Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 330

[Chapter 330 Donghai Mansion]

Mansion This time, Lin Xiu originally planned to bring only five people.

Caiyi, Ning’er, Wan’er, Minghe, and A Ke.

They brought A Ke because they had serious things to do. Caiyi and the others were his real wives. If he brought Zhao Lingjun, she would just be a light bulb and it would be inconvenient to do anything.

But plans can’t keep up with changes. Before leaving, everything was messed up.

Without Zhao Lingjun, he couldn’t explain to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

If he brought Lingjun, Lingyin would also go.

If they all went, there was no reason to leave Linjiang alone at home.

Natasha was a guest. How could the host leave and let the guest stay at home?

Out of politeness, Lin Xiu asked Natasha if she wanted to go out and play together. Any woman from Daxia knew that she should refuse at this time and said that she was going home and would not bother him anymore. But

Natasha didn’t understand the etiquette of Daxia at all. She actually took this as an invitation and happily agreed.

The original six people became ten people.

So Lin Xiu’s honeymoon trip became a group tour.

When a beautifully decorated pleasure boat flew over the capital and disappeared into the distant sky, it was like the clouds that had been hanging over their heads for a long time dissipated. Countless people in the many powerful and noble houses in the capital breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally gone.

These powerful and noble children have never lived so aggrieved since they were born. At

an age when they should be arrogant and lawless, they are timid and hide at home humbly.

Just because of that family.

Five of them are in the top ten of the Tianjiao list. They are a family of Tianjiao. They don’t salute the prince, and dare to slap the crown princess if they don’t like her. The key is that they like to meddle in other people’s business. The powerful and noble are not afraid of the Ministry of Justice or the Ministry of Personnel, but they are all afraid of Lin Xiu.

If something really happens, the family will not protect them.

After waiting for them to leave, all the restaurants in the capital were crowded with the children of the rich and powerful who came to celebrate. There were even several fights because of the conflict of location…

After the fight, the children of the two rich and powerful families sat at a table drinking with bruised faces. Even if they lost, they were satisfied to have a good fight like before…

Three days later, in Daxia, Donghai Prefecture, a remote county town.

Donghai Prefecture is located in the easternmost part of Daxia. The terrain of this prefecture is narrow and long, with a long coastline and countless rivers flowing into the sea from Donghai Prefecture. This makes Donghai Prefecture rich in fisheries, but it also faces serious threats from the sea tribe.

These foreign races are cruel and violent. They often attack fishermen at sea and sneak into Donghai Prefecture through complex waterways. They burn, kill, rob and commit all kinds of evil. They are the biggest threat to Donghai Prefecture.

Although the imperial court stationed heavy troops in Donghai Prefecture to prevent the invasion of the sea tribe, it could not prevent their scattered and irregular actions. The ferocious sea tribe had made the people of Donghai Prefecture terrified by the water and moved their houses away from the water. Children were warned not to play near the water, as they would be easily caught and eaten by the sea tribe if they got close to the water.

Although the sea tribe did not eat people, they liked to drag humans near the water into the water and drown them.

If the government caught the sea tribe, they would tie them up and expose them to death under the scorching sun.

The hatred between the two tribes has a long history.

The people of Donghai Prefecture had a harder life than other places, because they not only had to beware of the sea tribe, but also had to endure the oppression of cruel officials, corrupt officials, and local tyrants.

In this remote place, officials were like emperors, and all kinds of heavy taxes were imposed every year. The people risked their lives to go out to sea to fish, and most of the money they earned was plundered by the government and went into the hands of those corrupt officials.

Although the wealthy merchants and tyrants were also forced to pay taxes like them, everyone knew that the money paid by the wealthy merchants and tyrants would eventually be returned in full, and the hard-earned money of the people would be divided up by them.

The people of Donghai Prefecture didn’t know how much they envied Jiangnan, which was separated by a prefecture.

The officials there were impartial and honest, and they would never cover up even if their sons committed crimes.

The wealthy merchants there were kind-hearted and often donated money to build bridges and

roads to help the people. The dandies there were kind-hearted, brave, and injustice-free. They often stood up for the people and punished many bullies. The whole Jiangnan Prefecture was very simple.

During this period, many people in Donghai Prefecture chose to go to their relatives in Jiangnan Prefecture because they couldn’t stand the life here.

But most people couldn’t leave their homeland and could only choose to endure it.

In Donghai Prefecture, a small county called Yunshui County, a young man and woman walked on the street. They were Lin Xiu and A Ke who had just arrived today.

After arriving in this small county, the women went shopping separately.

Lingjun, Lingyin, and Natasha are together, Princess Minghe and Qianye Lin are together, Caiyi, Ning’er, and Qin Wan are together. Although they get along very harmoniously, they also have their own small circles.

Lin Xiu and A Ke walked along the way and found that this small county town was extremely chaotic.

In the small county town, there are actually several gangs, divided into countless areas. If the people want to do business here, they need to pay them a share of money.

This share of money is not fixed. The better the business, the more you pay. From the perspective of proportion, it is more severe than the taxation of the court.

In addition, these street vendors need to pay “street patrol fees” to the patrolling constables every day. At the end of the day, there is not much profit left for themselves, and they may even lose money.

Even the people who have no business to do cannot escape various miscellaneous taxes. The people

have to pay taxes on the county magistrate’s birthday, the people have to pay taxes when they get married, the county magistrate’s parents have to pay taxes when they die, the relatives who are not related to him have to pay taxes when they die, and the heavy tax burden makes the people of Donghai Prefecture breathless.

On the street, a tall and strong man was collecting share money from an old man carrying two baskets.

The old man looked embarrassed and begged, “Today’s business has not yet opened. Can you wait for two hours…”

The strong man said coldly, “What do you mean by wait? Hurry up. You haven’t paid yesterday yet…”

The old man looked at the eggs in the basket and said helplessly, “I didn’t sell them yesterday. Otherwise, Uncle Chen will take a few eggs…”

The strong man said angrily, “What’s the use of your eggs!”

He kicked the old man with a bad temper, but he was kicked out first.

The force of the kick made him know that the man was not easy to mess with. He finally got up from the ground, pointed at the beautiful woman, and gritted his teeth and said, “You dare to meddle in the affairs of our Tianlong Gang, you are tired of living!”

At this time, several men who were squatting in the corner of the street and chatting saw this scene and ran over here quickly.

At the same time, on the other side of the street, several knife-wielding constables also passed through the crowd and approached Lin Xiu and A Ke.

Not far away, there was a group of men dressed in uniform and dressed as servants, holding wooden sticks, coming here aggressively.

In the past quarter of an hour, A Ke taught a lesson to a playboy who abducted a woman in the street and a constable who extorted protection fees, so the current scene appeared.

Several men on the corner of the street quickly ran over, and the constables pointed their swords at Lin Xiu and A Ke.

The limping young man pointed at Lin Xiu and A Ke angrily, and said to a dozen servants: “Beat them, as long as no one is killed!”

A moment later, whether it was the servants, the gang members of the Tianlong Gang, or the constables of the Yunshui County Yamen, they all lay on the ground, and no one could get up.

In the crowd, a young man who didn’t have time to rush up, turned around immediately after being shocked, and ran in a certain direction.

Yunshui County, Huang Family.

The Huang Family of Yunshui County is a branch of the Huang Family of Kyoto. It is called a branch, but in fact it is just the same surname as the Huang Family. There is a little blood relationship in the eighteen generations of ancestors.

Even so, they relied on the power of the Huang family to rise to prominence. In Yunshui County, they had the final say. Whether it was the government or the gangs, they had to give the Huang family some face. It

can also be said that the Yunshui County Government was the Huang family’s backyard. The largest gang in the county was also a loyal dog supported by the Huang family.

At this time, the head of the Huang family was holding a portrait in his hand and looking at it carefully.

The portrait showed a young man, who was handsome and heroic.

This painting was sent by the Huang family in Kyoto over a thousand miles in an expedited manner. The head of the Huang family attached great importance to it. Except for sending silver to Kyoto every year, they could contact the Huang family in Kyoto. Kyoto almost never took the initiative to contact them. For them to take the initiative to contact them, something important must have happened.

Along with the portrait, there was also a letter.

The letter said that if they saw this man in Donghai Prefecture, they must keep their distance from him and absolutely must not provoke him or any woman around him. Not only must they not provoke him, but they must not even look at him. In addition, they must be careful in what they do and what they say, and must not oppress the people or violate the law, otherwise Jingdu will not be able to save them.

Jingdu also suggested that they do more good things, such as building bridges and roads, punishing evil and promoting good, etc., to temporarily gain favor. Even if he targeted them, they would not be confiscated and exterminated…

The words “confiscation and extermination” made the head of the Huang family scalp numb.

Even Jingdu was so afraid of this person, they must stay as far away as possible.

Although he didn’t know whether this person would come to Donghai Prefecture, he had to warn the useless boys in his family to take it easy during this period. If they saw the person in the portrait, they should go home immediately and not go out again.

He was about to ask his servants to find his sons when a servant ran in, panting. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the portrait in the Huang family’s hand and said in surprise, “Master, you know everything!”

The head of the Huang family looked at a loss: “Know what?”

For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

The servant pointed at the young man in the portrait and said, “This is the man. He just meddled in other people’s business on the street and beat up the third son. The son just called a dozen guards, but they were all knocked down by him. I came back to get help…”

The head of the Huang family’s head “buzzed”, and then he knew nothing.

At the same time, on the streets of Yunshui County.

Lin Xiu and A Ke were surrounded by dozens of constables and dozens of Tianlong Gang members. A leading man sneered and said, “Go ahead, you are not very good at fighting, can you beat ten or a hundred?”

The county constables also looked at them with unfriendly eyes.

Then, they saw that surrounded by so many people, the young man actually smiled.

The next moment, their feet felt numb, and a chill rose from their feet, penetrating into their bones. A layer of ice appeared on the ground at some point, and the ice even spread to their lower bodies. All of them were frozen in place, half of their bodies were unconscious, and the biting cold made their teeth chatter, and they couldn’t even utter a complete sentence.

At this moment, they looked at the man with fear in their eyes.

The young man from the Huang family finally knew how to be afraid, and said tremblingly: “You, even if you are a magician, it’s nothing great. I tell you, we are Wangdu Huang…”

“Shut up!”

Before he finished speaking, a figure squeezed out from outside with difficulty and slapped him in the face. The slap was so heavy that it even knocked out two of his teeth.

The head of the Huang family walked quickly to Lin Xiu and said flatteringly, “My lord, Huang Yue has just been expelled from the family by me. He is no longer a member of the Huang family. His behavior has nothing to do with the Huang family, and his position does not represent the position of the Huang family. You can deal with him as you want. The Huang family will actively cooperate and will never cover up…”

Lin Xiu glanced at him and hadn’t said anything. The head of the Huang family said, “We are also to blame for the emergence of such a scum in the family. To express our apology, the Huang family is willing to donate 5,000 taels to build bridges and roads and help the poor people…”

Lin Xiu glanced at the people of the Tianlong Gang indifferently.

The head of the Huang family immediately said, “These bastards actually dared to offend you. They are really lawless. The Huang family has always been selfless and dedicated to the country and the people. They are irreconcilable with such evildoers who oppress the people. The Huang family will cooperate with the government to crack down on these evil forces and return a bright and clear sky to Yunshui County…”
