An old farmer carried a hoe, caught up with a cow in front, and walked leisurely in front of Chen Fan!

This old peasant's dress is exactly the same as that of people in ancient times, but which dynasty it is, Chen Fan really doesn't know!

"Uncle, what kind of place is this?"

The old farmer squinted at Chen Fan, and when he saw that he was dressed strangely, he was so frightened that he took a few steps back!

"This is Mingcheng, Fanjia Village!"

The old farmer saw that Chen Fan had no malicious intent, and calmed down a lot, he looked at Chen Fan a little strangely, and then asked: "I have seen you in such a costume before, and there are many young disciples in the four major families of Mingcheng who will wear clothes like yours, but you should not be one of the disciples of the four major families!"

Chen Fan smiled slightly, he knew that in such a closed place, it was impossible to hide from these people who often stayed around here, and Chen Fan had no intention of hiding it!

"I broke in by accident, and I saw that this place was different from the outside, so I came to ask!"

The old farmer glanced around vigilantly, then came to Chen Fan's side and whispered: "This little brother, I don't think you are a bad person, where are you from, while they haven't found you yet, let's go back quickly, you can't stay here!"

"Uncle, you see that I'm not a bad person, why do you want to kick me out?"

Chen Fan had actually secretly guessed in his heart that there should be strict control over the outside world, otherwise there would be no such nervous expression of the old farmer!

"Young man, you don't know, we have heard that there were many people like you who came in from outside, but it didn't take long for them to be invited to Mingcheng to be guests, but none of them came back, and finally we all met their corpses in the nearby mountains!"

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he didn't expect the four major families in the old farmer's mouth to be so cruel!

The old farmer continued: "These people died very miserably, not only were they stripped of their clothes, but they were also very badly injured, and when we found them, their whole bodies were already stinking!"

Chen Fan secretly felt in his heart, he originally thought that these children of the Mingcheng family had always kept communicating with the outside world, but he didn't expect that the clothes they were wearing were actually ripped off from other people, no wonder Chen Fan felt that the clothes he was wearing were very familiar when he saw Lan Shaodong!

Looking back on it now, the clothes on his body should be the clothes worn by the dead crew members, and the clothes worn by the fifteen masters led by his men were all the clothes worn by fishermen!

"Young man, listen to my advice, if you want to go back, go back quickly, this is not the place where you stay, you see that people like us want to live, and they also need to pay a lot of rent every year, this is not a place where people can stay at all!"

Hearing the old farmer's complaint, Chen Fan felt a chill in his heart, it turned out that these families in Mingcheng relied on the ruthless exploitation of these poor people!

"Then why don't you resist, and do you just let them exploit you like this?"

Hearing Chen Fan's words, the old farmer panicked, and he hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to cover his mouth!

"Little brother, don't dare to talk nonsense!"

"Little brother, don't you know that in our place, every child's birth will be registered by the four major families, as long as the child has cultivation talent, all of them will be picked up by the four major families, and many civilian children are also cultivating hard in order to get ahead, in order to one day be able to enter the four major families!"

Chen Fan only understood at this time that although this Ming City is said to be a city, its scope is not very vast, and all of the four families that control Ming City are elite-level existences!

"So I said, young man, you better get out of here quickly, don't linger here!"

"Uncle, when you say that, I'm really going to take a look inside! Please show me the way into Mingcheng!"

This old man can see Chen Fan, extremely firm, so he will no longer hinder him, he just said earnestly: "Young man, don't be reckless in everything, if you encounter something that can't be done, just hurry up and run away! If you encounter anything inside, you can go to a person named Liu Zhe, he is the only cultivation genius in our village, and he is now practicing in the Song family in Mingcheng!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Chen Fan said goodbye to his uncle and walked all the way along the wide official road!

Chen Fan couldn't see it here at all, like other places, there were cultivators on the streets, and the most he saw was some farmers who were busy farming or some small businessmen doing business, and there were even fewer cultivators!

After walking forward for about half an hour, Chen Fan saw a towering city!

The city is all made of blue bricks, and at the gates of the city, a team of soldiers in bright armor is constantly patrolling!

And on the tower of the city gate, a big flag was inserted, and a big character was written on the flag: "Song!"

When Chen Fan passed by a farmhouse, he went to buy a suit from someone, and the old clothes they were wearing were replaced by clothes that were exactly the same as those of the people here!

When entering the city, the guards at the gate checked very carefully, and they did not relax the inspection because of the large number of people, and the people here were expressionless and indifferent, and they were being inspected step by step!

And Chen Fan is no exception, he quietly hid Qingtian in his clothes, this is his life-saving weapon, if it is found out, I am afraid it will cause a lot of trouble!

As for the other miscellaneous gadgets that Chen Fan was carrying, he packed them all and put them in a bag, hiding them on a big tree not far away!

"Since this Song family became the city lord, our life has become more and more difficult!"

A peddler whispered to a person next to him!

"Yes, who made us the Lan family!"

"Fortunately, the time for relief is coming soon, if this year is controlled by our Lan family, our life will be much better!"

After hearing these words, Chen Fan realized in his heart that there was also competition between the four major families of Mingcheng!

And it seems that their four major families should take turns to be the city lords, and the election they are talking about is just a formality!

"You, what are you doing in a daze?"

A soldier pushed Chen Fan, and Chen Fan only reacted at this time, it was already his turn to check!

Chen Fan hurriedly opened his arms and let the soldiers start to search their bodies!

"What are you doing in the city, a poor ghost, without a penny!"

The soldier searched for Chen Fan for a long time, slapped Chen Fan very angrily, and put Chen Fan in!
