"What? Are you going to the north of the city?" The man was shocked when he heard that Fang Jinzhi was really going to the north of the city. It was okay to ask him to chat and introduce the local customs to Fang Jinzhi, but if he really went to that devil's cave, he really didn't dare to go.
"Huh!?" Fang Jinzhi hummed, and immediately the two guards behind him pulled out their waist knives. Seeing this posture, the man knew that he had met a strong man, but he was still unwilling to go to the north of the city. He said aggrievedly: "Master, you have a lot of money, please let the little one go." "I will return your money to you. I will go up." There is also an eighty-year-old mother with a newborn child. She really doesn't want to die." Seeing this person's appearance, Fang Jinzhi was surprised that the north of the city was so terrifying, could it make people cry?
But judging from the fact that this person was only in his twenties, and how could he be an eighty-year-old mother, he was probably lying. Fang Jinzhi didn't have a good look on this kind of person at all, and snorted coldly: "Humph, why don't you take us over now to have a look at this devil's cave, or I will send you directly to the West." "Choose one of the two, you choose." After saying that, the guard behind him stepped forward and put the sword on the man's neck. No matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail.
With the shining sword right in front of him, this man no longer dared to show off in front of Fang Jinzhi, and honestly began to lead Fang Jinzhi from the front. Fang Jinzhi saw that this man was still on the right track, so he did not embarrass him. Instead, he comforted him and said, "I will lead the way as expected. As long as I get to the place and see what I want to see, I will naturally not embarrass you." "We're here." At that time, if we are satisfied, we will give you more money." The man nodded fearfully and said:
"Actually, all I know about the north of the city is what I heard." "Only big businessmen are qualified to enter there, and ordinary people like us are not qualified to enter." Fang Jinzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a leisurely tone: "So, you are deceiving us?" "Do you know that if you frame a city lord falsely, you will be put in jail." "No, no, no, I didn't deceive the master."
The man hurriedly explained and said: "The place in the north of the city is indeed a place where filth and evil are hidden, just like the brothel you just saw, in heaven and on earth." "Many girls there are sold from the north of the city." What?" This time it was Fang Jinzhi's turn to be surprised. He couldn't believe that there were still people forcing good girls into prostitution in Tianjing New City? "Does the city lord not care about this kind of thing?"
"Control?" The man sneered, and then lowered his voice and said: "It is said that the biggest boss behind the scenes in Chengbei is the City Lord." "Just from the monthly income of Chengbei, the City Lord can get more than one hundred thousand taels of silver. ." Fang Jinzhi's eyes suddenly widened!
One hundred thousand taels? per month? ? Income of one million taels of silver every year! ! The annual treasury income of the Song Dynasty does not exceed 8 million taels, but here, Yang Peng can get 1 million taels per year? Not only Fang Jinzhi, but also Tian Xing and Wan Chun who were next to him were equally shocked. Is Tianjing New City actually making so much money? So how much has Yang Peng made here over the years?
"Take us to the north of the city immediately!!" Fang Jinzhi gasped, looking very urgent. It makes him uncomfortable to see corrupt officials like Yang Peng getting money, such as Jin Zhi himself losing money. He must see with his own eyes that Yang Peng is really doing some illegal business, so that he can judge whether Yang Peng's money is worth trusting someone like him. The few people were very fast, and they could reach the northern area of the city all the way from the center of the city. However, on the way to the north of the city, Fang Jinzhi obviously found that there were much fewer people here than in other areas, and there were not even a few people in sight.
It seemed that the man in front of him was not lying when he described the area north of the city. This is indeed a place that scares the people of Tianjing New City. Soon, Fang Jinzhi arrived at a city surrounded by fences. The entire city seemed to be surrounded, and the situation inside could not be seen from the outside. Fang Jinzhi noticed that there was a gap like a city gate not far away, so he led the guards towards the gate. As soon as he arrived at the door, Fang Jinzhi was stopped by several soldiers at the door.
"Stop, this important area in the north of the city is forbidden for outsiders to enter!!" A soldier in the lead shouted angrily at Fang Jinzhi and the others. Fang Jinzhi was about to get angry. The entire Tianjing New City area is a prosperous scene, and you can walk around at will. But it happened to be blocked here. There must be something fishy here, maybe it was evidence of Yang Peng's corruption. Thinking of this, Fang Jinzhi planned to force his way in. He wanted to see what Yang Peng was doing? Fang Jinzhi was about to force his way in, but was held back by Tian Xing next to him.
Tian Xing quietly winked at Fang Jinzhi, then smiled at the soldiers guarding the door: "We are businessmen from Bianjing City. We heard that there is business here, so we came here." "Can you guys come here?" How about accommodation?" After saying that, Tian Xing took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and wanted to hand it to the soldier. But when the soldier saw Queen Ma taking out the money, he felt as if he was seeing a snake and said angrily: "What are you doing? Put the money away."
When Fang Jinzhi saw this, the anger on his face suddenly subsided a lot. In any case, the soldiers here can resist the temptation of money, which is not something ordinary people can do. "You said you are businessmen, what proof do you have?" The soldier then asked, wanting to see the directions of Fang Jinzhi and others. Wanchun took out a road guide beside him and handed it to the soldier. After checking it, the soldier nodded and said:
"Sure enough, he is a businessman, you can go in." "But remember, don't make trouble inside, otherwise no matter who you are, I will keep it safe so that you never come back!" He waved his hand and asked the people behind to take it. The road gave way and Fang Jinzhi entered the city smoothly.
As soon as I entered the city, I found that it was surrounded by a high wall, like a separate city wall, isolated from the outside world. Not only that, before I even took a quick step forward, I felt that the sky seemed to be getting dark all of a sudden. However, if you look closely, you will find that there are much fewer lights here than in the outside world, which means there is not enough light here at night. On the streets of this walled city, there are countless shops open on both sides of the streets, but unlike the outside world, the shops here are only three floors high.
There were various store names written on it, which made Fang Jinzhi feel dizzy for a while. The people walking here all look fierce, and their faces are full of ferocity. At first glance, they are not easy to mess with. Each of these people acts alone and rarely moves forward in groups like the outside world. After selecting a target, they will quickly enter the store and will not communicate with each other. This walled city seems to be two different worlds from the outside world. Outside there is a world of fireworks, but here it is an endless purgatory.
"Let's go in and have a look." Fang Jinzhi was not afraid and directly chose the nearest store to go in, wanting to see what kind of business was being done here. And on the signboard of that shop, it clearly says:
Arena! ! Fang Jinzhi was just about to enter the arena when he was stopped by the waiter at the door. "Hello, sir, we have a membership system here. If you don't have a member, you are not allowed to enter." "If you want to enter, you need to show your membership card." "Membership? Membership card?" Fang Jinzhi didn't listen at all. After passing these things, he looked at the waiter with some confusion. When the waiter saw Fang Jinzhi's confused look, he knew that Fang Jinzhi was not a member here at all. So he smiled and said: "Sorry, if you are not a member of our store, you cannot enter."
Although Fang Jinzhi didn't understand, he had been around the world after all and knew what it was like to join a gang. He looked a little impatient and said, "How can I become your... member...?" "We need it now. Come in and have a look." The waiter still replied very politely: "Sorry, sir, our store implements an internal membership system. You can only become a member of our store with the recommendation of two or more people." "Otherwise, you can't I am very sorry to become a member of our store.”
When Fang Jinzhi heard this, he immediately became furious. What kind of shabby shop is this? It's so troublesome to sign up for a membership. There must be nothing good going on here. "We still have to go in and take a look today. Let's see who dares to stop us?" As soon as Fang Jinzhi said this, the waiter who was originally smiling suddenly turned serious and said, "Guest, please don't mess around, this is not a wild place. place."
"Those who dare to cause trouble in this place have not yet made it out of the walled city alive." After saying that, he looked at Fang Jinzhi warily. Fang Jinzhi was aroused by the waiter and immediately felt a little excited, so she took a step forward and planned to go in. However, Tian Xing saw that the waiter didn't look like he was lying, so he quickly stopped Fang Jinzhi, and then said to the waiter: "In that case, let's not go in yet." Fang Jinzhi was helplessly dragged by Tian Xing and Qiuxia. Leaving the so-called arena.
After walking a long way, Fang Jinzhi broke away and said, "Why are you stopping us from going in? Are we still afraid of them?" Tian Xing said with a sad look on his face: "Saint girl, now in Yang Peng's house On the ground, we should not act rashly." "As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not suppress a local snake." "I think Yang Peng is acting out of common sense. Since this is the place he pays attention to, there must be something unusual. "We'd better be careful."
Qiuxia also advised from the side: "Holy girl, Tianxing is right, we must not be careless." "Since this house is not allowed to enter, then let's go to other places to check." Fang Jinzhi heard this, Although I was still angry, I didn't have an attack. I just found another shop and walked forward. But just as I walked forward, the same scene happened in this store.
Fang Jinzhi was stopped by a waiter with a gentle attitude. No matter what, he couldn't go in. Next, the second house, then the third house. None of Fang Jinzhi's wishes were fulfilled. At this time, the man who was brought in by Fang Jinzhi noticed something unusual and reminded him: "Master, let's not go to those high-rise buildings." "Those places look very impressively decorated, let's go to those places with a little bit of decoration." Take a look at the dilapidated houses.”
After being reminded by Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized something was wrong. The places he went to just now were all very conspicuous shops on the streets. None of these shops are lower than three floors, so they are obviously high-end shops. Fang Jinzhi looked along the street and saw some shops consisting of dilapidated bungalows in the middle of the street. Seeing this scene, Fang Jinzhi suddenly became furious:
"Why didn't you say anything just now? Did you mean to see our joke?" Being stared at by Fang Jinzhi, the man's face suddenly fell and he explained: "Master, this is my first time in this place." "Where? I know these rules, but I just said that the black market is prevalent here, and it is known as the devil's cave." Fang Jinzhi ignored him and was going to find another shop in front to try his luck. Soon, Fang Jinzhi came to a two-story shop with the name Colosseum on the shop plaque.
The appearance of this store does not look as luxurious as the previous stores. Fang Jinzhi thought that she would not be stopped again this time, and then walked towards the store. But as soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by the waiter again. Fang Jinzhi was about to get angry, these people were just endless, but the waiter's words made him suddenly stop.
"Sir, the scene here is too bloody. Are you sure you want to bring the women in?" The waiter still had a smile on his face, but he did not ask Fang Jinzhi for another membership. Fang Jinzhi was overjoyed, but before she could say anything, Qiuxia snorted coldly: "Huh, who are you looking down on? What kind of scene have I never seen before?" After hearing this, the waiter's face and smile did not change, and he was still gentle and strong. Said: "Then I will not disturb the objective elegance, please treat me as a guest!!"
Fang Jinzhi took the lead into the so-called Colosseum. This time he wanted to take a closer look at what was hidden inside. As soon as I entered the store, I heard a familiar greeting. "Welcome." A row of beauties were seen standing in the store, with sweet voices welcoming Fang Jinzhi's arrival. Before Fang Jinzhi had time to react, a beautiful woman came forward and asked: "The guests looked a little unfamiliar. Is this the first time they visit our store? Do you want me to explain our services to the guests?"
Fang Jinzhi was in need of a guide to introduce him to the situation here, but he didn't expect that this guide would come to his doorstep. "Well, just tell us." "Guests, please follow me." The guide immediately led Fang Jinzhi and the others to the Beast Fighting Hall.
"Guys, please look, this is the Colosseum." Fang Jinzhi was standing on the second floor. Looking down from a height, he saw a huge open space in the center of the hall on the first floor. Surrounding the open space is a high iron fence, which looks like a large iron cage. Around the open space, there are rows of ladder-like seats, and these seats are already full of people at this moment.
Each of these people's faces were flushed and they looked extremely excited. Each of them was holding a piece of paper tightly in their hands, as if they had grasped something special. "Holy girl, look, there's a lot of blood in that cage!" Wan Chun's sharp eyes saw that there were still blood stains on the open space.
Fang Jinzhi didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes slightly. Instead, the beauty behind her smiled and said: "Young master, you are indeed sharp-eyed. Here are the blood donations left over from the last battle." "Our Colosseum is divided into two floors, and the upper floor is full of blood. From the private room, you can clearly see the scene below."
"Below are the ordinary seats and a place for fighting beasts." "The second battle of beasts tonight will be held next. Do you plan to go to the first floor or stay on the second floor?" "Second floor. Floor." Fang Jinzhi directly chose the second floor. Only here could he clearly see everything happening below. "Okay, you guys come with me, the beast fight is about to begin!!" Fang Jinzhi slowly sat down under the box under the guidance of the guide.
The box seemed quite spacious, and with so many people pouring in at once, there was still room left. After everyone sat down, the guide began to talk again: "What we call the Colosseum here is the fight between humans and beasts." "Since ancient times, only true warriors can capture the most ferocious beasts. ." "Being able to kill a real ferocious beast can often lead to eternal fame." "Nowadays, people are still singing the legend of flying generals shooting tigers."
"Not only that, Su Shi also personally praised Sun Quan's deeds of shooting tigers." "It means that in order to repay the allure of the city, he followed the prefect and shot the tiger himself to see Sun Lang." "But these are things we have heard of. Did they happen? , we don’t know.” “But tonight, we may be able to see the birth of a tiger-crouching hero.” At the end of the sentence, the guide’s voice suddenly became high-pitched, and his face was full of enthusiasm.
Fang Jinzhi felt more and more uncomfortable as he listened. After listening to it, he was stunned. What does the guide mean? A tiger-crouching hero? Could it be that this so-called beast fight is a battle between humans and tigers? ? If so, that person is dead! ! "Are you saying that what's going to happen next is a fight between humans and tigers?" "What you mean by the Colosseum is to put humans and tigers in a cage and let them fight each other for your amusement?"
Fang Jinzhi's voice was a little cold, and there was no emotion in his words. But the guide still smiled like a flower, and said without paying any attention to Fang Jinzhi's tone: "Not only that, in order to better appreciate it, our store also specially starved the tiger for three days." "In this case, as long as this hungry tiger If a tiger enters the iron cage, he will never let go of the people in the iron cage for food." "This fight between dragon and tiger will definitely be very exciting."
"Sir, the show is about to begin." "Do you want to place a bet? One side is a strong beast fighter, and the other side is a tiger that has been hungry for three days. Which side do you want to bet on?" Fang Jinzhi's face became increasingly expressionless. Ugly.
Which side shall we bet on? We're going to put all of you beasts in prison and let you have a taste of what it's like to be in this cage. Just when Fang Jinzhi was angry, he heard a voice coming from behind: "I suppress the tiger." Fang Jinzhi suddenly turned his head. He wanted to see how that bastard dared to be so inhumane? As soon as I turned around, I saw the man who brought them in, holding 5 taels of silver in his hand and talking to the guide with an excited face.
The guide looked at the man and smiled, then took the silver and said softly: "Please wait a moment, sir." Fang Jinzhi looked at the guide holding the silver and turned around to walk towards the plate. The man next to him rubbed his hands excitedly. Fang Jinzhi was silent for a moment. These people didn't care about the life or death of the people in the cage. In their eyes, this was just a performance. It doesn't matter even if the person dies, they can even get more benefits from that person's corpse. Not long after, the guide came back with a note and said:
"Sir, this is the proof of your bet, please keep it safe." The man read the note and showed the same expression as the audience below, excited and expectant.
At this time, Fang Jinzhi suddenly asked: "Has the city lord also bought shares in your Colosseum?" "Of course, the city lord has shares in all the shops in this walled city." The guide answered matter-of-factly. Said: "Without the support of the City Lord, no one dares to open a shop here." "Speaking of which, without the City Lord's nod, no one can open a shop here!" Fang Jinzhi took a deep breath, and this time the truth was revealed. Well, the source of everything points to the city lord, Yang Peng. Just when Fang Jinzhi was about to ask again, the guide next to him exclaimed:
"Look, it's about to start." Fang Jinzhi also began to concentrate at this time and looked down the field. I saw below that the first person to leave the factory was a middle-aged man, wearing short clothes and a thin shirt, shirtless. The bulging arms showed that this middle-aged man was very strong, and the several scars on his face made him look particularly ferocious. He also held a sword in his hand, but his face looked very fierce, looking fierce.
After the guide saw the man, he introduced: "This man is nicknamed Black Whirlwind. He just appeared last month and killed a tiger by himself." "To this day, this man has killed two tigers. If he is here today, Kill one, and he will break the record of the Colosseum and become the new generation of beast king." The guide's expression was particularly excited, and it seemed that he had great respect for the man below.
"Black Tornado!!" "Black Tornado, invincible!!" Not only the guide, but also many of the audience present seemed to be supporters of this Black Tornado, constantly shouting Black Tornado's name in the venue. Fang Jinzhi's eyes also moved slightly. This man was so brave. If he could join the army, he would definitely be a fierce general on the battlefield in the future.
"Roar!!" Just as Fang Jinzhi was thinking, a shocking roar spread throughout the Colosseum. I saw a giant beast in a cage, being slowly pushed into the field by several big men. When the giant beast was pushed to the center of the field, everyone realized that the giant beast must be at least three feet tall.
"Roar, roar!!" The giant beast kept pacing in the cage and roared at everyone present. As the giant beast stretched its body in the cage, its six-foot body made the huge cage seem extremely narrow. Is this still a tiger?
Everyone has been to the Colosseum for so long, but they have never seen such a huge tiger. Standing in front of the tiger, Black Whirlwind's tall body looked frail. This tiger should be the Siberian tiger. As the largest tiger in the world, only the Siberian tiger can have such a majestic body. The Siberian tiger kept angrily beating the cage with its paws, looking at the crowd around it. The audience in the audience felt suffocated after being swept by its green eyes.
If the black whirlwind just now made people feel excited, then this giant tiger made people despair. Even Black Tornado, who had already killed two tigers, felt anxious when he saw this tiger. But thinking of his identity, Black Tornado knew that he had no way out and could only fight to the death.
"Come on, Black Tornado, chop this tiger to death. Whether I can make a fortune depends on you." "Black Tornado, invincible!!"
At this time, the audience in the stands began to gradually recover and cheered for Black Tornado. Many people this time came here for this tiger-killing man, hoping to make a big fortune. Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle. Every time the odds are set in the Colosseum, the odds of beasts eating humans are usually low, but the odds of humans killing beasts are high.
It's the same this time, the odds of beasts eating humans have been tripled. For gamblers, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as Black Tornado wins, they will make a fortune. Almost everyone's bets were placed on Black Whirlwind. Even now that they saw the tiger's ferocity, they still had hope in Black Whirlwind. They don't care about Black Tornado's life or death, but they care about Black Tornado's victory or defeat. "Bang." As the cage opens, the beast fight officially begins!
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
