The strong man is not weak in strength, although the quality of his willpower is not as condensed and strong as the Taoist Lian Zhong he met on Fangshui Street.
But with his astonishingly trained muscles and bones as if they were made of steel, a pair of 50,000 to 60,000 kilograms of natural divine power, and those weird black gloves with armor-piercing properties, his strength is by no means weak among the Ritsumei warriors.
Lin Mo estimated that his strength was probably at the second level of Li Ming, around the Five Zang Realm. However, his actual combat power was much stronger than what Huai Huai met back at the same level as He Guinian.
The fist is afraid of young people, coupled with the ferocious nature of the child, the two are fighting each other. When the white crane spreads its wings in the year of the return of the crane, it is the day of the death of the crane.
He is a master, but even in the Lin family, there are only a few people who can match him, which is a pity.
Lin Mo shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and continued to move forward.
There will be no more twists and turns. The strong man should be the strongest leader. After beating him to death, the remaining bandits dispersed.
After only running a few steps, he saw bone arrows shot from a distance. The arrows entered his body with a sound, and he fell to the ground without making any sound.
"Should everything be resolved?"
After checking for a week and finding nothing that had slipped through the net, Lin Mo asked softly.
"They are all dead, leaving three alive so that they can be interrogated when the time comes."
Lin Junyang came from a distance with an expressionless face, smelling of blood, and responded.
At this time, the whole courtyard was quiet, except for the chirping of birds and animals in the trees and the sound of insects scurrying in the corners, there was no other sound.
The snow started to fall at some point, mixing with the blood on the ground, which suppressed the smell of blood a lot.
Afterwards, the two began to deal with the aftermath.
The method is also rough, after all, there is not so much time.
First, they searched their bodies. There were dozens of people in the business, but not much property.
I don’t know whether it’s because they all care about the meat on their waists and believe in earning money today and spending it today, or what, but almost all of them are paupers, with nothing more than a few bottles of healing medicine on their bodies.
However, the strong man and the enchanting man surprised Lin Mo and the other two.
These two people actually have empty stone rings in their hands.
Normally speaking, even among the most determined warriors, only one in a hundred has an empty stone ring.
Because its material is empty stone, it can only be obtained in the realm, and if you want to get it, there is no other way except to exchange it for meritorious deeds.
This results in very few of them being circulated among the people, making them very precious.
"And this ring is a bit weird. I have never seen anything like this before. It was not made by Zhou Shengjun? Where did this group of people come from?"
Lin Junyang frowned and said.
Most of the empty stone rings circulating on the market were commissioned from the craftsman Zhou Sheng, because there are only a few forces that master the corresponding technology.
Apart from the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the Ouye family, the Gongshu family and other aristocratic weapon-making families mastered the core technology.
The official hollow stone ring has uniform specifications, is simple and elegant, and looks like a black stone ring.
The two empty stone rings that were collected from Li Shan and others were different in his hands.
On the ring surface are two small snakes, chasing each other and gnawing at them, and in the middle is a circle with small crooked seal characters engraved on it.
As he spoke, he also handed one to Lin Mo.
The two of them put their energy into it, and suddenly their expressions changed, and they looked at each other with uncontrollable horror in their eyes.
"Are we in big trouble?"
Lin Junyang was no longer as calm and calm as before, his face twitched, and finally he patted his face suddenly and asked in a low voice.
"I have no idea."
Lin Mo also shook his head, his expression blank.
The ring is very spacious, almost five or six feet long and wide.
There are various spiritual herbs, dried mountain animal meat, elixirs, and spiritual grains piled inside.
A rough estimate is that the spiritual grain alone contains more than two hundred stones, and the rare spiritual herbs are stored in boxes, with each box numbered there.
The most outrageous ones are elixirs, medicated wine from the altar, various bottles and jars, common ones like muscle-tonifying essential oils used in the physical realm, bone-strengthening powder, rare great medicines that seem to break through the realm, Xueling powder, Fuxuyi
Damage soup,
I even saw six pieces of crystal-like objects, filled with liquid that shimmered slightly, and were carefully stored in the middle.
"That's the spiritual source."
Lin Junyang said in a seductive voice.
"Each piece of spiritual source can create approximately three acres of spiritual land."
Lin Mo fell silent.
At this time, the six spiritual sources in the ring mean that eighteen acres of spiritual land can be created.
As far as he knew, since the spiritual field reconstruction was implemented, including the spiritual field experimental area jointly built by various forces outside Lin Yu City, the Lin family only has a total of more than 20 acres of spiritual field...
"It seems that we have made a lot of money this time."
Lin Mo suddenly smiled and said.
"Yes, I did make a lot of money." Lin Junyang also smiled, with a somewhat ugly smile.
Not to mention the backyard warehouse and the resources in the empty stone ring, the value of these two empty stone rings is much higher than all Lin's properties in Annan.
And with such a large amount of resources, the forces involved must be extraordinary.
"No matter what, the plan for now is to quickly inventory the goods and leave here. Although the noise caused just now is not big, it will inevitably be noticed by interested people." Lin Mo said.
"The bullock cart in the backyard warehouse..." Lin Junyang hesitated.
"With the few people we have now, how can we transport them all the way to Dayan Mountain?" Lin Mo said angrily.
"Pick up some precious ones and leave the rest here to attract attention. As for the corpses, let's deal with them all."
"OK."
Originally they only planned to deal with the aftermath roughly, but after seeing the resources in the Sky Stone Ring, in order to buy more time, the two of them had to become more serious.
Therefore, before leaving, they specially treated the body with corpse-dissolving water, and then used special incense to eliminate the smell of blood.
In this way, even if someone comes to investigate, although suspicion will arise, the person will not be heard and the body will not be found, so it can always be delayed for a while.
After everything was settled, the two of them took the three prisoners directly over the wall and quietly returned to their residence from another street.
An hour later.
Five people of different statures, who at first glance could have been disguised, wandered past Lin's Trading Company.
Then seeing that no one was paying attention, he opened the door with a normal expression and walked into the business one after another.
At this time, the business house was no longer as lively as in the past. Although the lights were brightly lit, it gave people a gloomy feeling.
There is also a strange smell permeating the air. It's not smelly, but it's not fragrant either. It makes people want to yawn.
"Mei Gu, the buyer you introduced doesn't look like someone who sincerely wants to do business? What's the background? We have to make the final payment today, so it's time to talk about it, right?"
Wei Liang now looked like a bearded man, with a large mole between his eyebrows and a few tufts of hair on it. His figure had also changed, becoming a hunchbacked man.
He looked at the environment in the hall and just touched the armchair lightly. With more than ten years of experience, he could tell at a glance that there had been no cleaning personnel in the past few days and whispered.
"Why are you anxious? I'm from a big power. I'm telling you, how can I do business and still need you to tell me? In the past few days, you haven't seen the warehouse full of bullock carts? Don't worry, your pension money is indispensable!
The contract is written in black and white, how can I still rely on you?"
The speaker was a silver-haired village girl in her sixties, but her voice was the same as Aunt Mei's, clear, lazy, and waxy.
Yes, these five people are none other than Wei Liang and his party.
In order to cover up their traces, they all chose to disguise themselves. But here today, it was to sell off the final balance of the property.
"I know the contract is here, I just said it out of habit,
The main reason is that someone came to my house this morning, and I suspected it was the Lin family, and I felt a little uneasy."
Wei Liang touched the sale contract in his arms that had been stamped by Zhou Shengjun's Yamen, feeling slightly reassured, he chuckled.
For this thing, I spent a lot of money and did a lot of research before I got it.
After all, Lin's property in Annan Town is a coveted piece of meat, but no one dares to be the first to take advantage of it. If they want to sell it, they will naturally get some profits.
But fortunately, even so, there is still money to be made.
And with this contract, no one can rely on it.
But when I remembered that the eyeliner had just reminded me that someone was coming to my door, my heart sank.
He suspected that someone from the Lin family was here.
"My family is the same."
At this time, Ding Nan also spoke.
The expressions of the remaining people changed instantly, they looked at each other, and the atmosphere became depressing for a moment.
Because they also received such news.
"What are you afraid of? After today's settlement, we can directly take the convoy to the county government and leave this ghost place. We don't care about anything. What does the Lin family and the Wang family have to do with us?"
Aunt Mei's expression changed, she said calmly, and then walked directly to the backyard.
She didn't want to continue such topics. People's fears would be contagious, and if these people resonated, they might all be angry with her.
The only thing we can do now is to get everyone's money first, and only then can we speak forcefully.
With this thought in mind, she walked faster, taking advantage of the familiar roads, and soon entered the backyard.
The courtyard is elegant. Snow is now piled on the landscape trees, and the small pond in the distance is covered with thin ice. Everything is fine.
It's just that everything is empty, except for the whistling of the wind, there's no one around.
The group of people looked around, looking for signs of people.
"In this winter, everyone is going to the backyard to drink and eat meat. Also, if it were me, I wouldn't want to go out in this weather." Mei Gu shook her head with a chuckle, and then stomped the ground accordingly.
"Hey! Why are there no doors or windows in this private room?"
Ding Nan, who rarely came to the business house, looked around and suddenly said.
Everyone heard the sound and looked around, and sure enough, there was no door or window in the private room in the back. Snow fell into the house with the wind, filling the ground with white.
"This... seems to have been through a big war."
Wei Liang frowned, knelt down, looked at the broken doors and windows, and whispered.
But how could this trading house experience a war?
Recalling that so far, no one has been seen, everyone feels something is wrong.
"I came to see you in the morning, and there were always people there, and I personally made an appointment for the visit. What's going on?" Mei Gu said in confusion, and then her eyebrows stood up.
"When I see him later, I have to spit on him hard, huh!"
With that said, continue moving forward.
However, my steps were not as steady as before, and my breathing became faster.
Everyone follows.
Going to the back, the ground also showed varying degrees of cracks, and even a large hole was missing in a pillar or beam.
a mess.
Finally, when I walked to the warehouse, the house was still empty and there was no one.
"Sister Mei, where is the person?"
Wei Liang walked to the front and took a look at the secret penthouse. There was still no one there. He felt a sigh of relief in his heart, as if he was holding back a fire. Then he felt confused and frightened, so he had to ask bitterly.
"Maybe... busy in the warehouse counting goods?"
Aunt Mei was no longer confident, so she whispered, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
"snort!"
Wei Liang glared at Gu Mei and pushed open the warehouse door.
At this time, the cattle carts were still parked in the warehouse, and the cattle snorted from time to time. When they saw Wei Liang and the others coming in, they looked at them curiously.
However, there are only cows and no people!
"With so much goods still there, it's impossible for people to leave! It's really impossible. If a monk can escape, how can he escape to the temple?"
Aunt Mei was completely panicked, but her words were still coherent and she analyzed.
"Yes, that's it. If we can't find anyone, we'll go directly to the Yamen for arbitration and get the store back. These goods can also be used as compensation, and we won't lose anything!"
The more she spoke, the more reasonable she felt, and the louder her voice became. She pointed at the dozens of oxcarts behind her, looking confident.
"But since we have no channels and no backers, how can we sell these goods?"
Wei Liang suddenly said quietly.
yes.
Nowadays, the world is becoming more and more chaotic. Not to mention the big thieves who sit on the road and set up roadblocks, the wild wild beasts of all kinds are enough to stop some people from traveling far away.
Without the Lin family as a backer, it means that the caravan is not protected by the Foreign Affairs Hall and the hunting team. And once there are no experts to guard it, it is afraid that it will encounter all kinds of troubles when it leaves the city.
What's even more frightening is that even the city is not safe. In the final analysis, it has no strength. No matter how valuable the goods are, it is still a hot potato. It is a crime to harbor a treasure!
Everyone was silent, but looked at Aunt Mei standing aside from time to time.
"It might be good if we sell it to the Ma family or the Feng family in the name of the Lin family... After all, as long as the Lin family is still in Dayan Mountain, they don't dare to go too far!"
Ding Nan was just a boy in his twenties, and was not as good as Wei Liang and others. He was angry, stepped forward, opened a bullock cart, looked at the herbs inside, but felt angry in his heart, and whispered to himself
Words.
The voice was not quiet, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear.
No one responded, but they all focused on Aunt Mei.
Although this is the truth, when the price was collected, everyone was as happy as a monkey, jumping up and down, why didn't you say anything?
Aunt Mei suddenly felt a little aggrieved, but as a person with rich experience, she naturally understood that it would be really bad if she remained silent now, so she said:
"This matter is indeed my problem. Let's do this. I will contact the big buyer again. The other party has paid so much deposit and the goods are in good condition and will be shipped out at any time. This can't be a joke, right?
He must have gone out for something,
As for making amends, I will give half of my money to everyone as compensation..."
"So, you can find Li Shan and the others?"
Before Aunt Mei finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by an indifferent voice.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and everyone turned around, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a snow-white coat appearing at the door.
He had eagle eyes, straight nose, protruding cheekbones, and a stern expression. He was looking at Wei Liang and his group with his hands behind his back, without any emotion in his eyes.
"Feng...Second Master Feng? My name is Wei Liang!"
Wei Liang saw the person clearly, and quickly pulled off the human skin mask on his face, revealing his original appearance, squeezed out an ugly smile, and whispered.
In the past, as the local head of Lin's Trading Company, he had met Feng Yuangang on behalf of Lin's firm, and the two had some friendship.
