Chapter 210 Spirit Fish

"Hey, isn't that Ah Qing?"

"Come in and have a drink with our brothers?"

"Hahaha!"

A Qing, wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, ignored the nonsense of several drunkards and hurriedly walked into a drug store with his younger brother.

"Hey, this girl is also a poor person."

"My parents left early without telling me, and they still left such a burden."

"How can you live on a medicine jar?"

"Even a grown man might not be able to withstand such a cold weather. How can a little girl like her endure it?"

"As I said, if you want to help her, then quickly find a matchmaker to come to propose marriage."

"Don't tell me, this girl is very capable. She is a good woman who knows how to give birth and take care of the family."

"It's a pity that I brought a burden..."

While everyone in the store was talking, Ah Qing had already walked out of the drug store and took his younger brother to the fish stall.

The fish she brought had not been sold out yet, so she hurried here because the doctor at the medicine shop was a strange person, and the shop was sometimes open. She did not dare to delay, so she could only come to buy medicine first, and then go back to set up the stall.

However, as soon as I arrived at the fish stall, I saw a large circle of people surrounding the adjacent stall, and there were quarrels.

"What...is going on?"

Ah Qing looked around and didn't dare to go up directly. He could only ask a fishmonger he knew well.

"It seems that two groups of people have taken a fancy to a fish, and they are rushing to buy it without giving in to the other."

"a fish?"

"What fish?"

"I don't know."

Ah Qing was surprised, and everyone was even more curious. They stretched their necks and looked in, taking it seriously that it was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Only a few old fishmongers frowned, silently put away their stalls, and retreated without leaving a trace.

Ah Qing also came back to his senses, looked at the unsold fish on his stall, and looked at the circle of people arguing. He gritted his teeth, picked up his younger brother, and retreated to the corner of the street.

In the field, two groups of people surrounded the fish stall and were locked in a stalemate.

“I was the first to take a fancy to this fish.”

"It's yours if you like it first. Is there such a good thing in the world?"

"That's right, for the money we gave you first, the fish is ours!"

"Isn't that reasonable? You guys are so arrogant. Do you really think that we, Donglai Pavilion, are easy to bully?"

"So what about Donglai Pavilion? We at Nanfeng Pavilion are not vegetarians either."

"Hey, fish seller, who are you going to sell this fish to? Tell me!"

The two groups were in a stalemate, and finally turned their attention to the fishmonger.

Facing the cannibalistic looks from both sides, the fishmonger showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "You two gentlemen, how about you cut this fish open, and each of you two will get half of it... Oops!"

Before he finished speaking, someone slapped him to the ground with his backhand: "You bitch, how dare you sell fish to others after accepting my deposit!"

Seeing this, the other person immediately sneered: "What's the deposit? Don't use your power to bully others and intimidate the store."

After that, he asked the two clerks to stand up the fishmonger: "Don't be afraid, everyone makes the decision for you. Whoever you say you want to sell this fish to, then sell it to whomever you want. In broad daylight, is there anyone who dares to buy and sell it by force?" "

"Uncle, I..."

The fishmonger, half of his face swollen, looked at the two men who were staring at each other eagerly, not knowing how to respond.

Everyone around was very surprised when they saw this.

"Donglai Pavilion?"

"Nanfeng Tower?"

"Those are the two major restaurants in Jiangning Mansion."

"What kind of fish is so rare that two major restaurants can compete for it?"

"Is it Black Yaksha?"

"Stop joking, Black Yaksha will appear in this fish market?"

"That's right, with Lao Zhou's body, how is it possible to catch Black Yaksha?"

"I heard it was a carp, very ordinary, but for some reason, the stewards of the two major restaurants felt like they had seen a treasure."

"Could it be..."

Everyone was talking about it, and things got worse and worse.

At this moment...

"drive!"

"Get out of the way!"

There was a sound of horse hooves, and the ground shook.

Everyone looked back and saw a group of people rushing towards the fish market.

The leader is a woman, wearing a fiery red fox fur cloak, but she still can't hide her proud figure. She rides a maroon horse with red rabbit and rouge on her hip. She is elegant and noble, but also shows that she is heroic and heroic. , really stunningly beautiful.

Behind the woman, there were three more cavalry chasing after them. They were also wearing bright clothes and angry horses, and they had the aura of the rivers and lakes.

After a few rides, there were the infantry, hundreds of strong men, shouting in unison, which was equally shocking.

"It's the Flying Tiger Gang!"

"That one is..."

"The third young master of the Feihu Gang, how could he be following someone?"

Looking at the formation of the incoming people, everyone was frightened and a little curious.

Beside the fish stall, the two groups who were at loggerheads also turned around and bowed to the woman who had arrived on horseback.

"Meet Miss Li!"

"snort!"

The woman in red sat on the horse and looked at the two of them coldly: "The country has national laws, and families have family rules. When you are making trouble here, do you still have the royal laws of the court in your eyes?"

"This... I know I was wrong, so please forgive me, Miss Li!"

When the two of them heard this, they broke into a cold sweat and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Li Suhong looked down at the two of them with an indifferent expression: "For the sake of the Zhang and Li families, I won't care about you this time. If you do it again, don't blame me for being unkind!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"get out!"

The two of them left in embarrassment as if they had been granted amnesty.

Li Suhong then drove his horse forward and looked at the fishmonger who was at a loss: "Sell this fish to me."

After that, he took out a gold ingot from somewhere and threw it in front of the fishmonger.

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss!"

Although he didn't know the identity of the person, the fishmonger who was saved was still grateful and knelt on the ground to thank her repeatedly.

"Let's go!"

Li Suhong didn't say much, turned the horse's head, led the team to gallop away, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

It was like a gorgeous gust of wind, suddenly coming and suddenly leaving.

Ah Qing stood in the crowd, looking at the direction she left, a little demented and a little absent-minded.

Not only her, many people were like this, looking at Li Suhong who was walking away, as if looking at their own dreams.

But dreams are dreams after all, and dreams can never come true. In the end, they can only return to reality in despair.

Soon, everyone dispersed and everything was back to normal.

In the restaurant...

"Li Suhong, Miss Li!"

"Li family in Jiangning Prefecture!"

"I heard that there are three great families in Jiangning Prefecture, and the Li family is one of them, and the most powerful!"

"Even the Flying Tiger Gang was raised by the Li family!"

"Why would such a big shot come to the fish market?"

"What kind of fish was sold on that stall just now?"

"Donglai Pavilion and Nanfeng Tower wanted to rob it, and finally Miss Li gave an ingot of gold."

"I looked carefully, that ingot of silver was at least fifty taels."

"Except for the Black Night Demon, what fish is so valuable?"

"Could it be..."

After a round of discussion, the atmosphere changed inexplicably.

Several people stood up to pay the bill and hurriedly left the restaurant.

Inexplicably uneasy, the atmosphere was infectious, and the bustling restaurant was empty in a blink of an eye.

Xu Yang did not move, sitting on the side and glancing out the window.

In the fish market, people were still coming and going, but it was obviously a bit more hurried.

"Oh, you are all dreaming of getting rich, but how can you catch spiritual fish?"

At this time, someone in the tavern suddenly laughed disdainfully.

"Spirit fish?"

Xu Yang murmured, lowered his head, and wanted to use his magic power to inquire about the secrets of heaven, but soon dispersed it.

The art of heaven's secrets is not available in this world.

Because of the erosion of demonic energy, everything has demonic nature. Demonic energy has become the basic framework of this world like Yuanling.

If you want to inquire about the secrets of heaven, you must have the support of demonic energy, otherwise, you will be completely resisted by demonic energy.

In fact, even demon cultivators can hardly ask about the secrets of heaven at this time.

Because demonic energy pollutes the Yuanling of heaven and earth, it is also resisted by the Yuanling of heaven and earth.

The two forces consume each other, making the secrets of heaven chaotic.

This is a good thing, but also a bad thing.

He can't use the art of heaven's secrets, and no one else can use it.

Since you can't inquire about the secrets of heaven, you can only find out by yourself.

"How about drinking with me, old man?"

"This...isn't it bad?"

"Waiter, bring me a jar of top-quality daughter's red wine and some good dishes to go with the wine."

"Hehehe, little brother, you are here for the spirit fish too, right?"

"What spirit fish?"

"You don't know about spirit fish, that's right, this thing doesn't come out for decades...don't worry, let me tell you in detail."

After a while of boasting, the old man with a red nose lay on the table, and the person who invited the wine left a piece of silver and floated away.

After a while...

"Ding ding ding!"

The gongs and drums sounded, making a loud noise.

"Everyone, gather at the fish market entrance, the manager of the Flying Tiger Gang has something to say."

"Flying Tiger Gang?"

"What's the matter?"

"This..."

Everyone was confused, but still came to the fish market entrance honestly.

At the fish market entrance, a simple high platform had been built, and a wealthy middle-aged man stood on the platform.

"Fellow villagers, I have called you here today to discuss the spiritual fish in Wu Ze Lake."

"There is a kind of fish in Wu Ze Lake, called the spiritual fish, which is extremely valuable."

"There is no species of spiritual fish, only a few characteristics. I will distribute the atlas later, and every household can get one."

"This fish is a tribute and cannot be used privately. The government has ordered my Flying Tiger Gang to collect it. If you catch a spiritual fish, you can be exempted from taxes for three years and rewarded with ten taels of silver."

"Those who hide it privately are equivalent to stealing tribute. No matter how much, they will be sentenced to death."

"In addition In addition, the government has set up a "spiritual fish tax". Every household must hand in at least one spiritual fish as a tax before the beginning of spring, according to the number of people. Otherwise, they will be severely punished and all will be incorporated into the government's fishing fleet to catch spiritual fish. "

"From now on, Wuze Lake will be closed. All fishing boats must be registered and have a token to fish on the lake. My Flying Tiger Gang will set up a fleet to patrol day and night. Once a fishing boat is found to be fishing without registration, it will be treated as stealing spiritual fish. "

"..."

On the other side, outside the fish market, at the dock.

A large ship is docked and is transporting supplies.

At the bow, the cold wind is biting and the cloak is fluttering.

Looking at the vast Wuze Lake, Li Suhong looked indifferent and asked calmly: "What's going on?"

"Everything has been arranged. In addition to the original Wuze Lake fishermen, fishermen from other places will soon move here. The three thousand disciples of my Feihu Gang who are proficient in water are on the boat and will definitely capture the spirit fish and present it to the young lady."

The person behind him replied respectfully, and then hesitated again: "It is not difficult to control the fishermen, but the appearance of the spirit fish will definitely attract people from all sides to snatch it. I am afraid that the disciples in my gang are not the opponents of those Jianghu strongmen."

"This is not what you should worry about."

Li Suhong did not even turn his head: "Go and do what you should do, and those people will naturally be dealt with."

"Yes!"
