Chapter 19 A Different Southern Xinjiang
"Mo Lao, who do you guess these people are?" Luo Chen suddenly asked.
"Aren't they mountain bandits?" Mo Lao was a little strange.
Luo Chen took Mo Lao to Cheng Tianze's corpse and pointed, "Do you know this person?" ”
"Cheng family!" Mo Lao was a little surprised, "This is Cheng Tianze, the son of the Cheng family!" ”
"Well, I didn't expect that either!"
"This Cheng family, I didn't expect to do this kind of thing!" Mo Lao was very angry.
"But I don't think they're bandits at all!" Luo Chen's brows furrowed.
"Oh? Why? "Mo Lao was a little surprised!
"Don't you think it's strange that they don't rob property, they only catch strong men?"
"Well, I was weird just now, but no matter what they want to do, they shouldn't do these hurtful things, this Cheng family is really a scourge!" Mo Lao said angrily.
"Let the government solve this matter!" Luo Chen stood up, he had consumed a lot of money just now, and he was really tired and hungry at this time.
"Hmm!" Mo Lao nodded, but suddenly he noticed that Cheng Tianze's wound was a little strange, but Mo Lao didn't ask much, got up and said, "Let's go back!" ”
Back at Chen Changgeng's house, Chen Changgeng's wife knew that the bandits had all been eliminated, so she put her mind at ease and hurriedly went to the kitchen to reheat the dishes and give them to Luo Chen and them.
After dinner, Luo Chen began to practice every day before going to bed, while Chen Changgeng and the others did not extinguish the fire until midnight and came back to rest.
Early the next morning, when Luo Chen and Mo Lao were about to leave, the villagers came to see them off in order to thank them for saving their lives.
After saying goodbye to Chen Changgeng's family and the villagers, Luo Chen and Mo Lao got on their horses together, left Wushan Village, and traveled day and night towards southern Xinjiang.
Two days later, Luo Cheng and Mo Lao crossed the Wulong River, which almost divided the Great Shang Dynasty in two, and came to the southern frontier of the Great Shang Dynasty.
On the way, Mo Lao also told Luo Chen a lot of the history of the Great Shang Dynasty, which was founded for more than 500 years, this number shocked Luo Chen, but according to Mo Lao's words, the current Great Shang Dynasty is also in a state of extreme corruption, which Luo Chen has actually seen for a long time, and he has also deeply felt it along the way.
According to Mo Lao's words, if it weren't for the strong foundation of the Great Shang Dynasty, coupled with the founding emperor Shang Ying, who was proficient in the art of formations, and retained powerful formations in many major strategic locations of the Great Shang Dynasty, and retained them to this day to deter other countries, I am afraid that the Great Shang Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.
However, when the two crossed the Wulong River and came to southern Xinjiang, they were surprised, where the people were safe and full of homes, which was completely opposite to the scene they had experienced before, and they seemed to have come to another country in a trance.
"I didn't expect there to be such a big difference across the river!" Luo Chen said in surprise.
"Yes, it seems that there has been a good official in Southern Xinjiang in the past few years!" Mo Lao sighed.
Speaking of which, he hadn't been here for four or five years, so the change here was a surprise to him.
Leaving the ferry, Luo Chen and Mo Lao went straight to Nanping City in the southern Xinjiang, and in the evening, the two successfully arrived at Nanping City, which was only a day's journey away from the Southern Wilderness, so Mo Lao and Luo Chen stayed in this city for one night, and also bought some necessary items in the wild, such as medicine to repel poisonous insects, medicine to smear wounds, and pills that can quickly restore physical strength and replenish true qi, in addition, they also bought plenty of food and a change of clothes, Luo Chen also bought his favorite mutton, ready to occasionally treat his taste buds to the side mutton skewers.
These items cost almost all the money carried by the two of them, but fortunately, Luo Chen's storage ring space is enough, otherwise it really can't hold so many things.
Early the next morning, the two rode on their horses again and headed straight for the Southern Wilderness......
……
The eastern mining area of Yunxiao City, which is one of the three major mining areas of the Great Shang Dynasty, has rich metal deposits.
On the mountain road of a mine, a group of three people galloped on horseback, and finally came to a wooden house area, and threw down two large and one small, three people tied up, these three people were Chen Changgeng's family of three.
"You bring the three of them in, and I'll report to the head of the house!" A small-eyed man said in a deep voice, and then quickly ran towards a wooden building in the distance.
"Get up! Get up! The other two kicked Chen Changgeng and his wife, and they struggled to get up from the ground and looked around with a panicked expression.
"Come with me!" The two took Chen Changgeng and his wife to a wooden house, and soon a few more people walked in at the door, led by a middle-aged man with thin lips and narrow eyes, if Luo Chen was here at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize that this middle-aged man was the head of the Cheng family - Cheng Yaohui.
"Head of the house!" The two greeted respectfully.
And Cheng Yaohui didn't say a word, walked up to Chen Changgeng and his wife with a gloomy face, looked at them with cold eyes, and then grabbed Chen Changgeng's collar, gritted his teeth and asked, "Tell me, who killed my son that night!" ”
"I, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Chen Changgeng pretended to be confused, in fact, when he was arrested, he basically guessed that these people were likely to have something to do with those mountain bandits last time.
Bang –
Cheng Yaohui glared angrily, raised his hand and punched Chen Changgeng in the abdomen, directly hitting him to his knees and retching again and again.
"Chang Gung!"
"Daddy!" Chen Changgeng's wife and children turned pale with fright.
"Say! Who were the two people who stayed in your house that night! Cheng Yaohui grabbed Chen Changgeng's neck and roared angrily, his voice a little hysterical.
"Ahem...... I, I don't know, even if you kill me, I don't know! Chen Changgeng waited for Cheng Yaohui angrily, and said unyieldingly, he knew very well that these people must be looking for Luo Chen and Mo Lao to take revenge, Luo Chen and Mo Lao are kind to their family, and even the whole village, and he Chen Changgeng will not betray his benefactor.
Smack-
Cheng Yaohui was furious, raised his hand and slapped Chen Changgeng again, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, the bones are hard enough, my son was killed, then I will let you feel the pain of losing your son! Come on, kill this kid for me! ”
"Don't, don't!" Chen Changgeng's wife was suddenly half frightened to death, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "My lord, I said, I said, don't kill my son, don't kill my son!" ”
"Xiao Ye, don't say it!" Chen Changgeng yelled, "They are the benefactors of our Wushan Village, we can't do such ungrateful things!" ”
"I, I don't care, I can't watch Xiaobao get killed! My lord, I tell you, don't kill my son! Chen Changgeng's wife said in fear.
"Okay, so tell me who they are? Tell me, I'll let you go, otherwise ......" Cheng Yaohui walked up to Chen Changgeng's wife and said coldly.
"Don't say Xiaoye ......," Chen Changgeng tried his best to stop.
"One of them is called Mo Lao...... Luo Chen alone......"
"Mo Lao?" Cheng Yaohui's eyes widened, "It's him, it's him!" No wonder my son's wounds were burned! Damn, this old immortal actually poisoned my son next time! ”
Cheng Yaohui's face was hideous, his fists were clenched, the horizontal flesh on his face trembled, and his eyes were full of hatred.
"Do you know where they went?" Cheng Yaohui asked again.
"This, I don't know about this, they said, it seems to be going to the south, they didn't say where to go!" Chen Changgeng's wife said obediently, she also learned from listening to Chen Changgeng and Mo Lao's chat that night, and she didn't know where to go.
"Damn, your surname is Mo, you are an old immortal, I, Cheng Yaohui, will not kill you, and I will not be a man!" Cheng Yaohui gritted his teeth and said, and then a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "The woman is killed, and the man stays for me as a coolie!" ”
"Yes!" The people next to him responded in unison.
"No, don't!"
