This time he went south to Lin'andu, Jiang Yun planned to travel to Dongyang County by land first, and then Dongyang County reached Huai'an County through the official road, and then reached Lin'an County by water, so that he should be able to reach Lin'an Capital within three months, and the remaining three months can be made to make preparations, after all, the White Deer Academy can only apply for the exam once in his life, if he can't get it, then he can't re-enter for the rest of his life.

After more than ten days of riding a horse, Jiang Yun finally arrived at Dongyang County, and the Jiancheng in front of him was Xiyuan City, the capital of Dongyang County. Except for some people in Xiyuan City, Bai Ding like Jiang Yun, who has no fame, is not allowed to ride a horse in the city, so Jiang Yun can only store his horse at a post station outside the city and slowly walk towards Xiyuan City.

Xiyuan City is three zhang high, there are moats around five zhang wide, there are eight gates, what Jiang Yun sees in front of him is the east gate of Xiyuan City. In front of the east gate, there are more than a dozen rejected horses, and there are soldiers to check the passers-by.

Jiang Yun ran all the way, and as soon as Fang approached the city, he was stopped by the guards. The gatekeeper looked at him, then stared at Jiang Yun and asked, "Is there a book?" ”

Due to the continuous war, Dayan has produced a large number of displaced people, and in order to ensure the stability of various places, it is ordered to restrict the movement between places. The movement within the county is not greatly affected, but if you want to go out of the county to other places, you must have a book. The certificate contains a variety of certificates, mainly for the passage and the identity certificate, if you want to go to another place without the certificate, you will be fined at least and be assigned to forced labor.

Jiang Yun took out the book, and after the soldier carefully checked it, he returned the book to Jiang Yun, but he did not let it go.

"Thirty cents for tolls."

Jiang Yun smiled and took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, "If there is more, I will pay for the wine of the military masters."

The soldier secretly said that this person was on the road, silently collected the broken silver, and a smile appeared on his face, "Very good! ”

The soldiers let them go, and Jiang Yun asked one of the soldiers, "Do you know where there is an inn in the city?" ”

"The inns in the city are all on the left side of the city, and recently because of the preparation for the five-year examination of Bailu Academy, there are more people in the inn."

Jiang Yun thanked the soldier, and the soldier thought for a while, "But don't go to the right side, it's not a good place, it's a place where some homeless thieves and thieves hang out." ”

When Jiang Yun heard this, he had a little doubt about this place, there was such a big difference between the left and right sides in the capital of Dongyang County? Shaking his head and no longer thinking about it, Jiang Yun walked along the road to an inn, called Aries Inn, the shopkeeper was a fat man, glanced at Jiang Yun, and felt that this person was wearing coarse cotton clothes, looking dusty, not like a person who lived in an inn, so he frowned, and asked Jiang Yun a little impatiently what was going on

"Do you still have a house?"

"Yes, yes. . But that's the price."

Jiang Yun took out five taels of silver from his bosom and gently pressed it on the countertop of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's expression changed rapidly, and he smiled, "Take this son to the fifth room of Tianzi!" ”

After bathing and washing, Jiang Yun felt that he was much more energetic. I couldn't help but think of what the soldier said, the right side of Xiyuan City.

Seeing Jiang Yun walking down, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly smiled, "Childe needs wine and food?" The mutton I have here is the best in the whole Xiyuan City! ”

Jiang Yun waved his hand, "Shopkeeper, I want to ask about the right side of the city." ”

The fat shopkeeper looked suspicious, leaned over and whispered, "Childe, it's not me who is sensational, this... You can't go to the right side! ”

"The right side of the city is a place near the right corner of the city gate, and usually the right gate is not open, so many people will live nearby, such as the homeless. In addition, there are some thieves, prostitutes, etc. who also live there. If these people appeared in other places, it would not be good for this Xiyuan City, so they acquiesced. ”

The fat shopkeeper glanced at Jiang Yun, "If you really want to go, go straight along the inland river and turn right to see it." ”

The inland river of Xiyuan City, runs through the various parts of Xiyuan City, Jiangyun walks along the inland river of Xiyuan City, among which there are large and small boats, many scholars, they chant poems here, not far away there are more green buildings along the coast, under the door of the green building is an endless stream of people, a prosperous and prosperous scene.

Walking slowly along the banks of the Xiyuan River, in addition to the scholars who chanted poems against each other and were merry, there were also street vendors shouting for their livelihood along the way, or people who were hurrying along the way, most of them were dressed in rough clothes with patches on their clothes.

Jiang Yun looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart seemed to be depressed, and it was difficult to relax.

Unconsciously, Jiang Yun walked to the right side of the fat shopkeeper's mouth. I saw the so-called left side of the Xiyuan River, that is, where I was, and there was only a bridge across the right side, and the left and right sides of the bridge were guarded by sergeants. As far as the eye can see, the houses on the right side of Xiyuan City are all low and flat, most of the tiles are uneven, and occasionally people come out, they are also in rags, they glanced at the opposite bank enviously, and turned to leave.

Jiang Yun was about to walk forward, but he only heard a commotion on his left, turned his head to look, and saw that about twenty steps away from him, there were many people gathered, densely encircled.

"It's so pitiful..."

"yes.. I can't imagine that the Mo family has fallen to this point today. ”

The people around you said word by word, Jiang Yun gathered money and took a look, only to see a young man in tattered clothes and a gray face kneeling there, with some words engraved on the ground in front of him.

"Now the eldest brother is unfortunately dead, the rest of the poverty and suffering are buried, sell himself to seek a good man to bury the eldest brother, and the rest of the wish is to be a slave and a horse! Mo Yi Nianli"

Mo Yinian knelt on his knees, his eyes were full of determination, but more of them were covered by grief and sorrow.

"Hahaha! Your Mo family also has this day! The sound of horses' hooves rushed out, a young man in a fancy costume galloped on a horse, onlookers got out of the way, and some people even exclaimed, "Isn't that the son of Taishou?" Let's get out of the way! ”

The young man in Chinese clothes seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's reaction, he rode on a tall horse, looked down at Mo Yinian, and there was disdain in his tone, "The second son of the dignified Mo family, selling his body to bury his brother today, ridiculous!" The people behind the young man in Chinese clothes laughed, "Oh no... There's no Mo family anymore, isn't it? ”

Mo Yinian's eyes were red, staring at the young man in Chinese clothes, biting his lip and not saying a word.

"What a poor dog." The young man in Chinese costume looked regretful, "But I, Fan Yang, am a great benevolent person, and I like to help others the most on weekdays." ”

Fan Yang turned over and dismounted, made a gesture, and a person behind him immediately handed over ten taels of silver. Fan Yang played with the silver ingot, and his eyes revealed a ruthlessness, "Here is ten taels of silver, enough for your eldest brother to be buried five or six times!" ”

"You!" Mo Yinian clenched his fists, he really wanted to rush forward, but the Mo family was defeated, he was penniless, if he waited any longer, the body of the eldest brother would not be able to enter the ground safely. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and couldn't move.

"Humph! What are you still arrogant about? I, Fan Yang, gave an order, this Xiyuan City, except for me, whoever dares to help you can't get along with me, that is, you can't get along with this Xiyuan City! ”

With that, Fan Yang glanced around, and everyone took a step back.

Fan Yang looked at Mo Yinian, and a person behind him suddenly came up, "Young master, I have thought of a way, isn't the Mo family boasting of solar terms?" We can do this.." The man whispered a few words in Fan Yang's ear, and Fan Yang's eyes lit up.

"Very good, go back to Steward Zhao to receive the reward!"

"Yes!"

Fan Yang smiled evilly, played with the ingot of silver, and threw the silver in front of Mo Yinian.

"Take it and it's yours!"

Mo Yinian looked at Fan Yang, feeling sad and indignant in his heart. I looked at the ingot of silver again, and my heart was full of mixed feelings.

"My Mo family has fallen to such a point... Father, children are not filial..."

After a long time, Mo Yinian gritted his teeth and leaned over to pick up the ten taels of silver.

The next moment, I saw that Fan Yang was actually standing on top of the ingot of silver, and the silver happened to be under his crotch!

Fan Yang smiled contemptuously, "Aren't you going to bury your eldest brother?" ”

Mo Yinian's movements stopped, his body trembled, his hands clenched and opened, and then clenched again, shocked and uncertain.

Tears poured out of his eyes, wetting his face and dripping silently to the ground.

The onlookers all sighed, and some of them even hid their faces and did not dare to look closely.

"Big brother... After you are buried... Brother Yu, you should decide on your own." Mo Yinian couldn't stop crying, his lips were bitten and bleeding, blood was dripping, but his body slowly crawled towards the ingot of silver.

Fan Yang laughed proudly, and the people behind him laughed one after another, unscrupulously.

"Wait!" Jiang Yun stepped forward slowly, took out ten taels of silver from his arms, and said one word at a time, sonorous and powerful. "I'm out of these ten taels of silver!"
