Next to a tomb outside Sizhou County, Li Yi was kneeling with incense, candles, and paper money purchased from the city.

He carefully added them to the fire one by one.

The flames flickering in the wind licked the yellow paper money like a gentle tongue until they turned to black ashes.

It was the same flame, but it was so gentle and quiet at this time, and the flames that burned down his home at the beginning were like tyrannical beasts.

In addition to the Li family, many homes were also robbed by the mob.

His parents and sister were also buried here afterwards by the officials in the city.

Li Yi did not have the slightest gratitude to the government for burying his parents and sister.

When the mob stormed into their homes, the officials and officials of the government who were usually high-ranking in the government hid and did not dare to show their heads.

Afterwards, the inhabitants of the city complained to them about the cruelty of the mob, but they ignored it on the grounds that the mob had left.

And the families who were robbed in the city did not receive any explanation from the government.

It wasn't until a few days later that the bodies of the looted families began to stink and the people complained, so they hastily disposed of the bodies of the dead and buried them in this mass grave outside the city.

At that time, Li Yi followed those servants and servants all the way, and watched them bury their parents and sister here wrapped in straw mats.

"Dad, mother, sister! I am back! ”

Li Yi's voice was crying at this time, but he was trying to suppress it.

When his father and sister were still alive, they often warned him that as a man, he should have tears and not flick.

He didn't know if his father and sister in the tomb would be able to hear what he was saying.

"My son didn't die in a catastrophe, but fortunately the master rescued him and taught him martial arts, and now the child is already a man who stands up to the sky."

He whispered as he added paper money.

"This time, when my son comes back, he must investigate the whereabouts of the mob back then, and his son must take revenge."

The paper money in Li Yi's hand had been deformed by him, and the bitter hatred in his tone was like a cold wind, making the burning fire sway.

As the flames swayed, a gust of wind swept over the wilderness full of tombs, and the surrounding wild grass also shook, as if they felt Li Yi's murderous aura and trembled.

Li Yi didn't know how powerful hatred was, but the matter of Yi Zhongdao told him that hatred can make people die at any cost.

And Li Yi felt that if he encountered that group of mobs one day, he would choose to fight to the death like Yi Chongdao.

"I will definitely avenge you, I will! Don't worry. ”

Li Yi whispered softly, his tone low and depressed.

This small voice quickly dissipated in the sky above this tomb with the sound of the wind, as if it had reached the ears of those dead souls underground, and it seemed that Li Yi had just said it to himself.

After paying tribute to his parents, Li Yi returned to Sizhou County with mixed feelings.

He didn't look for it as soon as possible, he was the fourth senior brother Jing Zizheng, but went to an inn to stay.

Fortunately, he made a little money by escorting Yang Ping before, otherwise the little money given by Tai Jizi when he went out of the mountain would not be enough at all.

The reason why he wants to live in the inn is because the inn restaurant is a place where the three religions and nine streams converge, and there are all kinds of people here.

And there is certainly no shortage of ruffians and hooligans in such places.

Li Yi is looking for these ruffians to ask about what happened five years ago.

But don't underestimate these ruffians, sometimes their energy is greater than that of the local government, especially when looking for people and asking questions.

After checking into the inn, he put his baggage and two spears in the house, then went downstairs to order a table of good food, and then generously auctioned out a silver ticket with a large denomination.

This heroic gesture shocked the surrounding diners to cast strange glances.

Although most of these eyes were contempt and disdain, Li Yi didn't care, his purpose was just to attract the attention of some people.

For example, outside the inn, a beggar was sitting in the corner of the wall holding a broken bowl and begging.

After a meal, Li Yi got up and left the inn, he walked staggeringly, and from time to time he looked at the goods sold by the surrounding stalls.

He just walked and stopped, and the beggar behind him followed him all the way and stopped.

After a short time, he walked into a deep alley, which was very remote and rarely walked in.

Li Yi walked into the alley and pretended to untie his pants and release the water.

Before he could untie his belt, a smiling voice came from the mouth of the alley.

"This little brother, meeting is fate, brother, I see you very kind, now brother, I am a little short of money, and I hope that my little brother will borrow some money to spend."

The beggar now changed from the low-minded posture he had begged before.

"You say that you are a beggar, rob and rob what literati to drag literature, and when you meet, you have fate, do you say it is a good fate or a bad fate?"

Li Yi said with a disdainful face,

"If you know each other, it's a good fate, and if you don't know what to do, it's a bad fate."

The beggar said playfully with a raised brow.

"Even if you want to learn to rob someone with thin arms and legs, I'm afraid that I will kill you if you are not careful."

Li Yi squeezed his hand, and there was a clicking sound at the joints.

The beggar's face changed, but he didn't back down.

"The kid seems to be toasting and not eating and drinking, you and I Feng Laosan are easy to bully."

The beggar named Feng Laosan put his finger in his mouth as he spoke, ready to whistle.

Li Yi knew that a bunch of beggars and scoundrels would definitely come next.

Feng Laosan's whistle is the same as the cup smashing in the book.

According to the normal development in the book, a big war will follow, but Li Yi doesn't want to bother with that.

Besides, beating these beggars and ruffians who don't have enough to eat every day, Li Yi doesn't have any sense of accomplishment.

So Feng Laosan was sad, and when he just inhaled and was about to whistle, a slap was firmly on his face.

The fingers that had been stuck in his mouth were slapped and stabbed into the throat.

Suddenly, Feng Laosan felt a wave of nausea in his throat, he immediately withdrew his hand, and then began to retch.

Tears flowed from his eyes, accompanied by nausea.

"Why don't you play according to the routine?"

After retching for a while, Feng Laosan covered his face and began to scold angrily.

"What routine?"

Li Yi blinked his eyes with a puzzled expression.

Feng Laosan was also stunned on the spot by Li Yi's question in an instant.

"You should let me finish my whistle and call my companions."

Although Feng Laosan said it was reasonable, he always felt in his heart that what he said was a little inappropriate.

Li Yi was completely speechless by his remarks.

At this time, Li Yi was thinking about whether it was right or wrong for him to find a guy like Feng Laosan who had a bad brain to understand the situation back then.

However, it was also troublesome to change the target now, so he could only smile and walk towards Feng Laosan.

Feng Laosan looked at Li Yi's smiling appearance, and instantly felt that his hairs stood up.

An ominous feeling instantly surged into Feng Laosan's heart.

Then there was screaming in the alley.

Then Li Yi sat on the stone steps of the alley for a long time, and Feng Laosan squatted in front of Li Yi aggrievedly like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Feng Laosan gasped and blinked his already purple-black eyes.

At this time, his two eyes had completely turned black, like Bai Zhen in Bazhou, but Feng Laosan's bamboo-like figure could not be compared with the chubby Bai Zhen.

"Do you still want to rob me now?"

Li Yi asked with a kind face, but in Feng Laosan's opinion, his current understanding was not much different from that of Yama in the underworld.

"Zhuangshi, I don't dare to come again, you still raise your noble hand and let me go like a fart."

Feng Laosan cried, hugged his head and begged.

"It's okay to let you go, but you have to answer me some questions, and I'll let you go as long as your answers satisfy me."

Feng Laosan only understood Li Yi's true purpose at this time.

"If you have any questions, why not."

Feng Laosan's tears welled up in his eyes in an instant, and he realized at this time that Li Yi had deliberately seduced himself from the beginning.

And as a senior beggar who has been fighting in Sizhou County for so many years, he was actually tricked by a kid.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he really caught the eagle for a lifetime and was finally bitten by the eagle.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, how can you honestly cooperate with me."

The evil smile on Li Yi's face was even worse.

"Don't worry, strong man, I will know everything and say everything."

Feng Laosan immediately raised his hand and swore to the sky, but what he thought in his heart was: You kid will wait for me, and when I go back and call my brothers, I must teach you a good lesson.

Li Yi actually knew Feng Laosan's true thoughts, but he didn't care at all.

"Let me ask you, how many years have you been in this Sizhou county?"

"The little one has been in this city for more than a decade."

Seeing Li Yi nodding his head to express his satisfaction, Feng Laosan's worried heart finally settled down a little.

"So have you ever heard about the mob that entered the city five years ago?"

When Li Yi mentioned this question, his expression became solemn.

"The mob entered the city five years ago!"

Feng Laosan began to recall, and in an instant he remembered the mob massacre that shook the whole city five years ago.

"Oh! I remembered that five years ago, a mob from nowhere suddenly attacked the city and slaughtered many people in the city. ”

Li Yi's eyes instantly became fierce.

"Be specific." Li Yi immediately said eagerly.

"This incident was a sensation in the city at the time, and all of us beggars and gangsters in the city were carefully examined by the government, so I remember it very clearly."

Saying that, Feng Laosan sat cross-legged on the ground and began to tell about the original incident.

In fact, he was not at the scene of the crime at the time, but because this incident affected them, beggars and gangsters, they inquired about each other after the incident.

Five years ago, when the drought caused the entire southeastern part of the Dayu Dynasty to lose its grain harvest, a large number of people began to flock to the surrounding cities in search of a way out in order to survive.

It is said that the mob came from the counties and townships around the county seat of Sizhou.

Originally, according to the decree of the Dayu Dynasty, every famine year, local governments must open warehouses and release grain to help the people who suffered from famine when necessary.

As the largest city in the surrounding area, Sizhou County has a number of large granaries.

In addition to the tax grain collected by the government, there is also a large amount of relief grain for disaster relief.

Therefore, at that time, the people who had failed to harvest the grain in the surrounding areas poured into the county town of Sizhou, wanting to ask the government to open a warehouse for disaster relief.

At that time, the government did start to open a warehouse for disaster relief at the first time, and the people did not make any trouble.

However, the calm situation did not last a few days before things changed.

It turned out that just a few days after the disaster relief, these people who fled found that the food for disaster relief began to drop sharply, and the grain also changed from the original refined grain to moldy coarse grain.

At that time, the people reported this to the government, but the people did not receive any reply from the government.

The people could only reluctantly accept it, after all, it was a great gift from the government to have a bite to eat in the famine years and not starve to death.

But then the next thing suddenly became confusing.

At that time, some of the more radical victims suddenly appeared in the midst of this group of victims, and they were very angry at the government's inaction.

So they began to encourage the victims to continue to ask the government for explanations.

The government still did not give any answer in the face of the disturbance of this group of victims, they only dispatched official officials to drive away these victims.

The emotions of the victims of the defeat were even more agitated, and some of the victims even claimed that the government was going to starve them to death slowly.

So they began to plot a riot to loot the relief granaries and various tax warehouses.

But before they could take action, the government heard the news, and the government immediately sent a large number of officials to protect the tax warehouse and the disaster relief warehouse.

Faced with the officials, the victims knew that they could not succeed in the robbery, so they turned their targets to the wealthy families in the city.

And that night there was a horrific massacre of the rich by a mob in the city.

Overnight, many wealthy families in the entire Sizhou county were robbed and slaughtered, and the flames soared into the sky and mourned all over the city for a while.

And because most of the officials were guarding the tax barns and disaster relief barns at that time, the officials did not dare to intervene to stop the atrocities of the mob.

The mob ravaged the city and then fled in style, and the government never came forward.

Because the atrocities of this group of victims were so brutal, other surrounding counties and towns did not dare to let him enter the city.

After that, they wandered in the wilderness for more than half a month, until the imperial court sent an army to exterminate them.

After slaughtering a mob of fierce resistance, most of the remaining people surrendered.

All of the mob who surrendered were condemned to exile for violating imperial decrees.

And the place of their exile was the northern border of Cyprus, and all of them were used as hard labor to serve their sentences for life.

After listening to Feng Laosan's account, Li Yi fell into a long silence.

Feng Laosan on the side looked at Li Yi who was deep in thought, and he was thinking about whether he should take this opportunity to escape from the clutches of this evil star as soon as possible.
