He had resolved the matter of Beiling County.
Naturally, Lin Changsheng left.
At the same time.
A document entered Chang 'an Fortress.
Taiji Palace.
Li Shi Min was sitting on the throne, exuding the aura of an emperor. He was holding a secret letter in his hand, and he was smiling as he read it.
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
Li Shimin was happy to hear three consecutive good words. He had been worried about how to get a batch of silver because of the large internal expenses. He could neither increase taxes nor plunder.
He didn't expect Lin Changsheng to give him five million taels of silver in the blink of an eye.
It directly resolved his worries.
In a good mood, he put down the secret letter with anger."What a good provincial governor of the Xiao Family. He has complete control over the Beiling County. It's not a loss for him to be killed!”
The five million taels of silver was absolutely crucial.
Without the silver taels, he still had to ask how much he could kill a provincial governor. Now, he waved his hand and said,"Men, pass the order to the Ministry of Personnel Affairs. Send down an edict to appoint Zhang Cheng as the new governor of Beiling County!”
……
Lin Changsheng didn't know what had happened in Chang 'an, but he could roughly guess. The Beiling Prefecture Governor had been killed, so someone had to replace him. Zhang Chengcheng had no reason to reject his kind words.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
The Xiao family had a lot of money.
Under these circumstances, it was almost foolproof.
At the same time, he arrived at Jadesun Lake.
At the largest freshwater lake in the Jiangnan region, a huge lake appeared in his vision. However, this Jadesun Lake was a little strange. There was no sail.
It was empty.
There was nothing.
This was almost unnatural.
One had to know that where there was a lake, there would be fish, where there were fish, there would be fishermen, and where there were fishermen, there would be boats. This was without a doubt, and it was also a place where people lived.
He relied on the mountain to survive.
He relied on the water to eat.
It was a legacy that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.
However, there was something strange about it.
Xiao Wanyu frowned slightly. She could see that there were many villages around Jadesun Lake, but it was strange that no one went to fish in the lake.
There was no one around Jadesun Lake.
"A demon is causing trouble!" Xiao Wanyu said with certainty.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was a demon, he wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
Lin Changsheng narrowed his eyes and said,"Let's go down and understand the situation!"”
Jadesun Town.
It was famous because of Jadesun Lake.
Today, there were two young men in the town manor. When the mayor learned of their identities, he was even more shocked. He did not dare to hide anything and said,"Milord, the incident at Jadesun Lake was reported two years ago!”
"I haven't received a response yet!"
"Tell me in detail!"
At first, there was a water god in Jadesun Lake who liked to eat young boys and girls. He only needed to sacrifice once a year. This was easy. Jadesun Town was so big that it was easy to sacrifice two people a year.
Xiao Wanyu's pretty face turned cold.
Sacrificing people?
A child?
Lin Changsheng gestured for her to calm down and continue listening.
This went on for several hundred years. For generations, our Jadesun Town had to offer sacrifices. It wasn't just us, but the surrounding towns as well. After the sacrifices, the weather would be good, and there would be a year of peace.
Who knew?
Some time ago.
A monk, who claimed to be from the Tang of the East, came with a few strange people and killed the Water God of Jadesun Town.
He might as well not kill them.
After killing the old Water God, an even more terrifying monster came. As long as the boat went into the lake, it would definitely capsize. There were no survivors inside. They were all eaten or disappeared without a trace.
As a result, the people in the town did not dare to go into the lake.
That was fine.
Every once in a while, a flood would flow out of the Jadesun Lake, forming a torrent that washed away many people. They were kidnapped into the lake, and it was unknown if they were dead or alive. It could be said to be extremely cruel.
The young people from the nearby villages were scared away.
Only the old, weak, and sick could not leave and did not want to leave, so they stayed here.
"It should be a monster!" Xiao Wanyu said.
There was no need to doubt this. Most ghosts and monsters walked on land. Even if there were some in the lake, they would definitely not be able to display such might. Only demons could do it.
He just didn't know what level the monster was.
"Haven't you invited any capable people from the Imperial Court?”Lin Changsheng said.
"Yes!"
"Three days ago, a general from the imperial court came. He claimed to be the limit of a First Rated Warrior and was known as a Master.”
"Even we have heard of it!"
"At that time, Jadesun Town and the nearby villages were in an uproar. Countless people came to the lakeside to watch!”
"Who knows!"
The mayor shuddered in fear, and there was unconcealable fear in his eyes. The sail did not flip over, and it transformed all the way to the center of the lake under everyone's gaze.
Something had killed the Master's arms.
It was bloody.
He didn't resist either. It was as if he was imprisoned. He stood on the boat and watched as his skin was peeled off, his internal organs were torn apart, and his heart was dug out and eaten. It was truly terrifying.
From that day onwards.
Originally, there were Taoist masters who wanted to come over, but they were so scared that they fled at the sight of the wind and did not dare to approach the Jadesun Lake.
