"I don't know how much money the Liao family pays to the prefectural governor's mansion every year. The good-for-nothings in the prefectural governor's mansion take the money and spend every day in the brothel, not caring about the lives of ordinary people like us."
"As for the governor, he has always turned a blind eye. He only cares about the 8,000 elite soldiers under his command. To him, as long as he has these soldiers in his hands, we ordinary people can't make trouble!"
"That's right, this governor is such a bastard. When the bandits came to the barbarian city to rob, he chose not to resist in order to preserve his troops, and let the bandits rob us civilians!"
"Some people went to the capital to file a complaint against him, but without exception, none of them returned. I guess the governor sent someone to kill him, or maybe the governor has too strong a backer in the capital, and we ordinary people can't do anything about him!"
"In short, we can't live like this anymore!"
Many people couldn't help but complain, and for a time, public resentment was boiling.
Chen Xuan frowned when he heard this.
"So, the Governor's Mansion and the three major families in Barbarian City are really a bunch of bastards who are in cahoots with each other. They only know how to bully the people and do nothing about human affairs!"
"Hush, my friend, keep your voice down. This is something you shouldn't say. If this gets to the governor, you'll lose your life."
"Let alone the governor, even if it gets to the three major families, it will be enough to get you skinned alive."
"Last time, a man cursed the Liao family on the street for deliberately raising grain prices, saying that he would be struck by lightning. As a result, he was hanged on the city wall the next day. Now, life is getting harder and harder for us ordinary people."
I don't know how many people sighed.
There were even old people and women who couldn't help wiping away their tears, their faces filled with despair.
Suddenly, someone said, "I heard that a fierce man came yesterday and beat up Zhang Tianci, the son of the prefectural governor, at the city gate. It is said that he also killed a captain and a centurion. Commander Ling Mo personally went out to fight, but in the end he couldn't do anything about him and let him enter the city!"
"Hey, your information is too outdated. As far as I know, this fierce man not only beat Zhang Tianci yesterday, but also caused a big commotion in Chen's house. In the end, he beat Qin Hao from the Qin family on the street, took Qin Hao hostage, and forced the Qin family to pay a ransom!"
"Is this true? Is this guy so powerful? Isn't he afraid of retaliation?"
"Of course I took revenge. One of my relatives is from the government. He told me that the governor mobilized 4,000 elite soldiers to surround that fierce man yesterday and force him to hand over the person and make amends. Guess what happened in the end?"
"What?"
Everyone immediately craned their necks to look at the person who was speaking.
The man coughed twice deliberately, pretending to be mysterious, and said, "Damn it, in the end it was the governor who gave in and let the Qin and Chen families each pay 25,000 taels of silver to redeem the man!"
"Oh my god, is this true?"
"Of course it's true!"
"No wonder those soldiers didn't come to my restaurant to eat and drink for free yesterday. It turns out they were transferred away by the governor!"
"This fierce man is too powerful. He actually dares to confront the governor head-on!"
“I wonder if he is a good person and whether he will stand up for us ordinary people?”
Many people looked expectant.
But soon someone poured cold water on it.
"You think too much. I think in the end, he will be in cahoots with the governor and his gang."
"Well, that's true. We ordinary people are just cattle and horses. We can be pigs and dogs, but we can't be humans."
All around, there are various voices and opinions.
Hearing the people mention him and telling their stories, Chen Xuan couldn't help but have a strange feeling.
At the same time, he could clearly feel the resentment of the people towards the three major families and the prefectural government.
It seems that Zhang Tao is also a guy who doesn't care about his job. No wonder his son Zhang Tianci is so arrogant and domineering.
at the same time.
Yihong Courtyard.
This is the largest brothel in the Barbarian City. In addition to local girls, there are also girls from other places, even blonde and blue-eyed foreign girls.
Liao Jun was in the Tianzihao private room, surrounded by beauties on both sides, his hands constantly moving up and down the bodies of the women around him, he was intoxicated with the life of luxury.
"Mr. Liao, try the grapes shipped from my hometown. They are very sweet."
A beautiful woman with Western appearance put a peeled grape into Liao Jun's mouth with a charming look on her face.
Liao Jun ate the grapes while staring at her, grinning and saying, "The grapes from your hometown aren't that good, not as delicious as yours."
"Oh, Mr. Liao, you are annoying."
"Mr. Liao, you are so bad!"
These women all acted coquettishly and with seductive eyes.
"Hahaha!"
Liao Jun laughed heartily, his face full of pride. He really enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by women.
Dongdong——
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the box: "Sir, I have something to report!"
The smile on Liao Jun's face instantly faded, and he said unhappily, "What's the matter? Can't you see that I'm having fun with the beauties?"
You didn't open the door, so we servants could only hear the sounds but of course didn't see anything.
"Sir, it's Old Li from the blacksmith shop. He's working on it himself. I heard he wants to make a silver spear for someone. There are already a lot of people gathered at the scene."
"What did you say?"
Hera!
The door was opened instantly, and Liao Jun, with disheveled clothes, was covered with lip marks.
However, at this moment, there was no trace of that happy, god-like smile on his face. Instead, his eyes suddenly became gloomy.
"Did that old fellow Li Tieguai make weapons for others?"
The servant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, trembling all over. He knew clearly how serious the consequences would be if this young master got angry.
Anyone who angers him at this time will surely die!
"To answer your question, yes."
Hearing this, Liao Jun's face turned grim, and he sneered: "The old guy is really fucking tired of living. I asked him to make a few weapons for me, but he kept refusing, making all kinds of excuses, saying that he had stopped and would never forge weapons again in his life. But now he is forging silver spears for others, right?"
"Okay, very good, this is not taking me seriously! This is a slap in the face of my Liao family!"
"Does he think that the treasure bestowed by the late emperor can keep him safe for the rest of his life? He has already angered the governor by not making weapons for him. If the late emperor had not given him a dagger, he would have died hundreds of times already!"
"The governor has already lost patience with him. Now, he even dares to make weapons for others behind our backs. Everyone in the Barbarian City knows that he rejected the governor and my Liao family. He is deliberately slapping my Liao family and the governor in the face!"
"It seems that this old guy is really tired of living!"
The sneer on Liao Jun's face became more intense.
