Chapter 93 Citywide Curfew 2
Yin Xi also heard this roughly from the big brother who spoke uprightly during the day, but she didn't know the details. She asked curiously: "What kind of statement is this?"

Brother Liu glanced at Yin Xi, with a mixture of hatred and pity in his eyes: "Girls, you two are new here, but you don't know about the tragic events that caused an uproar in the city back then. Even I learned from the people around me. I heard that I was still young at that time, and I only clearly remember that girl’s body hanging in front of the city gate for three full days, alas, you beast!”

Seeing Yin Xi's still puzzled expression, the shopkeeper cleared his throat and recounted what happened back then with an angry look on his face:
"I was still young at that time, and this inn had just been built, and it was the end of winter. I went out early in the morning, thinking about buying some big red cloth on the street to make flowers and hang them in front of the door to make it festive. As a result, I happened to see a large number of people gathered in front of the door of the previous city lord's mansion.

At that time, I was still wondering why so many people came out in the cold wind in the middle of winter, so I curiously went over to take a look, and that’s what happened. Alas, I will never forget it in my life. It was so miserable. He is really worse than a beast! "

Yin Xi became even more curious and asked, "What exactly happened back then?"

The shopkeeper said: "I saw a naked girl lying in the snow in front of the city lord's palace. The girl was covered in bruises, no good flesh was missing, and the nails on all ten fingers were pried off and freeze-dried. His hands were covered with dark red blood, and even his tongue was cut off and disappeared. The snow under his head was soaked in blood.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the girl died silently on the ice and snow. "

Yin Xi clenched his fists when he heard this and said, "Is this done by the previous city chief?"

The shopkeeper nodded silently in confirmation.

"Beast, what a beast!" Yin Xi was trembling with anger. He really couldn't imagine that a living human life could be wasted like this.

"What happened to this girl's family?" Yin Guizhou asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "I don't know about that. I didn't dare to offend the city lord and those people. Because of fear, I stayed in the store after seeing the girl's body. I hid for several days before I dared to go out. "

Liu Laoda repeatedly pounded the table and said: "I was just a child at that time and was not sensible. I only heard adults say that the woman's body was hung at the city gate for three days. They said it was to warn the people in the city about the consequences of disobeying the city lord."

"If I were that woman's family member, even if I caused trouble to the point of death, I would have to make that bastard pay the price," he said.

"He is indeed dead," Yu Shi, who had been listening silently to the conversations of several people before, suddenly said.

The shopkeeper turned to look at him: "What did you say?"

Yu Shi said calmly: "The woman had no parents, only an unrelated brother. Later, in order to avenge his sister, his brother was beaten to death by the city lord's people and thrown into the barren mountains."

"Oh, what a sin." Hearing this, the shopkeeper sighed, but then he looked at Yu Shi doubtfully and felt that something was wrong. However, due to being drunk, the shopkeeper's brain could not think clearly.

Yin Guizhou happened to ask Yu Shidao: "You look like you are only in your twenties, how come you know more than the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper turned his head and asked: "Yes, how old were you at that time?"

Yu Shi said honestly: "When my father was still alive, he had some friendship with the woman's brother. He often sold freshly hunted hare meat from him to eat. After his death, my father secretly told me about this matter, and I also heard about it. I know something." These words dispelled the shopkeeper's doubts and made him even more angry.

When he heard that the woman's brother was also a hunter, Boss Liu felt even more sad, and he felt even more sorry for the tragic experience of their brother and sister.

"Actually, that ogre shouldn't have been executed. He didn't kill any innocent people. He only killed the previous city lord's family, which was regarded as eliminating harm for the people." One brother said with emotion.

"Even the Shen family is not worthy of the name. They don't get rid of those who should be eliminated, and they have to get rid of those who shouldn't be eliminated. The people here live under their hands, and they really suffer!" The shopkeeper blushed, He vented his dissatisfaction with his tongue.

Yin Xi didn't know what to think. Her previous impression of Shen Jingsi was actually quite good, but she didn't expect that the Shen family's upright family tradition was really indifferent to the suffering of the common people.Tomorrow, she must tell Shen Jingsi about this matter.

A few people chatted for a long time over good wine and good food. The shopkeeper vomited out the bitterness of the bad years he had lived quietly and cautiously under the eyes of the city lord, and it was so refreshing.

Boss Liu was also very good-natured and got along very well with the shopkeeper. The other brothers were so drunk that they lay down on the table early, either snoring loudly or talking nonsense.

The only sober people present were the half-drunk Yin Guizhou, and the extremely sober Yin Xi and Yu Shi who had never drank from the beginning to the end.

Of course, except for the two children, Xiao Liuzi and Xiao Yatou, they and the dogs had long been dissatisfied with the adults talking and making noise, so they ran to the open space in the backyard to play.

Children are still children after all, and there is no hatred. Out of curiosity about the parrot's ability to imitate words, Xiao Liuzi finally ended up playing with the little girl.

Especially the clever little monkey. The more Xiao Liuzi looked at it, the more he liked it. He ran to Boss Liu with it in his arms and asked if he could keep it.

Boss Liu was still conscious and frowned: "You want it without even asking whose monkey it is."

When Yin Xi saw it, she was overjoyed. She was originally worried about where to send the little monkey, but now the opportunity came.

She quickly said: "I picked this up. I was worried about where to put it. It happened that Xiao Liuzi liked it, so I gave it to him to keep."

When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he said happily: "Okay, okay."

Seeing this, Boss Liu had no choice but to agree: "Then you have to take good care of me, do you hear me?"

"Yeah, I heard it." Xiao Liuzi responded.

Just then, the little girl was tired from playing. She rubbed her eyes and returned to Yin Xi. She whispered softly, "I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."

"You're sleepy. Sister, let me take you back to your room to sleep." Yin Xi picked up the little girl and said to her.

When Boss Liu saw this, he glanced at the sky outside. He was so addicted to chatting just now that he forgot about the time. It was already getting late now.

Looking at his drunken brothers and remembering the curfew just now, he temporarily decided to ask for a few rooms here to stay for one night.

After asking for a room with Yu Shi, he asked Xiao Liuzi to carry his brothers several times before placing them properly on the bed.Seeing this, Yin Xi smiled and joked: "Brother Liu, you are just like their old father."

Boss Liu was also drunk at this time, and he had no scruples in speaking. He said with a smile: "My brothers have lost their parents and have no livelihood. They work hard with me every day just to have a mouthful of food. I can't treat them badly." He said. After finishing, he took Xiaoliuzi and went upstairs to rest.

Before leaving, he also reminded: "Girl, it's getting late, you should rest early."

Yin Xi held the little girl and sat there in a daze. She never thought that Boss Liu and his party were all helpless orphans with no blood relationship.

But looking at their interactions, they are as close as ordinary family members.
