After Chen Tianci finished dealing with the affairs of the shadow guard and the city defense army, he went to see Xiao Man. www.biquge.info Xiaoman was arranged by Ye Luoqiu's people in the nearest block to the Ministry of Internal Security.

When Chen Tianci arrived, Xiao Man was talking to several people in purple uniforms. Chen Tianci did not go in immediately. Xiaoman is an important witness protected by the Ministry of Internal Security, and the questioning at this time is also for the needs of the investigation.

He waited quietly for a while, and the inquiry ended. After the members of the internal guard left, Chen Tianci stepped into the house.

When Xiao Man saw Chen Tianci, he hurriedly asked, "Dongjia, when will this matter be over?" ”

Chen Tianci smiled slightly and said, "What's the hurry, you and I haven't seen each other for so many years, what's the matter?" Isn't it comfortable with me? ”

Xiao Man shook his head and said, "That's not it." ”

"Then what are you anxious about?" Chen Tianci sat down with a smile.

"Alas, it's just that I'm just asking back and forth like this, it's really annoying." Xiao Man muttered and sat down opposite Chen Tianci.

Chen Tianci knew that Xiao Man must have a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. The people of the Ministry of Internal Security ask for verification and verification and verification in everything they do, confirm and confirm and reconfirm, sometimes it does make people feel very upset, not to mention Xiaoman, even Chen Tianci himself sometimes feels annoyed.

But there was no way, and in order to find out something, I had to endure this repeated questioning. In order to sort out the facts. Only when the facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive can action be implemented.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as the absurd practice of Qin Dutong at that time?

Chen Tianci explained these words carefully to Xiao Man, and then made the latter nod his head in understanding.

"I haven't seen you for many years, and you've changed a lot." Chen Tianci said, "Where have you been all these years? Are the Chen clan people I rescued okay? I've been looking for you for a long time, but I haven't been able to find any trace of you. ”

Xiao Man glanced at Chen Tianci and said, "Over the years, in order not to let people discover our true identity, everyone has chosen to live in seclusion in a remote town. Over the years, some people have chosen to go out and explore, and now there are only a few people left. ”

Chen Tianci nodded. People in a family will not always have the same heart, and those people chose to go with Xiaoman at the beginning because only by following Xiaoman can they have a way to live.

Later, the change of environment made them dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted to change their fate, which is understandable.

"In the beginning, people made a living from fishing, but then heavy taxes began to be collected everywhere. As a last resort, we have no choice but to keep moving. Xiaoman said.

He said that he roughly described the places he had traveled in recent years, from Qiongzhou Island to the Shenzhou Mainland, from the Shenzhou Continent to the East Pacific Coast, and after going around many places, they finally chose to come to the rumored Peace City.

Only then did Chen Tianci understand why he could never find any trace of Xiao Man and the others. Because they didn't show up in the places where Chen Tianci was at all.

"Thank you, Xiaoman." Chen Tianci thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Xiaoman is not from the Chen family, although Chen Tianci gave him the surname Chen, he has nothing to do with the Chen family after all. But he not only did not abandon the Chen clan people in difficult times, but also did his best to protect them.

The bitterness and hard work in this do not need to be said by Xiaoman himself, Chen Tianci can also understand it.

"And where are they now?" Chen Tianci asked.

"In a satellite town not far from Peace City." Xiaoman said.

Satellite towns are a large new living area in Heping City to solve the problem of rapid population growth. Although the town is called a town, it is actually comparable in size to a small city. Even compared to the population density of Peace City, it is not about the same.

However, the place was only built as a living quarter, so in fact there were not many people who settled in that town, and most of them were merchants. Therefore, if you want to really talk about it, the population of Heping City is still relatively large.

"I didn't think you would live so close to me." Chen Tianci was extremely surprised.

If he hadn't happened to meet Xiaoman today, he really didn't know when he would have found them. In the vast sea, there are so many deep-sea cities that it is really difficult to find some people in them.

Not to mention that in addition to the ocean, there are many broken lands and islands. Looking at the entire earth, it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack to find Xiao Man and the survivors of the Chen clan in such a vast world.

Fortunately, Chen Tianci and they met after all.

"In that case, take me to meet them today." Chen Tianci said.

Xiao Man was slightly stunned, and continued to be overjoyed.

"That's a good idea." He said, "You are the lord of Heping City, and with you in front of you, everyone's housing problem should be solved." ”

Chen Tianci was stunned when he heard this.

"What? Didn't they get residency in the satellite towns? ”

Xiaoman shook his head.

"Your Peace City is good, but there are too many rules." "We heard that Peace City would cut most of its taxes and provide free housing for people who wanted to settle in Peace City, so we rushed here," he said. ”

"However, when we got here, we found that there are tax reductions and exemptions, but there are also many kinds of fees. You have to pay a fee at every turn. We were asked to pay the sewage fee on the first day we came. This thing is counted per capita, and it costs thirty silver coins each. Xiao Man said something that made Chen Tianci tremble.

"What did you say?" Chen Tianci was shocked, "There is such a thing?" ”

Xiao Man was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "What?" You don't know? ”

Chen Tianci shook his head and smiled, and said: "I am not here all day, so after discussing with everyone, I entrusted all the management of the city to the members of the democratic management committee. ”

When Xiaoman heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, very surprised. "Boss, you don't know. It was because of this sewage fee that we owed the satellite town a huge amount of debt. As a last resort, everyone can only choose to work for the satellite town to pay off the debt. In order to let everyone regain their freedom as soon as possible, I went to the Heping City Market to sell sea fish. ”

When Chen Tianci heard this, his heart burst into flames.

He didn't expect that there were moths in Peace City, and there were tumors in that small satellite town. These hateful people are truly pervasive. At this moment, Chen Tianci suddenly felt that there seemed to be a lot of inappropriateness in their decision to set up a democratic management committee in the first place.

"Let's go. We're going to take a trip to the satellite towns now. Chen Tianci stood up slowly, and a cold murderous aura slowly overflowed from his body.
