And looking at the teams on both sides, the configuration is almost the same! The old and weak women and children sat in the ox carts and wheelbarrows, and the young and strong echoed in front and back, as if the two village chiefs had been taught by a master!

In fact, the village chiefs of these two villages also know each other, and they have been fighting for a lifetime! It is said that the two of them had a grudge because they both fell in love with a girl, but in the end, this girl was married by the old village chief! And coincidentally, both village chiefs sat on the first ox cart, and they both sat on the wheels!

Two people who have been competing all their lives will come to the ground as soon as they meet! The old village chief preemptively said, "The surname Wei is the intersection where we arrived first, you villagers stay and don't move, let us go first!"

And Village Chief Wei naturally refused to agree, he said loudly, "Why did you arrive first, obviously we arrived first! Don't move here, let's go first!"

As soon as the two village chiefs quarreled, the young men in the village also quarreled, and they squeezed forward to the intersection one after another, and no one could pass through the intersection!

The two sides quarreled for a long time, and no one could convince anyone, and in the end, the old village chief drank and quieted everyone down and said, "The surname is Wei, it's not a matter of delaying like this, don't delay everyone to buy salt!" Let's follow the old rules, whoever wins will go first!".

Village Chief Wei immediately began to roll up his sleeves, and at the same time said loudly, "Okay, come to Bibi! Ten of you, ten of us, ......."

Before he could finish speaking, the old village chief waved his hand to stop his words and said, "When is it, how can there be time to compare wrestling!" I have a few copper coins in my waist, I caught it in the palm of my hand, you guess the odds and doubles, you guess the right you go first, guess the wrong I go first!"

As soon as Village Chief Wei heard that this idea was not bad, he immediately agreed. So the old village chief took out a string of copper coins from his waist and put them behind his back, picked a few from them, stretched out his right hand and said, "Guess what, single or double?"

Village Chief Wei hesitated and gritted his teeth and said, "I guess double! Good things come in pairs!"

The old village chief said, "Then let's count, anyway, I didn't count when I was talking!"

After speaking, he spread out his hand to count the copper coins, and finally proved that there were only seven copper coins in his hand! Seeing this result, the old village chief laughed, and the other villagers also cheered! And the village chief Wei and the villagers on the opposite side are like mourning one by one!

After laughing, the old village chief said proudly, "The surname is Wei, hurry up and get out of the way, let our people go on the road!" Just follow behind!"

When Village Chief Wei heard this, his forehead was bruised, and he jumped up! But he still ordered the people around him to step back and get out of the way. The old village chief also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he didn't say anything else, and directly let the eldest son command the team on the road.

After everyone got on the official road, the speed of travel was much faster, especially when there was another team following behind, everyone tried to run forward! Even the chauffeur drove the oxen fast!

The two teams moved forward silently, and they also met a lot of people on the road to rush to Yangzhou together, and the road was full of people and cars! But fortunately, everyone was quite obedient and didn't block the road.

Just when the white belly of the fish had appeared on the horizon, indicating that the sky was about to dawn, the team finally arrived at the last fork in the road! After this intersection, walk down the official road to the south gate of Yangzhou! At this time, the old village chief saw that there was a fire flickering in front of him, so he sent Niu Mantun to the front to explore the way.

After a while, he ran back and said happily, "Village chief, in front of you are those officials who sell salt, they have arranged for people to clear the road at the intersection, and they have also lit a fire to brighten the road!"

The old village chief said happily, "But I don't want these government servants to be smart and capable!"

Niu Mantun said, "That's not all, they said that the camp is not far ahead, and everyone has to line up according to the rules! Say otherwise, the door will be so chaotic that you won't be able to sell salt!"

The old village chief nodded again and again and said, "It's right, it's right, I'm afraid that most of the people in Yangzhou City are coming here, and it will be a mess!"

As they slowly talked, they approached the junction, and sure enough, they saw a fire and five men dressed as men standing there directing traffic. But the firecrackles they were carrying told everyone that they weren't really buddies! Especially on the firebolt

The bayonet stuck in the face stabbed people's eyes even more, and at a glance, you can tell that these people are not easy to mess with!

The village chief looked at the soldiers carefully and whispered, "Are you sure those cars are full of heads? They don't look like they can fight!"

Niu Mantun nodded again and again and said, "It must be, I've been to see it all, all of them have cracked teeth, they're scary!"

They heard one of the soldiers shouting, "Everybody has to line up, in the order they are now. Those in the back follow the people in front, don't walk around, rush around! Otherwise, it will cause chaos, and the military law will not tolerate mercy, and you will be beheaded directly for public display!"

Then another soldier shouted, "Everyone, pay attention, take care of your money and children, and don't let those thieves steal and shoot flowers!" Also, if you see someone making trouble, take it directly, whether you live or die! As long as it can be proved that the person caught is a troublemaker, the Shangguan will be rewarded!"

Then another soldier said loudly: "From today onwards, Yangzhou City will always have low-cost salt to sell in the future, this is all long live the emperor's grace, Wu Ninghou will contribute money and efforts!" Even for these two, you have to follow the rules, don't walk around! If someone doesn't follow the rules on the spot, our brother is not a vegetarian and will be punished severely!"

The old village chief was already a little hoarse when he heard the voices of these soldiers, it seemed that they had been preaching here for a long time. Everyone was a little moved to see them working so hard! In addition, it is the imperial court that has benefited their own family, and the appeal of the imperial court is very strong at this time, so they all feel that they should abide by the rules! Even the old village chief and the village chief Wei shouted at everyone to listen to the military master and obey the rules!

As they got closer and closer to the South Gate, they found that there were more and more people on the side of the road! There are not only errand officers to help the idle, but also the officers and soldiers of the guard station! They weren't here for anything else, but to do their best to maintain order.

Originally, the officials of these people had all accepted Qiu He's money, and they were going to send people to make trouble! But last night, the big shopkeeper of Liansheng Bank visited several chief officials, presented a sum of silver, and told them directly: We all know what you send people to do during the day, but you didn't do it! So this matter can not be pursued! And now there is an opportunity for you to be appreciated by the emperor and make a contribution, that is, to help the caravan maintain order!
