Chapter 17 The Zhao family wants to swallow the dragon!
There are four major families in Darkmoon City, namely the Yuan family, the Zhao family, the Huang family and the Yu family.
Not only the various incomes within the city, but also the mines and medicinal herb forests outside the city are jointly owned by the four major families.
Even the city lord of Darkmoon City was contested by the four major families in turns.
The Zhao family and the Huang family had replaced the Yuan family and took control of Darkmoon City's city government in the past hundred years.
Among the four major families, the Huang family controls many mines, quarries, and most of the rare gold, iron, and special ores mined belong to the Huang family.
The Yu family, on the other hand, controls the large areas of medicinal gardens and forest farms around Dark Moon City, where they grow elixirs and herbs.
As for the Zhao family and the Yuan family, their income is mainly within the city. Most of the rents from the main shopping streets in Darkmoon City are accounted for by the Yuan family, the city lord.
As for the Zhao family, they have many shops in Darkmoon City, including wine shops, silver houses, and many shops for exchanging materials, many of which are controlled by the Zhao family.
The Huang family and the Yu family almost always obtain spiritual stone materials outside the city, earning hard-earned money.
The Yuan family and the Zhao family obtain more benefits in a more dignified and comfortable way.
Not only that, the Yuan family and the Zhao family also have a certain proportion of the annual income from the mines and medicinal herbs outside the city.
The so-called three-realm competition between the four major families is to redistribute the proportions of mines, stone quarries, medicine gardens, and forest farms outside the city based on the family's strength.
As for those in the city, which are firmly controlled by the Yuan family and the Zhao family, it is extremely difficult for the Huang family and the Yu family to intervene.
…
In the east of the city, deep inside a house belonging to the Yuan family, Lin Hanyu and his daughter were soaked in two huge wooden barrels.
The dark green liquid filled with wooden barrels had a foul smell, and some poisonous insects could be faintly seen floating out of it.
The poisonous insects that floated out, their small bodies quickly became hard, and they all died from poisoning.
Lin Hanyu, who was on the verge of dying due to the extremely poisonous "Motor Blood Pill" in his body, lowered his head and looked at his chest in humiliation. He could feel that there were many poisonous insects gathering in the middle Dantian, sucking the blood derived from the "Motor Blood Pill".
poison.
As the toxin left his body, his consciousness gradually became clearer, but the anger in his heart never faded.
On the other side, Lin Zhuyun, who was holding back the stench and the poisonous insects, closed her eyes tightly and was filled with grief and anger.
The father and daughter never expected that they would suffer such a heavy blow in the Yu family. Not only did they not get what they wanted, they almost lost their lives.
"Yu Yuan!"
The two of them shouted angrily inwardly.
"It wasn't me who took you out of the Yu family and out of Yu Yuan's hands to figure out how to detoxify. Your father and daughter are already dead." Yuan Lianyao appeared unexpectedly like a ghost.
The moonlight is like water.
Under the bright moonlight, she was wearing a tight silver-white dress, and her graceful figure looked like a mermaid with white scales.
"Giggle! Although this detoxification method is a bit unusual, it is effective after all." Yuan Lianyao's eyes wandered on Lin Hanyu and his daughter, making the two of them feel even more uncomfortable and aggrieved, "This is the dark place.
Yuecheng, I hope your Lin family won’t mess around again!”
"Master Lu of the Hanyin Sect is just outside the city! If she knew that her little daughter had suffered such a disaster, she would never let it go!"
Lin Hanyu knew very well that the woman in front of him had a profound background and that simply bringing her out of the Lin family might not be able to suppress her, so he took the Hanyin Sect as an example.
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you some news." Yuan Lianyao twitched her lips and said with a strange smile: "The guards outside the city found traces of a fierce battle in a cave. Han Yin
The master of the sect must have been killed, and his body has not been found."
"What?"
Father and daughter drank together.
"To be honest, I think there is someone else helping Yu Yuan behind him." Yuan Lianyao looked solemn, "After you two have lost your toxins, it's best to leave Dark Moon City as soon as possible. Let the Lin family and Han go first.
The Yin Sect has figured it out, so we can make a fuss. But Wan Qian died in Dark Moon City inexplicably without knowing anything, and I still have to take responsibility and explain to the Lin family and the Han Yin Sect."
After half-reminding and half-threatening words, the city lord left under the extremely surprised and confused eyes of the father and daughter.
…
In the city, Lingbaozhai, backyard.
Zhao Dongsheng, who has a strong body and even looks a bit bloated, wears seven rings inlaid with gold, silver and jade on his fat fingers, which is extravagant and exaggerated.
On the jade table in front of him were a pair of scissors, a jade plaque, and an iron ruler.
The three objects are all rare treasures, and they all emit a faint precious light and have unusual spiritual energy fluctuations.
"The Lilong Scissors are a genuine spiritual weapon. The grade is not high, it's only third grade."
Zhao Dongsheng slowly touched the black scissors, and there was a flash of dark light, like the legendary Li Long, which seemed to be suddenly activated and awakened inside the scissors, "A third-grade spiritual weapon is not considered top-notch in Dark Moon City, and there are still people who can produce it."
The starting price. But I don’t think you... are among them."
With a smile on his face, he looked at the visitor in front of him with careful eyes, "Frankly speaking, the reason why I am willing to see you is just because I have heard a lot about your deeds recently."
During the speech, his chubby body lay lazily on his back in the spacious reclining chair, without introducing the jade tablet and iron ruler, "If I'm not wrong, what you really want is the Lilong Scissors, right?
"
"good."
Yu Yuan's back was straight, neither arrogant nor humble, facing the second generation leader of the Zhao family, "I have inquired and found out that the Lilong scissors from your Zhao family's Lingbaozhai are very suitable for my aunt. So, I came here today.
, what I’m looking for is the Lilong scissors. As for the other two, I’m not interested at the moment.”
"laugh!"
Qin An, the nominal shopkeeper of Lingbaozhai, couldn't help but laugh out loud. Standing next to Zhao Dongsheng, he was as tall and thin as a stick, looking so strange and strange, "Young Master of the Yu family, I must remind you that this Li
When Longjian first arrived at Lingbaozhai, your aunt Yu Li came immediately."
"I still remember how reluctant she was to let go of it, but do you know why she couldn't take the Lilong scissors away?"
Without waiting for Yu Yuan to answer, Qin An answered on his own, "She can't afford the price!"
Zhao Dongsheng's recliner was shaking up and down exaggeratedly, "Our Lingbaozhai is not a charity place. We don't have enough spirit stones, so there is no point in talking about it anymore."
While speaking, he casually raised his hand to signal Qin An to see off the guest.
He has seen the person before, and his curiosity has been satisfied.
In his eyes, the awakened young master of the Yu family was indeed a bit strange and extraordinary.
But their Zhao family's Lingbaozhai is a place where they do business and make money. No matter how eloquent a person is, as long as he comes to Lingbaozhai empty-handed, he has no interest and has to wait patiently.
The Yu Yuan in front of him didn't even have a cloth bag or a leather bag to hold the spirit stones. He obviously came empty-handed.
Coming to Lingbao Pavilion empty-handed already means disrespect for him and the Zhao family!
"I heard that your beloved Zhao Yafu's realm has stagnated in the Yunling realm." Yu Yuan stepped forward and looked directly into Zhao Dongsheng's little eyes, "Miss Zhao is one year younger than me. According to common sense, those who cultivate in the late Yunling realm
Because, it’s not bad. But you and I both know that she is in the Tongmai and Yunling realms, and she advances very quickly. She obviously has the opportunity to enter the Huangting realm early like my fiancée."
"Squeak!"
The reclining chair that kept shaking slowly stopped.
Qin An, the nominal shopkeeper of Lingbaozhai, looked unkind and said coldly: "What does my young lady's practice have to do with you?"
Zhao Dongsheng's soybean-like small eyes also burst out with cold light, and a spiritual force as thick as a mountain suddenly enveloped Yu Yuan.
In an instant, Yu Yuan's straight back was forced to bend.
Zhao Dongsheng slowly walked down from the recliner. After his straight body, he was actually a head taller than Yu Yuan at this time. He was like a towering mountain of flesh, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"Master Yu doesn't have to worry about my little girl's cultivation." He twitched the corner of his mouth contemptuously.
A majestic force came with a sudden pressure!
Yu Yuan groaned, and his knees bent sharply, unable to bear the ground. Just when he was about to kneel down, he suddenly shouted: "Uncle Zhao, have you ever heard of the so-called 'raising young dragons' in Yinlong Lake?"
The terrifying pressure was released in an instant.
Yu Yuan took a breath and stood up straight again, looking at the second generation leader of the Zhao family with burning eyes, "I come here with sincerity. The reason why I dare to go empty-handed is because I know what Uncle Zhao really needs."
.”
"Yinlong Lake, raising young dragons, what are you talking about?" Qin Anqi asked.
"You go to the front yard, no one is allowed in, including you!" Zhao Dongsheng's face was deep, and his hands with seven rings were sometimes clenched and sometimes loosened, "You come with me!" He headed straight for the wing in the backyard.
go.
He didn't even take a second look at the Lilong scissors on the jade table, or the obviously valuable jade tablets and iron ruler.
Yu Yuan followed him in.
"How do you know Yinlong Lake?!"
In the backyard room, Zhao Dongsheng was obviously a little anxious and uneasy. The landscape paintings hanging on the wooden walls actually released green light as he spoke.
With just one glance, Yu Yuan knew that there was a secret formation in this wing that could isolate sounds and spiritual consciousness.
People who are not in the Yin Shen realm cannot overhear the words that happened in the wing through their spiritual consciousness.
"I want to know, did the Yinlong Lake get the permission of your Zhao family for the young dragon essence that was kept in your daughter's body?" Yu Yuan asked instead without answering, "This question is very crucial!"
Zhao Dongsheng's expression changed, "What do you know?"
"Uncle Zhao, please answer my question first!" Yu Yuan calmed down completely. He could already tell that because of his daughter's troubles, the second-generation leader of the Zhao family was in deep chaos.
Zhao Dongsheng hesitated for a long time and nodded lightly.
"Hey, it turns out we have permission." Yu Yuan smiled casually, "So, the real backer behind your Zhao family is Yinlong Lake."
"You can say that." Zhao Dongsheng didn't hide it, "Since you know Yinlong Lake, the so-called 'raising young dragons', and you know the dilemma faced by my little girl Yafu, you still dare to stand in front of me and talk boastfully..."
Zhao Dongsheng crossed his arms on his chest, and the dangerous aura in his body soared, "Then, if you don't have an explanation that satisfies me, I'm afraid I won't be able to let you leave alive."
"The true body is not here, but the young dragon whose soul is nourished in your body should be dead." Yu Yuan smiled with a relaxed expression, "You know, your love also knows, but hidden
Longhu may not know that the young dragon died outside, leaving only a wisp of spirit. If Hidden Dragon Lake knew about it, it would definitely sacrifice your wife and use that wisp of spirit and the dragon's blood that had been hidden earlier to help the young dragon regenerate.
Bar?"
Zhao Dongsheng looked as usual, gesturing for him to continue speaking with his eyes.
"You, or your Zhao family, don't want to sacrifice Zhao Yafu, but also want to carry out the 'swallowing dragon' plan secretly behind Hidden Dragon Lake, but is that so?" Yu Yuan shouted.
"So what?" Zhao Dongsheng grinned and grinned.
No matter how prosperous Yu Yuan was during this period, he was already ready to kill him and kill Yu Yuan here.
If the news of the "dragon swallowing" plan that the Zhao family is about to implement leaks out and Yinlong Lake knows about it, they may suffer the disaster of annihilation. He will never allow this to happen even if there is the slightest accident!
"Isn't it just 'Swallowing the Dragon'?" Yu Yuan chuckled, "Uncle Zhao, believe me, I can help you!"
