() Several injured wild boars were beaten to death by farmers and slaves with hoes and shovels. They destroyed a section of the aqueduct, causing trouble, but also paid the price with their lives. Their meat was used by farmers and slaves to beat
The Dunya Festival can be regarded as repayment for the damage to aqueducts and farmland.
Hua Die ran towards Luo Manduo excitedly and shouted from afar: "Luo, it would be great if you came. If you hadn't taken action in time, the farm's losses would have been even greater."
Not called City Lord Luo Manduo, nor Luo Manduo Xiaoluo, but just "Luo", just like the affectionate name between lovers. No woman wants to be a few years older than the man she likes, and Hua Die is not an exception.
In front of Luo Manduo, she never mentioned her age, let alone called Luo Manduo "Little Luo".
"Sister Die." Luo Manduo looked very polite and said, "Are there often wild boars coming to cause trouble recently?"
A hint of resentment flashed in Huadie's eyes. Soon, she returned to normal. She shook her head and said, "No, this is the first time."
"It's strange. The terrain here is open, there are no woods, and it's far away from the mountains. How come there are wild boars coming to cause trouble?" Luo Manduo frowned, thinking about something in his mind.
"Luo..." Huadie's voice was very soft, and she stopped talking.
"Sister Die, let's go take a look at those wild boars. I suspect this didn't happen by chance. Someone might be causing trouble behind the scenes." Luo Manduo said thoughtfully. He walked towards the place where the wild boar carcasses were piled.
Huadie sighed faintly and followed Luo Manduo. They said that a man chases a woman across a mountain, and a woman chases a man. The paper between them will be broken with a light poke. But when she heard this, it didn't matter.
After a while, Luo Manduo always avoided her intentionally or unintentionally, not giving her a chance to get closer to her.
Emotional matters are not things that can be said and done.
A large group of slaves and farmers surrounded the wild boar, discussing whether it would be better to make braised pork or barbecue. When Luo Mando came, they all got out of the way. Whether they were free farmers or slaves, they all respected them very much.
Luo Manduo. In fact, when working on Luo Manduo's farm, the difference between farmer and slave is just a title, and slaves also enjoy the same treatment and benefits - only Luo Manduo is the only one who leaves the city in Japan, and even in the entire Xuanfa Continent.
Mando is willing to pay wages to the slaves. And there is no supervisor with a whip to force them to work. Therefore, the respect of the slaves here for Mando comes from the heart and is not false at all.
The farmers and slaves also fell silent and stopped talking about cooking. The whole scene was silent.
Luo Manduo squatted next to the carcass of a wild boar, carefully checking for clues. Soon, he discovered that the wild boar had damage on its front hooves, and there were also signs of being tied up with ropes or chains on its neck. Then,
He checked the carcasses of other wild boars, and the results were the same. Each wild boar had scars on its trotters, and there were also signs of being tied with ropes or chains on its neck.
"These wild boars were caught and deliberately put into our farm to cause trouble. There are scars on their hooves that are similar to those caught in traps, and there are also traces of being tied up with ropes or chains on their necks," Luo Manduo said.
expressed his opinion.
"Damn it! Who is it?" Zang Fen said angrily: "You don't dare to fight us head-on. What's the difference between doing this and being a villain?"
"Could it be...the Duanmu family?" Huadie has never had the slightest fondness for the Duanmu family.
"It's possible for the servants of Zhan De, people from the Duanmu family, and people who open casinos and brothels, even people whose land we have expropriated. We have touched the interests of some people, and these people want to
It’s not surprising that they are our enemies. But I don’t think that the servants of Zhan De and Duanmu Heng would do such low-level things. If they want to deal with us, it will definitely be a big deal and a big event, and it won’t be just catching a few animals.
It's as simple as a wild boar coming to cause trouble," Luo Manduo said.
"Sir, do you mean Chen Ziqiao, or the owners of those two brothels?" Zang Fen guessed, following Luo Manduo's train of thought.
There are a total of four jails in Richu City, two of which are the property of the Duanmu family, and the other two belong to the two bullies in Richu City. Ma Wuji is making preparations to deal with Chen Ziqiao, and has not touched the two jails yet. Once they are cleaned up
After Chen Ziqiao was killed, Luo Manduo's next step was to take care of the two brothels. Those two bullies would not sit still and wait for death, so it was possible to do something small in advance to give Luo Manduo a warning.
The owners of the two brothels, the bullies who left the city, were named Tang Jian and Feng Yu Wenchang. The situation of these two people had long been investigated by Luo Manduo's new "Xuanqing Bureau". That one
Feng Yuwenzhang also left a deep impression on Luo Manduo because of his special name.
These two bullies have been entrenched in Richu City for many years. In previous years, they attached themselves to the former city lord Zou Bituo. They bullied men and women, forced good girls into prostitution, and did all kinds of bad things. The people of Richu City hated them to the core, but they only dared to get angry.
Dare not say anything. If Luo Manduo wants to deal with them, he will not show mercy at all.
"I'm not sure yet. If it's really those two guys, they will pay a hundred times the price for this." Luo Manduo's voice was cold.
Wicked people have their own troubles, and he is a wicked person. If those two guys were really up to something, he just found an excuse to attack them.
"Sister Die, organize some people to patrol in the future so that you don't get messed up again. You don't have to worry, this is a small matter, I will handle it. That's it for today, I have to go to the mine to have a look." Luo Manduo got up.
said.
Huadie was a little disappointed and nodded silently. She wanted to spend some time alone with Luo Manduo to talk and chat, but in front of so many people, she did not have the courage to make such a request.
Luo Manduo left the farm with Zang Fen and headed for the mine located in the Hunduan Mountains. When he came, Zang Fen rode an ox cart, and when he went to the mine, he rode a pack horse from the farm. The pack horse
The running speed was not fast, Luo Manduo could slow down, and Zang Fen could barely catch up.
A god-level component has been added to the sacrificer. Its comprehensive performance has been greatly improved, and its speed and agility are far higher than before. Therefore, let alone a pack horse, even Zang Fen can run very fast.
Even a war horse cannot hope to outrun Luo Manduo, who is wearing a sacrificial body.
One after the other, half an hour later the two came to a canyon in the Hunduan Mountains. Leading to the outside of the mountain was a simple road dug by man, which could barely accommodate an ox cart. The end of the simple road was
It was the iron ore mine that Luo Manduo took over from Zou Bituo.
Those who worked in the mine were not farmers or slaves, but prisoners who had left the city. In order to save labor and make greater profits, Zou Bituo imprisoned all the prisoners who had left the city in the mine.
Mining for him. Those who mine are prisoners, so the ones who look after these prisoners are naturally the team of jailers who leave the city.
The jailer team that left the city consisted of fifty people. It was also the only force of Zou Bituo that had not had direct contact with Luo Mando during Luo Mando's seizure of power. After taking over the mine, Luo Mando also asked Zang Burning to
He sent his own people to monitor the movements of the mine. Some time ago, he also understood and controlled the mine through the intelligence of the people who were placed in the jailer team. This is the first time he has actually come to the mine.
once.
After becoming the city lord, there are more things like this and that. He has to worry about everything, and he also has enough time to practice, so he never has time to take a look. Now, the mine is right in front of him.
When he saw it, he felt inexplicably sad. At the same time, a surge of anger slowly rose in his heart.
The first impression he saw was that a jailer was beating a teenage boy with a whip. The boy was crying and begging for mercy, rolling on the ground, but the whip still fell on him mercilessly.
It hit his body, and his skin was torn and blood splattered.
The vicious jailer beat the poor boy with a whip and yelled: "Little beast, let you be lazy! Let you be lazy! I'll beat you to death! Let's see if you dare to be lazy in the future!"
"I don't dare anymore. Brother, please spare me. No, uncle, please... spare me... ah..." The young man held his head and rolled on the ground. The blood wet the ground and him.
tattered prison uniform.
Next to the jailer beating the boy, a tall, thin, middle-aged man with a sinister face was sitting on a bamboo deck chair, drinking tea and admiring the brutal scene. When the boy screamed in pain, the corner of his mouth was still
A cruel smile appeared from time to time.
"The man sitting drinking tea is the warden Wu Xin who is in charge of the jailer team. This man is cruel and bloodthirsty, and the prisoners here are all afraid of him." Zang Fen said simply.
In fact, it goes without saying that Luo Manduo had already guessed Wu Xin's identity based on the intelligence and the scene he saw before him.
Romando strode over, and the footsteps of the sacrificer were heavy and loud.
Zang Fen whipped the packhorse fiercely and ran in front of Luo Manduo. He shouted loudly: "The Lord of the City has arrived!"
The jailer who was immersed in the pleasure of torturing people suddenly woke up, and the whip held high above his head was lowered involuntarily. Wu Xin, who was sitting on the recliner, glanced at the door, but did not get up to greet him, and continued to sit and drink his tea.
.It wasn't until Zang Fen entered the gate and Luo Manduo also walked in that he stood up, greeted him lazily, bent down and saluted, "Your Majesty, Wu Xin."
"Wu Xin, how many years have you been the warden of Richu City?" Luo Manduo asked.
"My lord, it has been twelve years." Wu Xin said, "Thanks to the guidance and trust of Lord Zou Bituo, I have been in charge of this mine prison for twelve years."
Luo Manduo immediately understood why Wu Xin's attitude towards him, the new city lord, was so false and forced. This guy still remembered Zou Bituo's support. He had controlled this mine prison for Zou Bituo for twelve years.
Earning one after another hard-earned money for Zou Bituo, there is no doubt that he is Zou Bituo's most die-hard confidant. The blood of loyalty to Zou Bituo flows in his bones, so in some ironclad
Given the circumstances and conditions, could he stab someone in the back?
Whether he does it or not depends entirely on Wu Xin's thought.
Luo Manduo suddenly made a decision in his heart that even he felt was sudden and surprising. Luo Manduo suddenly stretched out his hand and put the right fist of God's Punishment on Wu Xin's shoulder. He smiled and said: "Very good, a prison like yours"
The commander is an experienced warden. I will leave the prisoners who have left the city to you to manage, so I can rest assured."
This is a sentence of encouragement from a superior to his subordinates, full of praise and trust. However, in this sentence, every time Luo Manduo says a word, Wu Xin's face becomes uglier. His face becomes ugly.
It was still very rosy, but in the blink of an eye, there was no trace of blood on his face. What was even weirder was that a thin layer of frost appeared on his skin!
After Luo Manduo finished speaking, Wu Xin fell straight back. His body hit the ground hard and did not move again. It was afternoon, the sun had not set yet, and the sun was shining brightly above his head, but he
It was frozen in the ice cellar for several years and turned into an ice corpse!
The eye armor made of snake jade also exerted its characteristics, giving the sacrificer icy attack power. Luo Manduo put the right fist of divine punishment on Wu Xin's shoulder, and two or three times after that
When he took a breath, the inside of his body, including his internal organs and blood, were frozen!
"Sir..." The jailer next to him came to his senses. He called "Sir", but the person he called was not Luo Manduo, but his immediate superior Wu Xin.
The tip of a sharp knife suddenly emerged from the jailer's chest. A strange sound came from his throat, and then he fell to the ground.
This time, it was Zang Fen who took action.
To follow Luo Mando, stabbing people in the back is a skill that must be mastered.
