After that day, calm was restored. The people of the www.biquge.info clan received the monthly money ten days in advance, and the valves also got back their capital on time, and naturally praised Lu Xin, who was bound to practice his words, and said that he had good character, great ability, and responsibility, and it was really suitable to be a deacon of this degree. No one misses Lu Jian who did bad things anymore.

On the side of the Council of Elders, because of the mourning of Lu Jian, he was disgraced, and he couldn't help Lu Shang's side for a while, and he also died down for the time being, and there was no reappearance for a while.

As for Pei Valve and Xie Valve, they didn't react to what happened in Cuihe Garden. There was a lot of movement that night, and they couldn't hide it from the eyes and ears of the valves, but even if Pei Valve and Xie Valve knew about it, they didn't have the face to reason with Lu Valve at all, so they could only act as if nothing happened. As for whether Xie Min and Pei Yukou were taught a hard lesson behind the scenes, outsiders don't know.

helped Lu Xin sit firmly in the position of deacon of Duzhi, and Lu Yun also died down and returned to his home, Sanwei Hall, Xiaozhulin, and the life of three points and one line. and his three brothers turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and prepared for Dabi two months later.

This eventful season seems to have finally passed.

。

A month has passed in a blink of an eye, it is already the early winter, the flowers and trees in Luojing City are withering, the cold wind is rising, and the princes and nobles of Luobei have already used the earth dragon and the stove early, and they stay in the warm hall like spring to drink and have fun, and they do not feel the bitter cold at all.

Luonan's gate valve and ordinary people were reluctant to use charcoal so early, so they could only put cotton pants and cotton jackets on their bodies early, while cursing the thieves for why it was cold so early, and what should they do.

As for those who are still stranded in the capital, life is even more difficult. After the flood receded in autumn, most of the victims returned to their hometowns one after another, but some people coveted the prosperity of the capital and could enjoy the alms of various valves, and were reluctant to return. Unexpectedly, since the beginning of last month, the various valves have announced the successful completion of the disaster relief and closed down the porridge factories one after another. Ignore the remaining 18,000 victims.

These victims who still want to eat white food are too naïve. In the past, those gate valves opened factories to give porridge, in fact, they were not pitiful to them, but they were worried that there would be chaos in the capital, so they took out some food to stabilize the situation, and by the way, they also earned some fame. Now that most of the victims have left, there is no way to make any trouble with the remaining people, and the reputation of the various valves has been earned, how can it be possible to waste food on them again?

As a result, these victims were still wearing tattered clothes, cowering under the eaves of the neighborhood of Luonan, and some people had already frozen to death and starved to death in the winter.

In desperation, the victims could only try to save themselves, and the elderly and children carried broken bowls and walked the streets and alleys begging. Women and men went to the West Market to sell labor. They registered in the dental shop and then crouched in the corner, waiting for the employer to come and choose. The joy of being selected as a long-term worker finally doesn't have to worry about how to survive this winter. But most people can only do some part-time jobs intermittently, hungry and full, and life is very difficult.

Among these victims, there are also some people who like to work hard and are unwilling to die and work hard to be hungry. Go begging? They were seen as young and strong, and they refused to give charity. These people began to cheat, cheat, steal chickens and dogs. There is also the one who is more courageous and has greater ability, and he actually hit the idea to those princely tombs in the mountains and started to rob the tombs!

Since the beginning of winter, the number of gold and jade vessels received by the pawnshops in the capital has increased sharply, and they are all dead. The courtiers of those pawnshops were all sharp-eyed, and they could see at a glance that those things were burial items, and ninety percent of them were secretly dug up from the tombs in Pishan. However, the courtiers did not refuse to accept the stolen goods, but took advantage of the psychology of those foreign tomb robbers, who lacked channels to sell the stolen goods, and were eager to take money to make ends meet. There is simply no more profitable business than to go back and sell it again.

As a result, as soon as I saw the people who looked like disaster victims walking in, the guys, courtiers, and shopkeepers in the pawnshop all had their eyes shining, as if they saw the God of Wealth.

No, the people and pawnshops in the West Market, the thick curtain was opened, and a gray-haired man wearing a tattered jacket walked in a little crampedly.

If it were usual, Menzi would have been out of the way a long time ago. But at this moment, when he saw the man come in, Menzi helped him open the curtain as if nothing happened, and when he entered, Menzi looked at his back, grinned, and made a 'fat sheep' mouth shape at the guy opposite.

The guy nodded imperceptibly, but he straightened his face, looked at the man and said, "This, do you want to be or redeem?" ”

"When, when, when." The man stammered and clutched his chest, as if there was some great treasure hidden there.

"This way, please." The man led him to the court. The pawnshopkeeper sat behind the counter, which was nearly one person high, condescending through the fence, looking at the man with a sense of oppression, without saying a word.

The man was already a little cramped, and when he saw Chaofeng's posture, he was even more nervous and couldn't say anything: "Labor, labor, the villain has something, and he has something to do." ”

"Hmm." Chao Feng nodded, looking half-dead, refusing to say more than half a word.

The man became more and more depressed, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, he took out a rag bag from his arms, raised his hands high, put it on the counter with difficulty, and said with a begging look: "Look at it, how much can it be worth?" ”

"Hmm." Chao Feng snorted again, looked at the rag bag, and picked it open, only to see that inside was a palm-sized, quaint, purple-gold token-like object. Chao Feng squinted his eyes and looked at the front of the object, four seal characters, written 'Taiping Tianxia', surrounded by moire, although the age looks very old, but the color is still as bright as ever, as if it has just been forged.

Chao Feng stretched out his hand again and tried to pick up the object, but found that it was extremely heavy, and it was twice as heavy as gold of the same size. No wonder the man kept clutching his chest, because he was afraid that it would fall open and fall to the ground. Chao Feng held the object with both hands and turned it over to the back, but saw that the back was also engraved with four seal characters, saying 'Great Sage and Good Teacher'.

When Chao Feng looked at the object, the man didn't dare to breathe, and waited there with a worried face. After a while, Chao Feng finally withdrew his gaze, pushed the object in front of him, and said with a look of affection: "It's not gold, it's not jade, it's not silver, it's not copper, and the style is ugly, I'll give you two hundred dollars at most." ”

"What, it's only two hundred dollars?" The man's hopes were shattered, and he said in disbelief: "This object is heavier than gold, and a knife and axe can't hurt it in the slightest, it must be a treasure!" ”

"So what do you say, what is the way it came from? What's the trick? Chao Feng looked at the man with a sneering expression and said, "Please ask this guest officer for some advice." ”

"This ......" the man just mentioned the momentum, and he leaked to the end, just blindly said: "Give more, this thing is really valuable." But he couldn't say what the money was, and he didn't even dare to mention where it came from.

Seeing the man's embarrassed appearance, Chao Feng sneered sneering in his heart: "It's easy to deal with you tomb robbers. ’

The man kept begging, and Chao Feng pushed the object out again with an impatient face, and said in a muffled voice: "If the guest officer dies, it will be added to three hundred Wen at most, and if the guest officer is still not satisfied, he can only go to another house to see." ”

"Other families are also this money......" The man was already discouraged.

"Isn't that the end of it?" Chao Feng smiled proudly, looked at the man and said, "Should it be or not?" ”

"Dang......" The man nodded helplessly.

"To live or to die?" Chao Bong asked again.

"Death should be ......," the man said, bowing his head.

"Collect and put it into storage!" Chao Feng immediately sang a loud song, and at the same time issued a pawn ticket for the man to sign and draw, so as not to regret it.
