Chapter 329
Now Lizhou is full of mixed fish and dragons, the world is chaotic, and there are huge business opportunities, so it attracts many people to do business, and there is an endless stream, which is inexhaustible.

Even business firms from Kyoto came here, not to mention the neighboring Pingzhou.

So Liang Huaji took this as his name, saying that they were from a family of merchants and merchants in Pingzhou, and they were people who took care of the family.

Pingzhou is so big, how can anyone know if there is a Gu family?No one will delve into it.

This general is just a military general who guards the gate, and he has not yet taken the position of general. Now he is called a general, which is very useful.

He took the cloth bag handed over by Liang Huaji, weighed it in his hand, found it was very heavy, then opened it, and saw that it was filled with white silver, at least hundreds of taels, and he was secretly happy.

However, he didn't show the slightest expression on his face. He kept his composure, looked at Gu Heng, and said, "The Gu family in Pingzhou? You came from Pingzhou. There are so many cities where you can buy horses. Why did you come to Huoheng?" Cloud City?"

He took the money, but did not let the road pass for them.

"It's like this. My son traveled all the way to the mountains and rivers. He heard that Fire Cloud City has a special geography, beautiful scenery, and unique style, so we came here to play, so we decided to buy a good horse in Fire Cloud City and return to Pingzhou."

Liang Huaji's thinking was constantly running in his mind, and he responded freely, answering without any flaws, showing extremely high ingenuity.

"Then do you have any official documents issued by the court?" The general did not doubt Liang Huaji's words, but asked instead.

"Passing order?" Everyone was taken aback for a moment, as if they didn't know, and they hadn't heard of any passing documents needed to enter the city.

"Perhaps you also know that Lizhou is extremely chaotic now, with rampant cults and brutal witches and barbarians. Therefore, people who come to Lizhou to do business must first file with the imperial court and issue a business document. With this document, they can enter and leave Lizhou If you do business here, you cannot enter Huoyun City without business documents."

The general said, with a stern and selfless face, acting in accordance with the rules.

"Our Gu family is a family of merchants and merchants. We have a big business. Of course, there are business documents issued by the court, but the business documents are with our master. The young master came to Lizhou to buy horses this time. It was a sudden decision, so there is no Bring business documents from our lord."

Meng Chang stood up at this moment and spoke.

"I'm afraid this won't work. You don't have business documents, so you must not enter Fire Cloud City. This is a rule set by the court, and no one can break it. You should go and get the business documents before I can let you enter the city."

The general resolutely said that there seemed to be no room for negotiation. Hearing this, several people were secretly anxious. If they couldn't buy horses, how could they go to Nanyang City?

Meng Chang couldn't bear it even more, he wished he could kill this general immediately.

This general is only the second step of the martial arts master, Hubao Leiyin. With his strength and the distance between the two of them, he can definitely give him a fatal blow without missing.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he still endured it.

"General, please be flexible. We will go in and buy enough horses, and we will leave immediately. It will not take more than an hour at most." Liang Huaji handed over a cloth bag again while speaking.

He was active in his mind, and felt that since this general had accepted his bribe, he was definitely not being selfless and meticulous on the surface, and acting in accordance with the rules, it seemed that he was deliberately making things difficult and trying to get more benefits from them.

Sure enough, as soon as he handed over the bag full of silver, the general took it naturally, and finally let go: "It's not impossible to let you enter the city, but I have to take a huge risk, there are too many people talking, It needs to be done thoroughly up and down, so you will hand over 1000 taels of silver for the management."

This general, actually opened his mouth like a lion, took two bags of money from them, and asked them to hand over 1000 taels of silver, which is really pushing an inch.

The Central Dynasty did file a record for those merchants who came to Lizhou to do business, and issued business permits. They only came to Huoyun City to buy horses, and did not bring goods here to sell. In fact, there are loopholes that can be exploited. No, you only need to pay a certain fee to enter.

The general who defended the city took them for a fool and wanted to kill them severely.

"Looking for death, you want to extort our money?" Meng Chang immediately became angry when he heard this, and couldn't suppress it, he burst out.

clang!clang!clang! ...In an instant, those soldiers guarding the city rushed forward and surrounded them, everyone was holding a big knife, and the blades were facing each other.

Ka Ka Ka... Even above the city tower, there was the sound of the cloud crossbow being pulled. The bowstring was pulled apart by several soldiers, and the huge crossbow was aimed at them.

The scene suddenly changed, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

It seems that the next moment, a tragic massacre will occur, blood staining the city gate.

"Hmph! Who dares to be presumptuous in Fire Cloud City? You people, without business documents, actually want to trespass on Fire Cloud City? Today, the City Lord is going to hold a birthday banquet in the City Lord's Mansion. I think you are all believers in a cult, and you want to take this opportunity Make trouble, arrest them all and interrogate them severely."

The general's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, he became ruthless and fierce, and he was so powerful that he framed them as cult believers in full view, and wanted to arrest them all and send them all to prison. It's vicious and very insidious.

Unscrupulous, lawless!
Everyone's expression changed.

Even Gu Heng didn't expect such a change. They just came to Huoyun City to buy horses, and then went to Nanyang City. They didn't want to cause trouble, let alone confront the officers and soldiers of the central imperial city.

This situation was unexpected.

He was quickly thinking about countermeasures in his mind, and finally spoke: "This general, how do you call him?"

"My scumbag!"

"General Gan, you have something to say, isn't it just 1000 taels of silver, why go to war?" Gu Heng said with a pleasant face, ready to spend money to eliminate disasters, and beg for peace.

This Gantang is obviously blackmailing them for money, but things that can be solved with money are not things.

He made a look, and a young man next to him took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket and handed them over.

There are a total of ten banknotes in this stack, each of which has a face value of one hundred taels of silver, which is exactly 1000 taels of silver.

This young man, named "Zhuo Yu", is a mid-grade Nian master who controls flying swords. He has a storage bag that Jiang Yi left for them, and there are a lot of money, pills and other resources for cultivation.

Gan Tang watched Gu Heng take out the 1000 taels of silver so readily, his eyes flashed with greed, and instead of accepting the passed silver, he said in a cold voice: "Just now it was 1000 taels of silver, now it is 5000 taels of silver. It’s changed, it’s [-] taels of silver, probably you’ve heard me just now, the city lord is going to hold a birthday banquet in the city lord’s mansion today, and all officials, big and small, will be there. Help you transfer it to the Lord City Master, so that you can enjoy different treatment in Huoyun City, without any hindrance."

Another lion opened his mouth!
1000 taels of silver is still not enough to satisfy Gan Tang's appetite, probably he won't let it go until he squeezes Gu Heng's group dry.

Gan Tang is a man of good morals, who has interpreted the greed of human nature to the extreme, and his ugly face is very disgusting.

"Gantang, greed is not enough to swallow elephants, do you really think that we are being taken advantage of and can only be blackmailed and slaughtered by you?"

Gu Heng saw through this person completely, and no longer chose to give in and compromise. Instead, he suddenly became strong and yelled: "Our Gu family, although it is a family of merchants, has a good relationship with the Governor's Mansion of Pingzhou, and even more so. Many rich and powerful people in Kyoto have contacts. I don’t know how much money they have to send every year to strengthen the relationship. Although they are not in power, they can still hire a few censors to handle affairs. Only one petition can make you, along with Huoyun City Lord, fell off the horse together and suffered the disaster of imprisonment and death, do you believe it or not?"

While speaking, he took a step forward, bursting out with a powerful aura, and ruthlessly pressed towards Gantang.

It is tolerable and unbearable.

In today's situation, it is absolutely impossible to swallow your anger. If you don't show a little toughness, you will really be treated as a soft persimmon and manipulated at will.

If it wasn't for this Huoyun City, he wouldn't need to talk so much nonsense, and he would directly kill the opponent, and it would be over once and for all.

It's a pity that big things are important, and you can't be impulsive and messy.

Ding Ding Deng! ! !
Gan Tang didn't seem to have expected Gu Heng's sudden outburst, he was startled on the spot, and his body backed up again and again.

"I, I, I..."

Under this powerful aura, and during this harsh questioning, his face was dull, his mouth trembled, and he couldn't speak clearly.

He is not even a general, just a small city guard general with a very low status, but he also knows the prestige of those censors, even princes and generals dare to impeach him, let alone him.

Once Huoyun City is attacked by the official censor, I am afraid that he will die without a place to bury him, and even the city lord will suffer accordingly.

"Speak up, why don't you speak up? Aren't you arrogant in front of me just now? Show me how arrogant you are again?" Gu Heng stared at Gan Tang, pressing him again and again, with arrogance and fearlessness.

If there is no huge support, these words will not be said at all, and there is no such momentum.

But Gu Heng is a fake, these words are all fabricated by him at will, they are not some kind of merchant family in Pingzhou, and they have nothing to do with the Central Dynasty.

However, he is the son of the Marquis of Liefeng from the Dali Kingdom, and he was born in a wealthy family. If the Dali Kingdom survives, he can be regarded as the son of a wealthy family, so he doesn't need any acting skills at all, and he can act in his true colors.
