The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 220 Heart money

As if he thought that Donghu didn't understand, he continued, "Business in the market is also divided into fair transactions. If you don't go on the official road next to it, you are not walking on the road that the common people cultivated privately. This is like, there is a plop. You don't live in the common room of the inn, you have to live in the upper room of Tianzihao.

Going to the next room, of course, will cost more money, and this road is the same. After leaving, you have to leave a heart as a thank you for the hard work of the people in the city.

There were also many people who built the road back then, and no one could thank them one by one, so they took money instead. "

Mind, thanks?
It sounds nice, but isn’t it just tolls?

No wonder the road next to it was so broken that it was not repaired. It turned out that it was waiting here.

Donghu hugged his shoulders and asked, "It's really strange that things happen every year, especially this year. Wang Fa Zhaozhao, the mainland is in full swing, and you guys are openly defrauding people of money. Tolls? Wearing this shirt is really a joke. "

The man smiled nonchalantly, "That's what you said wrong. When did I say, sir, that this money is for travel expenses, but I have said more than once that this money is for the common people to build roads.

Also, what happened to the shirt?These clothes are also official uniforms. We wear this, which shows that we regard the common people as relatives.

You see, in such a cold day, the breath is frozen to ice, but we are still here to collect money for them.How can this heart and meaning be explained clearly in a sentence or two.

Hey, we have good intentions!Good people like us are hard to find..."

Donghu laughed angrily, "It's really unreasonable. You have violated the law by doing this. If you spread it out, you will be punished. I heard that His Majesty has awarded the target county to the country's Ning'an Princess, If His Royal Highness knows about this..."

"Haha..." Before Donghu finished speaking, the man laughed.

When he smiled, everyone he led also smiled.They were waddling with laughter, as if they had heard the funniest joke.

"Princess? Ha... The princess is in Shengjing, so how can I care about the target county far away from the emperor? Even if the princess knows, everything will be taken care of by the city lord. This little brother, you better save it. There are some things that you don't need to worry about, you'd better worry less."

Donghu didn't want to be entangled anymore, and asked, "Do you know who is sitting in the carriage?"

The man snorted, "Whoever you are, I have to be reasonable when I come to the heavenly king, 23 yuan! If you walk, you have to pay." He stretched out his hand.

Donghu seemed to have lost his temper, and the two guards who were dressed as followers also stepped forward.

The man snorted, and more than [-] people surrounded him behind him.

Although there are a lot of opponents, but they walk slowly, they are all half-baked fighters who can only punch and kick. If they fight, they can't even catch Ming Qi Donghu's three moves.

They're just little guys, and a beating won't solve anything.

"Donghu." I called out.

"Yes, girl, but do you have any orders?" He replied.

"As he said, this is for the people in the city. Just give them 23 yuan. It's cold and cold, and it's easy for them to help. Give them some wine money."

"Yes..." Donghu replied, then took out the money bag from his sleeve, and handed over a piece of silver in the bag.

This group of people probably held money here all the year round, but there must have been no one who gave too much. After taking the money, his face immediately smiled into a flower, and as soon as he raised his hand, someone moved the roadblock in front of him.

He bowed and made a gesture of invitation, "I thank this girl on behalf of the common people, girl, please invite me."

I asked him in the car, "This official, dare to ask, there are still people collecting money in front of you?"

He said with a smile, "No, of course it's gone, so don't worry, girl."

I said again, "My lord, the little girl has something unclear, and I don't know whether to ask it or not."

He took my drink money, and I spoke softly, so he naturally nodded, "What does the girl want to know, if we know, we must tell."

"Then I would like to thank you, sir." I asked, "My lord, is it the intention of the city lord of Target County to collect money for the people?"

"Naturally." He nodded.

I asked again, "My lord, there are a lot of people and horses coming and going here every day, and the road next to it has been broken into bad shape. If the people in the city can repair this road, why don't they repair the road beside it? "

He chuckled and replied, "This little one doesn't know. The little one just minds his own business."

Looking at his appearance, I knew there was nothing to ask, so I didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so I thanked him and ordered the carriage to move forward.

After walking far away from the roadblock, Lu Zhu said, "Miss, we can clearly reveal our identities, why do we still need to give them money?"

I shook my head and said, "It's only half a tael of silver, and I'll give it if I give it. It's been half a month since I came here from Shengjing. I'm afraid that the news of my coming has already reached the target county.

Since the establishment of the card was agreed by the city lord.When he knew I was coming, he didn't even put on a show or pause for a moment, obviously he didn't take me seriously.

In this case, it makes no difference whether to say it or not.The situation in the city is unknown, so let's see the situation for now. "

Luzhu is not a stupid person, after a little thought, she is also very clear.

Since the horses and chariots got on the dirt road, they have been traveling smoothly. After traveling for about an hour, they arrived at the gate of the target county.

Although the official road is dilapidated, the city gate is well repaired.

Glazed tile corners and weir lamps, copper gate pillars nailed stone lions, it is called a majestic.

Maybe it's because it's far away from Shengjing. The defenders here look a little depressed, but they stand upright, and they can barely bluff people at a glance.

The ninth day of this month is a lively day, today is the third day, many inns in the city have run out of guest rooms, we have searched seven or eight in a row, and finally one of them has just withdrawn its guests.

The first floor of this inn is Tongbu, and a caravan has already lived in it. There are six rooms on the second floor. Although the rooms are not big, they look clean, so I will stay here.

Zhou Ma was exhausted, it was almost evening, and the inn couldn't prepare meals, but fortunately, one street away from the door was the busy market, so he cleaned up and went downstairs with Lu Zhu.

"Hey... Girl, I'm going out..." The proprietress called me, as if she wanted to say something.

I nodded and saluted, and asked with a smile, "Sister, is there something wrong?"

She glanced outside the door and said, "It's getting late now, you two are girls' families, if you can't go out, you'd better not go out, it's not safe outside."

"Is it not safe?" I asked, "I would like to ask this sister to explain why it is not safe?"

She sighed, and said, "Girl, seeing your good looks, I will tell you. Our place was originally quite safe, but half a month ago, a flower picker who was paid a thousand dollars came from somewhere.

This thief is vicious and vicious, and he specially targets at the girl's house who walks in the night, not only ruining people, but also hurting people.In the past half a month, seven or eight girls have been raped, and all of them lost their lives. It made everyone dare not go out at night.

Girl, it's getting dark now, you should be more careful, if you can't go out, try not to go out as much as possible. "

Luzhu seemed a little scared, "Miss, why don't we go out, if we meet something, I'm afraid it won't be good."

I wasn't scared, but rather curious, "This sister, this flower picker, has been here for more than half a month, and the government doesn't care about it?"

"Government..." The proprietress snorted, and opened her mouth to say something, when suddenly someone coughed a few times behind her, her face changed, and she quickly shut her mouth.

She didn't talk to us any more, she pretended to bow her head to make plans.

In this situation, it is naturally not easy to ask again. After thinking about it, I finally decided to go out for a walk.

It's not dark yet, so there should be nothing wrong.

Although it was getting late at night, the restaurants and restaurants in the downtown area were indeed brightly lit. I found a restaurant with a lot of people, and before I reached the door, the waiter came over to say hello, "Guests, please, our restaurant has a complete range of dishes. You eat it once and think about the second time."

There happened to be an empty table at the corner, so I walked over, and Xiao Er quickly brought over the menu, ordered a few signature dishes, and added a pot of fruit juice, Xiao Er nodded in response, and after a while, the dishes were served Done.

Four dishes, full of color, fragrance, really appetizing, I picked up a piece of crispy meat with my chopsticks, but before I put it in my mouth, I suddenly felt a gaze behind me, staring at me like a knife.
