Lujiang City has just gone through the war, the city walls are covered with crossbow arrows and catapult wounds, and the flat ground in front of the city is full of brown blood spots, because of this, no one enters or exits the city gate at all, no matter how I and Xiaolongma cower, it looks particularly dazzling, and the burly soldiers who are responsible for guarding the city gate have cast their eyes on us.

As we got closer, a bearded man yelled at me, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”

I smiled and said, "Master Jun, let's go into the city and buy some salt!" ”

The beard looked us up and down a few times, and suddenly exclaimed, "You are spies! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers behind him immediately pointed their spears at us, as if they were about to make a move.

Although I didn't take these soldiers into account, if the matter gets bigger, Zhou Yu will be on guard, and it will be a trouble at that time, after all, there is now the Nangong family assisting the Sun family, and Zhou Yu is on the same front, so I wonder if there will be a great grandmaster-level player over there.

Immediately smiled slightly, took out a few copper coins from his arms, and handed them to the bearded man with a smile: "Master Jun, I am a good citizen!" ”

The bearded man took the copper coins with a big grin, put one of them to his ear to listen, and said after a while: "The copper coin is our most honest friend, everything in the world can deceive people, but it will not!" Well, it told me that although you are not a spy, you are not a good citizen! ”

I immediately understood, this beard is just an excuse to ask for a bribe, simply took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it to him, the beard took the broken silver and put it in his ear to listen, looked at me with a smile, and smiled for a while before laughing: "Relatively speaking, what the silver said is more reliable, well, you are good citizens, you can go in." ”

Hurriedly walked forward with the little dragon horse, and just after walking two steps, a bearded voice came from behind him: "Hey, wait a minute." ”

scolded in his heart, turned his head and said with a smile: "Master Jun, I just bought some salt, I really don't have any extra money." ”

The bearded man scolded with a smile: "Damn, I didn't ask you for money, if you are buying salt, I advise you to go to the internal affairs yamen of West Street to buy it, in order to stabilize the people's livelihood and curb prices, Lord Sun is now holding a parity auction." ”

I pretended to be interested and smiled, "There is such a good thing, thank you in advance." ”

The bearded man threw away the broken silver in his hand: "Do you know where the internal affairs yamen is?" ”

I touched my nose and smiled bitterly, "My lord, I'm really not familiar with it." ”

"I'm fine now, anyway, so I'll take you there."

The bearded man explained a few words to the soldiers next to him, and then led us to the city.

Although I was extremely depressed, it was not easy to refuse. can only scold in my heart, damn, you are a doorkeeper who is actually free to take us around, this is called dereliction of duty, do you know?

There are very few people on the street, most of the shops on both sides are closed, it looks particularly deserted, and the beard took us through three or four streets, and arrived in front of a yamen, there were two soldiers standing at the door, seeing the beard, one of the pointy-faced soldiers smiled and said: "Liu Laosan, bring people to the auction again?" ”

Liu Laosan snorted and threw two copper coins to the soldier: "Shut your dog's mouth!" ”

The soldier took the coin and smiled, his gaze sweeping over us, but full of mockery.

A trace of doubt flashed in my heart, and when I thought about it, the big deal was to extort a little silver taels, and give them to them.

didn't bother to think about it so much, so he followed Liu Laosan straight into the yamen.

Turning the shadow wall, there is a rather wide compound behind it, the courtyard is full of all kinds of rice bags, salt bags, cloth and other daily necessities, there is a desk in the middle, behind the desk stands a middle-aged officer with bright eyes, and there is a small desk on the side of the desk, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and behind it sits an old man with a white beard, who seems to be in charge of registration, and there are three or four soldiers to maintain order.

In addition to these soldiers, there were dozens of people in the courtyard, all whispering something, with different expressions on their faces, some happy and some depressed.

Liu Laosan yelled at us Nunu and motioned for us to stand on the side of the people, but he was smiling and whispering something to one of the soldiers.

The middle-aged officer behind the big case coughed lightly: "The next thing to be auctioned is one hundred catties of rice, and the reserve price is one tael of silver, and each increase cannot exceed five yuan, and the highest price is six taels of silver!" ”

In this war-torn era, it is very likely that a hundred catties of rice will be sold for twenty taels of silver, and the reserve price of this auction is one tael of silver, and the highest price is only six taels, which can be regarded as a real parity.

"I'm six taels of silver!" A thin man with a yellow face and thin muscles suddenly shouted.

The middle-aged officer smiled: "Deal!" ”

After the thin man with yellow muscles in his face was registered, the middle-aged officer smiled: "The ugly words are ahead, if you find out that you have sold rice to others, you will end up miserable!" ”

The thin man said in a loud voice: "This nature, this nature!" After saying that, with the help of the soldiers, he carried a bag of rice and walked out quickly. It's hard to imagine that such a thin person can carry a hundred catties of rice, and he can walk like a fly.

The auction continued, and from time to time someone bought the materials they wanted, and left with a smile, and Xiaolongma and I were a little impatient, damn, why didn't you auction the salt?

I wanted to leave, but Liu Laosan refused to leave, and we couldn't leave on our own.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the people present were carrying the things they needed and left, and there were only a few people left in Liao Liao, except for me and Xiaolongma, as well as an old man with a sharp mouth and a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, there were more than a dozen soldiers, and they all seemed to come to see the excitement.

The middle-aged officer glanced at the remaining few of us and said with a smile: "Are you all here to buy salt?" ”

"Yes!" We answered almost in unison.

"That's good, ten catties of salt in a pack, the price of gold starts at five taels! There is no cap! The middle-aged officer suddenly sneered.

"What? Five taels of gold? I exclaimed.

What is the concept of five taels of gold? It's just sky-high, and today, it's equivalent to buying a bag of salt with the money you used to buy a car.

Is this wrong or crazy?

"Yes, five taels of gold!" The middle-aged officer looked at us mockingly.

I glanced at Dragoma and turned to leave, I wasn't here to buy salt, and now I had an excuse to leave.

Unexpectedly, in a choking sound, Liu Laosan and dozens of other soldiers pulled out their sabers one after another, and Liu Laosan sneered: "Since you came in, leave the money on your body, I don't think people will be wrong, you are definitely fat sheep." ”

Damn, after a long time, this is simply a trap, by the vicious Liu Laosan who is looking for fat sheep at the city gate, and then brings people to this so-called parity auction, those people may be trusted, or they may really come to buy things, the purpose is to stabilize us, and after only we are the fat sheep left, Liu Laosan and others began to slaughter sheep.

Damn, fell into a trap.

I was extremely depressed, and it seemed that I had to be alarmed when I encountered this kind of thing.

Just as he was about to beckon Xiaolongma to make a move, a soldier suddenly rushed in outside the door and said urgently: "It's not good, Lord Sun has come to inspect." ”

Hearing this, the dozen or so soldiers were all nervous, and then Liu Laosan said sharply: "Everyone stay calm, it's not a big deal to inspect!" He turned to look at us viciously: "Don't talk nonsense later, as long as you wait for Lord Sun's inspection to end, I will let you go immediately!" If you dare to talk nonsense, I will be punished by the adults and hacked to death! Hear me! ”

The old man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and the big man with the tiger's back and bear's waist both trembled: "Understood, understood!" ”

I glanced at Xiaolongma, couldn't cry or laugh, and immediately smiled bitterly: "I hope you will be the talker." ”

As soon as Liu Laosan and the others' knives were sheathed, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a young officer with a majestic weapon walked in with seven or eight guards with blank expressions.

This guy seems to be Sun Ce.

Sun Ce smiled and nodded at us, and then shifted his gaze to the middle-aged officer: "Captain Gong, how many things have you sold today?" ”

Lieutenant Gong, a middle-aged officer, picked up the account book in front of the white-bearded man and handed it to Sun Ce, and said with a smile: "Today is a little more than yesterday, it seems that the people's hearts in Lujiang City have begun to stabilize." ”

Sun Ce looked through the account book, asked a few more questions, and returned the account book to Captain Gong: "Well, that's fine, I've worked hard for you." After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but he suddenly stopped, took out a box from his arms, and said, "By the way, I'll show you something." ”

He opened the box, and the moment I saw its contents, I almost exclaimed.

The contents of this box are actually half a copper coin!

At the beginning, after I killed the giant python in Chang'an City, I got a wooden box from its belly, and then Zhou Papi took out half a copper coin from it, and said that as long as I found the other half of the copper coin, I could crack an earth-shattering secret or something.

Damn, the other half of the copper coin is actually in Sun Ce's hands!

"Next time before you start the auction, ask the people involved in the auction to see if they have seen the other half of the copper coin, and if anyone can provide useful clues, I can reward him with ten thousand taels of gold!" Sun Ce said slowly.

Hearing this, Captain Gong was surprised and said, "My lord, is this half a copper coin so heavy?" ”

Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "This is related to the common people in the world, as long as the two broken copper coins are combined, we can summon a ghost called Netherworld, and when the time comes, we can drive it to help us fight the world." ”

What the? This copper coin was actually used to summon Nether clones?

Damn, could there be more happier news than that? For a long time, I only knew that Zhou Yu was a netherworld clone, and the other netherworld clone didn't know where it was, and now Sun suddenly learned that this copper coin could summon it, and the surprise in his heart was mentioned, and he immediately said with great joy: "My lord, my lord, I have something to say." ”

Hearing me shouting, Gong Xiaowei and the others all changed their faces greatly, Liu Laosan instantly pulled out his saber, pointed at me and said sharply: "You dead bald head, what are you called, and then ask Lao Tzu to hack you to death!" ”

Sun Ce glanced at Liu Laosan and said lightly: "Why, others can't speak yet?" ”

Liu Laosan hurriedly withdrew his knife and stepped aside, glaring at me fiercely, and the threat in his eyes was clear. R1058
