It is the dividing line between Nanyang County and Runan County.

Separated by a mountain range and connected by a stream of water, Nanyang County and Runan County are skillfully integrated, and at the same time, they read each other.

Even if the two sides clashed, the connection between Nanyang County and Runan County was never severed.

However, they are connected in another way, and that is by doing business. Langling is the transit station of Runan and Nanyang County, merchants from south to north, through Langling to transport the goods of Runan to Nanyang County, and through Langling County, the special products of Nanyang County are transported to Runan, and then the business is the world.

Therefore, both Cao Ying and Liu Biao deliberately maintained the smooth flow of this trade route.

Dian Wei, as Cao Ying's guard, although he is not responsible for any government affairs, he often learns about the situation outside from Cao Ying's mouth.

Langling, can't be blocked!

This is the rule that Cao Ying set at the beginning of his reign in Yuzhou.

But looking at the checkpoints on this road, Dian Wei knew that Cao Ying's rules had been broken!

"A person costs ten dollars, and a truckload of goods costs five dollars...... After all, what else is there to make money? ”

A vendor muttered and walked by, and Dian Wei couldn't help frowning.

Cao Peng hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the vendor, "This elder, dare to ask what you just said about ten dollars for a person and five yuan for a truckload of goods, what is going on?" ”

The vendor was stunned at first, and saw that Cao Peng was dressed as an ordinary person, so he looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he said softly: "This prince seems to be coming here for the first time, this is the rule set by the new Lang Ling Chief, and it is said to be a toll tax." Ten days ago, this checkpoint was set up, and pedestrians and vehicles passing by must pay taxes before they can pass through here. A person needs ten dollars, and a car needs five taxes to pay five dollars. If you don't pay this money, you won't be able to pass through here, and if you don't get it, you will have your goods impounded.

The newcomer, Lang Lingchang, said that although the war has subsided today, bandits are raging.

If the county government wants to suppress bandits, it must pay sufficient food and money. But the county government has no money now, so they put the idea on our heads...... I won't tell you, if someone hears it, it will be a lot of trouble. This son, take care. ”

The vendors left in a hurry!

Cao Peng couldn't help laughing: This Lang Ling Chang is also from the crowd? actually knows how to set up a card to collect money, a typical road rage...... And it's also officially supported.

He turned his head and glanced at Dian Wei.

But seeing Dian Wei's face, it was extremely ugly.

"Uncle Dian, it's just some clowns, why are you angry? Cao Gong strategized, but he couldn't do everything himself. This must be done by Xiaoxiao, when the time comes to return to Xudu, you tell Cao Gong about the situation here, and Cao Gong will definitely deal with it properly. ”

Dian Wei felt very embarrassed and annoyed at the same time.

Along the way, he praised Cao Ying like a flower, as if everyone could live and work in peace and contentment under Cao Gong's rule, and the officials were also conscientious. But the scene in front of me is a naked slap in the face! This made Dian Wei feel that his previous words had become a laughing stock.

"This Lang Lingchang, damn it!"

"A rat poop can spoil a pot of soup. If my uncle is angry about this kind of thing, then it won't be worth it! Cao Peng smiled and said, "By the way, didn't you say that you wanted to invite my father to drink authentic Langling wine?" Hehe, the little nephew is still waiting for your uncle to come and treat you. ”

"Hmmm......"

Dian Wei snorted heavily and nodded.

So the group continued on the road, and with the crowd on the main road, slowly walked to the checkpoint in the center of the road.

In front of the level, there was a cry.

I saw two servants push a man who looked like a merchant to the ground and forcibly pull his goods to the side. The merchant pleaded bitterly, but the servant turned a deaf ear. One of the servants raised his foot, kicked the merchant to the ground, and scolded viciously: "You old man, you don't know anything. It is a matter of course to pay taxes on the road...... My lord is not embarrassed by you, if you want to pass, you will pay taxes, if not, the goods will be deducted from taxes. Let me tell you, even if you cry through the sky, you can't change it, this is Cao Gong's order, who dares to disobey? ”

"But...... My money is all staked on this goods, and you have snatched the goods, how can my family live? ”

"How do you live?"

At the checkpoint, a man who looked like an officer shouted, "Why didn't you drive him away?" This delayed the matter, be careful to become the old man to ask for the guilt. ”

The voice sounded a little high-pitched, and Cao Peng squinted his eyes, feeling that this person was a little familiar.

But for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen each other, so he had to frown and walk forward with Dian Wei.

"Wu Na black guy, don't you get off the horse immediately?"

An errand officer stepped forward to stop Dian Wei and wanted to scold, but looking at Dian Wei's appearance, when the dirty words came to his mouth, he swallowed it back.

Dian Wei's eyes widened, and he roared sharply: "Lao Tzu walks well, you guy, why are you blocking the road?" ”

The messenger was frightened by Dian Wei's roar, and the spirit was chilled......

"I, I'm ......" He suddenly straightened his chest and plucked up the courage to say: "My lord is famous, that is, from now on, all those who pass from Langling must pay the toll tax. Ten dollars for a person, fifty dollars for a horse, and five dollars for a car. Whoever dares to disobey is a rebellion, and it is a capital crime of raiding the house and destroying the door...... Nineteen men, twenty horses, and one cart...... It adds up to a total of six and one hundred and ninety dollars. In addition, if you carry weapons, you need to pay the peace tax, which is a whole number, a total of seven times. ”

"Ping An tax?"

The officer stiffened his neck and shouted, "It's the peace tax!" You see you're all armed, and if you have a conflict with someone in the city, we're going to be responsible for maintaining it...... Why, isn't the life of a gentleman worth eight hundred dollars? Don't talk nonsense, pay the money! ”

Dian Wei laughed angrily, "I'll give you an ancestor!" ”

The whip was raised, and it snapped in the face of the officer.

How much strength does Dian Wei have?

The whip was furious again, and with one lash it went down, and the errand was beaten to the point that the flesh was broken.

"Beat people, rebelled ......"

The officer covered his face, screaming and howling.

A group of errand hula rushed out from the back of the checkpoint, led by a man who was thin and tall, with triangular eyes, a goatee, and slightly yellowish eyes.

"Which one has eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard, and dares to make trouble here!"

The goatee was dressed in black and scolded sharply.

At this time, Cao Peng's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

"Your surname is Cheng?"

The goatee was straightened, his triangular eyes were staring, and he looked at Cao Peng, "That's right, I'm surnamed Cheng, which one are you?" ”

Cao Peng suddenly laughed......

I saw him knock the horse's belly with both feet, and the war horse Xi Yu under his crotch let out a long neigh, and his long body rushed out, and he arrived in front of the goatee in the blink of an eye.

"The villain who works for the tiger, do you remember your master?"

Goatee was a little confused, "You little bastard, bluffing Lao Tzu?" ”

Cao Peng didn't laugh angrily, "Brother Tiger Head, why don't you come to meet our three elders?" I think that at the beginning, you were embarrassed with Chengji in Zhongyang Town, humiliated my mother, and caused my family to leave their hometown. I was thinking about where to find you, but I didn't expect you to come here. ”

Wang Maizong stepped forward immediately, and recognized this triangular eye at a glance, which was the third elder in Zhongyang Town.

I think that at the beginning, Cao Peng's mother, Zhang, wanted to sell her ancestral jade pendant in exchange for some money in order to go to Zhongyang Mountain to get Fu Shui. How do you know, but the local tyrant took a fancy to the jade pendant in his hand, and after he couldn't buy it, he also colluded with the third elder to frame the Zhang family.

Cao Peng still remembers how this guy aided and abused at that time.

It's just that because he didn't know where he lived, Cao Peng only killed Chengji that night and let this guy go.

However, he has never forgotten the hatred of bullying his mother. Thin and delicate cheeks, suddenly flashed a cold color, Cao Peng didn't say a word, and didn't talk nonsense with that guy, raised his hand to take off the steel knife, and the knife fell in his hand...... With a click, the goatee collapsed in a pool of blood with an incredible look in his eyes. Wang Mai was even more polite, and the prancing horse twisted the gun and stabbed it in the chest of the goatee.

He framed Cao Peng's mother and almost killed Wang Mai's father.

These two little ones suddenly made a move, without the slightest warning.

So much so that Dian Wei, who was next to him, wanted to stop him, but he was still a step slower......

"Ah Fu, what are you doing?"

Dian Wei is annoyed by these people, but it doesn't mean that he can deal with each other without permission.

Wei Yan said with a smile: "Captain Dian, it's all this time, what are you still asking'?" These people are innocent in the mermaid and meat town. ”

As he spoke, he rode forward, and the dragon sparrow sword roared and flew up and down, leaving wreckage everywhere the war horse passed.

Those who lined up in front of the checkpoint and were about to clear the level immediately dispersed in a hurry when they saw this.

Deng Ji stepped forward and said to the trader who had detained the goods before: "You idiot, don't you take your goods with you?" Waiting to go bankrupt? ”

"Ah......h

The vendor was stunned for a moment, and then showed a grateful expression.

"Thank you a few heroes, thank you a few heroes."

He hurriedly beckoned the two guys, pushed the cart, and walked away quickly.

And at this time, Xia Houlan and Deng Fan also made a move! There are only a dozen errands in the level, and that can withstand the slashing of such a group of people?

It only took a few moments to kill them cleanly.

Wei Yan was still not satisfied, lit a fire on that level, and laughed.

"Ah Fu, what are you doing...... These people deserve to die, but they can be dealt with by the laws of the court. How can you kill people without permission? ”

"Those who harm the common people can be killed."

Cao Peng looked calm and glanced at Dian Wei, "Uncle Dian, why did you get to your own territory, but you became less courageous?" I think that at the beginning, you were in Wancheng, in Jianyang, and killed countless people, but you were so instigated? These guys, if they stay longer, they will do more harm to Cao Gong. Sooner you kill, sooner you say the world is peaceful...... You often say that the big husband should be indulgent, why is he looking forward and backward at this time. ”

Dian Wei was said by Cao Peng, and his face was flushed.

Wang Meng and Cao Ji also caught up, glanced at the dead corpses on the ground, and only said lightly: "Good kill!" ”

Dian Wei smiled bitterly, "Little Afu, I didn't expect you to kill your surname, you are older than me...... Anyway, these people will be killed if they are killed, and they are worth nothing. But let's get out of here quickly, lest we get into trouble after a while. ”

He had his own considerations, and he really didn't want to delay.

Although Dian Wei is Cao Ying's cronies, it is inconvenient to continue to stay in this situation.

——————————————————————

The group did not delay and set off on the road again.

It's just that they want to leave, but it's not so easy!

After walking only ten miles, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me. And accompanied by a series of shouts: "Hugh is gone of the thief, Hugh is gone of the thief......"

Dian Wellerma, look back.

I saw the end of the road, the smoke and dust rolling.

Dian Wei frowned, and said softly: "Ah Fu, you just have to go, I'll stay here." ”

Cao Peng smiled and said: "I killed the person, how can I leave my uncle alone?" I want to take a look, who is this Lang Lingchang? ”
