Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and without hesitation, they rushed to the left behind the stone wall of the council hall under the leadership of the soldiers.

In a short time, everyone had already walked down the steps and entered a more huge underground space, only to see blood flowing on the ground, the smell of blood was permeating, and there were corpses lying all over the ground, men, women and children, the death was miserable, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Seeing such a scene, everyone immediately thought of the word "chop" that Zeng Pingshan shouted when he was caught. It turns out that this is the case, this person is also really ruthless, and he does not leave the slightest way out for his own people, since he has no hope, then others do not want to live, it is extremely vicious.

Everyone estimates that the secret Zeng Pingshan said should be this.

For such a scene, they have seen a lot, except for the madness that shocked Zeng Pingshan, and then scolded him for not being a human, a son of a bitch, a wolf's heart and lungs, etc., there is nothing else.

Although Luo Xing and the other four little brothers have already witnessed death, and they have killed many people today, such a scene is definitely too stinging, too cruel, and it is simply a tragic killing, and a burst of nausea surged up, one by one, his brows were locked, his teeth were clenched, and his fists were clenched.

Beside him, the dozen or so bandits who were tied up did not seem to have the slightest sense of guilt, but were unusually calm. In the subsequent interrogation, he did not waste his words.

It turned out that these dead people were all the family members of the robbers, even if Zeng Pingshan was arrested, these dozen robbers still carried out his orders, the reason is that these dozen people are all people who do no evil, and then they were saved by Zeng Pingshan, and they were promised to benefit from money, and they were obedient to their words and extremely loyal, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are dead.

A moment later, these dozen people were also executed on the spot, because in Gu Quan's opinion, this kind of person must not be left.

At this time, another soldier came to report the situation.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly followed the report soldiers.

In the passage to the right side of the chamber is the living area, where a large number of materials are placed, eating, wearing, using, all kinds of daily necessities are complete, and the construction is very reasonable, and the air above the cooking is actually taken out of a lot of space, so that the smoke can stay on it, so as not to make the entire underground space full of smoke.

Inside this room, a stone door was already open, and it took a short time for everyone to reach a dark space, where dozens of iron cages were fixed, and the thickness of the iron bars was nearly an inch.

After asking the four protectors, the result was that I still didn't know, even if I didn't ask the reason for the torture, I only knew that it was recently transported here and assembled.

Although everyone was puzzled, there was nothing they could do. I can't help but think again, is this the secret that Zeng Pingshan said? But what exactly are these cages for? What is it used for? Why doesn't everyone know?

The entire underground space can be described as having an offensive and defensive layout, a reasonable structure, everything that should be thought of, and such an underground space was actually built by these people who controlled many people, and they were all killed after it was built.

There are two doors behind the stone wall of the council hall, one is the residence of Zeng Pingshan and the four protectors, and the second door goes straight up and there is a stone door, which has been locked.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, everyone came to the locked door, Gu Quan remembered that he had found a key on Zeng Pingshan's body, and went directly to try it, only to hear a "click", and the lock was opened.

When everyone entered this room, they were all stunned.

In front of him, twenty boxes were placed neatly side by side, and Gu Quan immediately ordered the soldiers: "Come on, open the lid of the box." ”

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward and opened the lids of the boxes.

As far as the eye could see, the eyes of everyone present widened.

A dozen chests were full of ingots of copper, silver, and gold.

The remaining six boxes contained medicinal herbs, one box of metal, and one small box of jewelry.

And on an elevated shelf, a small box, after opening, everyone exclaimed in unison, it turned out to be purple gold, and there were as many as twenty taels.

Other boxes were full of pills, but the best was the best.

On this continent, there are four currencies in common, copper and copper ingots, silver, gold, and purple gold, and the exchange between each other is that one tael of purple gold is equivalent to a thousand taels of gold, one tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equivalent to ten taels of copper ingots.

This kind of exchange is based on the concentration of aura contained in the metal, as well as the purity of the aura, the best is purple gold, not only contains a thousand times the amount of gold, but also extremely high purity.

Since money is made of metal, metals are refined from minerals, and there are many conditions for the formation of minerals, but the most basic situation is that it can only be formed by the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth.

Therefore, these currencies all contain corresponding spiritual energy for people to cultivate and absorb, with copper containing the least and purple gold containing the most, but it has to be said that all have corresponding value.

However, some people have questioned whether it is enough to directly ingest the aura in minerals? The official and some masters answer that the ore blocks the release of spiritual energy, and it is not easy to be absorbed by cultivators, and can only be refined to achieve the greatest effect.

Due to the varying concentration and purity of the aura, and the vast majority of people could not withstand such consumption, copper and silver were circulated as pure currency. Of course, if you continue to break through, you can also choose a large amount of copper and silver to absorb aura.

On the mainland, there are many types of metals, but only these four metals can ensure that the aura is contained after being formed, unlike other metals that no longer retain the aura after forming. This is also why, from the beginning of the transaction on this continent, to the establishment of a family, or even an empire, those rulers in order to be able to better control the people, only to choose such metal items as a transaction to circulate in the world, so that people flock to it, because people have a goal, pursuit, that is, a word of desire, the empire will profit from it, form a complete bond of interests, and the country will be more stable.

In addition to the four metals that are used as currency, the other metals are made into weapons, and there are the following types of metals in order of toughness and rarity.

Iron, Ink Iron, Ink Steel, Flame Iron, Red Iron, Cold Iron, Meteorite Iron.

Several Dharma protectors told them that not all of this wealth was plundered, but that these people were lucky enough to dig up a lot of treasure when they were digging here, and that was why they had accumulated so much wealth.

Everyone also sighed that this group of people had a lot of luck, if they didn't become robbers, do some business in a down-to-earth manner, and be diligent in cultivation, they wouldn't have become what they are now.

Liu Dafu looked at the boxes of medicinal materials, and immediately pounced, holding the boxes with his left hand, and stroking the words "Medicine Liu" in the lower right corner of the box with his right hand tremblingly, and muttered: "Look at these boxes, there are marks of my family, these are the medicinal materials that Zeng Pingshan robbed my family, no wonder my father is so angry." ”

Everyone sighed in unison when they heard this, and Luo Xing hurriedly stepped forward to support Liu Dafu's shoulder and comforted: "Brother, everything has passed, I will ask everyone in a moment if you agree to bring these medicinal materials home." ”

When Gu Quan heard this, he smiled and said, "Anyway, I have no opinion, but I have a proposal for these treasures." After speaking, he turned his head to look at the people present.

Everyone looked at him with inquiring eyes, waiting for the next step.

I only heard Gu Quan say again: "Without the life and death experience of these little brothers, Dean Tian would not have caught Li Shizhong, and without Li Shizhong, it would be impossible for us to find here, annihilate the Wolf Gang in one fell swoop, and find so many treasures." In this battle, we also killed a lot of brothers, and my heart is also extremely sad, so I propose that the compensation of my brothers be completed first, so that the brothers can rest assured, and then how about the rest? After all, I have promised my brothers, and I guess you can't let me, the lord of the city, break my promise. Of course, those medicinal materials still have to be returned to their original owners. ”

Everyone replied in unison that there was no problem, after all, there were many treasures here, enough for everyone to share.

And Dean Chu secretly scolded an old treacherous and cunning, but in front of these many people, he couldn't say it.

Luo Xing and the others went to the west, bowed a few times, and mourned a few words of Gao Jun, and felt a little lonely.

After a long time, everyone present was smiling, because everyone had a lot of money.

It's just that Luo Xing and a few people really couldn't be happy.

The money and belongings of the four little brothers were all put away by Dean Chu, saying that they would be distributed again at the academy.

When everything is done, everyone suddenly realizes a serious problem, and after they and others are gone, what will happen to this underground world?

Smashed, alas.

If you don't destroy it, if someone comes here one day, it will definitely be a disaster.

After some discussion, everyone still chose to destroy it in time, and the matter was handed over to the city lord Gu to deal with it with all his powers.

After a short time, City Lord Gu had already finished his order.

The soldiers first burned all the robbers' corpses inside, and then picked off a few stones from the walls here, and then sent troops to pour a large amount of water into the place, until the soil gradually softened, and finally it would inevitably collapse.

This time, because Gu Quan used a large number of troops to transport water here, the people learned that the wolf gang that was originally the party to the disaster was hiding under the ground in the mountains. It can be seen that City Lord Gu has never forgotten to exterminate the bandits, and he can even find such a secret place, and he can even think of how difficult that battle was.

Since then, there have been no unfavorable words from the people to the city lord, and they all give a thumbs up and deeply admire it, especially on such a continent, it is a blessing for the people to have such a city lord to protect the safety of one party.

It wasn't until decades later that the entire huge underground space really collapsed, and the mountains above also sank a lot, causing a sensation.

In a short time, the soldiers had taken all the applications and remaining treasures out of the ground.

At this time, the happiest person is Gu City Lord, the problem that has been plagued for several years has finally been solved today, and there is still a huge harvest, because his own share is the most, and he said that there are still many follow-up things to deal with, which need to be done by soldiers, and soldiers also need silver.

Gu Quandao: "Peng Zhi, after going back, put these people on death row, strictly guard, and then go to me to get the instructions, before the evening of the day after tomorrow, the compensation for all the sacrificed brothers will be distributed, if one family does not do well, you can come to see it, you can't let the brothers lose their lives, and they can't live in peace under Jiuquan, and if there is a family member who is not in this city, register it in time, and report it to me at that time." ”

Peng Zhi said without hesitation: "Yes, city lord"

On the top of the mountain after everyone left, a person who was extremely tightly wrapped in black clothes only revealed a pair of green cold eyes, and then disappeared into the night with a cold snort.

Halfway through, Gu Quan praised the bravery of the four Luo Xing brothers, and even told the brothers that if they wanted, every year in the spring after the New Year, the empire will recruit soldiers, and it is possible to go to the front line to experience, and then you can go directly to the city lord's mansion to find him, and finally make it clear that the battlefield is the best place to train people.

Luo Xing was very interested, but he knew that now was not the time, and the other people had no idea for the time being.

Dean Chu pulled Gu Quan aside and said softly, "Brother Gu, you have played well with this hand, you have to report this matter to the empire when you return to the mansion, right?" At that time, not only will a part of the tax be exempted, but there will also be a large amount of subsidy to you... ”

Gu Quan hurriedly interrupted Dean Chu's words, and also said softly: "Brother Chu, don't worry, I originally thought that there were too many people to talk about it at this time, and I was going to find you again in the future, but you are in a hurry, don't worry." ”

"I remember." As he spoke, Dean Chu handed Gu Quan a note and said, "This is the home of Zeng Pingshan and the four Dharma protector children in Mocheng, they are all pretending family members, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, you can collect them yourself." ”

"Okay."

"Also, so many pills."

"Brother Chu, you are also shrewd, don't worry, I know it all in my heart."

Dean Chu smiled and nodded, but did not speak.

Gu Quandao: "Brother Chu, there is one more thing, I heard that Liu Youcai's family got some medicinal herbs out of nowhere, and they are going to be auctioned, you... As he spoke, he whispered very softly.

"Uh-huh, well, I remember, thank you."

After Dean Chu nodded and wrote it down, Gu Quan deliberately said loudly: "No, no, no, Dean Chu is too polite, this time it is thanks to you for showing your magical powers, otherwise, our losses will be even greater, let's drink together another day, remember to call Dean Ueda and a few little guys, and say goodbye." ”

Dean Chu scolded secretly, and then said: "Farewell, all the brothers have also worked hard, go back and rest early." ”

At this point, Dean Chu and the others said goodbye to each other and rushed back to Mocheng Academy.

Gu Quan watched Dean Chu and the others leave, thinking about something in his heart.

Early the next morning, many people stayed at the bulletin board on the right side of the Castle Lord's Mansion because there were two notices posted here.

One of them, two words on the book, notice. The content is: Over the past few years, bandits have been rampant, the sky is angry and people are resentful, the people can't sleep at night, and there are many worries about traveling, which seriously threatens the peace around our desert city, and the people are full of complaints, and they have not been calmed down for many years. It is all because Zeng Pingshui, the commander of the garrison, and Zeng Pingshan, the leader of the bandits, are brothers, both of them belong to the raccoon dog of the same hill, and they are embarrassed and treacherous, colluding inside and outside, and they are the one side of the disaster. Recently, there is a city lord of the city, strict investigation of secret visits, and finally yesterday night, in one fell swoop, the bandit was exterminated, the leader of the wolf gang was also immediately beheaded on the spot, hoping that the people rushed to tell each other, and the official road in the north and south of Molian Mountain has been safe and passable.

Later, it was written, and the Mocheng City Lord's Mansion was announced, covered with a bright red seal.

The second notice reads: In view of the fact that the bandits have been eliminated and the rest of the leaders are currently in prison, they will march for half a day from tomorrow and behead them at noon in Dongshi.

Later, it was written, and the city lord's mansion of Mocheng was proclamated, covered by a bright red seal.

Since this matter was related to Mocheng Academy, the notice was not written in too much detail, so as not to cause trouble to the academy and Luo Xing and others, and cause trouble. Therefore, after the victory of the class teacher last night, Dean Chu and other talents left the team halfway and returned to Mocheng first.

After all the soldiers returned last night, Gu Quan issued a gag order, strictly ordering everyone, if anyone asked, he said that the city lord worked day and night, never slackened this matter, and his subordinates were even more conscientious, so as to really find out the origin of the matter and eliminate the bandits. However, those who leak other information will be severely punished and their families will be harmed.

Those soldiers have received a lot of gold and silver, and it is too late to rejoice, who will go and gossip and add distress to their families.

Outside the Mocheng prison, many people were already watching on both sides of the road, and there were many discussions. Because everyone wants to know the truth of those two notices, and they also want to see the remaining leaders of the wolf gang, who are the people who can evade the city lord's pursuit for so many years.

For Zeng Pingshui's family, Gu Quan took some gold and silver to his home, and let his wife and children leave Mocheng overnight to make a living elsewhere.

But Gu Quan found that Zeng Pingshui's family didn't seem so sad after getting a large sum of silver, but was a little happy.

At midnight the next day, the prisoner car carrying Zeng Pingshui's five people set off from the prison and slowly passed through the city.

The streets were unusually noisy, and hundreds of people were standing.

Along the way, no matter where the prisoner truck went, endless accusations and insults lingered in the ears.

The five people in the prisoner car, with their heads bowed, allowed the people to insult and throw debris at will, sometimes with dull eyes and sometimes with their eyes closed.

Some of the people even took sticks and threw them at the five men, but the five of them endured in silence without any anger, only frowning occasionally.

"In a world like now, there are not many people like this, this is the real fight back, scolding and scolding, everyone work hard, fight hard."

Until it was almost noon, the prisoner car carried five people to the East City to cut the platform, one by one kneeling on the ground, hanging a wooden sign in front of him, which read, sinners wolf gang evil bandits big protector, sinners wolf gang evil bandits two protectors, sinner Zeng Pingshui...

Luo Xing and the others also stood in the middle of the people in the audience at this time.

They didn't want to come, although they slept all day yesterday and didn't wake up until the evening, and they still couldn't wake up this morning, but Dean Tian was directly ordered to forcibly take a few people to the Dharma field to behead the stage, and came to watch the incident.

At this time, the supervisor picked up an official notice and read: "Today, there are five leaders of the wolf gang and evil bandits, who are hurtful to heaven and reason, and their crimes are extremely heinous and unforgivable. Fortunately, Gu City Lord was wise and brave, resolute and brave, far-sighted, discerning, and used his troops to kill the evil bandits one by one the night before yesterday, and wiped them out, captured the leader of the evil bandits, and the world near the left side of Mocheng was clear. Today is the time to kill these last bandit leaders one by one, axeman. ”

"Yes."

Five axemen, one by one, stood behind the five men and replied at the same time.

Gu City Lord stood beside him, listening to the sycophant of this prison officer, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and his waist couldn't help but stand up and up, with a majestic momentum, looking around, with nostrils facing the sky.

When Luo Xing and the others in the audience heard this, they were stunned, the muscles on their faces trembled slightly, and they felt very uncomfortable, and they didn't know why.

The supervisor picked up the token and said, "It's noon, ask for it immediately." ”

"Click", the token was thrown to the ground.

Several knife and axe men who had finished sharpening their knives picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, took another sip and took it, sprayed it on both sides of the entire knife, and then five knives were cut down at the same time.

When the common people cut down and killed the wicked, there was also a limerick poem in the market.

The head of the wicked is left on the stage, and the man with the knife is not troubled.

Sharpen the knife, take a sip of wine, and walk cleanly.

Evil in this life, return in this life, persuade the king not to pity the wicked.

Kill the wicked, be a good man, and swear to change the clouds for the sunny sky.

The knife in his hand fell and the person carried it away, and the water was washed in a tank of blood thick, washed, bloody, thick.

The people watching from the audience applauded, the voices of joy came and went, and the praises rang out one after another: Gu City Lord, good City Lord, pay for the people. Kill the bandits, bow your head, and keep your reputation in your heart.

Luo Xing and the others watched the heads of the wicked fall to the ground, and the joyful atmosphere of the people, they felt very deep in their hearts, and couldn't help but sigh.

The lives of the living people have been ruthlessly taken away, is this the fate of the wicked? When they died, some people applauded, what are these people trying to do?

What exactly is a wicked person? What is a good person? So who is Li Shizhong?

Gu City Lord said: "Everyone, although there are many families on the mainland, the royal family of my empire has repeatedly stated that we must ensure that the local people live and work in peace and contentment, because the people are the foundation of the country, and this city lord has always adhered to this word... ”

The brothers have their own thoughts, and after reading it, they silently returned to the academy, and the city lord Gu behind him said one after another, for the sake of the people, how to set of official words.
