The boy didn't know Wu Gang, and what he knew about his name and experience were all hearsay.
However, the young man believed that he had indeed seen this man before.
It was at the training ground of the Laughing Puppet a few years ago, and this man seemed to be one of the trainers of the Laughing Puppet.
There are many members of different races among the instructors of the Smiling Puppet, and such a tall male human is still very conspicuous among them, so the boy still has some impressions of him.
Of course, the young man was not very sure at first, but Wu Gang called his real name in the first sentence when they first met, which meant that Wu Gang knew about him, and Wu Gang had also been notified of his being sent to Iron Feather City.
This confirmed the young man's guess. Wu Gang was actually a member of the Smiling Puppet, and was even a backbone member.
From this point of view, the so-called "Owl" and the entire Iron Feather City are probably inextricably related to the Smiling Puppet.
Can a killer organization be so powerful?
Thinking of this, the young man suddenly understood what "careful thinking" means. The situation in this world is far from being as simple as he thought before.
Closer to home, since Wu Gang was also the instructor of the Smiling Puppet, and in his memory he was standing side by side with Ming Die behind the ordinary instructors. It means that Wu Gang's strength is probably on par with Ming Die, even if there is some gap, at least
He is also a strong player on the same level.
Another guy who has almost no chance of winning against him.
Even if Wu Gang doesn't take action, the black-armored guards behind Wu Gang can still feed him a pot.
"I'll do whatever you want."
It was precisely because he understood that his resistance would be useless that he obediently raised his hands and surrendered. A head-on confrontation would only make him die faster.
Seeing how calm the young man was, Wu Gang grinned and said, "It seems you are more obedient than I knew."
At this time, Wu Gang's copper bell-sized eyes were staring closely at the young man's eyes, and the young man stared back without any timidity.
Wu Gang raised the corner of his mouth and turned his gaze to the female slave behind the boy. He asked: "Are you doing it for this woman? Who is she to you?"
Did he just laugh?
Wu Gang's attitude left the young man confused, and he didn't know how to answer the next question.
At this time, the woman held up her dirty skirt and ran to Wu Gang, knelt down in front of him, kowtowed and said:
"Sir, I don't know or have anything to do with this child."
".Well.....?"
The boy's body froze, and he thought he knew what this woman wanted to do.
At this time, it is indeed wise to decisively distance yourself from yourself.
It's just a little... chilling.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Wu Gang looked down at the woman at his feet, as if he had encountered something interesting.
"I begged him to help me, and I was the one who disturbed the guards."
In the young man's stunned eyes, the woman continued:
"The fault this time is all mine. I caused the commotion here. If you want to punish me, just punish me."
What?
The unexpected answer made the young man feel at a loss again.
Am I actually being protected?
this......
The young man was still frozen in place with a look of astonishment, while Wu Gang turned to the woman and said with a joking expression: "Oh? Does that mean you are ready to receive fifty lashes?"
"Well?!"
Upon hearing this verdict, the woman's eyes were immediately filled with fear.
The punishment Wu Gang mentioned is the most common whipping in Tieyu City.
The whip used in flogging is a nine-section whip, which can break bones and bones with one whip in the hands of the brutal executioners in Tieyu City.
Of course, if it is a normal execution, in order to make the victim feel enough pain, the executioner will of course use much less force, but each whip can still tear you to pieces.
Moreover, the victim will be hung on a wooden frame that can restrain the limbs, because whipping does not only attack the thick buttocks like "beating the board", and the whole body of the victim is targeted.
Just ten lashes can make a strong adult man unable to get out of bed for three days, and twenty lashes can kill a horse.
Wu Gang said "fifty lashes", unless it is really steel and iron, no one can survive to the end.
Moreover, whipping will not stop because the victim goes into shock midway. Even if the victim has been whipped to death, the whipping will still be completed as long as there is any remaining whipping.
If these fifty lashes are finished, even Duan Gang will probably be broken.
Although Wu Gang's words did not mention execution, it is almost the same as being sentenced to death. If there is a difference, it is that this sentence is not a way to die.
"No, she lied."
Since it happened by yourself, you should honestly take all the responsibilities.
The young man had no intention of watching the woman accept the fate of being beaten to death. He stood between Wu Gang and the woman, looked up at Wu Gang and said:
"I just wanted to do it myself. I also caused the commotion. This eldest sister has no responsibility."
"Yo? It's interesting."
Wu Gang grinned, and in this seemingly stupid smile, the young man saw the cruelty in this man's heart.
"Then what's the reason for your action?"
"It just makes them unhappy."
The young man stared straight into Wu Gang's eyes, his aura showing no trace of timidity.
He didn't think that as a gladiator in the Coliseum, he would be sentenced to death for such a thing. A slave who became a gladiator still had the right to stand out his chest when walking on the street, and he was not an animal that could be killed at will. Before the boy
The purpose of deliberately not killing the three guards was to prevent things from getting into an irreversible situation.
"Ha ha!"
Wu Gang stared into the young man's dark eyes, laughed twice and said:
"What an interesting reason."
"Well?"
Wu Gang's answer made the young man unable to grasp what he meant, and he couldn't figure out what this seemingly reckless man was feeling.
"What about you? Why are you here looking for trouble with my people."
Before the young man could say anything, Wu Gang had already turned the conversation to the woman behind him.
"It's my daughter."
The woman choked and said to Wu Gang:
"My daughter was chosen by a customer last night, but no one informed me, and she was taken away this morning."
"Oh? We didn't notify you? Although we don't have any requirement to notify relatives."
Wu Gang frowned and continued:
"But there should be notifications from the prostitutes' parlor where you are, right? Aren't you prostitutes very well-informed?"
Especially when that woman exists.
Thinking of that woman, Wu Gang had some unpleasant premonitions in his heart.
"Yes, I know, but..."
When the woman was thinking of ways to explain, a calm and clear female voice suddenly intervened in the topic:
"She encountered a difficult customer yesterday and didn't get up until almost noon, so she wasn't notified in time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who came here let out a chuckle, and then continued: "I was so anxious at that time? I just told her this, and she came out without even putting on makeup."
"Oh? Lanji, are you going to interfere in this matter?"
Although Wu Gang was asking questions, his expression showed no sense of surprise. It was obvious that the arrival of the other party had been expected by him.
"Of course, Lana is one of my subordinates. Aren't you also standing up for your own subordinates?"
This young woman wearing a light blue pleated skirt ignored the black-armored guards holding weapons and walked through the gaps in the formation with steps that were both elegant and efficient.
"Who is this person?"
The young man did not know this charming woman, and he had never thought that there could be such a person in this filthy Iron Feather City.
When Lan Ji walked towards them, she had a dignified smile on her lips. When she noticed the boy's gaze and met it, the boy noticed that the curvature of the corners of her mouth seemed to have changed, and the already heart-tugging smile became even more...
The softness made him feel a little dazed.
She smiled at me?
Why?
The young man blinked in confusion. He didn't understand what the other person meant, but he could feel that there was no malice in the other person's eyes, and he probably wasn't an enemy.
"Oh!"
Wu Gang sneered and said:
"There is no use for you to come here. These two attacked the city guards and caused market riots. It is a capital crime."
"oh?"
Lan Ji chuckled lightly and continued to walk in front of Wu Gang at a leisurely pace. She raised her head and looked at him. Then she reversed her previous gentle attitude and spoke in a tough yet polite tone.
"Lord Wu Gang, none of your people will die, right? Why should you kill my people?"
"They broke the rules and deserve to be killed."
"wrong."
Lan Ji closed her eyes and shook her head, then looked into Wu Gang's eyes again and said:
"You are the ones who broke the rules."
"How do you say this?"
Being confronted like this, Wu Gang couldn't help but feel angry, but he couldn't help but stare at Lan Ji's blue eyes like water.
"Lana wants to see her daughter and have a close relationship. Everyone has a mother. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"this......"
Wu Gang was speechless.
"The root cause of the turmoil is that your people made things difficult for her, which led to the turmoil in the market. This fault lies with you."
"really?"
Wu Gang uttered a question, but Lan Ji immediately said:
"If you don't believe it, you can ask for evidence later and you will know the cause of the matter."
These words made Wu Gang frown. He heard Lan Ji's tone of voice was very determined. It was obvious that she had made enough preparations before coming.
"Then what about this kid who attacked the guard? He was the one who struck first."
Wu Gang turned his gaze to the young man, and the young man felt murderous intent from his gaze. Now that Wu Gang was so angry, he might actually move his head.
Realizing this, the young man quickly leaned towards Lan Ji next to him.
He knew that the only current supporter was this woman who could make Wu Gang even give in to him.
"This is also your fault first."
When Lan Ji saw the young man leaning towards her, she waved her sleeves to protect him behind her, making her position clear.
"Your people forced the prostitutes from our prostitute house to dance in the market. The place was outside the prostitute house and they didn't pay any fees. Isn't this illegal?"
"oh?"
The corners of Wu Gang's mouth twitched, and his upper and lower teeth made a small sound as he endured the anger in his heart.
"All our prostitutes are owned by the City Lord before they are sold. And your people are using the City Lord's things like this, shouldn't they be punished?"
In her words, Lan Ji moved the city lord Feng Ze out. With this mountain pressing down, even Wu Gang couldn't say anything more.
"Then what does this have to do with this kid?"
There was anger in Wu Gang's words, and he felt very aggrieved by being so passive.
Lan Ji smiled lightly and grabbed the shoulders of the young man behind her, pushed him in front of her, and said, "This little brother is the newly hired bodyguard of our prostitute house."
"Ah? Yes, yes! I am!!"
The young man was stunned for a moment, wondering when he had this identity. At this moment, he felt a slight impact on his heel. Only then did he react and immediately nodded and acknowledged his inexplicable identity.
Lan Ji slapped her forehead and said in a distressed tone: "Recently, there are a lot of guests who don't want to pay after they have finished enjoying themselves. We weak women can't even protect ourselves, let alone the property of the city lord."
Wu Gang raised his brows, squinted his eyes and asked, "Do you think my people are untrustworthy? We can't compare to this young boy."
The man in front of him was exuding pressure from the superior warriors. The mountain-like pressure made cold sweat break out on the young man's forehead. However, Lan Ji behind the young man still said calmly: "You guys are busy every day.
I can't count on the busy military men, and you are also guests in our store, so how can we take care of our guests?"
"Besides, I think..."
Lan Ji paused after speaking, and placed her hands on the young man's shoulders with increased strength.
