Last night was a night that the residents of Dancheng did not want to recall.
Since midnight, the sounds of fighting have been heard one after another in the city.
Those who were brave enough to spy on the streets through cracks in doors and windows saw groups of vicious bandits killing police officers and watchmen on patrol in the streets.
After seeing this, they were heartbroken and thankful that the bandits did not kick open the door of their house, but almost all headed in the same direction - the Qin family and the Qin family house.
When the sun casts its first ray in the early morning, signaling that the curfew was lifted, many people set foot on this street, where you can see dried blood stains every few steps, and walked towards the Qin Mansion.
None of them thought that anyone in the Qin family would survive in a situation like last night.
When the Qin Mansion was slaughtered, wouldn't the items in the Qin Mansion be ownerless?
Although bandits have robbed the Qin family, the Qin family is a big business. Even the tables and chairs inside are made of nanmu. The bandits will definitely not be able to empty them out in one night.
So these people wanted to take advantage of it, and went to the Qin Mansion after it was robbed, and then picked up some valuable items.
And people with such thoughts gathered into a mighty procession and walked to Changsheng Street, the most luxurious street in Dancheng, which leads to the Qin Mansion.
Many people saw a scene that frightened them. The two groups were fighting, and they turned around and tried to run away.
They stood at the street corner and looked from a distance.
On the entire Changsheng Street, the corpses of hundreds of bandits were lined up and spread tens of meters long!
On the back of a stone lion at the gate of the Qin family, a young man whose clothes were stained red with blood was sitting leaning on it, holding a cold and shining sword.
Although they could not clearly see the expression on the young man's face, they could feel a strong murderous aura and a ruthless look on all living beings.
For a moment, those people who were stopped at the street started talking in low voices.
"Is that Qin Yuan, the head of the Qin family? It makes me feel terrible." Someone muttered.
And there was a fat man dressed as a merchant wearing a jade pendant on his belt, shaking his head and saying firmly.
"Wrong, that is clearly Qin Luo, the second master of the Qin family. Although the two brothers of the Qin family look alike, their looks and body shapes are still different. The second master of the Qin family often wears plain colors, while the head of the Qin family, Qin Yuan,
I’m used to wearing blue and black.”
Hearing this, many people looked surprised.
"I always thought that the second master of the Qin family was a dandy. I didn't expect that he could kill hundreds of bandits by himself. It's incredible."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, whoever wants to touch the Qin family from now on should consider whether he will die under the sword of the second young master of the Qin family."
"Now the Qin family has both black and white. From now on, Dancheng will completely change its surname to Qin."
…
While everyone was talking at the street corner, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. Everyone looked back and hurriedly made way for themselves.
This is Chen Hong, the lord of Dancheng, bringing his people.
However, Chen Hong's face on the horse was pale, and he was obviously very frightened last night.
The officers, soldiers and detectives who were following him now all had white lips. They were frightened and at the same time felt lucky that they had survived the catastrophe.
You must know that in the disaster last night, the most casualties were their colleagues on duty.
Only in the relatively remote west of the city, a watchman who immediately hid when he heard something was wrong became the only survivor.
However, the man was also severely frightened and now he was lying at home in a state of confusion.
Therefore, in comparison, those of them who were not on duty last night could be said to have saved their lives.
After Chen Hong rode his horse for a hundred steps into Changsheng Street, he dismounted and started walking.
He couldn't help feeling a little scared when he saw the neatly arranged corpses lying on the ground.
These gangsters with ferocious faces had extremely frightened expressions before they died, and usually only had one wound left on their body. Just that one wound could be fatal.
Chen Hong took a deep breath and walked to the door of Qin Mansion with his subordinates behind him. He looked up at Qin Luo, who was stained with a lot of blood and looked a little tired.
Although logically speaking, he was the lord of Dan City, even if he met Qin Yuan, he would still be half a level above him.
But in front of Qin Luo, he felt that he was more than a head shorter.
"There were a total of 213 bandits who entered Dan City last night, and there are 211 corpses here." Qin Luo said indifferently, "I got this data from their second boss. He is still alive.
In addition, the body of the bandit leader is in the lobby, I will keep it for future use."
He did not stop and continued in a cold tone: "Last night I killed all the gangsters alone, but no one from the government came to help. I don't know why?"
The reason why Qin Luo only circulated his spiritual energy and briefly adjusted his breathing after a night of fighting, and then stood guard at the door was to frighten other people in the city who had ulterior motives, and secondly to wait for Chen Hong to come over and negotiate.
.
In the past five years, Qin Yuan has gained a deeper understanding of the world.
This Kyushu world is far larger than the previous life. This is because he didn't notice it before when he watched those game guide videos.
Only now did he suddenly remember that back then, even hardcore players didn't even dare to say that they knew all the details of the map. After all, when teleportation was available, who would be a serious person who would slowly run to the mission point?
Therefore, this also narrows the player's concept of time and space in the game. It seems that "Lingyun Jiuzhou Record" is just a few prosperous big cities and a few mighty rivers.
But when Qin Luo actually lived here, he realized that it was only a hundred miles away, and even 90% of the people in Dan City had never walked out.
And there is no unified dynasty in this world. There are only national organizations, which are more similar to confederations.
Dancheng belongs to a country called "Yan" and covers an area of thousands of miles, but its management is very loose, mainly relying on the autonomy of the gentry class.
The Qin family was only a relatively powerful businessman before and had little influence on the politics of Dancheng, let alone Dancheng. When they go to other areas, they are not even local snakes and can only be ordinary foreign merchants.
.
So Qin Luo waited for Chen Hong because he wanted to have a good talk with him.
Try to convince people with reason and make the Qin family's status higher.
After the Qin family's power is deeply rooted in Dancheng, even if he leaves Dancheng, or after he and Qin Yuan have passed a hundred years later, the survival of the Qin family will not be a problem.
And then... you can wait for your own resurrection.
Upon hearing Qin Luo's question, Chen Hong suddenly sweated on his forehead.
There is a killing god in front of him.
You must know that even if a team of armored cavalry went to catch two hundred pigs, they would not be able to accurately catch them from the intricate alleys in the city at night.
The two hundred or so corpses of gangsters placed on the ground told him.
No cavalry squad is needed, Qin Luo can do this alone.
Chen Hong was silent for two seconds and replied out of breath: "Recently, the city's defenses have been empty, which is why these gangsters have had an opportunity to take advantage of it. Our officers and soldiers on patrol at night, as well as the watchmen, have also suffered many casualties.
ah.
When I got the news last night, the city could no longer summon a team capable of fighting the bandits, but I sent someone on horseback to go to the barracks for help, but the distance was too far and I couldn't get there in time."
What he said was also a shirk, and he obviously didn't want to take the responsibility on himself this time.
He has been operating in Dancheng for so many years, and the entry of gangsters into the city this time will undoubtedly become a point of criticism for him.
Therefore, Chen Hong understands that the most important thing for him this time is to first appease the Qin family, the most powerful family affected by the banditry. Only in this way can he continue to secure his position as the city lord.
Qin Luo said calmly: "City Master Chen's duty is to protect Dan City. The death of officers and soldiers in the city is not my responsibility, but many of the Qin family's servants guarding the courtyard were killed by bandits."
After he killed Zhou Bai last night, he sent Qin Yuan, who was hiding in the inner room, to a safe place, and then went to rescue the servants in the Qin Mansion as soon as possible.
But he returned relatively late, and he struggled with Zhou Bai for too long, so it was impossible to save everyone.
"All the twelve guards in our Qin Mansion died fighting the gangsters and died of innocent people, including seven maids, one housekeeper, and two day laborers." He jumped off the back of the stone lion and stared at Chen Hong.
"I know that this blood debt is mainly owed to the bandits, but the debt they owed me has been canceled now. So, should City Lord Chen be partly responsible for his failure to control the situation and allowing the bandits to enter the city?"
Hearing what Qin Luo said, Chen Hong couldn't help but feel a little numb.
If an ordinary businessman said this to him, he would just dismiss it. Even if it was the previous Qin family, and Qin Yuan said this in front of him, he would at most just give in and think about how to retaliate in the future.
But now there were about two hundred corpses lying on the street in front of him.
Chen Hong felt that if he said the wrong thing, he would be stabbed inexplicably in the bedroom later without anyone knowing.
So he decided to put his heart first.
He lowered his head, cupped his hands and said: "This matter is due to my incompetence in management, which caused your Qin family to suffer such losses. After all, your family is the mainstay of our Dan City, and your brother has made Dan City's business prosperous. This incident,
I will handle it carefully and give the Qin family a satisfactory explanation."
…
Qin Mansion.
Courtyard pavilion.
At this time, the water in the pond in the courtyard was turbid, and several weeping poplar trees beside the pond were knocked down and broken.
Qin Luo stood in the middle of the pavilion. Although he looked a little tired, he still managed a smile and asked, "Brother, are you feeling better?"
He saw Zhou Bai punch Qin Yuan in the stomach, but fortunately, Zhou Bai only used brute force in that punch, and there was no spiritual energy or poison attached to it.
After killing all the gangsters, he used spiritual energy to help Qin Yuan clear the blood and clear away the blood.
After all, the aura cultivated from the wood spirit root itself is biased toward vitality healing, so even if Qin Luo has not practiced any special healing spells, simply using the wood aura can still have a therapeutic effect.
At this time, Qin Yuan waved his hands and said, "I'm fine. My stomach is only slightly red and swollen now, and it doesn't hurt anymore."
Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, nodded and said: "That's okay, I just met City Master Chen, and he chose to compromise, which is pretty much what I thought.
I should be able to enter Dancheng's political system after that. As long as I gain a firm foothold and have my own faction, it will be a good thing for the subsequent development of our Qin family."
Qin Yuan stared at his younger brother blankly. After two or three seconds, he sighed with emotion: "Xiaoluo, I just realized that you have grown up."
Before last night, his impression of this younger brother was that he was a willful child. Although he had ideas, he mostly needed his own care and protection.
But his worries seemed unnecessary.
Qin Yuan still thought about it and reminded him: "Our Qin family has only been prosperous in Dancheng for more than thirty years. We don't know much about the ruling class. You should pay more attention after you enter."
"I know." Qin Luo responded.
After talking about business, their conversation became much more relaxed.
Qin Yuan looked at the devastation in the courtyard and said helplessly: "Xiaoluo, your favorite courtyard will probably need to be repaired for a while. I don't know when it will be restored to its original state.
The broken weeping willows beside the pond have been growing for more than ten years, and the blood-stained rockery over there are strange rocks found on Linglu Mountain. It's a pity."
Faced with last night's incident, although Qin Yuan is usually mature, in the final analysis, he is just a young man in his twenties.
Therefore, it is normal for him to feel confused and anxious now.
"It's nothing. As long as the Qin family is here, no matter how dilapidated the yard is, it can still be repaired one day." Qin Luo comforted, "The most important thing about our Qin family is the people, not these objects."
What he said came from the bottom of his heart.
Even if the Qin family falls into decline again, as long as one lineage is passed down, he believes that he can still lead the family to revive after his reincarnation.
Therefore, in his opinion, people are the most important to the Qin family.
Even if there is only a little spark left, it can eventually reignite the prairie fire.
Seeing Qin Luo's firm gaze, Qin Yuan scratched his head.
"Yeah, why should I be sad right now, not to mention that nothing was robbed from our house, and the gangsters who robbed things are all dead, so we don't have to worry about anything in the future."
"Brother, just think about it." Qin Luo patted his brother's shoulder happily, "I'm all sticky, so I'll wash it off first, and then have a good sleep.
By the way, brother, speaking of people, brother, don’t forget to pay compensation to the families of those nursing homes and servants who died.”
The nursing home is an employment relationship in the Qin family, and although the servants have signed a deed of sale, they are all dead, and they can be considered affected by the Qin family. Qin Luo still wants to pay some compensation to their families.
What's more, it's not like the Qin family can't pay this money.
As a modern person who has traveled through time, Qin Luo still has a certain bottom line.
Although I don’t know if I will change in the future.
At least for now, he won't kill innocent people, and he doesn't want to make the miserable people suffer even more.
"I know, you've told me this three times." Qin Yuan said with a helpless smile, "The family members of the nursing home who died last night will receive one hundred taels of silver, the maids will receive fifty taels, and the rest of the people who were shocked will each receive a month.
Monthly payment plus three taels of silver, right?"
"That's right."
Qin Luo smiled, stood up, stretched his muscles, and walked all the way to the bathhouse.
No gangsters came here to steal things last night, so the house was still very clean. After receiving the instructions, the remaining maids dutifully boiled the water here early.
He took off his clothes that were covered in blood and had holes in them, and slowly soaked in the water. Every pore in his aching body seemed to relax at this moment.
Qin Luo squinted his eyes slightly, clicked his teeth three times, and summoned the system panel.
After a night of killing, although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he also gained a lot. This chapter has been completed!
