Chapter 153 The law of the ghetto
"Thank you, sister."
After the crowd dispersed, the pretty girl said respectfully to Chen Ziwei, but there was a hint of doubt in her bright eyes. Obviously, no one should be meddling in the Imperial Seal City.

Seeing this, Chen Zi chuckled slightly and said, "No need to thank me. We just came here and our lives are unresolved. We just need someone to talk to us. You two are just right."
"It just happened to be here?" Hearing this, the pretty girl relaxed her expression. Chen Ziyan couldn't help but shake her head again. What kind of world is this? It is said that she is using it, which will make it easier for others to believe it.

The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she developed a suspicious personality due to the surrounding environment.
"Thank you for your help from my sister. If you have any questions, I will tell you as long as I know it." The pretty girl hurriedly bowed.
Chen Ziwei waved his hand and said, "You have lived here for a long time. You should be very clear. Go into the yard."
At this moment, the pretty girl was stunned for a moment, as if she was hesitating about something, but the old man pulled the girl and said respectfully: "Miss, my grandfather and grandson are willing to do anything, so I will ask for it first!"
Chen Ziyan leaned against the door of the yard, and now he looked straight at the old man. Compared to the girl, he was not only old but also had a sharp look. Thinking about it, the grandfather and grandson, one was old and the other was young, both of whom were not very strong, but were able to live well in this outer valley of death. What he relied on was the experience of the old man over the years.
When the two passed by, Chen Ziyan didn't say anything, and turned around and walked into the yard. The small living room was already cleaned up and looked decent.
"What are your names?" Chen Ziwei asked after sitting down.
The old man stood up slightly and said, "The old man's surname is Wei. Just call me Lao Wei. My granddaughter's name is Wei Qing."
"Yeah, it's not bad!" Chen Ziwei nodded and said, "Old Wei, how long have you lived here?"
"It's been more than ten years. I was chased by my enemies and had to enter the Valley of Death." Old Wei looked sad and whispered: "Although I have to be careful every day, I have saved my life and raised Qing'er."
"More than ten years have passed, it's really not short." Chen Ziwei nodded and smiled at Chen Ziyan who was standing slanted at the door, and then said: "We just came here, but we only know that the Imperial Seal City is very large and we don't know anything else. Lao Wei, please tell me."
"Yes!" Lao Wei said: "There are nine areas in the Imperial Seal City, which are controlled by the ten major forces. Here we are called Shannan, and the force we belong to is the Great Sword Gang!"
Seeing that Chen Ziwei had no intention of interrupting, Lao Wei continued: "Everyone living in the city must pay a certain amount of money or other things to their respective forces in exchange for personal safety!"
"Protection fee?" Chen Ziwei and Chen Ziyan were shocked. This ancient style was actually seen in the outer valley of death. In the Yaori Dynasty, the power was complicated, and they had never seen such a fee charged, and they were all required by people!
Lao Wei said: "After you get married, you can have a place to settle down in the Imperial City. At least, as long as you don't offend others for no reason, others will not kill you easily. This is why the old man and Qing'er have been able to survive to this day with such strength for many years."
"Is that true?" Chen Ziyan blinked.
Chen Zi smiled slightly and replied to him. No wonder after killing people, the group of people was not afraid at first. It turned out that they had support later!
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziwei asked, "Now that I have killed a few people, is it the Great Sword Gang going to stand up for them to cause trouble for me?"
"If someone comes, it's not certain to cause trouble." Lao Wei said: "In fact, the so-called protection fee varies from person to person. When they see the lady's cultivation level, these troubles will naturally disappear."
"Oh?" Chen Ziwei asked with interest: "My cultivation level? Haha, those people's cultivation level is too shallow, and killing them is nothing. Lao Wei, why are you so sure about it?"
"The old man has lived to this day, and he has no other skills. His eyes have never been confused because of his old age." Old Wei smiled a little, and his voice immediately felt a little pleading, and he said, "Miss, if you are willing to save my grandfather and grandson, your heart must be kind, and in your heart, you must also think that both of us have useful value. Miss, take us in!"
"It's not difficult to take you in..."
"Miss, don't worry, the old man will never let you down!" Old Wei said loudly and looked very determined.
Chen Zi smiled faintly and said, "If you talk about these things later, my eyes are not as vicious as you. By the way, Lao Wei, we have been moving here for several days, why don't anyone come to collect protection fees?"
Upon hearing this, Old Wei smiled bitterly, but sighed a little, "Our Shannan is called a slum area. Most of the people living here are weak and weak. They can just have enough food and clothing in normal times. There are still some extra things to hand over there. Therefore, over time, the Great Sword Gang gradually gave up here. It is also because of this that although people living here live a more miserable life, they lack the danger of their lives."
"Old Wei, what does it mean?" Chen Ziwei frowned slightly and asked.
Lao Wei replied: "There are many ways to make money in the Imperial Seal City, and there are no need to mention killing. There are also some monsters in the mountains outside the city. People living in other places must pay a certain fee, so they must work hard. If one is not good, it is common to lose their lives."
Chen Ziwei's expression moved, and after a moment, there was a pleasant smile on his pretty face, "It seems that this Imperial Seal City is not too difficult!"
"Okay, Old Wei, you and Wei Qing are living in this yard. If you have any questions, I will find you."
"Thank you, Miss!" Old Wei looked overjoyed. With his eyesight, although he could not see clearly the true cultivation of this woman, it was true that as such a woman, she could live here in public, and she would definitely be extraordinary.
"By the way, Miss, there is one more thing to tell you." Old Wei suddenly spoke when Chen Ziwei was about to close his eyes and rest.
"you say!"
"There is another law in this slum area. This law has been passed down for many years. No matter who it is, as long as it lives here, it must be abide by and enforced." Speaking of this, Lao Wei, who has always been calm, has become more shocked at this moment.
