Chapter 1815: First kill

Downstairs hall.
Three men are sitting.
The first one was too old, in his early thirties, and the other two, in their twenties, were all wearing blue uniforms with a green bamboo tattoo on their chests.
"Several adults, sit down for a while, and I will prepare wine and food for you immediately. When you are full, I will let Xiaohe play you another song."
Wu Liang had a smile on his face, and his attitude was very respectful.
"I haven't seen Xiaohe for a while, and I don't know if he has become pretty recently?" a man said.
"Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time," another said.
"Several adults, sit down for a while, I'll call Xiaohe for you right away." After Wu Liang finished speaking, he turned and wanted to leave.
"Wait!" At this moment, the oldest man among the few people suddenly said.
Wu Liang turned around stiffly, then smiled all over his face, and said respectfully: "My lord, what else do you want?"
"Let me ask you, what day is today?" the man said.
"Today, today, I count..." Wu Liang pretended to pinch his fingers to count.
"You don't need to forget, today is the fifteenth, it should be the day when you hand in your monthly deposit." A young man interjected.
"Oh, I remember now. Today is the day for the monthly payment." Wu Liang said to the man with a bitter face, "My lord, can you take a little less for the monthly payment this time?"
"Seeing that your kid usually treats us well, but this time I can meet less."
Hearing this, Wu Liang was overjoyed.
The man continued: "You will hand in ten spirit stones this month!"
"Ten?" Wu Liang was startled, and said, "When the monthly payment was delivered last month, only one spiritual stone was needed. Why did it increase ten times this month? My lord, didn't you just say you give me less ?"
"Your inn occupies the most prosperous place in the town. According to common sense, at least 20 spirit stones should be handed in. However, depending on your cleverness and good brothers, you will only receive ten spirit stones this month."
"My lord, this inn is a small business, and it is difficult to see a few guests throughout the year. I don't have so many spirit stones to hand in, so you can be accommodating, big deal, I will let Xiaohe stay with you for a few more days." Wu Liang was crying.
Snapped!
The man slapped the table sharply, and shouted: "Wu Liang, you have to bargain with me, quickly hand in the spirit stone, otherwise, be careful that I demolish your shop."
Wu Liang was almost crying, and kept begging for mercy: "My lord, I beg you, you all know what is going on in my inn. I don't have a single guest this month. Where can I get so many spirit stones to hand in? "
Snapped!
The man slapped on the table again, his face even more angry, pointing at Wu Liang and shouting loudly: "Well, Wu Liang, you dare to fool us, do you really think we are all stupid? You said that there is not a single guest, Then I ask you, who is he?"
Wu Liang looked back in the direction of the man's finger, and saw Lu Yi standing at the top of the stairs, looking at this side, and running to Lu Yi immediately, whispering: "Master, what are you doing downstairs?"
"I heard the noise below, so I'll take a look." Lu Yi said.
"My son, don't look at it and go upstairs. These people are not easy to provoke. If they want to blackmail you, you will be in trouble." Wu Liang said anxiously.
"Who are they?" Lu Yi asked in confusion.
"They are the outer disciples of Kuzhuzhai. They collect monthly payments from door to door every month. If they don't give it, they will smash the store and close the door, or kill them."
"Don't anyone care about them?" Lu Yi was surprised.
"Who dares to care! This is the site of Kuzhuzhai for a radius of one million miles, who dares to offend Kuzhuzhai." Wu Liang urged Lu Yi: "My son, you should go upstairs to avoid trouble."
Lu Yi stared at the three people and turned around to go upstairs.
At this time, a young man pointed to Lu Yi and said, "Little white face, I think your face is tight, did you come from outside?"
"This son is not..."
"I'm!"
Before Wu Liang finished speaking, Lu Yi spoke.
Lu Yi calmly said, "I'm from outside, why, there is a problem?"
"Of course there is a problem. Since you are from outside, you should understand our rules here." The young man said in a bad tone.
"What rules?" Lu Yi asked.
"Wu Liang, tell him."
Wu Liang had no choice but to explain to Lu Yi: "My son, you don't know that everyone who comes here from the outside must pay offerings to the adults, otherwise you will be bullied. As long as you pay the offerings, The adults will protect you."
"Isn't this just collecting protection fees?" Lu Yi said.
"Oh, I didn't see it, your little white face has some insight. That's right, it's the protection fee. Give it to us quickly, otherwise, interrupt your leg." The young man arrogantly said.
"I don't have a spirit stone."
"No?" The young man was taken aback for a moment, then murderous intent appeared on his face, and said: "Since you are a poor ghost, living is a waste of food and grass, let Grandpa send you on the road."
Cang!
After speaking, he drew the long sword around his waist and walked over with a murderous face.
"The adults are merciful." Wu Liang hurriedly stood in front of Lu Yi, and said to the young man who came by: "My lord, this young man has just arrived here, and he is not familiar with us here. There really is no spiritual stone on him. Open the net and spare his life."
"If you want to live easily, get the spirit stone."
"My lord, I am willing to pay the monthly payment, and please forgive the name of this son." Wu Liang looked at the older man and said, "If someone knows that I have a dead guest here, I'm afraid there will be no more If the guests stay in the store, I really can't do this business."
The man glanced at Wu Liang and Lu Yi and nodded slightly: "I can promise you not to kill him, but for the monthly payment, you will have to pay ten more spiritual stones, a total of twenty."
"So much? I..."
"If there is one less spirit stone, I will kill him." The man said.
Wu Liang was stupid.
"I said your kid don't be silly, take out the spirit stone quickly, otherwise, not only that kid will die, you will also peel off." Another young man shouted.
thump!
Wu Liang knelt on the ground and said to the three men: "My lord, you all know who I am. Even if I work hard for a year without eating or drinking, I can only earn 20 spiritual stones. You are really killed now. Me, I don’t have so many spirit stones!"
"how much do you have?"
"I have eight spiritual stones, and I am willing to turn them in all. As long as the adults forgive me and this son's life, I am willing to send a hundred taels of gold to the adults." Wu Liang said.
"A hundred taels of gold is not as valuable as a spiritual stone, you think we are really poor!"
"Say it one last time, twenty spirit stones. One less, I'll hide your finger." The man said coldly.
Wu Liang was anxious and afraid, shaking all over.
At this moment, Lu Yi stretched out his hand to help Wu Liang up, and said, "The man has gold under his knees. He was born to kneel only to his biological parents. As for this group of trash, kill him!"
