Chapter 162: Jinling City

After Xiao Qi wiped the medicine, he told the Wang brothers to drive a carriage back to pull the horse, but the horse's leg had been broken and could no longer be used.

So the people, who had already eaten supper, began to eat horse meat again.

The second child of the Wang family arranged for someone to slaughter it, and gave each person a small piece of meat, and everyone gathered around the fire while chatting and roasting horse meat to eat, and the fragrance wafted far away.

After the second elder of the Wang family divided the meat, he said to Xiao Qi: "Deputy Liu, after eating meat tonight, everyone will definitely be able to walk more tomorrow." ”

Xiao Ming nodded violently, "Yes, yes." ”

Xiao Ming said to his subordinates: "Follow Deputy Liu's head to catch meat and eat, do you dare to run away in the future?" ”

Xiao Qi stood up and said to everyone: "If you run away again, I won't accept it when you come back." ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Don't run, don't run again." ”

Some people are baked half-cooked and delivered to their mouths.

Ah Mo also sat by the fire and roasted a piece of meat for Mu Zixi, which was golden and crispy, and the heat was well controlled.

After the meat was roasted, Ah Mo carefully brought it to Mu Zishan.

Mu Ziqi glared at Ah Mo fiercely, "I don't have any eyes at all, hurry up and get farther away, this is my mount, young master, it works hard, I will never eat it." ”

The horse meat that could not be eaten was cooked and hung outside the carriage to dry.

The second child of the Wang family looked at the horse meat outside the five carriages and was very satisfied, well, yes, it seems that the meat can be eaten in the next few days.

The more than 30 officers and men who were arrested all had chapped lips, drooled from the smell of meat, and swallowed saliva when they smelled the aroma of barbecued meat.

……

After two days of traveling, Xiao Qiyi and his party finally arrived outside Jinling City.

The north gate of Jinling City is particularly high-spirited, and the two words of Jinling are written directly above the city gate.

Mu Ziqi: "Let's park the car on the side first, get into the carriage, and change all the clothes that catch fast, you are the fast catcher of Pengzhou City but not the fast catcher of Jinling City, after entering the city, be careful." ”

Then Mu Ziqi pointed to the more than 30 people who were arrested, "Untie all the ropes tied to their hands." ”

After everything was in order, the group lined up to get ready to enter the city.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were fat and strong, and when they saw Xiao Qiyi and his party driving five big carriages, and dozens of people were followed behind the cars, their eyes immediately lit up, this is a fat sheep, a fat sheep.

Xiao Qi led the way over, and the fat officer and soldier glanced at it casually, shook the spear in his hand and said, "Ten taels of silver." ”

"Didn't the person who entered the city in front of him charge five cents alone?" Xiao Qi asked.

The fat officer and soldier shook the armor on their bodies, and said very imposingly: "How can it be the same, as soon as I heard your accent, I knew that you were from other places, do outsiders still want the same treatment as locals?" ”

Xiao Qi was very angry when he heard this, and was about to step forward to argue with reason, Mu Ziqi took Xiao Qi's hand, "Give him the money first, and then earn the money back when you enter the city." ”

Xiao Qi paid the money, led everyone into the city, and inquired all the way towards the county office.

The more than 30 people who were arrested didn't dare to produce any demon moths, but they had seen with their own eyes the power of this group of people.

Soon Xiao Qi and his party arrived at the yamen, and Xiao Qi asked the officers and soldiers guarding the door to go in and pass the word, but the officers and soldiers did not move.

Xiao Qi felt very strange, could it be that this officer and soldier were deaf?

Ah Mo stepped forward and handed two silver peanuts to the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers went in to report.

Soon, a little official with a fat head and big ears came out, glanced at Xiao Qi, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Qi asked the little official, "Is the prefect here?" ”

The fat-headed and big-eared little official swept over the crowd again, and when he saw that this group of people were dressed ordinarily, he said: "Our prefect is busy, how can we have time to see you, and I don't see what kind of place this is, and it is your turn to talk to a girl." ”

Mu Ziqi's good temper had been polished, and he said to the little official with a cold face: "These thirty or so people are the robbers we met on the road, and they are handed over to you for disposal." ”

The fat-headed and big-eared little official said, "These seem to be ordinary people." ”

Mu Ziqi's voice was cold, "They confessed themselves - disguised as ordinary people to rob, you interrogate slowly, we still have to leave beforehand." ”

After Mu Ziqi finished speaking, he turned around and was about to take people away, but the little official immediately turned his face, and his fat body stopped in front of Mu Ziqi with a cruel smile.

"It's not that easy to leave."

Xiao Qi took out a stack of paper and handed it to the little official, "We are from Pengzhou City, this is our guide, there is the seal of the Mu Prefect on it, and the one you stopped is the little son of the Mu Prefect's family." ”

After reading the road guide, the little official bowed to Mu Zichen and smiled: "It turned out to be Mu Xiaogongzi - contemptible Wu Gui, do you want to enter the yamen for a cup of tea?" ”

Mu Ziqi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned around and left coldly.

Wu Gui said to Mu Ziqi's back with a smile on his face: "Mu Gongzi walks slowly, and when the prefect comes back, I will report to the prefect." ”

When Xiao Qi and his party walked out of a short distance, Wu Gui immediately beckoned a clever boy.

"Follow them, see where they are going, what they do, and report back on everything."

After listening to Wu Gui's words, the kid immediately ran away.

…………

Finally handed over more than 30 people to the government, Xiao Qiyi and his party breathed a sigh of relief, felt relaxed, and walked slowly on the street.

Jinling did not suffer from the disaster, the city is as prosperous as in previous years, and the streets are full of people coming and going, and the river is endless.

After leaving the official office and walking for a while, the group saw a grain and oil shop.

Xiao Qi and Mu Ziqi walked in and took a turn.

The shop was full of grain, Xiao Qi pointed to the ordinary rice and asked the guy, "How much is a catty?" ”

The guy is very attentive, "This kind of ordinary rice is three pounds for one catty, one pound for a hundred catties, and ten catties for a thousand catties." ”

Mu Ziqi: "If I buy 10,000 catties, do you have any stock?" ”

The guy looked at Mu Zichen and saw that the young man looked like an immortal and his clothes were not bad, so he said, "Yes, yes, when will the guest officer ask for it." ”

Mu Zixi: "I'll think about it." ”

After Mu Ziqi finished speaking, he and Xiao Qi glanced at each other, and the two walked out of the shop quietly.

The guy chased after the two of them and said, "The guest officer bought it earlier, I heard that the northland has been hit by a disaster, and the food will definitely become more and more expensive." ”

Xiao Qi: "I found that the price of grain here is much cheaper than that of Pengzhou City, and the stock is sufficient." ”

Mu Ziqi suggested: "Why don't we stop in Jinling, if we can buy enough grain in Jinling, we don't have to go south, which can save a lot of time." ”

Xiao Qi nodded, "Let's find a clean inn to settle down first, and then go out." ”

I have to say that the flyover artists recruited in Pengzhou City are all very clever, and they soon found an affordable and clean inn.

Everyone put the things in the backyard of the inn, and after tidying up, Xiao Qi and Mu Ziqi picked a few clever catchers to go out and found several food shops.

I found a shop with a fair price, directly bought 5,000 catties of ordinary rice and pulled it back to the inn, and bought more than 10 mule carts from the market.
