Yi Chen raised his head and looked into the distance, a huge city more than twenty-five meters high rose on the horizon, looking extremely grand.

The three huge gilded characters of Longjiang Mansion shine even more in the sun, and the magnificence is incomparable.

People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away.

Big cities are different, even the city walls are higher than others, and they are magnificent!

Compared with Longjiang Mansion, Ping'an County is no different from the countryside.

As for Fengyun County, that's not to mention.

Pure pure cattle and horses.

Yi Chen rubbed his hands, and he didn't know what he thought, he strode forward, and Xiao Meow followed closely with his bag.

…

…

Li Gouyu's goalkeeper life is very ideal.

Forty years ago, his grandfather guarded the city gate in Longjiang Mansion.

Twenty years ago, his father guarded the city gate in Longjiang Mansion.

Now, he is guarding the city gate in Longjiang Mansion, and he has just joined the company today.

Three generations of perseverance, not to mention how prosperous life is.

"Stop!"

"What's in the car?"

Li Gouyu squinted at a businessman queuing up to enter the city, and his tone was not good.

Although the merchant in front of him was wearing silk and satin, and he had a jade wrench on his finger, the dog didn't like to look at him squarely.

A stinky trader, he has a hundred ways to deal with him in a reasonable way.

Suddenly, a piece of broken silver weighing one penny was quietly handed to him, which made Gouyu's eyes suddenly brighten.

Sensible!

Although this money is not much, and even he has to give seventy percent to the chief, and he can only get thirty percent, but he can't stand the large number of people who enter the city every day.

He finally knew where the three sets of three-entry mansions in his family city came about.

Guarding the city gate is really a good deal to ensure harvest in drought and flood!

Li Gouyu instantly understood the foresight of his father and grandfather, and his heart was full of gratitude to the family at this time.

If you earn two taels of silver a day, isn't it twenty taels a week, two hundred taels a month, and twenty thousand taels a year?

Mom, my old Li family is going to send it!

The dog who has not studied in a private school can't help but think of the better life in the future.

After he had saved up a week's worth of money, he would definitely go to the Rabbit Pavilion to reward himself for once.

Don't ask him why he didn't go to Fengyue Tower for tea.

Because although he is thin and small, he is a gentleman.

Fengyue Lou is a place where men and women fight, and he disdains it.

The Rabbit Pavilion is his destination, and real men have to fight with men.

He is a dog, and he mainly plays both offense and defense.

He was happy whether he won or lost.

Just when the dog was in high spirits and was about to make a big move, he suddenly felt that the sky suddenly darkened.

A tall man in his early two meters stood in front of him.

The arms were thick enough to run a horse, the muscles were knotted, the fists were bigger than the casserole, and the strong pectoralis muscles lifted the placket of the clothes high.

Most importantly, he, Mo has no expression.

Looking at the big arm of the person in front of him, Gou Yu had no doubt that this person could slap his head through the neck and out of his buttocks.

Damn, this is a Taoist priest?

This is a bandit playing dress-up.

The dog staggered back three steps, as if he was ready to run away at any time if there was any disturbance.

"Gatekeeper, how much money to get into the city?" Yi Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he brought his big face closer.

"A penny, as long as a penny, Dao Chief." The dog pulled his throat and hurriedly dodged back, he felt that he was about to suffocate, and the man's gaze was like a ruthless big hand, grabbing his heart fiercely.

He was terrified.

Hearing this, Yi Chen stretched out his big hand to help the thin dog in front of him.

Because he felt that the person in front of him was about to fall.

As a good Taoist who promised his master to follow the path of benevolence and righteousness, he felt that he should help him.

However, at this time, the dog almost wanted to cry.

God, this bandit still wants to reach out and hit people, so lawless, where did this murderer come from.

Suddenly, Yi Chen lifted himself into the air, and a piece of broken silver weighing a penny suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

"Dao Chief, that's all I have on me." The dog said with a sad face.

On the side of the dog's leftovers, an older gatekeeper picked up a big and pasted it on the dog's face.

Yi Chen: "......"

He didn't understand it, but he was shocked.

"Daoye, this is my eldest nephew, he is new, he is guarding the door on the first day today, he doesn't understand the rules, you must not be like him."

"How can a strange person like you reach out to you and ask for money."

"You have a lot of them, so let's let him go like a fart."

The gatekeeper said to Yi Chen with a smile on his face, and suddenly Yi Chen's big hand had two taels of silver.

Twenty seconds later, just like that, Yi Chen didn't spend a penny, and he made two taels of silver and walked into the city gate.

I can't push it, and I can't do it if I don't accept it.

The local garrison soldiers were so polite.

It wasn't until he couldn't see Yi Chen's figure anymore that Gou Yu covered his face and said to the veteran guarding the city: "Second uncle, why are you beating me!" ”

"Beat you, Lao Tzu is saving you." The veteran defending the city hated the iron and pointed at the dog and scolded: "Who let Ling Chao collect money from such a strong man?" ”

"Isn't that the rule? I didn't overcharge a penny per person. Li Gouyu said aggrievedly, "I can't make it up by myself." ”

"Are you scheming? The fat sheep that are good at the back are more collected, and they can always make up for it. ”

"Dog, you are still young, guarding the city gate is not a job that anyone can do, and the trick must be bright."

"Those small people and small businessmen, you can do whatever you want."

"But if you dare to reach out to the big trading houses, big families and all kinds of strongmen in the city, your father and I will go to Longjiang to catch you, do you know you." The second uncle hated that iron could not be made of steel, and slapped the dog in the face again.

*

*

Yi Chen, the second uncle's nephew, naturally didn't know, he was walking on the long street where people came and went at this time.

The long street is paved with long strips of bluestone and has a wide pavement that can accommodate six horse-drawn carriages at the same time.

Merchants come and go like clouds, the flow of people on the street is shoulder to shoulder, the chariots, the horses are Xiaoxiao, countless flags and signboards on both sides of the long street dance fiercely, and the street is endless.

Among them, several stores are particularly magnificent, which makes Yi Chen quite admired.

There is Baozhitang. [Selling medicine. 】

There is Yuelai Pavilion. 【Dry Inn's. 】

There is a wind moon building. 【Selling seafood. 】

There is Julong Zhai. 【Eating. 】

There is a heavenly weapon pavilion. [This one, the one who sells magic instruments. 】

….

"Longjiang Mansion, extraordinary."

After walking casually for a while, Yi Chen only had a nine-word impression of Longjiang Mansion at this time.

There are many people, many goods, more money, and many masters.

It is not uncommon to see people in Fengyun County on the streets of Longjiang Mansion, and one of the white-haired old men riding a donkey to swagger through the market made Yi Chen's heart skip a beat, even with his current strength, he felt pressure.

The two of them looked at each other and then did not speak, stagger their gazes, and walked away.

What Yi Chen didn't notice was that a brave merchant on the long street stared at his back for two or three seconds, then turned his head and disappeared around the corner of the street.

After walking around, Yi Chen did not continue to wander, but came to the door of Julongzhai.

After walking in the mountains and forests for so many days, a bird has faded out of his mouth, and it is time to appease his five internal organs.

After finding a place by the window and sitting down, after a while, a smiling junior came over and handed over a menu.

Yi Chen's finger swiped.

"This, this, this...."

"The guest officer wants vinegar shredded potatoes, cabbage, fried shredded lettuce... These? Xiao Er began to silently begin shorthand.

"No, I don't want any of these vegetarian dishes, I'll serve the rest."

"By the way, I don't want rice, I don't like rice, did you write it down?"

Xiao Er: "...."

After a while, two large tables full of dishes were served one after another, and Yi Chen and Xiao Meow began to feast.

Of course, they are divided into meals.

Yi Chen opened another all-fish banquet for Xiao Meow, and told the second brother Xiao Meow what he wanted to eat, so that he could take the menu and pull some food for Xiao Meow.

Julongzhai is worthy of being a famous restaurant in Longjiang Mansion, as far as Yi Chen and Xiao Meow are concerned, the guests who come and go only take a few more looks, and there is no bridge section where diners are shocked, which makes Yi Chen's evaluation of Longjiang Mansion rise to a higher level.

A big city is a big city, well-informed.

Then came the hunt.

Just when Yi Chen and the food were not in the same place, suddenly the conversation of a person at the next table caught his attention.

"Boss Zhang, have you heard?"

"There are more than 80 members of Li Yuanwai's family in the west of the city, and all of them are dead." A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy merchant in brocade said in a low voice to the diners at the same table.

"How can I not know, Boss Wang, the younger brother of my distant nephew's cousin is on an errand in the Yamen, I heard that Li Yuanwai's family died so miserably."

"One by one, they are like starving ghosts reincarnated, not to mention that they have eaten everything they can eat at home, and some of them have nothing to eat, so they just eat themselves."

"Some people chased the buttocks of horses and cows in the house, and were kicked to death by horses and cows."

"There are also people who go directly into the thatched house, vomit!" Boss Zhang also said mysteriously.

"Hey, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the past few days, the yamen announced that it was a strongman in order to maintain stability, I know of two or three cases, and I don't know how many more."

"Something must have happened recently."

"I don't live at home anyway now, and I took my wife and children to live directly at the Laifu Inn five hundred meters away from Zhen'ansi to avoid the limelight."

"The boss of the dog day who stepped on the horse, sat on the ground and raised the price, charged Lao Tzu twenty taels of silver a night, and I can't live in it, you don't live in it, some people live, no way, I gritted my teeth and booked two, just this, the inn of the dog day is already full."

Hearing this, Boss Zhang couldn't sit still.

", why didn't I think of this trick, brother help, even brother, I'm willing to give twenty-five taels one night."

"Eh, Brother Zhang, look at what you said, they are all brothers, I will be in charge of you for thirty or two nights."

"Well, Brother Wang, I'll move here tonight."

"It's good to say, it's all brothers, come, Brother Zhang, taste a piece of this Julongzhai Lizhuang white meat, it tastes delicious, you can't help but taste it." Boss Wang smiled and pushed a plate of Li Zhuang's white meat in front of Boss Zhang.
