"Young man, what did you do to come in again?"

Underground prison of the city guard.

Next door to Li Mubai's cell.

A gray-haired old man, after seeing Xiao Li leave, looked at Li Mubai, who had just come in, and asked.

"I offended the gang, and I was convicted of a false crime by the people of the city guard, and I was unjustly imprisoned."

Li Mubai found a relatively dry place, sat down, looked at the old man at the same time, and said truthfully.

I only found out when I looked at it.

The gray-headed old man next door looks old and frail.

But his face is not at all like an old man in his sixties and seventies, but more like a middle-aged man in his forties, who has encountered some major setbacks, which has broken his heart and turned gray.

"Hey... Sure enough. ”

After listening to Li Mubai's self-complaint, the old man sighed from afar, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his faint old eyes.

"This fellow inmate, I don't think you have an old countenance, at most 50. Why do you turn gray at such an age? ”

Listening to the old man's tone, Li Mubai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You're right, I'm only forty-six years old this year, and I just turned old a few days ago. As for why the white head? ”

The old man suddenly sneered and said dejectedly:

"The future is bleak, and the family is ruined. It's hard not to think about it..."

Listening to the desolation in the old man's words, Li Mubai couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Listening to your tone, was he also wrongfully imprisoned?"

Hahaha...

The old man burst out laughing.

Then his eyes burned, he looked directly at Li Mubai, and then his eyes swept over the entire dungeon, and he said with a serious face:

"Who can be locked up here is not unjustly imprisoned?"

"It is said that money is the guts of people, and these people who are being detained now are almost without exception poor people who can't afford to pay the money, so they are locked up here."

"Those who paid the money were bailed out a long time ago."

"What's more, some people rape women and disregard people's lives, and they can be smuggled out at the expense."

The more the old man spoke, the more excited his tone became.

"In the front cell, the blind man covered in abscesses, he just accidentally bumped into a rich man, and he has been locked up here for two years. Looking at him like that, he hasn't been on board for two years. ”

"And the one who came into the second cell, the unseemly old lame man who had been gnawed by rats. But for the time being, he didn't have the money to pay the booth fee, so he was caught here by the gang, what's wrong with him? If you don't have money, you don't set up a stall, why arrest people? I was gnawed by a mouse two days ago, and I don't care about these unconscionables, so it seems that it's just a matter of these two days. ”

"And over there..."

Suddenly.

The old man paused, looked back at Li Mubai again, his eyes were full of tears, and he asked tremblingly:

"Hou Sheng, do you say that with such a law, we poor people dare to break the law?"

Looking at the poor and helpless old man, Li Mubai couldn't help but feel shocked.

This world.

Completely different from the previous life.

The strong are supreme, standing on the top of the mountain and looking up at the starry sky, but never looking at the world below.

The aristocratic autocracy is passed down from generation to generation, and the wealth of future generations will last forever.

The rich and powerful, playing with the common people, are like hateful mosquitoes, greedily sucking human blood.

For these privileges and nobles, Li Mubai was mentally prepared from the beginning.

That's why he has to work hard to practice.

Isn't it to be a giant elephant, not an ant that can be trampled to death by someone unintentionally?

Listen to the old man today.

Li Mubai realized that this world was actually far more complicated than he understood.

At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart.

With such a complex and changeable world, it is too difficult to make a difference!

Then.

The old man told his own story again.

He was originally a small accomplished businessman, although he was not a big businessman, but he could also make money with his craft.

Because of its own flat-headed people, one.

Therefore, the old man is very self-aware to control the output of the goods he sells, and he is very careful.

I'm afraid that the profits of this thing will attract some unclean people when the time comes, and it will make the family restless.

But the good times didn't last long.

Even if the old man suppressed the quantity of goods in this way, some people still smelled a lucrative opportunity.

So someone came to the door and proposed to buy his ancestral craft.

Ancestral craftsmanship is the ability to eat, which can be passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, the old man would not agree to the other party's request.

But.

Within a few days, another visit was made.

It is said to be purchased at a markup.

However, the price given by the other party is hardly convincing.

This time.

The old man naturally refused sternly.

However.

That's it.

It brought ruin to his family.

There was no advance warning of threats and intimidation.

One night.

The other party directly entered the house in the middle of the night, took control of his old man's family, and then threatened him to hand over the ancestral craft.

The old man didn't believe that the other party could do anything.

But I never expected it.

The other party actually started a ruthless attack in front of him and beat his family members severely.

Helpless.

For the sake of his family's health, he had to give up all his skills.

After the other party verifies the authenticity.

The old man thought that the other party would let his family go.

I never expected that.

In order to ensure the uniqueness of this secret recipe, the other party directly framed the guy against him.

In the end, he was arrested in this city guard.

There was no investigation, and the people in the city guard center were directly detained and tortured to extract confessions.

Eventually, he was imprisoned.

After speaking.

The old man seriously persuaded Li Mubai again:

"In the future, if you have money, you must not be stingy, you should take it out as soon as possible, and when the next time the person who delivers the food arrives, give the money to these people, and maybe you can get out of trouble as soon as possible."

The old man looked around the prison and shook his head:

"This place is not for people at all. Even if it's a normal person, come here. As time went on, he either went mad or got tuberculosis, and soon died. The key is that there is still a mouse bite when it is dead, and there is no whole corpse left. ”

At last.

The old man sighed, his face full of disappointment:

"Now I am disappointed in this Martial Spirit City. It seems to be orderly here, but in fact there is no law. Others say that you can pick up money with sacks here, but when you really come, you will find that it is completely different. If you can go out in your lifetime, you will never come again. ”

"This fellow inmate, is this Martial Spirit City really disappointing?"

Li Mubai asked seriously.

The old man laughed: "What's more than disappointing? It's totally hopeless! Here, even half of the Heaven Dou Empire can't compare. ”

"Fellow inmate, you might as well believe in Wuhun City again. Maybe after tomorrow, it will have a new look. ”

Li Mubai is full of confidence.

Regarding Li Mubai's words, the old man just sneered, and didn't take them to heart at all.

How can you be convincing with your own words?

The experiences of these years have already taught the old man a truth.

Dog... You can't change eating.
