Shangzhou is really not big, and it is still poor. There is only one main road in the north and south of a county, and this road is still a dirt road, and it is muddy and not cut. Because of the soldiers and horses, the city was deserted, and occasionally a few eyes lying on the crack of the door or looking out of the window disappeared immediately after being looked at by the fierce and vicious soldiers.

Governor Shang is really thin, but he is not tall, half a head shorter than Li Kang. Since the opening of the city, the governor of Shangzhou has made amends to Su Ren one by one, first saying that his place is dilapidated, and it is inconvenient to greet Su Zhonglang, and then Shangzhou is located in a remote area, and the mountain bandits are rampant and have to be careful, and finally told Su Ren to spare him and his whole family.

Su Ren looks down on such a guy the most, not to mention that he is still a broken mouth, and walking side by side with Su Ren is the same as this fly next to his ears, which is annoying.

"Stop!" Su Ren's face sank: "Don't gossip, just ask where your inn, wine store, grain and rice store and water well are, and if you say one more word, I will kill you now!" ”

Governor Shang immediately took two steps back: "Zhonglang is angry, let's find someone to take Zhonglang there, I don't know if Zhonglang will go to the inn or the wine store first, or the grain and rice store and the well?" The best inn in the city is Yongsheng, the best wine shop is in front, there is one at the corner of the street where the grain and rice store has just come, to say that the well is naturally the best in Sweet Water Lane, the well there is ten zhang deep, the taste is sweet, refreshing and refreshing, the water of the county is taken from there, but there is a shortcoming......"

Chief Su Ren let out a sigh and glared at Governor Shang: "Send someone to take my people there, you can go!" ”

As a small county in Shangzhou, since Su Zhonglang came, he had to fulfill the landlord's intentions, it was better for Su Zhonglang to go to the subordinate government later, and then ordered people to prepare a banquet, stay for three or five days and then leave, and then he will be able to prepare what Su Zhonglang needs, and personally send Su Zhonglang and several generals out of the county! I don't know ......."

"Get out!" Su Ren drew his long sword and aimed it at Governor Shang's throat: "Get out of here now, try to say one more word!" ”

Governor Shang was taken aback, he didn't know where he had offended this fierce god, but this person seemed to be polite, why did he still kill people?

"Su ......!"

Without waiting for Governor Shang's words to come out, Gongsun He grabbed it over, and Su Ren's long sword stabbed against Governor Shang's cheek. Gongsun He smiled: "Look, this son saved your life, let you stop talking, don't say a word." ”

Governor Shang was really frightened, his face turned green, if it wasn't for Gongsun He, most of them would have knelt in front of Su Ren.

"Alright, let's get to work! Our Su Zhonglang is not easy to mess with, just killing you like this is a matter of finezing, do you know that Su Zhonglang is the biggest businessman in the world? Copper coins are nothing to him, so you die in vain! ”

Governor Shang hurriedly thanked him: "In ......" suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Looking at the thin back of Governor Shang running away, Li Danghu frowned: "How can you say that he is also a court official, you really want to kill!" Do you know what the crime of killing a court official is? ”

"Gongsun Gongzi said that he was only fined copper!"

"Humph! You should really take a good look at "The Law of the Great Han". ”

"Isn't it?"

Gongsun He smiled: "According to the law of the Han Dynasty, if you kill an official of the imperial court without permission, anyone who is less than 600 stones, the civilians will be executed to destroy the three clans, and the scholar will be exiled for life!" If the stone is less than 2,000 stones, the civilians will be executed and the three clans will be killed, and the scholars will die! Ten thousand stones, civilians execute and destroy the three tribes, and scholars kill and destroy the three tribes! In other words, if you really kill that guy just now, you will at least be an exile! ”

"Oh! Where did the exile go? Saiwai or Lingnan? ”

"Ugh!" Gongsun He suddenly laughed: "Yes, you kid is really not afraid, he came from Shu County, went to Yelang and Qiangdi, and now he has walked around Lingnan again, and it is almost the same as exile!" ”

A few people talked and laughed, and trekked through the streets of Shangzhou City with difficulty. The people left by Governor Shang led the way in front, and after listening to the words of the people behind, they were even more deferential, and they didn't dare to say a single superfluous word when they were careful. According to the requirements of Su Ren and others, they led a few people to the so-called Yongsheng Gate, the best inn in Shangzhou, and hurriedly stepped forward to call the door.

The so-called best inn in Shangzhou City is only a little more complete than others, and it is only a little bit. The mottled courtyard walls, dilapidated houses, and the smell of fishy smells penetrated into the nose one by one, making Gongsun He frown: "This is the best inn?" ”

The county official nodded hurriedly, and carefully accompanied the smiling face: "This county is poor, and the roofs of the subordinate government are leaking, and that's the only way!" ”

After a lot of effort, the door of the inn opened a crack, revealing an equally thin head, and when he saw the county officer, the door was opened.

The county official straightened his waist: "Listen, these are all Shangguan from Chang'an, set aside the best room in your store, if you dare to slack off, be careful of your dog's head!" ”

The shopkeeper was submissive, but he didn't rush to let Su Ren and the others in, and smirked at the county officials flatteringly. The county official frowned, and turned his head helplessly to salute: "Everyone, the villain has many words, this county is poor, and these hundreds of soldiers are afraid ......."

How could Su Ren not understand what these two people meant, and said coldly: "Don't worry, the store money will not be less!" ”

The county official immediately smiled, first saluted Su Ren, and then turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Hear clearly?" Still not welcoming guests? ”

It really didn't stop, according to Gongsun He, it was better to go out of the city and camp. This small shop is not only small, but also broken, as soon as the door opens, the smell comes to the nose, a few mice hurriedly dodge, I don't know how long it has not been occupied, and the cobwebs in the corner of the wall are stacked on top of each other.

The shopkeeper was polite, kept explaining, and when everyone walked in, he had no intention of leaving. Su Ren gave Huang 13 a look, and Huang 13 took out a bag of copper coins from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper weighed it twice in his hand, and smiled: "Ladies and gentlemen, this ......"

Huang Shisanyi glared: "What, too little?" That's five hundred dollars! ”

Su Ren is really in a bad mood now, and he really doesn't want to deal with such a villain, so he waved his hand and motioned for Huang Shisan to give him more. Huang 13 took out another money bag, about a hundred coins, and threw it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper weighed it twice, but still didn't leave.

Just when Su Ren was about to break out, Shi Bao, who was sent to buy rice grain, came back. As soon as he entered the door, Shi Bao sat on the ground and sulked.

"What's wrong? What about rice? ”

Shi Bao pointed out the door: "It's all there!" ”

Gongsun He turned his head and glanced at it, there were three cloth bags at the door, and they were not yet full: "That's it?" This little bit of rice is not enough to eat! ”

Shi Bao snorted coldly: "Do you know the price of grain and rice in this place?" Five hundred dollars for one stone of grain and rice! This is the most expensive grain and rice I have ever seen, even border counties like Shu County and Huiji are not so expensive! ”

"Five hundred? Crazy, right? ”

Su Ren couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper, glared at his eyes and said viciously: "Say, who made you do this?" Dare to talk nonsense, I'll kill you now! ”

The shopkeeper trembled with fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Shangguan spares his life, the villain says, all of them say!" Yesterday at noon, someone gave the villain 50 yuan, saying that if anyone stays in the hotel today, he will get the worst room, and ......, and he will charge a hundred times the store money! ”

"Who is it?"

The shopkeeper's head shook like a rattle: "The villain doesn't know, I really don't know, not only the villain, but all the shops in the city have gone, and the villain guesses that the person should have told them all." ”

Wei Qing asked, "What does the person look like?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it, and immediately said: "It's a short man, with a fierce face, by the way, there is a tiger head tattooed on his left hand, and the accent seems to come from Chang'an. Everyone, the officials are angry, the villain will tidy up the room, please rest a few people! ”

Su Ren let go of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper ran away, staggering and almost falling into the courtyard.

The set of things that the body is exposed to and the parents of the skin has not yet become popular in the Han Dynasty, and Confucianism has not yet occupied the hearts of the people. In line with the instinct of totem worship, tattoos are not an uncommon thing in Dahan, but there are not many tattoos on tiger heads. The earliest tribes were divided into three main schools, Dongyi, Huaxia, and Miaoman, the totem of Dongyi was honored by the phoenix, the Huaxia people believed in dragons and snakes, and the Miaoman was more mixed, and the most important one was not a tiger.

Totem worship originated very early, Xuanyuan is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the tribe of Emperor Xuanyuan called it a bear, and they worshipped the bear totem. In the Xia Dynasty, the image of the dragon appeared. The ancestors of Qin originated in the east, so the totem of the Qin Dynasty was also a bird. And the Han Dynasty worshipped the green dragon, one of the four spirit animals, which can be proved from the green dragon graphics that can be seen everywhere in the palace of the Han Dynasty. In ancient times, the tiger was regarded as a vicious beast, and few tribes or ethnic groups worshipped it, let alone tattooed it on its body.

Li Danghu frowned: "Tattooed tiger head? There don't seem to be many people like that! ”

Gongsun He also put away his playfulness: "Yes, my Han respects the green dragon, and the Huns tattoo the wolf, and I have never seen anyone tattoo the tiger." ”

Hawking said: "In this case, I will now take people to control the four gates and send people to search, as long as he is still in the city, he will not be able to escape!" ”

Wei Qing hurriedly stopped: "No! Let's just pass by, if we act so recklessly, it will make Your Majesty embarrassed, and now Chang'an doesn't know what it looks like, so it's better not to cause trouble for Your Majesty at this time. ”

"But, you can't just let that guy go so easily, can you?"

Su Ren didn't speak, bowing his head and thinking about things. Everyone had no idea, and they stared at Su Ren one by one. After a long time, Su Ren said: "If you want to say that you have a tiger head tattooed on your arm, I have seen a person." ”

"Oh? Who? ”

Su Ren continued to take care of himself: "I didn't expect it to be this person, this guy is bold enough, and he still doesn't give up!" ”

"Who the hell is it, tell me quickly!"

Su Ren glanced at a few people: "Guo Jie!" ”
