Chapter 153: The Law of the Slums
"Thank you, sister. ”
After the crowd dispersed, the delicate girl said respectfully to Chen Ziwei, her bright eyes were full of doubts, obviously, in the Imperial Seal City, there should be no one to meddle in things....
Seeing this, Chen Ziwei chuckled lightly and said, "Don't thank me, we just came here, our lives are sparse, and we just need someone to talk to us about it, and the two of you are just right." ”
"Just here?" Hearing this, the delicate girl's expression relaxed a little, Chen Ziyan couldn't help but shake his head again, what kind of world is this, it is clearly said to be taking advantage of it, but it is easier to arouse the belief of others....The girl is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she has developed a suspicious surname by the surrounding environment.
"Thank you sister for your help, if you have any questions, as long as I am clear, I will tell you. The beautiful girl hurriedly said.
Chen Ziwei waved his hand and said, "You have lived here for a long time, you should know very well, go into the courtyard." ”
At this time, the beautiful girl paused for a moment, as if she was hesitating about something, but the old man pulled the girl and said respectfully: "Miss Dag, my grandson is willing to be in vain, and he will not hesitate to do anything, Miss please first!"
Chen Ziyan leaned against the courtyard door, looking straight at the old man at the moment, compared to the girl, he is not only older, but also that vicious vision, think about it, the grandfather and grandson, one is old, the other is young, both are not profound, but they can live well in this valley of death, relying on the old man's experience over the years.
When the two passed by, Chen Ziyan didn't say anything, turned around and walked straight into the courtyard, the small living room was already cleaned up and decent.
"What's your name?" asked Chen Ziwei after sitting down.
The old man got up slightly and said, "The old man's surname is Wei, Miss just call me Lao Wei, and my granddaughter's name is Wei Qing." ”
"Well, that's good!" Chen Ziwei nodded and said, "Old Wei, how much time have you lived here?"
"It's been more than ten years, and I was hunted down by the enemy back then, and I had to enter the Valley of Death. Lao Wei looked sad for a while, and said in a low voice: "Staying here, although you have to be careful every day, you have to be careful every day, but you have saved an old life and raised Qing'er." ”
"More than ten years is indeed not a short time. Chen Ziwei smiled at Chen Ziyan, who was standing diagonally at the door, and then said: "We just came, we only know that the Imperial Seal City is very big, and we don't know anything else, Lao Wei, you can talk about it." ”
"Yes!" Lao Wei said: "There are nine areas in the Imperial Seal City, which are controlled by the ten major forces, and our place is called Shannan, and the forces to which they belong are the Great Sword Gang!"
Seeing that Chen Ziwei didn't mean to interject, Lao Wei continued: "Everyone who lives in the city must pay a certain amount of money or other things to their respective forces...in exchange for personal safety!"
"Protection fee?" Chen Ziwei and Chen Ziyan couldn't help but be stunned, this ancient style was actually seen in the Outer Valley of Death, and the power was intricate in the Imperial Dynasty, but they had never seen such a fee charged, and it was all about manpower!
Lao Wei said: "After handing it over, in the Imperial Seal City, it can be regarded as a place to settle down, at least, as long as you don't offend people for no reason, others will not easily kill you, and this is also the reason why the old man and Qing'er have lived to this day with such strength for many years." ”
"Is that so?" Chen Ziyan blinked.
Chen Zi smiled slightly, and replied to him with a signal, no wonder after killing someone, those people began not to be afraid, it turned out that they had to rely on it!
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziwei asked, "Now that I have killed a few people, is it that the Great Sword Gang is going to come out for them to find trouble for me?"
"Somebody will come, but it's not necessarily going to be troublesome. Lao Wei said: "In fact, the so-called protection fee varies from person to person, and when they see Miss's cultivation, these troubles will naturally be hidden. ”
"Oh?" Chen Ziwei asked with interest: "My cultivation?" hehe, those few people's cultivation is really too shallow, killing them is nothing, Lao Wei, why are you so sure?"
"The old man has lived to this day, he has no other skills, and a pair of eyes have never been confused because of old age. Lao Wei smiled slightly, and his voice immediately had a hint of pleading, and said: "Miss, if you are willing to save my grandson, your heart must be kind, and in your heart, you must also think that the two of us still have useful value, Miss, take us in!"
"It's not hard to take you in..."
"Miss, don't worry, the old man will definitely not let you down!" Lao Wei said loudly, his expression was very resolute.
Chen Zi smiled faintly and said, "I'll talk about these later, my eyes can't compare to your viciousness." By the way, Lao Wei, it's been a few days since we moved here, why don't we see anyone coming to collect protection money?"
Hearing this, Lao Wei smiled bitterly, but he sighed a little, "Our side of Shannan is known as a slum area, and most of the people who live here are some people with shallow strength, who can usually mix food and clothing, and there are still some superfluous things to hand in, so over time, the Great Sword Gang has gradually given up here, and because of this, although the people living here are more miserable, they are less in danger." ”
"Old Wei, what do you mean?" Chen Zi asked with a slight frown.
Lao Wei replied: "In the Imperial Seal City, there are many ways to make money, needless to say, there are also some demon beasts in the mountains outside the city, and people who live in other places have to pay a certain fee, and they are bound to work hard. ”
Chen Ziwei's expression moved, and after a while, there was a pleasant smile on his pretty face, "It seems that this Imperial Seal City is not too difficult!"
"Okay, Old Wei, you and Wei Qing will live in this courtyard, if there is anything, I will look for you. ”
"Thank you, Miss!" Lao Wei looked overjoyed, with his eyesight, although he couldn't see that this woman was really cultivating, but it was like this, with the identity of such a woman, she could live here openly, and there must be something extraordinary.
"By the way, miss, there is one more thing for you. When Chen Ziwei was about to close his eyes and recuperate, Lao Wei suddenly said loudly.
"You say!"
"In this slum, there is another law, this law, which has been passed down for many years, no matter who lives here, must obey and enforce it. Speaking of this, Lao Wei, whose face has always been very calm, is also a little more shocked at the moment.
"The law in the slum?" Chen Ziyan, who was about to go back to his room, slammed his steps, raised his eyebrows, walked into the living room, and asked lightly: "What is this law talking about?"
