In the blacksmith shop on the other side, Shi Wuxin is still practicing the hammer method, Wu Tieniu is sitting on the side and pointing, yesterday it was still necessary to correct it from time to time, but today it is only early in the morning that a few points have been slightly emphasized, and there has been nothing wrong until now, Wu Tieniu has been staring at it for a long time, at this time he seems to remember the past, his eyes are blank and looking out of the house, his expression is very sad, Shi Wuxin glanced at him and saw this scene, and he didn't bother with anything, but sighed secretly.

In the past two days, Shi Wuxin has seen this expression more than once, and at first he was curious to ask, but Wu Tieniu just sighed but did not answer, and as this hammer method became more and more familiar, Shi Wuxin felt more and more that this ability was rare, and he often wondered why a person with such a skill was only nested in such a small shop, but he did not fight for a reputation, but Wu Tieniu did not say whether he was alive or dead, and Shi Wuxin could only put it down and not ask.

At this time, if Shi Wuxin was here in Piaoxiang Building, he would definitely find that Sanniang's face had the same look as Wu Tieniu's, and he recalled scenes of the past in his mind, and Shen Sanniang slowly talked about the past with the two.

"This Rongjin City is called the Great Wilderness City, although the city is not big, but not far from Xizhou, there are many people, the business is very easy to do, the leader of the city is named Zheng Qianjun, although this person is a little greedy for money, but not greedy, everyone on weekdays to honor him some silver taels will be sent away. ”

"Although the people in the city are not as moist as the merchants' lives, but the shops are better, and the people are not short of places to live, and there was a great good man in the city at that time, named Xu Huaicai, nearly half of the shops in the city are leased from his hands, the richest man in the city, usually nothing to help the people, if the business has a big and small affair, he also tries his best to help, and the work under him is much stronger than elsewhere, in general, the life in the city is considered to be happy. ”

However, three years ago, a blood refining monk named Zhou Huai came here, and as soon as he came here, he built a mountain villa outside the city as a place to stay, and then he didn't know how to win over Zheng Qianjun and changed the name of the city to Rongjin City, and the nightmare began there. ”

Speaking of this, Sanniang's face obviously showed a trace of horror, and then she stroked her chest before continuing.

One day, Zhou Huai and Zheng Qianjun summoned the people in the city to announce the matter, and listened to their tone as if they were working for a mysterious organization, the two first forcibly expelled the people in the city by force, and then said to the merchants in the city that the organization was going to requisition the city to gather some money and make a business, so that everyone needed to pay a part of the income every month according to the different stores, saying that it was a part, but he reported that the monthly amount to be paid was all of our previous monthly profits. ”

In fact, many people have accepted their fate in their hearts, just thinking that they will collect less, but Zhou Huai, who was killed that day, killed the killer without saying a word, and asked his subordinates to kill all the people who came out at that time, leaving only Xu Huaicai alone. ”

"It's just that many shopkeepers in the city are Xu Huaicai's apprentices earlier, and no one in the city doesn't remember his goodness, so he left his life to blackmail everyone, and among the people who were killed at that time was Sanniang's husband. ”

Ye Shaobai and the two knew that Sanniang still had a husband, hearing that Huang Fuming shook his head and sighed, Ye Shaobai was just blocked in his heart, and there was no change on his face, Sanniang said that he was sad and indignant at this point, shed a few tears, and then raised his sleeves to wipe away the tears, and continued to preach:

"At that time, I wanted to fight with the thief and go to Jiuquan to accompany my father-in-law, but I was dragged by Brother Tie Niu, Brother Tie Niu is the black man in the blacksmith shop next door, we played urine childhood sweethearts, and then I met Xianggong, attracted by his talent, and married him. ”

"But I never knew that Brother Tie Niu had always had affection for me, until after that tragedy, one day he was drunk and said it all, I didn't know, if it weren't for me, Brother Tie Niu would not have returned to this Rongjin City and opened such a small façade to live, but in my heart, except for Xianggong, I can't tolerate anyone else, so I can only fail him. ”

After explaining the relationship between the two, Sanniang returned to the topic.

"After that bloody method, most people have no intention of resisting, and some are reluctant to obey, Zhou Huai threatens the important people around him, just because he is afraid that he will kill them all, and it is useless to stay in this empty city, just Xu Huaicai's life will hold too many people hostage, Brother Tie Niu is naturally because I don't dare to come out, everyone can only comply. After this incident, the two hired some people to demolish the houses in the city, and then grabbed some shopkeepers from nowhere, so that they became the current street full of shops. ”

"But how can everyone be willing to give him his life like this, and he thought of running away when he couldn't resist, but he didn't think that there were secret sentinels around the city to guard day and night, and those who escaped were all arrested and tortured, not to mention, Zheng Qianjun also claimed that if he ran again, he would be buried in the whole city, so that everyone was completely dead. ”

"But how do you know that it's not enough to sell their lives, if any business is not very good this month, they will kill their relatives at every turn, if they don't have relatives, they will be half-disabled, and they will be crippled, but fortunately, after I hit this restaurant, the business is even better than before, in addition to what I paid, I can also give Brother Tie Niu a lot, and I have nothing missing. ”

"But other shops are not all so lucky, like the old bustard in Nayi Hongyuan, we call her Sister Qiu, everyone knows that Qinglou is easy to make money, and the thief sets him the largest amount every month, but because he doesn't pay enough money, I don't know how many girls were killed, and now the rest is half of the past. ”

In this way, everyone was unwilling to accept their fate, so they had other thoughts, there have always been many cultivators in this city, and there are many righteous and awe-inspiring young heroes, who are encouraged by people with hearts, so they want to draw their swords to help, but who knows that Zhou Huai Zheng Qianjun and the two are too powerful, and the people who go are gone. ”

"Once, a group of six people, all classmates from a college in Xizhou, didn't even see Zhou Huai's face, so they were surrounded and killed by Zheng Qianjun and his soldiers, and the people who were encouraged afterwards were also killed to show the public, so everyone was discouraged again, until now. ”

After talking about the past, Sanniang looked at Ye Shaobai and seemed to remember something, and laughed self-deprecatingly:

"When I saw you make a move yesterday, I thought about it again, but I didn't want you to fight with the thieves, I just thought about whether I could take me and Brother Tie Niu to escape from the city, but I remembered that a few days ago I heard Brother Tie Niu say that Zhou Huai's organization sent eight blood refining monks here, although I usually don't see it, but there are monks guarding the secret posts at the city gates, if you miss Sanniang's life, don't want it, but if I hurt you again, I will definitely not go in my heart, and I have no idea. ”

Ye Shaobai didn't say anything, but he thought to himself for a while and asked: "Then if Zhou Huai and the others imprisoned you just to earn them some silver, would they be in such a position, these merchants just ran away, and then went to catch some elsewhere, why are they so strictly guarded?"

Sanniang also felt justified when she heard it, but she couldn't say the reason, so Huang Fuming sighed and said:

"When I was in my hometown, I heard a little about the current situation of the Wu clan, it is said that the Wu Emperor only cares about cultivation, and does not care about the life or death of the people, so the thieves are so rampant, and that Zhou Huai is so cautious, I think I am also afraid that if the people in the city run out, the wind is too loud, and the Wu Emperor has to take care of the people's feelings. ”

At that time, even if his organization is powerful, he will have to shrink his hands and feet, and he will not be able to plan anything big. ”

Huang Fu Ming is a royal family in the end, and other things may be stupid, but he has seen too many of these intrigues, although this speculation is not far away, Zhou Huai and others are afraid that the people's complaints will be too big to make the witch emperor difficult to do.

But if it's just the people in this city, it's nothing, the fact is that it's not just this city, the organization controls many cities at the same time, if you run people out, it will affect the whole body, so it's so cautious.

Ye Shaobai nodded secretly when he listened, and wrote down many truths in his heart, Sanniang also listened to it deeply, and her impression of Huang Fuming was a little better, so that Huang Fuming immediately said angrily after analyzing it:

"Villains are rampant, this blue sky and white sun is really without the king's law, although I know that my skills are slight, but I can't see this evil thing as if I don't see it, I will definitely go to confront it, even if I give up my life to spray his blood red, so that the villains know that there is still righteousness between heaven and earth. With that, he turned around angrily and wanted to leave.

Seeing this, Sanniang hurriedly got up to pull it up, but Ye Shaobai didn't move, only stretched out a crystal vine and tied it back, no matter how it struggled, it didn't seem to see, Sanniang dissuaded:

"Why are you so reckless, I just said that the six monks were all folded in Zheng Qianjun's hands, not to mention that you are alone, I am afraid that you can't even see the faces of those two, even if you add Shaobai and the black boy, there are only three people, and the thief has become ten people, isn't it in vain to die. ”

Seeing that Huang Fuming ignored it completely, he still struggled and continued:

"Listen to me, two months ago, Zhou Huai told everyone, claiming that there will be enough money in a few months, and then we will all regain our freedom, if you go now, don't say that you will be sent to death, and you will also cause everyone in the city to suffer, won't you become a sinner, don't do something stupid. ”

said so, but Sanniang never believed that she was still free in this life, so she had no choice but to speak out to dissuade him, until Huang Fuming couldn't hear it well and hurt others, so he was honest.
