Volume 1 Heaven and Earth Cage Protection Fee

The two returned to the inn with a smile, Fan Ling looked for the shopkeeper and took a rag to wipe her hands, and Lin Xiaodie behind her was holding the door of the inn, panting, and it took a while to catch her breath.

Fan Ling knocked on Du Han's door, stuffed the roast duck to the other party, and then lay down in her room, weighing the silver in her pocket, there was still a lot left.

Before leaving, her father took out all the silver he had saved for several years, and Fan Ling didn't take it all away, only took dozens of broken silver, for her, in fact, whether she wanted silver or not was the same, even if she didn't have it, she could find a way to get it, but after reading so many sage books, her concept changed a lot.

Lin Xiaodie collapsed on the bed after entering the door, looking at Fan Ling's curious gaze, Lin Xiaodie ignored the other party and threw the other party a slender back.

Fan Ling chuckled, had nothing to do, took out a book from her bag and flipped through it.

On the sea north of Linglong Island, Su Can and his grandfather stepped on the sea and walked on the waves, often on tiptoe, and the two of them could float far away.

Su Can glanced back at the direction of Linglong Island, and after looking at the old man in front of him again, he no longer hesitated, and strode forward, "Grandpa, where are we going?"

The old man in the white robe with three star spots tattooed on his chest did not smile, "You can go wherever you want, since you really don't know where to go, then look for a direction to go to the black, see where you can go on this road, if you feel that the direction is not good, you can change the route halfway." ”

Su Can nodded, stopped talking, and just followed behind the old man.

On Linglong Island, Fan Zhengxin frowned and sat absent-mindedly on the Antang of the Yamen, thinking not of Fan Ling, but of his younger brother whom he hadn't seen for many years, others said that his younger brother was dead, but he knew that how could his younger brother die in the sea.

An illusory white figure appeared beside Fan Zhengxin, and the officials in the public court never saw it, "Really don't you want to protect her?"

Fan Zhengxin held his head with his right hand, squinted his eyes and said casually, "Why do you need others to protect your own way, since the predecessor has already preached the Fa, then she will break it by herself, and I can do what I should do." ”

The old man looked up at the sky, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the tile roof to the sky, "Back then, Li Zitou was unwilling to cover the sky and became the surname Ji, but now he has turned into Fan, and he doesn't even grasp the creation in his hands?" Li Bingfeng has already changed his life against the sky, and he left Nantianxing by chance, and I can't see where he can go in the future, as for you... Is it really going to rot here?"

"Why not? Don't bother with all the pickled dirty things, just relax. ”

The voice of the two talking was inaudible in the hall.

After the old man left, Fan Zhengxin sighed, "Why is it bitter?"

The officials in the hall heard that they were looking at each other behind them, and they didn't know why.

In the inn, Fan Ling walked out of the door from time to time to buy food outside, and becoming a physical cultivator was really tormenting for her, and she was too hungry easily.

Fortunately, practicing physical skills will not make herself the kind of female man with five big and three coarse, otherwise Fan Ling will not become a physical cultivator by saying anything, which girl in the world doesn't want to have an angel face and a devil body? Fan Ling made up for it, and goosebumps appeared all over her body.

Lin Xiaodie, who has not been idle since she was a child, is rarely idle and has nothing to do, so she has to hold a sage book and study hard.

Late at night, the cool sea breeze blows the wind chimes outside the inn, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong.

Lin Xiaodie went to bed early, Fan Ling lay on the bed with wide eyes, she hadn't dreamed since she left Linglong Island, which made her quite puzzled, could it be that she dreamed and picked a place?

Just when Fan Ling was about to fall asleep, there was a faint voice from next door.

Fan Ling looked at the feet resting on her chest, and moved to the side, I don't know if it was too much movement, or Lin Xiaodie was too sensitive, she rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at her young lady.

Fan Ling raised her index finger and made a silent motion.

The two of them didn't wear shoes, and they lay on the wall of the inn and listened carefully.

There happened to be a small hole in the wall on Lin Xiaodie's side, and just like that, one peeped and the other eavesdropped, looking extremely obscene.

The group of five next door was dressed in black, with black hats, and their faces were covered, with only one pair of eyes exposed.

A strong man ripped off the black veil, revealing his true face, Lin Xiaodie covered his mouth and waved his hand at Fan Ling, and said softly, "Miss, come and see, it turns out that these people are the wanted criminals on the daytime notice, and each person is worth five hundred taels of gold." ”

Fan Ling looked over there through the hole, and the bearded man who took off his veil threw a burden on the table, and after the bag was opened, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, "Huang Gongheng couldn't think of the people's fat and people's ointment that he scavenged during the day, but we stole it, but unfortunately, the limelight has been tight recently, and the money can't reach the people for the time being." ”

Another petite figure also ripped off his mask, it was a woman.

Fan Ling swallowed her saliva and said to Lin Xiaodie, "It's the proprietress of the store and the guy in the firewood room, I thought it was a black spot, but I didn't expect it to rob the rich and help the poor." ”

The innkeeper sighed and said, "No matter how tight the limelight is, you have to send this money down, isn't it? If you send it one day earlier, few people will starve to death, and Huang Gongheng, the old Wang Ba, will one day want him to break his body into ten thousand pieces." ”

Another masked man said, Rest early, you have to open tomorrow morning, just find a time for the monkey to send the money down, the proprietress is right, send it a day earlier, there will be few people starving to death, just Huang Gongheng, the old Wang Ba, we really can't do anything about him, every time he travels, he has hundreds of people behind him, and he has also gathered a lot of people, even if he gathers the green forest heroes on the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid it's not enough for him to kill, I see, it's still like this, Huang Gongheng doesn't die for a day, we steal him for a lifetime, it's a virtuous circle. ”

The bearded man took a sip of wine and spat angrily, "Damn, like a holiday rat all day long, when is this a day a head?" Besides, if we steal his money, one day it will be discovered, and the weasel will go to loot it when he runs out of money, and he may not know who will suffer when the time comes, in my opinion, they have mountains and wild cultivators, we might as well go to those righteous sects to ask for help, those self-proclaimed immortals on the mountain will not care about the life and death of the people." ”

The proprietress took the wine jug in the hand of the bearded man, raised her head and drank a sip: "Those self-proclaimed immortals on the mountain, if they really care about the life and death of mortals, they would have shot a long time ago, where will they wait for someone to beg them, who are the immortals? Aren't immortals also human beings? Don't they also have to eat, drink, and Lazar? If you want me to say that Huang Gongheng and they have already reached a consensus with those so-called immortals, we don't come to the door to ask for it, if we really come to the door, I'm afraid that one will die another, just drop it for the time being, the limelight has been tight recently, let the monkey be careful, don't really get caught." ”

"Miss, it turns out that they are good people. ”

Fan Ling made a silent gesture again, remembering what her grandfather said, there is a war going on here, and it is inevitable that there will be these corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Suddenly, Fan Ling smiled, we don't have a Du Han, besides, I am an innate spiritual root, and it should be no problem to learn physical arts.

The next day, the three people who were supposed to leave stayed in the inn for an extra day, and Du Han originally wanted to leave early, because he was running out of money... However, Fan Ling righteously paid him for the house.

A thin man entered through the back door of the inn, took a package from the bearded man in the firewood room and carefully retreated, and Fan Ling, who was sitting in the inn eating snacks, showed a meaningful smile.

At the next table, a young man was holding a pot of wine, drinking bowl after bowl, looking very lonely, but there were more such people these years, and no one took care of it.

There were four people at a table talking about what had happened recently.

"I heard that, the weasel announced that after three days, all merchant ships that came and went would have to pay twice as much tax, and if they did not pay, they would be detained until the money was paid. ”

"Hey, this weasel will also engage in these actions in the rear, if you really want him to go to the battlefield, he will be the first to die, he has looted so much gold, silver and jewelry, and I don't see how well the war in front of him is, I think he weasel just wants to take the opportunity to make a wave of national trouble." ”

"Who says it's not, it's okay on our side, the surrounding big cities have been plagued for many years, and the people can't open the pot, but where do the weasels care about their life and death, should they be looted or looted, it is said that a poor family can't afford to pay, so they will tear down the beams of the house, it's really a lack of morality, no, it's the turn of this wave of wind harbor, I also heard that the weasel has already sent a large wave of troops to this side, after eating this meal, I also have to go." ”

As he was talking, a long army came from the west and entered the city, and for a while, the streets of Bofenggang were in chaos.

"Shake off. ”

"Get out of here. ”

The sergeant who opened the way waved the long whip in his hand and whipped a cadre of people who stood in the way.

One by one, the armoured Wu Commander rushed into the shops with the soldiers in tow, even the small inn where Fan Ling and the others were.

Wu Chang, who was wearing armor, wore a steel knife at his waist, and walked into the inn with a high spirit, "Who is the boss, get out of here." ”

Today, the proprietress was dressed in a group of yellow flowers, and walked downstairs with a twist, "Yo, this general is so imposing, come and come, tell the brothers to sit down and drink wine, and play a trick." ”

That Wu Chang's eyes lit up, it was rare to see such a feminine boss lady, "What are you doing? Why are you not giving money?" hahaha..."

Captain Wu's eyes shone with an evil light, and his words made all the soldiers present smile.

The bearded man and others who walked from the firewood room to the front hall had a cold look in their eyes.

Thinking that there was still something to do, Wu Chang put away his smile and said coldly, "Huang Gonggong has a will, in order to supplement the military expenses at the front, he will charge you and others an additional official tax, an official land tax, one hundred taels for occupying the official land, a hundred taels for entry and exit, and a tax for living and working in peace and contentment, a total of three hundred taels." ”

"Isn't this protection money?" Lin Xiaodie whispered, and Fan Ling immediately asked her to shut up, but it still fell into the other party's ears.

After Wu Chang saw Fan Ling and the others, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hadn't noticed these two very watery little girls before.

Wu Chang walked towards Fan Ling and the others, and while reaching out to touch Lin Xiaodie's face, he said with a smile, "That's right, it's the protection fee, but if you two follow this Wu Chang, you will save money in the future." ”

Fan Ling's face gradually turned cold, and the dust under her feet began to tremble slightly.
