It wasn't until early the next morning that Wang Laizi's body was discovered by Granny Liu, who was the first to empty the toilet in Liujia Village.
In an instant, the entire Liujia Village was in a state of commotion, and everyone gathered in this pit area.
The news soon spread to the Golden Tiger Gang.
As soon as Liu Mang arrived at Baishui Hall, he saw three big men kneeling at the gate. Each of them had several footprints on their bodies.
Liu Mang couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "What are you doing kneeling here?"
He was more impressed by the big man in the middle with six moles on his forehead. His name was Wang Zhigang. He was very driven and ambitious. He was usually the first to come over to work on his strength.
It seems that one of the other two is called Xiao Cao and the other is called Xiao He. The specific name Liu Mang is not clear either.
However, when these three people saw Liu Mang's expression, their expressions changed. Then Wang Zhigang gritted his teeth and said to Liu Mang: "Gang Leader Liu, I really didn't kill Cripple Wang!"
Liu Mang's expression changed after hearing his words: "What's going on? Wang Laizi is dead?!"
At this time, the bearded Lin Hanlin came out of the hall. He went up and gave Wang Zhigang a moderate kick, and cursed: "You are a killer! You said you didn't kill him, but when he was picked up, you were
They’re all hurt!”
Wang Zhigang shook his head and said: "I punched him a few times, but he probably wouldn't have died. And he was found in the latrine. I couldn't have pushed him into the latrine."
Liu Mang couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard this. Wang Laizi fell into the latrine and died?
Lin Hanlin continued to scold: "You don't even think about how strong you are and how small Wang Laizi is. Can he withstand your punch?"
Liu Mang listened for a long time and finally figured out what happened.
It turned out that Wang Laizi was scolding himself when he was having a drink at Geng Laohan's Liquor. Wang Zhigang and others heard him, so Wang Zhigang went up and punched him three times.
Thinking that Wang Zhigang was also trying to protect himself, Liu Mang would not punish him, but said calmly: "Since you didn't kill him, just stand up. What's the point of kneeling at the door?"
Wang Zhigang and others showed joy on their faces and hurriedly got up from the ground.
Lin Hanlin scolded: "Those who kill talented people still don't thank the gang leader!"
Wang Zhigang and others thanked them repeatedly, but Liu Mang ignored them and looked at the door.
There, Mrs. Wang Sun was running out in a hurry, carrying a gray linen package on her back.
Liu Mang stepped forward and explained: "Your husband was not killed by me, nor by my men."
Wang Sun's face was numb, and her originally white face was now pale: "I believe you wouldn't do such a thing, but I... don't have the shame to stay here any longer."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Liu Mang saw Wang Sun's bright black eyes, revealing a bit of pain and a bit of relief at the moment.
But which one is more, probably only Wang Sun himself knows.
Liu Mang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
Wangsun's husband-in-law died, why should she go back to take care of the funeral, right?
"I'll send two people to go back with you." Liu Mang thought that Wang Laizi seemed to have relatives in the next few villages, and was afraid that Wang Sun would be bullied by others.
Wang Sun shook her head stubbornly, and then hurriedly ran in the direction of Liujiacun.
Wang Laizi's home.
In the room, several relatives who rarely interacted with each other from other villages kept sighing, and a woman in her forties cried and fussed: "My nephew, why did you die so miserably!"
Although he was crying, there was not a single tear on his face.
At this time, Mrs. Wang Sun hurriedly opened the door and came in. At a glance, she saw Wang Laizi, who was lying on the bed and had put on a new set of clothes.
Seeing this husband-in-law who had beaten and scolded her countless times, Wang Sun still felt a little sad at the moment.
She wanted to cry, but found that she couldn't. Maybe her tears had already flowed away in those countless days and nights.
"You bitch!" When the middle-aged woman saw Wang Sun, she was about to come up and beat her.
At this time, the door was pushed open again. Liu Shu, a little fat man, and another tall, unfamiliar man, wearing a light yellow tiger-headed top, were looking at her, the warning in their eyes was particularly obvious.
But Liu Mang was still worried about Wang Sun, so he sent two people back to take a look.
The middle-aged woman's expression changed. After all, she still didn't dare to take any action against Wang Sun. At the same time, the little thoughts in her heart also disappeared.
…
Two days later, at Pier 2.
Liu Mang, Mei Song, Wang Zhigang and others boarded a B-shaped ship, and the sailors on the ship were already in place, ready to set off for Quancheng.
Mother Liu looked at Liu Mang from the shore and waved to Liu Mang from afar.
Liu Mang not only has to go to Quancheng this time, but also to Tianshan Mountain, which is farther away. It is estimated that it will take several months to come back.
On the boat, Liu Mang stood at the bow, looking at the rolling river water, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.
Wang Sun took care of the funeral arrangements yesterday and did not return to the Golden Tiger Gang.
He even went to ask the other party in person, but Wang Sun said that he had no shame in coming again.
Liu Mang had no choice. Everyone chose their own path, and he had no right to interfere in other people's lives.
All he could do was give the Wangsun family the key to his old house in Liujia Village, which contained a lot of grain. The rest could only wait until later to take a closer look.
On the ship, Mei Song boarded the ship for the first time.
The twelve or thirteen-year-old son of Hall Master Mei was quite excited. One moment he went to the bow of the ship to take a look, the next he went to the stern to take a look, and the next he went into the cabin to sit.
But not long after the ride, he couldn't bear it anymore and ran to a corner to vomit. Longjiang made him realize for the first time how great the power of water is.
As for Wang Zhigang and Xiao Cao next to him, Xiao He was also confused and didn't understand why Liu Mang chose to let them pass.
Because the three of them were the same three people who met Wang Laizi in the wine shop.
The three of them were worried, fearing that Liu Mang would sink them into the river.
In fact, Liu Mang's idea was very simple. He just wanted to bring a few people with him for convenience, and he was deeply impressed by the three of them, so he casually asked the three of them to go with him.
Quancheng is located in the southernmost part of Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away from Jiangcheng. On the way, we have to pass through Yuncheng, Wucheng, Jingcheng and Liangcheng.
Liu Mang's ship sailed for eight days and seven nights, stopping briefly in Jingcheng for half a day to avoid the wind and waves, and finally arrived at Quancheng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is also an episode in the middle. On the river between Liangcheng and Quancheng, another boat capsized and several people fell into the water.
Liu Mang ordered the B-shaped boat to approach and rescued them all.
One of the leading boatmen bowed his head repeatedly: "Thank you all the brave men of the Golden Tiger Gang for your life-saving grace! There is no way to repay such a kindness. Lao Bao would like to invite Gang Leader Liu to sit in the humble house in Quancheng!"
Liu Mang smiled and said: "It's a small effort, but it doesn't matter."
The boatman named Lao Bao was very excited and insisted on inviting Liu Mang and his party. He stopped when he saw Liu Mang's resolute attitude.
"My brother-in-law is on duty at the City Lord's Mansion. If Gang Leader Liu needs it, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!" Lao Bao looked filled with emotion.
Next to him, several other boatmen who had been rescued nodded their heads.
After the interlude, Liu Mang and his party finally arrived at Quancheng.
The city tower of Quancheng is fifteen feet high, which is half as high as the inner city of Jiangcheng.
The length of the city wall has also grown a lot, and you can't see the end at a glance. The surrounding soldiers were wearing pure black armor, holding iron axes and shields, and a fierce aura rushed towards them.
Many of the people going in and out of the city gate were carrying swords on their backs. Quancheng was a martial artist, rich in swords, and its folk customs were quite tough.
Liu Mang, Mei Song, and Wang Zhigang brought their documents and checked them before entering the tower.
The first sight is a conspicuous blacksmith shop and weapons workshop. If you want to customize weapons, go to the blacksmith shop. If you want to buy finished weapons, go to the weapons workshop.
Liu Mang and others went to a weapons workshop and found that weapons with ten steel-refining levels generally cost seven or eight hundred taels of silver, and weapons with one hundred steel-refining levels cost seven or eight hundred taels, which were generally 20 to 30 percent cheaper than Jiangcheng.
On top of hundreds of steel-making, there are also weapons fused with dark iron, which are more expensive. There are only a few weapons shops, and they are often the treasures of the hall.
Liu Mang pulled out his golden straight sword and showed it to the owner of the weapons workshop, Hu. The owner couldn't take his eyes away for an instant.
"This is a sword that is at least 30% of black iron!"
