Zhao Wujiang and Lin Yu entered Dabaicheng.
Dabaicheng was deserted, not as prosperous as what was seen in Tianwu City in Wutong Prefecture.
After all, Tianwu City is the capital of Wutong State, and it is also a city where practitioners gather.
Although there are monks in Dabaic City today, most of it is actually a secular city.
There are not a few monks like Zhao Wujiang who are tired of the world.
It's just that most of these monks came to Dabaic City to borrow the teleportation spirit array, or used Dabaic City as a short resting place.
Snow accumulated in the city, and almost all the attic houses were covered with snow. There was not much snow on the streets. I think the snow on the streets had been cleared away.
Zhao Wujiang walked through the deserted streets, his frown deepening.
Lin Yu also had thick eyebrows flying sideways, as if angry.
Both of them smelled the smell of blood.
The master and servant looked at each other and followed the smell of blood and rushed away.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the gate of the city lord's mansion.
At this time, many people had gathered in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, including monks with good cultivation and ordinary people with no cultivation at all.
Among the people gathered around, there was an old man wearing thin coarse linen clothes lying in a pool of blood, and a child was lying on the old man, crying for grandpa.
Standing in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion was a middle-aged man with a lean face and a large mole on the right side of his chin.
The middle-aged man kept twirling a mole hair on the large mole on the right side of his chin with one hand, looking a little impatient.
Zhao Wujiang and Lin Yu quietly squeezed into the crowd, frowning deeply.
The pool of blood under the old man's body was still steaming, exuding a strong smell of blood. It was obvious that he had just fallen down not long ago.
On a cold and chilling winter day, this bloody smell was simply scarlet jumping under the plain white, so both he and Lin Yu could smell it even though they were far apart.
"Manager Lin, this person is just asking for some spiritual stones. If he doesn't give them, forget it. There's no need to kill him, right?" Some people in the crowd lightly covered their mouths and noses.
"Why do I seem to hear that the last thing the old man said was not asking for spiritual stones, but asking for help? It seemed like...save the people in their village..." Someone asked.
"When we arrived, the old man had already collapsed. What happened?"
"That's right, how could a mortal be treated so cruelly?"
"..."
There were not only a few people who came following the smell of blood, but almost all of them raised questions.
"Hmph." Manager Lin in front of the gate snorted coldly:
“He did come to ask for help and the spiritual stone.
It was also my hand that did it. "
Everyone was a little surprised by Manager Lin's unabashed words.
Manager Lin slowly approached the old man lying in a pool of blood and the crying child, and said coldly:
"This time Yaoxue, the imperial court issued an order to provide all-out disaster relief. Warming objects and spiritual stones were personally supervised and distributed by the county guards.
According to the registered household registration, every household has no less.
In a few days, when the imperial court has reached an agreement with those sects, these people will go to those sects and receive their protection until the snowstorm passes.
The spirit stones distributed were enough for them to survive these days.
But this unruly man had no restraint and used up all the spiritual stones used for heating.
Despite his age, he is actually an old gambler. Not only did he use up all the spiritual stones in his family, but he also defrauded other villagers of their spiritual stones.
In the end, I lost everything and was desperate, so I wanted to come to the city lord's mansion to ask for the spiritual stone.
Are there spiritual stones in the city lord's mansion?
have.
Although a lot of spiritual stones were saved by cutting down on clothing and diet, almost all of them were used for disaster relief, but there was still some leftover.
However, let alone the fact that the City Lord's Mansion doesn't have much leftover now, even in the past, we would not have rescued this kind of gambler.
I had told him before that he was a cunning man, holding a child in his arms and trying to use the child to coerce me, which I couldn't bear.
I immediately took action to kill him! "
Only then did the onlookers suddenly realize that this was the case.
The old man gambled away all the spiritual stones for relief and came here to cause trouble, but was killed by Steward Lin.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
The child lying on the old man raised his face red from crying and sobbed:
"You're talking nonsense! My grandfather is not this kind of person!
We didn't see any spiritual stones at all. "
