Chapter 645: City Gate Tragedy

"The two military masters are angry, just an old man, and the two who can't be provoked are so angry, they all dissipate their anger and say it well!" Yu Xiaofen's round head, round face, and smiling look like a bun that has just come out of the cage.

The tall man was also tired, so he collected his legs stupidly, spat at Old Man Huang, and scolded in his mouth: "You can't be kind to deal with this kind of Diao people! If you don't have money for transportation, don't want to go to the city for the rest of your life!"

Old man Huang's face was covered with blood, and he looked miserable lying on the ground, muttering in his mouth: "Thirty taels a month, three hundred wen a month, five hundred wen in ten years, one tael a year, and two taels in tribute, at the end of the year, these offerings alone will cost four taels of silver! We are all poor families, and we can't even take out one tael all year round, so where can we afford to pay four taels! If we don't have money to pay, we will raid our homes and take away everything we can eat and drink! You brutes who eat people and don't spit out bones, and you will have no way to live, and sooner or later you will be punished!"

"Fuck, you're looking for death!" The short man scolded with a glaring eyeball, kicked the old man Huang again, pointed at him and scolded: "You have committed a great crime of rebellion with these words, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will report to the general and the prefect, arrest you, and destroy you!"

Yu Xiaofen hurriedly stuffed something into the short man's hand, pulled him aside, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, don't be like him, he doesn't know how to speak, don't be angry!"

The short man looked down at his hand, but it was a silver ingot of white flowers, not to mention one or two, and suddenly smiled, stuffed it into his arms, and looked at Yu Xiaofen approvingly and nodded.

As soon as he heard that the door was full of beheading, Old Man Huang's face twitched, thinking of his little grandson, two lines of muddy tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, and someone next to him also came over and whispered to him: "Old Man Huang, don't talk nonsense, you will really kill your head!"

But at this moment, there was a sudden cry from outside the city, and a woman with a cloak stumbling towards the city gate, the old man Huang got up and looked, his eyes widened, he got up from the ground, went over and grabbed the woman, and said, "Old woman, why are you here? Aren't you at home watching your grandson?"

"Sun Tzu... The grandson swallowed!" When the woman said this, her eyes rolled and she fainted!

Old Man Huang froze, his eyes looked ahead in distraction, and he muttered, "My grandson... Impossible, the old woman is crazy, nonsense, this can't be!"

The two city guards snorted disdainfully at the same time, and the short man said in a weird manner: "This old man is a mourning star, he killed his son and daughter-in-law, and now he has killed his grandson, and no one deserves to send you to the end!"

Old man Huang was shocked, and his whole person seemed to be dozens of years old in an instant, and his mouth kept muttering: "I am a mourning star! I am a mourning star!" Along the city gate wall, he slowly walked westward.

The people next to him looked at him with a little pity and taboo, and they all avoided him, Xiaobao felt that something was going to happen to him, turned over and dismounted, and wanted to follow him, the god of war Wumei grabbed his arm and whispered: "Emperor, don't act rashly, otherwise the fighter will be exposed!"

If the city guards recognize him, then the news of Xuanzun's presence in Nanping will spread quickly, and the Yin army will never let him go!

Although the people around him are all masters now, but for the Xuan army, the sneak attack on Nanping is a battle that takes advantage of the weakness and is caught off guard.

In this stunned moment, but heard a burst of exclamations from everyone next to him, Xiaobao and Wumei turned their heads to look, only to see that not far from the city gate, Old Man Huang had hit his head on the cornerstone of the city wall, his head was broken and bleeding, and even ** flowed on the ground, and when everyone ran over, he was already dead!

"Old man!" the woman who had just woken up screamed and rushed over. But the tall city guard scolded: "Damn, you are dead here! Old woman, quickly ask someone to get the body of your dead old man, if it is not cleaned within an hour, I will report to the general to burn down your house!"

The woman squatted next to the corpse of the old man Huang, without saying a word, in the blink of an eye, the two people who depended on each other died, where could she bear it, her spirit had completely collapsed, and she kept shouting: "Dead, all dead, I am the only one left, I am the mourning star!"

Laughing and standing up, walking and running, walking farther and farther along the city wall! The tall man cursed and shouted, "Hey, you dead old woman, actually..."

The short man next to him stopped him and said, "Forget it, our brothers should be unlucky, and we will call someone to clean it up later! Damn, people are on duty and don't lose money, so our brothers don't make much money, and they have to post money to move the corpses! Stop, what are you doing?"

The short man stretched out his arm and stopped in front of Xiaobao. Looking at him and the few people behind him, although all of them had their heads down and were silent, they exuded an aura that made people dare not approach, which alerted the short freshmen.

Xiaobao and the others fought hard to hold back the anger in their hearts, and kept warning themselves not to be impulsive, otherwise it would bring great danger to the troops behind and affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of people!

Yu Xiaofen hurriedly ran over, nodded and said to the short man: "This is my young master! My master is the owner of Hongcheng Jinxiufang." Does Hongcheng Jinxiufang know? Even the prince often goes there to make clothes! The lord sent our young master to go into the city to discuss business, and he hopes that the two officials will be accommodating!" As he spoke, he took out two ingots of silver and stuffed them into the hands of the two city guards.

This time it is considered to have earned enough capital, and the faces of the two city guards have softened a lot, although Hongcheng has not been there, but they also know that it is not far from Kyoto. Since even the prince went to other people's stores to make clothes, it shows that people are rich and powerful, and they can't afford to be provoked by a small soldier like himself!

The short man hurriedly put on a smiling face and said politely to Xiaobao: "In this way, you should be here for the first time, right? Where are you going? Find the owner of which store? I know Liao Cao well, I'll show you the way!"

Yu Xiaofen's expression froze, and he didn't know how to answer. How did he know what shops were in this Nanping City, it was originally nonsense, and this little soldier was more real!

I have the intention to talk nonsense again, but this little soldier is a well-versed person, once he is mistaken or not, it will arouse the suspicion of this guy!

"It's going to Darunfeng in the south of the city!" Danniang, who was sitting on horseback, suddenly said, the faces of the two city guards became more kind, they were a little restrained, and they bowed down and said to Xiaobao: "Oh, it turned out that I went to the shopkeeper, those people are invited! Say hello to the shopkeeper for me!"

Seeing that he let him go, Xiaobao and the others did not delay, just nodded and rode into the city. Looking at the rotten vegetables on the ground, and then looking at the big basket next to it, it was full of stuffed things, there were vegetables, meat and cakes, thinking of the old man Huang and the crazy lady who died on the city wall, Xiaobao didn't want to stay here for a minute, I was really afraid that I couldn't help but teach the two city guards a good lesson!

In addition to the city defense soldiers, there are also government offices, and even the entire Yin Dynasty is like this, treating the people as dogs, bullying them arbitrarily, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the people have nothing to live on, and the world is full of complaints!

However, no matter how corrupt the imperial court is, there are also several lively cities, which seem to be rich and lively. This is the case with Yuezhou and Lanyue City, and so is this Nanping City.

As the hinterland of the Central Plains, Nanping City always seems to feel that the war is far away from itself, so most of the people living in the city are rich people, some of them are rich businessmen, some are big landlords, sitting on thousands of family wealth, enjoying the Gaomen compound.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and like the pattern of many cities, Nanping is also a main road running through the city, which is the widest road in the city, and the others are secondary roads and lanes.

The most prosperous and lively shops in the city are on both sides of this main road, with restaurants, cloth villages, money villages, pawnshops, green buildings, etc., all kinds of things.

Everyone first found an inn named Jixiang to live in. At the beginning, Tie Yi wanted to stay somewhere else, after all, this is the main street of Nanping, and it is too conspicuous to live here!

However, Danniang said that she must live here, after all, everyone's identity is a rich family from Hongcheng, and the pomp and circumstance still have to be sufficient! The most important thing is that the more conspicuous it looks, the less attention it will be, and hiding will cause trouble!

Danniang used to walk the rivers and lakes by herself, and she had encountered all kinds of dangers, so she had the most experience, and Xiaobao also agreed with her, so everyone opened a few rooms above the Jixiang Inn and stayed.

Now everyone must first contact the Divine Chicken Mother-in-law in order to know the whereabouts of the Yuanbao Divine Doctor and the red-robed Divine Appearance, so the top priority is to find the Divine Lady first!

Everyone arranged the room, let Xiao Er bring the food to the big room, ate a full stomach together, and then went out of the inn, and each of them wandered around the city separately, secretly looking for the traces of the master's wife.

Xiaobao, Tie Yi and Dan Niang did not stay in the inn, and Dan Niang made some simple disguises for Xiaobao, which was nothing more than sticking a fake beard and making a few eye lines to make the appearance look more mature, and then dressed himself and Tie Yi as two maids, and followed Xiaobao's left and right.

The young people in the Central Plains have such a habit of having nothing to do, taking the pretty maids in their own houses, followed by a few family members, wandering around the city and doing nothing. This is a kind of identity, a kind of show-off, whose maid is the most beautiful, the most courageous, and the most face-saving!

Now Xiaobao is like a man who relies on the wealth and power of the family, the blessing of the ancestors, and the cover of the father, who is invincible and domineering!

"Poof!" Tie Yi next to him covered his mouth and laughed, quietly pinched a handful of meat on Xiaobao's waist, and scolded in a low voice: "It's good to be pretty, if your legs fall a little higher, your boots will fly out!"

Danniang also glanced at him with resentment and said, "Have you always wanted to be a gentleman in your heart, how can you learn to be so similar!"

Xiaobao was suddenly aggrieved, and said with a bitter face: "Don't say it's Brother Gongzi, if you don't go down the mountain, I don't know that there are still one or two ingots of silver!"

This is not a lie and pretending to be pitiful, not to mention it in Yuanyang Village, not to mention silver, I have never seen a few copper coins! When I arrived at Caixia Mountain, I didn't need to spend money on food and clothing, only when I went down the mountain, the master gave me a coil, and that was the first time Xiaobao put silver and two coins on his body!
