"name."
"Zi Chen!"
"Why collude with the remnants of the Meng family?"
"ah……?"
In a huge building in Mengye City, there were small rooms separated from each other, and Zi Chen was taken to one of them.
There is a city guard here.
This is the opening dialogue for both parties.
The city guard frowned, "Pretending to be stupid?"
"My lord, this is unjust."
Zi Chen cried bitterly: "I came from Jizhou and just came to Mengye City. How can I be a remnant of the Meng family?"
"Your friends have all recruited, and you still don't want to?"
The city guard looked gloomy, "So, do you want to die?"
Zi Chen immediately said: "Sir, I have evidence to prove innocence."
"Forged evidence will be punished with an additional penalty!" the other party said indifferently.
This was completely unreasonable. Zi Chen's mental power spread, and the same scene appeared in other rooms.
"If you want to prove that you are not a remnant of the Meng family, ask your family to send money."
The city guard in the room said to a man covered in blood.
Zi Chen remembered that he was also one of the passers-by.
"Sir... I have no money." The man turned over with difficulty, knelt there, and begged: "I was stopped on the road... twice... I have nothing left, and my family has no money. Please let me go."
"Inform family or friends, or die!" The city guard looked indifferent, "Two roads, choose one!"
"As a member of the caravan, if you want to prove that you are not a remnant of the Meng family, just take out the money."
There were also city guards who attacked those merchants.
The room was full of people, and almost all the city guards were doing this kind of thing.
Outsiders, those who have no friends or family, will be killed directly after draining all the resources in the storage bag.
Someone tried to resist and killed a city guard, but a strong man soon came over.
Zi Chen had never seen such a scene before. The dignified city guards were supposed to protect the safety of a city, but now they turned into bandits.
Ignoring the real gangsters outside, they carried out robberies under the guise of investigating the remnants of the Meng family.
What's the difference between this and the black dragon?
Is this the custom of Qingzhou?
No wonder several big families act without scruples.
Scene after scene, Zi Chen's eyes gradually became colder and his aura overflowed.
The city guard suddenly shivered and turned around to look. There was no window here, so how could the wind come in?
kill?
Zi Chen was very confused.
All the city guards who appeared in the room deserved death, including the city lord here.
If he went on a killing spree today, his identity would be exposed, and several major families would be alert by then.
If the whole trend in Qingzhou was like this, would he kill every city he passed by?
At this moment, Zi Chen suddenly heard Chen Fan's voice, "Sir, I don't have money now, but my family has money. When I get back, I will definitely be able to send money within three days. It's not just me."
I also gave it to Zi Chen. He is from Jizhou, a new arrival, and he doesn’t have much money."
Zi Chen didn't understand why Chen Fan wanted to help him?
But for now, he plans to wait and see what happens.
The city guards did not give him any more trouble, because the city guards who had previously interrogated Chen Fan came in and locked the two of them in a room.
At the same time, I was told that each person would have to pay five hundred spirit coins for one day.
In the previous inn, the price was only 100 per day.
"Is the whole Qingzhou like this?"
After the city guards left, Zi Chen asked?
"Although it is quite difficult in normal times, I can still get through life, but I am just a little frustrated." Chen Fan said: "Situations like Meng Yecheng's without a bottom line are actually not common."
The two were imprisoned here with no one to supervise them at all, but the money still had to be collected.
"Is there no one to take care of it?"
Zi Chen was speechless. This city was not small, with millions of people living in it.
Chen Fan smiled slightly and said, "Of course someone is in charge."
it's dark.
Zi Chen took out some dry food and asked the other party if he wanted to eat.
"Of course."
Chen Fan was not polite, took the dried meat and said: "Where's the wine? Give me a jug."
Zi Chen took out a bottle of wine.
It seems that once here, Chen Fan is no longer cautious.
After eating and drinking, Chen Fan lay down and fell asleep.
There is no need for a night watch here either.
Late at night.
Zi Chen felt that the room seemed to be distorted.
I took a closer look and found everything was normal.
It's like an illusion.
This is already the second time.
He looked at Chen Fan, who was lying with his back to Zi Chen, as if he was sleeping deeply, breathing evenly.
At the same time, there was another Chen Fan standing outside the city lord's mansion.
There were guards guarding the door of the city lord's mansion. Chen Fan stood at the door and watched for a moment, but no one noticed.
He walked forward, and his body actually passed through the real gate. Along the way, he saw the patrol team again. The two sides passed each other, but these guards still did not react at all.
Finally, he came to the room where the city lord lived.
He walked straight through the heavily guarded gate and walked through the wall into the mansion.
"You haven't found anyone yet?"
A majestic voice sounded, it was the current lord of Mengye City.
Zhou Hanfei.
"I have asked them all and investigated the details. They are either businessmen or passers-by. There are no remnants of the Meng family," the deputy said.
"Trash, all the Black Dragon people were killed overnight, but you don't even have any clues." Zhou Hanfei's face was ashen and he threw down the account book in his hand, "It's just that the person is dead, and the money can't be found. I support him."
What are you for?"
It records the money handed over to the Black Dragon by the caravan and passers-by. It is a very considerable amount and was made overnight.
Unfortunately, Black Dragon died and the money disappeared.
Although the Meng family's legacy remains, Zhou Hanfei does not rule out the possibility of someone taking advantage of the situation.
The deputy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and took out a storage bag, "Sir, these were taken from those people today."
