Just as the city-wide purchasing activity was in full swing, the City Lord of the Small City arrived. When he saw the situation, he was shocked for a long time. These refugees were really purchasing everything in the city. The amount of money was much more than he had imagined.
The City Lord looked at the dark-skinned man in the middle and thought that this dark-skinned man was Ye Lang. He felt that although this dark-skinned man had a different temperament, he didn't look like a noble. Perhaps this person was a different kind of noble. Otherwise, why would he mix around with the refugees?
The City Lord wanted to go forward and greet them. However, the first thing he needed to do was to separate the crowd. At this time, all the places nearby were filled with people, and most of them were here to watch the commotion.
Thus, the City Lord wanted to use his identity to shout for a path. However, just as he was about to shout, someone else had already done so. However, it wasn't for the City Lord.
"Everyone, move aside and let this leader pass."
Immediately, the originally lively scene became quiet. A path appeared in the middle, and a man and a horse appeared. The people nearby seemed to be afraid of this man and horse.
In this small city, there was only one person who could call himself 'Captain', and that was the Captain of the Knighthood. He was also the person that everyone was afraid to meet. They were as afraid of him as they were on the surface, and they despised him from the bottom of their hearts.
But no matter what, the crowd immediately opened up a path for the leader, allowing him to pass unimpeded.
"Hmph." The leader coldly snorted. With a step, the horse slowly moved forward. This posture was very awe-inspiring. The City Lord at the side also felt jealous. He didn't remember being so awe-inspiring before.
It seemed that the leader of the Knight Corps was much more awe-inspiring than the City Lord.
"Are you the person who instructed a group of lowly commoners to kill my brother-in-law?" The leader pointed at the dark-skinned man and asked coldly. His tone made everyone feel that if the dark-skinned man said yes, he would definitely kill him on the spot.
Of course, this question didn't seem to be considered by everyone because they felt that the leader's words were more attractive. The leader's brother-in-law was killed?
Was he really killed?
That's great. No matter what, I have to go back and celebrate today. That bullshit grain officer has long been an eyesore to him. Relying on the fact that he is that tyrant's brother-in-law, he extorts people everywhere and acts like a tyrant.
Some of the merchants had already decided that if the trade continued, they would take the initiative to lower the price to commend the refugees for their good deeds.
If you kill this commander too, you can have him for free.
Over the years, the merchants had earned more than what these people had taken from them. These people's families must have a lot of property. When the time came, they would definitely fight for a share.
Not to mention the money, they felt that it was worth it to save money in the future.
Since this leader was so bad, why did the City Lord of a small city keep using him? Actually, this couldn't be said to be the City Lord's fault. After all, the City Lord of a small city was usually busy managing the city and didn't have time to care about other things. The Guild Leader had always done a good job in front of the City Lord, so the City Lord didn't know about this.
The people below wanted to tell the City Lord, but they had to go through the Guild Leader. If they tried to go around it, they would die.
This group of knights was this small city's most violent organization. It was almost impossible to get rid of their Guild Leader, so there was no need to consider this problem.
As such, even if the City Lord saw the Guild Leader's true face today, he wouldn't be able to replace him in a short period of time. They would have to think about it at length.
"He deserves to die. He even embezzled the food of us refugees. Who knows how many people have died because of him? He even dared to insult the young master and beat him to death. If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't snatch it, I would have kicked him a few times. However, I spat on his corpse and felt much better." The dark skinny man stared at the Guild Leader.
What? That grain officer actually dared to do that? He deserved to die. Where's his corpse? I'm going to spit on him!
Everyone present had the same thought. They wanted to learn from the dark skinny man. If they missed the opportunity to beat someone up, they would spit on him. No, it would be best if they whipped the corpse with their Guild Leader's saliva. Ugh, wouldn't that be too cruel?
After fantasizing about it, everyone turned their attention back to the matter in front of them. If this dark skinny man dared to go against the Guild Leader, he would definitely be killed by the Guild Leader.
"Do you want to die?" The Guild Leader got off his horse, wanting to grab the dark skinny man and teach him a lesson. However, at that moment, he suddenly stopped and stared at the magnificent scene on the ground.
Piles of gold and silver.
It seemed that before, the Guild Leader had only wanted to denounce the Guild Leader and hadn't noticed this scene. However, when he had stepped forward, the flashing gold and silver had attracted his attention.
Although he had quite a lot of wealth, the gold and silver piled up here was still very attractive to him. He wanted to take all of it for himself.
"Don't think of taking all of this. It belongs to the Young Master." The dark skinny man and the others protected the gold and silver. They could all see the greed in the Guild Leader's eyes. Everyone could see the greed in his eyes.
At that moment, it wasn't just the dark skinny man and the others, even the soldiers who had been watching the scene moved closer. It seemed that they also wanted to protect the gold and silver.
"He killed my brother-in-law. These things are his compensation to my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law had a family. If he died like this, he would need money." The Guild Leader quickly found an excuse to take all of the gold and silver.
Seeing that the Guild Leader was so familiar with this, it seemed that he had done this many times before.
Perhaps at this moment, if that grain officer came back to life, as his brother-in-law, he would kill him again. That was because this was too much money.
"Do you want it, or do his family want it?" The dark skinny man snorted. He was very disdainful towards the Guild Leader. Everyone could see this kind of excuse. It was better for the Guild Leader to say that he wanted to rob it. That way, at least the Guild Leader would respect him.
"I am his family." The Guild Leader looked at the dark skinny man and said with disdain. Why? Am I afraid that you won't give it to me? Since I'm here, I have the final say.
"If I say that we won't give it to you, will you kill us all?" The dark skinny man looked at the Guild Leader coldly. He didn't seem to care about life and death. Perhaps it was because he had experienced this disaster and didn't care about it anymore.
Perhaps it was because he wasn't afraid.
