Chapter 349: Good Karma
Pei Ming nodded, and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly looked out of the carriage, and after looking at it for a while, he was suddenly surprised: "Hey, why did Lao Yang's caravan go back? Could it be that it went back and forth so early?"
Liang Cheng also followed his gaze when he heard this, and sure enough, he saw a group of people and horses walking back on the trade road in the distance, and it looked like it was also a caravan, but the scale of this caravan was much larger, and the beast carts connected from end to end were at least fifty more than Pei Ming's caravan.
It didn't take long for the two caravans to meet on the road, Pei Ming poked his head out and asked a dark-skinned middle-aged man who was also sitting in the beast cart, "Boss Yang, is it so early this year?
Boss Yang smiled bitterly: "It turned out to be Boss Pei, go back, I won't be able to go to Luzhu Village this year." ”
"Ahh
Pei Ming looked depressed, stood on the dusty business road for a while, and then returned to the carriage dejectedly, and said to Liang Cheng: "Oh no, I don't know what's going on this year, the Zhennan guard will prohibit everyone from passing through, according to the previous Boss Yang, this time it's a real game, the guard surnamed Li doesn't eat hard and soft, and bribery doesn't work, and finally Boss Yang has no choice, so he has to go back, can't go to Luzhu Village, this year he is a miserable loss, but in this way, what can we do?" It would be terrible if we couldn't go to Green Bamboo Village......"
Liang Cheng said: "Cousin, let's go, let's go over and have a look first, instead of speculating here, it's better to try your luck at Zhennanguan first, if not, then find a way, anyway, I want to go over anyway, if you get to Zhennanguan, if the caravan really can't pass, you can go back, I will stay by myself to find an opportunity, a person is not conspicuous, I always have to find a way to get past anyway." ”
"Okay, so let's go over and have a look. Pei Ming was also helpless, reached out and took out a bracelet like a rosary, handed it to Liang Cheng, and then said: "Du Daoyou, if the situation changes, only you pass through Zhennan Pass alone, and when you arrive at Luzhu Village, you will wear this bracelet on your wrist, and someone will naturally come to pick you up at that time." ”
Liang Cheng stretched out his hand to take the bracelet, only to see that this thing is a simple jewelry, but the style is quite strange, it should be a token, wear it on the wrist, and when the time comes, the person who will receive him in Luzhuzhai will judge the identity according to this thing.
After about half an hour, Pei Ming's caravan finally came to the outside of Zhennan Pass, which was different from the past when there were several deer barricades set up before this pass, and there were still horses blocking the road, and a small group of soldiers stood in the middle of the road, guarding there in full armor, and the atmosphere seemed a little tense.
When the soldiers in front saw the caravan, they waved the signal flag in their hands from a distance and told them to stop. Seeing this, Pei Ming hurriedly got out of the beast cart and walked to the soldier alone, and Liang Cheng followed not far away, wanting to see the reality of this Zhennanguan.
Pei Ming came to a sergeant who looked like a squad leader, hugged his fists and said, "Oh, old brother Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time, what's wrong today?"
"It turned out to be Boss Pei. The squad leader said with a smile: "Please go back, Boss Pei, this time I have been ordered by Shangfeng to prohibit anyone outside the Sangshen Sect from passing through the pass!"
Pei Ming stepped forward and quietly stuffed a bag of things into the captain's hand: "It's convenient, Brother Qian, my little brother is such a big stall, many people follow me, and they are all counting on doing business in the past, if you can't get through today, you will have to drink the northwest wind if you can't do business, Brother Qian, for the sake of our brothers' friendship......"
Before Boss Pei could finish speaking, the squad leader waved his hand and knocked things to the ground, shouting: "Don't come here! I'll tell you if I don't listen! Boss Pei, I'll warn you one last time! Now you can take someone to walk away for me! Don't come and talk! Otherwise, don't blame me for being polite!"
Pei Ming bent down to pick up something, glanced at the majestic city wall of Zhennan Pass, and saw that there seemed to be a lot of defenders hidden above, with bows and crossbows all ready, revealing a murderous aura.
This squad leader Qian has always been a guy who sees money, but today he is so serious that he doesn't even dare to accept gifts, it seems that someone is supervising, and if he wants to bribe to pass the test, it will definitely not work.
Pei Ming said tentatively again: "Captain Qian, but my caravan, there are many goods to be transported to your Zhennan Pass, don't you need Zhennan Pass, look at this ......?"
"I don't care! I'm not allowed to go in anyway. "Old money still doesn't come in.
Pei Ming was helpless, shook his head and sighed and walked back to the caravan, discussed it with everyone a little, and had to take the caravan back, and the merchants who formed the caravan with Pei Ming on the road were also depressed.
Because there is no way to go to Beizhang through Zhennan Pass, it means that many of the richer cottages can't go, so it will be in vain to prepare so many goods this year, so it will be a miserable loss.
For today's plan, I had to go to some cottages in this area first, and then come to see the situation after a while.
Luo Darthead and several of his dart masters also came to Pei Ming's side, asked a few words, and sighed when they talked about it, speaking of which, Pei Ming and other merchants hired dart masters to go to Luzhu Village all the time, and if they were forced to return early this time, the income of the dart masters would also be greatly affected.
Luo Darttou listened to Pei Ming's plan to walk around the nearby cottage for a few days, and also nodded in agreement, at this time, Luo Darttou suddenly looked around, and said strangely: "Boss Pei, where is your cousin? Why don't you see others?"
"Oh, my cousin received a summons this morning, saying that the sect has something to call and has left the caravan and hurried back to the sect. Of course, Pei Ming will not tell the truth, but will say casually.
The caravan couldn't pass through Zhennan Pass, so it had to go elsewhere first, Pei Ming was still sitting in the carriage, feeling uneasy all the way, thinking that he couldn't cover Liang Cheng's arrival at Luzhu Village as planned, not to mention the loss of the caravan, just say how to explain to Shangfeng when he went back.
......
Let's say that Liang Cheng left the caravan and stood not far from Zhennan Pass, thinking about how to pass through Zhennan Pass smoothly.
At this time, Liang Cheng found that in addition to the caravan, there were still some pedestrians on the road to the direction of Zhennan Pass, the caravan was without exception, all were forbidden to pass through, the situation of pedestrians seemed to be a little different, Liang Cheng saw a few pedestrians from a distance seemed to show something, and then they were successfully released.
Liang Cheng thought to himself, since there are certificates to clear the customs, then there is a way, and go over to see how they got the release, what kind of certificates they presented, and he is a little prepared.
If you can pass the customs by showing what credentials, then there is hope, and the easiest way is to go back to the road to block pedestrians, and be a mountain king who blocks the road and robs, specializing in robbing these people who can clear the customs.
It is not difficult to rob other people's customs clearance vouchers and then turn into other people's appearances, but it is not the property that is robbed, but the customs clearance voucher.
But before doing such a thing as a roadblock robbery, you still have to see clearly what the clearance certificate you want to grab looks like, thinking of this, Liang Cheng walked slowly towards Zhennan Pass with a few pedestrians in a hurry.
Coming to the front, Liang Cheng saw that the pedestrians who were ready to pass the customs also lined up in a short line, one after another to show their identity cards to pass the customs, Liang Cheng had excellent eyesight, and saw from a distance that the identity cards presented by these pedestrians were not exactly the same, but different, and there were several different styles.
In this way, most people can clear the customs, only a few people were stopped and ordered to return the same way, Liang Cheng thought to himself what the truth is, so he carefully looked at the people who had cleared the customs normally, and saw that those people could enter the Zhennan Pass after the inspection had to recite a sentence in their mouths: "God Sang's blessing." ”
Liang Cheng suddenly realized, remembering what Pei Ming said before, the defenders of this Zhennanguan are not under the control of the imperial court of the Great Xuanguo, due to the particularity of their location, they have always been autonomous, and they all belong to an organization called the Mulberry God Sect, and they are the people of this organization.
It seems that the matter is very simple, as long as it is a member of the Sangshen Sect, Zhennan Pass will give it permission, if not, then it will not be able to pass.
Liang Cheng thought to himself, this is really a coincidence, he is now a member of the Sangshen Sect, he was recognized in Qingliangzhai before, didn't he just get the identity of an elder of Qingliangzhai, the identity card is still well kept, and now it can be used.
It seems that a few days ago I did a good job of helping them in Qingliangzhai, which is considered a good relationship, and the result is also convenient for others, and it is convenient for oneself, and there is no need to do the thing of blocking the road and robbing it.
So Liang Cheng unhurriedly lined up with the line, and after about a cup of tea, Liang Cheng came to the front of the gate in the south of the town.
As soon as the guard stretched out his hand, Liang Cheng handed over the identity card of the elder of Qingliangzhai that he had already taken out, and the soldier took the identity card and put it in a strange box to verify it, and he didn't know what method was used to check the authenticity.
Liang Cheng was not worried, because his identity was not fake, but he had really won the recognition of Qingliang Cottage, and he had sworn to serve the Sang God at that time, but he swore in the name of Du Yan, and it had nothing to do with him Liang Cheng. Since he was planning to clear the customs now, Liang Cheng certainly didn't mind using the identity of Du Yan, the elder of Qingliangzhai.
At this time, the box that checked the authenticity emitted a green light, and the box faintly emitted a pattern in the shape of three mulberry leaves, and the soldier took out the brand, handed it back to Liang Cheng, and said: "It turned out to be the elder of Qingliangzhai, he is really young and promising, and he is a new elder." ”
Liang Cheng smiled and nodded, reached out to take back the token and put it away, and did not forget to reverently read it in his mouth: "God Mulberry bless." ”
Seeing that the soldier also nodded in return, Liang Cheng walked towards the gate of Zhennan Pass.
