0Novel Reading Network Fantian City is one of the most prosperous cities in the empire.
Located in the center of the empire's vast central plain, it was an important transportation and commercial hub for the empire.
Yun Qing took a long detour and arrived here.
While Fantian City is known as the Pearl of the Empire, it is also known as the City of Sin.
Because this is also the most famous gold-selling cave in the entire continent.
The old city lord of Fan Tian City used everything to help the emperor when he first started his army.
After the establishment of the Tianhua Empire, the old city lord refused the title reward given by the emperor.
He just wanted to be the city lord of Fan Tian City and hoped to be independent.
The emperor thought of his kindness and agreed to the old city lord's request.
Of course, in the old city lord's time, Fan Tiancheng was only known as the Pearl of the Empire, and Fan Tiancheng gave more tax revenue to the empire every year than Duke Donghai.
After the death of the old city lord, his son, Lu Xin, changed some of the old city lord's policies, giving Fantian City another title as the City of Sin.
Here, there is the largest gambling house in the continent, and there are various activities prohibited by all countries in the continent.
Since the emperor promised Fan Tiancheng autonomy, he could only express his dissatisfaction.
But Lu Xin did not listen.
Now, every day, warriors and nobles from all over the continent spend money here.
But Fan Tiancheng's rules are also very strict.
It is said that Lu Xin even spent a lot of money to hire several master-level experts to take charge.
It can be said that as long as you have money, anyone can find what you want in Fan Tiancheng.
But you can't violate Fan Tiancheng's rules, otherwise Fan Tiancheng will die on the street if he can't even get out.
Yun Qing didn't feel much difference in Fan Tian City.
After all, Yun Qing was in the area where ordinary people lived in Fan Tian City.
The real gold-selling cave was located on the mountain in the middle of Fan Tian City.
Fan Tian City was built around the hill.
The top was the city lord's mansion, and at the foot of the mountain were the residences of the common people.
Between the two were Fan Tian City's casinos, brothels, auction houses, and various event venues.
Although Fantian City is a place where the wealth of the mainland gathers, the residents of Fantian City are not as wealthy as they imagined.
Because most of the wealth went into the pockets of the city lord Lu Xin, the people who worked for him did not earn much.
"Sir, do you need to repair your armor?"
A childish voice came.
Yun Qing looked down and saw a child about 15 years old looking at him expectantly.
Judging from the tools he brought, they were all used to repair leather armor.
It seemed that the child saw the leather armor Yun Qing was wearing, so he came to ask.
Yunqing's leather armor was originally used to conceal his identity when going to the capital.
It was the kind that most hunters in the empire would wear.
Yunqing actually doesn't need repairing, after all, he doesn't have much chance to wear it.
But when he saw the child's thin figure and the scars on his hands, his heart softened.
"Okay.
I'll leave it to you."
Yun Qing took off his leather armor and handed it to the child.
After getting the job, the little guy happily ran to the street and sat down: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will fix it soon."
Yun Qing followed him to the roadside.
When the little guy saw it, he immediately handed the stool he was sitting on to Yun Qing, and he sat on the ground.
Yun Qing returned the stool to him, but the little guy stubbornly pushed it to Yun Qing.
In the end, Yun Qing had no choice but to accept his kindness.
“How long have you been doing this and how is your business?”

"It's been more than a year."
The little guy replied while rubbing the areas that needed to be repaired on the leather armor: "The business is not bad.
I used to be often hungry.
Since I learned this craft, I don't often go hungry."
Yun Qing sighed, implying that he would still have nothing to eat sometimes, but at least he had a stable life now.
Looking around, there were many children doing some work on the roadside.
Selling flowers, repairing shoes, guiding people, and of course, some children were stealing and begging, obviously under the watchful eyes of adults.
"Are those guys unattended?"
Yun Qing asked with a frown when he saw a child stealing a pedestrian's wallet and giving it to a middle-aged man next to him.
The little guy looked up when he heard this, and then whispered: "Sir, please keep your voice down.
Those people are from the Flower Snake Gang, and they are very fierce."
"What's going on with those children?"
Yun Qing asked, "Are you also being controlled by them?"
"Shhh."
The little guy looked around cautiously, and then whispered: "Sir, those children's parents owed money to the Flower Snake Gang and couldn't pay it back.
In the end, the whole family was kidnapped by the Flower Snake Gang.
The man was They arrested them as laborers, and the women were sent to the brothels of the Flower Snake Gang.
As for the children, they were forced to steal or beg.”
The more Yun Qing listened, the more uncomfortable he felt: "It's so excessive.
Doesn't the city lord care?"
"The Flower Snake Gang pays money on time, and the city lord doesn't care about it."
The little guy's voice was very low: "Besides, those people all owe the Flower Snake Gang money.
Even if the adults from the empire ask, they still have it."
Exculpation."
"Hmph."
Yun Qing snorted coldly, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"Sir, it's fixed."
After a while, the little guy handed the repaired leather armor to Yun Qing.
Yun Qing took a silver coin and handed it to him: "This is for you."
"Oh my god, sir, I can't find them.
There are too many."
The little guy was shocked.
He had never seen silver coins before.
"Take it.
You don't have to look for it."
Yun Qing put the silver coin into his hand: "I don't have any copper coins with me."
It was a lie to say that there were no copper coins.
Yun Qing deliberately wanted to give him more coins.
Although Yun Qing is not very wealthy now, but now that he has seen it and likes this little guy, it is not a big deal to help him at all.
"This won't work.
Sir, please wait here for a while.
I'll be back in a minute."
Unexpectedly, the little guy shook his head repeatedly, and then ran into a nearby shop.
Not long after, I saw the child running over: "Sir, here are the copper coins for you."
As he said this, he forced it into Yun Qing's hand.

Yun Qing looked at the money bag in his hand dumbfounded.
He was quite depressed.
If he had known it, he would have given him copper coins directly.
It was so troublesome, but Yun Qing admired this child's approach.
"What's your name?"
Yun Qing asked.
"I don't have a name.
They all call me Big Head in the orphanage."
The little guy answered seriously: "I had a big head when I was little."
Yun Qing nodded, finally knowing how this little guy got such a good education.
After the Great Emperor Ling Tianhe single-handedly founded the Tianhua Empire, he once saw the miserable situation of several children who had lost their parents due to the war, and then sent people to establish orphanages in various places.
They also dispatched personnel to teach various skills to the children in the orphanage.
The first general of the empire, Ye Lingxiao, came out of the orphanage.
As long as his physical condition allows, the emperor will choose several orphanages every year to check the situation.
When he arrived at an orphanage in northern Xinjiang, he asked the children there what they would do when they grow up.
One of the children replied that he would lead troops like the emperor to expand the territory of the country, and that the troops of the Prairie Wolf Court in the north would not dare to come south to repay the emperor.
That child is Ye Lingxiao.
After that, the emperor became more concerned about the situation of the orphanage.
Even the management and supervision personnel of the orphanage were a system independently established by him that was independent of the imperial officials.
It can be said that the education received by the children in the orphanage is not much worse than that of the children sent by their families to the Imperial Martial Academy and the Imperial Academy of Literature.
But in Fan Tiancheng, there seems to be something wrong with the orphanage here.
Children of Datou's age are not supposed to be released to do business on the street.
"Why did your orphanage let you come out to do business?"
Yun Qing asked curiously.
Datou's face suddenly darkened: "I heard from the dean that the city lord swallowed up the money allocated by the empire to the orphanage.
The money the dean asked the city lord to give was not enough to feed everyone.
So we men must help Only the dean can.”
These bastards.
Yun Qing's heart was filled with murderous intent.
Obviously, this situation occurred because these unscrupulous nobles thought they had an opportunity to take advantage of the emperor's illness and the civil strife in the empire.
"Here you go."
Yun Qing handed him the money bag again: "This is not for you.
I donated it to your dean."
After hearing this, Da Tou looked at Yun Qing gratefully, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, his voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."
"Okay, get up."
Yun Qing pulled him up: "Put the money away, don't let it be stolen."
"No, no, no, I'll give it to the dean right now."
After saying goodbye to Yun Qing, Datou called all the children around, including the flower seller and shoe shoe seller, and went back together.
Yun Qing watched the group of children go away, looked at the people from the Flower Snake Gang again, and leaned against the wall with a sneer.
After a while, as if they had been stealing here for a long time, the people gestured to the children to follow them.
Yun Qing followed immediately.
It wasn't until night that those people took the children back, but they didn't see a black figure quietly following them in the dark night.
On this day, the murderous intention in Yun Qing's heart became stronger and stronger, because instead of giving the children any food all day, those people beat and scolded them harshly because the money they stole was too little.
"Is this here?"
Seeing those people entering a courtyard, Yun Qing walked around the courtyard, turned over and entered the courtyard.

The main house was brightly lit.
Yun Qing bypassed several groups of patrolling gang members and came to the main house.
He lay in the shadow of the corner and listened to the conversation inside.
This made people even more angry.
It turned out that the people inside were talking about how to get the people they liked to take the bait and owe them money, and then they could get their houses, and at the same time, their whole family would become their money-making tool. .
These people all deserve to die.
Yun Qing sneered, took out the Dark Dragon Demonic Bow, and sentenced the members of the Flower Snake Gang to death.
With a creak, the door to the room rang, and the top brass of the Flower Snake Gang came out. 0Novel Reading Network:
