Chapter 155
People who often live in the city that never sleeps know these characteristics, making trouble in a place like the inn can only be regarded as bad luck for five people, and now the five people are not afraid of the guy in front of them, but the inn behind it, and the system that may be related, how dare they fight against the powerful overdraft.
In any case, the innkeeper's words now can be regarded as a sentence on the consequences of their trouble, according to the rules of the city that never sleeps, for the next three months, the personal freedom of the five will be controlled by the inn. Up to now, the onlookers are still just looking at it coldly, even if they can see that it is the eight people who covet the beauty of the two female martial arts cultivators, but still no one has come forward to speak for the five people, seeing that the eight people have forced them into a desperate situation, Lin Xuanzhong has a complex emotion of hatred and sympathy, of course, it is aimed at both of them.
"Qingyi, what's the matter with them being arrested as miners?" In the past, the Lin family had their own minerals, so Lin Xuanzhong was very curious about what the woman meant by what she said just now.
"That's a way to compensate for the price," Shaking his head, Qing Yi continued to explain, "Uncle Shi said that if you offend certain forces in the City that never sleeps, you can't make corresponding jade compensation, and they must use a certain amount of forced labor to offset their debts. ”
Maybe what Qing Yi said was a little vague, Lin Xuanzhong didn't understand much at first, and then thought about it alone, and remembered the woman's words just now, Lin Xuanzhong gradually understood what Qing Yi meant.
Just now, the innkeeper said that the five people would lose their personal freedom in the next three months, and they would use it for the inn, precisely to offset the debts they couldn't pay off, so the five people might be forced to do a lot of things in the next three months. Listening to the nun's tone, going to be a miner should be one of the worst things to do, and there may be other things to do.
In fact, for these people who have no money and can't repay their debts in the city that never sleeps, their creditors have the right to let them do many things according to the amount of debts, such as selling their bodies, performing arts, etc., and if the situation is bad, they may have to repay their debts through a lifetime of labor, so it is best not to smash other people's shops and restaurants in the city that never sleeps, otherwise if there is no money to compensate, then it will only be Wu Xiu himself who suffers.
Of course, under normal circumstances, it is rare for such a situation to happen, so all along, the number of people who want to take root in the city that never sleeps is still flocking, and it has never decreased. Because in the city that never sleeps, the strong are more noble, and the weak are more humble, and everything is real and visible.
After Lin Xuanzhong gradually figured out the various relationships involved in the things in front of him, when he looked at that group of people again, Lin Xuanzhong's eyes had changed significantly, and under the ups and downs of emotions, a cynical mood arose.
Lin Xuanzhong couldn't understand why the order of the Sleepless City was so cruel, originally a trivial matter about money involved the personal freedom and even the safety of several people, could it be that the status of ordinary martial arts cultivators was really so humble in the Sleepless City, so why did the other ordinary martial cultivators in the inn have been watching coldly, and no one had the intention of asking for help, Lin Xuanzhong really couldn't figure out why those people were more willing to stand by and watch.
"Don't hide it from the little brother, a few of us have a good errand that needs to be done, and we are willing to give fifty pieces of jade in exchange for three months of free time for them, I wonder if your inn is willing?" Sure enough, the eight people had already expected the current situation, so when the inn guy pronounced the sentence that the other five people were losing their freedom, the thin and tall man expressed their thoughts to the inn guy.
"Despicable and shameless," Seeing that the other party deliberately fell into the well and wanted to perform a conspiracy, the older woman immediately said with a cold face: "I will not go with you even if I die." The voice is still so heroic, which makes people feel that this woman is a person with a strong personality, and would rather die than be humiliated.
On the other side, the little girl standing behind several people had a pitiful face, and now she was too scared. By now, Lin Xuanzhong finally understood that the two sides would fight, and it was indeed those eight people who deliberately provoked trouble.
Thinking of the purpose of the eight people's tricks, "It's really despicable", Lin Xuanzhong immediately scolded secretly, he really couldn't stand it.
"What if that inn guy agrees to that man's request?" In desperation, Lin Xuanzhong had no choice but to turn around and look at Qing Yi next to him.
"Those five people must obey the arrangement, judging from the woman's fierce temperament, she may really judge herself on the spot, and the other younger woman will definitely be worse than dead. "It's not a day or two to run outside, and Qing Yi's eyesight is naturally much smarter than Lin Xuanzhong's, so it's not effortless to analyze Lin Xuanzhong.
Qing Yi's opinion confirmed some of Lin Xuanzhong's guesses, seeing that the two women were about to fall into the hands of those eight shameless people, Lin Xuanzhong really couldn't stand it and wanted to go over to help. But for a long time, I always heard Zhang Qi say that the world is sinister, and you must be careful everywhere when walking outside, and don't meddle in things, so as not to bring disaster to yourself. Qing Yi clearly said similar words before, but now there are eight people on the other side, but there are only two on his side, Lin Xuanzhong did not dare to rush forward.
Then, just when Lin Xuanzhong hesitated, the innkeeper smiled and nodded at the eight people: "Yes, if you can pay their fees in advance, we will hand over all five of them to you, but we have to go to the Nanjia office to register the relevant handover procedures." ”
"Naturally, as long as the formalities are completed, our life and death will be all in our hands, and it has nothing to do with your inn," chuckled, and the tall and thin man replied to the innkeeper with great certainty.
"Yes, we are not evil people, so naturally we dare not break the rules. After the tall and thin man finished speaking, the short and fat man who looked obscenely before also echoed with a smile on his face.
"Ding Dong ......" There was a sound, and when the guy was in cahoots with the eight people, the strong woman's long sword came out of the body and directly put it on her neck, "Senior brother, senior sister, we'll see you in the next life." "When he said that, he was going to kill himself on the spot.
"Senior sister, don't. ”
"Senior Sister ......"
When the young woman was about to wipe her neck, the man standing in front of her hurriedly turned around and snatched the long sword from the woman's hand, and the young girl also bravely ran from behind to stop her senior sister.
"Girl, it's better to live than to die, why do you have to seek death and life, if the inn doesn't agree to our conditions, won't you die in vain. Seeing that the woman's search for death was unsuccessful, the tall and thin man smiled and hypocritically persuaded him.
"Yes, what a yellow flower girl, it's a pity to die with a sword. The companion next to them laughed and agreed, as if in their eyes the young woman's life was worthless, and life and death had nothing to do with them.
"Qingyi, how much jade do we have?" The situation was urgent, Lin Xuanzhong had no time to think about it, and immediately looked at Qingyi and asked, "Can we help them?"
There were many guests in the inn, many of them came to eat together, but no one came forward to help the five people, Lin Xuanzhong didn't think that there would be anyone else willing to help the five people.
"There are still a lot of jade," meeting Lin Xuanzhong's gaze, Qing Yi's eyes flashed with anger, but he looked much calmer than Lin Xuanzhong. Thinking that if the middle-aged team leader was here, he would never die or be saved, Qingyi immediately explained to Lin Xuanzhong: "You wait here, I'll help them." As he spoke, he gently patted Lin Xuanzhong on the shoulder, and Qing Yi walked down the stairs.
"Man, those five are my companions, and I'll pay for them. "Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first. As soon as he came down the stairs, Qing Yi shouted to the guy standing between the two people with a smile on his face.
All of a sudden, the entire inn looked at Qing Yi, especially the eight people.
Seeing that Qing Yi was going to be strong and bad for their good deeds, they all lowered their faces and looked at Qing Yi with an unkind expression.
"Be nosy, but think about the consequences. One of the eight men who had never spoken, and who looked surprisingly good, said coldly. Seeing that their plan was about to succeed, but someone interfered at a critical moment, this person was angry, so when he saw that Qing Yi was just an ordinary martial arts cultivator, this person threatened unceremoniously.
Regardless of Qing Yi's composure, he ignored the man's threat, regardless of the faces of the eight people, and walked straight to the inn guy.
"There are forty pieces of jade in it, please smile. Qing Yi's tone was very polite, so that people could not have any disgust, and handed over the jade as he spoke. is worthy of being a diplomat of the mercenary team, and Qingyi's actions are very sophisticated.
Thinking about the fact that Qing Yi is responsible for many things in the mercenary team, Lin Xuanzhong admires Qing Yi's ability to do things.
And when the guy saw someone coming over to stand up for the five people, he was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, seeing Qing Yi handing over a handful of jade with a smile on his face, his originally stiff face eased, and he was about to accept those jades. As long as the guys accept those jades, the five of them naturally don't need to be controlled by others anymore.
"This brother?" Seeing Qing Yi hand over forty pieces of jade to the inn guy, the older man among the five immediately wanted to stop him in embarrassment.
"Needless to say," Qing Yi understood what the other party meant, and didn't wait for the man to finish speaking, just smiled gently at the man and the junior brothers and sisters behind him.
"But, you don't ......" I don't know what's going on, the youngest girl didn't seem to understand what the situation was, and said to Qing Yi with some doubts, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Qing Yi.
"I'll talk about it later," after making a silent gesture, Qing Yi turned his gaze to the innkeeper again.
Looking at the jade with white flowers in Qing Yi's hand, after a brief consideration, the innkeeper immediately smiled and unceremoniously took the jade and counted the number.
