Chapter 658: Blackmailed?
Since Xiaohua and Wang Zhaojun had a verbal marriage contract, this girl seems to have grown up all of a sudden, and she wants to help no matter what she does! and Wang Zhaojun also fought and made trouble along the way, and the relationship became more and more harmonious, which made Yun Niang feel that the two were childhood sweethearts, and the relationship between the two was very good!
It's just that the little flower man is getting more and more shy, if you look at her twice, this girl's face will have to burn!
When they walked for nearly a month, the people in Qicheng had also come back to restore their lives, and after explaining the matter of Qicheng to Han Shuyan, they always felt that this matter was too smooth! Some of the smooth ones made him can't believe it.
But he also checked that except for the suspicious deaths of Guo Fengan and the Zheng family, there were no other clues! As if someone had deliberately erased it, Han Shuyan's face sank and he told them to be vigilant along the way.
Yun Niang and Xiaohua went to the river to wash rabbits and pheasants, because it was in the small river next to it, Han Shuyan looked at the surrounding position from a distance, so as not to make a mistake!
Mainly because of Qi Cheng's affairs, he had to be cautious, because the person who shot behind him didn't know, for them! It's a very bad thing.
Yun Niang smeared the chicken with seasoning, put it on the shelf and roasted it, Aunt Wu had already taken out the pot and stuffed two large pots of white rice, stir-fried a pot of rabbit meat and vegetables, and a pot of fish soup, and the big guy was about to eat it.
After all, this is no better in the wild than at home, where you can get more than ten or twenty dishes, plus there are many of them, so you can only cook a few big dishes to eat.
After dinner, Yun Niang and the others packed up the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the car, and everyone sat around the fire and talked, but Li Zhi and others were guarding around the Wang family.
Han Shuyan sat under a big tree, holding the sleeping Zibao in his arms, and let Yun Niang rest against him, while Yinhua rested in the carriage at night because of her body, except for Wu Zheng's family who had to take care of Yangyang and had to rest in the carriage, everyone else was willing to sleep outside the carriage.
After all, it is dog days, and although it is not as hot as the day, the inside of the carriage is still hotter than the outside, and you can sleep coolly on the mat outside the carriage.
These days, they have also become accustomed to Han Shuyan staying by Yun Niang's side, and even when Wang Dazhuang woke up in the middle of the night, he saw that the other party was helping Yun Niang and the child fight insects in the wild, Han Shuyan's attitude towards Yun Niang They also saw it, and everyone tacitly turned a blind eye.
Early the next morning.
Yun Niang and the others had breakfast before heading to the next town, and a few hours later arrived at a big city called Xuancheng!
Xuancheng is more prosperous than Qicheng, the buildings are slightly different, the roads are much wider, and even the ordinary people in the city are well dressed, and it is rare to see patched clothes.
Because Yun Niang and others had too many vehicles, when they entered the city, they were actually blackmailed by the arrester at the city gate to collect a shelving fee, which actually reached hundreds of taels, but they were kicked by Li Zhi on the spot! Flipped to the ground, and the two sides almost got into action.
"Who gave you the courage to enrich your own pockets in the name of the public and flesh the people? You know who we are, we don't know what to live or die for! ”
"You, how can you hit someone! The rule of our Xuancheng is that you have to pay a shelving fee to enter the city, and you have so many things in the city, not only taking up space! If something happens, we will have to trouble us, and we should take your money, if you don't give the money! Then don't even think about going into town! ”
The kicked catcher fell to the ground and sighed twice, and was helped up by the catcher next to him, and suddenly said a little timid and tough, which means that there is money to let them in.
There are two gates in the city gate of Xuancheng, one is for the common people, you only need to pay two cents to enter the city to buy and sell things, if there is a car, the price is not the same, you have to pay a penny, you have to pay three cents.
But that's just for ordinary people, and there is a slightly larger city gate next to it, but it is specially for caravans and carriages to enter and exit, and the cost of entering the city is definitely different from that of ordinary people! Ordinary caravans can still easily enter the city as long as they reward them with a small amount of money.
And there are some people who hold their own identities and throw a silver or two to them, which can solve a lot of troublesome things!
They have been catching fast for so many years, and their eyesight has long been trained! What kind of people are the wronged ones who should be slaughtered, and what kind of people are not the ones who should not be provoked! They have a scale in their hearts.
Especially the kind of people who are dressed and rich, as long as you stop and say that you have to pay a fee to enter the city, they will obediently give silver for the sake of identity and face! Even if it's offended? Anyway, it's not a big deal for them to lose a few taels of silver, and they may leave after entering Xuancheng, who still remembers this.
Over the years, they have also made enough oil and water in this area, and their courage has become bigger and bigger! Even drew up a list of the fees for entering the city gate, including capitation fees and shelving fees, but it made some ordinary people miserable.
This Xuancheng is also a third-rate city with a famous name, mainly because Xuancheng is closely related to this reader!
The reason why Xuancheng is called this name is because the ancestors of the Xuancheng Mo family invented rice paper, which is the best place to make the best rice paper in the entire Hanyue Dynasty, and even the pen and ink and other things are better than those in other places.
Although the Mo family is also a businessman, it is not an ordinary businessman, unlike the Wang family, who takes the official road!
The Mo family took the Confucian business route, with the attitude of establishing oneself and reaching oneself to survive in the world, and even the people in the door were all literate, regardless of men and women, they were all literate and hyphenated, the most famous of which was Mo Qianqiu, the daughter of the Mo family, but in the year of Xuancheng, the title of the first talented woman in Xuancheng became famous.
As long as you are a reader, you will know the name of the daughter of the Mo family in Xuancheng, Mo Qianqiu!
Therefore, most people in Xuancheng are people who read, and even ordinary people will grit their teeth and let their children read and write!
Reading and literacy has formed a strange circle for the people around Xuancheng!
If your child is not literate, he will be even more looked down upon and even ashamed than those who are illiterate in other towns!
This is just the idea that Yun Niang summed up after knowing the history of Xuancheng!
In the end, Xuancheng was nominated as Xuancheng because the Mo family was given the word by the emperor, just to commemorate that the great rice paper was produced by the Mo family!
But in the past few hundred years, Xuancheng, which was famous for its high talent, is no longer the Xuancheng it used to be, and it has become more and more unbearable! Not only because Xuancheng is a place to gather talents, but also because it is a necessary place for the south to pass through Shangjing, so that those who are greedy are entrenched in this side.
Especially the current government Yin, who is simply a dumb official and a corrupt official, has been cleverly setting up a name since he took office, and even wantonly amassed wealth, regardless of the life and death of the people! As long as the money is obtained, the guilty can become innocent, and the innocent can become guilty.
