Sure enough, it is the capital, which is much more prosperous than that Erxian County, and it is no exaggeration to say that every nobleman in the capital has so much money that he can smash Master Zheng to death.

Entering the city gate, many ordinary people are carrying burdens, and the fruits and vegetables are placed in the burden, yo shouting and selling, and the women who come out are wrapped in headscarves and carry a basket to bargain with them, so it is not a lively scene.

Xing Xiu rode a horse through the crowd, always feeling very unsafe, so he got off the horse and led the horse forward.

Xing Xiu read the imperial examination announcement posted by the government at the head of the city, registered at the designated place and left.

She planned to find an inn to stay in for a few days first, and then wait until the imperial examination began.

Thinking about where to live, there was a scolding from the front: "The government is doing things, everyone get out of the way!" ”

Hearing the word "official", the crowd immediately gave way, and the sound of horses' hooves of "Dede" flew over chaotically, and the dust was flying.

Xing Xiu covered her nose to block the dust, led the horse to find a good inn casually, and after tidying up, she stayed, and besides, she had money now, and she didn't have to worry about silver or anything.

In his spare time, Xing Xiu saw that the inn was about to close, and there was no one, so he chatted with the innkeeper.

When the innkeeper saw Xing Xiu for the first time, he felt that Xing Xiu was very mysterious, not an idle person, and when chatting, he felt that she was talented and knowledgeable.

When she learned that she was here to take the imperial examination, she shook her head with some regret and told her, "Gongzi Xing, I see that you are very talented, but unfortunately you don't have a little background." ”

The so-called background is nothing more than the power of powerful people.

Xing Xiu had thought about this question a long time ago, but with her strength, the examiner really couldn't say that she didn't give her a jinshi and champion.

Xing Xiu faced the regret of the innkeeper and knew that the people were out of kindness, so he didn't say anything more.

"Gongzi Xing, it's late at night, the capital has not been safe recently, so let's rest early!" The innkeeper admonished.

Xing Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly, there was still an unsafe place at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Xing Xiu's adaptability has always been strong, and it is okay to sleep in this small inn for one night.

After staying at the inn for a long time, I was bored and wanted to go out for a walk.

She wore a mask, Xing Xiu didn't plan to show her face yet, after all, this was a god's face, and once it was exposed, it would easily cause a riot.

In ancient times, there was Pan An, who fell into the city because of his appearance, and was thrown by a woman when he went out to show his admiration.

What's more, her appearance is not as simple as Allure, how can she show it casually, wouldn't she be stoned to death when she goes out.

Squeak rolled his eyes: Master, do you know that you are so narcissistic?

Xing Xiu didn't have much purpose when he went out, so he just wanted to go shopping.

Looking at the familiar bazaars and old streets, she almost thought that she had returned to the twenty-fourth century, a world full of sin.

The bazaars of this era were very prosperous, and the boundaries between the squares and the markets had long since been broken, and the people were still alive in plain clothes covered with patches.

"Hey! You kid! Look what you've sold me! ”

"Adult, adult, small wrong ......"

Transaction disputes?

There was a sudden "bang".

Xing Xiu frowned when he heard this voice, and he encountered this kind of thing when he came out?

She walked towards the voice, and the crowd surrounded the two people inside.

Xing Xiu watched from a distance, and saw a big man in high-quality clothes and silk with a fat body and a meaty face holding a piece of jade, and under his feet was a wooden cart that was shattered to the ground, all kinds of small things and gadgets fell to the ground, and a thin vendor knelt on the ground, trembling and trembling.

The big man held the jade, his face trembling, and shouted to the public: "I bought a piece of jade from this kid, but it turned out to be a fake when I found someone!" Today I want justice! ”

"Say it!" Dahan smashed the jade on the ground, and the jade slashed across the vendor's face, "How do you want to pay?" ”

The jade shone with a strange light in the sun, and Xing Xiu's unmoving eyes flashed, this jade ...... It's clearly a first-class good product!

Everyone is standing outside, everyone knows that this big man is clearly here to find fault! They are a small common people, can they get real jade? These little things are only put out for sale for the sake of good looks!

Everyone is clear, but to help this vendor, there is no power.

This big man, they can't afford to mess with it!

The merchant held the jade that the big man had just thrown down, for him, this jade could feed the lifeblood of a family!

He cowered and couldn't speak, "My lord, my lord has a lot, spare me." The small, the small one doesn't know where this jade came from, and the small one has no money to pay! ”

This jade was actually taken away from him by the big man, and he didn't spend a penny, and now he has to ask him to pay for it, where did he find the money to pay for it!

I can only blame him for being unlucky and entering this batch of goods!

"Humph!" The big man stepped on the back of the vendor, as if he heard the sound of his spine shattering, and his voice was fierce, "No money to pay?" ”

Xing Xiu watched it for a long time, and roughly understood what happened to him, it turned out that this big man's name was Liu Zhiying, and he was a famous overlord city manager on this street, and he was in charge of people every day to collect protection money, and he called himself "Lord Tianfu".

Because of the money to "honor" the people of the government, the government did not pay attention to these civil disputes at all, so this Liu Zhiying became more and more domineering, and his father and mother died early, and no one could stop him at all.

Liu Zhiying crushed the back of the trader a few times, lifted his foot and left, and several footprints appeared on the back of the trader.

Liu Zhiying bent down and grabbed the neck of the half-dead trader, and said gloomily: "Give you a day, and tomorrow you will make up enough for a hundred taels to come out!" Otherwise, I want your whole family's life! ”

He patted his sleeve, passed by the stalls of several vendors, and swaggered away after picking up a few items.

The vendor's stiff body shuddered, then fell silent.

As it grew dark and the crowd dispersed, the vendors got up and silently picked up what they had dropped.

Xing Xiu walked slowly, stood in front of him, and spoke, "I can help you." ”

When the vendor looked up, a young man in a white robe wearing a mask was standing in the evening breeze, and the wind gently blew through her clothes, like a dream.

Xing Xiu hooked the corners of his lips, "But there is one condition." ”

The vendor mission nodded, as long as he could save his family's life, any condition would do!

Xing Xiu pointed to the jade in his hand, "Tell me, where did you get this jade from?" ”

The vendor looked puzzled, "The vendor from Jiangnan came in." ”

The jade is shiny, the jade body is smooth and smooth, and there are no flaws, it is a pure natural jade, and it was casually thrown on the ground as garbage by Liu Zhiying, who was illiterate.

"Jiangnan ......," Xing Xiu muttered, there must be a huge caravan there.

Xing Xiu took out a hundred taels of silver tickets and gave them to the vendor, and by the way, he told the vendor that this jade was a treasure and asked him not to take it out and sell it again.

The vendor nodded as if he understood or not, Xing Xiu didn't care whether he understood it or not, she had already gotten what she wanted, and no matter how much she took care of other people's affairs, she was full of food.
