Chapter 40: Turmoil I

A whole month had passed since the day when there had been no caravans, and ordinary people needed only food to survive, and to them, each person had less than five hundred gray coins, and to them those transactions were like legends, although they had heard of it, but almost never carried out.

But the people in the middle and upper echelons of Outpost Town are already about to fall out at this time.

The class of Outpost City is like the city in the sky and the ground, ordinary people only need food on the ground, people work on the farm, are protected by guards, and then wait for the harvest every few days, and then share their own food, and the life is almost over.

But the middle and upper class people don't need to work on their own, because of the contribution of their ancestors to the outpost, so they own their own fields, and those who work in their fields only need to submit food on time, and then they exchange it for money for their enjoyment.

The difference is how much land the middle class and the upper class have, and just after they have it, because they are worried about the finances of their own homes, and they employ trustworthy guards to keep them and their property safe.

This is how their wealth has been accumulated over the years, so sending local food to Outpost City and then making it into a more portable concentrated food is their source of income.

It's just that because of the complete disappearance of the caravan, the caravan formed by each family uniting with each other has been attacked, and they haven't received a single income for a month. For them, this is an unprecedented disaster, and they can certainly endure no income for a month, even if it is half a year, it is not a problem for them.

But this kind of thing can't go on forever, they are a big family that needs money, not a family that eats the old book. So they went to the mayor's office building in Outpost with their anger and questions, they needed an explanation, they needed to know why they paid taxes to Outpost, but now they got their caravan blocked.

At this time, only the deputy mayor was sitting in the mayor's office, and several of his subordinates, listening to the people outside coming here every day because of these things, the fat man Tian Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, anxious, but helpless, because the only one who can really decide these is the domineering mayor, but at this time the mayor doesn't know where it is.

And it is not Tian Zheng who can always appease these people, because it was Bai Ming, the crisis officer of Outpost Town, who always did these things in the past, but Bai Ming was still locked up in prison at this time because he was suspected by the female messenger before, because Bai Ming's voice among the masses was very high, not to mention Bai Ming to help them solve this, and even those people who had nothing to do came here to make a fuss, wanting to ask why Bai Ming was locked up.

Tian Zheng has been tormented by these trivial things with a headache, but there is no way, he can only sit in the room and sulk, even the chrysanthemum tea that can usually make Tian Zheng settle down and taste quietly, at this time it tastes a little tasteless, although he is very resentful of the mayor in his heart, but Tian Zheng still can't help but think where is the mayor?

If he knew that Tian Zheng's son was killed by himself, and Tian Zheng was still thinking about himself, I am afraid that the mayor would have a little emotion in his heart, but instead of being moved, he secretly scolded the other party for being a slave who was obedient.

At this time, the place where the mayor is located is in a hall, and the heads of the big families who have been "invited" over are all sitting on the long table here at this time, the closer to the position of the mayor Li Sheng, the more people with status, if the deputy mayor Tian Zheng is here, he must be able to see at a glance that these people can be said to have almost ninety-five percent of the wealth of the entire outpost town.

But at this time, these people were not happy at all, because they were forced here by the guards carrying knives and guns, and being able to pull them here from the hands of many Black Iron Rank Upper and Black Iron Rank Intermediate Guards was not something that the guards of the outpost town could do.

Looking at the entire room of hundreds of square meters, there are more than two black iron level powerhouses standing behind almost everyone's seats, thinking of the outside of this temporary warehouse, there are even more black iron level top and middle level powerhouses, at this time, where is there still the leisurely self-satisfaction of being a rich man in the hearts of these people, and they can't help but think of a terrible word in their hearts.

Preparing so many troops, and pulling all the rich and rich people over, what can it be if it is not a rebellion!

"Mayor, may I ask ......" wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, the head of one of the three largest families in the town wanted to speak, but Li Sheng suddenly waved his hand.

Li Sheng's voice was full of disdain for these people, and there was an indescribable domineering, Li Sheng said lightly: "Don't forget what I said just now, before I speak, no one can speak, and when I speak, no one can interrupt, and after I finish speaking, I don't agree, no one can ask any questions, have you forgotten!" ”

A cold and murderous voice made everyone follow, and at this moment, the guards standing on both sides released a murderous aura at the same time, making these local tyrants, who had almost never been out of the outpost town and experienced any danger, feel an indescribable sense of danger.

And the next moment, Li Sheng jumped directly to his seat at the end of the long table, stepped on the table, pulled out the long knife at his waist, put it on the shoulder of the person who spoke just now, and said something that made everyone present feel creepy: "I should have cut you off if you violated my words, but you are one of my rich people, how can I let you die so easily, cut off your arm, don't you take an example, you know?" ”

A cool breath appeared from behind and spread to the entire body, this person wanted to say something, but he was afraid that if he said any nonsense again, he would be executed, so he could only look at the two powerful guards of the black iron level around him coldly, and after clamping himself, he strangled his left arm with a rope, and his hand fell with a knife.

For a while, this person fainted on the spot, and at this time, the number two person standing behind the most powerful head of the family finally knew why he would get them over, because Li Sheng just knew that someone would definitely speak disobediently, so he died one, and someone could make up for it.

At the thought of this, everyone present was trembling with fright, and Li Sheng's image was constantly distorted in their hearts, as if the person standing in front of them at this time was not the mayor, but a devil.

And after seeing the last person come in, knowing that it was almost time, Li Sheng jumped off the table again, then sat down in his place and clapped his hands.

"Well, let me say my request again, no one can speak until I speak, and no one can interrupt while I speak, and after I have finished I have not agreed, no one can ask any questions, I do not want anyone to violate any word, if I interrupt my words......"

"Quickly let us go back, don't think that you can do anything wrong if you are the mayor of the town, you are just a dog of the city lord, a dog who helps him take care of the house, what are you arrogant!" The head of the family who did the table didn't see the bloody scene just now because he just came in, so he not only directly interrupted Li Sheng's words in person, but also said Li Sheng's pain, that is, when the city lord was strong, Li Sheng, as the city lord's subordinate, helped the city lord.

As soon as they heard these words, the faces of the people around them changed dramatically, they had seen stupid people, they had never seen such stupid people, couldn't they see that in these light houses around them, there were a lot of black iron level high-ranking guards, I am afraid that they have turned over the entire outpost town, and they can't make up so many numbers, and the weakness of the outpost town is not simply said, can't you see the situation at this time.

"It's really bold, it seems that some people don't believe what I Li Sheng said." Li Sheng raised his left hand as he spoke, and waved it lightly, just when this person was about to say something, one of the two guards suddenly pressed this person to the table, and then the other person stabbed him in the neck with a knife, towards everything next to him, not only cutting a big hole in the table, but also cutting off the head of this disobedient person.

Just after the faces of the people in front of and behind this person were splashed with blood, they didn't even dare to move, and Li Sheng's majesty was established in everyone's hearts.

And the person who was killed was thrown into the open space outside, like the arm that had been cut off before, and the sides of the open space were stained with guards wearing protective gear made of iron feather chickens and holding steel knives in their hands.

Looking around the room, this time Li Sheng asked softly, "Is there anyone else who wants to say anything?" ”

There was silence.

"Very well, then let me continue." Li Sheng said lightly and sat down, and said a shocking sentence in one mouth.

"Actually, this is not a disaster for you, because after this time, if there is no problem, some of those territories will always be with you, because I am honored to tell you that now you have the opportunity to become the elders of the independent city of Shengcheng, and you should be happy."

Independent!

As soon as they heard this, everyone's hearts were cold, they didn't expect Li Sheng's idea to be true, he not only wanted to rebel, but also wanted to be independent!

What is the concept of independence, the whole town will be out of the control of the city above, although this kind of thing is common in the whole world, but most of the people who do not measure themselves want to be independent, and the final solution is even clearer to them.

As if seeing the horror in everyone's hearts, Li Sheng said lightly: "Don't worry, don't say that we are independent, or someone will come to approve our independence later, before that, you just need to nod and sign the agreement." ”

An agreement, just like that, is in front of everyone.

Sign? Or don't sign?
