wealthy lord

Chapter 42 Snatching prey
  Yucheng Prefecture Yin Qiu Guangri was dressed in black armor, with a goatee, temples reaching to his earlobes, and his hair tied back, looking majestic.

Behind him were his son Qiu Yi and a group of Yucheng Prefecture soldiers.

The officials immediately regained their seriousness, rode their horses to stand on both sides of the city gate, and shouted in unison: "See Mr. Fu Yin!!"

Qiu Guangri nodded and glanced at everyone.

But in the end, he looked at Lin Xuan, who was standing farthest away, and said in a deep voice: "Lin Xuan, right? Where do you work now?"

Lin Xuan was overjoyed and quickly dismounted, bowed to Qiu Guangri and said, "I have been ordered by the feudal lord to take up a post in Taoyuan Town! Please give me your advice!"

"Well... there is indeed a vacancy in Taoyuan Town! But... I have known you, the eldest elder of the Lin family, for many years. For his sake, you can work part-time as an escort in my house. What do you think?"

All the officials around were shocked, especially those who had just mocked Lin Xuan. They were sweating coldly.

I didn't expect that this bastard from the Lin family would be favored by Lord Fu Yin.

Lin Xuan gratefully glanced at Qiu Yi behind Qiu Guangri.

It turned out that due to Lin Xuan's status, he couldn't get in touch with Master Fu Yin, who was from the fourth grade, so he could only take the opportunity to please Qiu Yi, which led to today's scene.

Qiu Yi nodded secretly to him and said in a deep voice: "Lin Xuan, why don't you thank me quickly!"

Only then did Lin Xuan react. He kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fu Yin, for the promotion. I will definitely do my best!"

Don't underestimate the fact that the custodian is just a junior official, but he has entered the official class after all.

This is what Lin Xuan wants most. As long as he can get into the system, he can continue to give gifts in the future.

He originally chose to be a lord in Taoyuan Town because this fiefdom was extremely rich.

Moreover, he recently discovered a copper mine, which gave him great confidence.

As long as the time is right, he can use this copper mine to bribe Lord Fu Yin, and promotion will be a matter of course.

Qiu Guangri nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said: "Okay, it's almost time! Let's go!!"

Everyone immediately started shouting and followed Qiu Guangri, riding straight to the southern suburbs.

This jungle has long been transformed into a hunting ground by Qiu Guangri.

There are various wild animals inside, such as wild deer, hares, and even some powerful predators.

Last summer, Qiu Guangri shot and killed a tiger.

Because of this tiger skin, he also built a White Tiger Festival Hall in his house, which was specially used to discuss military affairs.

But in fact, the so-called military aircraft event is just a discussion on how to suppress bandits.

After all, there are many robbers hidden in Yucheng within a thousand miles.

Although everyone hunted together, Qiu Guangri was actually the only one performing.

No one dared to steal the limelight. Even if they shot a rabbit, they would have to flatter him for a long time.

Little did they know that in a secret place, Lin Yun and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Being able to find Master Fu Yin's hunting location so accurately also benefited from Zheng Li's understanding of the wild environment.

At this time, Ye Wanqing whispered: "Ms. sir, how are we going to get close to this mansion later?"

Lin Yun smiled slightly, turned to look at Zheng Li, and said, "How have you been practicing your marksmanship recently?"

Zheng Li rubbed his head in embarrassment and said: "Since I got Mr. Lin's approval, I have been practicing shooting every day and can effectively kill people within ten meters."

Because the bamboo gun sprays out shotguns, the range of the attack is very large and the power is not small.

Lin Yun nodded and said: "Okay! Keep an eye on me later. Whichever prey Master Fu Yin is targeting, you will hunt it!"

Zheng Li was shocked: "Sir, this...isn't this appropriate! If we offend Mr. Fu Yin, wouldn't we be subject to a lawsuit?"

Ye Wanqing couldn't help frowning and said: "Yes! This Qiu Guangri is a corrupt official! He loves to have fun. If you ruin his hunting mood, he will definitely anger us!" Lin Yun smiled and said: "You can shoot boldly, I guarantee that the government will Not only will Mr. Yin not blame you! Instead, he will invite us to be guests!"

Seeing that Lin Yun was so sure, Ye Wanqing probably guessed the reason.

Zheng Li placed the bamboo gun directly on his left forearm, which was more stable.

At this moment, Qiu Guangri discovered a leopard chewing the meat of a deer on a treetop not far away.

This made him very happy, and he quickly drew his bow and arrow, intending to kill him with one blow.

He hunts all year round and has very good shooting skills. He was awarded a prize when he accompanied the Holy Emperor on the autumn hunt, and his official career was launched.

The surrounding officials held their breath, fearing that for their own reasons, the arrow's aim would be disturbed.

Even Lin Xuan was secretly nervous.

However, for Qiu Guangri, the process was what he enjoyed most, so he was not in a hurry to shoot the arrow. He just narrowed one eye slightly and aimed at the leopard on the tree.

He struggled to pull the bowstring, and just as he was about to let go, a terrible roar suddenly came from deep in the jungle.

"Boom!!"

There was an explosion, and the leopard eating meat in the tree fell directly into the dense forest, covered in blood, as if it had been struck by lightning.

This scene surprised all the officials present.

The soldiers in charge of guarding all around rushed forward to protect Qiu Guangri in the middle.

Qiu Guangri frowned and said, "What was that explosion just now? Who killed the leopard?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

Lin Xuan and Qiu Yi looked at each other and felt a little familiar.

At this time, a burst of laughter came from deep in the jungle.

It was a good show arranged by Lin Yun.

Zheng Li pretended not to notice the government officials here, picked up the leopard carcass, and said with a smile: "Sir, such a big leopard, if you bring it into the city, you will definitely sell it for a good price!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Yun and Ye Wanqing also rode forward.

Looking at the leopard corpse that was bleeding all over, Lin Yun praised: "Your shooting skills have really improved a lot! You can kill him with one shot from twenty meters away!"

Zheng Li grinned, looking proud.

Although he knew that Lin Yun was acting for others to watch, it was true that he was very good at shooting.

This indirectly proves that his military qualities are excellent.

At this moment, an official next to Qiu Guangri shouted angrily: "How brave!! You madmen dare to snatch Lord Fu Yin's prey! What crime should you be punished for!"

Lin Yun and the others pretended to be frightened and quickly looked this way.

They saw Qiu Guangri surrounded in the middle, surrounded by soldiers and officials of all sizes.

Lin Yun and the others immediately got off their horses and said respectfully: "The common people didn't know that you were hunting here and disturbed you. Please forgive me!"

"Come here, pull these three people down and chop them!!"

The previous official wanted to show his loyalty to protect the Lord, while the other officials secretly cursed.

At this moment, you need to be thick-skinned.

But flattery depends on the occasion. Lin Xuan, who is as shrewd as a monkey, realized something was wrong the moment he saw his fourteenth brother.

Qiu Yi looked at Lin Xuan with deep meaning.
