Chapter 228: The Ling Family

Two days later, in the palace of King Zhubu, there were many heroes.

The princes and nobles, ministers and officials here were all gathered to respond to Zhou Cheng's call.

Although Zhubu Country is a small country and a land of widows, it also has a territory of nearly 1,000 miles, relying on the vast sea, and has a vast land of resources.

In addition to the fact that there is no one on the top, and they are often plagued by pirate attacks, the princes and nobles here have no shortage of various uses, and this banquet is also held in a luxurious manner.

Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi pretended to be ordinary people and followed Zhou Cheng, Yi Yi and others in, but they did not rashly reveal their identities and move publicly, but found an excuse and quietly sat in the corner to observe secretly.

On the surface, Li Zhen closed his eyes to recuperate, but in fact, he shrouded this palace with his divine sense, carefully sensing the qi that was implicated.

"And it didn't ......"

After a long time, Li Zhen frowned slightly.

The clue he was looking for was not here.

Taking advantage of the fact that the same door came to check the situation, Li Zhen secretly said: "Senior Brother Yuan, are all the princes and nobles who have great influence in Zhubu country here? I don't seem to have seen the object of suspicion, could there be anyone who is not there?"

Because the person who had touched Shi Mixiang might have been a mature woman, Li Zhen suspected that she did not appear at the scene, and that she might be the wife of some prince.

Senior Brother Yuan was slightly stunned: "I don't know about this." ”

Li Zhen shook his head, his method of tracking clues was a bit idealistic, and it was really difficult to find help from others.

"Forget it, I'll look for it myself. ”

"The Lord of the Kingdom Arrives ......"

At this moment, the master of ceremonies shouted an announcement, and the ceremonial music played.

The lord of Zhubu Country has arrived.

He was an old man with gray hair, wearing a pale gold brocade robe, and he stepped down and walked in slowly with the support of a woman.

"Zhou worship, congratulations on your safe return!

We heard that you were attacked by pirates, and we were deeply worried, but luckily the Jiren have their own nature.

I transferred a thousand-year-old Xuan ginseng from the treasury, as well as three fireflies, as well as a number of worldly property, to suppress the convulsion and recuperate the wounds of the Zhou offerings, I wonder if the Zhou offerings can be received?"

The lord of Zhubu Country smiled when he saw Zhou Chengcheng, with sincere care and condolences.

Yi Yi snorted secretly when he heard this.

She remembered that she went to ask the lord of the Zhubu country to send troops to rescue, but she didn't get support at all.

However, there is nothing that adults can't get over on the surface, even if they kill their parents, they all have an allusion to a piece of the pie.

Zhou Cheng replied with a smile: "I received it yesterday afternoon, thank you for the generous gift from the king." ”

"That's good, that's good. With a smile on his face, the Lord of Zhubu Country greeted the Qi refining disciples of Xuanxin Country one by one.

Everyone sneered and didn't want to see them.

However, the lord of the Zhubu country is already a handful of years, and he may die by himself at some point, and they don't bother to say anything.

Li Zhen glanced at the lord of the Zhubu country from a distance, and didn't care, but looked at the woman who was supporting him.

When they came over and entered the main hall, his face suddenly changed slightly, and he finally sensed something.

"The smell...... It's that kind of hand cream!"

And when he quietly got closer and smelled the other party's body odor, he turned this guess into certainty.

This woman is the one who colluded with pirates!

At least, her hands had touched those stone rice incense before.

"Senior Brother Zhou, who is the woman next to the Lord of Zhubu Country?"

Soon after, everyone found a gap and discussed privately.

Zhou Chengdao: "That's Mrs. Ling, the favorite concubine of the lord of Zhubu Country, I don't know the specifics." ”

"Does she have a problem?" Yi Yi said in surprise, "I do know something, Mrs. Ling is a woman from a powerful family in Zhubu Country, married to the lord of Zhubu Country, and is a very old cow eating tender grass."

However, the queen of Zhubu Kingdom died of illness more than ten years ago, and she has been keeping to herself since she entered the palace, but she has not caused any turmoil, nor has she interfered in the inheritance of the royal family.

There is gossip that the lord of the country is no longer able to have children, so there will be no more young children, and her favorite concubine should be plain and bland, very honest and responsible, probably because she is afraid that the new king will be liquidated after succeeding to the throne. ”

Li Zhen sneered: "Honest duty? Such a character, even pirates dare to collude, it is obvious that he has a big plan, or he is someone else's pawn, where is there an honest duty?"

"What, she colluded with pirates?"

Li Zhen said: "I suspect that not only her, but the entire Ling family has a problem!"

Zhou Cheng's expression was solemn: "The head of the Ling family is here, do you want to take him down immediately?"

Li Zhen said, "What is the background of this Ling family?7

Zhou Chengdao: "I only know that their ancestor was the Marquis of Fubo, who once followed the founding monarch, and he is still hereditary, but there are not a few such nobles, at best, they are only at the level of the Qi Refining Realm." ”

Yi Yi said: "There are a lot of loose cultivators like this in the reckless rivers and lakes, and some of them are tired of cultivating and progressing in life, so they simply integrate into the mundane, and pull a group of Taoist friends to start the country and stand on their own, if you are lucky, it will not be a problem to inherit it for hundreds of years." ”

Li Zhen nodded, he had also studied these phenomena when he was a colt in Xuanxin Country before.

Indeed, the realm of refining qi is enough to open the country and establish himself as a king.

Of course, if Guozuo wants to grow, or occupy some high-grade spiritual material production places, then he must have a background above the foundation.

Otherwise, don't say that others are fighting for it, it's a normal natural and man-made disaster, and the invasion of demons and monsters can't withstand it.

Zhou Chengdao: "Because it is a joint venture, these domestic nobles are very powerful, and there is no shortage of anti-guest-oriented things to seize the country, but this is another kind of normal state outside the Xuanxin country."

After we came here, we found that the nobles here have their own actual ruling range, and their strength even exceeds that of the royal family.

This Ling family is not obvious on the surface, but in fact it is also a strong country in the country, in recent years, with the women of the clan entering the harem, and several main competitors are unlucky, it has developed stronger and stronger.

However, all along, we, the worshippers and the domestic aristocracy, have been well water and do not interfere with river water, and they do not seem to have any reason to deal with us, on the contrary, if they really have ambitions, they should actively win them over. ”

Li Zhen said: "That's not necessarily, not everyone has complete information, can deal with everything perfectly, you analyze it afterwards, they are indeed quite unwise to rashly deal with you, but if you succeed in solving you, seize your magic weapons and treasures, and support your own masters?"

Moreover, the relationship between the Ling family and the Blood Shark Thieves may not be what we imagined, they are in collusion with them, don't they want to use a knife to kill people and get rid of control? For them, what does Lian Li do have to do with them?

The Ling family only needs to consider the interests of the Ling family, and does not need to consider the interests of pirates. ”

When Zhou Cheng heard this, his expression froze.

In that case, it's really possible that they did it!

"So what should I do now, do I want to debunk them directly, or do I secretly collect evidence?"

"Let's wait for the stewards of the Chamber of Commerce to send the results of the battle, and see how they react. Li Zhen said.

Evidence or something, there is no need, what they want to do is not to make domestic and foreign obedience, but to deter Xiaoxiao and ensure the safety of everyone in Xuanxin Peak here.

As long as you can be sure that you have found the right master.

Not long after, sure enough, someone from the palace came to report the news with joy on their faces.

"Great victory, great victory!"

"The East Coast sniper pirate victory, the elders of the Chamber of Commerce successfully sank three pirate treasure ships, collected the rest, and hunted down pirates!"

"What? Such a big victory?"

"Didn't the pirates elect a new ten-leader who flaunted his might a while ago, and the whole army was wiped out so quickly?"

"What's wrong with that Lian Li? Ordinary pirates can't kill enough, and the thief leader is the key!"

Just as everyone was talking, suddenly another person came to report the news.

"Lian Li has given the head, and the Foundation Building Immortal Master of the Chamber of Commerce has already brought his head back!"

"What?"

This time, the scene is boiling more and more.

Not long after, a light galloped in, went straight into the capital of the king of Zhubu, and went straight to the royal city.

The person who came was the rudder who sat here to worship Elder Tu, who had escaped with the inspection envoy of the Money Society when he had fought with Lian Li before.

This time he was a shame, not only did he participate in the killing operation be a great success, but he also found Lian Li's body in the valley before.

Although the Chamber of Commerce is still secretly tracking down the truth and looking for the whereabouts of Tong Yuan and Mo Lan, this does not prevent them from taking this merit for themselves after confirming the authenticity of Lian Li's corpse and publicizing it greatly.

This is a great victory for the peaceful side, and it is also the capital for the promotion and meritorious service within the Chamber of Commerce.

Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi watched this scene from a distance and did not step forward to join in the fun.

This is what he left in place to avoid trouble, just let the Chamber of Commerce bear part of the cause and effect, so as not to attract the attention of the Blood Shark King.

In short, the Chamber of Commerce got its name on the table, benefited secretly, and finally took the blame from both the male and female, everyone took what they needed, and they all had a bright future.

"Everyone, this is the head of the thief Lian Li, please hang it at the head of the city to show the public!

In a few days, the pirates and the three shipowners will be escorted here, and a grand public execution meeting can be held to comfort the people!"

Elder Tu fell into the palace square, and showed Lian Li's head to everyone to see, and announced the decision of the local chamber of commerce.

"yes, that's great!"

"We've been plagued by pirates for a long time, and this time we're proud of it!"

"The Blood Shark Thief suffered such a heavy blow, it must be a great loss of vitality, and in a short period of time, I dare not commit it again!"

Everyone was happy.

Li Zhen paid attention to Mrs. Na Ling, and found that she had a shocked look on her face, but immediately she also looked overjoyed, and secretly looked at a middle-aged man not far away, as if she had a code.

Li Zhen's heart moved slightly, and while Elder Tu in front of him was not paying attention, he spread his divine sense to the rear dozens of zhang.

"Dad, is this true?

"I've seen all the heads, can there be any fakes? I really didn't expect that the encirclement and suppression organized by the Yuan family could actually make a contribution, but the night before I heard that they lost their troops and lost their generals, and even Elder Yuan didn't come back!"

"It seems that the requisition is unfavorable, but the high-level of the Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to it, and immediately sent a second group of people over to forcibly kill the thief!"

"This is really God helping my Ling family, I didn't expect that the big trouble in my heart was solved like this, but we have traded with Lian Li over the years, and we have left a lot of hands and tails, so we have to solve them as soon as possible, and those who know about it must also be dealt with as soon as possible......"

"That's right, there are many secret contacts with pirates on land, but directly dealing with a notorious thief like Lian Li, I don't know how many people have been robbed and oppressed by him, and he is jealous of his gains, if you let others know, he still has a property in ......"

"Shhh ”

The head of the Ling family and Mrs. Ling soon came back from behind.

Because after someone at the scene confirmed Lian Li's head, they also privately discussed whether to donate any money and materials to reward the masters, and everyone didn't care about their temporary departure.

The head of the Ling family knew the opportunity, and quickly joined their discussion and set an example.

"In order to thank all the immortal masters and masters for Jingping and eliminating harm for the people, my Ling family is willing to donate 100,000 Fu money......"

"My Lin family donated 50,000!"

"My Wang family donated 60,000 yuan!"

"My Yuan family donated 300,000!"

For a time, the crowd was enthusiastic and enthusiastic.

"Hehehehe, you don't have to be polite, Lian Li's own chamber of commerce has a bounty bonus, and another magic weapon treasure ship harvest, if you are interested, you still use the money to buy them, as a merchant ship, and then make the Fang market here bigger and stronger together!"

Elder Tu was obviously a long-term visioner, making full use of the power of these mundane nobles.

The foundation building master does not mean that there is one, and having a magic weapon-level treasure ship is indeed enough to cross the sea and fight against some pirates led by Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

This is a very beneficial thing for the development of the chamber of commerce.

From beginning to end, Elder Tu didn't find Li Zhen and the others hiding in the distance, and when Elder Tu left, no one could see through their true bodies.

No one noticed that there was one more person in the team where the head of the Ling family went back.

It was the incarnation of Li Zhen after he disguised himself and changed his appearance and qi.

Not to mention the head of the Ling family, even Zhou Cheng and the others can't tell the difference, and only Mu Qingsi, a Taoist who gets along with him day and night and participates in the double cultivation method, can feel it with the resonance of mana.

He quietly followed the head of the Ling family back to his accommodation, and after he retreated left and right, and after being alone, he suddenly lifted the method of invisibility and appeared in the room.

"Don't move, don't shout, honestly bring out the inside story of your collusion with Lian Li!"

The head of the Ling family was startled and stammered, "This ...... This immortal master, you ...... What do you say?"

"What are these, you won't be unrecognizable, will you?"

Li Zhen threw a bag of things found from the nameless island in front of the head of the Ling family.

Although these things were ordinary, they were the same as those spiritual materials and pills, they came out of the palace, and they were added and transferred by the Ling family with the help of their daughter's channel.

The head of the Ling family was irrefutable, his body shook, and he almost went limp.
