Chapter 856

"Where is it?" Xiao Wu was delighted.

"By the way, I heard that the Chu family is building about [-] new cities at once?" Yuan Feihu asked interestedly.

"Yes, there are 21 seats. But they are relatively small, and there will not be too many people living there."

"Oh, that's good too. When they finish repairing, I'll pick a few houses too." Yuan Feihu said.

"Then you have to find a time to go. When I come back, the city has been repaired, the immigrants have already moved into their new houses, and the rest of the newly built houses have already been sold."

When Yuan Feihu heard this, he became anxious immediately. "Then I'm leaving first. Let's talk next time."

Xiao Wu waved goodbye speechlessly, why did he leave?
……

A large group of caravans dragged heavily drafted ships on the river that had just entered the wilderness.Yesterday they stayed overnight in the last supply town in the mountainous area, just thinking that they could only live on the boat in the future.

Although living on a boat is nothing to old boat runners like them.But after all, it's just uncomfortable.

Sailing from day to evening.

Ahhh?
The boatman on the lead boat suddenly cried out.

"What's the matter?" The caravan leader hurried out of the cabin.

"Team leader, look, there is actually a city there." The boatmen exclaimed. "When was the city built here?"

"Isn't it the city where the demon clan transformed into an illusion?"

"City, city, what a city."

"It's definitely not the work of the Yaozu. The two banks of the Tianshuihe River have been controlled by the Chu family for a long time. How can there be a Yaozu? If there is a Yaozu, the Chu family has already sent people to exterminate it."

"Then why is there a city here?"

"Oh, the area of ​​this city doesn't seem to be that big."

"That's taller and larger than many cities in our hometown."

"The big leader..."

"Let's go and have a look. If we can really settle down, we can live on the shore."

"Okay." After hearing these words, the boatmen rushed towards the city as if they had taken a reassurance.

Near the city, there are small boats coming to arrange berths.

"Where are you from?"

"We are from Lishan Kingdom. We are going to transport goods to Longshan."

"Then directly at the second area of ​​the cargo terminal, we will take you there." The boat guided many people to board and moor, and then called them to go ashore to rest at a nearby inn. "Ten coppers a night includes a meal. If you want breakfast the next morning, add three more coppers."

"It's so cheap?" a boatman asked in surprise.

"Anyway, I can eat enough, but I can't guarantee that I will eat well. The dishes and rice are all coarse grains and mixed vegetables." The inn boy who greeted them said.

"Then what about the stewards of our caravan?"

"One room for one tael per night, two meals included, and there are monster meat dishes." Anyway, there are some shredded pork. "If it's a single order, it will be calculated separately."

A certain team leader was satisfied with what he heard, and the price was really good.

The inn rooms here are large and spacious, and there is an unlimited amount of hot water provided.Really a good place to stay.

The next morning they had breakfast before leaving.After traveling by water for several days, I finally came across a small town.Another new city.They felt this small town during the day, although it was getting dark at this time, but it wasn't dark yet.So everyone asked the big team leader to go shopping in the city. After all, everyone didn't go shopping in the last new city because they were on their way.

The big team leader let everyone's ducks go helplessly.

A group of ducks... oh no, a group of people scattered the ducks into the city.

On both sides of the main street of the city, there are shops in Dongxifang City.Although the shops are not too big, there are so many shops.There are shops selling all kinds of fur goods, snacks, specialty products, and minerals.One of them specializes in selling raw jade ore.Business is booming.It turns out that this is a stone gambling here. The shopkeeper chooses rough stones of various sizes at random. If there are jade stones in the cut, you will make a profit, and if you don’t have any, you will lose.

So many people came to buy rough stones.

A piece of jade is available to those who get rich suddenly, and they cut a lot of it, and there are not a few stone powders that are all rubbish.Anyway, stone gambling seems to be addictive, and many people are playing it.

Five or six boatmen also sold a few small pieces.

Only a small piece of dark green jade was cut out of a small piece of stone, which is said to be of good quality.

They directly gave thirty spirit coins and took them away.

So the bitter boatman made a fortune in no time.Do not want to envy the companions around him.

The rich boatman immediately took the spirit coins and left.Say nothing.

The other companions wanted to keep blocking, but it happened that the leader of the team saw them passing by and called them away.

It’s not easy to be a boatman to earn some hard money. It’s all spent on gambling stones. If there is anything, it’s just luck. If you don’t get anything, how can you explain to your family when you go home?
In order to prevent them from losing their memory, the big team leader deliberately beat a few people after returning.

As a result, when he left early the next morning, the boatman who took the thirty spirit coins yesterday died for no apparent reason in his room, and the thirty spirit coins also disappeared.

Only thirty spirit coins.

The leader was so angry that he almost pulled out his beard.

He was so angry that he asked people from the Chu family to investigate the murderer. As a result, after they came, the murderer was found within a short time.It was the boatman's own roommate.Just because people didn't lend him spirit coins to let him continue to gamble with stones, the guy who felt resentful strangled his little friend to death.

The person was taken away by the big team leader and dealt with according to the rules.

The team leader thanked the young sergeant who handled the case earnestly.He also deliberately reported the shop that gambled on stones, saying that they did a lot of harm.

The young sergeant turned around and sealed up that shop as well.

"Why did you seal me up? I'm opening a regular store."

"The Chu family has a rule that they will not open shops for gambling on stones." The young sergeant said.

"What? Why don't I know?"

"Hey, look, he just came down." The young sergeant said solemnly.

"This this……"

"Your shop has been seized, you can resell it, or change your business. But you are no longer in the business of gambling stones, and you can also sell jade wares." The young sergeant said.

"Bullying people." The shop owner was still yelling.

"If you call again, you will be locked up, and you will be allowed to call as much as you like in the prison cell."

"Woooo..." The shop owner finally shut up.

When the young sergeant returned to the public house with his people, his entourage asked curiously, "Head, does our family really have a rule against gambling with stones?"

"That guy is a fox, a real monster. He set up a confusion formation in the shop, making people addicted to gambling and unable to extricate themselves. If I don't deal with it, who will I deal with?"

Click, the official document that a certain follower was holding fell directly to the ground, and he screamed, "Fox?"
