Immortality: Starting as a Butcher to Level Up in Cultivation!

In the evening

Wei Hong personally cooked a big pot of braised pork rice!

The fragrant meat pieces were spread on the rice, exuding an alluring aroma.

The boys and girls who had practiced martial arts for half a day were exhausted.

They ate their rice bowls voraciously, and everyone's face was filled with deep satisfaction and happiness.

In the past, they were hungry and cold and struggled to survive.

Now they have warm clothes, full food, and can practice martial arts, and the future is full of hope.

What else can everyone be dissatisfied with at this moment?

At night!

Wei Hong withdrew and went home.

Looking back at the lights of thousands of houses, there was a light in Renyi Lane that belonged to him.

This made his heart feel a little bit of belonging.

"Get out of the way, all of you!"

"Ding ding ding! Curfew is advanced, go home immediately!"

Bursts of horse hooves and noise suddenly came from the street.

Wei Hong looked over in the direction of the noise, and saw a line of armored soldiers galloping through the long street, while the patrol battalion beat gongs and drums to tell people to go home.

The pedestrians on the road were so frightened that their faces suddenly changed!

Many vendors also hurriedly began to close their stalls.

Obviously everyone knew why this was happening.

"This storm has been brewing for so long, is it finally going to fall?"

Wei Hong murmured, and turned back to Tianbao Lane.

...

That night

There was unrest everywhere in the capital!

One after another, officials and wealthy families were implicated in the confiscation of their homes.

The noise and the sound of soldiers mobilizing kept many people awake all night.

Wei Hong didn't care much.

After all, it would be strange if the power struggle that had been brewing for so long didn't break out.

He just silently paid attention to the direction of Lin Weisheng's house. Once he found a huge fire, the agreement between the two would take effect.

…

The chaos lasted for several days.

A large number of officials were raided, and large amounts of treasures were directly put into the treasury.

Thousands of men, women, old and young were taken to the prison, until the cells of the various government offices were filled to the brim, and the millions of people in the city of God were in panic.

The city gates that were free to enter and exit in the past were already strictly guarded!

No one dared to walk around at night, and the butchers had to be checked every night when they delivered goods.

The whole city of God seemed like a taut string.

No one knew whether the fire would burn them, so they could only wait quietly for the situation to subside.

Until the fourth night!

The thing that Wei Hong least wanted to see finally happened.

A raging fire suddenly broke out in the silent night, and all kinds of shouts and shouts of fire resounded through the sky, and the neighbors in the nearby streets were awakened by the alarm.

"Alas!"

Wei Hong sighed and changed into a black suit!

The Heart-Broken Knife and the Black Iron Plum Blossom Needle were all carried with him.

He raised his hand and wiped it across his face, and he turned into a middle-aged man with a fierce face.

Then he went out quietly in the night, and disappeared like a monkey after a few jumps, and soon appeared in the attic of a wealthy family.

Jumping high and looking far away!

Wei Hong's luck was completely wiped out.

Because the place where the fire started was Lin Weisheng's house, which was across the street from Renyi Lane.

"Such a small merchant family was not spared? It's really a disregard for human life!" Wei Hong was silent, and he had a clearer understanding of the cruelty of this world in his heart.

He did not rush down to save people immediately!

Instead, he quietly approached again and looked down at the situation.

The main house of Lin Weisheng's family had been burned, and the raging fire almost spread to other houses.

Dozens of people around were so scared that they hurriedly looked for buckets to put out the fire.

On the street!

A team of more than a dozen soldiers guarded seven or eight servants, among whom Lin Weisheng's family of three was not seen, which showed that his plan had been largely successful.

Now Lin Weisheng and his wife must have been buried in the sea of ​​fire!

Their young daughter was probably knocked unconscious and hidden in the underground passage.

The soldiers in charge of the house search obviously had no interest in such a small family. After searching for a while to make sure that no valuables were left out, they were too lazy to put out the fire and directly escorted the servants to evacuate.

The fire burned until the second half of the night before it was put out.

The Lin Mansion had already become a mess, with charred and thick smoke everywhere.

The slightly valuable things were either confiscated during the house search or looted by the fire extinguishers. From pots and pans to door frames and bedding, everything was swept away, just like a thief.

"Do you want to collect the body of Shopkeeper Lin? A big fire almost burned my house. It's so unlucky!"

"What the hell? Such a big fire has turned it into ashes. How can there be a body to collect? Let's go, let's go home and take a shower!"

"Alas! Shopkeeper Lin is such a good person, why did his house get raided?"

The neighbors talked about it for a while, and finally dispersed!

After confirming that there was no one around, Wei Hong jumped into the Lin Mansion.

He looked around and approached the toilet quietly. He endured the stench and searched in the moonlight. He found that there was a hollow sound under the mud on the left side of the toilet.

He dug up the mud and took a look!

There was indeed a tunnel entrance covered by wooden boards below.

Wei Hong carefully lifted the wooden board and rushed in. He saw that the tunnel was pitch black, about three or four feet away, and led directly to a small basement under the main house.

It was pitch dark here!

Wei Hong's eyes adjusted for a long time before he saw in the moonlight a five-year-old girl sleeping soundly in the basement, along with a bag of gold and silver.

The girl was wearing a small red jacket!

Her face is young and charming, and she looks very delicate.

In her sleep, she didn't know that her parents were dead.

He was fast asleep at the moment, and his cute appearance made people feel a little soft in their hearts.

"well!"

Wei Hong sighed, picked up the small bag, hugged the girl and turned around to leave.

Before leaving, he carefully covered the wooden board back at the entrance of the passage, and then sprinkled it with dark soil to cover it up. He believed that no one would notice the place due to the mess of Lin Mansion.

In the dark night!

Wei Hong did not leave Lin Mansion through the main entrance.

Instead, he jumped up and ran up the wall. After a few jumps, he jumped into an unknown alley, preparing to take it home and settle it first.

On weekdays, Grandma Wang and Old Wei Tou take care of the family, so the little girl Lin Yuanyuan can't make any mistakes.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Weisheng and his wife had perished in the flames. Even if they went to the fire scene to search, there would only be a pile of fly ash, so they only had to hide her for two or three years, and no one would recognize her even if she changed her appearance.

But when walking through a small alley!

Wei Hong saw another group of soldiers searching the house.

The leader among them is still an old acquaintance - Meng Kaishan!

"Quick, quick, quick, be damn smart, don't leave a hair for me." Meng Kaishan commanded the soldiers to break down the door and kill people, constantly searching for the treasures of a wealthy family, and screams and wails could be heard from time to time in the mansion. .

It goes without saying!

This is taking the opportunity to collect military expenses.

The accumulation of several generations of rich families who had their homes confiscated would be robbed in an instant. The men would be killed on the spot or beheaded later, while the women would all be sent to the Jiaofang Division. How could it be so tragic?

"In the eyes of the truly powerful, what is the difference between a wealthy businessman and an ant? They are nothing more than a money bag that can be accessed at any time."

Wei Hong sighed, and a crazy thought suddenly arose in his heart.

Since we happened to bump into him tonight, do we want to kill this idiot Meng Kaishan?
