After being bound to the learning system in my mother's womb, I became the empress

Chapter 249
The ring finger should have been touched frequently, and the surface has become as moist as jade. There is a micro-carving of "a hidden dragon in the sea" on it.

Qianlong is in the sea... Lin Xi immediately thought of the Qianhai Gang, who had often dealt with him.

Why does Father Liu have this thumb ring in his hand?
The son who is the leader of the gang he was talking about, could he be referring to the leader of the Qianhai Gang?

But the leader of the Qianhai Gang is named Yin Qianhai, and he is no match for Liu Mugen.

However, the possibility that Yin Qianhai is a pseudonym cannot be ruled out.

Now that she discovered this suspicious thumb ring, Lin Xi couldn't ignore it. She intuitively felt that there was some secret hidden in it.

So she went to Liu Shuigan's house again, hypnotized him, and made some inquiries.

Just as she guessed, Liu Shuigan's second brother was indeed named Liu Mugen.

"My second brother left home many years ago and went out in search of adventure. There has been no news about him since then. He has never come back for so many years. He may be... gone."

Lin Xi took out a portrait.

Above is a middle-aged man in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, except for a pair of eyes as sharp and fierce as an eagle.

It was Yin Qianhai, the leader of the Qianhai Gang.

She drew it based on He Wentian's description.

Since she planned to destroy the Qianhai Gang and kill the gang leader, of course she had to know what this man looked like.

When Liu Shuigen saw the portrait, his pupils dilated a bit.

"Second brother?"

Although the person in the portrait looks much older than the second brother who left that year, he is indeed the second brother!

Liu Shuigan's voice confirmed Lin Xi's guess.

The leader of the Qianhai Gang is indeed Liu Mugen.

From a poor rural boy to the leader of a gang with thousands of people, this is a complete grassroots counterattack.

I'm afraid Liu Shuigan might have gotten the male lead script.

But one thing is very strange. After becoming prosperous, why did Liu Mugen not show up in public in Mingshui Village?

Instead, he only has private contact with his father, Father Liu?
After most people get rich, they inevitably want to return to their hometown in fine clothes, but Liu Mugen seems to be afraid of being known.

There must be something fishy in it.

Now that Father Liu is dead, Liu Mugen will come back to pay his respects when he finds out, right?

With this in mind, Lin Xi went to Liu's house again, woke Cao Ying up from her nightmare, and skillfully hypnotized people into contract.

"Have you seen the man in the portrait?"

Lin Xi took out the wish-fulfilling orb, the room was filled with light, and the portrait of Yin Qianhai in her hand also appeared in detail.

Cao Ying looked at it carefully and shook his head firmly, "I haven't seen it before."

Lin Xi: "When you see the person in the portrait from now on, hang a red ribbon on the tree in the yard."

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

She wanted to destroy the Qianhai Gang, and the easiest way was to kill the gang leader Yin Qianhai, and then take over the Qianhai Gang's power and supplies.

But how to kill is a problem.

What she originally thought was that when the matter at hand was over, she would take Xiao Jin into Yun Jingze and kill Yin Qianhai directly.

To others, the complex and changeable Yunjingze terrain is transparent to her.

Is she still afraid of getting lost at high altitude?

Besides, she also has Yun Jingze's map.

But if Yin Qianhai himself appeared in front of her, would she still need to run to the Qianhai Gang's lair?
It would be easier to just kill him here.

Cao Ying: "Yes, I wrote it down."

After thinking about it, Lin Xi wrote down another snack recipe and handed it to her.

"This is a recipe for stinky tofu. You can make it after some research and sell it. With this recipe, you will not only become rich in the future, but at least you will not have to worry about food and drink."

She never treats those who do things for her badly.

"Lin Erxi, what a coincidence." Erxi came out of Huixian Tower, and a young man jumped out of a carriage parked at the door and greeted him with a smile.

The young man is slender, has no Adam's apple, and has obvious piercings in his earlobes. At first glance, he looks like a boy disguised as a girl.

Erxi nodded politely to her, "Miss Zhu."

But I feel a little helpless in my heart, this Miss Zhu is too persistent.

She kept pestering him to learn cooking skills from him, but he knew in his heart that she actually wanted to find out the recipes from him.

Young Master Lin said hello and asked Brother Qin Lei from Fanlou to look after him.

With Brother Qin protecting him, those who wanted the recipe did not dare to do anything to him.

But in private, he often uses various tricks.

For example, this girl Zhu was sent by the owner of Deyue Tower, the rival of Huixian Tower.

These days, she often comes to him to increase her presence.

At first she wanted to use a honey trap on him, but after finding out that he didn't take the bait at all, she changed her route and disguised herself as a man, hoping to become his disciple.

They often have this kind of chance encounter that looks very intentional at first sight.

Er was overjoyed, but he couldn't really do anything to her, so he could only try to ignore her.

Zhu Min didn't care about his coldness and followed him, waving her fan.

"Lin Erxi, where are you going? I'll give you a ride."

Erxi: "Go home."

Zhu Min: "Your home is in Mingshui Village, Mapo Town, right? I'll let my boat take you back."

Erxi suddenly turned his head, his eyes sharp: "Are you investigating me?"

Zhu Min admitted it generously: "Yes, I have to know where my future master lives."

He even showed off: "Not only do I know where your family lives, but I also know how many people there are in your family, and there is a shop at home..."

The last sentence is: "Look at me, how much I care about you. Is my sincerity enough to become a disciple? Just accept me?"

Er Xi: "..."

How could a woman have such a generous temperament?

He was left speechless.

"Just give up, I won't accept a disciple."

Those recipes were taught to him by Xibao. How could he pass them on to others without Xibao's permission?

Even if Xibao allowed it, he didn't want to accept her as his disciple.

She is the daughter of the owner of Deyue Tower. If he teaches her cooking skills, isn't he helping his opponent to defeat his own family?
She didn't understand this obvious truth, but she still kept coming to pester him, which really gave him a headache.

Zhu Min didn't seem to understand what he said, and said to herself: "Sincerity is the key to success, I believe you will be moved by me one day!"

Er Xi: "..."

When he arrived at the pier, he watched helplessly as a ship full of guests sailed away.

The next boat will not leave until it is full of guests.

Erxi was a little anxious. If he waited, he would have to waste half a day. He originally only had one day off, so the time he could spend with his family was greatly shortened.

Zhu Min: "Take my boat. You don't have to wait. This way you can go back and see your family early."

Erxi finally agreed, "Thank you very much."

Zhu Min smiled and said: "You're welcome."

He thought she would take the opportunity to ask him to accept her as his disciple, but she didn't mention it at all.

After boarding the Zhu family's boat, Erxi looked back.

Zhu Min on the shore waved her hand at him and shouted to him regardless of the eyes of others: "I'm waiting for you to come back!"

Er Xi: "..."
