When they returned to Guandu, it was the beginning of the unitary time, and it was the time when the county government was out of duty, and the three of them stored their horses in the stables, and it was impossible to cross the bridge with a swagger, so they planned to find a black boat to cross the river.

As soon as the three of them came out of the duty room of the stable, a man dressed as a fisherman came up and said sneakily: "The three guest officers are going to cross the river?" ”

Pi Yang nodded and mumbled, walked in the direction of the bridge, the boatman took a few steps in front of him, glanced at the bridge vigilantly, then lowered his voice, spread his five fingers and said: "If the three of you have hit the bridge, you will have to pay this price, and you only need to take the little old boat..."

Pi Yang waved his hand and interrupted: "Hey, isn't it just fifty dollars?" We can afford it,"

The corner of the boatman's eyes twitched, and he smiled: "I saw that the guest officer was coming to Padang for the first time, otherwise the little old man would have thought you were joking." ”

"How?"

"The guest officer doesn't know, this bridge toll is calculated according to your physique, and your physique alone costs two hundred yuan," the boatman pointed to the two behind Pi Yang: "These two have a total of three hundred, which is still less." ”

"What about taking a boat?" Yang Yao stepped forward and said curiously.

The boatman knew that it was the tall man in front of him who was in charge, so he just glanced at the little girl, and said directly to Pi Yang: "According to the head, how about only charging you 300 yuan?" ”

"Not good." Pi Yang glanced at the fisherman expressionlessly, put his hands behind his back, and walked away.

"Ouch—" The boatman followed a few paces, and began to talk about the price: "Two hundred and eight?" ”

Pi Yang ignored it and walked forward.

"Two hundred and six?"

Continue to ignore it.

The boatman was anxious: "Two hundred and five, two hundred and five, this is the lowest price, it can't be lower." ”

You're only two hundred and five, and your whole family is two hundred and five! Pi Yang stopped, looked at the boatman with unkind eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "You are a good bully when we come from other places?" I just heard from the little guy in the warehouse that it only costs 80 yuan to cross the river by private boat. ”

"Eighty dollars a piece?" The boatman was stunned, and then realized that this person was talking nonsense and wanted to lower the price.

He's been working here for months, and most of the guys in the store know him, and sometimes he helps introduce customers, so how can he say that? However, the boatman couldn't expose it to his face, for fear of smashing the deal, so he smiled and said:

"Don't listen to those guys' nonsense, where do you ask, it's also a hundred dollars a person, Xiao Lao thought that this was the last job, so he charged you this price."

Pi Yang stopped talking to him, turned back and waved at the black beauty and the little girl, suddenly changed direction, and walked straight to the pine forest on the left. Yang Jingxuan didn't really care about how much money it was, she hesitated for a moment, but still took Yang Yao to follow.

Not far from the warehouse, a small road goes straight into the woods, from which to the east go three miles, out of the pine forest, there is a small fishing village, because there is a small ditch in the village that is dry all the year round, so it is named Gangou Village.

At that time, there were rumors that Zhao Yin was brutal by nature, and he would slaughter the city if he seized the city, so nearly half of the people in the county and town ran away, and those who didn't run would find remote villages to hide. After the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty, those who ran away, some returned to their hometowns, and some never returned, so many houses were empty.

Soon after, the people in the town moved to the county seat, and the people in the village moved to the town. I don't know when this deserted village became a black market for buying and selling goods. Horses of unknown origin, weapons made privately, prohibited goods strictly controlled by the government, official silver that is forbidden to circulate, everything can be bought and sold here, and even slaves can be bought and sold here.

"Hey, where are you taking us?" The three of them walked among the pine forests, and Yang Yao asked loudly at the back of the disciple.
