;
;???The transportation airship from Yunfeng City in the west of Yingzhou to Fuhai City landed at an airship take-off and landing base in the west of Fuhai City at dawn on May 16th after nearly a week of flight. ???;
;
;
;???Yunfeng City is already in the inland of Yingzhou, while Fuhai City is on the coast. The goods and products in the two places are very different, so the people who travel between Yunfeng City and Fuhai City by airship are Many are merchants running small businesses. ???;
;
;
;???Large business groups and trading companies have their own airships, so naturally there is no need to take this kind of public transportation airship. ???;
;
;
;???And this public transportation airship is not cheap. It takes 6 days and 6 nights to fly from Yunfeng City to Fuhai City, plus supplies on the way. An ordinary soft sleeper ticket on the airship costs 2 gold coins. Another 20 silver coins. ???;
;
;
;???When the airship was about to land, a slightly fat flight attendant on the airship had already walked into the soft sleeper cabin of the airship with a metal speaker and shouted loudly, "The airship has arrived at Fuhai City. , please prepare to get off the airship, please pay attention to bring your own gifts. Passengers who have handled the consignment business will take their own consignment documents to the cargo exit hatch to collect the goods themselves after disembarking from the airship!"???;
;
;
;???After the flight attendant said it twice, the passengers in the soft sleeper cabin began to get up and move one by one. ???;
;
;
;???After informing the soft sleeper cabin once, the flight attendant went to other cabins to inform. ???;
;
;
;???There are more than 30 people sleeping in this soft sleeper cabin. The high and low single beds on the upper and lower floors are lined up. The space is very small and crowded. Of course, there are more than 30 old men sleeping there who haven’t showered in a week. The air in the room was naturally not that good. In the soft sleeper cabin, feet stinky and sweat stinks. There is also the smell of men's tobacco that fills it. After the airship lands, I'm afraid it will take half an hour to open the windows and blow in the wind to make the smell disappear. ???;
;
;
;???"The airship route from Yunfeng City to Fuhai City is getting more and more difficult. When I came here two months ago, I remember there was a breakfast. I didn't expect that this time the airship would be resupplied and flying in the air. I speeded up a little when I arrived and arrived at Fuhai City before eight o'clock in the morning, even saving everyone's breakfast!" A small vendor in his forties got up. While packing his things, he shook his head, "People's hearts are not as old as they used to be..."???;
;
;
;???"I heard that in order to cope with the jihad, not only the airships, but also the railway network in Taixia Prefecture must be fully speeded up, and new steam locomotives are ready to be put into use. I heard that the new steam locomotives can run at speeds on the railways. to 180 kilometers per hour. It is nearly one-third faster than the current railway locomotive. If you come to Fuhai City again in the future, maybe you can try taking the train, which is not slower than the airship!" On the other side, a high-ranking officer was climbing down. The passenger of the bed spoke up. ???;
;
;
;???"Wow, this is a big business. To complete such an upgrade and transformation of the entire Taixia railway network, billions of gold coins will have to be spent!" Someone exclaimed, "I didn't know this. Which family in Taixia produced the new steam locomotive!"???;
;
;
;???"Such a big business. How can one family and one business group take it all? This kind of thing can only be done by the Taipu Mansion and Gewuyuan in Xuanyuan Hill to come up with the technology and standards. Then. The powerful families and business groups in each state will bid for the prize, and each will get a piece of the cake. The powerful will eat a few more pieces, and the less powerful will eat a few pieces less. Everyone will do business and everyone will make money." An experienced voice said. Opened his mouth. Then he said hello again, "I heard that in the past few days, there have been a few large ships packing goods from the Yue Subcontinent in Fuhai Port. There are also many border residents. Who wants to go and see with me!"???;
;
;
;???"Go together, go together!" Someone shouted immediately. ???;
;
;
;???After staying together in a soft sleeper cabin for six days, even people who were not familiar with each other have become familiar with each other at this time. If everyone communicates with each other, maybe we can find a lot of business opportunities. ???;
;
;
;???There are many vendors in the soft cabin, but not all of them are vendors. When the people in the cabin were bustling and preparing to get off the airship, a person who had been sleeping in an inconspicuous corner of the cabin also stretched out his hand. He stood up lazily, straightened his clothes, and followed the others off the airship. ???;
;
;
;???Seeing this man approaching, several vendors crowded in the narrow aisle of the cabin quickly moved out of the way. ???;
;
;
;???That was a stalwart man with a height of seven feet. As soon as this big man stood up, the entire soft-berth cabin suddenly seemed to be dwarfed. Ordinary people would be at least two heads shorter in front of this big man. ???;
;
;
;???This big man has a fierce bald head, a messy beard, and strong bones. Although he only wears a coarse cloth, under the coarse cloth, you can see a body made of steel. Strong muscles, not to mention anything else, but the thickness of his upper arms. At first glance, they are not much thinner than the thighs of ordinary businessmen. A pair of big futon-like hands can completely cover a person's head. A person can stand on his fists, and a horse can run on his arms. This sentence is really not an exaggeration when it comes to this big man. ???;
;
;
;???The big man has a majestic and ferocious face, a bald head filled with murderous intent, and under a pair of thick eyebrows that look like swords, his slender eyes faintly reveal a trembling red light. He is a timid man. , I am afraid that if you stand in front of this big man, you will be so scared that you will pee your pants. ???;
;
;
;???After staying in the soft sleeper cabin for six days, this big man only had to eat and poop and fell asleep. Because the big man's face had a sinister aura, no one in the soft sleeper cabin dared to interact with him. We communicate more, so until now, no one knows the name of this majestic man. ???;
;
;
;???When the big man was about to step off the airship, a voice suddenly sounded behind him. ???;
;
;
;???“The strong man in front, please stay!”???;
;
;
;???"What?" The big man stopped and turned around. The airship captain who stopped him immediately felt a pressure rushing towards him, and couldn't help but have a bunch of eager smiles on his face. ???;
;
;
;???"This is Liu Chuan, the captain of this airship. Do you know the name of this brave man?"???;
;
;
;???"My surname is Cui. Speak quickly. If you have something to say, don't waste my time!" The big man's voice sounded from his chest, sonorous and low, like thunder. When he spoke, his hands After flapping twice impatiently, the captain standing in front of him felt a strong wind hitting his face, and the smile on his face became even more friendly. ???;
;
;
;???"That's it. I think you are as majestic as a mountain, Zhuangshi. You must also have extraordinary abilities. The armed guards of our business group are recruiting heroes from all over the world recently. We need brave men like Cui Zhuangshi the most. I don't know. Cui Zhuangshi..."???;
;
;
;???Captain Liu originally wanted to recruit people for the armed guards of his merchant group. Apart from anything else, he just looked at Cui's majestic figure and size. He was as big as a giant spirit god, even if he was not too big. His ability and combat power level are not high, but if he just stops there, an ordinary Xiaoxiao will be intimidated. He is more than enough to be a bodyguard for a business group. ???;
;
;
;???The big man surnamed Cui blinked and pointed at his nose, "The armed guards of your business group want to recruit me?"???;
;
;
;???"Exactly, the guard members of our Fengyun Merchant Group are well paid, at least 30 gold coins per year, and after joining, they may also be taught combat skills by famous experts hired by the business group, and they will gain a lot of skills!"? ??;
;
;
;???The big man surnamed Cui laughed loudly, his laughter was like thunder, which directly shook the ears of Captain Liu in front of him. ???;
;
;
;???The big man slapped Captain Liu on the shoulder, almost making Captain Liu sit on the ground, "Hahaha... I accept the kindness, but you can't afford me!"???;
;
;
;???Half of Captain Liu's body was numb, but he still smiled, "30 gold coins is the minimum salary. If Cui Zhuangshi has the ability, then of course a rising tide will lift all boats!"???;
;
;
;???"I want to be granted the title of Marquis, can your Fengyun Merchant Group give it to me?"???;
;
;
;???The smile on Captain Liu's face froze, "Cui Zhuangshi is joking, this is what the imperial court can give!"???;
;
;
"Then it's over..." Amidst the laughter, the big man surnamed Cui shook his head, turned around and left, got off the airship and entered the underground passage leaving the airship base... ???;
;
;
;??? Could it be that I have misjudged the truth? This person named Cui is still a strange person who plays in the world... ???;
;
;
;???Looking at the tall figure leaving the airship, Captain Liu was stunned, and such a thought came to his mind... ???;
;
;
;???… ???;
;
;
;???An hour later, the big man named Cui appeared on a street in Fuhai City with wealthy families on both sides. ???;
;
;
;???The door of Fan Jizheng's house is closed and locked. There is no one in the house anymore. But outside the door, there are two white lanterns hanging with two big words "Dian" written on them. On the edge of the flower bed and ditch outside this mansion, there are still a few pieces of yellow and white paper money that have not been cleaned up. On the doors of several high-profile households adjacent to and opposite Fan's mansion, there are also a few quietly hanging Something to ward off evil... ???;
;
;
;???The first seven days have passed. After the Fan family came here to perform some rituals to pay homage, they took Fan Jizheng back to their family after recovering from his injuries. The Jizheng Mansion in Fuhai City, which used to be bustling, was completely transformed. It was empty. ???;
;
;
;???When passing by Fan Jizheng's house, the man surnamed Cui took a look at Jizheng's house, and then continued walking forward without looking away. ???;
;
;
;??? On the way, he met two police officers patrolling the streets. The man surnamed Cui walked up to him directly and said, "Two of you, where is the Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City?"???;
;
;
;???The criminal who was patrolling the street turned around and felt as if a tower suddenly appeared in front of him. ???;
;
;
;???If you can ask the prisoner about the location of Zhengdao Building, the person who wants to go to Zhengdao Building cannot be a bad person. ???;
;
;
;???One of the prisoners patiently pointed the way. ???;
;
;
;???"Thank you!" The big man surnamed Cui said, walked away. ???;
;
;
;???What a seven-foot tall man? The two Fuhai City criminals looked at each other and couldn't help but secretly cheer in their hearts. ???;
;
;
;???… ???;
;
;
;???The Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City is an eight-story attic. This is equivalent to the Bounty Prisoners Guild in Fuhai City. It is the gathering place for the Bounty Prisoners in Fuhai City. ???;
;
;
;???In the Zhengdao Building, bounty hunters can inquire about various information, communicate with each other, accept entrusted tasks, or form a team to join other bounty hunters to pursue the characters on the wanted list. ???;
;
;
;???Because there was a shocking case in Fuhai City two weeks ago, the Zhengdao Building in Fuhai City was quite lively. At this moment, in the Zhengdao Building, among the ten people inside, five or six people were discussing. The case a few days ago. ???;
;
;
;???The man named Cui did not enter the Zhengdao Tower. Instead, he sat down in a teahouse not far from the Zhengdao Tower, drinking tea and eating while listening to the storyteller in the teahouse... ()
