"All my stuff disappeared in that wave. If that merchant hadn't given me a secret recipe, I'm afraid I would have lost my ability to make a living..."
Zhang Mingtu remained silent.
People's joys and sorrows are not the same. For ordinary people, floods in the Yangtze River at any time are a disaster for them.
But for those wealthy families with plenty of surplus wealth, the flooding of the Yangtze River was actually a good thing for them. In the past, it was not a disaster year, and even if the taxes were high, people who had fields to farm and fish by the river could all have something to eat.
They wanted to lower the price to buy the good farmland. The price of a farm worth ten taels of silver could be lowered to eight taels at most, no less.
Only during these years of disaster, when the food was washed away and even the pots, pans, and utensils disappeared, were they able to purchase fertile land at extremely low prices.
At this time, people who had no food to eat had no way to sell their ancestral property at a low price immediately, but in order to survive, they had to make such a decision. One was to starve to death now, and the other was to starve to death in the future. They were clear about the choice between starving to death.
For the demons in the Yangtze River, or the demons in the Yangtze River, the flood disaster is a carnival. They probably look forward to the arrival of the rainy season every year, and wait for that moment to feast every year.
Zhang Mingtu was originally in an impulsive mood, but now he felt a little heavy.
The middle-aged shop owner also knew that this was a bad topic, so he smiled and changed the subject.
"My bad, my bad, I shouldn't have mentioned this. Sigh, but it would be wonderful if there really was a Dragon King by the river, and if he could really bring good weather and good harvests."
The middle-aged shop owner sighed.
Zhang Mingtu didn't say much and finished the bowl of noodles silently.
After eating, I walked out leisurely. Not long after I walked away, someone exclaimed.
"There's a fire, there's a fire, there's a fire in Happy Forest!"
Zhang Mingtu looked up and saw thick smoke billowing from the area where Happy Forest was located.
His eyesight was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he could even see the Yihong Courtyard surrounded by raging flames through the thick fog.
"Dogs finally bite dogs!"
The corners of Zhang Mingtu's mouth curled up slightly.
He walked forward calmly. When he reached the vicinity of Happy Forest, the six relevant police chiefs had already blocked off the area. Special personnel dismantled several wooden houses next to Yihong Courtyard to form an isolation zone to prevent the fire from spreading and causing the entire Happy Forest to burn.
Among the Six Gates, there was a man with a cold aura all over his body. He threw one ice talisman after another into the fire. Every time he threw one, the originally raging flames were suppressed a lot.
When Zhang Mingtu approached, the huge flames had basically been suppressed, and well-equipped personnel were already moving people out of the wooden house one by one.
Zhang Mingtu stood on the periphery and watched quietly. Many of the people who were moved out were women from Yihongyuan. These women who used to make people blush and dizzy no longer had that enchanting look on their faces. They were all burned beyond recognition and their bodies were charred.
Among them were some men with short arms and legs and short stature. Some people recognized that many of them were pimps, but the identities of some of them were difficult to identify.
Zhang Mingtu knew very well that this should be the person who controlled the poisonous insects on Yuan Bowen's line, and all the related people would be quickly killed by them.
All the people who had contact with the original blog and knew about this part of the situation died in this conflict.
The other party's methods are very decisive and resolute.
They knew that they could not attract the attention of Daxia, especially the attention of Dongchang.
"Wuwuwuwu~ I don't know which bastard set the fire. This is murder for money, murder for money. My Lord, you must help me!"
On the other side, a bronze-plated captain at the 6th door stood beside a plump, delicate-looking woman. She was crying so hard that even her delicate makeup had smudged, but she didn't look ugly. Instead, she looked pitiful.
The burly, bronze-plated captain spoke softly to comfort her, without any of the harshness or harsh words he used in handling cases in the past.
Being dragged by the arm by the courtesan of Yihong Courtyard, the Jade-faced Fox who was difficult to approach in the past, he felt overwhelmed.
Zhang Mingtu watched the jade-faced fox's performance quietly from the side, with a sneer on his face.
Even with his eyes, he could not see the demonic aura on the jade-faced fox. It could only be said that after a long period of development in the Land of the Rising Sun, humans and demons lived together, and it was really difficult to tell whether it was a human or a demon.
