My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 202 Chaos?

"Sigh... There's nothing we can do about it. That's how doing business here is."

The shark priest pretending to be the accountant comforted him, but looking at his still angry companion in front of him, he could only put down his pipe, blinked, and looked at the sparse flow of people outside before saying.

"If you want to be more open-minded, we will only go ashore for a few days, take the opportunity to enjoy the prosperity of the world, and it will pass after a while. In those days, the human beings who lived here and really relied on doing business to make a living were miserable? Running away continuously There’s no place to run!”

"Sigh, I really don't know how human beings can create such a brilliant civilization while enduring the exploitation of these carnivores——"

The shark priest sighed. It calculated the time and found that it was already Shen time. It picked up the door bolt and prepared to close the business early. Then it took the shark people to Xiaoling to wait for news from the quarry, and immediately started the sacrifice. ceremony.

As for why you want to go to Xiaoling, the reality is very simple. Every dragon vein node that can be maintained in the world has its own owner.

Although the dragon veins established by the Ming Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country have been shattered to the point of being completely irreparable.

But after the Dragon Vein collapsed, the various nodes were still absorbing the fat of all peoples, gathering the essence of the sun and the moon, and continuously flowing into the river towards Nanjing.

Most of the famous mountains and rivers with dragon veins in various places are either occupied by aristocratic families, or have fallen into the hands of evil demons, in order to intercept these precious spiritual insights of heaven and earth.

As the end point of the entire dragon vein system.

Every day, as the Yangtze River flows into Jinling City and then quickly disappears, the huge amount of sun and moon essence that seems to be swallowed by something makes the surrounding sea monsters all frightened.

This is why everyone has known for so many years that the northern court has been in decline for a long time, but except for Yuan Ting, who has a mortal enemy with the Ming Dynasty, no other forces have openly challenged the Ming court.

Before everyone understood what was buried in Xiaoling, no one dared to start a war easily.

According to the calculations of the sharks, the spirit of heaven and earth flows along the dragon veins of various places into the Yangtze River and flows eastward to the outlet. The essence of the sun and moon that has supported countless sea kings is probably less than one-tenth of what flows into the city of Nanjing, but this is still It can't help but make many foreigners feel doubtful.

What on earth requires such a huge amount of energy?

If Zhu Di hadn't conquered Nanjing, captured hundreds of officials and headed north, burned down the Forbidden City, and killed Emperor Jianwen at Xiaoling Mausoleum, there would have been no movement at all.

The previous hundred years of history have proven that Emperor Taizu buried in Xiaoling was indeed dead, unlike Emperor Taizong in Changling in the north who occasionally faked his corpse and appeared.

They may even suspect that in the 31st year of Hongwu, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty did not have a dragon to control the guests at all. Instead, he used some secret method to fake his death in the Xiaoling Mausoleum, accumulating strength and waiting to wake up at a specific time to settle everything.

Although it was just a joke, what exactly Ming Taizu left behind in Nanjing City still made the surrounding foreigners uneasy and uneasy, and they had scruples when the Ming court committed crimes.

"Closing so early - are there any of you doing this kind of business?"

A policeman not far away saw this and said.

The shark priest was about to close and lock the main door when two people, an old man and a young man, walked in one behind the other, followed by several officers in official uniforms.

The old man with a gray beard walking in front was hunky-backed and full of energy.

The middle-aged man behind him always had his eyes half-squinted, as if he was not awake. He had a sword and a token hanging on his waist, and he looked like he was from a public servant.

"..."

The manager of the shark shop looked at the two people in front of him who obviously had a lot of background, and knew that trouble was coming.

"It's really unlucky for these two gentlemen. I happened to have something to do at home today, so I closed the door a little early. Do you want to go somewhere else first?"

The shopkeeper Sharman laughed along with him. He didn't want to cause any trouble before the ceremony started and add difficulties to the plans of the princes.But unfortunately, the people in front of him obviously came with bad intentions.

"As the saying goes, if you don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! Closing the door so early... I'm afraid that it's not your fault. What's wrong with you, you're afraid that others will find out, and hide it from others?"

The two leaders did not speak. Behind them, Wang Wu, the leader of the Nanjing Allegro team, spoke first. Originally, the shark priest didn't pay attention, and just wanted to send this person away as soon as possible.

But the officer in front of him was so aggressive that he couldn't help but look him up and down carefully.

When he saw the appearance of this officer clearly, the shark priest suddenly felt an unknown fire in his heart.

OK OK!It was you who extorted money from me last time and packed up all my new tobacco and food, right?

Seeing this person, the shark priest's eyes flashed with a ruthless look, and he immediately changed his mind.

Thinking of the funds that he had embezzled through hard work, but were extorted by a few mortals. Since he would not be in Aurous Hill after today, it would be better to kill a few enemies to express his resentment.

"What this official said is true... I will treat you well now. You can take and use the items in the store as you like. This will be my apology for bumping into you."

The clerk named Wang Wu shivered for no apparent reason. He looked around and saw only the common people who were walking in a hurry and not wanting to get into trouble, and the store owner with a low eyebrow in front of him. He immediately put the doubts in his mind behind him.

Seeing the two superiors in front of him specially ordered to treat them well, he suddenly felt confident again. He immediately stepped forward and kicked open the door. Then he bent down and said to Peng Ze, Wang Zuo and Peng Ze, Wang Zuo behind him with a smile.

"Come here, my lord, just take whatever you like—"

Peng Ze looked normal. After all, he was forced to resign voluntarily and recuperated in Nanjing.

After many years, I still have a basic understanding of the real situation among the people.

However, as a guard of the palace, Wang Zuo was quickly selected into the Imperial Guard after following Zhu Houcong into the capital. He followed Zhu Houcong in battles all year round. Although he had seen a lot of various demons and evil spirits, what he saw in front of him was indeed the first time in his life. arrive.

At this time, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

These servants, who were supposed to be on the same level as prisoners and were recruited by the government to serve, dared to bully a common people working in the Imperial Household Department so openly.

Although Wang Zuo knew that the other party was a shark, these mortal officials obviously didn't know.

Moreover, this person can open a small shop in Jinling, where every inch of land is precious. Obviously, his net worth has surpassed that of the vast majority of people in this country.

The hierarchical system of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce may still be maintained in the north with a strong military atmosphere, but in the south it has long been reduced to empty talk with the continuous development of the economy.

But now, in Jinling, even these businessmen with small assets will be exploited by a small official in the imperial court. What kind of life did ordinary people, farmers, craftsmen and even refugees in the Ming Dynasty live in front of these prisoners? Wang Zuo really couldn't even think about how he would be despised and humiliated.

It is a pity that when the imperial court governs the world, it often attaches great importance to officials and despises officials.

I don’t know how the emperor would react when he entered Nanjing and saw all the chaos.

Thinking about it, as the sound of the shop door being slammed shut behind him came, Wang Zuo put his hand on the handle of the knife that came to his side.

Could these shark spies finally be tempted to take action?
