I am the Dragon King of the Well

Chapter 423: Here in my territory, you have to listen to me
Jing Xinghuai stood on the ferry, looking at the bustling and busy water transportation in the distance.

Everyone was as busy as insects and ants. As soon as some ships docked, countless coolies came forward to carry them. The entire Imperial Capital relied on these cargo ships for their supplies.

But there was a sigh in his heart.

After hundreds of years of expansion, water transportation has become more and more prosperous, but it has become increasingly difficult for the court to collect taxes.Everyone in the court colluded wantonly and constantly exploited the water transportation gap. The court lost millions of silver coins every year.

In order to pacify the barbarians in the north, the imperial court had insufficient funds from the treasury, so it had no choice but to increase taxes on local governments and plunder the people at the bottom.

But in fact, both the water transportation here and the official salt in the south have been interfered by countless silverfish.

These should have been the bulk of tax revenue, but now they only collect millions of taels of silver every year.

For a dynasty, this amount of money is pitiful.

He pressed tightly on the dragon-patterned sword slung around his waist, which was a gift from the emperor to facilitate him to do things conveniently in the local area.Once any problem is discovered, we have the right to deal with it first and then report it.

only……

"My lord, the boat is coming."

"I'll escort you up."

The one-armed young man looked at a large ship approaching in the distance and whispered.

Jing Xinghuai nodded, and after the plank was lowered, he stepped onto the ship.The soldiers of the Zhenfu Division also boarded the ship and were assigned to station in various places.

On the big ship, stood two middle-aged Taoists of almost the same height and appearance. They had stiff expressions and carried swords on their backs. Only when they saw Jing Xinghuai, they nodded slightly.

"These two are my uncles, Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai."

The one-armed young man and Jing Xinghuai introduced.

"Thank you both for traveling thousands of miles to protect Jing."

Jing Xinghuai bowed his hand, he already knew the identity of these two people before.

They come from the same sect as the one-armed young man Xu Chengqing, but their strength has already reached the A-level military level. Looking at the world, they are all top-notch masters.

Especially since the two are twins, they are naturally connected. Once they join forces, they can resist three or four masters of the same level, which is very powerful.

Almost as long as the Martial Saint doesn't come out, Jing Xinghuai can be kept safe.

After everyone got on board, the big ship put away its anchor and slowly headed south along the Xun River.

It is now approaching dusk, and the setting sun in the distance is about to set over the mountain. The afterglow is spreading in layers among the clouds, as if someone has painted it with bright paint.

Jing Xinghuai's mind was inexplicably reminded of Huang'ao Village, which he had passed through before preparing to pass the imperial examination.

"The sunset enters the east fence, and the refreshing air reaches the front mountain..."

He once composed a poem, but he got a dream from the well god.

That night, Jing Shen told him a lot of bizarre things. He said that there were countless political systems and vast knowledge in the world, but it shocked his worldview, as if he had entered an unprecedented realm.

After he woke up from his dream, he remembered everything he saw and heard that day.

During the exam, I extracted parts of what I saw that day and combined them with the saint's words to write a policy statement.The writing is bold and can even be said to be shocking.

But it happened that the examiner that time was Pei Tao, a leader in the literary world. This man was famous all over the world. Not only was he the number one scholar 20 years ago, he was also determined to reform. However, perhaps because he was too sharp and had been impeached too much, even the late emperor did not dare to use him. .

It was not until the current emperor came to power that he gradually recovered.

When Pei Tao saw this article, although he was slightly inferior in art and science, his intention was very high, far stronger than many people who carve out the meaning of classics.

He boldly hired Jing Xinghuai.

Then when he entered the Beijing Examination, Jing Xinghuai's results in the examination were not outstanding. It could even be said that he was ranked low among the 300 people who were hired.However, during the palace examination, his words were very popular with the emperor, and he was selected as the most popular one, ranking first.

It can be said that Jing Xinghuai's preaching that night played a crucial role in bringing Jing Xinghuai to where he is today.

However, a few days ago, he seemed to have met the Well God again on the Bashui River.

But the Jing Shen disliked him for wasting the lives of passers-by, so he cut off Xu Chengqing's arm and left in disappointment.

Although the Well God looks like a child, since he is a deity, he cannot be judged by his appearance.What's more, the other party has the kindness to preach to me and can be regarded as half of his master.

Now that he is disgusted by him, this makes Jing Xinghuai feel quite anxious.

All he wants now is to wait until he has made great achievements in the world according to the Jing Shen's teachings, and then go to Huang'ao Village to plead guilty.

By then, even if he gives up his official position, everything will be worth it.

His mind was gloomy and he thought about many things at once.

"Master, since you have entered the Xun River, you should worship the gods here so that you can find peace."

The boss of the ship stepped forward and shouted from a distance.

When Jing Xinghuai heard this, he smiled dumbly. He was an official of the imperial court, and he only worshiped heaven and earth with the imperial court. The gods in this place may not be as high as him in terms of rank.

Moreover, maybe there really are gods in this world, but if the gods can really manifest themselves at will, why would the world be like this?

He was about to ask the boat boss to retreat, but suddenly he saw the portrait clearly.

It was a boy with an ordinary face, a few whiskers on his lips, and a playful smile.

This god is not the well god, but who is he?

At this moment, his mind was shaken, but he suddenly felt that this was God's will.

"Who is this god?"

He turned to look at the ship boss and asked.

"Your Excellency, this is the Bashui River Bodhisattva, and he is also the god of water transportation. His name is: Grand Marshal, the General Secretary in charge of the world's water transportation."

When the ship boss mentioned the name of God, he even cautiously raised his hand.

Nowadays, who relies on water transportation for food does not know the name of this god.

Even the water bandits [Bitian League] who were running rampant water transport and ravaging the three states of Qing, Heng, and Yun were destroyed by it. If we only rely on the imperial navy, we don't know when it will end.

According to rumors, the imperial navy has not yet left Qingzhou, and is about to become a laughing stock in the world.

"Water transport...Is this the god who oversees water transport?"

"Yes, we all talked and joked in private that this god was newly appointed. I had never heard of this god's name half a month ago."

The ship boss replied calmly.

And Jing Xinghuai felt excited in his heart. Perhaps this great god saw him in a difficult situation, so he took action to help him.

After calming down, he stretched out his hand to twist a stick of incense and bowed respectfully in front of the statue a few times.

I just thought that this time it would go smoothly.

"Do you all want to worship together?"

After the ship boss saw Jing Xing pregnant with Wan Xiang, he asked the others again.

Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai looked cold and ignored him.

Xu Chengqing, on the other hand, seemed to recognize this spirit as the boy who had lost his arm last time on the Bashui River, and he reluctantly followed him and offered a stick of incense. "Oh, I said I couldn't sleep peacefully, but it turns out someone was talking about me from behind."

Just when everyone had finished worshiping and the ship boss was about to put away the portrait, a lazy and childish voice came from behind them.

Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai quickly held down their swords and were alert, but when they looked at a boy standing on the deck not far away, they seemed to have seen a ghost.

This man was less than three feet closer to them, but they didn't notice anything.

"Big... Grand Marshal? I pay homage to the Generalissimo who oversees the world's water transportation."

The boat boss looked at the boy in front of him, then looked at the portrait, and fell to his knees with a plop.

This is a living god. It is rare to see such an opportunity even if the ancestral tomb is exploded.

"No need to be too polite. There is no need for such feudal dross on the Cao River."

Qiu Ping waved his hand, but the ship boss seemed to be supported by a force and stood up straight.

The boat boss was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He scratched his head and scratched his head, but he didn't know what to do.

He was like a fanatical fanatic, but he didn't know that there was such a thing as a signature in this world, otherwise he would have asked Qiu Ping to sign his name.

"Jing Xinghuai, pay homage to the Lord."

Jing Xinghuai bowed to the end with a very low posture.

"You're welcome. I came here just to find you."

When Qiu Ping saw Jing Xinghuai, the smile on his face dropped.

Because he had previously taken a boat on Baishui as an ordinary person, Jing Xinghuai and others boarded his boat in order to escape pursuit.

But these people only care about escaping for their own lives and turn a blind eye to themselves.

Because he is a god, he is naturally not afraid of being chased.But if he was just an ordinary person at that time, he would be implicated by them and die on the spot.

Qiu Ping can understand the thoughts of these big shots. They usually weigh the pros and cons. Maybe they care about the well-being of the people in the world, but when it comes to a specific person, it doesn't matter.

How many people died is just a number.Everything is expendable as long as they can realize their great ambitions.

But Qiu Ping couldn't stand this.

He climbed up from a little loach at the bottom. Why can a random thought of these big shots become a snowflake that crushes them to death?
Little Loach is a common man, he has no balance and no vision.

All I know is that he wants to save this person, and he also wants to save that person. It is best for everyone to be harmonious and beautiful, and for everyone to be safe and sound.

"Please give me some guidance from the gods."

Jing Xinghuai's waist was slightly bent and he always remained respectful.

"I am responsible for protecting your safety during this trip, and you are responsible for killing people."

"I will kill all those who corrupt the water transportation and act recklessly."

Qiu Ping looked at Jing Xinghuai and spoke almost word for word.

Although his voice was soft, he was an immortal after all, and when heard by everyone, he was undoubtedly filled with murderous intent.

Little Loach thought that he didn't have much wisdom, and he couldn't figure out the messy entanglements.

But he knew that as long as all those who did bad things were killed, the world would be clear.

The killing made them tremble with fear, and the killing made them panic all day long. If they do bad things in the future, they will know to think twice before doing anything bad.

"The words of Zun Shen are exactly what Jing Mou thought."

"This three-foot emperor's sword is just for killing people."

Jing Xinghuai slightly pulled out half of the sword in his hand. The setting sun shone on it, and the red light seemed to be stained with blood.

Qiu Ping looked at Jing Xinghuai, his original dissatisfaction with the scholar dissipated a bit.

It seems that although this guy is incapable of restraining a chicken, he is not a pedantic person either.

Now that the water transport has been rotten to the core, the dilemma is slowly being solved, and I don’t know how long it will be delayed.

"You two old boys, don't be so nervous. This is my jurisdiction. How can I still let people run wild here?"

Qiu Ping turned his head and looked at the Yu brothers.

Yu Jinjiang and Yu Guanhai, however, don't know what to do. Their strength and cultivation will only be respected by others no matter where they are.Now I suddenly encountered a god with unfathomable strength, but I was a little confused.

"I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

"We haven't even left the imperial capital yet, so we can't wait to come here. This is totally disrespectful to Mr. Qiu."

Qiu Ping put his hand back, but suddenly, dozens of black figures emerged from the lush forests on both sides of the bank.

They flicked their sleeves, and hooks flew out of their sleeves, catching them on the side of the ship from all directions.With another sudden force, his body swayed towards the position of the big ship.

These people are so skilled that none of them are below level B.

There are three people in Class A and 26 people in Class B.

It seems that the power behind this water transport is really exaggerated, and so many masters were released in such a short period of time.

If these people were sent to the army, at worst they could serve as captains.

Qiu Ping had his hands behind his back. Although he said he wanted to protect Jing Xinghuai, he had no intention of taking action.

The two brothers of the Yu family looked at each other, and in an instant they flashed. The long swords in their hands stabbed in the air, cutting off all the ropes holding the sides of the ship.

Then the steps under their feet were as graceful as immortals, and the two figures almost overlapped. From a certain angle, they looked like the same person.

And suddenly, they stabbed with both hands, like a god with two heads and four arms.

The two people's backs were against each other, and there were no flaws in their bodies. They rushed directly into the place where the crowd was the largest. Every time the long sword in their hands stabbed, the blood of a man in black would spurt out and he died unexpectedly.

Xu Chengqing and a group of soldiers also shouted and surrounded Jing Xinghuai. They all opened their crossbows and raised their shields, like a giant iron hedgehog.

Since they were doing such dangerous things, of course they were well prepared.

Qiu Ping exclaimed on the sidelines. He had to say that although the high-level combat power of the Human Dynasty was a little weak, these grassroots forces were unique.

Perhaps because they often participated in fighting, their battle formation was much more elite than the naval force that Qiu Ping had previously commanded.

In the blink of an eye, the fighting between the two sides reached a fever pitch.

Although this group of men in black had one more Class A warrior than Jing Xinghuai's side, the Yu brothers' defense was impeccable, their cooperation and understanding were exceptional, and they were even more powerful than the other three.

Jing Xinghuai, on the other hand, was protected by the emperor's personal soldiers, and there was no leakage. Although the remaining men in black were numerous, they could not find any flaws in a short period of time.

Several people were even killed because of the crossbows of Zhenfusi soldiers.

Qiu Ping watched the excitement from the side and felt that the situation was under control, so he just looked at the quality of this group of people.

But at this moment, a sudden roar was heard from the shore.
