"This is not something humans do at all. How about we report it to the official!"
"It's better not to report it to the official! Is there any conclusive evidence now? There is nothing you can do against the other party."
The hard workers resting under the tree, you and I scolded the Iron Palm Gang and cursed them for retribution.
This is the only thing these ordinary peons can do.
Although the Iron Palm Gang is not a powerful gang, the gang leader is at least a second-level practitioner and has many first-level practitioners under his command.
If ordinary hard workers like them really make trouble, they will most likely not be their opponents.
Even if they really get up to make trouble, they will end up giving them a beating and their jobs will be gone.
Just when these ordinary peons were cursing the Iron Palm Gang for retribution, a guard on horseback entered the Iron Palm Gang's dock and brought bad news to the Iron Palm Gang members who were wondering why the gang leader did not come to the dock.
…………
Originally, the leader of the Iron Palm Gang was Tie Dashi, and the deputy leader was Liu De. Under them, the third powerful figure in the Iron Palm Gang was named Zhang Zili.
When the government guards brought the news of Liu De's death, the third powerful figure in the Iron Palm Gang, Zhang Zili, who was in charge of the working conditions of the workers on the dock, had a look of horror on his face.
"Sir, what is going on? Why did our gang leader die there?" Zhang Zili asked with a panicked expression.
"Liu De was hit by a dart in the forehead, and the person who killed him was far stronger than him.
The reason why he died there and who killed him remain to be investigated later."
The guard who came to report the situation didn't want to say anything at first, but Zhang Zili couldn't help it and gave him some money, so he told him some of the situation he knew.
"..." Seeing that the guard in front of him didn't know what the situation was, a look of disappointment flashed in Zhang Zili's eyes, and then he sent the guard who came to report out of the meeting hall.
"Someone should come to you later and ask some questions. Just answer them truthfully." The guard who accepted Zhang Zili's money reminded him before leaving.
"Thank you, sir, for the reminder." Zhang Zili smiled and nodded.
"Drive..." The guard shook the reins in his hands, and then he rode away from the dock.
Zhang Zili looked at the retreating guards, his eyes blank, his smile disappeared, and the look of panic on his face became more intense.
The two talkers of the Iron Palm Gang were now dead. Next, the position of helmsman fell on him, but he was not happy about it at all.
Although he is the third in command of the Iron Palm Gang, his cultivation level is not high, only the first level.
In the past, with the support of gang leader Tie Dashi and deputy gang leader Liu De, Zhang Zili had room to display his talents, and then became the third in command of the Iron Palm Gang.
But now, two of his backers have been killed one after another. It is impossible to hide this news. Once it spreads, those who secretly disobey him will definitely take this opportunity to resist him and rob many gang leaders.
Bit.
Zhang Zili, who only had the first level of strength, was really being fought for power by those members of the Iron Palm Gang who were dissatisfied with her. He couldn't fight those people at all.
"Damn it! How could this happen? What should I do now?"
Standing at the door of the meeting hall, Zhang Zili was lost in thought as he watched the guards leaving. He pondered for a long time and then said to himself.
"When the news of Liu De's death spreads, those guys who usually dislike me will definitely get together to discuss taking my position.
Those guys are extremely evil and will definitely kill me. When the time comes, my life may be at risk...
Bastard, if that's the case, then I'd better run away first! Anyway, I'm alone and don't have a family, so it's convenient to run away.
I remember that Liu De put the money in that place before. Later I took the money and left Tap Seac City to find a backer in other cities to start over. Even if no one wanted me, with that money, I could
Live a comfortable life.”
Zhang Zili thought about it for a while and made the decision to run away.
Afterwards, he called one of his close men and explained to him what had happened. After hearing this, the men strongly supported his decision to run away.
So, Zhang Zili and his confidants loaded all the wages Liu De was going to pay into his private carriage.
Then, the two men carried a box of money and quickly headed to the gate of Tap Seac City.
Everyone in the Iron Palm Gang had no idea when Zhang Zili and his men ran away, and no one noticed anything unusual.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set, everyone's work was done, and it was time to get paid, that everyone realized something was wrong.
"Where is Zhang Zili?" asked a member of the Iron Palm Clan.
"I don't know! Ever since that guard came to report the news, I haven't seen him show his face for a long time..." said a member of the Iron Palm Gang with a big beard.
"By the way, that guard came to report the news, what exactly did he say?" a curious Iron Palm member asked.
"I don't know, Zhang Zili was the only one present at the time. Only he knows what the guard said to him.
Originally, I wanted to wait for him to tell us what the guards said? But now no one knows where they have gone." said an Iron Palm gang member who saw Zhang Zili whispering to the guards.
"Everyone, may I ask, when will wages be paid? It's almost dark, and we're still rushing home for dinner!" A hard worker came to the Iron Palm Gang and asked.
"Will you die after a while? Didn't you see that we are discussing to find someone?" A member of the Iron Palm Gang with a very bad attitude said angrily.
"Uh..." The hard worker who was scolded immediately closed his mouth, looked at the Iron Palm Gang members with a fearful expression, and then left the meeting hall.
After the hard worker who asked when his wages would be paid left, the backbone of the Iron Palm Gang in the meeting hall discussed the matter of finding someone.
As time went by, some news gradually spread back to the Iron Palm Gang's dock.
"What? Liu De is dead???"
"Where the wages were kept, that box of money disappeared???"
"Someone saw Zhang Zili driving a carriage with his henchmen and leaving Tap Seac City?!!!"
Continuous bad news spread among the Iron Palm Gang members and the hard workers who were waiting for their wages. For a moment, everyone was shocked by the shocking news.
Afterwards, the Iron Palm Gang's dock suddenly became noisy. The hard workers waiting for their wages surrounded the Iron Palm Gang's meeting hall, demanding that the backbone of the Iron Palm Gang must pay them their wages.
If Liu De was still alive, it would be easy for him to organize his men and with the strength of their practitioners to defeat these hard workers surrounding the meeting hall.
But now that the backbone is gone, the members of the Iron Palm Gang each have their own ideas and cannot work together to defeat the peons who surround them with the same hatred.
Therefore, the resentment of having been bullied by the Iron Palm Gang members for a long time accumulated a lot of hard work, and he beat up all the Iron Palm Gang members who were fighting each other, and then tied them up.
"What should we do now? We can't get paid even if we tie them up!"
"this……"
The peons looked at the Iron Palm Gang members who had been beaten with bruises and bruises on their faces, and for a moment they didn't know how to deal with this matter.
At this time, someone in the crowd said, "Bring them to the gate of the city lord's palace and let the city lord make the decision for us."
"Okay, let's do it." The peons agreed one after another, and then put all the Iron Palm Gang members who had been beaten with bruises and swelling, and whose hands and feet were tied, onto the carts, and everyone pushed the carts towards the city lord's palace.
.
…………
It was getting dark, and on the brightly lit street, Lin Fei and Wu Yin walked out of the restaurant after dinner.
"The dishes in this restaurant are really as delicious as you said." Wu Yin said to Lin Fei next to her with a smile.
"I asked people about it. Because Tap Seac is a big city where businessmen frequently come and do business, there are many specialty restaurants from various cities in the city.
There are many restaurants of the same level like the one we dined at tonight. When we have free time in the future, we can try these restaurants one by one," Lin Fei said.
"Okay! I have nothing to do anyway, so it would be interesting to try the different dishes in various restaurants in Tap Seac City." Wu Yin nodded.
Lin Fei smiled, and then he and Wu Yin did not return home immediately, but wandered on the street.
"Shoes are for sale. They are all handmade. Come and take a look! They are very cheap..."
"We are selling clothes. The weather is very hot now. Buy a thin shirt and go home! Buy two and get one free. Hurry up and buy it. If you miss it, it will be gone."
"If you have children at home, don't miss it! These handmade wood carvings are all carved by master craftsmen. You can buy them back and give them to your children to play with."
The small stalls hawking along both sides of the street shouted vigorously, hoping that their hawking would attract the attention of passers-by and let them take a look at the goods they sold.
Lin Fei and Wu Yin, wearing black bamboo hats to hide their faces, wandered aimlessly on the street, looking at the products sold by the vendors along the street.
"Maltose, fresh maltose, after eating one piece, I feel like two pieces, after eating two pieces, I feel like three pieces..." An old aunt shouted in a low voice. Her hair was all white, her face was full of wrinkles, and she looked young.
Smaller.
Beside the old aunt, there were two children of five or six years old, who should be her grandson and granddaughter. Each of the two children had a piece of maltose in their hands and ate it with concentration.
"Lin Fei, I went over to buy some maltose and take it back to Zhang Xiaohua and the others." Wu Yin looked at the old aunt who was selling maltose, then turned to Lin Fei and said.
"Maltose, I haven't eaten it for a long time." Lin Fei nodded, and then followed Wu Yin towards the old aunt selling maltose.
"Guest, do you want to buy maltose? I make all the maltose myself and it tastes very good! You can try it first. If it doesn't taste good, you can scold me..." The old aunt saw two customers wearing bamboo hats coming to the door.
, and then enthusiastically promoted it.
Lin Fei and Wu Yin each took a small piece of maltose from a small plate, tasted it, and nodded slightly.
"Give me three kilograms!" Wu Yin, who had tasted maltose, said to her old aunt.
"Okay." Auntie didn't expect that the customer in front of her tasted it and immediately placed an order for three kilograms of maltose. Then the smile on her face couldn't stop overflowing, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the joy in her heart.
Looking at the three kilograms of maltose weighed by the old aunt to Wu Yin, Lin Fei was about to say half a kilogram for himself. At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of dense footsteps behind him.
Turning around, I suddenly saw a large group of people in the distance wearing linen shirts and towels hanging around their necks. They looked like hard laborers, walking towards them.
At the front of these people, there were also carts, on which lay many people with bruises and swollen faces, and their hands and feet bound.
"What's going on? Why are these people pushing those who have obviously been taught a lesson? What are they going to do?" Lin Fei looked at this large group of people and felt a burst of doubt in his heart.
"Eh? Those people seem to be from the Iron Palm Gang?!!!" Wu Yin also heard the movement behind her, she turned her head and followed Lin Fei's gaze.
As soon as she saw the people placed on the cart and those wearing linen clothes, she immediately knew their origins.
After all, Wu Yin had personally visited the Iron Palm Gang before and had a 'friendly' exchange with their gang leader.
"Are they from the Iron Palm Gang?" Lin Fei on the side heard Wu Yin's whisper, turned to look at her, and asked.
"Well, because I have gone to see them before, I have some knowledge of their clothes." Wu Yin said.
"Guest, I've packed the three kilograms of maltose you asked for." The old aunt packed the five kilograms of maltose ordered by Wu Yin into a large paper bag.
"Thank you." Wu Yin took out some copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the other party.
Afterwards, Lin Fei and Wu Yin left the street and went shopping in other directions.
As for what will happen to the people of the Iron Palm Gang, although they are a little confused, they are not very curious and they are not concerned about what will happen to them in the future.
…………
Around eight o'clock in the evening and almost nine o'clock in the evening, Lin Fei and Wu Yin returned to their manor after shopping for a while.
There was a faint sound of chatting from the pavilion in the distance. I turned to look where the sound came from and saw three maids sitting on the stone benches in the pavilion, playing backgammon.
Lin Fei flew to the second floor of the villa, while Wu Yin walked to the pavilion carrying a bag of maltose she bought.
"Miss Wu." Zhang Xiaoyu noticed someone coming from a distance. When the person approached, she saw the person's appearance clearly and greeted him immediately.
Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaochun, who were concentrating on playing backgammon, heard Zhang Xiaoyu's greeting. They immediately put down the chess pieces in their hands, turned their heads and looked around, and then also greeted them.
