Chapter 54: Leaving the city
The middle-aged man, the young man in long robes, and others felt angry and anxious when they saw that they had decided on the ownership of the money in just a few moments.
The young man in a long gown rolled his eyes and said, “Miss Su, aren’t you afraid that all the money has been swallowed up by the shopkeeper? Or has he enriched his own pocket?”
“Yes! Anyone would be tempted by such a huge sum of money. How can we guarantee the shopkeeper? I will do as you say.”
Faced with the doubts of several people, the owner of the foot shop was angry, but he did not lose his calm and said calmly: “If you are worried, you can just watch in the shop until I give the money. Let’s all disperse.”
Su Yin said, “I believe in Boss Xu’s character.”
She was willing to take a gamble.
“You, you… you are really…” The young man in a long gown left angrily.
Others left unwillingly.
After those few people left, the others followed suit.
“Boss Xu, it’s best to spend all the money today, and spread the news about the porridge soup today.”
The foot shop owner understood the answer and nodded hurriedly, “I understand, I’ll let people out right away to buy.”
“The city has just been looted, so I’m afraid there isn’t that much food,” the waiter said.
Wan Sanye, who had been silent until now, said quietly, “Don’t worry, those big merchants have many places to hide grain, and it’s impossible for those people to take them all away.
If it doesn’t work, give the money to those grain merchants and order grain first.”
Su Yin agrees. It’s not that she understands the wealthy businessmen, but that she believes in Wan Sanye.
The owner of the foot shop suddenly bowed deeply to Su Yin, “Little old man, I would like to thank Miss Su for your kindness.”
Su Yin hurriedly helped him up.
She just did a little work, but she didn’t dare to take this title.
Rather than letting the government officials pocket those things, it is better to return them to the people of Yongqing County. It would be good to save a few.
After packing up, the people from Xinghua Village rode away.
Wan Sanye left with them.
Su Baozhu asked curiously: “Yinyin, why do you have to let the boss spend the money today?”
“Money moves people’s hearts. If you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst.”
Greed is the original sin, and no one can guarantee whether someone will take the risk. Seeking wealth and killing people in the middle of the night.
She didn’t want the owner of the foot shop to be killed because of this incident.
When the money is gone, no one cares about it.
Su Baozhu understood and learned at the same time.
Coming out of the East Street and walking to the main street, the shops on both sides were severely beaten.
There was scarlet blood on the bluestone floor. Cries could be heard from time to time from each shop. Corpses were placed on the ground.
The door was covered with white cloth, and the whole sky in Yongqing County was filled with sadness.
Su Yin’s eyes darkened, and when she thought of the scene where officials and gangsters colluded last night, she felt more and more disgusted with this dynasty. She didn’t like it from the bottom of her heart.
In a rotten dynasty, the people at the bottom suffer the most.
As soon as we reached the gate of the city, the officers and soldiers guarding the city stared eagerly at the people entering and exiting.
There were few people coming into the city and many people leaving the city.
The officers and soldiers at the city gate shouted loudly, “Everyone lines up and goes out one by one.”
Everyone who leaves the city will be paid attention to, especially those who go out with carriages and luggage.
There was a carriage lined up in front of Xinghua Village. It didn’t look gorgeous on the outside, but it had a lot of servants and belongings behind it, which showed that it was a wealthy family.
After the gangsters purged them, this family still had this property, which shows that they are capable.
Su Baozhu tugged on Su Yin’s sleeve, “Yinyin, look over there.”
Looking along her line of sight, there were corpses placed at the foot of the city not far away. These corpses were just left to dry without being dealt with.
She saw several familiar corpses at a glance. Those people were none other than travelers leaving the foot shop.
Now they are all lying quietly at the foot of the city, becoming the souls of those who died unjustly at the hands of the gangsters.
Madam Xu couldn’t help but sigh, “If these people had listened to Yinyin, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
“Everyone has his own destiny, maybe this is their destiny.”
Mother Su also felt sorry for them, but personally, there is a person’s life.
“Master, there really is no one hiding in our car.”
The voice from the front drew the attention of several people.
“If you say there is no one, then there is no one. Let me check and I will naturally know if there is anyone.”
The two officers and soldiers stepped forward and were about to rummage. It was clear at a glance what was on the carriage and whether anyone could be hidden.
The other party made this kind of gesture makes it clear that you are not really looking for someone, but for benefits.
The people in the car in front immediately asked the maid to take out the money and hand it to the officers and soldiers. The officers gave them a cushion before letting them leave.
As soon as they left, it was the people of Xinghua Village’s turn.
The officers and soldiers took one look at the clothes worn by the people in Xinghua Village, and then looked at the pots and pans in the car, and they felt very disgusted.
Do you think he will be merciful and let you go like this? No, not only will the other party not let you go, but they will squeeze you even harder.
Having seen the battle in front, when the officers and soldiers came forward, Yang Dashan handed the prepared copper plates to the hands of the officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers glanced at the copper plates in their hands, sneered disdainfully, took the copper plates away, but did not release them.
“Master, can we leave?”
“Why are we leaving? We haven’t checked carefully yet. The county magistrate said that there are lone gangsters hiding in the city, and we are ordered to investigate. If you take the gangsters out, it will be your fault. Can you bear it?”
“But there are some pots and pans and some quilts in our car, so it’s hard to hide anyone,” Yang Rong couldn’t help but say.
The officer and soldier snorted coldly and gave him a cold look.
Yang Dashan hurriedly scolded his son, “Shut up.”
Immediately, he raised a flattering smile and pointed at the official, “Don’t be surprised if the child is ignorant.
You are all considering the safety of the people, so you should check more carefully.”
While talking, Yang Dashan stuffed another piece of silver into his pocket.
The gatekeeper took a look and put a smile on his face, “You are still sensible and understand our difficulties.”
“Let’s go.”
The other party took a casual look and waved to the people at the door to let them go.
Su Yin’s mule cart was about to leave with them, but the city guards stopped them.
Wan Sanye, who was following the cart, broke into a cold sweat nervously.
Yang Dachuan hurriedly said: “We are together.”
Yang Dashan noticed it and hurriedly came over to explain, “Master, we are from the same family.”
The officer glanced at him and said in a faint voice, “You can leave, but their car was not checked.”
Su Yin handed the money to his second uncle.
These people make it clear that they want money. If you don’t give them money, you can’t leave the city.
If something can be solved with a little money, then it is not a problem.
As long as the three (gods) of wealth (wealth) are given away, it will be nothing worth mentioning.
Yang Dachuan hurriedly delivered the dime to the official.
The man took one look, kicked it into his pocket with satisfaction, and pretended to check.
When he walked to Mr. Wan San, he turned his eyes and looked up and down at the fat man in front of him.
“You raise your head.”
