C138 Golden Dawn City

"Now, the owner of the gambling den has taken over my wife and made her his slave. If I can't take out the fifty taels of silver, I won't be able to save her. . . If not for that, I wouldn't have made such a mistake. . . "

Zhao Zhi was crying and regretting his actions.

After listening to his story, the old man hugged his granddaughter and let out a long sigh.

After all, he was simple and honest. Even though he had just met someone who would repay kindness with ingratitude, the old man still forgave Zhao Zhi in his heart. After all, he had his own difficulties.

"I didn't expect you to have such an encounter with me. . . . If you had told me earlier, I would at least be able to help you a little. But no matter what, you shouldn't have done this. You shouldn't have hurt my girl. . . "

The old man sighed and said.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I regret it so much. . . Old man, Please forgive me, I was really wrong, I really regret it. . . "

Zhao Zhi kept crying and kept repeating the words of apology.

However, Chu Yun, who was standing at the side, remained calm. He was not affected by his emotions at all.

"You didn't really realize your mistake. You were just using your own experiences to gain sympathy because of the situation. "

Chu Yun shook his head.

Zhao Zhi's body shook. He raised his head and looked at Chu Yun with teary eyes, but he didn't say anything. He just stared at Chu Yun with this kind of expression.

The old man hesitated for a while, as if he also felt that Chu Yun shouldn't use such a cold attitude to face such a pitiful person.

"I believe your story is true. "

Chu Yun looked at Zhao Zhi and said lightly: "But in this story, you are not innocent. You will fall into the quagmire of gambling. It is because of external temptation, but when you lose all your belongings and sign the contract to sell your wife, you are not alone anymore.

At this moment, you are just a devil. For your wife, you are a person even more terrifying than a devil.

When you lose to a pauper, you could have retreated. But you still accepted the gambling curse and bet on something you shouldn't have touched. At that time, a moment of confusion would not only appear at that time, but also at that time. It will always cling to you, because there are some bottom lines that can't be broken. Once broken, there will be countless times after that. "

. . . "No!"

Zhao Zhi was furious. He pulled his neck and roared at Chu Yun, "You don't understand me at all. What right do you have to say that?! At that time, I was just acting on impulse. If I had to choose again, I would never have pressed that hand seal. I already know my mistake. How could I have done it again?!"

"No, you will do it again. "

Chu Yun shook his head coldly.

"Bullshit!"

Zhao Zhi was completely enraged. Even though he knew that he was no match for Chu Yun, he still exploded.

He recalled the life he and his wife had in the past. He recalled the sweet warmth in the silence. He was extremely excited. He pointed at Chu Yun and said loudly, "A man can be killed but not humiliated! I have indeed made a big mistake. But I also regret it now. A man is not a saint, and he can't live without it. Can't you give me a chance to change my past? If you insist, I will definitely show mercy. Then why don't you just kill me!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhi raised his head and exposed his neck to Chu Yun. He looked like he was waiting for his death. Intense emotions burst out from his frail body.

"Young master. . . "

The old man who was watching from the side could not bear to see this happen. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

"No, you will do it again. "

Chu Yun was not moved at all. He repeated his previous judgment with a firm tone. After a pause, he said, "Take what happened just now as an example. What do you plan to do? What do you plan to do without me? "

“. . . ”

Zhao Zhi's emotions paused for a moment. This question was somewhat difficult for him to answer.

Chu Yun said, "Although the old man's savings are not small, in total, he only has around ten taels of silver. The price of the contract you signed to sell your wife is fifty taels of silver. If you want to redeem it, the number will be even higher than this. It might be one hundred taels of silver, or two hundred taels of silver.

However, even if it was only fifty taels of silver, what would you do? What could you do? Where can you get fifty taels of silver? Find a friend to help?

You have already lost all your belongings and your wife. I believe that you have no friends. If someone is willing to help you, you will not end up like this.

Then, you will be left with yourself. If you want to save your wife, how are you going to earn money? If you leave this kind old man, with that knife, who else can you take money from? Then, for you, there is only one way to make money. That's right, right?

That way, you can take the ten taels of silver that you stole from the old man and go to the gambling den to gamble again. . . Am I right?"

“. . . ”

Zhao Zhi's lips twitched and his body trembled. He lowered his head and was unable to say a word for a long time.

His pride, the passion in his heart, the Sage Book in his heart, and those great principles that he would rather die than submit were shattered by the cold reality at this moment.

He recalled that when he saw the ten taels of silver, the first thought that surfaced in his heart was that he had the capital to gamble again.

Ten taels of silver. If he did not play well, he could play on the card table for four hours. If he was lucky enough, he could double his capital in a few rounds. At that time, he could go up to the second floor and play a few big games. If you are lucky. . .

If you are lucky. . .

Suddenly, his entire person fell into a numb state, as if he had recognized something.

Chu Yun looked at him with pity and said, "I believe your story is true. I believe that your regret is true. In fact, After experiencing such a thing, if you don't regret it. . . That would be a real problem, but. . . Just like I said earlier, there are some things. . . Some things that can't be done, some things that can't be done. They can't be crossed.

Let's not talk about winning or losing at the card table. Whether it was luck or not. . . Even if it is, how can you guarantee that you can always win? What would happen if he lost?

Even if you take ten taels of silver today and win back your wife. . . What about in the future? Will you never gamble again?

You won't.

Maybe in the first two days, you will have a firm attitude. But people will always change. Life is long. You will always meet times when you need money, and at this time. . . You will remember that you once held ten taels of silver. You won fifty taels of silver, or even a hundred taels of silver. Two hundred taels of silver, you will think that you can win.

And at that time, what if you lose again? You have already sold your wife once. In your eyes, she was once a commodity. In the future, when you want to gamble, will you let her go? She can be sold for 50 taels of silver. It's enough for you to turn the tables five times. Do you think you can resist that temptation?

I don't believe it. "

After Chu Yun finished speaking, he paused for a long time. He looked at the dazed Zhao Zhi and said, "I know you have a miserable life. But these experiences have made you no longer alone. You can raise the capital to gamble again, and show a knife to a kind old man who has helped you before. There is nothing that can break the bottom line, it is not something you can do in the future. But, no matter what kind of tragedy you encounter, This can't be a reason for you to hurt others. "

After saying that - - -

Zhao Zhi's chest rose and fell violently, his expression becoming more and more agitated, but in the end, he closed his eyes.

. . . "Just kill me. "

Zhao Zhi sat on the ground dejectedly and laughed self-deprecatingly. Tears slowly rolled down from the corners of his eyes. His entire body was like a block of wood as he powerlessly fell onto the cart. He said, "Living like this, I have no reason to continue living like this. "

"Sigh. . . "

When the old man saw this scene, he could not help but let out a long sigh. He covered the little girl's eyes and turned around.

"I won't kill you. "

Chu Yun shook his head and said, "But, I won't let you go just like this. According to the law of Celestial Secret Dynasty, you will be locked up for more than ten years if you try to rob others. When you enter the city later, I will send you to the government. As for your wife and that gambling den, I will solve these problems. "

“. . . ”

Zhao Zhi's face twitched, and his eyes revealed a look of disbelief. He raised his head shakily and looked at Chu Yun. "You, you are willing to save my wife?"

"Yes. "

Chu Yun nodded calmly.

What he needed to do was more than that. The things that the gambling den did were extremely dirty. The friend who had seduced Zhao Zhi into a quagmire was actually a water ghost raised by the gambling den.

They only had one job. That was to lure those who lived on clean land into the dark quagmire and squeeze out every last bit of value.

Since Chu Yun knew about this kind of heartless thing, he would definitely not let it go.

However. . .

Chu Yun himself had never thought that the first thing he had come into contact with after traveling so far from the Demon Suppression House to the Daming Mansion was such darkness and filth.

This caused him to feel a trace of ridicule towards the words' Daming Mansion '.

Qin Wuji said that the world was as dark as a crow.

Now, it seemed that these crows were flying everywhere. There were some in Linghai Giant City, and there were also some in Daming Mansion and Jinxia City.

. . .

Not long after, the old man arrived at the outskirts of a bustling city in a bull carriage.

Along the main road, the cart drove into the city through the north gate.

After entering the city, the old man pulled the three people on the cart and arrived outside the government office of Beicheng. As a simple farmer, this was the first time he had come to the government office. The old man was extremely nervous.

"Relax. "

Chu Yun gently patted the old man's shoulder and said: "You are a kind old man. You should know that at this time, letting this lost young man isolate himself from the world and reflect on himself for a period of time is the best cure for him. This is the right thing to do. "

The old man sighed and nodded. He walked to the entrance of the bailiff and said to one of the bailiffs: "Official, I want to report to the official. . . "

After a long time, around noon, Chu Yun and the old man walked out of the office.

It was a very simple case.

The old man picked up a young man on the way and rescued him. However, the young man returned kindness with ingratitude and threatened to rob him. After that, he got the help of a passerby.

Throughout the entire process, the witnesses and material evidence were present, and the logic was clear. Even the murderer Zhao Zhi himself had personally admitted everything that had happened, so the verdict was very simple.

Zhao Zhi needed to stay in this prison for twelve years.

After hearing the judge's decision, Zhao Zhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He seemed to be freed from his sins. However, before he was taken away by the bailiff, he turned his head and looked at Chu Yun with a burning gaze, who nodded slightly.

When they left the bailiff's door, Chu Yun waved goodbye to the old man. The old man thanked Chu Yun again for saving his life, then took his granddaughter to continue selling vegetables. He did not notice that Chu Yun put another dozen pieces of silver in his bag.

In this dark world, kindness was a very rare quality. Chu Yun felt that people with this kind of quality should be treated better.

Then. . .

Chu Yun exhaled slowly and looked in the direction of the west city.

Zhao Zhi's former home was in the west city. The gambling den called Ruyi Casino was also in the west city.

Chu Yun walked towards the west city while observing the local customs and customs of Jinxia City.

This was a very large city.2

It was bigger and more prosperous than the Linghai Giant City. The two of them were not even on the same level.

The Celestial Secret Dynasty divided the territories according to the prefecture. There were different domains in the prefecture. For example, the Linghai Giant City was only the main city of the Spiritual Sea, but this Jinxia City was different.

There was no Golden Dawn Domain here. The Jinxia City was the prefecture city of the Daming Mansion. It was also the most central region of the Daming Mansion.

Furthermore. . .

There was something unusual about this Jinxia City.

That was, more than six hundred years ago, the Jinxia City was once the capital of the entire Celestial Secret Dynasty, and it was once the imperial city.

Although the royal family moved the capital to another place for some reason, the Jinxia City was different from the other prefectures. It was superior to the other prefectures.

There was only one reason why Chu Yun came to the Jinxia City of the Daming Mansion. That was, there was a relic that was about to be opened here.

Chu Yun had once used an Earth Grade Bait to fish up a map of the relic. On it was a map that indicated the situation inside the relic, as well as all kinds of information. It could be said that with this map, Chu Yun would be able to explore the relic again, and it would be the same as returning to his backyard. He would be able to take whatever he wanted from the relic.

Therefore, the first thing Chu Yun did after he decided to leave the Spiritual Sea was to head towards the Jinxia City of the Daming Mansion. After travelling for more than ten days, he finally arrived at the Jinxia City on the fourth day before the ancient ruins were opened.

In other words, Chu Yun had a total of four days' time to play around in the Jinxia City. The first stop he wanted to go to was. . .

The Ruyi Casino in the West City.
