As soon as September passed, the temperatures in various parts of the Jingjiu Dynasty began to gradually drop. The north began to rapidly move towards cold winter, while the south began to eliminate the scorching heat and ushered in a cool breeze.
But coolness is a rare luxury for people in the city. Even if it rains here, it will not be too cool. Instead, it will be hot and stuffy, making you feel suffocated when breathing.
Most ordinary people from the north can't stand the climate here in Wusi City. They either get seriously ill and die soon, or they endure the torture and illness for more than half a year and then gradually adapt to it. Of course, most people from the north don’t stay long.
Tan Bin also found it extremely difficult when he first came to the City of Wasted Death. The climate made it almost impossible for a tough guy like him to survive, not to mention the spicy and heavy food here. If it weren't for his special status and responsibilities, Tan Bin would have run away long ago.
Now, after so many years, I have long been accustomed to the food here, and I even find it fun to eat. But he still doesn't like the climate here. At most, he doesn't think it's tormenting like he used to, and he can't bear it.
"Touhou! Today's goods are all unloaded, and the inventory in the warehouse is all right. The brothers are clamoring to go have a drink, how about going with Touou?"
"No, you go, remember to watch Niu San and the others and tell them not to drink and cause trouble again. I won't redeem people this time!"
"Hehe, don't worry, they pissed their pants last time, and they will never dare to get drunk and go crazy again in this life."
"Well, let's go."
Tan Bin smiled and greeted the captains of his several carriage and horse shops, and then went to the canteen of the carriage and horse shop to have a meal as usual, and then drank a bottle of wine and returned to his residence. He has been like this for so many years, and everyone in the carriage shop knows about the rare times when he follows those men to live and drink.
But what the people at the carriage shop didn't know was that Tan Bin didn't go out for fun and debauchery because he really didn't have the energy to waste in those places. After he returned, he had other matters to deal with, and it was very troublesome.
After returning to his separate residence, Tan Bin set up a small covering array, and then began to unravel the thousands of miles of notes collected today one by one as usual, and then sorted them out again and continued to pass them on.
Tan Bin does not hate the busy life now, on the contrary, he enjoys it. Compared to the period more than two years ago when Tan Bin was feeling uneasy, now that he has something to do, it proves that he still has value and can continue to bring blessings to his family.
Nowadays, Tan Bin has received many awards for his achievements in holding on to the City of Fusi. These awards will fall into the hands of his family in many ways. Some are cash, some are honors, and some are blessings for his descendants. These were all personally endorsed by Mr. Shen, and Tan Bin did not need to question them at all.
The city of Fusi is far away from the imperial dynasty, but its location and significance are extremely special. It mainly focuses on cultivating the world rather than the secular world. Tan Bin understood this very early. And his main task in Wusi City is to help Jing Jiu keep an eye on the movements of the monks and sects in Wusi City and extract useful information from them.
More than two years ago, evil monks were rampant in the country, which caused considerable harm. According to Heishui's judgment, many sects in the city of Fusi may have been indirectly or directly involved in the harassment of evil monks, and even Some sects may be disguised as evil monks. However, these official powers of the Jingji Dynasty were not suitable for investigation, and they could only rely on spies like Tan Bin to explore in secret.
In addition, matters related to the underground palace of Wusi City have also been the focus of Tan Bin and his spies in the past year. Because this is something Master Shen personally assigned.
Just over half a year ago, the city of Fusi had already begun to get excited about the underground palace, and the closer it got to the opening date, the more lively it became.
First of all, the attack between the small sects in the city was in vain. Without destroying the stability of the city of Fushou, the three leaders below turned a blind eye to the attack and killing, as long as they paid enough fines afterwards. Generally speaking, the penalty for such "killing" by the three leaders is 75% of the losing party's inheritance.
It seems like a lot of fines, but in fact it is just to curb the possibility of some small forces trying to grow rapidly through mergers. Because you gain very little from the merger, you may not even make up for the part you lost during the killing process. Even if you win, you will need to cultivate for a long time, and even in the process, other forces will seize the opportunity to directly destroy you.
If this goes on and on, the only real winners will be the three leaders, and 99% of the sects below will disappear in this kind of merger with no hope of life.
Therefore, although there was chaos in the city, there were not many large-scale attacks between forces in the past.
But this time is different. For more than half a year, people from small sects can be seen disappearing without a trace almost every day in Wusi City. Every day, the lathes collecting corpses can be seen being so busy that they don’t even have time to eat.
Are all the small and medium-sized forces in the city going crazy? Knowing that annexation would be unprofitable, what would be the purpose of such random attacks and killings if there was no deep hatred?
For the Death City Order!
Death City Orders are issued at the beginning of the year, which means that at the beginning of the year it is decided which forces and how many people can go to the underground palace.
As the city's own territory, the three leaders still took great care of the forces in the city when issuing orders for the city. Regardless of their size, they were basically affected by both rain and dew. Of course, the three leaders themselves got the most.
In other words, these Death City Orders could be bought and sold in the past. After some small forces get the Death City Order and are not prepared to enter it, they will sell it at a price. Prices are generally fixed and do not fluctuate much.
But this year is different.
The price of Death City Orders has been rising steadily. In just one month, it has tripled or quadrupled compared to previous years, and it is still rising. This leads to killings.
The strong ones kill the weak ones and seize the Death City Order. However, the Death City Order does not need to be included in the inheritance and given to the three leaders as a penalty. That's a lot of money.
Or you can take the Death City Token into the underground palace, or sell it.
The fundamental reason for the soaring value of the Death City Token is Master Shen. Because of Master Shen's adventures and unnatural gains in the underground palace, countless monks became more crazy about the underground palace than before.
Tan Bin didn't care whether the small sect lived or died, what he cared about was the ownership of the Death City Order. For example, who is selling the Death City Tokens on the market and to whom, how many Death City Tokens are currently in someone’s hands, etc. Although we may not be able to grasp them all, we can grasp as many as we can, as well as the identities of those who have obtained the Death City Order.
These are all information that can be passed back, although Tan Bin doesn't know what the information is used for.
