Chapter 353: Arbitrary Charges
The news that Zhang Lu killed Liu Zhang has also slowly spread. Now Liu Bei, who is near Sichuan and Shu, also heard these news, and his mood is particularly complicated. According to the information he received, it was Cao Wei's army that sent troops together.
In this way, wouldn't I have no chance?
Although he is Uncle Liu Huang, what is the use of this title?
Now the world is in chaos, and the virtuous live in it.
On this day, Liu Bei kept drinking in the hotel.
In the evening, staying at the inn, he was thinking about his next plan.
Suddenly, the sky was overcast, and suddenly a wind blew.
When he went to close the window, a sudden wind blew in him, causing him to shake and almost fall.
And then a lot of rain fell.
He finally closed the window.
He felt that his current situation was like this hellish weather, full of wind and rain.
Lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep, and he suddenly remembered Guan Yu.
It is said that now Guan Yu has taken root in Youzhou, and he is still haunted by it.
Is Guan Yu temporarily perfunctory in Xi Yu, or is he really tempted by high-ranking officials and Houlu?
He suddenly wanted to see Guan Yu, and he was going to Youzhou tomorrow to have a good talk with the other party.
On the other side, Wen Xuan, who lived in the inn, had been thinking about how to get close to Xi Yu.
If it really doesn't work, use the most primitive method, which is to write a letter.
told Xi Yu that he was also a traverser, but it was a little inappropriate to think about it.
Just when I was having dinner today, Wen Xiaocui also specially asked, why do you have to see Xi Yu?
I just want to test what Miss thinks.
Is it really interesting to play Yu in the relationship between men and women?
But Wen Xuan did not answer positively.
Early the next morning, Wenxuan got up.
Wen Xiaocui asked, "Miss, are you going to go outside for a while today?" ”
"You girl, don't you always like to play outside? Why did you offer to go outside today? ”
"Because I see that the people live and work in peace and contentment in this Youzhou, which is very good, I have the desire to play."
"Okay, then let's just hang out."
While the two of them were wandering, there were two old women walking in front of them.
"I heard that the Longhua Temple in front of me, where the Buddha is particularly effective, I want to go there to worship, I hope that my old man's illness will get better soon."
"yes, you're right to go there."
The two of them walked quickly.
Wen Xiaocui said, "Son, or let's go and take a look." ”
Wen Xuan nodded, before he crossed over, he had been very fond of Buddhism before.
When the two women arrived at Longhua Temple, they happened to see Ouyang Linlin also riding a bicycle with Xiaohong.
Wen Xiaocui felt special envy.
"Childe, I didn't expect this young lady to ride a bicycle so well."
Wen Xuan nodded and did not speak.
But she thought to herself, if I had ridden, I would have ridden better than her.
Soon, the four of them walked into the temple together.
This temple is particularly large.
And there are several futons, and all four people will not be affected if they kneel down.
And the strange thing is that when they finished worshipping the Buddha, they also stood up at the same time, as if they had come together.
Xiaohong suddenly became vigilant.
These two men can't be aimed at them, are they?
So, she looked at the two of them with very unfriendly eyes.
Ouyang Linlin didn't care about it, but suddenly saw her eyes and understood what was going on, so she signaled her not to be nosy.
The four of them walked out together, and suddenly saw two soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the temple.
Strangely, there were no soldiers here when I first arrived.
And two dignitaries also entered the temple, but the two soldiers made them pay.
"Why do we pay, we usually worship the Buddha here, so there is a saying that we pay?"
"It used to be before, but now we have to pay, and we collect it for the show. Recently, the western workers have to fight wars, and they need to enrich their military expenses, so those who come to worship the Buddha must donate. ”
The dignitaries and nobles who came looked at each other, there was such a thing, why hadn't they heard of it?
"When did this happen?" One person asked.
"Just this morning, the drama just gave the order, do you want to be suspicious?"
Moreover, the soldier also specifically said an amount, and the dignitary didn't care about the money, so he finally paid it.
Wen Xiaocui said to Wen Xuan in a low voice: "I didn't expect that this drama Yu is also a blackmailer, miss, in vain you still think so highly of him." ”
Wen Xuan didn't speak.
But Ouyang Linlin said: "Why didn't I know about this? ”
The two soldiers turned their heads and immediately saw her.
One of them said, "Fortunately, you came early, but our brother has just stood guard here, and if you come a little late, you will naturally have to pay." ”
Ouyang Linlin pinched her waist with both hands and asked, when was this order, why didn't she know?
"You chick? What do you mean by that? Do you want to tell you when the drama prince gives an order? ”
Those dignitaries and nobles saw Ouyang Linlin administering justice for them, and they were grateful.
However, he persuaded Ouyang Linlin not to say anything.
They can still afford this little money.
The soldiers said that there was a fee not only in the temple, but also in other public places.
All this is to enrich military spending.
Xi Yu is very good to the people, so it is normal for the people to repay him a little.
At the same time, they accused Ouyang Linlin of being really unconscionable.
"I see that you are also a young lady from a rich family, if it weren't for the drama father, you might have been beaten away by others a long time ago, and your property may have become someone else's, don't you have a little gratitude to the drama father?"
Ouyang Linlin trembled with anger, and actually buttoned herself such a big hat.
Wen Xuan was also very curious, so he just stood on the side, although Wen Xiaocui wanted her to leave quickly.
"Don't talk nonsense here, the contribution made by the opera to everyone is obvious to all, but the little woman believes that the opera will never be such a person, and he will not send people to collect the people's money privately."
Ouyang Linlin swore to fight to the death, and he didn't know when it would start, since he trusted Xi Yu so much.
Xi Yu's image in her heart has become taller and taller.
"Stinky girl, it seems that you are looking for death." Two soldiers were ready to get their hands dirty.
Ouyang Linlin said: "I will try if you move it, if it is known by the drama master, be careful to pick your skin." ”
The two soldiers immediately took their hands back, listening to what this girl meant, did she know Xi Yu?
"Stinky girl, what do you mean by that?"
"Why, don't you dare?"
"What do you mean? Do you really know the drama gong"? A soldier asked tentatively.
Before Ouyang Linlin could speak, Xiaohong pointed to the bicycle and said, "You should know what this thing is, right?" ”
"Of course we know each other, it's a bike."
"It's good to know, the bicycle is produced in our Ouyang family, and she is the eldest lady of the Ouyang family."
Upon hearing this, the two soldiers were a little frightened.
Wen Xuan, on the other hand, felt very happy.
I originally planned to know Xi Yu, but this time through the young lady of the Ouyang family, didn't it come naturally?
"So I want to ask, is this really what the drama meant"?
In fact, Ouyang Linlin couldn't confirm whether this was the meaning of the joke.
But she saw the eyes of the two soldiers just now, which was a little unnatural, so she had such doubts.
"Of course, this is what the drama meant, since you are very familiar with the drama father, you should be able to inquire about it."
As soon as one of the soldiers finished speaking, he lowered his head.
At this moment, Ouyang Linlin was even more sure that they were lying, that is, they were charging privately.
Even the identity of their soldier is estimated to be fake.
"Xiaohong, since that's the case, then, you go back and ask the drama father, if you are humble and can't see the drama father, why don't you go back and tell my father, let my father find a way to inform the drama father, I want to ask clearly, what the hell is going on."
Xiaohong doesn't know what's wrong with Miss today, why do you have to care about this matter?
In fact, she also saw that there was something wrong with these two soldiers.
In fact, Ouyang Linlin had some joy in her heart.
She hopes that in this way, she can get closer to Xiyu.
Xiaohong didn't ask anything, and was about to leave, but the two soldiers panicked.
"Miss Ouyang, why are you doing this? Why should you get along with us? ”
"It's strange, where can't I get along with you? I just want to send my maid to ask the drama father."
The two soldiers glanced at each other, and then prepared to leave quickly.
Ouyang Linlin shouted loudly: "Where to run?" ”
Xiaohong thought to herself, forget it, everyone has already run away, how can the two weak women be opponents?
And at this time, two monks rushed out of the monastery and hit the two soldiers with wooden sticks.
"Okay, you are making trouble in this pure place of Buddhism, and you are still pretending to be in the name of the drama prince, it is simply unreasonable."
After the two of them were beaten, they immediately got up early, saying that the monk was merciful, how could he beat people casually?
"We have mercy, but we can't let you do anything here."
Helpless, the two of them had to be beaten next to each other, Ouyang Linlin snorted coldly, and left with Xiaohong.
Xiaohong pushed the bicycle over, and when Ouyang Linlin was about to get on the bike, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"Miss Ouyang, please stay."
It was sent by Wenxuan.
Ouyang Linlin asked, "This son, is there something wrong with you?" ”
She suddenly wondered, is this person a disciple?
"Girl, you know the drama father, is this thing true?"
Although it was basically confirmed, she still had to ask.
"Of course I do, do you have any questions?" Xiaohong spoke first.
Wen Xiaocui was very dissatisfied.
"My son-in-law is talking to your young lady, what are you talking nonsense about?"
On the other hand, Xi Yu is very concerned about Ganmei's problem.
On this day, what is written on paper.
It's all from books in his previous life, what pregnant women pay attention to during pregnancy, but he doesn't remember it very well.
After a while he handed it to the maids and asked them to take a good look at it.
Especially pregnant women may have some emotional instability during pregnancy, so everyone must also work hard to hold on.
Although the other party is the master, they will accommodate on the surface, but what Xi Yu needs is their inner accommodation.
After a while, Gan Mei got the paper.
She was amazed.
How can this drama Yu know so much, as if she had been a pregnant woman.
Xi Yu had just finished writing and was about to rest, when suddenly a dark guard appeared beside him.
"What, is there something important?"
"Back to the opera, someone has indiscriminately charged fees in many public places under the guise of you, saying that it is to be used as military expenses."
"What? How can there be such a thing"?
Xi Yu immediately stood up.
It is simply unreasonable that someone should do such a dirty thing.
He asked the Dark Guard again for more information.
As soon as some people heard that it was a joke to use, they paid the money almost without saying a word.
Although there were a few people who were controversial, it eventually fell out.
However, there was an obstacle in Hualong Temple, and two people who were pretending to be soldiers were beaten.
"Hurry up and send someone to get all these people to me, and immediately find someone to spread the news, this matter has nothing to do with this situation."
The guard departed immediately.
Xi Yu thought to himself, in broad daylight, the guts of these kitten thieves are really too great.
It's certainly an organized act.
On the other side, Wen Xuan said to Ouyang Linlin very politely that he was from other places and had admired the drama for a long time, so he hoped to meet with the drama public.
Seeing her so polite, Ouyang Linlin seemed to have given up her defense, but shook her head.
What kind of character is the actor, how can he be seen casually by others?
Let's let her die.
"Miss Ouyang, before I met you, I confirmed that I was not worthy of seeing the drama father, but God let me see Miss, so I got a chance in Xia."
But Xiaohong still looked at the two of them with suspicion, and always felt that the two of them had bad intentions.
"I do have a lot of sincerity in the next place, I hope to see the drama father, and I hope I will let the young lady take the lead."
Ouyang Linlin thought about it for a moment and nodded.
Xiaohong felt that what Miss did was too hasty, but Miss had already agreed, and she couldn't say anything more.
"In that case, thank you, Miss. Miss, please come back, and I will definitely visit you another day. ”
Ouyang Linlin nodded, and finally left with Xiaohong.
After walking a few meters, Xiaohong had some complaints.
"Miss, why did you promise those two? I see that two people are not good things at all. ”
"Okay, you don't have to speculate."
And now, the phenomenon of chaotic reconquest in the streets is still going on.
And each store requires a fee.
Some of the shops complained.
"We do business well and pay taxes normally, so why do we have to pay extra fees?"
"Okay, don't complain, the drama is so hard, isn't he doing all this for the people"?
"That's right, and it is said that the opera company will also run a school so that many poor children can go to school for free."
"yes, and what if any of these things don't cost us people to share some of them?"
While everyone was talking, a soldier suddenly arrived and asked where the person who had just collected the fee was.
"Master Jun, what are you talking about, charging indiscriminately"?
"Yes, tell us, where have they gone?"
"They went south."
A few soldiers hurried to chase after them, and this time they confused a few people in the shop.
Could it be that those people just now were charging indiscriminately, and they didn't seal the order of Xi Yu at all?
But after learning about this, several people hurriedly scolded.
"It just doesn't make sense. How dare you harm us like this? ”
A couple of people pretending to be soldiers had gone to another street to collect fees.
Suddenly, the soldiers surrounded them, and they felt a little panicked and wanted to leave quickly.
"In broad daylight, you are too bold, and now you still want to leave."
They went in the opposite direction, and as a result, soldiers also came.
Similarly, on several other streets, criminals have been caught.
Half an hour later, all the criminals appeared in front of Xi Yu.
The soldiers brought them to their knees.
They all trembled, bowed their heads, and did not dare to say a word.
"You guys are so bold, you actually pretend to charge outside in the name of Ben Hou, saying, what the hell is going on"?
But no one spoke.
Xi Yu called the soldiers over and slapped them.
This time, several people finally got honest.
Xi Yu said that if they still don't tell the truth, then they will be tortured.
One of the men closest to Xi Yu said: "Xi Gong, to be honest, we don't know who told us to do it."
Xi Yu nodded to the soldiers, hoping that they would continue to slap their mouths.
"Drama Gong, the little one is telling the truth." The man immediately raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender.
Xi Yu told the soldiers not to move for the time being.
Listen as the man continues.
The man said that they had been working in a wine shop.
Suddenly, one day, a man in black broke in and beat the owner half to death.
And it was a masked man. Before a few workers could understand what was going on, the masked man whistled.
Soon, several more masked men walked in from outside, and they were also carrying several people with ropes tied all over their bodies.
At this moment, the workers could no longer be calm, because these people who were covered in ropes were their relatives.
The man in black who took the lead said coldly, asking everyone to do something for themselves, otherwise, they would never be able to reunite with their families.
And what they want to do is naturally to charge indiscriminately.
"We also know it's not right to do it, it's a loss of conscience, but we have to do it because our families are still in their hands."
Who the hell would have the audacity to do such a thing?
Xi Yu frowned.
"Drama father, what the little one said is the truth." (End of chapter)
