There are evil spirits, pirates, and evil snakes in that place, and the gods can't do anything about it even if they come.
"In the past half month or so, in Yu County, Pan Town and other seven or eight towns in the south of Bailie, seven to eight hundred young adults have left their homes and gone south. In particular, more than 400 people have left Pan Town, and some even moved their entire families.
Go, it seems that you don’t plan to come back. After the government investigated, they found that someone came from Blade Port, where they recruited a large number of laborers to go to the Yangshan Islands, and the wages were favorable."
"Yangshan Islands?" Lu Qing'an laughed when he heard it, "He still doesn't give up and wants to do something big?"
By now, Master He should have discovered that the Yangshan Islands are uninhabitable, but does he still want to make trouble and remedy the situation?
The experience and lessons passed down by the ancestors of the Lu family, the harder the hell, the faster it goes bankrupt.
"It's late autumn, what can he do?"
"Xiaguan also heard rumors a few days ago that the pirates of the Yangshan Islands have returned to the newly arrived owner of He Island. This news has been spread in Qucheng. Some people say that this is a gangster attack, but..."
Lu Qingan raised his hand to interrupt him: "Wait a minute, the pirates surrendered? Which group of pirates surrendered?"
He was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, the Yangshan Islands had been plagued by robberies for a long time, and the Lu family used to deal with them every few years.
If you clean it up once, it will be quiet for several years, and then theft will come back again.
"I heard that both the first and second groups were surrendered, and they did so easily. Yue Ping and the other group were captured by Lord He Dao, so he took the newly acquired pirates Min Tianxi and Huang Zhao to attack, and they captured them in less than half a day.
Already."
No wonder people in Bailie think that the man named He is the new pirate leader who is playing black and white. Anyway, Yangshan Islands has been sold and has nothing to do with Bailie for the time being. The Blade Port facing it is not his own, Lu Qing
An was surprised and found it interesting:
"I can't believe that this young master He is not good at business, but he is still very good at fighting."
The magistrate of Qucheng County stopped talking.
Lu Qingan saw this and waved his hand: "Tell me, is there anything else fishy?"
The magistrate of Qucheng County solemnly said: "It is now the autumn harvest season. If there are too many laborers going south, the grain harvest in the official fields may be affected."
Lu Qing'an's smile immediately dropped by three points: "Issuing an order that farmers and workers are not allowed to leave the local area without authorization, and those who violate the rules will be punished with a forty stick; the South Road post station that leaves the country must strictly check the index."
The magistrate of Qucheng County accepted it, but he knew that this order was difficult to implement. The southern border of Bailie was only forty miles away from Daofeng Port. Although Daofeng Port had been "borrowed" by the Qing Kingdom, it was a free port after all. The southern border of Bailie was
Residents often go there to visit relatives and friends, and merchants transport goods there. The bilateral ties are very close.
It’s hard to say how effective this paper ban will be if it continues.
"The person sent by the lower official to the Blade Port to inquire about the news has just come back and has basically confirmed that the island master has conquered the pirates. Several sea madmen were drinking in the tavern of the Blade Port and made the battle against Centipede Island go viral."
The Qucheng County Magistrate hesitated for a moment, thinking about how to word his next words, "In addition, there are one or two other things that are also making a fuss in Daobian Port. Even if I don't mention it, it will come to your ears in a few days.
Come over here."
Lu Qingan frowned slightly and had a bad feeling in his heart: "Is it related to us?"
"Yes, yes." Qucheng County Magistrate whispered, "Legend has it that the Lord of He Island dispelled the evil spirit of Yangshan Islands and defeated the evil dragon of Longji Island."
"Impossible!" Lu Qingan denied bluntly, "Absolutely impossible!"
"This was also revealed by the pirates. Some of them followed Island Master He into the archipelago and killed many giant snakes. They also claimed that the corpses of Yin Hui that kept drifting to the coast of Blade Port a while ago were all caused by Master He's declaration of war on the Yin Hui clan.
result!"
"What's the result?" Lu Qing'an sneered, "How many people are there under the surname He? It's ridiculous to dare to take the merits of heaven for yourself."
Are all the pirates of this generation so stupid that they just believe a foreigner's lies? Lu Qing'an regrets a little. If he had known it was so simple, wouldn't the Lu family have surrendered on their own?
The Yangshan Islands are not completely worthless, and some islands that are not shrouded in evil can still produce some output.
In the past, the Lu family did not take care of the Yangshan Islands. First, because pirates grew like weeds, and there were new ones after killing them. The cost of managing the islands was higher than the benefits; secondly, after the Blade Port was borrowed by the Qing Kingdom, hundreds of
There is a barrier between Lie and Yangshan Islands. If you want to take a serious boat ride, you have to pass through Blade Port first, otherwise you have to go around in a big circle, making it inconvenient to come and go.
The county magistrate of Qucheng shook his head: "The pirates who participated in the battle on Centipede Island said that when Yue Pinghe escaped by boat, it was the owner of He Island who blew his flute to summon the evil snake and gave him the final blow."
Lu Qing'an laughed loudly: "You mean, Yin Mo can cooperate with the one named He?" Those monsters can also communicate with people? It's ridiculous! They are only interested in human flesh.
"The pirates swore that the Yinhui would obey the orders of the Lord of He Island." The magistrate of Qucheng County smiled bitterly, "The official also thought that it was just a coincidence, because the Yinhui would eat people regardless of location or occasion. But the official went around and asked the people around Min Tianxi,
The answer I got was that the Lord of He Island and a big demon landed on Longji Island, visited the Lord of Yin Hai, and then reached an agreement with the Yin Hai tribe."
"When he returned from Baiyuan, Min Tianxi, Huang Zhao and others all saw the contents of the agreement with their own eyes."
"What's the content?" Lu Qingan no longer found the joke about a rich young man buying an island unfunny.
"Part of Longji Island is also allocated to the Yin Hui, and the Yin Hui cannot come to disrupt the normal industry of He Lingchuan."
"It can't be a fake agreement, right?" Lu Qing'an found it unbelievable, "Has the person you asked him seen the terms with his own eyes?"
"Well, I saw it, but I couldn't understand it. It is said that it was written in ancient immortal language."
Lu Qing'an laughed heartily: "These pirates don't know a few Chinese characters, how can they recognize the ancient immortal language? And they dare to say it with certainty!"
For pirates, what's the difference between ancient fairy language and ghostly drawings? They don't recognize it anyway.
The man surnamed He held a piece of paper with ghost drawings and easily frightened these uneducated roughnecks.
"It is said that someone among the pirates knows it. The second leader, Min Tianxi, knows the language of ancient immortals." Qucheng County Magistrate said, "He is right, and his subordinates naturally believe it."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It's a farce!" Lu Qing'an said decisively, "If your preface is true, the Yin Hui tribe was really massacred by him, and the King of Yin Hui can still achieve the goal with him
protocol?"
He pointed out doubts: "Even if this agreement is true, there is no provision for conspiracy to aid the war."
"But the pirates are convinced and now regard the owner of He Island as a god." Qucheng County Magistrate continued, "The fishermen and boatmen in Blade Port also said that even if they go to sea on a cloudy day, there are no more people in the depths of the archipelago.
The gray mist floats, making it very safe for boating."
Lu Qingan murmured to himself: "Yin evil spirits, pirates, and evil spirits, are they really all defeated by him?"
Reason told him that this was absolutely impossible.
But Lu Qing'an suddenly remembered that after He Lingchuan paid the final payment for the island, Master Yang came to report that Master He had turned a blind eye to the pirates mentioned by Renee and turned a blind eye to the corpse of the evil snake floating on the sea.
I'm afraid I already knew this.
At that time, he also felt that Master Yang's inference was reasonable, but the island had been sold and the money had been received, so he was too lazy to think about it.
Now that I think about it carefully, did the person named He have a premeditated plan?
He was confident about solving the problems of the Yangshan Islands, so he came to Bailie to lower the price and bought such a vast archipelago at an astonishingly low price!
If the evil spirit of the Yangshan Islands can be eliminated from now on, the fertile land and rich products of the more than 40 islands will be coveted!
Lu Qingan was a little confused.
Although the Yangshan Islands have earth evil Yin veins, they are different from other Yin evil places. There are no vegetation in those places, animals are not close, and they are of no value at all. However, the Yangshan Islands are exposed to the sun, and the food crops growing on the islands are only
If it can be exposed to the sun, it will not be contaminated with evil spirits, and humans and animals will not get sick if they eat it.
After he composed himself, he said to the Qucheng County Magistrate: "Don't tell my father about this."
The Qucheng County Magistrate looked embarrassed: "Ah, this..."
Lu Zhensheng is the head of the Lu family.
Lu Qingan felt something was wrong as soon as the words came out of his mouth. He slapped his head and said, "Ah, I'm confused. You can talk to my father in the afternoon."
The Qucheng County Magistrate then agreed and withdrew.
…
Near noon, father and son had lunch together.
Lu Zhensheng chatted with his eldest son for a while about the government affairs in the territory, then he grabbed a piece of thin-skinned soft pancake, rolled some fragrant barbecue slices, and smeared it with pear jam. He squinted his eyes as he ate:
"Qing'an, have you heard about what happened in Yangshan Islands recently?"
Lu Qing'an cursed secretly in his mind, the old man could only think internally, it would be great if he could be so quick-thinking externally.
But he had a confused look on his face: "What's going on?"
"He Lingchuan, the man who bought the islands, seems to have created a lot of tricks." Lu Zhensheng continued to ask him, "Didn't Magistrate Liu mention it to you?"
"I have heard some rumors about catching wind and shadow, but I didn't take it seriously." Lu Qing'an sneered, "He also dispelled the evil spirit and eliminated the evil spirit. If a rich man had that kind of ability, where in the world would he not be able to go?
What are you doing here to visit the Yangshan Islands?"
"Didn't you ask someone to find out his roots?"
"We were sent, how could we come back so soon?" Lu Qing'an held up a soft-shell crab that was fried to a golden color and made a crunching sound when he gnawed it.
So crispy!
This molting crab is soft, so you don’t need to peel it with your hands, it will be fried in one bite. "Fu Guo is on the side of Bejia. He even takes a boat to drive back and forth. It takes at least half a year to go back and forth, not counting the fact that he is there to inquire about information.
time."
They wanted to find out the origin of He Lingchuan. It was not enough to send the bird demon back and forth. They needed someone to inquire and investigate on the spot.
"Besides, if he really had the ability to drive away evil spirits, why did he only open up a dozen islands?" Lu Qing'an acted calmly, "I see, he wants to create some gimmicks to make a name for himself, so that he can sell them later.
Crops grown on the island.”
"Is it a gimmick?" Lu Zhensheng admitted that this guess was very reasonable. In order to build publicity for himself, what can't a businessman do? "Then how did he conquer the pirates? In the past month, those pirates have not committed any more crimes.
