Chapter 58

Ling Qing thought about it, there was something else that he hadn't noticed.

At this moment, Xin Mo continued, "They have taken all the girls and children away."

That's right, not to mention that young men are rare, Ling Qing has never even seen a young woman.

Except for old and decrepit women, there is not a single one who is a little taller and more beautiful.

Now that the words have come to this point, there is still something Ling Qing doesn't understand.

The father's debt is repaid by the son, and if there is a daughter, the daughter will repay it.

It is absolutely impossible to take one life to offset the huge loss in the eyes of the powerful.

In this world, human life is like ants.

"But we all know where they were locked up?" Ling Qing asked.

Xin Mo shook his head: "We have found nothing in the past few years. In addition, it is inconvenient for us to go out, let alone find anything."

"Is it inconvenient to go out?"

"Yes. As soon as you step out of the street, you will be beaten for no reason."

"Who are the people who beat people?"

"New city dwellers." Xin Mo gritted his teeth.

Ling Qing was puzzled: "There are already many city dwellers in Ducheng, how can you be sure that they are all new city dwellers?"

"The people who beat us were all the Xincheng residents who occupied our house. We naturally remember who they are."

"There are so many guards patrolling the city, don't you care?"

"They beat us sometimes too."

Ling Qing frowned, she only remembered now.

When she returned to the city that day, there was no doubt that the actions of the city guards were instigated by someone.

It's just that Uncle Gu never came to the Ling's house, and he didn't send anyone a message, so the matter just sank down like this.

Brother Gu and sister-in-law Gu didn't even come to the flower viewing banquet.

Yu Zixie, who is close to Brother Gu, came here. Ling Qing just pretended not to see it. Who knows what he looks like in his heart now.

My father only gave a general overview of the current situation of the chamber of commerce.For a year, he was completely separated from the chamber of commerce.

He didn't know exactly what form the team would take.

"Since when did the defenders become like this?"

Xin Mo looked back for a while: "It was also after the slums came into being. The new city residents bought off a lot of city guards, so usually, the city guards would turn a blind eye."

"If they are in a bad mood, they will come and bully us with the new city residents."

Xinghe couldn't help interjecting: "They don't care about time and place, they will fight as soon as they see us, and they will stop if they don't see blood."

Ling Qing knew why the old scars on Xinghe's body were so deep and big, but they were torn apart when they were about to heal.

"Is their backer money coming to the gambling house?"

Ling Qing didn't believe it, without the backing of people from the Chamber of Commerce, it was impossible for them to move into Ducheng so quickly, bullying the aborigines so unscrupulously.

"It should be." Xin Mo said, "They moved in the second day after we were evicted."

It is not normal for the original city residents to be expelled and new city residents to move in immediately.

Selling a house also pays attention to the right time, place and people, as well as luck.

There are two exceptions that I can think of at the moment.

One, the buyer has already taken a fancy to it and is just waiting for the original owner to be kicked out;

Second, buyers and sellers are themselves.

And those who can become the new city residents of Ducheng, it is impossible to come in without two points of strength.

Now, the managers of Ducheng will not agree to let a person who has no influence on Ducheng and the mall become a new city citizen.

If it doesn't affect the city, it will naturally not increase the benefits they want.

Ling Chengtian doesn't care about who has strength or not, anyway, he won't give any money.

Now, he is out of control.

The two brothers of the Qian family are the most powerful in the chamber of commerce.They are the ones with the most interests.

One person earns the least in the chamber of commerce, but has the most connections; the other person earns the most in the chamber of commerce, but his scheming is the most unpredictable.

The misfortune of the original city residents all came from the oppression of Qian Lai Gambling Shop.The increase of new urban residents is obviously related to them
I just don't know if it's direct or indirect.

I don't know which country these spies came from.

Northern Liang Country.

This is what Ling Qing hopes, because only in this way can she get closer to Beiliang.

That way revenge is just around the corner.

"How many families are there in the slum?" Ling Qing asked.

"At first I knew it, but now it's messed up." Xin Mo said with a sad face: "Some are only children, and some are only women or men."

"Some reorganized their families, some went out for a long time and didn't come back, and some were directly beaten to death."

Speaking of this, Xinghe already burst into tears.

Qi Min took out a washed, whitish handkerchief and gently wiped it for him.

Ling Qing still wants to ask, have you never thought about leaving Ducheng and going to other places to seek a living?

But think about it seriously.

If a rich and powerful person walks out of Ducheng, they will take a high look.

If a man in rags said he came from Ducheng, no one would believe it.

The people outside want to drill their heads in the lonely city.The main reason is that they think that Ducheng is a golden city that can make people's dreams come true.

Moreover, no one will leave.

If Mr. Xin had such a difficult life, he never chose to leave, but it was because this was their hometown.

A thought suddenly flashed in Ling Qing's mind.

"Where did you live before?" She remembered what Martin had said.

Now Nanjiaoxiang is being forced to pay protection fees, and the slums have been being bullied by the new urban residents who occupy their original houses.

Is it possible for these two people to be together!

The east of the city is the concentrated area where the city lords, elders and big merchants live.

Chengbei is the area where mall tenants live.

The south of the city is the residential area of ​​ordinary urban residents.

Part of the west of the city is wasteland, and part is used as an ash pit, that is, a garbage dump.

The slums are just walking in the ash pit, leaning against the city wall.

It's fine on sunny days, but when it rains, the slums are low-lying, and the water that falls around the ash pit will flow here.

The city dwellers live in tents, which are made up of many pieces of rags, and will be destroyed when it rains.

This simple thatched cottage has become the only harbor.

It is conceivable how difficult it is for them to live here.

"Most of us live in Nankou Lane in the south of the city, and Nanli Lane here."

"Where is the one in Nanjiao Lane?" Ling Qing asked.

"Xinghe lived in Nanjiao Lane, but that was a long time ago." Xin Mo said, "I know her mother, but her mother left early, and she just learned to walk when she was handed over to me."

Xinghe blinked, looked at Xin Mo, and then grinned.

There is respect and love in his eyes and smile.

Ling Qing looked at Xinghe, but she hadn't seriously asked about Xinghe's background.

Standing behind him, Wutong pulled the corner of Lingqing's clothes.The two looked at each other, and the former smiled and blinked.

Indus know.

"What's wrong?" Xin Mo asked again.

"Do you know Martin? He lives in Nanjiao Lane. There is also a group of people who bully the original urban residents there. I don't know if he is with the new urban residents."

"They're with the New Towners, Martin told me. Martin used to bring food to our slums."

"If not, the things in the ash pit would not be enough for us to fill our stomachs. Because of this, he was the worst bullied by those people."
