This turn of events caught Tang Mingyi a little off guard, and he said in surprise: "Enter the city? ”

The city gate officials answered, and explained to them some matters that needed attention in the city.

It can be seen in the words that they are not like other homeless people, there is no need to go to the square every day to report routinely, and there is no restriction on movement.

And when he had said that, the gatekeeper was to go back to the gate and go to the city gate to do his business again.

"Your Excellency." Tang Mingyi couldn't interrupt in the middle, and barely listened, and when he saw that he was leaving, he hurriedly stopped him, "Why did you bring us here?" ”

The city gate official thought that he was unrelenting and wanted to ask himself for an explanation, but he was not offended, so he cursed a few words in his heart, but said in his mouth: "The inspection process is a bit cumbersome, and now it is no longer in the way, and I have been waiting for this for a while." ”

Seeing this, Tang Mingyi had no choice but to say, "It's okay", but where would he give up, and made a gesture to his guards.

"Let's go out with the adults." The subordinates understood the meaning and hurriedly took two steps forward, but they were in a hurry, and they only heard the sound of "dang chang", and everyone looked at the place where the sound came from, but a dagger was falling on the ground.

The scene was quiet for a while, and Tang Mingyi and the three of them each pretended to be embarrassed. The gatekeeper glanced at each of the three men's faces, then took a deep breath and turned back to pick up the dagger.

"You still have a murder weapon? That's all? The gatekeeper asked.

Tang Mingyi and the other person were "helpless", so they had to take off the dagger from their waists and hand it to the city gatekeeper, although they handed it over, they still explained: "My lord, I'll wait ...... it."

The gatekeeper didn't know what was going on in his mind, but raised his hand to stop him: "I know, this dagger is meticulously worked, and it should be worth a good price." ”

Tang Mingyi's heart turned around a few times, thinking that he should always have a suspicion after this, right? It's just that the city gate official said strange things, but it was not the answer he wanted, but he had to reluctantly respond.

But he saw that the gate official had read the dagger over and over again, and said, "Wait a minute." Then he turned and went out.

Tang Mingyi put his mind at ease, Such an obvious problem, if they can still be allowed to enter the city, this public test is really useless.

The three of them were speechless, and waited for a while, only to see the city gate official who was alone and hurriedly turned back, and actually handed the dagger back to the three of them: "After waiting for a long time, since it is a weapon, it is necessary to make a simple registration." I want you to flee all the way, even such a good dagger capital to sell, it is really not easy, be careful to put it away, if you sell weapons, you can go to Nanshi to find a way. ”

"For sale?" Tang Mingyi couldn't have imagined that he would think so.

"Isn't it?" The city gatekeeper said without being salty.

Tang Mingyi couldn't say that he was a villain, so he had to respond.

In this case, the gatekeeper did not want to delay any longer, and no matter how frightened the three men were, they fled and left the dormitory.

The three of them turned the tide absurdly, and they didn't even know what to do for a while, after all, they couldn't really make a fuss, which would make people suspicious. Now that we've passed the test, there's no other way to do it.

"Childe......" one of the attendants stepped forward and called.

Tang Mingyi didn't know what the city gate officials were coming and going for, but he was obviously not happy, but the Tongcheng officials were too confused, and said "Let's go" with a calm face, and then walked out of the dormitory first.

However, the three of them didn't go far, and just out of sight of the guards at the city gate, the one who had just been outside the city gate to be a guarantor saw an opportunity to meet them.

Tang Mingyi didn't want to entangle with him, and wanted to go to the other side, but the man came over again without skin and face, and the entourage saw that he was going to lean in front of Tang Mingyi, and immediately stopped him.

The man stood still and said, "I'll just say that a few people are not good to enter the city, right?" ”

"Aren't we called Entering the City now?" Tang Mingyi didn't look at him, and said unhappily.

The man added, "That's a joke." Naturally, I entered the city, I didn't look at a few valuables, and I wanted to deal with it, so I asked the city gate to be accommodating. ”

Tang Mingyi suddenly said: "It's your hands and feet." ”

The man smiled and deserved to admit it.

It turned out that the gatekeeper was not foolish and afraid, but had such a collusion with this man.

It's just that this person's unprovoked help made Tang Mingyi vigilant, so he asked, "Why did you help us enter the city?" ”

"Didn't you just say it, let's deal with it." The man replied.

Tang Mingyi looked at his virtue and was a little depressed: "How are you going to deal with this?" ”

"Don't think about it too much, let's meet in Pingshui, there are no things that drag mud and water, since I have helped a few, it is natural to help to the end." The man said, rolled up his sleeves, and made a gesture asking for money unabashedly, "I just made that point, it's just a verbal entrustment, and there is no actual profit, I'll help run this trip again, so that people can get what they deserve, and we have a good end between us, and a few people live in the city, so they can rest assured, right?" ”

I still want money, and I'm tied up in it. Tang Mingyi listened to the absurdity, but laughed: "Since we have already entered the city, of course, I don't know if it is your means." Besides, I told you earlier, What if we can't afford to pay for it? ”

The man was not annoyed when he heard this, and his tone did not change, but he said: "It doesn't matter, since a few people have entered the city, they are the population with an identity and a guide, and they will be under the control of the government office. When the time comes, whether you go to prison or become a slave, it will hurt your dignity somewhat, right? ”

Tang Mingyi said angrily: "This Tongcheng government is actually in charge of you?" ”

"That's a big deal." The man said, "Isn't it natural to pay off debts?" ”

Tang Mingyi didn't doubt the truth of his words, since these people could be allowed to take advantage of the loopholes in Tongcheng, and this person dared to bring them in first, he would definitely not trade at a loss.

If he really did what he said, it would be easy to reveal his identity and cause unnecessary trouble, so he had to act expediently for the time being and deal with them in the future.

"I've already told you outside the city gate, I'm waiting for the refugees all the way here, how do you know that we can afford this money?"

The man said with a shy face: "The appearance of a few people is of course different from that of ordinary homeless, and we should still have this vision for this kind of business." ”

At this point, Tang Mingyi was helpless, so he had to ask his entourage to take out the money bag and count out one hundred and fifty taels of silver ingots and hand them to him.

The man took the money, took the small scale from his waist, and weighed it carefully, and the amount was neat.

Tang Mingyi acted by himself, and walked with two entourage guards. But before he could take a few steps, he heard the man come up from behind and say "Wait", in a serious tone, which was completely different from Fang Cai.
