The Lin Clan's merchant group hit the road again, and it was still Lin Hongyi who was in the front, followed by Xiao Chen, and Lin Die was in the middle of the convoy, under the pretext of taking care of his injured mount. Baidu search purple pavilion .

The atmosphere is a little strange, and many people know that the eldest lady was peeked at in the shower last night. Because after returning to the camp last night, Lin Die "interrogated" almost everyone, and if it weren't for her mouth, everyone would not have known about it.

It turned out that the person who peeked at her was Xiao Chen.

Everyone glanced at Xiao Hou Ye from time to time, so that he could always feel that there was a gaze from behind.

To say that the saddest thing is Lin Die, she could have questioned "Chen Xiao's" lewd behavior in a grand manner, but now, the lewd thief has another identity - a life-saving benefactor.

He is the life-saving benefactor of everyone in the entire Lin caravan, if you make trouble with him, first of all, his father Lin Hongyi will not agree.

She could even think of what her father would say to persuade her: the children of the rivers and lakes are informal, and Chen Gongzi didn't mean to peek, and he saved everyone.

The most hateful was of course Xiao Chen, because he just admitted that he had inadvertently seen Lin Die taking a bath, and he did not look at it with just one glance, and then left quickly.

What about the deceitful ghost, Lin Die believes in his sixth sense very much, how could he only take a look at it last night, when he was stolen from the beginning to the end. The point is that she couldn't find a reason to refute, so she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.

"Shopkeeper Lin, what happened last night...... Either way, it's my fault, and I ask for your forgiveness. The little marquis made a very humble appearance of admitting his mistakes.

"Chen Gongzi is polite, you didn't mean it. Lin Hongyi smiled and said: "You are the life-saving benefactor of all of us, I can't afford your forgiveness." ”

The little marquis said seriously: "What kind of benefactor is not benefactor, one of the very important reasons why I killed those horse bandits is to protect myself." Besides, since we are walking together, we should share weal and beyond. ”

Lin Hongyi gave a thumbs up: "Chen Gongzi is really an open-minded person, Lin admires it, and he doesn't thank you." It's better to do this, let's go to Dong'an City to live in the evening, Lin Moudong and let's have a meal together, Chen Gongzi must not refuse, give Lin a chance to show a little heart. ”

"That's so polite...... Then, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”

Seeing the father and the thief talking and laughing in front, the eldest lady's heart was even more uncomfortable.

During the temporary break at noon, Lin Benjian called Lin Hongyi aside and whispered: "Cousin, I always feel that this Chen Xiao is not a good stubble, it is better to part ways with him after arriving in Dong'an City." ”

"Why?" Lin Hongyi said puzzledly: "He saved us." ”

Lin Benjian shook his head and said: "My big shopkeeper, he is a noble son, and the matter of the Blood Shadow Hall was in a uproar a while ago, and you don't know it." ”

"So what?"

"What is the Blood Shadow Hall for, to kill the nobles and officials who may rebel!" Lin Benjian's eyes widened, and he said: "He dares to go to the capital alone, to seek justice for his dead father, can't he explain the problem? ”

Lin Hongyi frowned: "But I said that I would go together, and people were still helping me at the time of crisis, how could I go back on my word? Although you and I are profit-seeking businessmen, we also have to tell a letter." ”

Lin Benjian thought he was shaken, and volunteered: "The shopkeeper is embarrassed to speak, so I'm not afraid of offending him." ”

Lin Hongyi waved his hand: "I didn't mean that, don't talk about this matter anymore, unless Chen Gongzi takes the initiative to break up, otherwise we will continue to walk with him all the way." ”

After speaking, he turned to leave, and Lin Benjian's eyes showed a fierce gaze again, but this time it was not aimed at Xiao Chen, but his cousin Lin Hongyi.

After a short break, the team continued on the road, and Lin Die still walked in the middle of the team.

Lin Hongyi was a little helpless, and said to Xiao Chen: "At dinner in the evening, Lin tried his best to resolve the misunderstanding between the little girl and Xiao Gongzi, my daughter is really too ignorant." ”

"Shopkeeper Lin is serious, in fact, Miss Die'er is also a very open-minded person, and I am not right. ”

"Xiao Gongzi is polite, you are right, it is Lin Mou's goddaughter who has no way. ”

“......”

When it was close to evening, the caravan came to the city of Dongbao, and the shopkeeper wanted to invite everyone into the city for a good meal, and as soon as the news was announced, the originally exhausted men suddenly came to their senses.

After the founding of the Great Chu Dynasty, it learned from the lessons of the previous dynasty and built four security cities in four directions two hundred miles away from the imperial capital to defend the imperial capital.

The shape of the four security cities is the same, it is two miles long in the east, west, north and south, surrounded by tall city walls, and each city has a garrison of 100,000 troops, which is a powerful military force that cannot be ignored. Anyone who wants to attack the Imperial Capital, no matter which direction they come from, must first pass through the Secure City.

Because the purpose of the city was to defend the imperial capital, most of the people in the city were military families, and there were not many outsiders, and then the people who entered and left the imperial capital would choose to rest and eat in the security city.

As soon as the convoy reached the city gate, it was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.

Lin Hongyi hurriedly took out the official documents and said, "We are the Lin business group from Yangzhou, and we went to the city to rest and eat. ”

The little soldier's face was full of arrogance, he didn't look at the official documents he handed over, and hummed with his nostrils: "If you want to enter the city, you can, pay taxes." ”

"Pay taxes?" Lin Hongyi was stunned, and said in his heart that he had been in business for many years, and there were no such regulations in the Great Chu Dynasty.

Paying taxes is a matter of course, for example, if you pull a batch of goods to the imperial capital to sell, you must pay taxes before entering the city, otherwise you will not be able to enter the city at all, even if you are lucky to get in, the legal goods will become smuggling, not only confiscated but also severely punished by the parties.

What is written on the official document is where the goods come from and where they are going, and when they pass through other cities and counties on the way, they can enter and exit at will, and there is no need to pay taxes.

"That's right, pay the tax!" the soldier repeated, continuing to point his nostrils at him, "This is an order given by the garrison general two days ago, any caravan that enters our East Security City must pay taxes. ”

Lin Hongyi was still smiling: "How much tax do you have to pay?"

He knew that this must be the Qiu Ba people in Dong'an City, but if it wasn't much, it could be given to them, after all, when they were out of the house, it was convenient for them to be with others.

Xiao Bing sneered and stretched out a finger, Lin Hongyi was happy: "A truckload of goods is just money, I'll give it!"

"Scared, are you asking for food when we are, a truckload of goods is always money!" Xiao Bing almost didn't quench his face, glared at him and said: "A car is a hundred times, not a single child is missing!"

One hundred cars per car, the Lin family has dozens of cars, which adds up to thousands of cars, you want to rob it!

Seeing that his face was displeased, a few more soldiers immediately rushed over, pointed their spears at Lin Hongyi and said, "Don't want to enter the city if you don't pay taxes!"

"Then let's not go into the city, let's do it!" he said angrily.

"No, it's all at the city gate, you can't enter if you don't enter?" A man who looked like an officer walked over, shook his head and said: "It's okay if you don't enter, and you can't lose a penny in taxes!"

After saying that, hundreds of small soldiers rushed out and surrounded them.

The little marquis has been watching coldly, these soldiers are too much, it seems that the little master has to come out again.
