It's broken, and was picked up by a femme fatale

Suzhou is rich in silk, which is one of the local pillar industries.

Therefore, the Suzhou Weaving Bureau had three hundred armed tax collectors, whose combat power was stronger than that of the Suzhou city defense army.

When the "flying fire meteor" fell on the Suzhou prefectural compound, the head of the weaving bureau was terrified.

Because there were tens of thousands of pieces of silk stored in the prefect's warehouse.

Once a fire breaks out, the heads of all officials in Suzhou, big and small, will have to be moved.

So the supervisor came with a hundred tax collectors, lightly armed and beating gongs, to put out the fire.

In the prefectural compound, the initial chaos was quelled after Tang Yin's introduction.

Lu Yuan was delighted when he learned that the fat man "stuck" on the wall was the "culprit".

Isn't this a coincidence?
He stretched out his finger, poked the prefect's forehead and asked:
"You bastard, do you know who I am?"

The prefect was frightened to death and kept coughing up blood. It was estimated that he would not be able to hold on for much longer.

Lu Yuan didn't care whether he died or not, and said directly:

"I am the King of Beihai. You have captured my father-in-law and his family.
It's like a slap in my face. Tell me, how should we settle this account?"

The Suzhou prefect's eyes widened, his heart skipped a beat, and then his head slowly drooped down.

Lu Yuan quickly jumped to the side.

"Hey, everyone saw it. I didn't touch him. Don't try to scam me!"

Seeing that the prefect looked uneasy, Tang Yin stepped forward and sniffed his breath.

After a while, he grabbed the other person's wrist again.

Soon, there were results.

"Your Majesty, he is dead!"

Lu Yuan looked at the yamen runner kneeling beside him and asked, "Where is the coroner?"

Two yamen runners, one old and one young, in dark brown uniforms stood up.

"Your Majesty, we are..."

"Quick, check the cause of death!"

The coroner examined the body tremblingly.
When I opened my eyelids, they were bloodshot.

When he undressed, he saw tiny red dots on his chest.

"Your Majesty, the prefect died of shock, it was an accident."

Lu Yuan asked: "What do you mean? This guy has a congenital heart disease?"

Tang Yin explained: "Your Majesty, what they mean is that the prefect was frightened to death..."

Lu Yuan was stunned, then asked: "Bo Hu, am I that scary?"

Tang Yin chuckled and said:

"As the old saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door.

It seems that this prefect has done too many immoral things on a daily basis.
Therefore, even the heavens couldn't stand it and took him away! "

In fact, what he really wanted to say was:

My king, don’t you look at the divine bird in the yard? Who wouldn’t be afraid of it?
However, this trip is mainly to rescue Shen Elbow and Shen Jiaren.

"Your Majesty, please rescue the father-in-law and his family first."

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, come on, lead the way!"

The jailer in charge of the cell quickly stepped forward.
Pointing to the next yard, he said flatteringly: "My lord, this way please!"

Tang Yin asked, "Isn't he detained in the palace?"

The yamen runner quickly explained with a smile: "Mr. Shen has too many relatives.

I can only use the yard next door to temporarily detain him...

We have long admired the king's reputation and did not use torture instruments..."

The truth is, there are 264 people in the Shen family.
There were simply not so many torture instruments in the prefectural compound.

The prefect simply sent more people to watch over it.
As soon as the order from above arrives, he will be escorted to Beijing.

The "Shenling Law" stipulates that all major cases of treason,
A conviction can only be achieved after trial by the three judicial departments of the Ministry of Justice.

The yamen runners are all cunning people.

So, he wanted to curry favor with Lu Yuan and try to survive.

Many yamen runners despised this "spineless" man.
At the same time, I regretted why I didn’t think of such a good opportunity to perform.

In the courtyard next door, hundreds of people were sitting on the ground.

There were more than a dozen yamen runners and soldiers armed with swords and guns guarding the front and back doors.

The strange phenomenon in the sky just now, and the unusual movements in the prefect's compound,

This caused panic among the guards and prisoners.

Shen Elbow and Shen Jiaren were locked up in the room alone and could not see what was happening outside.

However, the news soon spread from outside.

"What? A meteor fell into the prefect's compound?"

Shen Elbow racked his brains but couldn't figure out what was going on.

The sweet and lovely Shen Jiaren actually had some strange thoughts in her panic.

She quietly asked her father: "Dad, is God punishing that bad prefect?"

Shen Elbow was afraid of being heard, so he quickly raised his finger:

"Hush! Speak softly, no one can hear you..."

The young Shen Jiaren is at the age when she loves to fantasize the most.

She couldn't help but lower her voice and asked:

"Dad, will there be a hero who will come and save our family?"

Shen Elbow sighed.

"No matter how great a hero he is,

There is no way they can be a rival to the imperial court...

My dear daughter, don't think about it.
It's all my fault that I was confused for a moment and caused you harm!"

At this time, someone brought the latest news again:
There was a sound of monster roaring in the prefectural compound, and the noise was very loud.

what?
Why are there still monsters?

Could it be a high-level practitioner?
Shen Elbow frowned, as if thinking about something.

His realm is only at the peak of Heavenly Master.

The spiritual power ripples of high-level practitioners cannot be detected at all.

In a world where humans and demons coexist, even if there are demon beasts with extraordinary talents,
Even after achieving great success in his cultivation, he would not confront the imperial court head-on.

Because the imperial court has millions of troops.
There are also training schools for practitioners, which produce a large number of practitioners every day.
You can't win by just relying on your own courage.

Of course, from time to time, there would be some lawless desperadoes who would attack various government offices.

Over the years, government offices at all levels have been trained on the procedures for dealing with emergencies.

However, Shen Elbow's character, which he had developed through years of business,
I have always believed in the concept of "harmony brings wealth" and treat people kindly everywhere.

This led him to keep a distance from people in the underworld.

But Shen Jiaren is different.

She attended a private school for girls and had several close friends.

When we have nothing to do at a gathering, the most talked about thing is

Most of them are legends about heroes and beauties, talented men and beautiful women.

Of course, being able to enter the palace and serve the emperor is also one of the hot topics.

Before this, when she was still under 15 years old, she was able to participate in the topic with a detached attitude.

Her choice was to spend the rest of her life with the greatest hero.

Her girlfriends gave her advice.

For example, the General of Jinling, the General of Liaodong, and the generals in the court, etc.

However, as far as she knew,
These military generals with outstanding military achievements were at least fifty or sixty years old.

In fact, many people are older than Shen Elbow, which makes her not interested at all.

Her best friends advised her that the most important thing was to be the general's wife and nothing else mattered.

After all, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

One day, in order to improve my cultural accomplishment,

Shen Elbow invited four talented men to his house to drink and write poetry.

Coincidentally, Shen Jiaren and her bestie were enjoying the flowers in the garden.

Tang Yin's glance was enough to make one gasp at his beauty.

He returned home from Shen's house.

In just one stick of incense, he completed a painting of "Ladies" that has been passed down through the ages.

Finally, this painting came into Lu Yuan's hands.
It even led to a marriage.

But no one expected that this seemingly beautiful marriage would actually bring disaster to the Shen family.

Of course, at first, after receiving Tang Yin's letter,

Shen Elbow specifically sought the opinion of his beloved daughter, Shen Jiaren.

Because Tang Yin did not dare to paint Lu Yuan's portrait, he could only describe him in words.

That would naturally be a scene of flowers in full bloom, perfect and beautiful.

Shen Jiaren naturally wouldn't believe it all. How could there be such a perfect man in the world?

Everything the matchmaker says is a lie.

At least a 50% discount!
But even if it was half off, Lu Yuan's image was still pretty good. Moreover, the other party's age and strength were beyond doubt.

At a young age, he defeated the Jurchen and Mongolian tribes and captured the Maozi Beihai City.
Take over the vast land between Taining and Beihai.

In particular, he defeated the emperor's 100,000 guards in one fell swoop and became the leader of the three major rebel forces.

No matter how you look at it, Lu Yuan is a "dragon crossing the river" type of hero.

However, it was precisely these achievements and honors of Lu Yuan that made Shen Jiaren so troubled.

why?
Because Shen Elbow repeatedly told his daughter not to leak the secret.

So, she couldn't ask for the opinions of her besties.

Finally, after Shen Elbow's persuasion, he nodded and agreed to the marriage.

My father has only two opinions.
A young hero with extraordinary literary and martial arts skills is rare to come by.

2. As the leader of the four great talents, Tang Yin's character is guaranteed.
Moreover, he has a close relationship with the Shen family and will not cheat Miss Shen.

Parents' orders, matchmaker's words,

Shen Jiaren's marriage was settled.

However, a month later, the Suzhou government officials,
The prefect actually locked them all up and confiscated their property.

As a result, the billionaire Shen Elbowzi became a prisoner and suddenly became penniless.

The Shen family fell from the clouds to a cesspool, the gap was so huge that it was simply impossible to describe it any further.

The whole family was imprisoned in a small yard. The adults quarreled and the children cried.
People crowded together, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping, all in the yard.

They also had to endure intimidation, ridicule and mockery from the yamen runners.

The tragic situation can be imagined.

If Shen Elbow had not been so filial to the prefectural government,

I am afraid that their whole family will face even worse treatment.

Because of despair,
When Shen Jiaren heard the strange sign from heaven, she longed to be rescued by a hero.

I never expected that what came was actually a vicious monster...

Ugh!
The heroes and beauties mentioned in books are all lies!

The fire of hope that she had just ignited was once again ruthlessly extinguished.

Just when I was feeling depressed, I suddenly heard a scream outside.

Yeah!

Could it be that a monster is coming to kill us?
How to do?
Will they eat people?
Where are the officers and soldiers?
Why haven't you come to rescue us yet?

She grabbed the corner of Shen Zhouzi's clothes and said tremblingly, "Dad, I'm scared!"

After all, Shen Elbow is at the pinnacle of Heavenly Master realm, with sharp ears and eyes.

I could vaguely hear someone talking, and one of the voices was familiar...

Could it be Prefect Tang?

impossible?

Isn’t he in Taining?
It will take at least twenty days or a month to get here, right?
But the voice became more and more real.

That’s right, it was really Tang Yin, and Zhu Zhishan and others.

How did they come?

Are they hiding from monsters?
That’s not right, why didn’t the bailiffs stop them... It’s so weird!

Hearing that his daughter was scared, Shen Elbow quickly comforted her:
"Don't be afraid! I heard your uncle Tang's voice.

Maybe he is here to rescue us... Daddy is here, don't be afraid, dear girl!"

Suddenly, Tang Yin's voice shouted:

"Lao Shen, Lao Shen, we are here to save you!"

Wow!
It was like the sound of nature. Shen Elbow stood up excitedly.

He rushed to the door and shouted, "Master Tang, I'm here!"

Soon, led by the yamen runners, Lu Yuan, Tang Yin and his party arrived at the backyard.

The bailiff tactfully opened the door, and Shen Elbow ran out holding his daughter Shen Jiaren.

When Shen Elbow saw Lu Yuan, he did not recognize him.

But intuitively, he vaguely felt that it was probably King Lu Yuan of the North Sea.

"Thank you very much, Lord Tang, for rescuing me! This is like giving me a new life. I am deeply grateful!"

Tang Yin said with a smile: "Old Shen,

I don't have the ability to save you. The one who saved you was the King of the North Sea...

Come and meet the King of the North Sea!"

Shen Elbow was overjoyed and hurried over to express his gratitude.

Lu Yuan smiled and held his father-in-law back, preventing him from performing the formal ceremony.

"Mr. Shen is an elder, it's not appropriate."

Tang Yin was a wonderful man, and he immediately said, "Old Shen,

It's good that the intention is there. We are all family after all. The best outcome is that you are all fine!"

He looked at Shen Jiaren and winked at Shen Ezon.

The meaning is obvious: the King of Beihai traveled thousands of miles for his wife.

Why don't you let the young couple meet each other?
Shen Elbow understood what was going on, and immediately took his daughter to Lu Yuan.

"My lord, this is the beautiful dog girl, who has always admired you.
Just now he said that there was a miracle in the sky, that a great hero had come to rescue us, we really are in sync!"

Shen Jiaren had been paying attention to Lu Yuan just now, mainly because he was so handsome!
Stronger and more handsome than the heroes and talented men in the paintings!
Oh, there really wasn’t any exaggeration in Uncle Tang’s letter… hehe!
Besides, no matter how young she is,
I also know that Lu Yuan ran so far to rescue, which clearly shows that he thinks he is very important.

This made her feel waves of sweetness and happiness in her heart.

It is easy to find priceless treasures, but it is rare to find a lover!
A brief glance seemed like a thousand years...

Two blushes suddenly appeared on her face, like blooming hibiscus flowers.

When her father took her to see Lu Yuan, she felt ashamed of herself.

After many days of prison life,

As a result, she was covered in dirt and looked awful, and could be said to be in an extremely miserable state.

She bowed her head, knelt down and said calmly:
"I, the commoner Shen Jiaren, pay my respects to the King of Beihai!

I will never forget your life-saving grace!"

In fact, Lu Yuan was very satisfied with Shen Jiaren.

After experiencing the disaster, the little girl remained calm and composed.
Despite her embarrassing image, her every move and gesture still exudes the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

This daughter-in-law is not a flower in a greenhouse.

In particular, his neither arrogant nor humble manner shows that he is not a person who curries favor with the powerful.

Not bad! Really good!

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "It's just a piece of cake, don't make it so serious.

Well, you have suffered a lot these days.
Let's go home and have a good rest first!"

His gentle words, considerateness and attentiveness moved Shen Jiaren so much that she almost cried.

Tang Yin laughed and said, "King Beihai is right.
No matter what, let’s go home first! Let’s go!”

Unexpectedly, Director Hu from the Weaving House arrived with the tax collectors.
When he saw the huge divine bird in the yard, he screamed in fear.

"Monster! Hurry, ask for help, ask for help from Nanzhili!
No, gather the tax collectors and city defense troops first!
Ah, someone, come and check the warehouse..."

In short, this guy is talking incoherently and can't even speak.

At this time, Lu Yuan, along with the four talented men and the Shen family, calmly walked out of the prefectural compound.

The supervisor didn't know who Lu Yuan was, but he knew Shen Elbow and the Four Talents.

Surprised again.

"Hey! You... Shen Elbow, you dare to escape from prison...

Tang Yin...didn't you join the rebels...

What’s going on?

When Lu Yuan stepped forward, the supervisor was terrified and shouted in horror:
"Someone, take him down!"

Without waiting for the tax collector to approach, Lu Yuan quickly came in front of the supervisor.
Grabbing his collar with one hand, he asked coldly, "Do you want to die or live?"

"Help... They are rebelling, they are rebelling!"

As soon as Lu Yuan let go, the supervisor fell to the ground, and Lu Yuan stepped on his chest.

"Yes, I am the King of the North Sea, Lu Yuan.

Not only will I rebel against Emperor Linggui, but I will also protect the Shen family!

Go back and tell that dog emperor that in two days,

I will go to the Imperial City and kill it!"

After saying that, he kicked the supervisor casually, causing him to roll on the ground.
The supervisor rolled to the corner, his skin torn and flesh exposed, and wailed in pain.

Most of the tax collectors are practitioners.
Everyone was stunned by Lu Yuan's amazing performance.

Even though the supervisor was treated like a pig or a dog by Lu Yuan, he did not dare to step forward.

What's the point of living with just a few taels of silver every month?
Anyway, even if the supervisor investigates afterwards, the law cannot hold everyone responsible, and he can't kill us all.

Otherwise, who will collect taxes for him?
So, more than a hundred tax collectors watched Lu Yuan and the Shen family leave in a swagger.

What’s even more exaggerated is that the immortal bird took off into the sky and circled above Lu Yuan.

Such a big guy, it’s obvious that he’s not easy to mess with.

My dear, luckily I was smart and didn't do it. (End of this chapter)
