Chapter 90

Early in the morning, when the drum of the city gate sounds, the east of Changzhou city passes outside the Wu Gate, which will be crowded with traders who want to enter the city early, many of them are driving the cart to come, this yesterday after the city gate was opened, although the price of grain in the city fell in response, but the price of grain is still the sky-high price of three taels or six dollars of silver per stone, this is not, it is just a day's work, the grain price of Changzhou has attracted the surrounding traders.

From the second half of the night, hundreds of carts were parked outside the closed city gates, all of which were grain dealers who came from all over the country to earn a sum of money.

"Nothing should happen!"

Cui Zongtai, who was in the palace, always felt a little uneasy in his heart, and faintly always felt that something was wrong.

From yesterday until now, he thought a lot, although under the persuasion of the master, he did not close the city gate, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this so-called thief came to Changzhou, and nine times out of ten it was a suspicious soldier surnamed Zhu, and that person must be worried that after leaving Jiangjiang, he would lead the troops to fight Jiangyin.

"Tens of thousands of people bravely ......"

As long as he closes the city gate, he will naturally not pose a threat to Jiangyin, and when the time comes, the thieves can naturally easily take Changshu.

But, it seems, there is something wrong!

"Cui Liu, Cui Liu......"

The shouting on this side didn't stop, and someone ran over there.

"Master, the slave is here!"

As a serf of the Cui family, Cui Liu bent over and beat thousands, and the appearance of that slave was all branded in his bones.

"Are the gates open?"

"No, master, didn't you tell you to wait until the hour to open the city gates?"

Cui Liu asked a little puzzled.

"Master, there is a rumor from the master that someone outside the city sent a letter in the middle of the night, saying that the thieves arrived outside Changzhou last night, and the master asked you, is this city gate open today, or not?"

What the?

Thieves out of town?

The minion's words made Cui Zongtai's eyelids jump, and he immediately said urgently.

"How is this possible, yesterday the rebels were still in Tang, and today they are in Changzhou, ridiculous! They can't do it! ”

Saying this in his mouth, after thinking for a while, Cui Zongtai said cautiously,

"Go, call Master, let's go up to the city and have a look! Lao Tzu has to see what else can be done with the suspicious tactics of the surnamed Zhu! ”

In Cui Zongtai's view, the so-called Jiangyin rebels came to the city, but it was just a suspicious tactic by the surnamed Zhu to stabilize the rear.

Half a pillar of incense, the group arrived at the east gate tower, looking down from the tower, Cui Zongtai looked at the big cars on the road, as well as the sacks on the big cars, and then he looked into the distance, and asked the master beside him.

"Yuncheng, do you think the news of this thief's approach to the city is reliable?"

"Hey......

first smiled, and then Li Cunpu said with a smile.

"My lord, if it's a small letter to this, it is estimated that last night, as soon as the news came, someone would call you! The villain thinks that even if there is, it is estimated that even if there is, it is nothing more than a dozen or twenty thieves, as for the team...... My lord, throughout the ages, have there ever been a large number of people who have traveled hundreds of miles a day? ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a burst of laughter around him, of course, there were inevitably compliments, and the compliments were the wisdom of the adults, not moved by the traitors of the thieves.

In ancient times, there was no, it does not mean that there is no now, Zhang Xiaowu, who was standing by the grain truck, looked at the city gate hole from time to time, as an old soldier, he saw the location of the jack gate gate at a glance. Just glanced at it, and the people around him pulled up, and no one could hear anything about the Changzhou dialect.

Waiting, waiting, finally, when the time came, the doorkeeper's voice finally came.

"The eldest lord has a life, and the city has opened ......"

After that shout, the city gate opened, and when the heavy iron-clad city gate was slowly opened, the city keeper shouted again.

", all go to the outside site, the lord has a life, now the thieves are rebelling, you are all good citizens, you should repay the service, each grain truck in addition to the fixed tax, a rate of 3 taels of ......"

Although they were mentally prepared for the taxes to enter the city, they still couldn't help but complain when they heard that they had to pay three taels of donations.

"Damn, love to make friends or not, whoever the hell talks nonsense, Lao Tzu will directly drag you to the prison for a good trial, maybe you are a thief. When the time comes, the house will be destroyed! ”

Don't even need too many words, everyone suddenly became dumb, if you say what the Qing Kingdom is most impressed, that is, tyranny far beyond the imagination of the world, when the head was shaved, it was said that the killing was hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions of kills, that has never been soft, and now, this government is also raiding the house and destroying the door at every turn, that is like the previous dynasty, and the people are discussed.

"What a thief did it......

This complaint, not to mention, no one knows whether the complaint is a "thief" or a "pirate" now, after the city gate official shouted that sentence, these vendors who were waiting to enter the city and sell at a good price all seemed to accept their fate, pay taxes and donations. There is still the slightest complaint.

"What the hell is a bunch of!"

The mouths of the gatekeepers were scolding, and they looked down on these people.

"Uncle, look, I'm from Master Dongchengtian's house, there are more than 20 cars in total, you always look at ......"

When it was Zhang Xiaowu's turn, he directly took out a silver ingot, and stuffed the silver into the hands of the city gate officials as he spoke.

"Oh, Master Tian's ......"

Weighing the weight of the silver ingot, the gatekeeper's face looked much better.

"Well, it's all native to the hometown, and it's not difficult for you, shorty, count 15 cars......"

As he spoke, the gatekeeper pointed to the grain cart that was piled up on top of the gate hole.

"I said, your old man is also really, there are so many grains piled up on the car, and he is not afraid of tiring the livestock, even if he gets on a few more carts, it is just a matter of a few taels of silver, if it goes down again, Lao Tzu will double it!"

"Uncle teaches a lesson, and a lesson is ......"

Playing thousands, Pei smiled, first paid the tax, and then Zhang Xiaowu turned his face and beckoned the cart transporting grain to hurry over, more than 20 grain carts, the mighty movement was half a mile, and when the first car came out of the city gate hole of the urn city, the rear car had not yet entered the east gate.

"Sun Mingquan, hurry up!"

Zhang Xiaowu, who was standing in the city gate hole, urged the head car in front of him, he didn't blow it, but his words just fell, and the big car in the city gate hole in the urn city was broken with a "bang".

"What's going on......

Before the city gate official could speak, suddenly a roar sounded in his ears.

"Brothers, do it!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone with a knife rushing towards him.
