Chapter 6: If something goes wrong, you will be a demon
Looking at the two big characters of Yangzhou on the city wall not far away.
Zhu Ming felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
However, since Yangzhou has been occupied by Qing soldiers, the 10-day tragedy in Yangzhou should have happened a long time ago.
Zhu Ming looked down at his current outfit, and his heart suddenly became abrupt.
No wonder White Peony, as well as the two people before, would be so frightened when they saw themselves.
Under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he did not wear braids and dared to wander around outside.
That's absolutely ruthless.
No wonder the two people before saw themselves kneeling directly.
You have to kneel as well.
This is a person with his head pinned to the waistband of his trousers, where can ordinary people provoke it?
In this era, various anti-Qing forces rose and fell one after another, and it was the most active time.
But at the same time, it was also the most fierce time for the Manchu court to fight against the anti-Qing forces.
Zhu Ming is just an ordinary person, and now he feels a little scared after realizing it.
Zhu Ming suddenly felt that he had been dancing on the tip of the knife before, and his legs were a little weak at this time.
Looking at Yangzhou City not far away, Zhu Ming was afraid that a team of Qing soldiers would suddenly rush out and dismantle himself.
I don't know if I die in this kind of place, whether I will go back to the original world directly, or if I will really die.
Zhu Ming wanted to turn around and leave, but thought that if he dared to ignore the task, then he would really die.
Zhu Ming doesn't think that the so-called erasure of the system is just casual talk.
When the time comes, I can't find a place to cry.
"Miss Peony is right, we shouldn't fight directly with Qinggou now."
Bai Peony glanced at Zhu Ming suspiciously, not knowing why Zhu Ming was still arrogant and fearless in the last second, and wanted to break into Yangzhou City, but the next second he was directly cowardly.
Or was it just a temptation from Zhu Ming?
Bai Peony didn't dare to confirm, just guessed in his heart.
Seeing that Zhu Ming agreed to take refuge for the time being, Bai Peony was also relieved, after all, Bai Peony didn't want to die.
"Childe, wait a minute."
White Peony walked directly towards the city gate and waved his hand towards the corner of the city wall.
I saw a young man rushing over as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
"What do you have to say about Miss Peony?"
This man is an idle man in Yangzhou City, named Zhao Si.
I usually run errands for some people, and I have dealt with Bai Peony a few times, so I am quite familiar.
"Go and call two sedan chairs."
Called two sedan chairs?
Zhao Si glanced into the distance, only saw Zhu Ming's shadow, and suddenly understood in his heart.
"Okay, Miss Peony wait."
Zhao Si ran under the city wall again, and after a while, he rushed back with two sedan chairs.
"Zhao Si, you take them to have a bowl of tea."
Bai Peony directly took out a little loose silver and threw it to Zhao Si.
Zhao Si suddenly smiled.
"Thank you for the peony girl."
How much can it cost to drink tea, this money is not in Zhao Si's pocket.
Of course, Zhao Si can't be unplugged, when the white peony gives silver, those sedan chair drivers can see it clearly.
"Brothers, go for tea, the peony girl will appreciate it."
Zhao Si led a few palanquin men and walked towards the city wall again.
Not far from the city gate is a tea shop, which has already opened, although it is just dawn.
Yangzhou City is also a big city, every day as soon as the city gate is opened, it will go in and out, people come and go, where can you still pick time to do business.
Naturally, when there are customers, it is time to open.
"I said Fourth Brother Zhao, what kind of demon is Miss Peony doing?"
Several palanquin drivers were puzzled.
How can there be a sedan chair and take people away, it is obviously greasy.
The fire of gossip of several people was burning.
"Is this the first time you guys have come out to do something? Don't know the rules? ”
Zhao Si directly rebuked with a gloomy face.
What does a helper do is to help people do things well, especially things that are inconvenient for others to do.
I don't even have a little eyesight, so what's the point of helping.
If everything is upright and bright, then what is the matter with your own people?
A few palanquin drivers smiled awkwardly.
Although they all understand the truth, the gossip spirit of human beings has been passed down from generation to generation and has been prosperous for a long time.
What's more, White Peony is not an ordinary person, they are more interested in the gossip of White Peony.
However, Zhao Si reprimanded, and several people didn't want to be bored, so they sat around a table.
"Serve some good tea, don't fool around with those broken tea foams. Serve some more snacks and fill a pot of wine for these people. ”
Zhao Si and this teahouse may also be familiar with it, so he commanded casually.
"Hey, Fourth Brother Zhao is making a fortune, your heart will be in your stomach, and no one will pit you."
The teahouse guy replied with a smile and turned to prepare.
Bai Peony waited until Zhao Si and the others walked away, and then hurriedly turned around to greet Zhu Ming.
"You sit in this sedan chair, wait a minute, don't squeak."
Bai Peony directly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair behind him and let Zhu Ming get in.
Bai Peony checked around the sedan chair again, and then waved her hand in the direction of Zhao Si, while she herself got directly into the first sedan chair.
Zhao Si had been staring at this side for a long time, and when he saw the white peony greeting, he immediately stood up.
"Brothers, bring things and work."
Several palanquin drivers hurriedly stood up, stuffed all the snacks into their arms, and hung the wine jug on their waists.
Looking at the tea that had not yet drunk a few sips, several people were full of distress.
Such a good tea may not be able to be drunk once in a year and a half.
As soon as someone gritted his teeth, he directly picked up the tea bowl, and he didn't care about the heat, so he poured it down.
Naturally, he grinned his teeth that were burned.
Zhao Si, who watched it, only felt a toothache.
Zhao Si also wanted to do the same, but in the end he couldn't get it down.
Several people trotted back to the sedan chair.
saw that Bai Peony had already sat in the sedan chair, and there were obviously people in the sedan chair behind.
Zhao Si stopped the exploration of several palanquin drivers with his eyes, and ordered the sedan chair to be lifted.
After taking a few steps forward, suddenly the sedan curtain was lifted, and the white peony's face was revealed.
Zhao Si hurriedly ran over.
Bai Peony didn't speak, but just threw a small piece of silver to Zhao Si.
Zhao Si was taken aback, and hurriedly leaned closer, and said, "Peony girl doesn't have to give it anymore, it doesn't need so much." ”
But Bai Peony didn't pay attention to it and directly lowered the sedan curtain.
This made Zhao Si suddenly feel frightened.
White peony is naturally not a sheep who doesn't understand anything.
will pay so much money, naturally it is not for nothing.
Zhao Si's heart suddenly felt apprehensive.
But there was no chance to hesitate for Zhao Si.
The place where the white peony was located before was not far from the city gate.
It didn't take long to reach the gates of the city.
There were a few soldiers sitting in the cave of the city gate, and when they saw a sedan chair coming, several people quickly stood up.
"Yo, it's Zhao Si."
Zhao Si basically begged for a living near the city gate, and he was quite familiar with these soldiers.
A few soldiers were about to stop and check.
Zhao Si hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"Brothers, it's convenient."
As he spoke, Zhao Si flipped through his hand and took out a bag of copper coins from his cuffs.
Listen to the sound of copper coins rattling.
Several soldiers were all eye-catching, and it was not surprising that guarding the city gate was originally made from this.
But Zhao Si seems to have taken a bit too much.
Several soldiers looked at Zhao Si suspiciously.
If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, and it is right for a few people to want to make money, but some money cannot be collected, and if it is collected, it will lose its head.
