Chapter 561: Into the City
The gates opened, and a squad of soldiers came out, seeing the crowd and pushing constantly.
At this time, there were already a lot of people in front of the city gate, and it seemed that although they had to pay ten cents, there were still many people who wanted to enter the city.
"What a squeeze, what a squeeze, anxious to be reincarnated, what a bunch of untouchables. As for the money, take out the money, line up, and only those who pay the money can enter. ”
A man who looked like a leader walked in front of the soldiers, and after he finished speaking, he supervised the payment of money by the crowd, and when he saw something unpleasant, he stepped forward and kicked him twice.
Xu was only open for an hour, and although there were many people outside the city gate, they were also in order.
"My lord, I only have so much money on me, and my children are sick and dying, so you can do it, let me in." ”
A woman was holding a newborn baby in her arms, with a bath towel around her head, as if she had just come out of confinement, and at this moment there were seven copper plates thrown on the ground, and the woman was pushed by the soldiers, but she was not allowed to enter.
"Get out, there's no money to go into, there's no money to go in and find a doctor, and if you don't have money, go back. ”
"My lord, I beg you, just let me in, my man has just died of the plague, and now I have only this one son left, and I can't live without my son anymore. ”
The woman cried and fell to her knees, but the soldier was not moved at all, and when he heard that the woman's husband had died of the plague, he looked at the woman with even more disgust, and had just pushed the woman a few times, and now he felt uncomfortable.
"Damn, it's really bad luck to come here with the plague, so don't get out of here. ”
After the soldier finished speaking, he stepped forward and kicked the woman cruelly, and the woman was exhausted and sat on the ground at once, causing the child in her arms to cry.
"Baby, don't cry, baby, don't cry..."
The woman sat on the ground, coaxing the child in her arms, tears flowing, but the cry made the soldiers even more disgusted.
An Hu couldn't stand it for a long time in the back, the first thing they practiced martial arts was not to bully women and children, but these soldiers not only bullied, but also bullied a woman who had just come out of confinement and a child who was about to die, how could An Hu endure it, just about to have a seizure, he felt that his arm was being held.
Shen Man'er gave An Hu a reassuring look, then walked out of the team and stepped forward.
"Eldest sister, it's cold on the ground, you get up first. ”
Shen Man'er helped the woman up from the ground, she was a woman who had just come out of confinement, and her body should have been very rich, but Shen Man'er only touched the lean bones.
The woman looked at the boy in front of her in a daze, would anyone help her at this time?
Although she knew that the little boy might just look at her pitiful, she was still very grateful.
"Thank you, little boy. ”
The woman stood up with Shen Man'er's support, but the child in her arms was still crying.
Shen Man'er looked at the baby in swaddling clothes, it looked like it had just been born, her face was yellow and thin, and now she was sick, her whole face was red, and she was shaking when she cried, which was very pitiful.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The soldier looked at Shen Man'er, where did this hairy boy come from, and he actually came here to join in the fun.
"I'll give her money, and you let her in. ”
Shen Man'er looked at the soldiers in front of her, these soldiers ate what the state gave them, but they treated the emperor's people like this, and when the matter of Mo Yucheng was resolved, she must treat these people well.
The soldiers looked Shen Man'er up and down, where did this come from, it is difficult for everyone to protect themselves these days, and they all want to hide away from trouble, this is good, stick it yourself.
All you need is silver.
"You give her money, that's what you said. ”
"Well, I said. ”
Shen Man'er nodded, isn't it just a few pennies, and the right to send the dog away.
"Okay, the two of them, a total of twenty pieces of silver. ”
Twenty texts?
As soon as the little woman heard this number, she was in a hurry.
"My son is so young, he didn't have to pay before. Little boy, don't let him cheat, he only charged me ten cents before. ”
Shen Man'er patted the woman and reassured her, whether it was ten or twenty wen, it didn't matter to her at all.
"Eldest sister, it's okay, it's just a few pennies, or the child's illness matters. ”
The woman couldn't help but cry when she heard Shen Man'er say this, she had met Guanyin Bodhisattva manifestation today, and she had really met a nobleman.
"Wait. ”
Shen Man'er put her hand into her arms, intending to take the smallest piece of silver.
Originally, she only had silver tickets on her, but Yingying reminded her and asked her to bring a little broken silver, but even if it was the smallest, it was close to one or two.
As soon as Shen Man'er found the smallest piece and was about to take out the silver, she heard the voice of the little leader before.
Shen Man'er took the money for a moment, and looked at the little leader who was walking towards him, what bad idea was this person going to make.
"What's going on?"
In fact, just now he stood next to him and saw the things here clearly, but now he just looks uncomfortable with this little white face who dares to find fault.
"Back to Liutou, just now this woman wanted to go into the city, but the money she brought was not enough, and now this little brother plans to pay for her, and I am ready to collect the money, so let them enter the city. ”
The little leader stepped forward to look at Shen Man'er, the clothes on his body were just ordinary cloth clothes, the clothes were average, the workmanship was good, and the shoes looked like they were worth a few silver.
Behind him, one left and one right, followed by two people, one of them holding a sword, seems to know martial arts, this sword, not bad.
The other one, a big man, actually learned other women's scarves.
"Ahem, I know everything, but if you want to enter the city today, you must pay double the silver. ”
Shen Man'er frowned, this person actually sat on the ground and raised the price.
"I want to ask this lord, this entrance to the city gate is obviously said to be ten cents, why do we have to enter the city and pay double the silver?"
When the little boss heard that he was being questioned, he was immediately upset.
During this time, when he was going to enter the city, no one had to stammer him, and he said as much as he wanted, and this person even doubted himself.
"Others are penile, if you want to enter, you want to double, if you want to enter, you will pay money, and if you don't want to enter, you will get out. ”
Shen Man's anger was about to smoke, there is no royal law here, a little janitor, he even thought he was a great man.
"Little boy, you don't care about us, this is the fate of our mother, you better hurry into the city. ”
Hearing the words of the woman beside her, and seeing that the people next to her had already entered the city one after another, Shen Man'er retracted a little reason.
Now is not the time to reason with these people, and there is no rush to clean them up.
"Eldest sister, don't worry, I won't leave you alone. ”
Shen Man'er wanted to take out the smallest silver, but at this time, she didn't know which tendon was wrong, so she took out a silver ingot of fifty taels and took it out.
"There are five of us, each of us is twenty wen, a total of one hundred, here is fifty taels, looking for money. ”
Shen Man'er didn't care and threw fifty taels of silver into the soldier's arms, and when such a large piece of silver was thrown out, the entire city gate was boiling.
If this was before, it was not too much to have fifty taels of silver on his body, but now who dares to take out fifty taels of silver directly, this is not to show off his wealth, this is to find death.
