: Being rejected
Hearing the sound of the city gate opening, those who were lying, sitting, sleeping or waking up were like a faucet that was suddenly turned on and exploded with a 'swish'.
"The city gate is open!"
"Quick, quick, grab your things and rush in!"
"Don't sleep, the city gate is open!"
"Who the hell stepped on my face?!"
The people in Xiushui Village had never seen this battle before, and they immediately backed away in fear, fearing that they would be affected by these crazy refugees.
The soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and they immediately shouted at Zheng Daqiao: "Bring your people in quickly!" Then they and other soldiers clenched the long swords in their hands, and stared at Zheng Daqiao fiercely.
Refugees coming up.
"Stay back, everyone! Stay back!"
"Did you hear that? If we take another step forward, the knives in our hands will not have eyes!"
Unfortunately, the refugees were going crazy and no one stopped. The one at the front was so frightened when he saw the knife that he wanted to step back, but unfortunately he was pushed forward by the refugees behind him.
One of them was even more unlucky, and he lunged at the sword in the soldier's hand with great accuracy. The next moment, blood splattered everywhere, and the noisy crowd finally calmed down.
Although the soldier did not expect that someone would pounce on him, he did not even blink his eyes and only sneered: "Are you still making trouble? Whoever dares to charge into the city again will be the next to die!"
At this time, Zheng Daqiao and others had entered the city, and the city gate was quickly closed by soldiers with quick eyes and hands. There were people lying on the ground whose life and death were unknown for reference. The remaining refugees stopped rushing, and all of them slumped their shoulders and turned their heads angrily.
Return to where you were just now.
After a long time, Xia Dazhuang trembled and said, "How can they kill people?"
Xia Dahai stuffed the book in his arms and cursed angrily: "The world is declining, cruel and unkind!"
Xia Huai: "." How long has it been, and her uncle still has time to read? Maybe it's because her ideological level has not reached a high level, so she can't understand it.
Zhang Meihua couldn't understand it even more. She took out the book from Xia Dahai's arms and knocked it hard: "I let you read it, take a look!"
Xia Dahai held his head and yelled in confusion: "Why are you beating me properly!" Sure enough, his family still had too much food, and if he didn't have enough to eat, he wouldn't have the energy to beat him! Maybe he should give my mother a hint and ask her to save some money.
food!
"Ahem." Xia Dashan quickly saved his elder brother: "Look, Village Chief Zhang has also passed by!"
Everyone took a closer look and found that it was indeed Village Chief Zhang.
At this time, Village Chief Zhang happened to walk to the city gate, only a few steps away from the guarding soldiers. However, before he could move forward, he was stopped by a soldier holding a long knife: "Stop! Come again!"
Village Chief Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded with a smile, and took out a piece of silver from his arms: "Sir, please be accommodating and let our family go in, there are few of us." He pointed to the family behind him.
.
The soldier glanced at the silver in Village Chief Zhang's hand, immediately took it back, and shouted coldly: "Back off! There is no place for you in the city now, go back!"
Village Chief Zhang's face darkened, and then he smiled awkwardly and said: "Don't you think it's too little, sir? As long as our family can get in, this one" He stretched out two fingers and rubbed it: "It will definitely be enough."
"Isn't it true that you don't understand people?" The soldier walked forward angrily, holding the knife and waving it: "I told you, no one can enter the city!"
When Village Chief Zhang saw that the tip of the knife was almost reaching his eyes, he finally realized that the soldier could not get in. He also felt angry in his heart. He pointed at the soldier and cursed: "No one can get in? I really think I'm blind."
, you just let in more than a dozen people! To put it nicely, it’s not because you think we have no money!”
The soldier was scolded by Village Chief Zhang and sneered: "Oh? How do you know they won't come out after they go in?"
Village Chief Zhang was shocked when he heard this: "What do you mean?" Could it be that these soldiers took the money and didn't intend to do anything? If that was the case, wouldn't the money have been wasted?
In an instant, Village Chief Zhang's mood became inexplicably complicated. He envied Zheng Daqiao and his party for being able to enter the city, hated the soldiers for looking down on others, and was secretly happy that he did not have to spend money in vain.
"People go into the city to do some shopping and have to be out in two hours. What about you? You want to go into the city and not come out. Can these two things be the same?"
The soldiers were not stupid. Zheng Daqiao gave him money to go shopping in the city. He not only made it convenient but also earned money for drinks. Anyway, they are not afraid of cheating when the time comes. Someone will chase them out!
But the person in front of me obviously doesn't mean this. He only wants to settle down in the county with so little money? Not to mention that he doesn't like this little money, he doesn't dare to do it even if he lacks this little money! The county magistrate knows about it and he will lose his job.
It's a trivial matter. Who are you going to cry about if your life is lost?!
"What? They just went shopping?"
"Huh, what if that's not the case? Otherwise, how do you think I can put people in?" The soldier raised the long knife in his hand again: "Okay, go back quickly!"
Village Chief Zhang went there with great enthusiasm, but came back dejected with his tail between his legs.
The villagers of Xiushui Village vaguely guessed what Village Chief Zhang was discussing with the soldiers. They were not stupid enough to think that Village Chief Zhang had plans for them, so when Village Chief Zhang came back, the expressions of the villagers were not very good.
Especially Li Sangen and Wang Heizi, the most generous people in the village. As if they couldn't see Village Chief Zhang's unhappiness, they stepped forward one by one and teased:
"Hey, what is the village chief doing?"
"Are you asking whether people from our village can enter the city? I said, village chief, you are too good. If we can really enter the city, we Xiushui villagers will have to thank you! If I, Wang Heizi, marry a wife and have a baby
, my son will set up a memorial tablet for you in the future and worship it well!"
The other villagers couldn't help laughing and responded after hearing this. Village Chief Zhang was so angry that he was almost smoking, and he waved his sleeves to avoid them.
On the contrary, Xia Huai felt a little regretful. If she had known that Zheng Daqiao could enter the city, she should have established a good relationship with him. Maybe he could take her in! Even if she couldn't get in, she could still ask him to help buy some things.
!
At this time, in Lin'an County.
Zheng Daqiao, who was being muttered by Xia Huai, frowned: "Why has the price of food increased so much?"
The attitude of the shopkeeper of the food store was much worse than that of the shopkeeper in Lishui Town. He laughed when he heard this: "You just came into town, right? The price of food has already increased. If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it. Don't stand in the way.
I’m in business!”
Zheng Daqiao's subordinate Ma Da couldn't help but stood up and yelled: "What do you mean? How dare you talk to our elder brother like this? Do you still want to do business?"
Zheng Erqiao nodded in agreement: "That's right! You are so rude!"
Although the shopkeeper of the food store was a little frightened by Zheng Daqiao's team, he was not intimidated. He immediately pointed outside and said, "Hey, you dare to use force when you come to Lin'an County? Have you seen any patrols outside? As long as you dare
Take action, and I will put you in jail the next moment! Come on! Beat me if you can!"
Ma was so angry that he immediately held up his fists and went up to teach the shopkeeper how to behave. Only then did Zheng Daqiao shout: "Ma Da!"
"Brother, how can a scholar be unbearable?"
Zheng Erqiao nodded: "Yes, he deserves a beating. He will only be obedient after he is punished!"
"Since you still call me boss, you have to listen to me." Zheng Daqiao gave Ma Da a comforting look, then glared at his own brother, and then he handed him over and said, "I'm sorry, my people
We are so young and energetic that we asked the shopkeeper to help us choose some good rice and wheat flour."
They have to bear risks as escorts, so the wages are very high. They have money but don't have a family, so they are more willing to eat.
Being an escort is already very hard. If you don't eat well, won't you suffer?
