Chapter 73: Inventory

"Let's go! An old donkey, walking so slowly! ”

It was easy to get to them, and Sizhen looked out again, just in time to see an officer and soldier guarding the city who was too slow, snatched two strings of copper coins from the hand of an old man holding a donkey, and kicked them impatiently. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

It's all gone, and they're still so arrogant!

Maybe it's because of the loss of the country that there is such a crazy looting.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Daming was not able to defend the country.

Officials bully soldiers, soldiers bully the people, and exploit layer by layer.

It is always the people who suffer.

Sizhen tugged at his heart.

I don't know if they can enter the city?

She had to go into the city to find her brother.

Sizhen frowned slightly.

The closer you get to the city, the clearer the panic and sadness becomes.

She knew very well that it was useless to think too much, but the walls of Kunming City seemed to be extraordinarily high!

Under the city gate, the roaring shouts of martial arts are getting closer and closer.

Where is this checking passers-by, it is clearly wanton extortion!

Sizhen lowered the curtain.

Although she was dressed up, she was a yellow-skinned girl, but she was still cautious in front of the city gate where the geese passed through the plucking feathers.

Sizhen leaned against the inner wall of the carriage and listened, and all the movements outside reached her ears.

Those who entered the city, those who had the money to check it, looked at the road guide, and let it go after a little checking.

The farmers in front of the queue to pick up firewood raised their hands and let the soldiers guarding the gate search.

"You are a firewood seller, where did you get the jade wrench?" Bing Youzi's voice sounded outrageous.

The farmer's voice trembled, "It's mine...... Back to the official ...... It's the little ancestor who left behind......"

"Fart!"

Bing Youzi spat at the ground: "Are you coaxing Lao Tzu?" Your dog's clothes are rotten like this, can you still have a jade wrench? Say, did you steal it or did you rob it? ”

"Official, it's really left by the little ancestor...... Official, I didn't lie to you, it's really a little ancestor...... I have never been reluctant to take it as a ......"

Perhaps Bing Youzi didn't mean to return it to him, Sizhen heard the farmer crying and said: "Official, you can't do this, it's a relic left by the little ancestor, you can't swallow it like this!" Official, at the feet of this son of heaven, there is still no royal law! ”

Mama Qin sighed, gently lifted the curtain a small crack, and leaned over to look out.

Through the gap, Sizhen happened to see the soldier with the back of the knife and hit the farmer hard: "Put your mother's shit, you are a farmer, where did you get such a thing?" Are you going to talk nonsense again, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will throw you in prison? Wang Fa? The emperor still has to rely on us to protect him, Lao Tzu is the king's law. ”

She also saw the soldier look at the jade wrench at the light, and then put it into his arms.

The farmer wept bitterly: "Official, you can't take it, it's handed down from the little ancestor, it's just such a thought, you can't take it...... Oh my God, in this world, is there any royal law! ”

The other saw that the soldiers at the city gate were younger, and saw that the farmer was crying pitifully, and persuaded him: "Third child, if not, you can return it to him, seeing that he is like a dead father and mother, and it is also pitiful." ”

The eyes of the third child bulged: "You are less of a good person, Lao Tzu protects the family and defends the country, I don't know when I will lose my life, what is his filial piety to Lao Tzu?" Which of the people above doesn't take more than us? ”

As he spoke, he kicked the farmer and scolded, "Be fucking honest, don't fucking talk nonsense, who stole your stuff?" Those Tartars in Manchuria have taken up all our places, who knows if you are their spies? This wrench is like their thing. ”

The third man turned his eyes and shouted: "The county guard said, in this Kunming city, only good people can enter, there is no way to guide them, those who have a criminal record, and those who are thieves must all be arrested and interrogated." When you look old, you look like a scout with such a good wrench. Dare to say that Lao Tzu swallowed it privately, you are fucking looking for death. Brothers, put him in prison, interrogate him properly, and see if this jade wrench is given to him by a tartar and let him be a spy! ”

Two soldiers stepped forward, one on the left and one on the right, to drag the people.

A few people who were traveling with the farmer hurriedly persuaded him to forget it and say good things to the third child.

The younger soldier, who was interrogating the others, said: "Forget it, third child, you have to spare people and spare people, the prison is overcrowded, where can you still pretend!" ”

Breaking away from the two soldiers who dragged him, the farmer hurriedly kowtowed like pounding garlic: "It's yours, sir, the wrench is the little one who honors you, you protect the family and defend the country, you work hard, and the little one is specially honored to you."

"For my brother's sake, I spare you today. Hurry up and get out of here. The third man raised his hand and waved it back triumphantly, and the two soldiers immediately let go.

The farmer stood up, not knowing whether he was sad or weak, and one of them was unsteady on his feet, and fell to the ground again, just in front of the heels of the third child.

The third man raised his foot and kicked him all over the ground, and the onlookers laughed, but the young soldier shook his head and whispered to the peasant, "Help him in." ”

A few men picked up the farmer and went in with firewood on their backs.

The old three-toed swaggered and shouted: "Next"

The queue took a few steps forward.

Mama Qin put down the curtain, saw Sizhen's two hands clenched into fists, her face turned blue, she gritted her teeth fiercely, but she couldn't bear to speak.

Sighing, Mama Qin said in a low voice: "No wonder the prince said that Da Ming's qi is exhausted." The slave and maid look at this way, it is also the luck of the country! ”

Neither Sizhen nor Thrush spoke.

Sizhen had heard her father, King Dingnan, say that at the beginning, it was not that he wanted to rebel, but those officials of the Ming Dynasty who forced him to rebel! He and his brothers defended the city to the death, but those reinforcements were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they did not arrive for a long time. If he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the entire army would be annihilated, and none of his soldiers would survive.

Her father loves soldiers like sons, of course, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch the people below die in vain because of his false name of being loyal to the monarch and patriotism, so he voted for the Qing court, and therefore, the people under his father were loyal to him, so there was the famous Kong Jiajun, and her father also made many miraculous achievements, and was named the king of the opposite sex by the Qing Dynasty and became the lord of the domain.

So although she is a Han Chinese, Sizhen has no feelings for the Ming army, and Li Dingguo of the Southern Ming Dynasty also kidnapped her brother, for her, the Ming army is an enemy or a friend, let alone an old country.

And the scenes she saw under the city gate just now made her feel even more that as long as the people live and work in peace and contentment, no matter who is the emperor, it will be the same.

As for the thrush, her parents died in the war, and her life was saved by the Kong family, for her, the king of Dingnan was an official of the Qing court, Gege was the Gege of the Qing Dynasty, and she was a person of the Qing Dynasty.

Nan Ming has nothing to do with her.

So they couldn't quite understand Mama Qin's sense of sadness.

Finally, it was the turn of the four chastels.

"The second shopkeeper of Fortune Village?"

The one called the third child is still that swaggering spirit: "Just these few road guides? There are a lot of people in your big group, just a few guides? Don't be fooled by Lao Tzu, is it enough to count? ”

This time, in addition to the prepared road guide, Sun Yanling sandwiched the four Zhen and them in the caravan that came to Fubuzhuang to resell goods out of the city and followed them into the city.

Anyway, he came down by holy order, which is equivalent to half a cha, and the local garrison still has to try to arrange this matter.

"Quantity?" The second shopkeeper of Lai Fubu Village was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed flatteringly: "Enough, enough!" Official, please count and see if this amount is enough! ”

With the sound, it was obvious that the second treasurer had added some yards of silver to the prepared silver.

After weighing the weight, the third child spoke briskly, and patted the shoulder of the second shopkeeper: "It's still you businessmen who go south and north, Lao Tzu likes it the most, yes, you have a ...... life."

In the blink of an eye, he saw the carriage pulled by the Phantom and the Chasing Wind, although the two horses were plastered with mud or something, they still looked more powerful.

Seeing the eyes of the third child, the second shopkeeper nodded and said, "Official, thank you, thank you, hard work." And he stuffed two more ingots of silver into the third child's hand.

The third child laughed: "Enough acquaintance." Look at the strength of your two horses, the business is doing well. ”

He pointed to the carriage with his finger: "Who is in it?" ”

"The villain's family, a daughter-in-law, and a maid waiting for them."

The second shopkeeper laughed dryly: "The girl has never been out, so she has to shout about this business...... The old woman was not at ease, so she took them out together, but fortunately, this trip was not far, not a few days away. It's just that the girl is squeamish, the food on the road is not palatable, and she has long been shouting that she is hungry, official, you can make it convenient for the villain to go in early, so that the girl will not be hungry! ”

"Yo, I can't see that you still blame your daughter, a small family, why are you so exquisite? If you are away from home, let her suffer a little more, and she won't run away with you next time. "The third child has a lot of experience and talks about the experience of educating children.

Just as he was about to wave his hand to let him go, he suddenly remembered that the top had specially confessed that everyone must check it, so as not to let the spies in.

Although he led the team to guard this city gate today, if he didn't check it, he would put it in, and he wouldn't be able to let anyone gossip on it.

Weighing the two bags of silver in his hand, the third child stuffed it into his arms along with the two ingots in his hand, and said in a businesslike appearance: "Open the curtain of the car, Lao Tzu take a look, don't have a knife or a gun in it, if you transport a cart of muskets in, it won't be a ......."

The second shopkeeper smiled and said: "Official, you are joking, we are businessmen who do our duty." ”

He walked up to the carriage, lifted the curtain halfway, and said to the third child, "Look, they are all the villain's family, nothing else." ”

The third child took a look and saw a little girl with a bun holding her head around her head, and a maid dressed up next to her, holding an embroidered bandage in her hand, in addition, there were several silk horses in the carriage.
