Chapter 19

Hearing the sound of the city gate opening, those who were lying or sitting or sleeping or waking up were like a faucet that was suddenly turned on and exploded with a 'wow'.

"The gates are open!"

"Hurry up, 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 such a battle before, and they immediately backed away in fright, lest they be affected by these crazy refugees.

The soldiers guarding the city gate seemed to be used to this kind of thing, and immediately shouted at Zheng Daqiao: "Take your people in!" Then he and the other soldiers clenched the long knives in their hands, and stared fiercely at Zheng Daqiao. Up refugees.

"Back back! Back up!"

"Did you hear that? One more step forward, the knives in our hands don't have eyes!"

It's a pity that the refugees seemed crazy, and no one stopped. The one in the front was so frightened by the knife that he wanted to retreat, but unfortunately, he was pushed forward violently by the refugees behind him.

One of them was even more unlucky, and he jumped at the sword in the soldier's hand with great precision. The next moment, blood was splashed everywhere, and the noisy crowd finally calmed down.

Although the soldier didn't expect someone to pounce on him, he didn't even blink his eyes. He just sneered and said, "Is there still trouble? Whoever dares to rush into the city will be the next to die!"

At this moment, Zheng Daqiao led the people into the city, and the city gate was quickly closed by the soldiers, and there were people lying on the ground whose life and death were unknown for reference. Go back to where you were just now.

After a long time, Xia Dazhuang said tremblingly, "He, how could they kill people."

Xia Dahai stuffed the book in his hand into his bosom, and also cursed angrily: "The world is going down, cruel and inhumane!"

Xia Huai: "." What time is it, does her uncle still have time to read?Maybe it's because her ideological realm 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'll let you read it, take a look!"

Xia Dahai hugged his head and shouted in confusion: "Why hit me hard!" Sure enough, his family still had too much food, and if he didn't have enough to eat, he didn't have the energy to beat him!Maybe he should hint to my old lady and ask her to save some food!

"Cough." Xia Dashan quickly rescued his elder brother: "Look, Village Chief Zhang has also passed!"

Everyone took a closer look, and it turned out to be Village Chief Zhang.

At this time, Village Chief Zhang happened to walk up to the city gate, only a few steps away from the gate guard soldiers, but before he could move forward, he was stopped by the soldiers with long knives: "Stop! Come again!"

Village head Zhang jumped in his heart, nodded quickly with a smile, and took out a piece of silver from his arms: "My lord, please be accommodating, let our family go in, we are few people." He pointed to the family behind him .

The soldier glanced at the silver in Village Chief Zhang's hand, immediately took it back, and yelled coldly: "Stand back! There is no place for you in the city now, go back!"

Village head Zhang's face darkened, and then he smiled embarrassingly: "Is it too little, my lord, as long as we can let our family in, this." He stretched out two fingers and rubbed them together: "It will definitely be less."

"I said, do you not understand people's language?" The soldier walked forward angrily holding the knife, and waved the knife: "I said, no one can enter the city!"

Seeing that the point of the knife was almost stretched out in front of his eyes, Village Chief Zhang finally realized that the soldier was not willing to enter, and he felt angry. He pointed at the soldier and cursed: "No one can enter? I really think I am blind." , Just now you clearly put a dozen people in! It sounds nice, but it’s not that you dislike us for having no money!”

The soldier was scolded by village head Zhang and sneered: "Oh? How do you know they won't come out after entering?"

Village head Zhang was shocked when he heard the words: "What do you mean?" Could it be that these soldiers didn't plan to do things after taking the money?If this is the case, isn't the money going to waste?

In an instant, Village Chief Zhang's mood became inexplicably complicated.Envious of Zheng Daqiao and his party being able to enter the city, hating the soldiers for looking down on others, secretly glad that they don't have to spend money in vain.
"They are going into the city to purchase, and they will be out in two hours, what about you? You want to enter the city and never come out, can these two things be the same?"

The soldiers were not stupid either. Zheng Daqiao gave money to buy them in the city, which was convenient for him and earned money for drinking.Anyway, when the time comes, they are not afraid of playing tricks, someone will kick them out!
But the person in front of him obviously didn't mean that, and wanted to settle in the county with just a little money?Don't say he doesn't like this little money, even if he lacks this little money, he doesn't dare to do it!The magistrate of the county knew that it was a trivial matter for him to lose his job. Who would he cry with if he lost his life? !
"What? They're just going shopping?"

"Hmph, so what? Otherwise, how do you think I put people in?" The soldier raised the long knife in his hand again: "Okay, go back quickly!"

Village head Zhang went over with pride, but came back disheartened with his tail between his legs.

The villagers of Xiushui Village vaguely guessed what Village Chief Zhang was discussing with the soldiers. They would not be so foolish as to think that Village Chief Zhang was planning 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 unscrupulous people in the village, as if they couldn't see Village Chief Zhang's unhappiness, they leaned forward one by one to tease:
"Hey, what is the village chief doing?"

"Did you ask if people in our village can enter the city? I said that you are too kind, the village chief. If you can really enter the city, the villagers of Xiushui Village should thank you very much! If my Wang Heizi marries a wife and has a baby , in the future, my baby will set up a memorial tablet for you and enshrine it!"

The other villagers couldn't help laughing and responding when they heard it. Village head Zhang was so angry that he was about to smoke, and waved his sleeves to avoid them.

On the contrary, Xia Huai felt a little pity. If she had known that Zheng Daqiao would be able to enter the city, she should have a good relationship with him, and she might be able to take her in!Even if you can't get in, you can still ask the other party to help you buy something!

At this time, in Lin'an County.

Zheng Daqiao, who was being muttered by Xia Huai, frowned: "Why has the food price increased so much?"

The attitude of the shopkeeper of the grain shop is much worse than that of the shopkeeper in Lishui Town. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "It looks like he just entered the city, right? The price of this grain has already increased, so don't buy it if you don't want to buy it. Don't stand here and get in the way." I do business!"

Ma Da, Zheng Daqiao's subordinate, couldn't help standing up and scolding: "What do you mean? How dare you talk to our elder brother like that? Do you still want to do business!"

Zheng Erqiao nodded in agreement: "Yes! You are so rude!"

Although the shopkeeper of the grain shop was a little apprehensive about Zheng Daqiao's team, he wasn't too frightened, and immediately pointed outside and said, "Hey, you dare to use force when you come to our Lin'an County? Have you seen any patrolling outside? You just have to dare Do it, and I will put you in jail the next moment! Come on! Hit me if you have the ability!"

Ma was so angry that he immediately went up with his fists clenched to teach the shopkeeper how to be a man, Zheng Daqiao said: "Ma Da!"

"Brother, what can a scholar bear or can't bear!"

Zheng Erqiao nodded: "Yes, he deserves a beating, and he will be obedient after cleaning up!"

"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 cupped his hands and stepped forward: "I'm sorry, my subordinates Young and energetic, he also asked the shopkeeper to help us choose some good rice and wheat flour."

They have to bear the risk of running darts, so the wages are very high, and they have money on hand but do not have a family, so they are more willing to eat.

Walking darts is already very hard, if you don't eat well, wouldn't you suffer?
