In the blink of an eye, I saw a dog suddenly burst out of the dark alley, this is a big dog, and it is a very smart dog, this dog saw a large group of people on the street, and they were all holding bright swords, and immediately whined, clamped his tail, turned around and ran back into the alley!

Li Ri knew: "This is definitely not a ghost village, this dog is obviously raised by someone, and he knows the sword!" ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the alley, and someone ran over, and as soon as the man rushed out of the alley, he shouted, "Who, who, who are you?" ”

The man who ran out was a young man in his twenties, shirtless, wearing fat pants, and he was carrying a wooden stick in his hand, and ran out of the alley in a panic!

When the man saw Li Rizhi and them, he shouted, "How did you come in, you are not allowed to come in here!" ”

Li Rizhi arched his hand at him and said: "We are passing by, we want to go to Bocheng County to find relatives, now it is dark and there is nowhere to stay, I see that there is a village here, so I want to come in and ask for convenience, little brother, are you the Lizheng here?" ”

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm not Lizheng, there is no Lizheng here, I'm just a watchman, just lighting lanterns every night or something!" ”

He pointed to the side of the gate, and said: "You have to go out, this village is built for nobles to live, and there is no ordinary people to stay in it, this is an order from the county commander, if you don't leave, be careful of the lawsuit, and then arrest you for hard labor, don't blame me for not explaining it to you in advance!" ”

Li Rizhi saw that this person was a little stunned, and it was estimated that he was not an important person, but being able to play a shift here also meant that he would know some things, so he smiled and said: "This brother, it is convenient for others, it is convenient for yourself, since there is no one else in this village, then what does it matter if you make it convenient for us to stay here for one night, we will not cause you trouble." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward, took out a few golden melon seeds, and put them in this person's hand, these golden melon seeds are regarded as accommodation expenses, for a watchman, this is a lot of money, I believe this person should let them stay.

Who knows, this person glanced at the golden melon seeds, and without blinking his eyelids, he stuffed the golden melon seeds back to Li Rizhi, and said with a very serious expression: "You have to go out, go out quickly, otherwise I will let the dog bite people!" ”

Li Rizhi was a little surprised, this beater has a lot of appetite, he can't even look down on golden melon seeds, could it be that he wants gold ingots!

At this time, Cheng Zizi in the back walked over, he was holding a small string of copper coins in his hand, about more than 100 yuan, and he checked it in his hand, deliberately making the copper coins make a clanging sound.

Cheng Zizi smiled at this person and said: "Hey, this brother, if you make it convenient for us, then this string of money is yours, how about it, it's interesting enough, this string of money is at least more than 100 yuan!" ”

The man looked at the small string of copper coins, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "You must give me the money first, or you will run away tomorrow morning, and I will ask for money!" ”

Cheng Zizi said: "Okay, then give you money first, what do you call your brother?" So saying, he threw the little string of copper coins to the man.

After the man took the copper coin, he smiled and hurriedly put the money into his arms.

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "Hurry up, this person doesn't know the golden melon seeds, he only knows the copper coins." ”

The man said: "My surname is Wang, you can just call me Wang Dahao, this is what I call it!" ”

While speaking, Wang Dahao pointed to a small house on the side of the road and said: "You live here, the place is big enough for you people to live, but you can't cook on the fire in the house, you can eat dry food if you have dry food, and you can last one night without dry food, and then eat a good meal after entering the city tomorrow!" ”

Li Rizhi asked Chen Yingying and them to go to the house first, but he pulled Wang Dahao aside and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, let's make it convenient again, we have to eat some hot food after a day's journey, and we have to raise the fire to cook, you are afraid of fire, let's be careful!" ”

Wang Dahao shook his head and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of fire, there are so many lanterns lit in this village, how can it be that I'm afraid of fire, let me tell you, the houses here are all built of bricks and stones, and each house has a distance, just don't be afraid of fire, I don't let you cook because of this, it's because I'm afraid of soiling the walls." ”

Li Rizhiqi said: "I'm afraid that I will stain the wall, and then I won't cook on the fire?" This is the first time I've heard of this, and if there is any reason for it, Brother Wang might as well tell us about it. ”

This time, he took out a small string of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into Wang Dahao's hand, Wang Dahao's eyes lit up, his face was happy, and he hurriedly stuffed the money into his arms.

Wang Dahao said: "Do you know why there is such a newly built village here?" There wasn't that here before! ”

Li Rizhi shook his head, waiting for Wang Dahao to ask and answer himself.

Sure enough, Wang Dahao said proudly: "Because this village was built to take the driver, do you know whose driver you want to take?" ”

Of course Li Rizhi knew, but he still shook his head, with an expression of curiosity on his face.

Wang Dahao sold a pass, and then said: "Of course it is to take the emperor and the queen's mother's drive, this village is built for them to live, what do you think, what is the identity of the emperor and the queen's mother, how can they live in the old house, of course they have to build a new one, I have heard others say, this is a small palace, the palace, understand no, you can live here, it is really a great creation!" ”

Li Rizhi thought to himself: "What kind of palace is this, it's just a place to rest, the magistrate here is really good at stammering, and in order to please the emperor and empress, he actually built a new village." ”

He smiled and said: "Brother Wang can play a shift here, then he is also a person of creation!" ”

Wang Dahao nodded solemnly, expressing his agreement with this statement, and said: "Our road here is not easy to walk, the county commander launched the new road built by the people, and when the emperor and the queen mother come, find some children from rich families to come and serve, and it is definitely their creation to serve the emperor and the queen, and it is simply so that the ancestral tomb is smoking!" ”

This strange village is a place for the emperor and empress to rest, so it will not be inhabited, and after understanding this, Li Rizhi lost interest and wanted to go back to rest.

But just when Li Rizhi was about to enter the house, he heard Wang Dahao muttering again.

Wang Dahao said: "This time, the county commander scraped the ground three feet and collected so much money, which is enough to build dozens of such villages, but in fact, only such a building is built, how much money he has to fall into his pocket, it is estimated that the ancestral graves of his eighteenth generations of ancestors are smoking together, so as to make such a big creation!" ”

Li Rizhi paused, and said secretly in his heart: "The county order has collected money, and it has collected a lot, isn't this just collecting money under the guise of taking over the driver, I really didn't expect that after walking all the way, I finally arrived here, only to find a corrupt official!" ”

He turned around and said, "Did the county order collect a lot of money, and he raised taxes?" ”

Wang Dahao shook his head and said: "No, there is neither a tax increase nor an increase in endowments, the county commander just sold the opportunity to see the emperor and the queen's mother, sold it to the rich families in the county, and a lot of jewelry and other good things offered by the rich families, he kept them, just waiting for the emperor to come, he sent them to the emperor, so that the emperor was also happy!" ”

Li Rizhi sighed softly, it seems that the county magistrate of Bocheng County is very smart, and he can even take advantage of this kind of opportunity, it seems that he is a talent, but it is a pity that his intelligence is not used in the right place!
