Chapter 273: Mermaid Secrets
Lin Su smiled faintly: "The Zhang family, the Li family, the Li family, and the Yang family, are they considered local people?" ”
The four families he casually listed were all local squires, and they were also the leaders of these four families.
Ren Taiyan's eyes bulged, and he could only admit that the four of them were naturally local people......
Lin Sudao: "If you build this market, will the interests of the four of them be harmed?" Is it a rip-off? In addition, you set the law that those who kill mermaids are guilty of the same crime as murder, can they be regarded as escorting the mermaids? ”
A cold light shone in Yu Ji's eyes, and for the first time she saw the shamelessness of a high-ranking human official......
Ren Taiyan stood up suddenly: "The so-called crime of wanting to add, why is there no word, the adults insist on opening their eyes for the powerful and confusing black and white, so they are not afraid of being worthy of the Holy Dao?" ”
Lin Su said: "Lord Prefect, I'm not arrogant, I'm just telling you, you have your rhetoric, others have other people's rhetoric, you think the truth is on your side, and people can also pull the truth to the other side, if you only think about wandering around the capital and persuading the court, you can only fall into a war of words in the end, which is meaningless." ”
Ren Taiyan was surprised: "What do you mean, adult? ”
Lin Su said: "What I mean is very simple, if you want to truly realize the ambition in your heart, you must break off the idea of wandering in Beijing, and break through from the bottom with one mind." ”
"How to break through?"
"For example, you and I work together!"
Ren Taiyan's whole body was shocked, and Yu Ji's face changed suddenly, and her completely colorless face suddenly had a wisp of red......
"Adult ......"
Lin Su said slowly: "In your thinking inertia, the supervision envoy of the capital must be in the same stream as the court officials, and it is impossible to stand on your side to ask for the people's life, right?" ”
Ren Taiyan's eyes flickered......
Lin Su added: "That's because you don't know who I am." ”
"Who's your lord?"
Lin Su said: "Haining Lin Su! ”
Ren Taiyan's eyes lit up: "Take down Qin Fangweng, force the three princes away, and nail Zhang Wenyuan to the pillar of shame with a sentence of 'Luocheng wagging tail'?" ”
Lin Su said: "Exactly! ”
"Yu Ji, bring some food and drink...... I'll have a drink with Lord Lin. Ren Taiyan said.
Yu Ji was overjoyed......
"Use my wine!" Lin Su held his hand together, and a jar of wine appeared on the table, which was the first-grade white cloud.
Yu Ji brought a wine glass, brought a side dish, and stood next to her to wait, at this moment, she was unprecedentedly excited, because the inspector arrived, but the script deviated, and the inspector who came had made it clear that he would stand with her husband and be saved! Finally saved! God opens my eyes......
Lin Su held up his wine glass: "Lord Ren, I toast you." ”
"Why do you respect me?"
"Because of the eight prefectures of Xizhou, only by leaving the mansion can we vaguely get a glimpse of the true face of the Holy Dao!"
Ren Taiyan's heart suddenly heated, how many years, he finally got an affirmation from officialdom, the only time!
He held up his wine glass, his eyes flashing: "Lord Lin, you have heard my conversation with Yu Ji, if the situation gets out of control, I will go to Beijing to wander, do you know who the first lobbying target I envisioned is?" ”
"Who is it?"
"It's you, my lord!"
Lin Su was slightly surprised: "Why?" I'm a soft-spoken person. ”
"Although the official position of the adult is only five grades, but when he enters the literary world, he determines the world and enters the officialdom, a clear stream, how can he be a small person? And what is the lightheartedness? ”
Yu Ji interjected: "Lord Lin, what my lord admires most is the ability of adults to govern the world, that day I heard that Haining River Beach is under the rule of adults, and it has become a happy land, he has said many times that he must go to Haining to see and learn the art of governing the world by adults." ”
Lin Su smiled: "Okay, let's communicate with each other, and I will also learn from adults how to make friends with other races......"
Yes?
Ren Taiyan and Yu Ji were all stunned, what do you mean? Ask about sin?
Lin Su added: "I have a confidante of the demon clan, I have never made up my mind, whether to accept her, today I learn the way of life of adults, and I will accept her when I go back, you say, is this considered to be a practical application?" ”
Ha ha......
Cluck......
Both of them were happy, and in a word, the distance between them was zero......
Rentaiyan accepts mermaids as concubines, which is a taboo in officialdom.
This kind of behavior is not explicitly prohibited by the law, but if it falls into the hands of people with ulterior motives, it can also make a big fuss, so Yu Ji usually does not show her face, so as not to give people a truth.
Today, Lin Su sneaked into the study and saw all the behaviors of Ren Taiyan and the concubine, and the relationship between the two was indisputable, so it would be a little embarrassing.
Lin Su eliminated this embarrassment with one sentence.
That is to tell them directly: I also have a concubine who is a demon clan, we are all the way, you don't have to be embarrassed, and I can't use this as your article......
Ren Taiyan let out a long breath and held up his wine glass: "I really didn't expect that the Supervision Department would actually send Lord Lin to check on me." ”
Lin Su smiled mysteriously: "I thought of it a long time ago. ”
Ren Taiyan was slightly stunned......
Lin Su said: "Sending me to Xizhou is a game of chess for them!" You and you are both pawns on their chessboard. ”
Ren Taiyan changed color: "That...... How to deal with it? ”
"The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know your opponent, and never slack off in a hundred battles, tell me about the situation......"
Related Facts......
Ren Taiyan said......
In the officialdom, Zhang Chun controls the overall situation, and in the three months since he took office, he has excluded dissidents, installed cronies, and almost all of the seven prefectures except for the Lifu are his people, and the only few that are not under his control have also been suppressed by him in every possible way, and they have no real power.
On the rivers and lakes, all the high-rollers in the rivers and lakes are all vested interests in the mermaid industry chain, and behind them is Tianquan Villa, whose strength is unfathomable, and there are no taboos.
The influence of the Dao Shengjia is unprecedented, but the Dao Shengjia is on Zhang Chun's side, and the Shengjia believes in "nature first", "existence is reasonable", and "rule by inaction", and the people also feel that it is reasonable to capture mermaids.
The military, don't ignore that there is also a military, the garrison of Yandang Mountain said that it was to prevent the invasion of Dachuan State, but in fact, it was, Dachuan Country had no reason to cross Yandang Mountain, you need to know that Yandang Mountain is infested with ghosts, strange beasts are rampant, anyone who passes through the mountains is a life of nine deaths, it is a forbidden place for marching at all, as long as the generals of Dachuan Country are not crazy, they will definitely not send troops into the country from this side.
This garrison should have been transferred to the demon battlefield a long time ago, and Zhang Wenyuan stayed, why? Make money for him! In the past three years, more mermaids have been captured by this army than all the people in the rivers and lakes combined.
Yu Ji was beside her, her lips trembled slightly, officialdom, people, rivers and lakes, and the military were all enemies of the mermaid clan, and who could she rely on? There are only two people in front of her, one is her husband, and the other is an inspector from the capital.
Alone!
One man no man!
Who can reverse heaven and earth?
The hope that came out of her at the beginning was almost zero at the moment.
After Ren Taiyan said this, he let out a long breath: "I know what the adults mean, I want to use some strength, but unfortunately on our side, in addition to the tens of millions of people who have left the house, how can we borrow strength?" ”
Lin Su said: "Not really! After all, there is some power. ”
"Who?" Ren Taiyan groaned......
He already had the answer in his heart, he guessed what kind of power Lin Su wanted to borrow, could it be those state officials who were suppressed by Zhizhou? For example, Chaeyeol and others? But the power that these people have is actually the power of officialdom, and under the premise that Zhizhou controls officialdom, the power of these people is not power at all......
Lin Su raised his eyes, somewhat mysterious: "I heard that the mermaid clan is also a big alien race in heaven and earth, but I don't know why it has fallen to this step, the military, officialdom, squires, Haoqiang, Jianghu guests, and even some cats and dogs have come over to catch and sell ......them."
The mermaid clan is the power that Lin Su really wants to borrow.
All their entanglements revolve around whether the mermaid should be killed or protected, and the mermaid clan is a chess piece in the Terran chessboard, but why? The mermaid race itself is a big alien race, and it has existed for countless years, so does it have no power to protect itself?
Why do you become a pawn of humanity?
If the mermaid clan has its own strength, then the power of their "mermaid" faction has the most powerful support from the root.
Yu Ji slowly stood up: "My lord, can I answer this question?" ”
"Okay, you say!"
Yu Ji took a deep breath......
The mermaid clan, a different race from heaven and earth, also dominated a generation of storms thousands of years ago.
Entering the West Sea, it is majestic, forcing the West Sea Dragon Palace to draw a line and rule.
Out of the West Sea, he also fought side by side with the three thousand warriors of the Sword Gate, pointed at the Black Shadow King, killed tens of millions of demon soldiers, and his strength was extremely strong......
Lin Su's heart was shocked, the mermaid clan was actually the force that fought against the demon army back then, and it had fought side by side with the Sword Gate, could its decline be the same as the Sword Gate? The high-rise is wiped out, causing the clan to be empty?
No, Yu Ji told him, it's not like that, although the mermaid clan also suffered heavy losses back then, it did not shake the foundation of the clan, more than 800 years after the founding of the country, the mermaid clan is still half of the overlord of the West Sea, and the West Sea Dragon Palace is ruled by drawing a line, even the Dragon Palace can't do anything about it, how dare the cultivators in the world enter the West Sea to spread wild?
The real problem was 200 years ago......
Two hundred years ago, there was a problem with the sacred tree in the Holy Land.
The sacred tree is the foundation of the holy land and the source of mermaid power.
The consequences of the withering of the sacred tree are devastating.
The high-level cannot break through, and the cultivation is going down step by step.
The middle level cannot be broken through, and the cultivation is becoming more and more difficult.
The newborn mermaid is plagued by many disasters and diseases, and spirituality is gradually lacking in the blood.
Later, once the mermaid landed, it could not mobilize its cultivation, and it became a waste, and the entire mermaid clan was imprisoned in a corner of the West Sea.
After another hundred years, the situation became more serious, the sacred tree dried up further, the clansmen not only could not land, but could not even stay away from the holy land, the circle of survival was shrinking step by step, and now, even the high-level leaders could not be hundreds of miles from the shore, as long as they entered the circle of death for a hundred miles, they were in danger of being caught.
"The sacred tree is dry, is there a solution?" Lin Su asked this key question.
Yu Ji shook his head lightly: "For more than two hundred years, the clan has conceived countless methods, but none of them worked, and the clan often sent young talents to travel the world to seek advice from the wise people in the world and practice masters, these people who were released were called 'green lanterns', and I didn't hide from the adults that I was also a green lantern ......."
"Green light?" Lin Su groaned: "Burn yourself and illuminate the clansmen, is this what you mean?" ”
"Your Excellency! That's exactly what it means! Yu Ji said: "Every green lantern is a spark of hope released by the mermaid clan, we stepped on the shore, we didn't plan to look back, we just hope that when we are scattered all over the world, we can find a chance to find a glimmer of life for the mermaid clan......"
Ren Taiyan held her hand and said softly: "I really hope to find an opportunity for you, but unfortunately I still don't have the ability, I'm sorry." ”
Yu Ji's hand shook lightly: "Don't say that, master, I know that you have been to the Holy House of the Passage, you have been to Yaochi, you have traveled to every corner of the mansion, visited all kinds of strange people, but failed to find an opportunity, but it is just the providence of God, you also personally created a safe haven for the mermaid clan, so that thousands of mermaids avoided the fate of being arrested when they went ashore, and who in the clan does not know your favor to the mermaid clan?" ”
Lin Su looked at the two people who were holding their hands together, no, one person and one alien...... The heart fluctuates.
In a desperate situation, a large number of mermaids are released every year, and they know that when these mermaids are released, there are very few who can step out of Xizhou with their free bodies, and most of them will fall into the trap of the Terrans and become the playthings of the Terrans, but they are still the same.
Why? I only hope that these mermaids who are scattered in other places will have a chance to find an opportunity to rescue the whole clan.
Is there any hope that there will be?
Maybe it really is!
Yu Ji found Ren Taiyan and set up a safe haven for the mermaids.
Maybe someone will find a peerless strange person who will really solve the danger of the mermaid race's extermination......
It's a slim hope, so slim that it's heart-wrenching.
When each "green lantern" stepped out of the clan, it was impossible to know who they would meet, nor did they know their fate......
There is only a beginning and no end to the wandering, with a fate that may always be hopeless......
Year after year, generation after generation, batch after batch......
Suddenly, there was a slight sound in the well outside, Ren Taiyan and Yu Ji were startled at the same time, there, there is a secret road, leading directly to the West Sea, usually few people come, once someone comes, it must be an emergency.
In the well, an old man stuck out his head, on his head, there was not a single hair, but there were deep wrinkles, and in each wrinkle, there was green moss, it was obvious that he was not a human race, an old man, quite an old one.
Yu Ji was taken aback: "Elder, how can you ...... it personally?"
"Yu Ji, Lord Ren...... Well? The old man's eyes suddenly shot a fine light, and he firmly locked on Lin Su at the door of the study.
"Elder, he is a good friend of the master, our side!" Yu Ji immediately stopped.
The glint in the elder's eyes slowly faded......
Ren Taiyan said: "Elder don't be nervous, this lord can definitely be trusted." ”
The elder nodded: "Lord Ren, I didn't dare to use the snail to send a message today, and I took the risk to come here just for an extremely serious matter......"
"You say!"
"Princess Yingying has been arrested!"
What? Yu Ji's face turned pale suddenly: "Princess Yingying? She...... How did she come out? ”
"It's hard to put into words!" The elder said: "Lord Ren, I beg you, no matter what, you must save the princess, the mermaid clan can lose tens of millions of people, but Princess Yingying can't miss half a point." ”
"Don't worry, tell me everything......" Ren Taiyan's face was solemn.
The elder let out a long breath and told them the truth.
Princess Yingying came out without permission, no one knew that she had infiltrated the caravan and came to the market, the situation happened so suddenly that by the time the elders found out, it was too late, and she had already been arrested......
Ren Taiyan said: "Who did it? ”
"Yang's!" The elder said.
"Good!" Ren Taiyan said: "Elder, you go back first, I will go to the Yang family and rescue the princess." ”
"Your Excellency......" the elder said: "The Yang family has accepted a large number of masters of the rivers and lakes in order to do illegal things, and they rely on the support of the officials, and they have been quite disrespectful to the adults in the past. ”
Take the money to buy the princess, this is the best way to solve the problem, and the people of the Yang family don't know that the person who caught it is the princess, and they can't ask much price, so if they buy it, the problem will be solved.
However, Ren Taiyan's face was full of confusion.
Take money to buy?
Obviously prohibiting the capture, he paid the prefect to spend money on the transaction, didn't he indirectly recognize the legitimacy of the capture? So what is the ban on fishing he issued?
"Spending money to buy is to encourage the wind of hunting, and this official will never negotiate a deal with thieves!" Ren Taiyan said: "Elder, you go first, wait for me to catch the catch, and set off immediately!" ”
A voice came from behind him: "Catch it quickly!" I'll come, I'll be a guard for the adults! ”
Ren Taiyan was overjoyed: "That's great, my lord, please!" ”
They broke through the air and disappeared into the night.
The elder stared at the sky, and there was a strange color on his face......
This person dressed in the clothes of Jianghu people is actually a person in the officialdom, and he is also a Confucian of literature and Taoism, which he never expected.
