"His son is a coral collector just like Shi Chong. The two families have had a feud for a long time. In addition, Shi Chong escaped before. His arrest now is just a public revenge!"
After hearing this, Han Tianyu cursed loudly: "As a village chief, how can you arrest people randomly because of personal grudges?
The patriarch has already said that these people are being persecuted, but you are still arresting them for the crime that Yu Pingbo has convicted them of. Why, are you a remnant of Yu Pingbo?"
This is a serious crime of losing one's head. After hearing this, Gao Zhengping knelt down in horror and raised his head to plead: "Sir! Yu Pingbo and I have never met before. It is his order to arrest people!"
"Then what's your explanation for arresting people now?"
Han Tianyu asked angrily.
Gao Zhengping could only follow Lin Xiaodong's words and say: "Shi Chong and my son are not at odds. I just wanted to take the opportunity to express this. I am definitely not an accomplice of Yu Pingbo! Your Excellency is aware of this!"
Han Tianyu snorted coldly, looked at Lin Xiaodong, and said: "Such a narrow-minded bastard who doesn't know right from wrong and who arrests people if he disagrees with you is not worthy of being a village chief!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled slightly, lowered his head and raised his hands: "Master Han is wise!"
With a wave of his hand, Han Tianyu said coldly: "Take it away!"
"My lord, my lord!" Gao Zhengping was dragged away like a dead dog. Han Tianyu raised his hand to Lin Xiaodong and said with a smile: "Elder, I have heard of your great achievements in eradicating Yu Pingbo and protecting the clan leader.
It's a great honor to finally hear and see you today! Please take good care of me when we work together in the court in the future."
Lin Xiaodong smiled: "Of course!"
Han Tianyu also wanted to invite Lin Xiaodong back to Antai Island, but Lin Xiaodong refused on the pretext that he wanted to go back to see Shi Chong. Han Tianyu took Gao Zhengping back for interrogation, and found out that he had adopted an aunt, occupied coral fields and other corruption and perversion of the law.
, the village chief was relieved of his duties, and the residents of the island all clapped their hands in joy.
At dusk the next day, Lin Xiaodong returned to Chong'an Village.
"Green Pearl?
Brother Shi?"
Luzhu heard Lin Xiaodong's voice and jumped out overjoyed: "Brother Lin, you are back!"
Shi Chong and Xu Suyun also came out, and Shi Chong asked: "How?
You are an elder now, haven't you dealt with that Gao Zhengping severely?"
Lin Xiaodong replied: "As an elder, I have a false name and am from the human race. It is not easy for me to interfere in the affairs of the Sharks. However, Gao Zhengping's superior, Han Tianyu, took Gao Zhengping away. He cannot be the village chief anyway!"
"Oh! That's great!"
Luzhu cheered.
Shi Chong was also very happy: "This is great. Now that he is no longer the village chief, we can go back to the island at any time!"
"Yes, yes, I haven't finished moving the things on my island yet!"
Xu Suyun also said.
Lin Xiaodong sneered: "You can go back this time and see what he can do to you!"
When the villagers heard that Gao Zhengping had gone down, they all applauded and many said they wanted to go back to the island to have a look.
The matter came to an end, and Lin Xiaodong continued to practice hard.
That evening, with nothing to do, Lin Xiaodong went for a walk on the back mountain. He sat in front of Lan Ruo and Caicai's graves, looked up at the stars, and suddenly felt something in his heart: "Mars is strong, heaven is trapped, and the army is trapped."
"Pojun is my natal star, and I am trapped in the Martian Temple. It seems that if I am going to be wiped out, I will have to refine another treasure to deal with it."
So he went down the mountain, returned to his room, sat silently and meditated, and went to see Shi Chong early the next morning.
"Brother Shi, are you going to sell fish today?
Give me a ride."
"Okay, do you want to go to Jiangji City?
Going out again?"
"Well, I'm going to buy something."
Lin Xiaodong took Shi Chong's fishing cart to Jiangji City.
Jiangji City was densely populated and prosperous. Lin Xiaodong inquired about it and went to Ningrong Street where there were many jewelry buildings.
On Ningrong Street, the largest jewelry store is called Anfuji. It is right at the corner of the street. It has a three-story red building and red lanterns, which is very majestic.
After looking at the gate for a while, Lin Xiaodong walked into the store.
The first floor was full of large items that were difficult to carry, such as porcelain, jade, furniture, etc. Lin Xiaodong looked at them for a while and found nothing suitable.
At this time, a waiter named Uncle Jiang Yang came inside. He was in his early twenties, stooped and smiling, and asked Lin Xiaodong: "What do you want to see?"
When I walked up to him, I smelled the smell of fish on Lin Xiaodong and couldn't help but frown.
Lin Xiaodong didn't have a clear goal, so he could only say: "I'll just take a look."
Seeing that Lin Xiaodong didn't look like a rich man, Jiang Yangbo stepped aside and ignored him.
After walking around on the first floor, Lin Xiaodong didn't see anything suitable, so he walked towards the stairs, wanting to go up to the second floor to have a look.
When he reached the top of the stairs, Uncle Jiang Yang suddenly ran out, stretched out his hand to block him, and said with a smile: "Sir, there are so many good things on the first floor, don't you like any of them?"
Lin Xiaodong turned back and pointed at the jade rockery on the ground and said, "This piece of jade is good, but it's too big and it's inconvenient to use."
Seeing Lin Xiaodong pointing at the half-person-high jade rockery placed on the ground, Uncle Jiang Yang couldn't help curling his lips and cursing in his heart: "What the hell do you know?
Can you afford such a large piece of pure jade? What are you pretending to do here?"
"Sir, the higher you go up, the more precious and rare objects you find. I think you'd better take a look on the first floor and choose one!"
Uncle Jiang Yang had a smile on his face, and his meaning was obvious. Even if you look at the things upstairs, you can't afford them.
Lin Xiaodong grinned crookedly, reached into his pocket, took out a note, and slapped Uncle Jiang Yang on the chest.
Uncle Jiang Yang was photographed and took a step back. He picked up the note and looked at it. His eyes widened immediately. What Lin Xiaodong gave him was a cashier's check from Chase Bank, worth five thousand taels of gold! This was the first time Lin Xiaodong had seen him.
When I arrived at Zhang Lanyue, I earned money from selling stones in a jewelry store.
Holding the gold ticket and looking at the lamp, Jiang Yangbo raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaodong again, wondering: "Where does this fish seller get so much money?"
"Master, please wait a moment, I'll go ask our shopkeeper to come!"
Jiang Yangbo ran up to the third floor and knocked on the shopkeeper's door. A dignified and elegant woman came out, it was Lin Shuning, the proprietress of Anfuji.
Lin Shuning has a short round face and a plump body. She wears a pony topknot on her head. She wears a long red Tianxiang silk shawl, a black Ruyi-patterned gown underneath, a white floor-length skirt on the lower body, and a pair of ruby inlays hanging on her ears.
Gold earrings, golden bracelets on hands and feet, the whole person is like a piece of jewelry, sparkling.
"Shopkeeper, there was a man on the first floor. He smelled like fish. He didn't want to buy anything. He wanted to go up to the second floor. I stopped him and showed me a five-thousand-tael gold ticket from Chase Bank.
I don’t know if it’s true or not, so I came here to find you.”
Lin Shuning nodded lightly, her voice calm and reserved: "Okay, I'll go down and take a look."
After a while, Lin Shuning and Jiang Yangbo came down together. Lin Xiaodong looked over, and his eyes lit up. He thought that what came out would be a fat man with a big belly covered in robes, but he didn't expect that it was a beautiful woman.
