Chapter 142: Sleepless Night (2)
In the corner of the Black Rock Tavern.
Hammer silently wiped his giant axe, and the thin monkey looked at him with an anxious face, but this King of Shadows of Dunrk Dock was like a cultivator who had seen through the red dust, and he was unexpectedly quiet when all the adventurers were smashing and looting.
"Boss, you're giving orders!"
The thin monkey said in an eager tone, and it seemed to him that for every minute of delay, they would lose a huge amount of wealth.
"No hurry, no hurry," Hammer shook his head, "Listen to me tell me a story first!"
The thin monkey looked at Hammer with a somewhat unswerving face, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his old gourd.
"A long time ago, maybe twenty or thirty years! Dunerke was not what it is now, the patriarch of the Garcia family at that time seemed to be Dude Garcia, although this patriarch had a calm personality, but under his rule, Dunerke has been tepid. ”
Hammer's voice was a little hoarse, with a sense of a story from the past, as if an old man was telling the story of his past.
"Until the death of the old patriarch, the new patriarch, Simpson Garcia, became the ruler of Dunerke. This young and handsome nobleman had greater ambitions than his father, and in his hands Duncé became more and more prosperous, and the Garcia family became more and more powerful! ”
The thin monkey listened quietly, and his face began to become expressionless.
Hammer paused, he looked at the thin monkey, and said with a hint of sadness in his tone: "Simpson is a scheming nobleman, but he is surprisingly cold to the common people. ”
"Outside Dunerque, there are dozens of farms owned by the Garcia family. There was a farmer, they had served the Garcia family for generations, they had been the servants of the Garcia family, even in the most cruel famine, this farmer never failed to deliver the master's grain, just as the old patriarch died, and the farm also had a new owner, that is, the eldest son of the old farmer. ”
Gradually, the story becomes more and more moving, the young farmer falls in love with a beautiful girl, and the two fall in love with each other, and finally enter into a marriage.
However, bad luck struck.
A young master of the Garcia family fell in love with the girl, and he took possession of her by brutal means, and the young farmer could only watch his wife be taken away, and soon after, a tortured woman was sent back.
That beautiful woman, crazy!
The simple character of the generations made the young man suffer silently, and what was worse was that the woman was pregnant, and according to the time, this child should be the child of the Garcia family.
But Simpson knew about it, and as the patriarch of the Garcia family, he did not allow the family's blood to be tarnished, and an illegitimate child was a disgrace to the thriving Garcia.
So, one night.
The farm caught fire, the farmer's family had their throats cut in their sleep, and the young farmer was hanged from a tree in front of the farm, but the second son of the farmer was not at home that night.
“...... That's it for the story. ”
Hammer looked at the thin monkey quietly, the thin monkey's face at this time was completely cold, and the thin monkey had already understood, and the Hammer in front of him was afraid that he was the second son of the farmer back then.
"Isn't it strange to you, why is my past different from the Garcia family's files?" asked Hammer softly as he looked at the skinny monkey.
Poof!
A dagger struck abruptly through the skinny monkey's heart, and behind him, a tavern maid stuck behind him at some point.
Hammer slowly stood up, although he no longer had the sharpness of his youth, but when Hammer really stood up, he could still feel the momentum of an underworld hero.
Holding the giant axe, he looked at the thin monkey whose blood was gushing out, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "Thin monkey, should I call you the fourth of the dark shark, or should I call you the future king of Dunker Pier? ”
Step by step from the bottom to this level, Hammer has actually reached a tacit agreement with the Garcia family, the shadow always has to be attached to the light, don't look at Hammer is the uncrowned king of Dunerke, but in fact he is just a representative of the Garcia family's management of the gray field.
And the Skinny Monkey is a shadow sent by the Garcia family, if Hammer really attacks Garcia's mansion tonight, then the Skinny Monkey can justifiably kill him, and then become the new leader of the Dunker Docks.
However, the skinny monkey died.
Walking out of the front desk of the tavern, Hammer clenched the giant axe in his hand, and looked at the people in the tavern, and without saying a word, he tore open the sleeve of his right hand, revealing a strange sign. It was a symbol of a scythe representing agriculture and a fist representing struggle, the Brotherhood of Mountains and Forests.
Brotherhood of Mountains and Forests.
It was an organization that rebelled against the violent rule of the Garcia family, and in the space of twenty years, Dunerke became the largest port in the south, and behind this prosperity was the blood and tears of countless people.
The Garcia family took advantage of the port to bring in a large amount of merchant capital, and began to develop rapidly with the help of the merchant power in the early stage, but merchants were not a good thing.
Exploiting the working people at the bottom, forcing small businessmen to create unscrupulous commercial competition, and using means to swallow up local capital......
And all this, with the acquiescence of the Garcia family, for a long time, because the big merchants saw the tolerance of the nobles of this land to the merchants, a large amount of money began to be injected, although the people at the bottom began to suffer, but the general economy of Dunrk continued to rise.
It's a pattern of big fish swallowing small fish.
When Duncke entered the era of port economy, the Garcia family began to shrink the rights of merchants in recent years.
For the aristocracy, the people at the bottom are just small fish, and the big fish from outside eat their own small fish, and if they are fattened, they can take it back with interest.
Businessmen are suppressed!
The power of capital then began to confront the aristocracy.
Some people who had suffered a lot, with the help of some merchants, formed a brotherhood of mountains and forests composed of tavern apprentices, butchers, farmers, etc. The merchants were not stupid and secretly financed these forces, and soon, the Brotherhood of Mountains and Forests became a violent organization that gave headaches to the Dunnker aristocracy.
It has to be said that it is ironic that the Garcia family allowed the merchants to oppress the bottom people, and when the nobles began to move the merchants, it was these bottom people who became the weapons of the merchants to defend themselves.
"Brothers, the Garcia family is in the midst of a war, and the criminal aristocracy is about to be overthrown! However, our future requires us to fight with our fists, now, rush to Garcia's mansion with me, and drag those fat guys out!"
With a wave of his hand, the tavern instantly boiled, and I'm afraid the Garcia family didn't know that the giant axe striker Hammer, the underworld leader who had been handling dirty things for them, was actually the top of the Brotherhood of Mountains and Forests.
