Chapter 94: City Gate Bangting Wanted Order

There are thirteen towns under the jurisdiction of Tongyang County. It is conceivable that Tongyang is located in a remote area and there are not many merchants. However, people from the thirteen towns occasionally come to the city to do business and business, so the county is naturally lively.

Many people with long journeys get up early and rush to the road. In order to sell their things in a hurry, most of them wait early when the city gate opens, and rush out of the city before the city gate closes. In addition, Tongyang is surrounded by mountains. Water only connects to the north and south gates, and there are quite a lot of people queuing up to enter the city every day.

As the saying goes, all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit.

There will be a market for some people, no, since people gather outside the city gate every morning and wait to enter and exit, naturally, the entrance of the city gate is located on the side of the Bangting Pavilion where the most crowded people flow, and over time, various stalls and hawkers gather. .

Wontons, fried cakes, steamed buns, rice dumplings, selling tea, and even selling wine, everything is available here. This is simply a small morning market.

It was a coincidence that Song Xinglin walked quickly to this bustling small city, when he settled down better than Su. When he passed the Bangting Pavilion, the closed city gate opened with a creak.

Song Xinglin hurriedly stopped and took a look, only to see two groups of soldiers holding red-tasseled spears pouring out from inside, quickly standing along the two sides of the city gate.

Song Xinglin was a little anxious. After all, he had been to Tongyang many times and had waited here many times. He was no stranger to such a scene.

After waiting for the soldiers to stand still, a writing table will be brought out and placed on the right side of the city gate entrance, where a city gate official will sit there to verify and post road guides.

And it didn't take much effort to put all these things together. After a while, when the city gate officials were seated, the inspection for entering the city would begin, and I had to hurry back as soon as possible.

Just thinking about it, when Song Xinglin raised his foot and was about to leave, suddenly, in the open doorway, the city gate officials disappeared, but three yamen servants suddenly came out from inside?And as they walked, one of the yamen servants kept ringing the gong in his hand?

Song Xinglin was surprised and stopped immediately.

I saw three yamen servants beating the gong to clear the way, passing through the main road held by the soldiers, and after a while, they came to the Bangting Pavilion not far from me, almost close at hand.

How is this going?

The people around couldn't help whispering to each other, talking one after another.

"Hey, could it be that something important happened in the county?"

"Or is it that our newly appointed county magistrate finally wants a new official to take office? What new policies are going to be introduced?"

"Oh, don't be in a hurry, don't you see that the yamen servants are posting the list? Let's squeeze to the front booth and take a look."

"Yes, yes, hurry up, brothers, let's go and have a look."

In the commotion, Song Xinglin found that the people around him were all rushing to the front booth, and they all flocked to watch the excitement, and they couldn't even take care of the queue.

Song Xinglin glanced at the dense crowd around the eye list booth and clicked his tongue twice, not out of curiosity, but, there were so many people, it was so crowded, not to mention that his own guest told him to go back earlier, so he didn't worry about staying behind. She was queuing there alone, and there was a big guy in the car after all.

Thinking of this, Song Xinglin didn't go over there to join in the fun, and didn't even have time to distract himself by glancing at the poster booth over there, and went directly to the small stalls through the crowd.

Song Xinglin, who left quickly, naturally didn't hear what the yamen servant said after posting the poster under the booth. After all, there were too many people and the voice was too noisy;
Naturally, he didn't pay attention and was distracted, so he naturally didn't see the wanted portraits of the two children behind the three yamen servants and on the wanted arrest warrant just posted in the center of the booth.

But Song Xinglin thought it would be inconvenient to eat soup, wonton, rice noodles, alkaline water noodles, etc. He didn't choose to eat.

Thinking that he would go to the city and sell the big tiger and get money, he would definitely take the diners to a restaurant to have a good meal. Right now, he just needs to fill his stomach first, so he chose to buy the existing steamed stuffed buns.

Considering his appetite, Song Xinglin spent ten big coins, bought two meat buns worth two cents, and bought vegetarian buns stuffed with ground vegetables and vegetables for one penny for the rest.

Holding eight steaming steamed buns in his hands through the still crowded crowd, Song Xinglin rushed back without even looking at the Bangting Pavilion behind him. When he returned to Yu Su, the queue had already begun to move slowly.

Song Xinglin rushed back to Yu Su's side in two steps. As soon as he arrived, he hurriedly stuffed the two individually wrapped meat buns into Yu Su's arms, urging, "Hurry up, Yuyu."

He himself took a stuffed bun with plain stuffing in his mouth and stuffed the remaining five hemp sticks into the back basket, and started to move while holding the handrail of the cart with both hands.

When Yu Su saw Song Xinglin like this, she was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, she turned around and took out the five plain steamed buns that he threw into the back basket hanging on the armrest of the car just now, untied the leaf bag, and held it up in her hands. He said, while following the pace of the little man, feeding.

"Little brother, eat slowly, don't choke."

Song Xinglin's Awu Awu got rid of the sloppy stuff in his mouth, and when he saw the steamed stuffed bun brought to his mouth by the guest, his eyes were full of smiles. , only the distressed urging kept in his mouth.

"Don't worry about me, Yuyu, you can eat it too, eat it quickly, the meat buns will smell bad when they get cold."

Yu Su's answer was that the steamed stuffed bun in his hand moved closer to someone's mouth, "Little brother, do your best to pull the cart to eat, so hurry up and eat, and I'll eat it when you're done."

As soon as he said that, Song Xinglin was also secretly happy, enjoying the care and love of his house guest, when various voices came from the slowly moving team.

One of the voices was the most urgent and irritable, and it came from behind the husband and wife.

"Hey, what a fat man, where did he die? He came back before the city gate opened as promised, and now he is about to be checked in front of him. Why isn't this fat man coming back!"

The man behind him looked irritable.

It's also a coincidence that it corresponds to that sentence that people said without saying anything.

This man just complained, and the fat guy he was talking about happened to come to him.

It is estimated that this fat brother also found out that the team entering the city started to check. Anyway, when he arrived, this hairy fat man with a face of Maitreya Buddha cheerfully ran towards the complaining man with open arms.

Fatty's showing off voice sounded at the same time as Brother Kuan's complaint.

One: "Hahaha, brother, guess what I saw just now?"

One: "The fat man said he would go and come back? Now that the gates of the city are open, why did you come back? Where did you die just now?"

The fat man who was being reprimanded was unaware of his friend's complaints. He jumped up and stuffed the fried cake he bought into the complaining man's hand, and then the two brothers grabbed the man's shoulders to beg for mercy.

"Oh brother, my good brother, don't be angry, brother, didn't I see the excitement in front of me when I was buying food, brother, I went to take a look at it, didn't I just come back after watching for fun Well, brother, don’t be angry, brother didn’t delay entering the city, well, it’s only been a while..."
