The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 27 Caravan Entry Management

On the official road leading to Polang Pass in Hengshan County, a caravan of hundreds of people was slowly advancing.At this moment, Lin Yifan was dressed like a rich man, next to him was Wang Fugui, who was dressed as a merchant, and on the other side was a handsome servant, upon closer inspection, it was Luo Qing'er who was disguised as a man.

At this time, Wang Fugui had a bitter face. He never expected that the dignified county magistrate would think of entering the customs with him to do business.This made it difficult for everyone. First of all, the imperial court clearly stipulated that the county magistrate should not leave the county at will.Secondly, my lord is a dignified official and scholar, how can he get along with the lowly merchants?In the end, this road is not peaceful. If you encounter any danger, wouldn't you be in danger?

But Lin Yifan was unmoved, and argued hard instead.Hengshan is developing very smoothly now, and it is no problem to hand it over to everyone to manage it.The purpose of entering the customs this time to do business is to investigate news in the county and seek opportunities that are beneficial to Hengshan.As for safety, there is no need to worry at all. The caravan members formed are all veterans, and it is more than enough to deal with thieves.

Everyone couldn't hold back Lin Yifan, so they had no choice but to agree.It's just that the caravan personnel are adjusted again, and more elites are transferred in, in order to protect the adults.

As for why there was Luo Qing'er, Wang Fugui couldn't help shaking his head with a wry smile.This Luo Qing'er usually looks like Xiaojiabiyu, but she is quite courageous. When she heard that the caravan was leaving the customs, she went straight to the county magistrate and asked to take her with her.What everyone didn't expect was that the county magistrate agreed, and he agreed with ecstasy.I heard that he looked at Luo Qing'er differently, but I didn't expect it to be true.

But in the end, naturally, Luo Yi rushed over angrily and just reprimanded him.As soon as he was about to strike, the county magistrate immediately stood in front of Luo Qing'er, making it impossible for Luo Yi to strike, so he could only wave his hands resentfully, and left without saying a word.

Now the two are talking and laughing while riding side by side, Wang Fugui can only try to stay as far away as possible, so as not to disturb their young couple, didn't you see that even Niu Dali, who has always been dull, is hanging behind with interest.

However, things didn't go well. I saw a horse rushing out of the woods, charging towards the caravan aggressively.

"Enemy attack!" Everyone exclaimed, without panic, they quickly gathered in a row, with their swords and spears forward, and strictly waited for the enemy to come.

But soon, that rider didn't rush over, and the speed slowed down before the formation, and everyone saw the face of the comer clearly.

"Brother?" Luo Qing'er asked in surprise.

"Withdraw, the alarm is off." Niu vigorously let go of the mace he was clenched, and shouted at everyone.

Lin Yifan looked at the progressive Luo Feng with a displeased expression on his face, okay, what do you think of me, you kid, guard me like a thief, and I won't eat your sister unless she takes the initiative.

Luo Feng came to his sister, glanced at Lin Yifan, snorted coldly, and said to Luo Qing'er: "Little sister, come back with me, do you know how angry father is?"

"I won't go back." Luo Qing'er replied firmly, "Brother, I have been growing up in Hengshan since I was a child, and I have never seen the outside world. Moreover, my mother's tomb is inside the pass. Not long after I was born , Mother passed away, I have never even seen her face, can't I even take a look at her grave? Brother, I want to go and see mother. "

"Sister." Luo Feng felt sentimental at Luo Qing's words. He only met his mother when he was a child, and as time went by, his appearance had become blurred.Now mother's tomb has not been taken care of for more than ten years, so it must be dilapidated. Being a son and daughter is really unfilial. "Since I'm going to see my mother, I'll go too. At the same time, I can protect you nearby so that no one will get dirty." After speaking, he gave Lin Yifan a hard look.

Lin Yifan rolled his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to Luo Feng, and said directly to Luo Qing'er: "Sister Qing'er, why didn't you say earlier, this time we enter the customs, we will go to pay homage to your mother."

Luo Feng sneered and said, "Qing'er is my younger sister, what's the matter with you? Don't bark."

Lin Yifan was annoyed, but seeing Luo Qing'er looking at him apologetically, he could only hold back his anger and said, "Then, Qing'er, let's go."

When Qing'er got a little farther away, Lin Yifan leaned in front of Luo Feng and said with a low laugh: "Brother uncle, we will be one family in the future, don't make trouble." After speaking, he urged the horse to move forward.

Luo Feng was furious when he heard the words, and was about to strike. Niu Dali was already standing between the two of them, staring at him with a warning face.

Soon, the caravan came to Polang Pass, and saw that the city wall of Polang Pass was nearly 500 meters long, lying on the valley entrance between two high mountains, and the pass wall was as high as four or five feet.It was built decades ago when the empire was in decline, and it took more than ten years to prevent the Jinwolf from invading southward.Now there are [-] troops stationed in the pass, plus the various mountain pass camps and checkpoints, a total of nearly [-] troops have gathered at the border around Polang Pass, forming an unbreakable line of defense.Once the Golden Werewolf violated the border, as long as this line of defense lasted for a month, the garrisons from all over Weiyuan County would continue to move in. After that, the entire Anzhou would mobilize with all its strength, gathering hundreds of thousands of troops to defend against the Golden Werewolf.Because of this, facing such a steel-like defense line, the Golden Werewolf has not made a large-scale southward invasion for decades.

After decades of comfort, the current Polang Pass has become slightly dilapidated, with overgrown weeds and moss on the wall.For the caravan slowly approaching in the distance, the guards at the gate are ready.

Wang Fugui brought his hands down to the closed door and called for the door, only then did someone shout from above: "Who are you and why are you here? If you don't explain clearly, you will be shot to death with random arrows."

"This general, I am a businessman from Hengshan County. He wants to enter the customs and enter the prefecture to do business. Here is the road guide issued by the county government of Hengshan County. Please watch it, General."

Soon, a basket came down from above, Wang Fugui hurriedly put Lu Yin into the basket, and pressed a piece of ten taels of silver on it.

The basket was hoisted up quickly, and after a while, the people above replied, "You wait, I will report to the general."

In the barracks in Guannei, in the general's mansion.A middle-aged man with a beautiful beard and sword eyebrows, dressed in a general uniform, held a teacup in one hand, looked at the road guide that was presented just now with the other hand, frowned slightly, and said to the left and right: "This Hengshan County was just looted by the Golden Werewolves at the beginning of the year. Last time, I was made things difficult by the people of the county government and forced a thousand refugees into it. I didn’t expect it to develop, and even had a caravan. It’s unexpected. Do you think we should let them pass the customs?”

"General, don't you need to think about it? This Hengshan County was originally a bone that the imperial court pushed for the Golden Werewolf to eat. Now that someone has sent money to us, then you don't have to be polite, stop all their goods, and let them go back to Hengshan. That's it." A senior officer at the side suggested indifferently.

"No, general." Another white-faced and beardless officer with a strong build stood up and said: "General, since the imperial court restricted the business exchanges with the golden werewolf, we have been very poor at breaking the wolf pass, and everyone is pitifully scarce now. Now There are business groups from Hengshan County passing by here. We can collect customs duties here and even do business with them. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone. If we rob them, no one will come here. Otherwise, the brothers can only live a hard life with the little military pay from the court. Please think again, general."

After the officer finished speaking, the rest of the generals agreed with each other. Now the civil servants in the imperial court are very harsh on these military generals, and their salaries will be deducted from time to time, and the food and grass are only enough for the soldiers to feed their stomachs.What's even more exasperating is that they have been clamoring for disarmament and reduction of military expenditures.If the army is disarmed, many generals will be affected. Is a general without soldiers still a general?Now in the court, the civil and military disputes are very fierce, and the hard life of the frontier soldiers still shows no sign of improvement.

The general drank tea slowly, and finally put the teacup on the table, saying: "Let them enter the customs, and at the same time bring the person in charge to see me."

Soon, the closed door slowly opened, and Wang Fugui hurriedly led the caravan into Guanzhong.

At this time, an officer came over, looked Wang Fugui up and down, and said, "You are the person in charge, right? Our general has an invitation."

"Okay, the villain will go there now, but I don't know if I can let my nephew go with me. He is my elder brother's son and one of the principals." Seeing Lin Yifan winking at him, Wang Fugui hurriedly begged.

The officer glanced at Lin Yifan, seeing that he looked like a young master, he nodded and said, "Alright then, you two come with me."
