It is a huge capital with a population of more than one million. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, there are more than just two markets, East and West.

But there is no doubt that these two cities are the largest bazaars in Shenjing City.

Countless time-honored shops are concentrated in the two cities.

The pursuit of a famous brand effect is by no means a habit only for the people of later generations.

There are also livestock markets such as cattle and sheep markets and horse markets that are set up in a unified and centralized manner, as well as various vegetable markets and even human markets......

Three teachings and nine streams, all-encompassing.

There are also many food stalls, women's rouge gouache, silk and satin and other shops, and so on.

In short, as long as there is a need, as long as there is silver, as long as you walk into the two cities, there is nothing that cannot be bought.

This kind of prosperity and prosperity can only be found in the majestic god Kyoto.

Although yesterday the two cities went through a "catastrophe" and were wantonly blackmailed by countless "officials" dressed in the clothes of military dogs.

But in just one night, the two cities returned to their former prosperity.

In fact, the main reason is that those "dog officials" will only bully the weak and fear the hard, collect all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and only dare to collect them from small households, especially the stalls on both sides of the street.

Those time-honored brands, even those merchants with slightly more luxurious faces, they don't dare to come to the door easily.

As old oilers, they remember the background behind these businesses.

Those who are officials have amulets that they need to carry when they are officials, and those who are on errands also have amulets that they need to carry when they are on errands.

No matter which one you do, if you commit a taboo, you have to walk around without eating.

It's just that it has suffered the people at the bottom......

"Let's go! Let's get it! ”

At the entrance of the lively but calm and orderly West Market, there was a commotion again, just like yesterday.

There are no shops, and there are only small stalls on both sides of the street to make a living.

Yesterday, the silver wealth they were looted away was almost more than a month's income.

You must know that these silver treasures originally included various booth fees to be paid, as well as various other miscellaneous taxes.

But all of them were taken away by those remnants of the army under various names, either "begging" or "borrowing".

But they still have to pay taxes, otherwise they can't continue to set up stalls here.

Therefore, this month, and even these months, they have to work in vain, and even have to operate at a loss.

If, come again today.

They will never be able to take it again!

An elderly couple who run a candy man stall looked at the soldiers and horses who were wielding sticks to drive away the vendors at the entrance of the archway of the West Market, and their hands trembled.

In the two pairs of cloudy old eyes, tears of despair flowed together.

They had worked hard for several months, and the ten taels of silver they had accumulated were looted by the remnants of the army last night.

After the two old men shed tears for a night, they have to work hard again.

They believe that as long as they do their duty honestly, they can always survive.

Although there is a paralyzed son who is sick in bed, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson and passed away, leaving only a grandson waiting to be fed.

But the grandson is very sensible when he grows up, and he can already help them take care of their son who is paralyzed and unable to move......

The two old men just hope that after running this sugar man stall well, raising their grandchildren, and earning money to support the family, and taking care of his paralyzed father, the two old men will be able to die with peace of mind......

But I didn't expect that yesterday's incident would happen again.

If they are robbed again today, their whole family will starve to death!

"Alas......"

A burst of sighs came from the mouths of the street vendors, all of whom looked ugly.

Then if there is suffering in the old people's family, how can they be better?

However, in some shops with facades, the men and shopkeepers were idle, standing at the door and watching the excitement.

They are desperate to coax away these small merchants and vendors crowded on the roadside, and they don't even have a storefront. Poor sour ......

There are also many people who visit the market and can't help frowning when they see this scene.

I scolded angrily in my heart: This group of mad dogs dressed in dog skins will not die well!

There are also well-informed people, knowing that it is Ningguo Marquis Jia Huan who wants to take over the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so he has this one.

thought that he was going crazy to accumulate money as soon as he took the position, and he spit on him in his heart!

However, just when everyone could not bear to witness the darkest scene in the world, the situation suddenly changed.

There were hundreds of people, tied up by ropes, one after another, and were held under the archway of the West Market.

Then he was pushed to the ground!

Immediately afterwards, the officials and dogs in official uniforms who had used sticks to drive the crowd away before stood behind the fallen man.

Then several carriages came, each with a large box on it.

The carriage was driven to the entrance of the archway in the west market, and then several pro-soldiers dressed in full clothes jumped on the carriage and opened the mouth of the box.

"Wow!"

The crowd in the West Market, who were originally watching the changes and being confused, suddenly let out an uproar!

God!

It was a box full of silver and sparkling silver!

At this time, a young man who looked a little bohemian and ruffian jumped on a big stone lion under the entrance of the Xishi archway, containing the voice of internal strength, and said loudly to the vendors who were cowering and looking at them, as well as the "melon-eating masses" who were full of people who were gathered in twenty steps to open to watch the excitement: "Listen, this general's name is Han San, from today on, it is the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, the commander of the Xicheng Battalion!"

Yesterday, the rest of the general's subordinates deceived their superiors and committed misdeeds, and even committed extortion and even robbery, losing the face of the soldiers and horses of the five cities.

After learning about it today, Ben General didn't dare to hide it, so he reported the matter to the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, Jia Huan, Marquis of Ningguo!

When Ning Hou heard this, he was extremely angry!

He thought that these eight thieves really fucking looked down on people!

Could it be that his dignified Ning Guohou's eyelids are so shallow?

made such a big move, just to collect the ten taels of silver?

It's not enough for a day's meat money for the tigers he raises!

In order to punish this group of bastards for looking down on him, Ning Hou decided to give this group of bastards a military law to let them know that they would dare to underestimate the fate of the Jia family's wealth in the future!

Come on, hit Ben General! ”

When they heard this, they immediately brandished their military sticks and happily beat the "losers" on the ground, and these people cried wolf howls.

This scene made the small traders inside really relieved!

Of course, their attention was more focused on those carriages.

After "crackling" dozens of sticks, Han San looked at the ground and groaned in pain. The soldiers who chanted scolded and scolded: "Where is the prestige of blackmailing the people yesterday for the shameful things?

It's just like the girls now! ”

"Hahaha!"

When the onlookers heard this, they burst into laughter!

There are also coaxing!

However, after being glanced around by Han San, it was suddenly quiet again......

Han San turned his head again and said to the chirping soldiers: "In the future, whoever dares to call after being subjected to military law will be beaten again!" Beat until you can't chirp!

It's all fucking faults! Who do I see humming again? ”

As soon as these words came out, the group of military remnants who had been beaten and their butts bloomed immediately shut up.

Han San snorted in satisfaction, then turned around and said in a loud voice, "Do you see those boxes of silver?" It's the silver that was extorted by this group of bastards from the West Market yesterday.

Look at it, it's all broken silver!

Ning Hou said, this kind of broken silver, he rewarded everyone coldly, too lazy to ask for it, and he will return it to you from door to door today! ”

"Huh?!"

What a joy from the sky!

Those small traders who were blackmailed miserably yesterday don't know what to do when they hear it!

They only make a "ahhhh

And that's not all......

Han San said again: "Also, from today onwards, those small stalls and small booths, the security money of five hundred copper coins handed over every month, will be cancelled!"

Our Hou Ye said, you are all poor and sour, and a copper plate is bigger than the moon.

Forget it, why bother to be cursed by you secretly 10,000 times a month for a few hundred dollars!

Besides, in the future, if any soldier is so unambitious to extort ten taels of silver from you, you just have to go to the soldiers and horses to sue.

Hou Ye will personally bury the embarrassing thing with silver! ”

"Hahahaha!"

That's too cola!

Not to mention the "melon-eating audience" who are watching, even those vendors are crazy one by one!

Sure enough, he is the most rich and noble Hou Ye, although he looks down on people, but they really like it!

Looking at the young man who was not far outside, riding on a horse, and didn't even want to enter the gate of the West Market, lest he would dirty his noble feet, wearing a purple and gold crown, wearing a bullfighting suit, and his nostrils facing the sky, everyone not only did not feel disgusted, but felt happy in their hearts!

Think about it, if anyone helps them avenge being oppressed and exempts them from 500 wen in taxes, they will like everyone!

As for the reason, the devil cares!

In these years, is there anything more exciting for the people than real money?

Five hundred dollars is only the monthly money of a second-class person in the house of a powerful person,

But in the homes of ordinary people, that is, more than half a month's rice and grain money, you can tear a few feet of cloth for your wife and children, make a new clothes, or cut a few catties of meat to go home, and the whole family will fight tooth sacrifices together to improve their lives.

Either way, the whole family can live a happy life together for days.

That's enough!

Although the high-ranking and wealthy young man Hou Ye just looked down on this bit of money.

However, when hundreds of soldiers pulled the carriage and returned the money from stall to stall, the vendors who trembled their hands and had only seen the money back once in their lives were still inexplicably grateful.

When the pair of old men who sold candy took the ten taels of silver that belonged to them, no, they wanted one more, and they were not allowed, the old man who had penetrated the world all his life could not say anything, but suddenly seemed to understand something......

The two old men fell to the ground crying silently, kowtowed to the tall young man outside the archway of the West Market, and shouted: "May the Hou Ye Hou Wandai!" ”

The two old men got up, and the other merchants who also received the silver, followed suit, and knelt on the ground, shouting outside: "May the prince Hou Wandai!" ”

"May the Hou Ye Hou Wan Dai!"

"O Marquis Bandai!"
