Zhu Lin drank too much wine yesterday and didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning. Zhu Lin, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, hurriedly finished washing, drank a bowl of batter, and shouted Zheng Jiu and Chang Yulin to go out of the city from the east gate to see the army go out. When we reached the camp outside Sicheng, the army was gone, and there was not even a single log left.

Zhu Lin speechlessly walked towards the south gate with the two followers. The south gate of Sicheng is very lively, riding horses and sitting in sedan chairs, driving carriages, driving donkey carts, carrying burdens, pushing carts, carrying children and daughters, pulling pigs, and leading sheep. A sea of people. are all blocked outside the south gate.

Zhu Lin and his entourage were also blocked outside, and Zhu Lin looked at it, "Why are so many people entering the city?" The first two days this place was empty, except for the guards guarding the door, there were not so many people. Then he asked: "Brother Zheng Jiu, what's going on, why are there so many people."

Zheng Jiu replied: "Young Master doesn't know, these are the residents of the city who fled before the Liukou broke the city. Now that I got the news, I ran back again. After all, the ancestral property is still in the city."

"Oh, I see, it's a refugee back to the city."

Zhu Lin walked slowly with the crowd, the roar of adults, the cry of children, and the neighing of various livestock. There was a dog barking from her mother. Zhu Lin, who was noisy with all kinds of voices, made his head three times bigger. At this time, I saw a gong on the city wall, and someone at the head of the city shouted: "Those who ride horses and sit in sedan chairs, those who drive chariots, and those who bring livestock to the left, and the pedestrians stay on the right." Arrange up, in order to prevent the displaced people from entering the city, please bring the deed with you, and those who do not have the deed are prohibited from entering the city."

At this time, Zhu Lin panicked and asked Zheng Jiu if he had brought the deed, and Zheng Jiu told Zhu Lin that the deed should be on Uncle Zhu. But Zheng Jiu had a way to get into the city. Zhu Lin thought that he was talking about entering the city from the east gate, so he wanted to go outside, but how could it be so easy to walk. People are crowded, people are crowded, and they are small. What's more, Zheng Jiu told Zhu Lin that he couldn't enter the east gate even if he went to it, because the east gate was definitely closed. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people. I had no choice but to follow the flow in the direction of the city gate. After a period of panic, the flow of traffic and people separated.

Zhu Lin also quickly arrived in front of the city gate, and more than a dozen doormen wearing uniforms were checking there with straight knives on their waists. There was also a group of officials standing there with ruthless sticks in their hands, and there were many people squatting there in an open space behind the officials. Some still wear chains and shackles around their necks.

Under the cave of the city gate, a table was set up. An old man with a goatee and a blue silk longevity shirt sat there, holding a piece of paper and looking at it carefully. Next to the old man sat a fierce and vicious strong man, wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife in his arms. There was a chubby man standing in front of the table, nodding his head and smiling flatteringly. The old man read the paper and handed it to the strong man next to him, but the strong man didn't look at it, picked up the big seal on the table and stamped it with a "snap" and handed it to the fat man, shouting: "Hurry up, the next one."

The other two were lined up to Zhu Lin, and then Zheng Jiu walked in front of Zhu Lin and said, "I'll come."

The doorkeeper said to an old man in front of him: "You open the baggage, check it, hurry up and take out the title deed and go over there to register, what is it, go quickly." An old man said there: "Master Jun, you are so small that you are in a hurry, the deed is hidden at home, can you let me go over if you see the accommodation?"

The pawn said: "Let's be accommodating, how can I be accommodating with so many people, come, arrest them first."

At this time, two pawns ran out of the hole in the city gate, pulled the straight knife, put it on the old man's neck, and pulled it in front of the official holding the ruthless stick of water and fire next to him. The official rudely shook off the burden, and a few taels of silver, a few long robes, and a Taoist robe fell out. The servant picked up the silver, put it in his arms, and then rolled up the baggage, stuffed it into the old man, and said, "Get out of here, you old poor ghost." The old man just wanted to open his mouth and ask for the few taels of silver. An obscene official next to him waved the chains of "lala" and said, "Old poor ghost, go quickly." If you don't leave, you'll take people."

Zhu Lin trembled angrily and wanted to step forward, but Chang Yulin stopped him. Chang Yulin shook his head at Zhu Lin. Signaled Zhu Lin not to be too impulsive. The old man shook his head and walked into the city silently. In front of Zhu Lin was an eldest sister, leading a three- or four-year-old child with a baby in her arms. Walking up to the two pawns, one of them actually put a scabbard on the eldest sister's chin and picked it up, and said in a dry mouth: "This girl is quite peugeot." Say, where do you live in the city, do you have a deed? The eldest sister took a step back, avoiding the scabbard. said: "The folk girl has a house deed and lives in Dongcheng, and there are neighbors who live in Dongcheng who know the concubine." As he spoke, he took out the deed and handed it to the pawn next to him. The pawn took the deed and went to the bottom of the cave at the city gate. After a while, the pawn took the deed and ran over and said, "Okay, you can go." The eldest sister led the child into the city.

When it was time for Zheng Jiu, Zhu Lin and Chang Yulin followed Zheng Jiu and walked forward.

"Where are you together, where do you live in the city?" The pawn asked.

The pawn next to him looked at Zhu Lin and the three of them vigilantly, and the knife was halfway drawn, can you not be vigilant? Zheng Jiu is one meter eight tall, tall and strong, and wears a strong suit. has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and he has such a murderous aura on his body. In addition, I have been by the side of the handsome man for a long time, and there is also the temperament of a superior person. Zhu Lin is dressed like a son-in-law from a family, and there is a little guy behind him. Therefore, although the pawn was vigilant, he did not dare to do it.

Zheng Jiu replied: "No, the deed is placed on the old man at home, I came out of the east gate, and now I am back to the city, and my family lives in the east of the city."

"You can't enter the city without a deed, who knows if you are a homeless person." As he spoke, the two pawns pulled out their waist knives. to Zheng Jiu. Zheng Jiu said to Zhu Lin: "Young master stand back."

As soon as the words fell, I saw Zheng Jiuyi snatch the waist knife of one of the pawns in his hand, and then knocked out the knife of the other pawn, and the straight knife was put on the neck of the pawn. The speed was so fast, Zhu Lin didn't react.

"Put down the knife and spare you from death". Zheng Jiu said viciously. At this time, the guards under the cave of the city gate saw the change here, and ran over to form a circle. Even the man in the flying fish suit ran over.

"Put the knife down, put the knife down quickly, let him go". The guards shouted there. Zhu Lin, who was standing with Chang Yulin, broke out in a cold sweat.

"What kind of hero is this, don't pay attention to it, what's the matter, give the brothers a horse." The man in the flying fish suit said. As he spoke, he pulled out the embroidered spring knife, but his eyes kept glancing at Zhu Lin.

"Come here, I'll show you something." Zheng Jiu hooked his finger at the man in the flying fish suit and said.

"I'm over, don't think about leaving today, you thief, I've already asked someone to notify the garrison to bring the troops." As he spoke, he was going to arrest Zhu Lin.

"Whoever dares to touch my young master, I will destroy him." Zheng Jiu, who was roaring, didn't know where to take out a waist card and smash it on the body wearing the flying fish suit. The man in the flying fish suit originally wanted to catch Zhu Lin and blackmail Zheng Jiu. At this time, a waist card hit him and fell, he was stunned, just wanted to get angry, but looked down at the waist card, and hurriedly picked it up to take a closer look. Cold sweat instantly flowed all over his black face. turned his head and ran to Zheng Jiu to kneel down, and slapped his face violently. While smoking, he said: "Adult, the villain has no eyes and no beads, and offends the adult." Please raise your noble hand and let the little one go." The man in the flying fish suit watched there after drawing, and his hand holding the waist card trembled there again.

"My lord, you just called us thieves, didn't you? Can we go into the city? Now?"

"Yes, yes, that's all a misunderstanding." The man in the flying fish suit replied.

Zheng Jiu said and thrust the knife into the ground, pushed the door opener, walked to the flying fish suit in two steps, and took the waist card and put it in his arms.

walked up to Zhu Lin: "The young master is frightened, let's go into the city." Pulling Zhu Lin and walking towards the city. The doorman who was pushed open just now picked up the knife and raised it to Zheng Jiu, who was walking over, and was about to cut it down. I saw that the man in the flying fish suit who was kneeling on the ground had rushed over with lightning speed, and he jerked at the doorman with the knife.

"You're blind and dare to be rude to adults. As he spoke, he pushed the doorman aside and said, "Please enter the city, young masters." Stand aside respectfully. Zheng Jiu took Zhu Lin and Chang Yulin and walked towards the city with their heads held high. The gates were calm again, and the people looked numbly at what had just happened, and began to stream in again, enduring the exploitation of the gatekeepers.

The man in the flying fish suit called all the guards together and said: "Did those three people see their faces clearly just now, next time the trick is bright, don't draw a knife and fight, don't pull me if you want to die, tell those officials to let them keep their hands clean." You, go and inform the garrison, saying that it was a misunderstanding. Don't let him bring the troops here, I'll invite the garrison to eat and drink in the evening." The man in the flying fish suit pointed to one of the pawns. A doorman at the bottom asked, "My lord, what is the origin of that man who is so arrogant?" The man in the flying fish suit pointed to the sky with his finger as he walked to the table under the cave of the city gate. The doormen gasped and looked sadly at the doorman who had just raised the knife.

In the city, Zhu Lin and the three of them walked to the Zhu family's courtyard in the east of the city. The small courtyard of the Zhu family is located in the east of the city, and Zhu Lin and they enter from the south gate to wear half of the city. Zhu Lin asked Zheng Jiu, what kind of waist card was the waist card he got just now. Zheng Jiu only smiled and didn't answer. Then tell Zhu Lin that he will let the young master know when the time comes. But not right now. The city is already very lively now, much more lively than the previous two days. Along the streets of Nancheng stretches all the way to the cross street at the entrance of the prefect's yamen in the center of the city, and on both sides there are teahouses, wine shops, pawnshops, and iron shops, and some of them are already in business. The streets were crowded with people, and the people who had entered the city through the south gate were hurrying home from the alleys. Cheers and cries mingled. Why was there a cry? The exiles came into the city and sacked it, and when the army attacked it, they destroyed it. Some houses collapsed, and some of the property left behind was looted. It's no wonder you don't cry. The cheers must have been that the house property that remained was not much damaged. Surprised, cheered.
