Chapter 81 Return

Return to Lizhou.

Li Qi was swaggering, not like a wanted criminal at all.

Because no one really cared.

Half a month had passed, but only a few members of the lower-level gangs died. This kind of thing doesn't happen every day, but it's not rare.

Moreover, when Li Qi came to see it, there were probably 70 or 80 wanted orders similar to his.

The lower class is like this, everyone has nothing but a rotten life. When it's time to fight, the rich fight for their property and what they have.

But the rotten people at the bottom have nothing but their own lives, so they can only put their only life, the only life worth a little money, on the gambling table, hoping to make a comeback.

But the very funny thing is that although there are a row of wanted orders, Li Qi is sure that in the government office of Lizhou, these people must not have filed a case.

If a case is filed, it must be completed and investigated to the end.

But if it is not filed, there is no need to care at all.

The most important thing is that whether to file a case or not depends on the mood of the government office.

It's okay to meet a responsible head constable, but since he can be lazy, how long can he last even if he is a responsible head constable?

The person who files the case takes more responsibilities, but he doesn't get more rewards. Instead, he will be criticized and asked more. Who can stand it in the long run?

Fortunately, the constables have absolute power to suppress. The bad guys below can fight, but they all know one thing, that is, no matter how many people die, they must be arrested.

Once they can't be arrested, can those people who practice rubbish skills beat the constables?

Then they will all die.

The place where the Pai Bo Gang lives is dirty, smelly and narrow. It is not a good place. Usually, no one is willing to go there except the lower class people themselves.

Lizhou seems to have millions of people crowded together, and it should be crowded together, but in fact, the inside is clearly divided, and invisible high walls are built layer by layer to separate different people.

Li Qi walked in it and looked at the city with the eyes of an outsider.

"It's really rotten." Li Qi shook his head.

Unlike those small towns, Lizhou has a rotten smell as soon as you enter.

Li Qi is now around the market.

There are two bodies lying at his feet.

They should be beggars who died of starvation and cold. They are a mother and son. The mother is half-dressed and the child is barely wrapped in rags. They are probably thrown out to die.

And right next to the bodies, two fast horses passed by.

Two young men in brocade clothes rode fast horses, laughing loudly, and almost hit Li Qi, but they didn't care at all. They rode their horses all the way and enjoyed the joy of racing.

Although he has lived in Lizhou for more than two or three years, this scene still made Li Qi sigh.

In the past, I pulled boats every day, went out early and came back late, and was exhausted, so I didn't know that there were so many rich people with horses in Lizhou.

Sure enough, people stand in different positions and see different things.

I guess what I thought, that there is no breeding industry in this world, is just what I thought.

It's just that these low-class scumbags are not qualified to see it, but it's not that others don't have it.

This place is completely different from the slums where Li Qi used to live.

I haven't been here before, but today I came here and realized how big the difference is. You know, if you come here normally, you will be looked down upon, and some patrolmen will even drive you away.

Now that I am wearing this not-so-shabby clothes, I can walk here naturally without being pointed at by others.

This street is not for anything else, just to buy some small gifts.

It's just that many scenes have never been seen before.

Li Qi bought a lot of things and filled his backpack. Some were for his brothers, and some were for Shen Shuibi and Lao Ma, but he only spent less than a thousand coins, which was not as valuable as this set of clothes.

However, they were all practical things, such as a sewing box, wear-resistant coarse cloth, and some wooden toys. The most important thing was that he bought some medicines, some for injuries, and some for anti-inflammatory and analgesic, which were all medicines that the trackers often needed.

Apart from that, he did not buy food. It was unnecessary. You can buy food later. Buy more practical things. Gifts should be practical.

After buying these things, Li Qi carried his backpack and walked into the alleys where he used to live.

Walking all the way to his old home, there were few people at all. Most of them went to pull boats.

People at the bottom of society work hard day and night, but they have few hours to rest. Most of those who stay at home during the day are injured or sick. Sometimes, even if they are sick, they have to insist on going, otherwise there will be no rice at home.

However, isn't that why gangs exist?

With gangs, if something goes wrong, other brothers can help you, and you don't have to do everything by yourself.

The unity and centripetal force of the gang comes from this.

Therefore, if some of them are sick, other brothers will share a little bit of the profits, so they can survive and recover well.

When Li Qi came here, some boatmen who were injured because of illness were taking care of the bacon made from the pigs slaughtered in spring and the dried fish caught in the sun at home.

It may seem like a lot, but this is the food for 780 people for a year. If something goes wrong, they will sell it for money, so people usually don't have the chance to eat it. There is little meat in their diet.

Yes, although there are only two or three hundred trackers, they also have families, children, and wives. Although these people can't do much work, they still have to eat, so naturally they can't be too well-off.

These trackers, and some of their families, clearly saw Li Qi coming back.

"Brother Li!?" They were shocked, but at the same time happy in their hearts, and hurried over.

About five or six trackers, some family members, more than a dozen people, came together: "Brother Li, why are you back? Uncle Liu said you would not be back until the end of the year!"

"Brother Li is back!"

"Brother Li, he is still wearing new clothes!"

"Where did you go this time, Brother Li? Uncle Liu said you went far away. I haven't been out of the city yet. What does the outside of the city look like?"

Li Qi was surrounded by a bunch of noisy voices, but he felt a little familiar. He clapped his hands: "Don't make a mess, don't make a mess, go back first, don't block here, go back, someone go to inform Uncle Liu, let's go back and talk slowly!"

Li Qi still has prestige among the trackers, so after clapping his hands, these people also endured the things in their hearts, lowered their voices, and went back with Li Qi in a mess.

After Li Qi went back, he began to distribute the things he bought to each family.

The children were happy, and the wives of the trackers were even happier. The trackers were a little embarrassed, but they all accepted it.

Because Li Qi said that he had money.

So they believed it.

After a while, Uncle Six also came back.

Everyone please vote, thank you!
