Chapter 61: The Scourge
Scourge
Time was going on, and Lu Lingtian completely severed the father-son relationship with Lu Tianhao and followed him to Chiba County.
After three or four days of non-stop, they gradually entered Chiba County, and after another day, the two finally arrived at Chiba Castle, the bustling center of Chiba County!
Sitting on horseback, Lu Lingtian was shocked, he thought that the top three cities in Bailing Lake had a taste of poor countryside
This is Chiba Castle, which has risen in a few months and is extremely prosperous!
Chen Chen couldn't help but sigh, he had just left this time, and now the prosperity of Chiba City surprised him, the city gate was as high as eleven zhang, the city wall was more than twenty zhang high, and a group of heavily armed soldiers on it were holding spears, patrolling back and forth with expressionless faces, revealing a murderous atmosphere.
There was a soldier in armor standing at the gate of the city, the Gundam was mighty, and his breath was long, he was obviously a great monk with a tempered body of thirteen levels, but his foundation was unstable, and his strength should be at the peak of the twelve-fold peak.
"Let's go. Chen Chen smiled and rode his horse into the city gate with Lu Lingtian.
"Boy, stop! You need to pay gold to enter Chiba Castle!"
The guard beside him shouted, and the two stopped.
"Pay gold?" Chen Chen was stunned, he had never heard of Liyan asking for income city fees, but he was relieved in a blink of an eye, Chiba City was already the main city of a county, and income city fees were not a bad thing, everyone longed to run inside, and it was not crowded to death.
"How much gold?"
"Not much, two hundred and thirty taels. The guard smiled.
Chen Chen frowned when he heard this, two hundred and thirty taels Although it is a drop in the bucket for himself, he doesn't know how long the income is for those people.
Even if it is the first county city Tianyan County to be side-sealed, the entrance fee to the main city is only two hundred taels of gold, and not long after Chiba County was side-sealed, the prosperity is not as good as Tianyan County, but the entrance fee is thirty taels more.
Unless...... This guard is on leave!
Chen Chen pursed his lips and said, "Two hundred and thirty taels, this is too much, Tianyan City is not so expensive." ”
Hearing this, Lu Lingtian was a little puzzled, two hundred and thirty taels was indeed a huge amount of money for civilians, but this pair of Chen Chen, who gave away the spirit treasure casually, should be a drop in the bucket. But after thinking about it, Master Chen Zu is not a stingy person, and there must be a reason for doing so.
The guard frowned, and said coldly: "Expensive, then don't come in, the prosperity of my Chiba County is not comparable to that of Tianyan County." ”
Chen Chen sneered, obviously, with Chiba County as a backer behind him, no one would question him, so he had to pay the money obediently.
Secretly increase the entrance fee to the city, eight or nine are not far from ten.
"Honorable Guard, you ......" Chen Chen smiled and said, "Did you secretly increase the entrance fee to the city?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd in the rear exploded, some people were not here for the first time, and they also knew that the two hundred and thirty taels of gold had been secretly increased, but because of this guard, they didn't have any doubts about it.
"That's right! You must secretly increase the entrance fee to the city, the lord of the county loves the people, it is impossible to set it so high!"
"Two hundred and thirty taels, why don't you grab it? Tianyan City in Tianyan County is not that high!"
"Think it's great to quench the pinnacle?!As a guard at the city gate, you dare to secretly increase the entrance fee to the city!"
"Let me go to Lord Lijun or Lord Zhong, you must have a ghost!"
......
The voice of doubt came overwhelmingly, and the guard at this time also panicked, the guard's name was Gao Yi, who broke through to the peak of the quenching body not long ago, and was arranged by Lord Zhong to collect the entrance fee at the entrance of the city, which should have been one hundred and eighty taels, but he secretly increased it to two hundred and thirty taels, although there have always been suspicions before, but it has never been so serious.
"Nonsense, bastard, you dare to fan the flames!" Gao Yi raised a big knife and shouted violently.
Chen Chen's face was gloomy, and he was about to raise his gun to teach him a lesson, but a voice came from the same place
"Ancestor Chen, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
After hearing this, Gao Yi, who was extremely arrogant before, changed his face and hurriedly showed respect.
The owner of the voice is none other than Liquan, who has been in the limelight recently, refreshing the speed of Dongmu's breakthrough through the Mystic Realm!
Gao Yi pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Young Master Li, this person fanned the flames and wanted to come to my Chiba City to find trouble!"
Liquan swept the middle-aged man in front of him and sneered, "Yes, why did you fan the flames?"
Gao Yi left a cold sweat, instantly regretting his words. What do you say? Say that he framed me for raising the entrance fee to the city? Liquan is not a fool, and if you ask casually, you will know that it is her own blood spurting people, and now it is a dilemma.
"This man lied about the entrance fee, and reported it as two hundred and thirty taels of gold. Chen Chen's anger disappeared and said slowly.
"Two hundred and thirty taels?!"
Liquan's face was gloomy when he heard this, and then he said, "If I'm not mistaken, what my father reported should be one hundred and eighty taels." ”
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yi swallowed his saliva and said, "No...... That's right, what Lord Lijun reported was indeed a hundred...... One hundred and eighty taels. ”
Liquan snorted coldly, raised his palm, and immediately slapped it!
"Smack!"
The loud slap came out at this moment, and anyone could hear it.
Gao Yi covered his red and swollen face and was speechless for a while.
"The young master of the ceremony is playing well, this person reports two hundred and thirty taels every time!"
"It's only been a month since my Chiba City revenue city fee, how much gold are you greedy for?" Reizumi raised his hand, and immediately prepared a second slap.
"I said, I said, all the money I took in the lower part of the ring was in this Tibetan ring. Gao Yi didn't know how much he was greedy, so he hurriedly took out a Tibetan ring and begged for mercy.
After taking the Tibetan ring, Liquan's soul was swept away, and he was immediately a little surprised, more than 100,000!
A small guard, relying on his own cultivation and deception, actually greedy for more than 100,000 gold!
"Come on, put away the Tibetan rings, check the number of people who have paid more gold since the first day, and return fifty taels per person when you come next time. As soon as Liquan said, a soldier of the Yin family took the Tibetan ring and memorized every sentence.
"Anyone who paid more before, come tomorrow to get the gold back!"
Liquan walked in front of Gao Yi and said, "Someone comes, put him in a cell in the city, wait for disposal, if you dare to resist, you will be killed!"
"Yes. ”
Gao Yi knelt on the ground and couldn't say anything, his eyes were full of despair, he was hiding so well, but since it was because of a little ghost, all the plans were shattered!
Many soldiers walked out and dragged the young man and the others away from the place.
He didn't dare to resist when he was detached, because he knew that once he resisted, Liquan in the lower realm of Mai Xuan would kill him in an instant, and if he didn't resist, maybe he would still be able to live.
