"What's more, it's that guy, let's settle all the new and old grudges together."
Listening to Cang Lin's firm words and looking at the eager eyes of the children, Ximen Xuanyu compromised.
"Well, I still have some face in this Pixiu City, I will redeem him."
"No need for you, Uncle, we can do this..."
Cang Lin and the others whispered to each other for a few words, and then everyone started to act.
At this time, the guards were tying up the man. The man roared and cursed for a while, and then started crying, but was still dragged towards the flower field by the guards.
"Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, where are you taking my Da Zhuang?"
At this time, Kong Qing put on his tattered clothes again and pounced on the man.
While the man was still confused, Kong Qing said to the patrol captain, "My grandson Wu broke into the flower field. Didn't you say you would let us go as long as we compensate for the losses? You asked me to go and raise money. I haven't come back yet, and you treat my grandson like this. It's against justice!"
The captain of the guard frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Just as the patrol captain was about to argue, a few young men with mud on their faces ran out.
"Da Zhuang, here are the 3,000 low-density magic crystals I collected for you."
Cang Lin said with a troubled look on his face: "This is the last of my assets since I came to Pixiu City. Even if I take it all out, it won't be enough."
Yingmi took out a low-density magic crystal from her pocket and cried, "Brother, you asked me to go buy steamed buns, but I won't go. I'm not hungry anymore. I'll give you money as compensation."
Yuan Jun threw himself into the man's arms, yelling, "Brother, 100 mid-level magic crystals are too many. We can't gather enough, we can't gather enough!"
As Yuan Jun spoke, he rolled on the man and said something quickly in his ear.
The man was stunned for a moment, then immediately changed his expression to one of mourning.
"I'm sorry, the smell coming from the crack was too strong, so my little squid rushed in, causing a disaster. We can't even pay it back even if we spend our whole lives picking flowers."
Everyone at the scene was stunned by this operation.
The captain of the guard said coldly: "What do you mean by one hundred kinds of secret magic crystals? Explain to me."
The patrol captain said: "Don't listen to their nonsense. I didn't ask for compensation. I don't know where they came from. They are all troublemakers. Arrest them quickly."
At this time, Yingmi burst into tears and grabbed the patrol captain and said, "Big brother, please don't take my brother away. I will definitely find a good job in Pixiu City and return every one of them to you."
"No, little sister, this Pixiu City is a place where people are eaten. How can you earn back these magic crystals?"
The corners of Cang Lin's mouth twitched, and Yuan Jun also shuddered. This kid is quite savvy. With this acting, even they, the screenwriters, were fooled by him.
The patrol captain was very angry. This bold outsider dared to slander him. He raised his foot and was about to kick Yingmi.
When Cang Lin saw this, he quickly protected him, and then both of them were kicked away. Cang Lin spat out a mouthful of blood when he fell to the ground.
"Brother!" Yuan Jun cried miserably and threw himself at the patrol captain's feet.
"When we were just at the edge, you asked for 50 medium-density magic crystals. We no longer have magic crystals to compensate you. If you want to force us outsiders to die in the flower fields, just say so directly. Don't use such means."
The patrol captain was furious and was about to kick Yuan Jun away when the noises around him started to get louder.
Because they are all outsiders now, they have all been blackmailed by this captain, and now they can't help but see him bullying outsiders like this.
"I originally thought that this Pixiu City was prosperous, with strict order and fair treatment, but I didn't expect it to be a place where people are eaten alive."
"Just now, the captain asked me to pay for the guide fee to get to three medium-density magic crystals."
"Me too. We were asked to take eight pills in total."
“I have five.”
People were talking at once, and the patrol captain was a little flustered. He shouted, "You poor outsiders, I don't even care about a few magic crystals from you!"
"If you don't care, just spit it out."
"Give it back to us, and we'll leave. We don't have to stay here and be used as fertilizer."
The captain of the guards' face grew increasingly gloomy, and he had no choice but to ask, "Did this man steal the flowers, or did he accidentally destroy them?"
Before the patrol leader could explain, people around him started talking again.
"Didn't you ask them to compensate you? Then you falsely accuse them of stealing. How can you be the captain with this kind of character?"
"Exactly. I also heard they were going to search my storage bag and take my magic beast."
"Captain is amazing, lawless"
"Yoyo, you are wrong. Officials protect each other. I think this time it can be handled fairly. Hang on..."
The captain of the guard finally understood the situation. With so many people saying this, the right and wrong were very clear.
Damn termites, they have destroyed the reputation of Pixiu City and must not be forgiven.
"How dare you not only use your power to make money, but also bully outsiders. Who gave you the courage to ask for 100 medium-level magic crystals? Your actions have caused great hardship to Pixiu City.
No wonder fewer and fewer people come to the city recently, it turns out it’s you.”
The patrol captain was very panicked. No, he didn't want that many magic crystals at all. The guard captain was such an idiot. How could he come up with such a number? How many people could afford it? Didn't he use his brain?
“I didn’t do that.”
"Come here, take the patrol captain away and report him to the city lord for his punishment."
"Why? I'm the patrol captain. We're all captains. You have no right to arrest me."
"Whether you have the right or not, go and talk to the city lord."
The patrol leader was pulled away, and there was a cheer all around.
"Thank you for saving my brother."
Ying Mi said softly. The captain of the guard looked at her for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "Since you have been wrongly accused, the matter of the flower field will not be pursued. You can all go!"
After saying that, several guards untied the man and rode away on their mounts.
The crowd came over and surrounded the few survivors.
"Little girl, take these magic crystals. Don't eat steamed buns anymore. Buy something else delicious."
"Old man, let me give you these magic crystals as travel expenses. This Pixiu City is not friendly to outsiders like us, and we can't make it without magic crystals!"
"Young man, take these magic crystals to see a magic doctor. This vomiting of blood, is there anything wrong with it?"
In an instant, Cang Lin and his team harvested countless magic crystals. Everyone sent the enthusiastic crowd away with profuse gratitude, and then carried the rescued people back to the turtle.
"Thank you all for your help. My surname is Yu, a single character, and I come from the Hokuriku Muyu family."
