Chapter 262

The guards guarding the gate of the city are not decorations. If they want to enter the city, each person has to pay a large poll tax of two hundred yuan. Fang Lin and his party are undoubtedly a pile of white money in their eyes.

Mrs. Li was a little bit aggrieved, "I came here after a lot of hardships, but I still have to pay to get in. This is not a way for people to live!"

Litui persuaded her in a low voice while supporting her, "Mother, there is nothing to do. If all the refugees from outside enter the city, the city will not be in chaos. You forgot about Sister Lin and her family. What happened?" Litmus was referring to the incident where the refugees tried to break in to grab their belongings, Fang Lin reminded them afterward, and Mrs. Li murmured a few words at that time, saying that Mrs. Zhao lured wolves into the house.

After being married to Shen Ping'an for so many days, at first Li Shi was still acting like a mother-in-law, but she couldn't bear Shi Rui, a girl who could talk and was diligent in her hands and feet. Seeing that her relationship with her son was getting better, Li Shi didn't want to be a The wicked mother-in-law is disgusting.

At this time, hearing what Shi Rui, the daughter-in-law, said, she laughed twice, and was about to say that she was worrying for nothing, but suddenly saw the guards guarding the city gate driving a few refugees ahead of them from the queue Going out, Li's mouth opened slightly, surprised in her heart, she was really told by Litui, these soldiers don't show any sympathy, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth, and muttered a few words in a low voice.

The guard was not polite to the refugees at all. Those who paid the money questioned their names and origins carefully, and those who had no money could only stay aside. Occasionally, when these people were in a bad mood, they just punched and kicked them.

Fang Lin watched coldly, she thought, being good at finding a sense of presence in people who are weaker than herself is probably a common problem of these little people living at the bottom.

Brother Yu didn't know anything yet, so he wasn't afraid to see this scene, he was still smiling, and after a while he started sucking his fingers, Fang Lin asked, "Brother Yu has teeth already."

"That's not right, I've been stuffing everything into my mouth these days. Dawu carved a little rabbit for him yesterday, and this kid almost swallowed it down." Fang Li smiled helplessly, "By the way Sister, you said that these refugees who can't enter the city are staying outside the city, and nothing will happen, right?"

Fang Lin smiled, "Qingyang County is not like Baihe Town, the government will take care of everything that happens here, don't worry." The smile couldn't hide the worry on her face, she was worried about another thing now thing.

Among the people queuing up outside, they looked neither like refugees in ragged clothes nor like powerful figures. I'm afraid that the barrier at the gate of the city would be difficult.Fang Lin felt a little regretful. They walked in a hurry along the way, and they didn't expect to pay money to enter the city, let alone change into worn clothes to save people's eyes. But now it's useless to worry about it. .

When they actually got to the gate of the city, did they know if it was a group of more than a dozen of them who restrained the guard guarding the gate, or those people looked at them old and disabled, as well as children and pregnant women, and moved their hearts of compassion?The gatekeepers only registered their names and places of origin, not only did they not embarrass them, but they also exempted Shen Yaozu, Shen Ruyi and Brother Yu from the poll tax. Even so, they also paid nearly three taels of silver.

The situation in Qingyang County is much better than that in Baihe Town. There are no refugees that can be seen everywhere, and there are even vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street, but the business is a little deserted.

When entering the city, one has to find a place to settle down first. Although several men have been to Qingyang before, the situation is different now, and everyone's eyes are smeared.
