One man dared to take the lead, and the others raised their hands, and these people also knew some secrets. The first person said that he was not right, and the second person raised his hand to add. As for you, let's talk about it first. I just want to know, what does this Yuan Ren want to do? Yuan Tai chose the first person to answer.

The man slowly got up and nodded to Yuan Tai and said politely, "Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity." I really didn't dare to say it just now, because the boss was still alive. Now that he's dead, there's no scruples. If he lives, if someone speaks ill of him behind his back, we will suffer when you are gone. ”

The man stood up a little nervously, and he looked around again, making sure that there was no doubt before he dared to continue: "Now that the man is dead, we dare to say anything about him." Now among these survivors, there are no cronies of his family, so I am even more emboldened. Why I'm the first to raise my hand, because I'm the one who has the most say in this matter. I was the first to work with their family here, and then I made a small mistake and was assigned here to work with Yuan Ren. ”

"You're in a league with him?" Yuan Tai asked.

"Sir! You misunderstood. The man explained in horror, "At first, I was serving the Yuan family, just a small family. His family has a large area of land in the King's District, and its power is indeed huge. It's just that this Yuan Ren is just as unpopular as his father and grandfather, and such a huge family can't borrow any light, so they can only live here. I can't be expelled from the King's District, I can only hang out with a poor guy here, or who wants to come to such a place. ”

"Mother-in-law's mother-in-law says the key!" Yuan Tai interrupted the man's speech.

"Yes!" This man sorted out his thoughts for a while, and said with a very cautious attitude, "I was assigned, and Yuan Ren asked me to help him do this." It's just that my physique is too thin, and I can't participate in these things. Capturing slaves is not like writing and drawing, you have to really fight with others. My health is not good, I don't know any martial arts, so I can only watch the wind. In the end, he found someone else to help him, and I was here as a young man. Don't look at it as a mess, I know a lot of things. Basically, I say that I am the first-hand material, and I don't need to add it to anyone else. ”

The man paused at this point, looking around. This time he didn't have the same nervousness as before, and from his expression, it looked like he was praying or longing for something. Yuan Tai understood what this kind of person wanted, "Didn't you say that there are no Yuan Ren's cronies here, what else are you looking for?" If you point it out, I'll get him out. Do you want to talk about any conditions, you haven't made any merits and you still want to talk to me about conditions. Say it! ”

"I don't say it, you know what I want to do, it's amazing." This person looked at Yuan Tai tremblingly and said, "My name is Dongguo, and I really want to talk to you, sir, about a condition." I also know the way your sand cavalry behaves, and you will always leave no trouble. All I want is one thing, when you're done cleaning up here, you'll be able to let us neutral men, women, and children go. Neutral residents, it's really helpless to live in Stone Man City. Anyone who has a way to survive will not stay here to help the abuse, and although the middle-class residents are not involved in any criminal activities, this kind of indifference is also a crime. ”

"We're not Sand Cavalry now, we're separated from them now. What he did before has nothing to do with us. Lao Gao explained: "So we won't kill you, and we won't do anything with these people." If you really want to kill you, do you still need to gather together? Now I just want to know what this Yuan Ren and their family did. You just said that the Yuan family has land in the king's district, then they are big households, and their origins should not be ordinary. ”

"Sir, you've asked a bunch of questions, and you don't know how to answer that one first, so we'll tell you the most important things." Dongguo mustered the courage to say: "If you can really release the people here as you said, this is the best." I can also rest assured that it is too hot to talk under this sun, or let's go into the house and talk. ”

The innkeeper invited them indoors, wanting to play with a turtle in an urn, and almost lost his life. "Excuse me, especially when you come into the house to chat." Yuantai said directly: "You also saw it just now, when you entered a house, you almost reimbursed a few of us, and the others all went to the simple tent to take care of it, and you went to the convoy with us." ”

Yuan Tai said this, which made Dong Guo frightened. "Sir, I really don't realize that." Dong Guo hurriedly explained, "I just want us to change places to chat first, I really don't want to kill you." ”

Yuan Tai didn't listen to Dong Guo's explanation, and dragged the thin Dong Guo towards the command. Back in the convoy, Luo Xingxing was treating some of the soldiers left behind in the convoy. Luo Xingxing saw that Dongguo was also coming, and stepped forward to say hello. Luo Xingxing didn't know what was going on, and he immediately stepped forward to intercede for Dongguo.

"Doctor Luo, don't worry, we won't embarrass him. Just bring him over to find out something. Yuan Tai explained, "Doctor Luo, if you want to hear it, come and listen to it." ”

Changing to a quiet place, Dong Guo began to tell about the Yuan family. The Yuan family was originally just a big family, but later they recruited troops and horses to do the bandit business, and after they were rich and powerful, they occupied the entire Shiren City. Their family ruled here for forty or fifty years, and when the empire was established and the surrounding countries were completely wiped out of bandits, their family's power was wiped out in one fell swoop. Later, I really had no choice but to give up this promising career.

In the end, the main power of the Yuan family all moved into the royal district of the empire, and proclaimed the emperor in the royal district in the name of Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period. The rich are all in the royal district, and there are many people who have no money and what to do with their poor relatives. These people account for the vast majority, and a group of big temples do not accept the lords of the second temple and have no way to live here. Shiren City is a desertified saline-alkali land with no grass. More severe desertification has turned the original stone city into a dead city in the heart of the desert.

It turns out that there are still residents of neighboring countries and some contacts here, and the climate has become unsuitable for human habitation due to the aggravation of desertification. No one in Shiren City has ever done any serious business here, and there is no complete business system. The big families have all moved away, and the last bit of hope here is gone. In order to make a living, these poor people who lived in Stone Man City also began to move out of here.

As soon as the Yuan family left, the residents who lived here mainly followed the Yuan family to fight for thugs, or some hawkers who relied on the Yuan family for a living all year round. The main source of income is gone, and these residents are scattered.
