Chapter 276: Investigation (2)
Lan Wen immediately understood, looked around, and found a beggar lying on the ground, immediately dismounted, came to the beggar's side, threw the beggar a silver coin, then stripped off the beggar's clothes, put it on himself, then wiped a layer of dirt on his face, picked up a broken bowl and a bamboo pole, and limped towards the gate of Dahula.

As we got closer to the Dahun Gate, there were more and more pedestrians.
Lan Wen blended in with the crowd, moving slowly forward with the flow of people.
At this time, Aaron noticed that whether entering or leaving the city, each citizen was holding a white card in his hand, on which a line of words was densely written, but he could not see what was written.
I don't know what it's written on, and I don't know if it can be faked.
Suddenly, there was a scolding from ahead, followed by a cry of pain.
Lan Wen wanted to reach out and see what was going on, but the crowd also became crowded just as she was screaming, and Lan Wen's body moved back and forth with the flow of people, losing control.
"Look, damn, look at all your entry and exit passes. One soldier said viciously.
The crowd of onlookers involuntarily took two steps back, and Lan Wen took advantage of this opportunity to squeeze to the front.
An old man in his sixties was lying on the ground, curled up, his forehead already smashed with blood.
Beside him, a soldier with a horsewhip struck the old man severely.
"Stop fighting, woo woo ......"
The old man held his head and groaned in pain, and the people around him looked at the old man sympathetically, but no one dared to say a word at all.
The soldier only stopped after a dozen beatings and yelled at the dying old man: "You dare to use a fake entry and exit card, you are looking for death." If I run into you next time, be careful of your dog's life, get out of here now!"
Hearing the soldier's words, Lan Wen swept his gaze to the ground, and sure enough, he saw a white card beside the old man.
The old man struggled to get up from the ground, and just after taking a step, he fell to the ground again.
The soldier flicked his whip and walked towards the old man.
Lan Wen hurriedly ran to the old man, touched the old man's nostrils, and when he saw that he was still breathing, he immediately said to the soldier with a sneer: "The military master is angry, I will carry this old man away......
"Get out, the old beggar meets the little beggar, and you are all bad luck when I see you. And, little beggar, listen, this is not the place where you can come, and I will let you see you again, and I will let you taste my methods. ”
The soldier looked at Lan Wen with vicious eyes and said viciously.
"Yes, yes, Master Jun, I remember. Lan Wen hurriedly picked up the old man and left the city gate in a hurry.
Aaron and Rice were waiting at the city gate, and found that it was not long before the city gate suddenly became commotion, and it didn't take long for Lan Wen to run over with an old man on his back.
Lan Wen laid the old man flat on the ground, his eyes closed, and the blood on his forehead kept flowing down his cheeks.
Aaron quickly tore the cloth off his clothes, and then wiped the blood off the old man's body. Because there were too many pedestrians in the past, Aaron couldn't use healing magic on the old man on the avenue, so he could only perform a simple bandage.
"What the hell is going on?" Aaron tore his coat into strips of cloth and wrapped up the old man's wounds.
Lan Wen recounted what had happened, and Aaron's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Knockoffs?"
This is a good idea, and if you use a fake entry and exit pass, you can fish in troubled waters and sneak in.
However, this method also has a drawback, he has not seen the so-called entry and exit permits, and there is no way to imitate it.
"Sir, I picked up that impostor. Lan Wen took out a white card from his bosom and handed it to Aaron.
Aaron was overjoyed and took the card, only to see a line written on it: "Dahongla City Residents Entering and Exiting the City Security Defense Certificate". Next is the number, and after the number there is another name, Alec.
The cards are heavy and should be made of pieces of iron.
"Isn't that an impostor? It's the real thing. ”
The old man didn't know when he sat up, but after saying these words, his expression immediately withered, as if he had lost his soul.
"But now it's just an ordinary piece of iron. ”
The old man spoke.
Aaron looked at the piece of iron and saw the name behind the number: "Old man, your name is Alec?"
The old man nodded: "That's right, it's my name written on it." ”
"Mr. Alec, since this card is real, why don't they let you in?" Aaron handed the card back to Alec.
Alec showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "I don't have the money to pay for the use of the certificate, and this card is a waste card." ”
"How much are you going to pay?" Aaron asked.
"One silver coin a month...... I've sold everything I can before, and I really don't have any money......" Alec was full of sorrow and wanted to cry without tears.
"These brutes are simply moths and vampires!" Lan Wen said viciously.
Aaron waved his hand, stopping Lan Cowen's cursing, and continued to ask Alec, "What if you don't pay?"
"Don't pay? That's just like me, just thrown out as garbage. Actually, my appearance is no different from garbage, it's just that I can't go back to my home, and my heart hurts. ”
Aaron nodded, but still had a question in his mind: "How do they know that you haven't paid?"
Alec looked at Aaron with suspicion and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"
"What are you doing? ”
Aaron rubbed his nose, not expecting his question to arouse Alec's suspicions.
After a short period of thought, Aaron took out two silver coins from his pocket: "Old man, if you tell me the reason, I can give you two silver coins?"
Alec's eyes widened, and he looked at Aaron with an expression of disbelief, and was silent for half a minute before the old man spoke.
"Because if you don't pay the money, the number and name on the card will be recorded, and there will be no way to escape......"
Aaron touched his chin: "Then you must have lived a hard life, right?"
Alec was silent, and it was clear that Aaron's question hit his sore spot.
"I don't know how much your lord can make a month? Aaron continued.
Lan Wen stared at Aaron with wide eyes, not understanding why Aaron asked like this, the answer to this question had already been given in Cameron's intelligence, and their lord Edwin had been controlled.
"No, our lords wouldn't do such inhuman things. It was all Droff's idea. Three or four months earlier, Edwin had suddenly been imprisoned, and then began his murderous reign. I heard that it was because of the assassination of Duke Mitulin that led to this series of events. Alas, we ordinary people are not interested in who is the lord, we just want to live in peace......"
Having received the information he wanted, Aaron thanked Alec and paid Alec two silver coins, and the old man held the two silver coins tightly and walked towards Dajunla.
