Devil’s Advent

A mule-drawn cart was pulled out from the inn, with the mules and horses in front, and behind it was not a carriage, but a cart covered with a piece of canvas.

On weekdays, the inn uses this to go out to buy vegetables.

Blind Bei held a small leather whip in his left hand and held the rein in the other, and sat firmly in the "driving seat".

The little mule's broken car gave Blind Bei "drive" a feeling of Cadillac.

When the blind man was driving, A Ming didn't have the slightest surprise and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After changing into a new suit, he just sat peacefully beside the blind man Bei.

The carriage is not big, unless you lie down in the back, if you sit in the front, the two big men must be next to each other.

The little mule cart moved forward slowly, and the bells on the neck of the little mule and horse made slow and crisp sounds from time to time;

The rain is still falling, but it is not heavy. Although it is not as moist as the crispness in the south of the Yangtze River, it also covers the dust and sand in the air of the frontier fortress just right. Here, it is rare and gentle.

The mules and horses staggered along, and the speed of the cart was naturally not fast.

The blind man Bei gave a whip to the mules and horses in front of him weakly, and the mules and horses also gave a perfunctory bark in order to take care of the blind man's face, but their hooves did not seem to speed up in the slightest.

One person and one mule, in this rain curtain, reached a tacit understanding.

"Not only did you change into new clothes, but you also washed your hair?"

Blind Bei joked.

"It's a pity that there is no hair dryer and mousse."

"Mousse, it's been a term for a long time." The blind man Bei yawned and continued, "Si Niang is really willing to part with it. Your outfit is not cheap, is it?"

"you also have."

"new clothes?"

"The instrument that suits you, right under the canvas in the back of the car."

Hearing the words, the blind man moved his hands forward involuntarily, his fingers twitching nimbly:

"Oh, it's embarrassing for Si Niang. In this day and age, it's not easy to make a piano."

"It's the erhu."

"..." Blind Bei.

"Let's get down to business." A Ming reminded.

"In Hutou City, there are four gangs who can stand on the stage." Blind Bei began to introduce the gangs in Hutou City.

The resident population of Hutou City is not large, only about 20,000, and there are many old and weak women and children here. Therefore, with the recruitment of civilian husbands a few days ago, Hutou City, which is still very lively on weekdays , suddenly became desolate.

It was one reason for the young and strong to be recruited as civilian husbands to leave, but the main reason was the sudden local conflicts, which made the caravans who had been coming and going here stopped at the previous station, and everyone was watching.

And once the inflow of caravans is lost, Tiger Head City, a small town with a basically export-oriented economy, will naturally find it difficult to become lively.

And it is also because of the frequent entry and exit of caravans that while promoting the development of the local economy, it also breeds an unavoidable mix of fish and dragons.

In an ordinary border town, it is impossible to have so many restaurants, kilns, casinos, and so many gangs. In the final analysis, the bigger the cake, the more people.

The most amazing thing is that because of the fact that there are many clans in the Yan Kingdom, the monarch has a very weak grasp of the place, which has caused many loopholes in the household registration. There are many people in the city, but less than half of them actually have the nationality of the Yan Kingdom. As for these gangsters, they are naturally not registered in Hutou City.

Regarding this, the officials in Hutou City turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. If they really wanted to check the household registration, those powerful people would be the first to refuse.

"The Hyena Gang in the east of the city, the Sanshenhui in the west of the city, the Juyi Gang in the city, and the Che Gang in the outskirts of the city are the four gangs in Hutou City that can stand on the stage.

The Hyena Gang specializes in the business of human traffickers. The barbarian tribes in the desert often have private wars and massacres. Some prisoners of war will be transported over and sold to the mainland of Yan through the Hyena Gang. The woman was very interested and sold it through the Hyena Gang.

The Three Gods Association is an out-and-out magic stick organization, which enshrines the earth gods in Yan and the barbarian gods, as well as some western gods, recruits believers to receive incense, and also raises a group of thugs.

The Juyi Gang is dedicated to the protection fee on the surface. Not only does it open a brothel casino and restaurant, but in Hutou City, including our inn, it needs to pay a sum of money to it every month.

The Chebang is a bit similar to the Caobang in the Mainland. It is mainly engaged in the business of chariots and horses. All the chariots who want to work hard in the Hutou City area need to take a part of their wages to the Chebang, otherwise they will not be allowed To make a living in this land. "

"Now we are in the east of the city, so, should we attack the hyenas first?"

"It's human nature to pick the soft persimmons first when doing things, but for us, oh, to be precise, for you, after holding back for half a year, we have to choose someone who can vent our anger without much worry. A handful of objects.

There are not many things in this world that are more guilt-free than a murderer. "

"Guilt? You didn't think about it that way before, no, we didn't think about it that way."

"But now, after all, there is the Lord, we have to learn to take care of the Lord's emotions, the Lord has not completely blackened yet, and I only know that the Lord is growing rapidly, and I dare not guarantee that the Lord will really be completely black But at present, we have to change our style of doing things in a way that pleases the Lord."

A Ming stopped talking.

"Angry?" Blind Bei asked with a smile.

A Ming shook his head.

Blind Bei smiled and said in relief:

"Today is a good day to kill people. It's the first release in half a year. It's raining again. Be happy."

The blind man Bei pulled up the reins, and the mules and horses stopped in their tracks.

There is an alley in front of it, and there are two courtyards inside, which are where the Hyena Gang is located.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention that the trade route has been greatly affected due to the war these days. There should still be a lot of tickets stranded in those two courtyards."

"I know the measure."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm the one who is rambling."

A Ming jumped off the mule cart, and instead of rushing forward, he turned his head and asked:

"You should say it again."

Blind North nodded, "I know the next sequence and how to deal with the other three gangs. This is the first goal, you just have to have fun."

"good."

A Ming started to walk towards the yard,

behind

A melodious and desolate voice came,

Ah Ming stopped again,

road:

"This song is a bit familiar."

On the mule cart, the blind man Bei took out the erhu from under the canvas and was pulling it, and replied:

"The second spring reflects the moon."

A Ming shrugged and said, "Is it a little unlucky?"

"It's not for you, it's for them."

A Ming thought for a while, "That's right."

Accompanied by the sound of the erhu, the rain curtain looked very sad. The leather boots under A Ming's feet stepped on the puddles, splashing water from time to time.

When reaching the gate of the yard,

A Ming suddenly felt that there was some truth in Blind Bei's saying that today is suitable for killing people;

But unfortunately, he did not kill with a sword.

but,

Why not try it?

At the gate of the yard, there were two guards standing there, both curled up in the corner, even though A Ming had already reached the gate, they didn't bother to move.

even,

They also joked in a joking tone:

"This dress looks fancy."

"I guess it's from the acrobatic troupe that came with the caravan from the Western Regions. I went to see it last year. There are jugglers there, so they wear it like this."

A Ming laughed when he heard this.

He didn't rush to do it, because he thought he needed to brew his emotions.

It's like before a meal, you need to arrange the plate well, and he is about to prepare for the meal.

"Don't, don't sell me, don't sell me, don't!!!"

At this time,

A girl's shrill cry came from behind Ah Ming.

Ah Ming turned his head, looked back, and saw a middle-aged man dressed in some rags was forcibly pulling a girl who was only about twelve or thirteen years old.

The girl's clothes were also torn and old, and she was sitting on the ground firmly, but the man's strength was not something she, a young girl, could resist. The middle-aged man dragged her to continue walking this way , the girl kept rolling in the muddy puddles.

The two gatekeepers saw this scene and knew that business was coming, so they stood up slowly.

"Don't sell me, don't sell me!"

"I am your father, if we don't sell you, we will all starve to death! You lose money, do you think both of us, father and daughter, will starve to death?"

"You bastard, you bastard, I don't have you as a father, my mother was sold by you to gamble, and now you want to sell me!"

"Snapped!"

The man just slapped the girl.

The girl was beaten and lay on the ground, blood overflowed from the corner of her mouth, and there was more despair in her pupils.

"Bah! Shameless loser!"

The man bypassed Ah Ming, walked up to the steps, bent over to the two gatekeepers standing above him, showed a flattering look, and said flatteringly:

"Please tell me to be in charge."

A porter smiled, turned around and pushed open the door to go in and call for someone.

The other one had his waist down, glanced at the girl lying on the ground, shook his head, and said:

"This little girl, it's only five taels of silver."

"Hey, how can it be!" The man exclaimed, "I sold her mother for four taels of silver from you, no matter how she is, she is still a young girl, and she is more expensive than a woman who has given birth to a baby. "

"Heh, this little lady can only be sold at a high price if she is from the mainland of our country of Yan. It would be even better if she is from the country of Qian. If she knows a little bit about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the price will be unbeatable.

Our little lady from the Northland couldn't sell it at a high price. Look at this one in your house, it looks like it's not usually a pampered material, its skin is so rough, tsk tsk, do you think those elders in the desert can like it?

Buy it back and take a look, mother, the skin is the same as the girls in their tribe, are you stupid?

Besides, your mother-in-law, even if she is a little old and has given birth to a baby, she can pick, carry, and do it, and half a man can order it around. How about you, girl, can you do heavy work?

The most important thing is, I don’t know why I’ve been going crazy for a while, but suddenly a war broke out, and the trade routes were cut off. In our yard, we have already stocked up a lot of meat tickets for free food. money? "

"This... can't be done, at least eight liang of silver will be sold, five liang of silver will be repaid, and there will be three liang of money left over."

"Tch, then you can talk to the accountant by yourself later."

The girl was lying on the ground, motionless, her eyes blank.

At this time,

She saw a man in strange black clothes come up to her and squat down. His face was so white.

A Ming looked down at her, and she was also looking at A Ming.

Shaoqing,

A Ming asked:

"Do you want me to help you...kill your father?"

The girl's body suddenly trembled,

Immediately afterwards,

A hint of hatred began to show in his eyes.

mouth,

Bit out a word:

"think……"

A Ming nodded,

"good."
