Chapter 376: Three Rings
Why the second pier.
The second pier is the dock where these small people and hawkers can dock.
Except for the big ships of some merchants, most of them are small boats like Jiang Wancheng and them.
One pier is the official wharf.
Only the ships of the dignitaries can dock.
Compared with the prosperity and neatness of the first wharf, the second wharf is much more sloppy and messy.
Although it is still much more lively and prosperous than Cangxian County, it is still much larger than Cangxian, but the overall construction and environment are not as spacious and clean as Cangxian County.
When the people around saw it, they could only quickly dodge, but they were afraid that the whip would also fall on themselves.
Except for the borderless that followed the rear and got off the ship.
Shi Yi sold the boat for five taels of silver in the back.
And the man who was beaten on the ground got up silently, spit out a mouthful of blood foam, and endured the pain all over his body to go to work again.
But she suddenly came to Beijing again on this trip.
Scholars are determined to be in the way, and the way is to help the world.
"What are you doing!? Why don't you disperse quickly? β
When he bought the boat, he threw away a string of beads worth at least five hundred taels, but now he sells them for five taels, which is really a loss of capital.
It turned out that there was no difference at all.
Don't...... What did she remember?
If you go directly to the Hou Mansion Meng's house, you will have to expose the marriage exchange...... I wonder how the third master will respond?
She half-looked behind her, frowning slightly.
A fish slammed into Jiang Wancheng's feet.
"Official, it's okay, the little one only paid two taels of silver yesterday......"
And the beaten old man didn't even dare to resist, so he could only be supported by his daughter in the family with tears in his eyes, and hurriedly returned to the stall and continued to shout bitterly and hatefully.
The third master suspects that Miss Jiang has lost her memory, so she doesn't remember the marriage of Cui Jiang's two families at all, and may even forget who she is.
Li Sigui grabbed the arm of the person beside him: "No need! Do you think the foreman doesn't know? It's just that he just turns a blind eye, as long as there is no big mess, he won't care. β
The king loves the people, and the people love the country.
At the thought of this, Wujing was both expectant and excited.
The ship of their Hou Mansion is going to stop at a pier.
As he spoke, he slapped the other party hard.
But he didn't care, it was better to get some money back than to leave it with nothing.
The pace couldn't help but speed up a little.
The stalls here have been opened, and the other side continues to shout and sell.
Of course, the second pier is also more mixed, there are people of three religions and nine streams here, fishermen, swordsmen, jugglers, Taoist priests, ordinary people, traders, scholars......
From time to time, there are sounds of quarrels and fights.
Wujing changed his outfit and was far away from Jiang Wancheng and them, so when he landed on the shore, he saw someone kowtowing to Jiang Wancheng.
She looked down at Wen Erlang, knowing that it was the first time he had seen such a chaotic and terrifying scene, although he had also docked at two docks on the way, but compared to the chaos here, it was a completely small scene before.
It's too easy to pretend to be an ordinary boat.
Why does she always feel ...... Looks like someone is following them?
After they were gone, Wujing continued to follow with doubts.
Although Jiang Wancheng was dressed in tatters, she still didn't dare to take it lightly, her face was covered with a scarf, and she lowered her head slightly when she walked, looking at her feet.
"Let's not cause trouble, just walk over quickly."
Wen Erlang tightly pulled Jiang Wancheng to dodge: "Sister, don't be afraid!" β
Of course, Jiang Wancheng is not afraid.
Shi Yi tossed the silver twice, stuffed it into his arms, and caught up with Jiang Wancheng and Wen Erlang.
"Those people, but they are bullying you again!? Just because you are down-to-earth and capable, one person can do the work of two people, and they are so heavy-handed!? No, I'm going to your foremanβ"
His companion seemed to be trying to reason with him, but a soft, soft voice sounded behind him.
Therefore, half a day before arriving in Shangjing, Wujing had already taken a small boat and silently followed Jiang Wancheng and them.
Wen Erlang was shocked the whole time.
Of course, on this dock, their affairs did not attract the slightest attention from others.
Jiang Wancheng, who had been walking forward, suddenly paused.
The river is full of boats, and as long as it's not too eye-catching, no one else will look at you a few times.
Wen Erlang slowly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded heavily.
"Why don't we get out of here before we talk!"
"Is that possible? Say okay, float up one or two a month, love to do it, don't like to do it, hurry up! There are a lot of people here who want to do business, is there a lack of a cheap bone like you!? β
She pointed ahead, and if she had to cross the dock and get to the main road into the city, there would be fewer people.
Jiang Wancheng stroked Wen Erlang's back, but did not poke him, but smiled: "Okay, with Erlang here, of course Sister is not afraid!" β
Hearing her voice, Wang Yan instantly turned around.
"Auntie, girl!? Girl, second son, when, is it really you!? β
Wang Yan nodded quickly, only glanced at Li Sigui, who had already gone away, and then got up and took Jiang Wancheng and them to quickly leave the mixed dock.
Obviously, the crowd behind him was mixed, and there was no familiar shadow.
Jiang Wancheng thought that she had recognized the wrong person.
"Don't you want to die!?"
He thought it would be very different from the small counties on their border.
"You guys, you haven't paid your taxes this month, and you're still looking here? Believe it or not, I'll take your stall right away! β
Suddenly, a strong man wearing only a gown was kicked and flew in front of them.
The ancients had a clear hierarchy, and although she could understand what they could not change engraved in their bones, as a modern person, she really couldn't accept it with peace of mind.
When the other party was almost dying, a man dressed in official clothes came over with a knife.
"Girl, the little one is guarding this dock every day, waiting, for fear of missing the girl. The little one finally got the girl today! The little one kowtows to you! β
"Girl! The little ones are waiting for you! You're finally here! β
It seems that Wang Yan already has someone he knows here.
But if you look closely, isn't this enthusiastic person who wants to help others the husband of the servant girl, Wang Zhen?
Before leaving Wushan, Jiang Wancheng sent the couple to Beijing in advance.
He was enlightened since he was a child, and he read the book of sages, and understood that it was the suffering of the world and the great gift of the family of Qi.
"Wang Zhen? Why are you here? β
Although Jiang Wancheng was wearing a face towel on his face, Wen Erlang on the side could be recognized at a glance!
Jiang Wancheng pulled Wen Erlang to dodge quickly, and saw a few more people rushing on the other side, pressing the man to the ground and beating him wildly.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for a daughter of a prominent family to hide in a countryside before, and there was no movement on the matter of changing marriages.
Wang Yan was so excited that he didn't know what to do, so he kowtowed Jiang Wancheng three times.
Jiang Wancheng was still taken aback.
Although I knew that the world was sinister, and even my brother had personally experienced the corruption of the court, the mediocrity of officials, and the sloppy and cruel grievances of prison administration, but when I really saw such a tragic and shocking picture with my own eyes, I still felt that my heart was shaken and extremely uncomfortable!
This is still at the foot of the imperial city.
"Hurry up, scatter! See what a lively! β
"Li Sigui!"
With an urgent shout, a figure rushed over, grabbed the wounded man, and saw that he was covered in black, and the man was furious.
It's so ugly, dirty, and cruel!
Wang Yan was excited, and knelt down for Jiang Wancheng on the spot with red eyes.
The third master said that he wanted to find out why Miss Jiang went to Beijing this time.
But she was always uneasy.
Jiang Wancheng looked at Shi Yi behind him, "Brother Shi, come forward for a moment." β
