In this way, the stowaways, led by Lu Zhixing, stood in a row in front of the patrolling police.

Police officer is the abbreviation of urban security guard.

Police officers were usually not formal soldiers, but were selected from among the commoners, or were gilded by the children of the nobility.

To put it bluntly, the only difference from ordinary people is that they are allowed to attack [troublemakers]. They all carried short iron bars with them.

"I said you mud legs, your clothes are tidy like a person, why do you still crawl in like dogs?"

The officer's expression was mocking.

"Sir, why don't you follow the old rules this time?"

Lu Zhixing asked tentatively and took out five copper coins.

The police officer sneered: "Before, it's enough to catch you with this money." But now it's different, the police officers in the whole city have received orders from above to impose martial law, in this case, do you think it is enough?"

"Martial law, martial law?" Lu Zhixing looked confused: "Why?"

"Don't care why!" the officer suddenly excited.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have any ghosts, you have to go out to patrol every day, and you don't have any rest at all! The most important thing is that the salary is not increased! Is this a human thing!"

"No, yes, this is not a person! The chief scolded well!" Lu Zhixing responded timidly.

"So, I can only find something in return from you. ”

The police officer took out a stick and pointed it at them: "Ten copper coins per person, the action is sharp! If there is one less, all the sticks will be fined, and they will be thrown out three times in a row, and there will be no next time!"

Is the whole city under martial law?Did you still guess that I was here?

Yu Dongshui thought to himself, and took out two small emperor silvers casually.

When the police officer saw the white coins shining in the sun, he suddenly became greedy, and said viciously to Dongshui:

"Boy, is there so much money that you need to use silver coins?

Yu Dongshui was helpless.

At the beginning, they beat Lu Zhixing violently because they temporarily raised the price; this time, the police not only temporarily increased the price, but also sat on the ground to raise the price, what should I do?

Is it true that being handsome also has to pay taxes?

Lu Zhixing and others saw that Yu Dongshui did not respond, for fear that the police officers would be slapped in a series of ways, so they hurriedly persuaded:

"Brother Charlie, you can beat us, this police officer can't beat us! Listen to the advice of the younger brother, and break the fortune to avoid disaster." ”

The officer heard his whispered advice and smiled smugly.

"Hmph. Yu Dongshui took out two more pieces of Little Emperor Silver and handed them to the other party.

After receiving the money, the police officer waved his hand: "I'll let you go for the time being today, and if you come in next time, call me in advance!"

The others were afraid that Yu Dongshui would angrily step forward and beat the police officer out of the, so they didn't say a word and pulled Yu Dongshui away first.

"Big brother Charlie, it's the little brother I'm sorry for you. Don't worry, we'll definitely make up for it!"

"Yes, Brother Charlie, you are angry, isn't this also coming in?"

"This damn policeman, do you want to find an alley to kill him?"

Yu Dongshui just gave up and responded: "Don't take it to heart, you don't owe me anything." Come out and play, don't be beaten by a mouse. ”

"Well, Brother Charlie is right!"

The others were relieved to see that Yu Dongshui was not angry—at least not on the surface.

Then they adjusted their mood and took their big brother Charlie into the inner city.

Although they didn't know that what really silenced Yu Dongshui was another thing.

"By the way, do you know what's going on in the Monster Bureau in this county?"

Yu Dongshui, who had been silent for a long time, asked.

"The Monster Bureau, I saw their car often passing through the outer city and going outside. But I think I've heard that the director is no longer here. ”

Lu Zhixing scratched his head and said, "Why are you asking this?"

"I used to be a freelancer, so I was more concerned about things in the monster bureau. ”

Yu Dongshui casually found a reason to mess around.

But I never thought that it aroused the almost ecstatic worship of these people:

"What!?Brother Charlie, you've been a freelancer?!"

"No wonder it's so strong! I said how can a hunter have such a powerful ability!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Charlie, can you tell me the story of fighting monsters!"

"It must be Big Brother Charlie's unilateral tyrannical monster!"

Yu Dongshui was surprised by their reaction, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable.

A freelancer who hunts monsters for a living. He is not affiliated with the Monster Bureau or the Demon Hunting Association.,Just hired as a mercenary in places that the various Monster Bureaus can't reach in time.。

Generally, it is fixed in a small town or village, and after being recognized by the Monster Bureau, you can bring the body of the hunted monster to compare it with the magic reaction of the Demon Hunting Association, and after verification, compensation will be given.

And the employment income of freelancers is not taxed, which is also a welfare policy given by the empire to encourage the industry to be more active in protecting the people.

Unlike ordinary workers, who are restricted, they do not have to be exploited by their employers, and they live freely;

The main thing is that it also has unlimited respect from the rescued.

These are the things that a poor man wants to have.

Thinking about it again, the reason why I was able to deal with a dozen of them by myself at that time was because they were thinner than the average person.

Occasionally, a little food may be snatched up by some sturdy overlords in the gang.

Yu Dongshui couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his eyes when he looked at them.

"Eh, Brother Charlie just now-eh" Lu Zhixing wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to speak, so he held back for a long time before saying:

"In short, now let Big Brother Charlie be quiet first, wait back to the camp, and listen to Big Brother Charlie's glorious achievements at any time!"

"Oh. A group of people bowed their heads apologetically like children who had done something wrong.

"Hahahaha, I'm fine, don't you just want to hear my story?"

Yu Dongshui couldn't bear to see these people who still had hope for life, and forcibly made himself laugh because of his expression.

What should I do next? Yu Dongshui has never been a freelancer.

I met with the monster, but I was in a bad situation at the time, and before the monster pounced, I directly [ordered] it to die.

There's not much to talk about at all.

I don't have my own stories, but there are countless stories in the hero Tan.

In order to prevent them from hearing it, Yu Dongshui deliberately picked a few off-the-shelf stories.

For example, [Inmai Moray Knight (Demon)], [Dwarven First King], [Shadow Killer], etc., have been transferred to themselves after Yu Dongshui's artistic processing.

Looking at their fascinated expressions, Yu Dongshui's mood also relaxed.

It was also thanks to the size of the town of Rockshire, that they walked as they spoke, and arrived at a commercial street in Rockshire at three o'clock in the morning.

In addition to countless shops and a dazzling array of goods, there are also many street performers performing and shouting.

The bustling crowd presents a lively scene that is far from being comparable to that of small cities such as Hevrett and Keto.

There is no tension at all in the so-called martial law in the whole city.

Yu Dongshui suddenly had an idea, and said to the others: "Everyone, I may really have any specialties to earn some extra money, wait and see." ”

"Did Van Eiling find it?"

The largest restaurant in Rockshire, Snake House, is located on a commercial street in the center of the city.

The people who enter and leave this building can be said to be either rich or expensive.

It's not just that the consumption level here is high, but more importantly, many political bigwigs have dinner here.

Sitting by the window on the second floor now is the Earl of Rockshire, one of the doormen of Fan Guangyu.

"My lord, I heard that it is in the slums of the outer city. ”

"Ghetto?" his expression was a little subtle.

"Fan Junshou specially entrusted my official to protect the young lady in secret, and now the young lady is succumbing to the slums, I want to hear your opinion on the chief of the guard. ”

"I heard that it's just a little conflict between father and daughter, do you want to take it back directly?"

"No, since Lord Gunden only wants us to protect him secretly, he definitely doesn't want us to interfere. ”

The man surnamed Guan took a sip of tea: "It's really nerve-wracking, why did the young lady suddenly run away from home and settle in the outer city?"

"And Wang Ping is still not at ease when he is by Miss's side, and he is secretly protecting the official. ”

"Do you see something, too?" the man laughed, "The county keeper seems to be planning something." ”

The man sitting across from him was about to reply when he was interrupted by thunderous cheers from the streets.

"I'll take a look. ”

The man on the other side walked swiftly to the window, and after a while he came back and said, "There's a magician performing." ”

"Magic, good guy, so many people are cheering, he must be a master, right? I'm going to check it out. ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked downstairs.

If I'm not mistaken, the official was also born in magic at the beginning, right?

The rest of the man, helpless, followed.

That's right, it's Yu Dongshui again.

Although I don't know why I attract characters with special identities every time, maybe this is the arrangement of fate.

Although there is no blessing from the title of "Magic King" this time, the props are also simple props bought by Yu Dongshui with a Roqueshire silver.

But after all, the popularity of magic is there, and a casual shout and a little trick can attract a lot of people to stop and watch.

Just on ordinary magic without black technology, Yu Dongshui may not be worthy of the title of Magic King;

But at the beginning, in order to avoid the black technology being unusable one day, Yu Dongshui also visited well-known magicians to learn in the past few years.

It's not top-notch, but it's definitely top-notch.

Cheers and applause again and again, and the crowd increased rapidly like a snowball.

After performing a magic trick, Lu Zhixing and the others would pay for it with simple pockets made of clothes - yes, they are now naked.

Seeing that copper coins and even small imperial silver were constantly thrown in, they laughed like madmen.

Yu Dongshui is naturally very happy to put aside everything that has happened in recent days and return to the carefree time at the beginning.

Until—

"Hey, hey, what's going on here?"

A team of patrol officers separated the crowd and came to Lu Zhixing, who collected the money.

"Eh, mud legs, you've made a lot of money?"

One of them is the same police officer who blackmailed them not long ago.

"That's a few hundred copper coins, right? ”

The corners of the officer's mouth had already risen an arc that made Yu Dongshui think of it.

"Old rules, caught you again?"

A few red-eyed police officers followed: "Old rules? You have been secretly taking bribes?"

"Don't worry, look at a pocket of money, it's enough for our brothers to share. ”

So the officers all laughed and nodded in agreement.

"I don't want much from you, how about eighty?" said the first police officer to speak, word by word: "I'm eight and you're two." ”

"You!" Lu Zhixing's expression was full of anger.

"Huh. As soon as the police officer changed his face, he slapped Lu Zhixing's face directly, and with a loud sound, the corner of his pocket lost his strength and slipped off, and copper and silver coins were scattered all over the ground.

"Oh, this still hits the bone, it hurts? What should I do? Take out another 10% for my medical expenses? Haha!"

The officer's exaggerated tone and demeanor caused the other officers to laugh wildly:

"Hey, if you can fan out a hundred copper coins with one slap, I want to try it too!"

The police officer looked at Lu Zhixing, who was glaring at him, and his tone was full of threat: "Don't show such an expression in front of me. ”

Lu Zhixing looked away indignantly.

Others, including the masses, dare not speak out. Yu Dongshui stopped performing and frowned to observe the further development of the situation.

If he couldn't bear it anymore, Yu Dongshui didn't mind going up and hammering their dog's head.

"Hey, don't turn your head away so quickly. There was a joking twist in the officer's words.

"Go, pick up all the money from the ground, wrap it up, and give it to me. He kicked a copper coin with his foot and rolled in front of Lu Zhixing.
