Chapter 149: Stealing Official Silver.
"No, I'm just thinking, Yuyang City is not rich, how can the city lord have 100,000..."
Yao Nian hurriedly waved his hand, but was stopped by the old man before he finished speaking, "Shhhhhh ”
He lowered his voice and said cautiously, "I heard that the city lord is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Sun, and how many of them in the officialdom can be clean." ”
"It's good if you don't take it, don't be afraid if you don't take it, hurry up and enter the city, the city gate will be closed at night." After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hand and left.
Yao Nian went back and told the old man's words to the statement as they were.
"I really didn't expect that Sun Qinshou had so much silver in his hand, but fortunately we didn't take it." He was impressed.
Yao Nian also nodded, thinking of something, she still said uneasily, "Let's ask, just in case." ”
Chen Qian should be good.
"Everybody listen to me." He cleared his throat and shouted, "We are now outside Suizhou City, everyone has seen it, these people are searching for lost official silver!" ”
After Chen Qian finished speaking, his eyes swept to the few people who had taken the official silver, "Yuyang City has lost 100,000 official silver, I hope everyone understands that it is a felony to privately possess official silver, and it is necessary to be killed, if you really have it in your hands, it is better to hand it over as soon as possible!" ”
Those people shook their heads, indicating that they didn't take it at all.
"Did you really not take it?" Chen Qian asked again.
"If you don't take it, you don't take it, you don't believe it! Since you don't believe it, we still ask what to do over and over again? ”
"That's it, look, everything is almost blown away by the wind, what else can there be, is there any silver in it?"
Those people were not happy, and they turned over their burdens and threw them on the ground, and their breath was very bad.
Chen Qian didn't care, he scanned it with his eyes, and saw that it was all some clothes or something, so he spoke, "I'm also doing it for everyone's good, just in case." ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yao Nian, "Okay, we can pass the level." ”
Yao Nian nodded.
The group walked towards the checkpoint in a majestic manner, which naturally attracted the attention of those soldiers.
They looked at each other and talked for a long time before they caught up.
"Stop!" The one who spoke was the eldest of several people, named Wang Kun, with a beard on his face and eyes as small as mung beans.
"Where did you come from, so many of you? What are you doing in Suizhou? ”
Chen Qian stepped forward and bowed with his fists in his fists, "This big brother, we are from Taoyang, Taoyang City is dry all year round, and there is really no way to live, so we want to go to Shuzhou to find a way to live." ”
As soon as Wang Kun heard him say this, he squinted his eyes and looked behind him, and sure enough, there were all the old, weak, sick and disabled, so he didn't doubt it.
But routinely, the process still has to go through again.
"Refugees, huh? Did you hear about Yuyang City? We are also on other business, no one can let go, if we want to enter Suizhou City, we have to search one by one! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the thin man beside him whispered, "Big brother, it's almost dark this day, when are so many people going to search one by one, I see that they are wearing tatters, I'm afraid they won't hide official silver privately, why don't we just spot check a few people, right?" ”
As soon as his words fell, the other fat man retorted, "Bold! This is something to be checked from above, 100,000 official silver can't be recovered, be careful of your head, in case there is a mistake, there are really people in these people who are secretly hidden, and the government is to blame, how many heads do you have enough to cut off? ”
The thin man choked and was immediately silenced.
Wang Kun slapped the fat man's head and said sharply, "What he said makes sense, so many people, when will they be searched one by one?" ”
"But big brother," the fat man whispered, covering his head, "in case one of them is really hidden..."
"Do you see that they are dressed in tatters one by one, hungry and yellow-skinned, and they can't even eat enough, as if they have hidden official silver?"
The fat man wanted to say something, but Wang Kun was so frightened that he closed his mouth.
Wang Kun coughed dryly twice, and straightened his expression, "I also know that you are refugees fleeing the famine, it is not easy, I will just take a few people from you out and search, if not, I will let you pass." ”
Chen Qian nodded, "Thank you, big brother." ”
"You, you, you, okay, you five come up." Wang Kun raised his face and nodded five people proudly.
Yao Nian stood aside and watched, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
Among the five people, Liu San was also selected.
His hair was messy like a chicken nest, and after being hit by Wang Kun, the whole person seemed to have a tremor disease, and his legs trembled and trembled.
His appearance is really suspicious, Wang Kun originally wanted to check it hastily, but seeing his appearance, his face was a little more vigilant.
"Bring him here!" Wang Kun pointed at Liu San.
The fat man sighed and hurriedly dragged the person over.
"What are you shaking?" Wang Kun asked him.
When Liu San saw that he was so close to him, the fear in his heart was even greater, and his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.
Wang Kun couldn't wait, and kicked him down impatiently, "Search his body for me!" I'd like to see what he's shivering about! ”
"Don't, don't, let go of me, let go of me!" Liu San struggled like crazy, but he was sat on his waist by the fat man, sitting so tightly that he couldn't move at all!
The thin man also stepped forward to help, tore his clothes and searched up and down, and when he took off his pants, he only heard the sound of a bell, and a silver ingot fell to the ground.
Yao Nian's heart fell, and his head was empty for a moment.
"Yo yo yo." Wang Kun subconsciously touched the knife pinned to his waist, and looked condescendingly at the silver ingots on the ground.
The fat man's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly picked it up and handed it over, "Big brother, you see, it's the official silver of Yuyang City, and even the official seal is the same." ”
Wang Kun took a look, and sure enough.
His face froze on the spot, and he waved his big hand, "Come on, all of them will be arrested in the prison and decided by the government lord, fortunately, you kid was drawn, otherwise you would have let your group run away today!" ”
As soon as he said this, the soldiers in the city wall also ran out in an orderly manner, holding large knives in their hands and surrounding them.
Chen Qian's face darkened suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "Is there a mistake, he took this official silver, it has nothing to do with us, what are you doing with us?" ”
Wang Kuncai didn't want to listen to his explanation, so he grabbed the silver in his big hand and sneered, "I almost deceived you, and I pretended to be a refugee, daring to steal official silver, waiting to be beheaded!" ”
"Take it all!"
Crowds of soldiers pressed their arms to the ground, begging for mercy and cries of pain.
When it was Yao Nian's turn, she subconsciously glanced back, Bai Jin had disappeared, not even Yu Sang.
Yao Nian lost her mind for a moment, and at this moment, there was a sharp pain in her neck, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she fell softly and lost consciousness.
The fat man smiled, looked at the person in Wang Kun's arms, and said bluntly, "It's still the eldest brother who is prescient, it just so happens that the lord of the mansion has been covered recently, and finding such a beauty, the eldest brother must be a great achievement." ”
Wang Kun raised his chin, pinched Yao Nian into his armpit, and shook it twice, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but be proud, "Of course, it's indispensable to follow the eldest brother." ”
"Yes, yes, yes."
