No matter how much the government whitewashes the peace on the surface, as long as the sun can reach it, there are dark places. There are countless cases reported to the Criminal Department every day in Shendu Prefecture, and there are one hundred and three squares in two counties of Shendu, where merchants from all over the world gather. Such a prosperous big city was rare to see even at the height of the pre-Qin period.

Such a large city, densely populated, will also give birth to ghosts. The glamorous ones are always only a few people, and more people are in the darkness of this city, secretly repeating the boring days day by day.

The night will be their cover, and in the darkness of all silences, people's desires will be infinitely magnified. Some people want to survive, some people want to live better, they can't see the light of day, and they will only appear when the night falls.

"This is because of me, you can come at me, it has nothing to do with my daughter!" A scholar yelled in a crack in his heart, but his hand grabbed the ankle of the person in front of him, and he was kicked away. His strength was not great, and when he was kicked in the heart by this kick, he felt tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, and the whole person fell to the ground and began to gasp heavily.

There were three men in the room, all of whom looked athletic, dressed in the most common coarse cloth shirts in the market, and their heads were shaved bald. One of them was the most robust, with two arms with green tendons exposed, and he looked powerful. Even more obvious is the hideous scar on his face.

The man ignored the wailing scholar and walked straight up to the girl. The girl was not very old, her hair was combed into two buns, her little face was pale, and her lips were trembling and she did not dare to speak.

Scarface twisted his hand around the girl's chin, looked at it for a moment, and said, "It's a beautiful embryo, and if you sell it in the Qinglou in Nanshi, you can sell it for a good price." ”

The scholar originally covered his chest with a painful face, but when he heard this, he got up directly from the ground and shouted: "I will pay back the money I owe you, give me another day, and I will pay you back tomorrow!" ”

Scarface shook his head: "Lao Tzu gave you seven days of kung fu, and the boss has already given you a chance, how many days have you been?" If you dare to owe us the money of the Dragon Gang, you really don't want to die! ”

"When the Tai Sui Gang is here, it only costs a hundred Wen, and you will ask for five taels of silver when you come up. Even if I smash the pot and sell iron, you won't be able to pay this money! ”

The scholar's cry was loud, Scar's face frowned, and the two subordinates beside him pressed the scholar's head and slammed it to the ground.

The scholar's head was torn and blood flowed. Her daughter screams and tries to rush over, but is stopped by Scarface's men.

Scarface sneered: "Tai Sui Gang, what is he, he has died a long time ago, the Zangchun Pavilion behind him has fallen, and those bed bugs are not rolling out of the capital." 100 Wen, hum, do you want to eat? Either hand over the money, or, hehe, your girl is good, just act as filial piety money! ”

This sound fell on the scholar's heart, and the scholar couldn't help but scratch his nails on the floor, trembling all over.

Seeing this, Scarface sneered, made a gesture, and the two men dragged the girl to leave. The girl struggled desperately, but the strength of those two subordinates was so great that she couldn't break free at all.

The scholar finally couldn't hold back the roar in his heart, and he yelled: "Bastard, my daughter is only thirteen years old! My daughter is a citizen of Da Zhou, and all households have been registered. I don't agree, I'll see which Qinglou dares to accept it! ”

Because the Great Zhou Law clearly stipulates that if any Qinglou wants to accept a newcomer, it must depend on whether there is the consent of relatives. The Department of Teaching and Workshop will review it every once in a while, and no one in the Qinglou Red Pavilion dares to disobey it. Because the emperor is a woman today, the law has also been adjusted accordingly. Whoever dares to sell a woman from a good family without permission will be punished heavily.

If the scholar doesn't agree, the girl will not be willing to accept it.

Scarface sneered: "The Qinglou of Da Zhou doesn't want your daughter, those people in the Western Regions like it." These people are looking forward to marrying a woman from the Central Plains and going back, although your daughter is small, they will not dislike it. ”

The scholar was furious, and he swung his fist at Scarface. Scarface didn't dodge, sneered and squeezed the scholar's fist, kicking him hard in the stomach.

A stream of blood spat out of the scholar's mouth, and the heavy force made him feel as if his internal organs had shifted, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Scarface spat at the mouth and shoved a piece of cloth into the girl's mouth. The girl struggled desperately, but how could her delicate strength compare to the two big men.

Several people pushed the girl into the courtyard, and at the moment because it was night, it was very quiet all around.

This is just an order, after making this order, I have to go to Nanshi to have a good drink tonight.

The place where they are located is in a lane in Nanshi, where most of the places sell some pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books and ancient books. Only during the day will there be literati and elegant customers, and at night it is the world of Qinglou Distillery, so most of the shops on both sides are closed.

There is no curfew in Nanshi, but there are many Wuhou. A large number of Jin Wuwei patrol here, which is even stricter than other workshops. Although you will not catch a drunk customer on the street, you will also be interrogated carefully when you encounter some suspicious characters.

It's only two alleys from here to the Green House, but just in case, Scarface decides to put the girl in the carriage.

Roar, roar, roar!

The three of them walked into the courtyard and suddenly heard a low roar.

At first, they didn't think so, thinking that it was someone's vicious dog. Suddenly, they seemed to think of something, and their steps stopped at the same time. A bad thought swept through their brains, and Scarface turned his head to catch a glimpse of two pairs of frightened eyes.

"Let's go, let's go back!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two retreated back into the house. Seeing a few people retreating, the scholar mustered up the last courage and grabbed a kitchen knife in his hand.

He did not allow them to take his daughter away from him.

The low roar outside got closer and closer, and several people suddenly panicked. Scarface's men pushed the girl back again, and several of them pulled out their knives and looked around warily.

Roar!

As the roar got closer, fear swept through the brain like a tidal wave.

One of his men cautiously approached the lattice of the window, and with his fingers he had made a small hole, and was about to get a glimpse of it, when suddenly a knife came in from the outside and stabbed him in the skull.

His subordinates' heads were suddenly pierced by the knife, and they collapsed to the ground weakly.

Scarface and the other of his men couldn't hold back their fear, and the two rushed out with knives in their hands. It was only a split second, and there was no sound outside.

The scholar hugged his daughter, who kept crying, and quietly comforted him, until there was no movement outside. He told his daughter to stay in the house and walked to the door alone with a knife.

Under the moonlight, a figure lay on top of two corpses, grasping the fresh flesh and blood with both hands, devouring it frantically.

Sensing that someone was watching him, the figure turned its head, revealing a fanged face from the darkness. Like a demon crawling out of hell, the corners of his mouth are bloody, and his eyes are glowing with evil light.
