Nine hundred and twentieth chapters selling heads
Nanhu County is located in the middle of Ningzhou and Yizhou, and Chaotian Palace is at the edge of Yizhou, only hundreds of miles away from Nanhu County.
Near is not actually close, but it is indeed not far away.
Further south of Nanhu County is Pingman County and Yelang County. There are many border residents in these places, but the wind and rain are harmonious and the climate is very suitable. Nanhu County became a heavy grain storage area in the southwest area in the previous dynasty, and it was also an important fortress used to manage border residents.
The King of Southern Glory Xiao Jinyu had a bad reputation in the Southern Dynasty, so he did not have any other meaning after he was named king. However, he had a foundation in this place, but he lacked the struggle of many powerful people in Jiankang, and lived a very comfortable life.
Even the generals sent by the Zhongzhou Army to Yunnan County, Xiping County and Liangshui County, even if they had more troops than him, would come to curry favor with him as the prince.
Xiao Yan was originally protected, and in addition to stocking up food, the Nanhu County was actually not very important to the Southern Dynasties. Almost all the border tribes in this area governed their own rule, and forcibly restrained them was not good. What the Southern Dynasties were most worried about in recent years was the Northern Wei war, so Xiao Yan almost turned a blind eye to the political affairs of the southwestern border and had no requirements at all.
In this way, Xiao Jinyu was particularly leisurely.
If it weren't for the great changes in Jiankang in recent days, even the Empress Dowager was killed by the Demon Sect, and the huge hidden dangers of the Dangxiang Tiece Army, what Xiao Jinyu did every day would be nothing more than savoring the good tea sent by the counties around him, going to see a few brocade fish he raised, and then thinking about what to eat today, and who to find for fun in the afternoon and evening.
The border people have a scattered temperament, but the surrounding mountains and forests are abundant, so the several markets in Nanli County are quite popular. There are often some rare treasures in the mountains, and some border people even find spiritual medicines that are useful to practitioners. This also adds to their pleasure in finding bargains.
He also likes beauty. If he was in Jiankang, a prince and nobleman would always pay attention to his identity and do not go in ordinary flowers, streets, and alleys. Otherwise, if he was seen by many literati, he would definitely write a book. However, there were not many such literati in this kind of border area. If there were literati who dared not like him, he would have been silently chopped and fed the fish.
Many border women actually have delicate facial features and are very beautiful, and are bold and unrestrained about men and women than women elsewhere in the Southern Dynasty. In addition, they all like this prince, so there are much more flower wine restaurants and various flower shops in Nanlu County than in Jiankang. In this way, many wealthy customers and merchants in the surrounding prefectures and counties also come to Nanlu County from time to time. The strange mountain goods in the hands of those border people are sold at a better price. Several markets in Nanlu County have expanded again and again, and are very lively.
One of the markets is called "Prince of the King", which is only separated from the Nanhu Palace by the King of Nanhu Palace. At this time, it is the largest and most miscellaneous market in Nanhu County.
When the sun is midday, if it is in Jiankang, the morning markets of various markets will soon be closed, but the border residents in Nanling County will get up late. At this time, the morning market has just increased, and many shops selling breakfast and food have just opened, and the voices and the sound of water have gradually boiled.
In the past, Xiao Jinyu also took a few followers out, walked around and went to a teahouse to have tea. However, there were extremely important distinguished guests in the mansion these days, and Xiao Jinyu changed his habits and arranged the distinguished guests' diet and daily life carefully in the mansion.
"Go, today I opened the bucket of tea that Li Rong and County Magistrate Li gave me. It was the tangerine wooden barrel wrapped in gold paper in the tea room. Yesterday, the ham meat customers were not used to eating it. They went to the market to get a few pheasants, and they also saw a green-skinned four-legged snake. Don't be too big or medium-sized, but don't slaughter them in front of them like guests from those barbaric places. The meat is delicious, but customers from expensive places like them may not be ashamed of that look. They also made some yellow-robed fruits on the mountain to taste it."
Xiao Jinyu was holding a purple bamboo old hookah that he had just bought at the market not long ago, and was casually telling the manager in the garden to the manager of the house. At this moment, he heard loud shouts at the market outside, like a tsunami like a landslide.
"What's going on."
His Scarlet Prince seemed a little kind on weekdays, but his expression changed slightly at this moment, but he seemed to have changed his person instantly. A faint light flashed in his eyes, "I didn't tell those in charge that if there are distinguished guests these days, don't let people make noise. Send people to manage, don't disturb the guests' practice. If someone is disobedient, he will take them away quietly and drag them out to bury them."
The manager in charge of the house just bowed his head. He didn't care about the murder and burying the corpse. On the one hand, someone responded, and a gray shadow quickly flew out of the royal palace. In just dozens of breaths, there was a sound of breaking through the air and flying back.
A cultivator in gray clothes came not far in front of Xiao Jinyu, with a pale face and said, "Prince, someone is causing trouble."
Xiao Jinyu was no longer the way he usually eats, drinks and has fun. He listened to the sound outside that seemed to be unabated, and his eyebrows slowly raised, and there was an indescribable redness at the ends, "Didn't he drag it out and buried it if anyone didn't listen?"
"That man is extraordinary, even General An is no match for him."
The practitioner in gray clothes was very familiar with Xiao Jinyu's temperament. He didn't dare to talk nonsense at all. He kept saying: "The morning market was just about to open. A young man came to sell goods at the morning market, but he said he was selling heads and said he had twenty-one heads with him. Many people in the morning market naturally thought he was a fool and wanted to buy it. But the young man really took out a head from the package he brought and threw it in front of him. General An happened to eat in the morning market, went up to check, and then he started to fight, but he was directly broken and knelt in front of the man."
"Now the young man said that he would sell dead heads now, and he would sell living people later. The living person was a young man in brocade clothes. He got it from a Taoist temple. He also said that the young man called himself a little prince, which was very strange. He heard that the market in the city sells rare goods. The more strange it is, the higher the price. When I came back, I heard the young man say that his dead head is not an ordinary dead head, but a dead head of a practitioner." The practitioner in gray clothes just said that cold sweats were constantly left on his forehead. "I vaguely heard him say that there are still dead heads of a practitioner in the divine mind realm..."
"What!"
Xiao Jinyu's face changed several times, "Let Mr. Ma take a look, and don't rush to deal with this person, first look at the way this person is."
"Know."
The gray-clothed practitioner did not dare to neglect and hurriedly plundered out.
After a while, he heard a few muffled tremors outside like thunder. Xiao Jinyu felt a violent fluctuation of energy. He was anxious and didn't know what had happened. But after waiting for a while, he could not repay the gray-clothed practitioner. However, footsteps sounded behind him, but a young man and several practitioners wearing blue shirts walked over.
"Your Highness!"
When Xiao Jinyu saw the boy, he immediately bowed. He was anxious and angry.
There is no major event here at all, but something happened when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in his mansion.
The young man had only beautiful facial features, not particularly beautiful, but his expression was quiet, but he was born with a big-name demeanor. He just waved his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "King Nanlu, what happened outside? Why did there be such a violent fluctuation of energy, as if there were powerful practitioners fighting?"
"I….."
Xiao Jinyu was speechless for a moment. He felt depressed and wanted to say that he didn't know. But at this moment, his footsteps sounded and he rushed over. It was not the gray-clothed practitioner before, but a man in his fifties.
This man was not a practitioner in the royal palace, barefoot and radiating, looking like he was dressed as a border citizen.
"Prince!"
The man didn't have much etiquette. When he saw Xiao Jinyu, he immediately shouted, "Prince, someone is causing trouble and is selling the heads. Just now, Ma Gonggong and Moneygong went to interrogate him. Before he could say a few words, he was knocked down by that man."
"What's going on?"
Xiao Jinyu's face changed drastically, and several practitioners behind the boy also tightened their faces. One of the literati looked like a literati, with a white face and beardless man asked softly: "Horse worship... Prince, is it the horse Mingqiu horse worship in your mansion?"
Xiao Jinyu's face was stiff, his hands were shaking slightly, and he pulled the corners of his mouth, and finally said the word "yes".
When he heard him say the word "yes", the people who were originally calm and gentle all changed their faces. Several of them were already ready to go out for a look, but at this time they were all frozen in the local area.
Ma Mingqiu was a great worship that Xiao Jinyu only recruited last winter. At this time, Xiao Yinxiu from the Nanling Palace was out. Ma Mingqiu was the only divine realm in the royal palace. As a result, this divine realm of divine realm was defeated by people outside in the moment when his vitality was shaken?
Although the white-faced and beardless man who was just asked, he thought he was slightly stronger than Ma Mingqiu and Xiao Yinxiu, he was just a little abnormal in his divine mind realm, and it was impossible for him to defeat Ma Mingqiu so quickly.
At this moment, the first thing that flashed through his mind was the names of the Demon Sect and Chen Ziyun, but according to the exact news, one of the two people went north and the other seemed to be not far from Jiankang, so it was impossible to be here.
And what this person said about selling heads... it seems impossible for these two people to do anything weird.
"Mr. Ren, don't go out!"
Xiao Jinyu saw the cultivator in the blue shirt pondering, but he thought the other party was going to go out to check, so he shook his hand and said, "I have already given it specifically just now and asked them to go out to check it out. I told the man that he should never fight with that man, but an accident happened in a flash. I was afraid that the man would come to the royal palace, as if he was waiting for a rabbit."
Hearing such words, everyone present was stunned. Instead, the man dressed in a border resident who came to report the news nodded repeatedly.
The man was the leader of the market, with some figures under his command. He also helped the city's government troops manage the order of some markets. He looked at Xiao Jinyu and said, "Just just now, Ma Gongfeng and others went out. He just gave the salute. The young man was impatient and said, "If you don't buy a head, you will see what you want. Then he didn't know what to say, and he took action."
"Is it true that the head sells people?"
