Chapter 2347: Mencius(2/2)
A caravan was directly destroyed, and all men, women, and children were killed, leaving no one alive.
His reason was that the amount given by the other party was wrong and was not 20% of the supplies.
As a result, all caravans had to pay another 20%.
Passers-by, including Zi Chen, gave another thousand spiritual coins.
At this moment, we are less than two hundred miles away from Mengye City, which shows how arrogant these robbers are.
The people from the caravan and passers-by gave money, and after the Black Dragon people left, everyone began to yell, scolding the caravan for cheating, causing them to lose another two dollars, and they had to die.
Zi Chen smiled after hearing this.
Such an excuse can be found at any time.
If the journey is longer, the other party may come again and give a different excuse.
Chen Fan gathered the corpses together again and lit a fire.
Zi Chen still didn't help.
The queue was still there at night, and the bonfire the two of them were at was several miles away from other places.
"Zi Chen, you will watch the first half of the night today, and I will watch the second half of the night."
Even if the flames form a long dragon at night, in this environment, everyone must be careful and vigil is a must.
Zi Chen nodded.
Chen Fan leaned to the side and lay directly in the shadow.
Zi Chen couldn't be sure whether the other party was really asleep, so he picked up the wine bottle and drank.
In the past few days, the two of them had not been humble to each other. They each ate their own food and drank their own wine.
The bonfire flickered, and Chen Fan seemed to move. Zi Chen glanced at it, as if it was an illusion.
In the middle of the night, Chen Fan stood up and signaled Zi Chen to rest.
When the sky got brighter, the team in front suddenly stopped, and there was a faint exclamation.
I saw wooden piles standing on the ground in front of me, with figures stuck on the wooden piles.
This time it's not from the caravan.
It's the Black Dragon group!
More than a hundred people died.
Just when everyone was shocked, someone exclaimed, "Look, there are words there!"
On the ground in front, there is a huge character "Meng" painted on it.
It's carved with blood.
"It's from the Meng family!"
Exclaim again.
Zi Chen found that the expressions of those businessmen became very excited.
Then he looked at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan said: "More than ten years ago, the lord of Mengye City died suddenly, and the Meng family was also purged by mysterious people overnight. However, many people still took advantage of the chaos to escape. In the following years, people from the Meng family often
Appear, and every time it appears, a bloody word 'Meng' will be left behind."
"Over the years, there are still caravans operating on this trade route. In addition to the huge profits, it is also related to the Meng family's occasional appearance to maintain public order. This time, the Meng family killed the black dragon, which is a great pleasure!"
Zi Chen nodded, finally encountering something not so bad.
Mengye City has a population of several million and is a large city. It is also the only city close to Jizhou, so there are many caravans coming and going.
There are guards wearing armor guarding the gate.
You have to pay to enter the city!
There is a dedicated person in charge.
Early in the morning, the city guards rode out of the city, dispatching more than a thousand well-trained soldiers.
All caravans and passers-by in the direction of the border were stopped and questioned.
It turned out that the city lord got the news that there were robbers appearing on this commercial road, so he sent people out to suppress the bandits.
He said he was asking for information about the robbers, but in reality he was inquiring about the Meng family.
Zi Chen and Chen Fei were also questioned, and they told the truth.
After asking one by one, they were all allowed.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, Zi Chen saw two arrest warrants, both of which were members of the Meng family. The charges seemed to be full of crimes.
Anyone who enters the city must pay an entry fee of one hundred spirit coins, which is also a protection fee.
The guards sternly informed them that violence was prohibited in the city, and violators would be killed on the spot.
Not long after they entered the city, they saw a member of a noble family charging into a passerby on horseback. Before the passerby could stand up and demand justice, he was beheaded with a sword.
"With your blind eyes, how dare you block my way?"
The guards patrolling the city immediately ran over to clean up the corpse.
Turning a blind eye to the young man from an aristocratic family who was riding past.
Someone nearby whispered something, but the guards took him into a cell on the grounds of disturbing public order.
Life and death are unpredictable.
Zi Chen has a deeper understanding of this city and even the customs and customs of Qingzhou.
Zi Chen didn't have a place to stay yet, so he and Chen Fan found the same inn.
As soon as everything was settled, the city guards arrived.
