Ye Xuanxun looked at him and saw a long team moving slowly. Judging from their clothes, they were all poor families.

"Master, it should be the villagers of those three villages who have returned."

Zhao Feng had accompanied Ye Xuan to inspect six villages, and three of them would go south every year to the three irrelevant areas in the east, which belonged to the three cities of the Shang Dynasty.

Calculate the day, it's almost time to come back.

"Yeah!" Ye Xuan responded calmly, just glanced at him, and didn't mean anything to say.

After all, these three villages have a very bad attitude towards Heishui City and always act like they refuse to negotiate.

"Let's go!" Ye Xuan clamped his legs and urged the horse to continue moving forward.

In fact, he had already made a decision about these three villages and must not let them continue to hinder the development of his territory.

Not to mention other aspects, just to successfully upgrade the faith value store, these three villages must be taken down.

Zhao Feng and his personal guards also knew the situation. Their situation was similar to those in these villages before, and they had no good feelings for the original city lord of Heishui City and a group of officials.

But the Lord is different.

You should know that Heishui City has changed drastically and has lived a life that I never dared to think about before. As long as these miserable villagers go to Heishui City to take a look, you will know.

Unfortunately, since the six villages officially broke with Heishui City, there has been basically no communication at all, let alone letting them come to Heishui City.

Suddenly, chaos occurred at the end of the long team, which led to a chain reaction.

The team that was moving forward slowly started, and more and more villagers ran up from behind, obviously something behind was catching up.

Soon, a group of robbers with weapons and ferocious faces appeared, constantly scolding the villagers who wanted to escape. Seeing that it didn't work at all, they picked up the butcher knife without hesitation and chopped several people up.

Such bloody and violent means instantly shocked many villagers. Seeing that there was no hope of escaping, they stopped one after another, and watched the weapons in the robbers tremble.

Except for the distance that they were too far away to catch up, this group of robbers had controlled at least 70% of the villagers and forced them to gather together.

Judging from the number of people alone, the villagers far exceeded this group of robbers, but none of them dared to resist.

After all, in addition to young and strong, the villagers are more elderly, weak, women and children, and the whole family is here.

"My heroes, we are all poor farmers and we don't have much valuable things on them. But as long as the heroes are willing to let us live, we will definitely offer all the things we can take out."

A middle-aged man who seemed to be quite prestigious among the villagers stood up, obviously trying to negotiate with the gang of robbers.

"thing?"

After hearing this, the gang of robbers looked at each other and laughed the next second. One of the scarred faces, who looked like a leader, suddenly stepped forward and kicked the middle-aged man to the ground.

"Idiot, now even you are ours, so naturally what you have is ours. Do you know how many hundred slaves are worth?"

When the villagers heard the word "slave", their faces changed at first, but then they relaxed.

This means that this group of robbers will not kill them easily. As long as they can survive, it will be nothing even if they are slaves. Now this hard life is probably no different from that of slaves.

"Boss, this time I'm making a fortune, it's no less than two hundred gold coins just by counting the head. If there are craftsmen among them, the price will be calculated separately!"

"Of course, these villagers go this path every year. The reason why I didn't do anything before was because they were all paupers and had little money. Even if they were sold as slaves, they couldn't make much money. The risk was quite high!"

The scar-faced robber's eyes glowed, and his eyes glanced at the poor villagers, as if he saw bright gold coins, and said with a smile on his face.

"It's different now. Someone is willing to pay a lot of money to buy slaves. How could I let you go? Now, I just crossed the boundary and started to take action. Unfortunately, I was still a little slower and ran away dozens of gold coins."

"Boss, there is nothing we can do about this. If you do it there, you will definitely get into trouble. Now there are at least 200 gold coins, which is definitely enough for the brothers to be comfortable for a while. But Boss, is this really okay?"

"What's the problem?" Scarface licked his lips and asked disapprovingly.

"They were originally villagers here. Is it really okay if we sell them to Hei Shui City?"

"What's the point? Their breakup with Hei Shui City has not been a day or two, and it has no relationship. Besides, we can find an intermediary. By the way, the caravan in Hei Shui City happens to be there."

"Boss is wise!"

"Stop slapping horses, brothers, hurry up and get moving. It's not too long to eat and drink spicy food."

Scarface's shouting was immediately responded by other robbers, but it made the villagers stunned.

They want to sell us to Hei Shui City?

What's the situation?

When will Hei Shui City have such a big deal?

"Okay...hero!" The middle-aged man who was kicked to the ground before hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't suppress his surprise. Under the eyes of other villagers, he stood up and said.

"You really want to sell us to Hei Shui City?"

"You shouldn't have your ears deaf. Haven't you heard what I just said?" Scarface raised the big knife in his hand, and swept the tip of the knife one by one at the front of him.

"If you want to blame, you will blame the price given by Heishui City far higher than the price in the slave market, and there is no limit on the elderly, weak, women and children. Now, not only do I want to make this money, but there are also many people around me who are ready to move."

"Hei Shui City is very fat now. Who doesn't want to get a share of the pie? Otherwise, I wouldn't have attacked you so quickly. How much money can a bunch of poor people be worth?"

The information in Scarface's words is quite large, but one thing is certain that Hei Shui City is no longer the Hei Shui City of the past, and it really has certain strength.

Unfortunately, Heishui City showed kindness several times, but no one was willing to take a look, and even refused the minimum negotiations indifferently.

If...we were willing to negotiate at the beginning, would it be another result today?

However, there is no medicine for regret in any world. The villagers can only swallow the bitter fruit silently with a look of sorrow and annoyance.

Get it...

Suddenly, a sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground came into the ears of everyone present, attracting everyone's attention in an instant, and a team of cavalry were approaching from a distance.

The robbers were nervous at first, and then they saw that the other party had only more than ten riders. They immediately relaxed and looked at each other, as if they saw a new prey.

The team of people got closer and closer, and when the villagers saw clearly the leader, they couldn't help but look stunned.

Although it has been a long time, the slightly tender face still has a little impression.

Plop!
Chapter completed!
