The catcher obviously didn't expect that a kid in front of him who came out of nowhere would dare to confront him in front of him.

was stunned for a moment, with a look of annoyance on his face, and said angrily: "Are you a dog looking for death!" ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The four teenagers were furious.

They just sold a few bags of spurts in this bazaar, and they didn't do anything against the law, and they didn't provoke anyone, and even then, they had to be arrested so quickly.

Where in the world is there such a truth?

"Do you know that if you do this, according to the law of the Great Qian, you will be punished with thirty rods!"

Not to be outdone, Liu Bin looked at each other and said loudly.

As a small business expert, he obviously has a certain understanding of the law of the Great Qian.

However.

The catcher obviously didn't care about his threat, sneered, and said coldly: "Daqian Law? Here, Lao Tzu is the Great Dry Law! ”

When Liu Bin heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then his expression became extremely angry.

When he was in Chang'an, although he often made mistakes, he never violated the law of Daqian.

Because he knew in his heart that with Hai Rui staring, even if he was the son of the Hubu Shilang and violated the law of Daqian, he would be punished.

And then, in this place less than two hundred miles away from Chang'an, there was a catcher who regarded the law of Daqian as nothing.

It's really ...... Incredible!

"Do you know what kind of sin you should be guilty of in despising the law of Daqian like this, according to the law?"

Liu Bin stretched out his hand and pointed at the catcher, and his voice trembled a little.

Seeing that he mentioned the so-called Great Dry Law one after another, he felt inexplicable for a while, and said disdainfully:

"Lao Tzu thinks it's ridiculous when you hear what you say about the Great Dry Law! Lao Tzu will tell you again, here, what Lao Tzu said is the law of Daqian!

What did you just say about the new business tax, Lao Tzu doesn't understand! Lao Tzu only knows that if you sell goods here, even if you don't sell anything, you have to pay silver! ”

"You!"

Liu Bin pointed at the catch, his eyes were full of anger, but he couldn't do anything about him.

This time.

Qian Yong said in a deep voice: "We don't have silver, so what? ”

He glanced at him up and down, and said lightly: "It's easy to do, I see that your bags of prickly melons are still fresh, so let's stay." ”

At this moment, even the relatively calm Qian Yong couldn't help but grit his teeth.

They came all the way to this place to sell spurs, and they didn't even sell a single bag, so they even had to keep the stingers.

What's the difference between these catchers and bandits!

It is no exaggeration to say that they are even more hateful than bandits!

After all, the bandits originally relied on this to eat, unlike these fast catchers, who led the court's fortunes while looting the people's fat and ointment.

And he is so mad that he doesn't even let go of such a poor people!

Qian Yong took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and said, "A few of us are from Chang'an, if you let us go, we will never happen today." ”

When he heard this, he was stunned at first, and then said with a disdainful face: "Don't say that you are from Chang'an, even if you come out of the palace, you will still have to hand over the silver today!" ”

When Liu Bin heard this, he could no longer restrain the anger in his heart, and raised his voice and said, "Do you know who my father is!" ”

Catch Kuai glanced at him and said, "What?" Your mother didn't tell you? ”

“......”

Liu Bin was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what he meant, his face was flushed with anger, bloodshot eyes appeared, he stared at the catcher, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "My father is today's household waiter, and he is a member of the third grade!" If you dare to bully me today, I will tell my father what happened here, and I will have your good fruit to eat when the time comes! ”

"Your father is a member of the third grade?"

He glanced at him up and down, laughed, and sneered: "If you are the son of the household servant, then Lao Tzu is the son of the prime minister!" ”

“......”

The four teenagers leaned forward and fell back when they saw the catcher laughing, and their anger almost reached the extreme.

"Son of a bitch! I can't take it anymore! Hit him! ”

Sun Chao looked at the fast catcher in front of him, he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart anymore, and rushed up to beat the fast catcher.

Seeing this, Liu Bin hurriedly dissuaded: "Don't! According to the law, it is a great sin to attack and catch fast! ”

Sun Chao gritted his teeth and said: "As a fast catcher, he doesn't talk about the law of Daqian, we are bullied, and we have to talk about the law of Daqian, where is there such a truth in the world!" ”

After speaking, he no longer ignored the dissuasion and rushed forward.

The catcher reacted very quickly, and when he saw Sun Chao rushing up, he took out the long knife on his waist, put it in front of him, and shouted: "You kid dare to attack the catcher!" I want to die! ”

The sharp blade shone brightly in the sunlight.

Sun Chao's reaction was not slow, and when he saw him draw his knife, he stopped in a hurry.

However.

Regardless of whether he attacked him or not, he put the knife on Sun Chao's neck and called for other catchers.

Just a moment.

Two more trappers appeared at his side.

"These little puppies, if they want to attack the head of this catcher, they will all be brought back to the yamen!"

The catcher said coldly.

"Got it, Brother Zhao!"

When the other two catchers heard this, they all drew their knives and pointed at the remaining three teenagers and Xiao Aning, who was standing in place, helpless.

Qian Yong stared at the three catchers in front of him, and said coldly: "You will regret it!" ”

The three catchers were all disdainful, and said angrily: "Little puppy, it's you who should regret it!" ”

"Take it away!"

Order.

The four teenagers and Xiao Aning were all taken to the dungeon of the local yamen.

Whether it is the four teenagers or Xiao Aning, it is the first time in his life to enter the dungeon.

The dark and cramped environment inevitably makes people feel very depressing.

The pungent smell made the pampered teenagers gag again and again.

Now.

They sat on the dark, damp floor of the dungeon with their heads disheveled, looking extremely dazed.

Before that, they couldn't have imagined it anyway.

It's so difficult to sell just four bags of prickly melons!

First he was harassed by the local bullies, and then he was quickly arrested and made difficult.

Even so, none of the spurts could be sold.

If you want to exchange these thorn melons for a little silver, it will take more than two hours to run to Wangji Town in the distance, and it will take more than four hours to go back and forth, plus the time for setting up stalls and selling in the middle, it is almost a whole day.

I set out from the village before dawn, and I could only return to the village after dark, and I might not even be able to exchange the hard-earned silver for a bowl of white noodles.

At this moment.

The four teenagers finally understood what the "civil suffering" often mentioned in the book meant.

If it weren't for this experience, how would they know that the people's suffering is so painful!

"Hey......"

A sigh full of mixed emotions rang out in the dungeon, and I don't know which of the four teenagers made it.

"Brother, I want to go home, I want to ...... my grandfather"

Minutes and seconds passed.

Little Aning, who had taken a long time for the teenagers to soothe, began to cry again because of anxiety and fear.

"Don't cry, after a while, my brothers will take you home and take you to your father."

Sun Chao saw that Xiao Aning was crying pitifully, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly opened his mouth to comfort.

Little Aning was still just crying.

Tired, hungry, frightened, restless...... All kinds of emotions were added to a half-grown child who had never seen the market, making her cry uncontrollably.

After a while, the impatient voice of the jailer was heard outside.

"Cry, cry, cry! Cry again and throw you into the river! ”

As soon as this remark came out.

The four teenagers looked even more angry.

Half a month of getting along day and night has long made them accept this little pitiful who is lively and cute in front of acquaintances and timid and cowardly in front of strangers.

Even if she doesn't think of her as his sister, it's not much worse.

At this moment, who could bear to hear that the jailer was going to throw his sister into the river!

"You!"

Sun Chao stood up and wanted to reason with the jailer.

Before he could speak, he was stopped by Liu Bin.

"It's useless, and if you say it, it will only anger those dog-like things."

"We obviously didn't do anything, we just wanted to sell a few bags of thorn melons, they deceived people too much!"

Sun Chao's face was filled with righteous indignation, and he gritted his teeth and said: "They are so oppressive and kind, and they arrest people indiscriminately, it's the first time I've seen them grow so big!" ”

"In our mansion, when we face the people, we have always been kind and pleasant, even if it is not pleasant, they are not so wanton and arrogant!"

Among the four, only Sun Chao is from other places and is the son of a businessman from a certain prefecture in Huizhou.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the catchers he had encountered before.

Although not everyone is pleasant, they will never bully the people at will like the fast hunting here!

"How do you know that they are kind to the people?"

At this time, Liu Bin looked at Sun Chao and asked.

Sun Chao opened his mouth, just about to explain.

Before he could speak, he heard Liu Bin say: "They are kind and pleasant in front of you, but what is your identity?" The son of the biggest local businessman!

Those who are about to take advantage of your father will naturally be kind to you, but what about ordinary people? Not necessarily. ”

Liu Bin still looked like a young man and an old man, and said slowly.

When Sun Chao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then fell into thought.

Soon he realized that Liu Bin was right.

Catch him quickly and pleasantly, just because he wants to take advantage of his father.

But I don't know if it is also kind to other people.

Perhaps, their local arrest is faster, and they treat the poor people more wantonly and arrogantly than the people here!

"I thought I could earn hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver with a little bit of silver, because I was gifted and had such a brain!

Now I know that I relied on my father, and without my father, I would be nothing, I couldn't do anything, let alone earn money, and it would be difficult to even support myself. ”

Liu Bin's expression was complicated, and he said leisurely.

When the other three teenagers heard this, they all showed signs of approval.

Even Qian Yong's expression changed to a certain extent.

In the past half a month, what he has experienced is enough to subvert all his previous concepts.

Before coming here, he thought he had seen through the red dust.

Since you can't do what you like, that is, lead the troops to fight.

It's better to spend this life in a chic and leisurely way.

Life is short, instead of burying your head in hard study and mixing fame, it is better to have fun in time and play the world.

But here we are.

He gradually discovered that there seemed to be something more worthy of effort in life than leading troops to fight and playing in the world.

Quite simply, it is to let these poor people eat.

Because I have been hungry, I know how uncomfortable it is to be hungry.

After being bullied, I realized how desperate I was when I was bullied.

I don't know why.

Qian Yong suddenly thought of what Mr. had said when he was in class at the academy before.

Call...... Why and what, why and what.

He couldn't remember exactly what it was.

I only know the approximate meaning, to read for the saints, for the people, and for the court.

At the time, he was dismissive of it.

Now, I feel extremely recognized.

"Brother, when will you be able to go home?"

Xiao Aning, who had cried for a while, had red and swollen eyes, looked up at the four teenagers, and asked pitifully.

The four teenagers soothed a few words and fell silent.

Because they themselves don't know when they'll be able to leave this hellish place.

"When are you going to let us go!"

Sun Chao grabbed the wooden fence of the dungeon, looked at the jailer in the distance, raised his voice, and asked loudly.

"I want to leave if I don't pay the money when I go to the dungeon! You're really beautiful enough! ”

The jailer scoffed, disdainful.

Hear this.

The teenagers chuckled in their hearts.

Sun Chao's face was anxious, and he said, "Where did we get the money to hand it over to you!" ”

The jailer said lightly: "It's none of my business!" ”

When Sun Chao heard this, he became even more anxious: "How can this be good, you can't be locked up here all the time." ”

There was silence for a few breaths.

Qian Yong finally stood up and said, "You send me a message to Liji Village, tell the new man in the village, say that Qian Yong and they are locked up in the dungeon, and I will give you five taels of silver afterwards!" ”

When the jailer heard this, he was stunned at first, then looked at Qian Yong, frowned, and said, "What did you say?" ”

Qian Yong repeated what he had just said.

When the jailer heard this, he looked disdainful, and said coldly: "You little rabbit cub from the village, have you ever seen five taels of silver?" Do you know how much you can buy for five taels of silver? ”

Qian Yong was silent for a few breaths, and said, "If you take a closer look, do we seem to have come out of the village?" ”

The jailer looked Qian Yong and the others up and down for a while, and found that they seemed to be indeed different from those teenagers in the village.

After hesitating for a while, I finally agreed.

"Okay, after the word arrives, if you dare to repay the debt, Lao Tzu will lead someone to break your legs!"

After that, the four teenagers did not sleep much throughout the night.

It was Xiao Aning, because of exhaustion, curled up in Qian Yong's arms and fell asleep.

Following.

After a long wait.

The door to the dungeon opens again.

A man in a cloth coat walked in.

When Qian Yong saw him, his face showed joy, and he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said, "You are finally here!" ”

The man looked at him, confirmed that he was a student of the T-shaped class, looked at the jailer, and said lightly, "I don't know them." ”

When Qian Yong heard this, his expression instantly froze, and the whole person was stunned!
