"My lord, the city gate can't stand anymore! If the adults don't ask, I'm afraid it will lead to some kind of trouble, after all, those people at the door are all with status. A man nodded and said to the man sitting in an official uniform.

"Didn't you send more men?" The man in the official uniform was the palace of Maji Castle.

"Adults don't know, what new styles have come out of Linglong Pavilion today, many ladies and ladies are gathered there, and they are still on the street. Some people have been transferred, and if these people have any accidents, the small ones can't get rid of it. There aren't many people left who can be transferred, but this Linglong Pavilion has done some auction for these things, and almost all the people with status in the surrounding area have gone to the city, and these people are not easy to offend! "The little one is the castle guard.

In the past two days, Maji City, a city that is not big or small, has become the center of people from all sides. Let's say it's small, the area of Maji City is really not small. Let's say it's big, there are no powerful people in this city, and there are no important paths, let alone the ability to reach the sky. Therefore, it is necessary to rely on the trade and population in the vicinity, otherwise it will not be able to support this big stall.

"Linglong Pavilion, Linglong Pavilion again?! What kind of trick is this Linglong Pavilion doing? The lord frowned, a little impatient, as if everything was pointing to Linglong Pavilion.

"My lord, Linglong Pavilion is a big family in Maji City, besides, it's not a matter of a day or two for them to do that kind of auction. However, this time it doesn't seem to be a small fight. The castle keeper's eyes rolled twice, and he said in a sly voice.

"Oh? What does this mean? The adult asked, turning his face.

"Adult, listen to some big people talking, this Linglong Pavilion, this time there is a treasure, and it is something that has never been seen before. This thing is very popular with the people in the palace, it seems to be called a diamond. The castle keeper's face was full of pride, and he waited for the adults to praise him for coming.

"Diamonds? What's so unusual about stones? "I don't blame this adult, I don't care about any jewelry and treasures on weekdays, but I like calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, so I can't hear these things.

"Adults don't know, this diamond is not even more powerful than jade gemstones! I heard that this thing is now only available to the nobles of Xiaocheng, and the price has to be doubled several times in the black market. I don't know why, Linglong Pavilion actually put the auction in Maji City. It's no wonder those people rushed to come, if this thing was in its hands, wouldn't it have been upgraded a few notches? "The head of the castle guard is the way, and the lord is really fooled.

"According to you, this incident is not only not a bad thing, but a good thing?" The adult sat down again and muttered.

"Of course! My lord, think about it, if this matter is done in our Maji City, then we can't rush out of the Nine Heavens in such a big city, don't all the big people in this capital pay attention to it? Besides, my lord is the mansion of this horse address city, which is a big achievement! The castle guard's words made the lord understand a little, and the distress and displeasure on his face gradually faded a lot.

"However, the imperial court personally ordered that it was strictly forbidden, and the entry and exit of the city gate must be strictly controlled, and no suspicious person should be released." The adult was still a little worried.

"My lord, the imperial court is only strictly controlled, those people are all going to Linglong Pavilion to participate in the auction, when the time comes, we will record the identity of the number of people in each family, and let people in and out according to this number. If someone really fishes in troubled waters, they will also bear this responsibility, my lord, you see, this method is good? "I'm afraid the castle guard has thought about it for a few nights, and this will solve his troubles fluently.

"It's—that's a trick." After hearing this, the adult nodded suddenly and replied with a smile.

"My lord, there is another way to make adults even happier." The castle guard's laughter began to become a little unnatural, even a little obscene.

"Oh?" After listening to the other party's method, this adult will also be hearted, and he will not feel less guarded against him.

"My lord thinks, so many people have to go into the city, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will be even more. Although this horse address city is not small, it can't let people come in inexplicably without prohibition! The castle guard winked at him.

"You mean - restrict them from coming in? What does this mean? "This adult is a little confused.

"My lord, we can ask these rich merchants to set the number of people who will come in first, and the rest will slowly wait in line to enter the city. First, this advanced person must be the leader of these people, and we will not offend them, and most of the rest are unimportant people. Second, if they are not satisfied with this number, they will not have to move around, and they will not lack these external things, but the gate of Maji City has not been renovated for a long time. The castle keeper said slowly, quietly.

"You mean, let them pay for a seat to enter the city?" This mansion usually studies calligraphy a lot, and it is really not as good as these people in this regard.

"The little one is just making a suggestion and wanting to share the worries of the adults. In this way, we will not offend those people, and we will not kill two birds with one stone if we carry out the orders of the court? "It's more than killing two birds with one stone, it's killing three birds with one stone.

"Yes, I'll leave this matter to you. If you do it well, this official will not lose you! Nafu Pavilion also smiled, although this idea was on the edge, it was indeed the best idea at the moment.

Those rich merchants and nobles are the food and clothing parents of Maji City, that is, his food and clothing parents! If they are really offended, they will have less relationship with Maji City in the future, and if they don't come and go, Maji City will be miserable. In this way, it is really good. Thinking of this, the lord sent the man away, and rejoiced to study his new calligraphy.

As soon as the day was about to end, a new notice appeared at the gate of the city.

"The adults of the mansion are worried that the mosquitoes outside the city are intolerant, and it is inconvenient for people to stay overnight. For the convenience of the people, the merchant houses registered the identity of the number of people entering at the gate, and then they could enter the city. If there is a person who takes advantage of it and fishes in troubled waters, he will bear all the consequences. ”

Everyone rushed over to see, they had been waiting at the gate of the city for most of the day, and seeing that the sun was about to set, there were still more and more people. I thought that I was going to spend the night outside this city gate, and my own masters were all kinds of dissatisfied, but I didn't expect that such an order would come out now, so as not to raise my feet and run to my master.

At this moment, the enthroned table was already occupied.

"The Gu family in Chengbei New County, twelve people."

"Huijia in Wei County, six people."

"Luobei Commercial Bank, twenty-one people."

"He family in Maji City, seven people."

"Don't worry, everyone, come one by one! Only four people can enter each family and each line! None of these four people have to pay a deposit of twenty taels! The castle guard, who was standing by at this moment, shouted loudly.

After a while, it caused a huge response.

"What, only four people can enter?"

"There are six masters in my family, and if you enter four, the remaining masters will stay overnight?"

"Four is too little!"

"No, no, no! At least ten! ”

"Listen to me, if everyone keeps arguing, no one will be able to get in today!" The castle guard thought that he was experienced, and he made the audience quiet with a word.

He was also proud in his heart, most of these people were noisy about the number of people who went in, but few people cared about the deposit of dozens of taels.

"The imperial court ordered a strict ban, and everyone must be strictly checked before entering and exiting in the past two days. Among them, there are many women and children wearing hats, so that everyone can make it convenient, and everyone should be grateful to the mansion adults. And it's not early, so everyone should discuss who will go in first. Otherwise, it will be dark and it will be too late. The castle keeper said to all the people around him with a grateful face.

It's not trivial for him to fool these people, after all, they are all errands and unimportant characters. These words also worked, and those little ones all pulled their legs and went to their masters, and some of the good ones began to register and pay the money in turn.

"Hey, aren't you Wang Hai? I? I'm Zhang Mazi from your hometown and across the river! Do you remember me? You only need three people here, and one for me, okay? ”

"Go, go!"

"Two taels of silver to collect the extra seats into the city!"

"Collect the extra number of people in three or two!"

After a while, this group of profiteers started to buy and sell, but there were more monks and fewer porridge, and even the vacant seats of one or two could not satisfy those big trading houses and big families.

"My lord, the small one is from Luobei Commercial Bank, and our master has something for me to sue my lord." At this moment, the city guard had already stood in the corner, and a man approached and whispered.

"Oh, Luobei Commercial Bank, what's the matter?" The city guard guessed in his heart what this person was here to do, but he pretended not to know about it.

"My master, thinking that the lord of the palace is so sympathetic to the people, I am moved, and the lord of the city guard is working hard, and I am still doing my best for the people when it is almost dark, and I am even more sighing. No, let the small ones send some food to others, so as to relieve the fatigue. The man secretly stuffed something in his arms directly into the palm of the other's hand.

The city guard grinned and put the thing into his sleeve, and glanced at it secretly, good guy, this ingot of silver must have dozens of taels. Cai Yiyi said in a righteous manner: "Thank you for your understanding, since Luobei Commercial Bank is also a big commercial house in my Maji City, it is not good to stay overnight like this." Well, let you in first. Still, those people's deposits—"

"Don't worry, my lord, our master has already prepared, this is the number and identity of Luobei Commercial Bank entering the city, this is the deposit." After saying that, the man blatantly put a silver ticket into his hand.

"Good, good! Come on—let the people from Luobei Commercial Bank go in first! The castle guard's mouth smiled from ear to ear, and he hurriedly commanded.

More than 20 people from Luobei Commercial Bank swaggered into the city in the eyes of everyone's surprise and envy, and when everyone reacted, the city guard was already full of people.

Compared with the madness gathered at the city gate, it is a lot colder here at this time.

"Master, I'm afraid that the mansion of this horse site city is crazy about money, and I have a bad idea at this time!"
