Daoist priest, stop fighting. The avenue is almost gone.

Chapter 90 Li Gou Sheng’s adventures as a gatekeeper and strange news from Longjiang Mansion
Yi Chen raised his head and looked into the distance. A huge city with a height of more than 25 meters rose on the horizon, looking extremely majestic.

The three huge gilt characters of Longjiang Mansion are even more shining in the sun, and they are extremely majestic.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

Big cities are just different, even the city walls are higher than others and majestic!

Compared with Longjiang Prefecture, Ping'an County is no different from the countryside.

As for Fengyun County, let alone mention it.

Pure cattle and horses.

Yi Chen rubbed his hands, and he didn't know what he thought of. He strode forward quickly, and Xiao Miao followed closely behind with his luggage on his back.

...

...

Li Gou Sheng's life as a gatekeeper is ideal.

Forty years ago, his grandfather guarded the city gate in Longjiang Prefecture.

Twenty years ago, his father guarded the city gate in Longjiang Prefecture.

Now, he is guarding the city gate in Longjiang Mansion, and he just joined the job today through connections.

With the persistence of three generations, life has been prosperous.

"stop!"

"What's in the car?"

Li Gouchen squinted his eyes at a merchant lining up to enter the city, and spoke in a bad tone.

Although the merchant in front of him was wearing silk and satin and had an jade ring on his finger, Gou Sheng didn't like to look at him seriously.

He has a hundred ways to deal with the stinky businessmen from other places in a reasonable way.

In an instant, a piece of silver weighing one penny was quietly handed to his hand, which made Gou Sheng's eyes suddenly light up.

sensible!

Although this money is not much, and even I have to hand over [-]% to the boss, and I can only get [-]%, but I can't bear the number of people who come to the city every day.

He finally knew how the three three-bedroom mansions in his home city came to be.

Guarding the city gate is really a good deal to ensure harvest during drought and flood!
Li Gou Sheng instantly understood the foresight of his father and grandfather. At this time, his heart was filled with gratitude to his family.

If you earn two taels of silver a day, wouldn’t it be 20 taels a week, 200 taels a month, and 2 taels a year?
Oh my god, my old Li family is going to have a big break!

Gou Sheng, who is a graduate of private school, can't help but think of the beautiful life in the future.

After he saves money for a week, he must go to Rabbit Pavilion to reward himself.

Don't ask him why Gou Sheng didn't go to Feng Yue Tower for tea.

Because although he, Gou Sheng, is thin and small, he is still a man.

Fengyue Tower was a place where men and women fought, and he disdained it.

Rabbit Pavilion is his destination, and a real man has to fight with men.

He is a loser, focusing on both offense and defense.

He is happy whether he wins or loses.

Just when Gou Sheng was in high spirits and was about to have a big fight, he suddenly felt that the sky was getting dark.

A tall man over two meters tall stood in front of him.

The arms were thick enough to run a horse, the muscles all over his body were tangled, the fists were bigger than casseroles, and the strong pectoralis major muscles held up the front of his clothes.

The most important thing is that he has no expression.

Looking at the big arms of the person in front of him, Gou Sheng had no doubt that this person could slap his head in from the neck and out from the buttocks.

Damn it, is this a Taoist priest?
This is the bandit trying to dress up.

Gou Sheng staggered back three steps, as if he was ready to run away at any time if there was any trouble.

"Gatekeeper, how much does it cost to enter the city?" Yi Chen frowned and moved his big face closer.

"One penny, just one penny, Taoist Priest." Gou Sheng shouted and dodged back quickly. He felt like he was suffocating. The Taoist's eyes were like a ruthless hand, tightly grasping his heart.

He was terrified.

Hearing this, Yi Chen stretched out his big hand to help the thin dog in front of him.

Because he felt that the person in front of him was about to fall.

As a good Taoist priest who promised his master to pursue the path of benevolence and righteousness, he felt that he should give him a helping hand.

However, at this time, Gou Sheng almost wanted to cry.

God, this bandit wants to hit someone, he is so lawless, where did he come from?

Suddenly, Yi Chen held up his hand, and a broken piece of silver weighing one penny suddenly appeared in his palm.

"Taoist Master, that's all I have." Gou Sheng said with a sad face.

Next to Gou Sheng, an older veteran guarding the gate picked up a big butt bag and stuck it in Gou Dan's face.

Yi Chen: "..."

He didn't understand it, but he was shocked.

"Master Dao, this is my eldest nephew. He is new here. It's his first day guarding the gate. He doesn't understand the rules. You must not be like him."

"How can a strange person like you ask for money from you?"

"Your Majesty has a lot of it, just treat him like a fart."

The veteran gatekeeper said to Yi Chen with a careful smile, and suddenly Yi Chen had two more taels of silver in his big hand.

20 seconds later, just like that, Yi Chen walked into the city gate without spending any money and earned two taels and one silver.I can't push it even if I push it, but it won't work if I don't accept it.

The local defenders were so polite.

It wasn't until Yi Chen could no longer be seen that Gou Sheng covered his face and said to the veteran defender: "Second uncle, why are you beating me!"

"I'm trying to save you by beating you." The veteran guarding the city pointed at Gou Sheng and cursed: "Who asked you to collect money from such a strong man?"

"Isn't this a rule? Each person gets a penny, and I didn't charge more." Li Goucheng said aggrievedly, "I can't make up for it myself."

"Are you arrogant? Just collect more of the easy-to-handle sheep at the back, and you can always make up for it."

"Gou Sheng, you are still young. Guarding the city gate is not a job that everyone can do. You need to be brighter with your tactics."

"You can do whatever you want with those ordinary people and small businessmen."

"But if you dare to reach out to the big business houses, big families and various powerful people in the city, your father and I will go to Longjiang to fish for you. Do you know that?" The second uncle was so angry that he swung again. A slap hit Gou Sheng's face.

*

Naturally, Yi Chen didn't know about the drama of his second uncle teaching his nephew. He was walking on a long street with people coming and going.

This long street is paved with long strips of bluestone and is wide enough to accommodate six horse-drawn carriages.

There are many customers and merchants coming and going, the streets are crowded with people, cars are rolling, horses are passing by, countless flags and banners are dancing fiercely on both sides of the long street, and there is an endless stream of hawkers on the street.

Several of the stores were particularly impressive, and Yi Chen was quite impressed.

There is Baozhitang. 【Seller of medicine.】

There is Yuelai Pavilion. 【Do it for the inn.】

There is Fengyue Tower. 【Seafood seller.】

There is Julongzhai. 【Eating.】

There is Tianbing Pavilion. 【This one is a magic weapon seller.】

....
"Longjiang Mansion is extraordinary."

After walking casually for a while, Yi Chen only had nine words in his impression of Longjiang Mansion.

More people, more goods, more money, more experts.

It is not uncommon to see practitioners on the streets of Longjiang Mansion in Fengyun County. Among them, a white-haired old man riding a donkey swaggering through the city made Yi Chen's heart skip a beat. Even with his current strength, Feeling stressed.

The two of them looked at each other without saying a word, separated their gazes, and left.

What Yi Chen didn't notice was that a brave salesman on the long street stared at his back for two or three seconds, then turned around and disappeared around the corner of the street.

After walking around, Yi Chen did not continue wandering, but came to the door of Julongzhai.

After walking in the mountains and forests for so many days, he felt like a bird was coming out of his mouth. It was time to soothe his five internal organs.

After finding a seat by the window and sitting down, a waiter with a smile on his face came over and handed over a menu.

Yi Chen swiped his finger.

"This, this, this..."

"Sir, do you want shredded potatoes with vinegar, shredded cabbage, stir-fried shredded lettuce...these?" The waiter began to take shorthand silently.

"No, I don't want any of these vegetarian dishes. Give me the rest."

"By the way, I don't want rice. Master Dao, I don't like rice. Do you remember that?"

Waiter: “….”

After a while, two large tables full of dishes were served one after another, and Yi Chen and Xiao Miao began to feast.

Of course, they serve separate meals.

Yi Chen made another whole fish feast for Xiao Miao, and asked the second brother Xiao Miao to eat whatever he wanted to eat and let him take the menu and pick up the dishes for Xiao Miao.

Julongzhai is indeed a famous restaurant in Longjiang Prefecture. With the attitude of Yi Chen and Xiao Miao, the guests who came and went only looked at it a few times, and there was no scene where the diners were shocked. This made Yi Chen's attitude toward The evaluation of Longjiang Mansion has been raised to another level.

A big city is a big city, well-informed.

Then it's hunting time.

Just when Yi Chen and food were inseparable, a conversation between people at the next table suddenly caught his attention.

"Boss Zhang, have you heard?"

"More than 80 members of Yuan Li's family in the west of the city are all dead." A middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman in brocade clothes said in a low voice to the diners at the same table.

"How could you not know, Boss Wang, that the younger brother of my distant nephew's cousin works in the government office. I heard that Yuanwai Li's family died in such a tragic way."

"Everyone is like a starving ghost reincarnated. They have eaten all the food in the house. Some of them have nothing to eat, and they just eat themselves."

"Some people chased and gnawed the buttocks of the horses and cows in the house, and were kicked to death by the horses and cows."

"Some people entered the latrine directly, ugh!" Boss Zhang also said mysteriously.

"Hey, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the past few days. In order to maintain stability, the yamen announced to the outside world that they were raped by strongmen. I know of two or three cases, and I don't know how many more there are."

"Something must have happened recently."

"I don't live at home anymore anyway. I took my wife, children and children to live directly at Laifu Inn, 500 meters away from Zhen'ansi, to avoid the limelight."

"That idiotic boss raised the price and charged me 20 taels of silver a night. He still couldn't live in it. You can't live there. There are many people living there. I had no choice. I gritted my teeth and booked two rooms. That's it. It's idiotic. The inn is already full.”

Hearing this, Boss Zhang couldn't sit still.

"Damn it, why didn't I think of this trick? Brother, please help me. I'm willing to pay 25 taels a night if we share a room with each other."

"Hey, Brother Zhang, look at what you said. We are all brothers. For 30 taels a night, I will make the decision to share a room with you."

"Then...Okay, Brother Wang, I will move here tonight."

"Well, we are all brothers. Come, Brother Zhang, try a piece of Li Zhuang white meat from Julongzhai. It is delicious. You must try it." Boss Wang smiled and pushed a plate of Li Zhuang white meat in front of Boss Zhang. .
