Chapter 19: Entering the City

At the gate of the city, the general guarding the city saw this mighty caravan coming, his heart suddenly tightened, and he ordered: "Guys, cheer up, there can be no accidents in this matter." ”

This group of soldiers immediately put on a posture and strictly investigated to the end.

The caravan was lively and lively as scheduled, and the chief shopkeeper led by him saw that the city gate was heavily guarded and the atmosphere was solemn, and he was also muttering in his heart, squeezing out a flattering smile, and stepped forward to almost say: "This military master, I don't know what happened, the wind is so nervous." ”

Between the words, the shopkeeper did not forget to secretly hand a piece of silver that was not too big or small to the general guarding the city.

Seeing this, the general of the city guard said with a straight face: "There has been a fugitive in Yunshan County recently, the matter is very important, I can't tell you in detail, as long as you don't do bad things, naturally no one can do bad things for you." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to take the piece of silver and hide it in his cuffs.

When the big shopkeeper saw that the military master had received the money, his heart was a little more steady, and he turned to greet everyone: "Guys, the military master has a routine inspection, don't be too noisy." ”

Only then did the caravan personnel gradually fall silent.

The soldiers defending the city are also busy, both men and women, they must lift the long hair on their foreheads to take a closer look to prevent someone from using disguise to fool the pass, and some of them look at the men who are not very old, and the soldiers who defend the city have to pull their beards, which makes many men tingle.

Due to the large number of people, careful screening of matters is particularly time-consuming.

When the big shopkeeper saw this posture, he muttered in his heart, it seems that something really big has happened.

Such a subtle investigation lasted for more than half an hour before it was over.

After checking everyone, the general of the city guard came to the front of the big treasurer and said with a little seriousness: "The cargo boxes in the carriage must be opened, and they must be checked one by one." ”

After hearing this, the big shopkeeper regretted it for a while, and the piece of silver he had just given was given for nothing, and he replied with a slight twist: "There are some goods that are not suitable for the light, such as spices, etc., can the military master give it a convenience." ”

The general guarding the city knew in his heart that they were here to investigate, and at this moment, there were at least no less than three eyeliners who were paying close attention to every move here, and he really didn't dare to be careless in the slightest, otherwise he would not be able to protect himself.

"If it's on weekdays, I may really be able to give you a convenience, but it's really not good in the past two days." The general defending the city said resolutely.

The big shopkeeper looked helpless, turned to the guys and beckoned, "Open the container." ”

A group of soldiers began to climb into the carriage one by one, opened the cargo boxes for a closer look, some of the boxes contained real money and silver, and when they saw these real money soldiers, a solemn greedy light flashed in the depths of their eyes.

Some of the boxes contained spices, while others contained more expensive herbs or silk.

But any box that felt like it could hide people, the soldiers would open the goods and examine them carefully.

Because of this, a lot of spices leaked, a lot of silk left some faint traces, the big shopkeeper saw this scene, his heart was dripping blood, once the silk has a trace of traces, the price is going to drop a lot.

It's really bad luck today.

Before I knew it, another half an hour had passed.

After careful investigation, it was found that there was no abnormality, and the general of the city guard smiled slightly apologetically at the big shopkeeper: "I'm really sorry for you, in fact, we don't want to do this, but the adults above must let us investigate strictly to the end." ”

The big shopkeeper felt bitter in his heart, and with a piece of silver, he bought the smiling face of the military master at the moment.

"Everywhere, you are all hard-working people, this scorching sun, and you are still enforcing the law so much, it is with people like you in Yunshan County that you can be peaceful." The big shopkeeper smiled reluctantly.

The general guarding the city was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a big shopkeeper, and his words are good." ”

Then he shouted loudly: "Release." ”

The big shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and led the caravan into Yunshan County.

The general who defended the city also wiped the sweat from his forehead, he had been busy for so long, and he had found nothing, which was really a waste of feelings.

The little brother on the side also complained slightly: "I'm really tired, I don't know when this day will be the head." ”

After hearing this, the general of the city guard said indifferently: "That's it, let the brothers take care more, and then I will watch the big guys go to ask for rewards, and let's go back and find a slightly cheaper Qinglou to be presumptuous." ”

As soon as they heard this, the surrounding soldiers suddenly raised their spirits, their own ladies are always picking and searching, or the ladies in the Qinglou look energetic, and it is always a strange woman who can mobilize men's blood and blood.

Speaking of the girls in the Qinglou, this group of military men seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and all kinds of things that couldn't be on the stage shook out one after another.

Just as they were talking about the excitement, the general who guarded the city saw a girl in simple clothes and a little dirty coming, and hurriedly stopped: "Be serious." ”

Between the words, he also glanced at this girl a little carefully, her face was thin in blood, her hair was messy, and her body was delicate, and she was the kind of poor girl who had not had enough to eat for a long time.

didn't think much about it for a while, and let Xiong Xiaomeng enter Yunshan County.

"Big brother, don't you want to check on that little girl?" A little brother said suspiciously.

The general defending the city said indifferently: "Don't you know that our target is a man and a woman? ”

"And the girl doesn't look like a seriously ill person."

As soon as he heard this, the little brother came back to his senses.

After Xiong Xiaomeng entered the city, he followed Chu Nan's instructions and walked all the way to the west, looking for a rouge gouache stall on the side of the street.

And Chu Nan was still halfway there, and occasionally met the uncle who was carrying dry firewood, and glanced at the four directions of the road, there was indeed a quiet path leading to the mountains, and I didn't know if it was luck, or if this old man deliberately appeared here.

Chu Nan subconsciously asked the old man: "Uncle, how much can you sell this bundle of dry firewood if you send it to the city?" ”

The old man was tired and panting, and when he heard Chu Nan's words, he responded a little implicitly: "If you work so hard, it's only twenty copper plates." ”

Chu Nan had a plan and said: "Uncle, you see that I also went to the city to find a job, and I don't have any money on me, why don't I carry this bundle of dry firewood to Yunshan County for you, and you can give me two copper plates and let me eat a bowl of noodle soup?" ”

The old man paused, looked at Chu Nan again, and saw Chu Nan showing a harmless smile on his face, secretly mobilizing his anger, and letting his belly growl a few times.

When the old man saw this posture, he simply put down the dry tea on his back, took out a piece of hard dry food from his arms and handed it to Chu Nan, and said with a loving smile: "This is hard work, eat something and then carry it." ”

Chu Nan pretended to see the poor and sour posture of the dry food's eyes shining, and after taking the dry food, he deliberately opened his mouth wide, clicked three bites, and ate the dry food, in fact, Chu Nan was not so hungry, but for a while I didn't know whether this uncle was an enemy or an ordinary uncle, so he had to pretend.

"Uncle is really a good person, come on, come on, I'll carry firewood." Chu Nan said with a courteous face.

Chu Nan squatted down, and the uncle was not ambiguous, so he used his strength to put the bundle of dry firewood on Chu Nan's back, Chu Nan pretended to grit his teeth hard, and said in a difficult tone; "I didn't expect this bundle of firewood to be so heavy."

The old man laughed and said, "You young man, you don't even have the strength to carry a bundle of firewood, how can you marry a daughter-in-law in the future?" ”

Chu Nan also said unequivocally: "Uncle, you said that I can't marry a daughter-in-law, but I can't say that I don't have strength." ”

Chu Nan gritted his teeth and shouted, carrying dry firewood forward, his steps looked a little flustered, if you want to talk about carrying heavy objects, the young man is really not the opponent of this kind of old man, they have carried dry firewood for a long time, and they have already practiced endurance, and ordinary teenagers cannot have such stamina, of course, these details can only be seen by those who have suffered hardships, if this uncle is Ling Yuzong's eyeliner, he can naturally see it......
