Chapter 43: Actually, I'm a Bad Person
Martial law was imposed in the city, and the common people were miserable. The people take food as the sky, the vegetables of the vegetable farmers outside the city cannot be transported, the vegetable merchants quietly increase the price of vegetables, the people still earn those copper plates, eat worse than usual, spend more than usual, and have already secretly scolded the arsonist for more than 18 generations of ancestors.
The appearance of Ma Chao and his entourage was even depicted by the painter and pasted on the notice.
In the early morning, the fog of winter has not yet dissipated, and steamed buns, tofu, and sheep water boiling in a large iron pot are all steaming.
Ma Chao and Wang Wu were slightly disguised, pasted fake beards, mixed with rouge and pot bottom ash, and applied a layer on their faces with a brush, their skin looked dark, and they shouted a few words in a thick voice.
Coming to the official billboard, Ma Chao looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but sigh twice.
Wang Wu asked, what's wrong? Ma Chao said that he knew that the painter was so level, and he also painted a fart makeup. Wang Wu smiled and said that although there are many painters, there are very few who can really paint without a single centimeter and have both form and spirit.
Ma Chao complained that Wang Wu didn't say it earlier, and said that when he ate steamed buns in the morning, he didn't dare to hurry, for fear of the heat of the steamed buns, and his makeup would be spent.
The fog gradually dissipated, and Wang Wu glanced at it and said that the hour was almost up. Ma Chao also looked up at the sky, shook his head helplessly, looked at the position of the sun, and really didn't know what time it was.
Wang Wuda heard that the largest vegetable merchant in the city would go out of the city to buy at this time of the day.
The vegetable merchant's surname is Li Mingzhi, he has no land and no land, because he knows some flattering skills, after Lord Yang became the governor of Xianping Mansion, Li Zhi relied on gifts and stood on his feet.
This time, it was he who organized the vegetable merchants to raise the price, deducted two catties from Neke, and defrauded the people. External pressure on tenants, although it is easy to store in winter, but it will shrink, and one more day will reduce the number of catties. If it freezes, the price will be greatly discounted. It's miserable inside and outside the city.
Li Zhi rode a horse and walked in front, looking like a villain, but he had already taken care of the city gate garrison.
The team is actually a dozen large wooden carts pulling vegetables. made it look like a large army was going out, Li Zhi did it deliberately, so that he could save face.
Li Zhi saw from a distance that a dilapidated carriage was parked in front of the city gate, the carriage was uncovered, and it was covered with a white cloth.
Li Zhirang stopped, looked at it from a distance, thinking that it might be a dead person, don't be contaminated.
was waiting irritably, and two people came out of the fork in the road, looking quite fierce.
Li Zhizheng wondered, in a trance, when he heard the short one say do it, the strong man walked over with his bare hands, and shouted robbery in a rough voice.
Li Zhi was stunned and couldn't help laughing. After greeting him, two strong, flesh-faced subordinates walked out from behind. These two subordinates usually beat up those vegetable farmers who are not satisfied.
The two of them had some outside kung fu, and as soon as they came up, they rushed over shouting and scolding.
It's a pity that the two robbers today are Ma Chao and Wang Wu, Ma Chao was a little stunned, but he didn't expect to encounter resistance.
Of course, this resistance is also a mantis arm as a car, Ma Chao said impatiently, first disabled.
Wang Wu, snapped twice, and there were two lying on the ground. Then with an arrow step, he rushed over and lifted Li Zhi down. Li Zhiwu threw himself on the ground and begged for mercy, Ma Chao and Wang Wu didn't pay attention to him, and began to rummage, and there were dozens of copper plates for collecting vegetables in the car.
This money-loving person sometimes doesn't even want his life. This is not far from the city gate, Li Zhi rolled a few times, then got up, ran for his life, and shouted for help while running. I want to catch Ma Chao and take back the money.
The soldiers who defended Cheng knew Li Zhi, so they came over with a hula la. Then a woman who was pulling the dead man took the opportunity to stuff a sum of silver into the city gate and gave it to the man who opened the gate.
The rest is a small leader, glanced at the silver, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that couldn't be hidden, the silver looked like there were two taels, that was the little leader of the city for half a year.
The little leader pretended to circle around the carriage covered with white cloth, whether he understood it or not, anyway, he said that it was hopeless, and hurriedly buried it far away. After saying that, he opened the gates of the city. Now it is strictly forbidden to go out of the city, and when there are many people, the small boss does not dare to accept money, but coincidentally, Li Zhi shouted for help, and the rest of the people are relatives of the small boss.
The city gate is open and peaceful, in ancient times, the dead can go out of the city to be buried, at that time the most feared is infectious diseases, the dead are easy to produce plague after a long time.
The occurrence of plague is the death of a city, so the ancient people respected the dead very much, and the funeral etiquette was even more important.
Therefore, if a dead man is released, as long as no one knows about the cashier, the little boss is not guilty.
There are three people who go out of the city, Ma Gan, Miss Da and Xue Yue. Everyone has painted makeup, and their appearance is lower than the sky. Originally, the hot girl was also leaving, but unfortunately Xueyue didn't let her, Xueyue was afraid that in these two or three days, Ma Chao and Lord Yang would be injured when they were dealing with her, and the hot girl had superb medical skills and stayed for backup.
After leaving the city according to the plan, the eldest lady rode a fast horse with the jade spirit card and went to the Shenzhou military camp to ask for help. Xueyue's injuries were better, so she took care of the horse pole and hid in the nearby Wangjia Village to recuperate, and when the rescuers rescued King Zhen and Lord Yang was imprisoned, everyone was converging.
Now, according to the plan, the eldest lady has gone out of the city, and the rest is that Ma Chao wants to hide in Xianping Mansion for two days in a high-profile manner.
Seeing more than a dozen soldiers rushing over, Ma Chao raised his hand, and more than a dozen copper plates flew out with a roar.
This was not thrown by Ma Chao, Ma Chao put on a pose, which was actually inspired by Wang Wu behind Ma Chao's back.
The soldiers who rushed over fell to the ground in an uproar, Ma Chao stood there, this place was slightly higher, he looked high-spirited, and there was a taste of overlooking the world.
Ma Chao laughed and said: Lao Tzu will not change his name, and he will not change his surname. Tell you Lord Yang, I, Ma Chao, am going to turn over Xianping Mansion and show him.
After walking into the alley, Wang Wu praised Ma Chao for saying well, and Ma Chao said how bad this line was.
Ma Chao found a place with many poor people to divide the money, and began to rob the rich and help the poor, of course, the two people also had conflicts, because the money that Ma Chao and Wang Wu robbed, to be exact, was the money robbed by Wang Wu, in addition to distributing it to the poor, Ma Chao himself had to keep a part.
Wang Wu said that we are robbing the rich and helping the poor, if Ma Chao keeps it for himself, won't it become a robbery? Ma Chao smiled and asked Wang Wu, do you have land and land? Wang Wu said no, and Ma Chao immediately said that in this society where land is privately owned, people who have no land are poor. Ma Chao also asked Wang Wu if he was right? Wang Wu thought about it carefully and said yes. Ma Chao pointed to the deep courtyard of the house in front of him and said that he was robbing the rich, and then pointed to himself and Wang Wu and said that he was helping the poor.
Wang Wu was stunned for a moment, and said sincerely.
