Chapter 297 Entering the City
As soon as they heard that Chapter 297 said that a person was charged two taels of silver to enter the city, the people in the exile team went crazy.

Isn't this an obvious robbery?

"Don't make any noise. Those who want to go can go. Those who don't want to go need something and want someone to take it with them. Just find someone by yourself and discuss with them. Or work together to pay for the money to enter the city. We will enter the city in half an hour. Don’t wait for anyone.”

There are still two hours until noon.

Everyone was sitting on the ground. They had been on their way in the dark before dawn. They had been walking for more than three hours until they got here. Everyone was so exhausted that they sat on the ground and didn't want to get up.

Su Chengyi had long noticed that the refugees' eyes uncontrollably fell on the women in their team, as well as the horses.

Those were the horses of the bandits that they had confiscated in Peach Blossom Village. Fortunately, these horses were there. They can carry all the heavy luggage in the team. Even the old, weak, women and children in their team can't walk, and they can go up and sit for a while while the men lead the horses.

Lower your voice and say to your family,
"I'm afraid it's not safe outside the city at night."

After hearing what Uncle Eighth said, Sumi Bao also turned his head to look at the refugees. This look really made her see the problem.

"There is a problem in this Yudong County."

Gu Yueyan has always been bold and careful. After her eighth uncle reminded her, she also discovered this strange phenomenon.

No wonder, just now she had always felt that there were malicious eyes secretly looking at the women in their exile group.

It turned out that she thought she was too sensitive.

Now it seems that there is indeed a problem in this east Henan county.

"Then shall we go in?"

As an old escort, Butler Su has traveled extensively and experienced a lot.

As soon as I heard the second master ask this question, he immediately said,

"We have to Chapter 297 enter the city. If we don't Chapter 297 enter the city at this time, something could easily happen. Fortunately, it is daytime, so we Chapter 297 quickly enter the city, buy things and then come out. Then lead the team to leave."

"But if we leave so blatantly, won't they come out of the city to catch us?"

Sumi Bao listened to her father asking what was in her heart and nodded quickly.

Butler Su said,

"When I was inquiring about Chapter 297's entry into the city just now, I also found out that every day at noon, the wealthy businessmen in the city would send people out of the city to give porridge. Once a day."

Oh, Sumi Bao nodded. No wonder there are so many refugees outside the city.

From the looks of it, it should be to eat this free bowl of porridge every day.

"Everyone has discussed it. Eighteen people Chapter 297 will enter the city. After entering, we will be divided into three teams, one to buy food, one to buy daily necessities, and one to buy cars."

Wang Changling has been a Beijing official for so many years, and it is not for nothing.

What he is best at is observing words and expressions.

At this time, Wang Changling also discovered something was wrong with the refugees outside the city gate.

"Look at this drought. We are going all the way north, but we still don't know what the drought will be like. Chapter 297 Let's go to the city and see if we can buy some water."

Wang Changling gets a headache whenever he mentions water.

"There is water in the city, but it is expensive. I just asked about it. Water is sold in the city, and a bucket costs two taels of silver."

Two taels of silver?

After listening to Butler Su's words, the eighteen men who followed Wang Changling to Chapter 297 enter the city all gasped.

This Henan East County is really at odds with two taels of silver.

Chapter 297: Entering the city costs two taels of silver, and a bucket of water also costs two taels of silver.

It's really hard to live.

"I asked the refugees and they said that you don't have to buy water. Every day at noon, when the rich people in the city send people out to give out porridge, they will also give out water. It is divided according to the head. Half a bowl for adults and half a bowl for two children. "

This really doesn’t want people to die, nor does it want people to live. Just take a breath.

Sumi Bao was puzzled.

Why did the governor of East Henan County do this?
"There are some evil things here. Let's quickly Chapter 297 enter the city, buy things, and leave the city as soon as possible."

Everyone in the exile team has experienced life and death many times and is very sensitive to danger.

Some people even want to leave here and leave quickly.

But I also feel that if I don’t enter the city now, and go further north, I don’t know how long it will take before I encounter another city.

With such a drought, they didn't need to think about the villages they encountered as they moved forward. They knew that nine out of ten villages would be empty, and the villagers had all fled. There was no water to be found anywhere. Therefore, no matter how expensive water is, you still have to go to the city to buy it.

Su Chengyi nodded,
"The situation may be even worse in the future. We can't gamble. If we go hundreds of miles north, we won't be able to find water. We won't die of thirst."

Ok,
Everyone nodded and became more determined to Chapter 297 enter the city as soon as possible.

"Our housekeeper Su, I'll go."

Sumi Bao: [There are Su Jiu and I, dad, why don’t I go...]

Su Mibao didn't say the following words, but Su Chengyi understood them instantly.

What his daughter meant was that she would take the opportunity to take out something from her fairy mansion. Only by borrowing Chapter 297 to enter the city can things be considered a clear path.

"There are also Su Jiu and my daughter. There are four of us from the Su family."

Wang Changling was not surprised, why did the Su family have to spend money to let a little baby Chapter 297 enter the city.

Everyone in the exile team knows that this young ancestor of the Su family is a powerful person.

The exile team, plus the Su family, made up to twenty-two people entering the city in Chapter 297. With a large number of people, we are not afraid that if we buy something, it will be robbed and we will not be able to take it out.

Everyone followed the crowd of Chapter 297 entering the city, paid money and lined up to enter the city.

When he came to the Su family, Su Chengyi smiled and said to the gatekeeper at the city gate,

"My lord, do you think this kid can be a little lighter?"

"We are talking about heads, no matter how big or small. If you can't pay two taels of silver per person, you won't come in."

The guard guard cursed, pushed Su Chengyi away, and told the people behind him to hurry up.

"If you don't come in, get out of here and don't stop me from doing my job."

The soldier stretched out his hand and was about to push Su Jiu away. Unexpectedly, he pushed but did not push.

Su Jiu stood there with little Sumi Bao on her back, not even looking at the soldiers.

Soldier: [Sure enough, what Zhao Xiaoqi said just now is true, these people are powerful. 】

Zhao Xiaoqi?
Sumi Bao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Two of Liu Laoer's three gangs died, and only Zhao Xiaoqi remained. It was originally heard that Zhao Xiaoqi was assigned by Liu Laoer to take Widow Lu to join Wang Laoba's sisters.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xiaoqi actually brought Widow Lu to this east Henan County.

If you think about it, it's easy to understand. The natural disaster is so serious. Wang Laoba's sister's family may have fled the famine long ago.

Zhao Xiaoqi couldn't find anyone to entrust her to, so he could only take Widow Lu and follow the refugee flow all the way here.

I just didn’t expect it, it’s such a coincidence. Zhao Xiaoqi actually met their exile team and recognized them. According to the gatekeeper, Zhao Xiaoqi had already reported their exile team to the government.

"Oh, sir, don't be angry. Let's go in and we'll just pay."

Su Chengyi quickly took out eight taels of silver and stuffed it into the hands of the gatekeeper.

"There are still eight taels left."

The gatekeeper raised a disgusting face.

"Isn't it true that the official has two taels per person? There are four of us, eight taels is just right, right?"

"That was just now, but now it's increased. One person has four taels. If you want to come in, go in. If you don't, go away."

Su Chengyi's face fell. This was too dark. If he didn't agree with him, he would get paid more. "If you talk too much, you'll get five taels per person."

Before Bing Zu finished his words, Su Chengyi quickly took out eight taels and stuffed them into Bing Zu's hands with a smile on his face.

"If you pay eight taels more, it will be eight taels. It's all up to you, the official. Let's go in now so we won't stand in the way of the official."

After stuffing the money, he quickly pushed Su Jiu and left.

Humph, dog!
When Sumi Bao passed by the gatekeeper, he waved his chubby hands and babbling, as if intentionally or unintentionally. He easily put all the things on the soldier into the space.

Soldier: [This little baby is so white and tender. If you report it later, you will definitely be able to sell it at a good price if you capture it. And this cold-faced boy is so handsome. Too bad it's not a woman. Otherwise, if you offer it to the county governor, you will definitely get a lot of reward. 】

Sumibao listened to the voices of the gatekeepers,
really,

There is something fishy in the city of East Henan Province.

Could it be that the Sheriff actually collaborated with others to abduct women and children among the refugees?
