Chapter 33 Enter Pingzhou City
Captain Hu sighed and said, "He said that no matter who it is, no matter how big or small, each person will have ten taels of silver. ”
Xu Liang frowned and looked at the fat middle-aged man in official uniform sitting in the side room at the door, his face couldn't help but flash a trace of disgust, looking at so many carriages in front of the city gate, he was strange again, it is said that these carriages should be some characters with heads and faces, why don't you hurry into the city, what's going on here?
He thought so and asked, Captain Hu said helplessly: "Brother Xu doesn't know, they are said to have met horse bandits on the road, although their lives were saved, but the money was looted, and now it is estimated that there may still be some softness in the hands of women, but you also know that there are many women in large families, and there are many rights and wrongs." ”
Xu Liang nodded knowingly, and said to him, "I picked up a dart on the way, and by the way, I earned dart silver, and I will call them as family members in a while, and we will go over to find the captain for half a procedure." ”
Captain Hu nodded and said, "Look for me in a while, and I'll take you over directly." ”
Xu Liang turned around and got on his horse, ran all the way to the side of the carriage, and whispered to Ruan Yongqi about the situation.
Ruan Yongqi was embarrassed when he heard this, the only money he had was used to hire Xu Liang and them to escort them on the road, although he had a good reputation for private school over the years, he couldn't stand the moths in the house.
He looked at his father and knew that he couldn't help it, so he had to lift the curtain and explain the situation to them, wanting to see if there was anything he could do.
Ruan Yue calculated in a daze, the silver in her hand was just enough for their family, one or two was not much, she couldn't help pouting, the system is really buckled, and she won't give one or two more.
She sighed and secretly stuffed the silver into Mrs. Ruan's hand.
Mrs. Ruan was also a little worried, her hand suddenly sank, and when she looked down, she saw a handkerchief in her hand, and she didn't know what was wrapped in it.
She turned her head to look at Ruan Yue in surprise, seeing that she was winking at her, what else did she not understand?
She sighed lightly, handed the handkerchief in her hand to Ruan Yongqi, and said, "See if it's enough?" ”
Ruan Yongqi took the handkerchief, opened it and saw that there were eight silver ingots neatly placed inside, and he looked up at the old lady in surprise: "Mother, this, when did you save so much?" ”
Mrs. Ruan secretly glanced at him, and said in her heart, what are you saving, don't you count how much money the family spends? This is obviously given by the gods.
But she couldn't say it, she had to aggrievedly admit the title that she could save money, and said without much strength: "It's all here, is it enough?" ”
Ruan Yongqi nodded a little embarrassed, their family is enough, but there are still four dart masters outside?
He sighed and sat back on the wheel, and said to Xu Liang embarrassedly: "Brother Xu, I won't tell you, there are just these left at home." He just wanted to open the handkerchief, but Xu Liang held him down and said, "Don't move, be careful." ”
He turned his head and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered, "It's better to be careful if your wealth is not exposed." ”
Ruan Yongqi nodded sneeringly and said, "I have these at home." ”
"Is it enough for your family? If it's not enough, I'll put it on you first, and then I'll pay it back when you have it. Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Enough, enough, it's just not enough brothers." Ruan Yongqi said embarrassedly, "The brothers worked hard to send us here, and the money should have been paid by us, which was really shy in the pocket, which made Brother Xu smile." ”
"Haha, Brother Ruan's heart brother has received it, let's go to the city first." Xu Liang instructed Ruan Yongqi to take the road guide and follow him to the front to go through the formalities first.
Soon, the two of them were brought to the fat captain by Captain Hu, and before they could speak, the fat captain pointed at Captain Hu and said, "A priori the way." ”
Captain Hu looked at it casually, and when he saw that there was no problem, he hugged his fists and replied, "My lord, there is no problem with Lu Yin." ”
Ruan Yongqi's arrogant bones as a literati have now been smoothed out a lot, and he followed Xu Liang in a regular manner, and after Xu Liang handed the silver to the fat lieutenant, the fat lieutenant put away the silver, looked at it with a smile and said kindly: "When we enter the city, we must abide by the rules of the city, let us catch the wrong place and drive it out of the city directly." Got it? ”
Xu Liang and Ruan Yongqi hugged their fists and thanked them.
When the carriage stumbled to the city gate from the side, the carriage that was blocked at the gate did not give way, and was driven away by Captain Hu with people, and the Ruan family entered the city.
When Ruan's family saw them entering, they also wanted to follow in, but they were stopped by the guards and coaxed people viciously, "Get out, who let you in." ”
Boss Ruan shouted unconvinced: "We are a family, why can they enter, we can't enter." ”
"Huh! What's a family? Whoever goes in must pay first, and they will naturally be able to enter after paying the money, and if you want to enter the city, you must pay the money first. The guards guarding the gate looked at them mockingly, they had seen too many of such untouchables, and they all wanted to follow the rich man's carriage in.
But they will count the heads, and if there is more, the white silver will be taken up by the captain to honor the master of Zhizhou, and the rest can be missed for them, so this head is silver, and they watch it tightly.
Boss Ruan saw that Ruan Yongqi and their carriage had already entered the city, and asked anxiously, "How much silver do we need to let us in?" ”
The guard looked at him coldly, "Ten taels of silver is a head, pay enough silver, and you can enter the city without any problem." ”
Boss Ruan was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly: "You guys are robbing money? ”
The guard picked up the red tassel gun in his hand and pumped it at him, saying viciously: "Get out, don't force it if you don't have money." Scream again, kill you. ”
Ruan Lao shouted loudly, "My lord, my lord, I was wrong, don't fight." But they don't have that much money, how can they get in? ”
"Do you still need you to blame you for doing things? Get lost. This time, the guards pointed their guns directly at them, so frightened that Boss Ruan and a few people hurriedly ran away.
More than ten zhang away, Ruan Boss glared angrily at the carriage that had only a shadow left, and scolded hatefully: "These two old immortals have saved so much money, and there are so many of them, how much money does it cost." ”
The old family was also indignant, "Since you have money, why don't you help us pay the money, there is also his eldest son and grandson here." They went in to live a good life, but let us be killed by the Beidi people, it's really ruthless. ”
The second family opened her mouth and didn't dare to say anything, she pulled her two sons tightly to reduce her sense of presence.
In addition to the resentment on their faces, several juniors were more at a loss.
They didn't know where the road ahead was, they didn't know where to go, so they could only follow Boss Ruan, even if they knew that he was doing something wrong, they didn't dare to dissuade him.
