Chapter 070: The Duties of the Aristocrats
The dawn peeks out of the sky, and the morning fog gradually dissipates in the cool breeze.
Laiyan City seemed very quiet at this moment, and the people walking through the mist unconsciously relaxed their steps, as if they were afraid of waking up something. Most of the people walking briskly on the streets now are civilians carrying vegetable baskets, and even if they meet acquaintances, they just nod their heads, then exchange complicated looks, and then hurry home.

On the main road, an aristocratic carriage marked with a bauhinia logo was moving at a constant speed, heading towards Nangang.
Soon, the car stopped at a place called Riverside Street. Two women and one man got out of the car, and it was clear from the clothes that all three were the children of the nobility, and the first person was Josia whom we were familiar with.
"Josia, is this where you are in a hurry this morning?" the aristocratic young man frowned as he looked at the filthy surroundings.
"Yes!" replied Josia, who was mild-mannered and a little heroic.
"But this is the slums, what are we doing here?" said another woman in a long dress, unhappily.
Because of the continuous rain in the previous days, and the fact that it has always been gloomy these days, this potholed riverside street has accumulated a lot of water, and such an environment is undoubtedly hated by the dressed woman, because it will ruin her beloved long dress.
Josia said helplessly: "I didn't call you here, you came with me." ”
"Uh......"
"Huh?" Josia snapped, as if she had seen something, and suddenly walked forward quickly.
The two aristocratic men and women glanced at each other helplessly, and followed. The man was better, but the woman had to carefully carry the long skirt step by step to look at the place and then put her feet, feeling like a minesweeper.
At this moment, a half-collapsed house appeared in front of him, and a group of civilians in coarse cloth were half-surrounded, and moaning sounds were heard from time to time.
"Give me a bandage...... No, then bring me a white cloth. ”
"Get me another basin of clean water. ”
“...... Well, here's the money, little John, can you help my sister go to the treatment hall and buy some trauma medicine and bandages?"

A slightly anxious female voice kept coming out of the crowd, as if it was a doctor.
"Did something happen?" Josia stepped closer.
"Uh, Miss Josia?" the woman was about to get up to wash her towel when she looked up and saw Josia.
"Are you...... Lena?" "Magicians generally have good memories, and Josia quickly remembered the woman she had met here yesterday.
"Well, yes. ”
"Uh, what's going on here?" asked Josia in surprise.
Then she saw four or five bloodstained people lying on the ground behind Lena, and it was from them that the moans of pain came from.
Lina's face showed anger: "Yesterday, that group of people came again, and they wanted to drive everyone away, but everyone disagreed." The group took out their sticks and beat them, and Uncle George's leg was broken, and Aunt Susan's head was broken......"
"What!" Josia opened her mouth with anger on her face, "how can they hit someone?"
"It's more than that. These damn rascals......" Aunt Susan, who was lying on the ground, pressed her right hand on her head, covering a white cloth with blood stains, and said angrily, "They said this was just a warning, and if you don't move out, you will be beaten to death next time you come." ”
Josia blushed: "They dare, I'll go find them now." ”
"It's useless. "They say it's a decision made by the big names of the city government." ”
"Nonsense!" Josia said angrily, "I went back to check last night, and the city government clearly stipulated that the demolition fee should be compensated according to the area. ”...,
