The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 321

Regaining an identity in the Jianghu, successfully entering the black market in the Jianghu, getting the needed counterfeit rich list, and getting some samples of stolen silver, Shi Chuying felt that this trip was perfect.

She was riding on a little white horse, humming a little tune, and walked slowly on the mountain path, followed by three large mule carts full of loads.Although her goods seem to be quite a lot, the three carts are evenly distributed, and overall they are not heavy, and the big mule does not struggle to pull the cart. What.

This road leads to Qizhou. The reason why Shi Chuying chose to go in the direction of Qizhou is that there is really no place that can better conceal her family background and must go in the direction of the capital.But she remembered that when Gu Die Die's mother came to thank her, she said that the old lady's family used to be in Qizhou and was also a big family, so Shi Chuying changed her mind and came in this direction.

Coming out of the small town, they walked along the official road all the way, but the official road in Qizhou is not very good, sometimes there is no one, and now they are walking on a section of dirt road.

It was not until noon at this time, and Shi Chuying was thinking about where to hit the tip at noon, when a handlebar-like voice came from behind: "Bai Daxia!"

"Master Chen, is there something wrong?" Shi Chuying took the reins slightly, turned her face and glanced at the handlebars on the front car.

Master Chen arched his hands, and said with a troubled face: "Dare to let the heroes know, ten miles ahead is the boundary of Qizhou'Erlong Mountain'..."

Shi Chuying looked at him curiously, and Master Chen swallowed his saliva and continued: "This, Erlong Mountain is the territory of Boss Long. If you want to follow the official path, you must pay tribute first, otherwise, we have to Take a detour from the next intersection, we have to go as soon as possible, and make a detour early, and if it is later, it will be difficult to handle."

"Where is Erlong Mountain? Who is Boss Long? Since we are in the official position, why should we honor him?" Shi Chuying raised her brows and asked arrogantly.

"...It's a long story. This Erlong Mountain is the longest mountain in our land. It is said to be a mountain, but in fact it stretches for more than a hundred miles, and there are countless mountains.

Because of the obstruction of Erlong Mountain, in the early days, the official road across the mountain in Qizhou has been borrowed from other state capitals, which is not only far away, but also has many troubles.Later, about a few decades ago, in order to facilitate the transportation of grain and pay taxes, the government spent a few years to open up an official road from the Erlong Mountain Canyon. Everyone called it "Erlong Mountain Road".

In order to take a shortcut in this section of the road, the first section is completely a culvert dug out of the mountain, blocking the entrance and exit of the culvert, and the Erlongshan road is a dead end. "Master Chen seems to have seen the innocent soul with teeth and claws on the side of the mountain road, and his face is very ugly.

"So, you mean, the Dragon King has occupied the culvert, and this road can't be walked?" Shi Chuying understood what he meant.

"That's basically what it means. Anyway, I heard that this road was occupied by mountain bandits more than [-] years ago. The government also said that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They have been suppressed several times in successive years. In the end, the Dragon King is still the same Take a good position on this Erlong Mountain."

"Since that's the case, why do you say that you need to give him filial piety if you want to pass the officialdom?" Shi Chuying was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing else. It's because he has robbed this road for so many years. Let the government and the people walk together. Everyone opened up a fork in the front, bypassing Erlong Mountain far away, passing through Erlong Mountain more than before. It takes an extra three days to travel, but it is much shorter than borrowing the road. Therefore, if more people walk, the official road of Erlong Mountain will gradually be abolished.

Boss Long had no money, and the official road was seriously damaged after a long time. Later, I heard that he robbed people from afar and sent people to the official road, as long as they paid a certain amount of travel expenses.Later, I got involved with the government again, and the official food and government taxes can go, and others who have paid for the road can also go.It's just that, except for the important officials of the state capital, the money for other people's road purchases is determined by Boss Long. "

What is 'overbearing'?This is called domineering!
Shi Chuying rolled her eyes a few times, thinking about the copycat list she bought, it seems that there is no Erlong Mountain on it!

"Boss Long hasn't received much money in all these years, right? Otherwise, why is there no news about him?" Shi Chuying rubbed her chin and pondered.

Chen Bashi was really afraid that this hero would not know the importance, so he said quickly: "You can speak softly, this is not too far from the fork in the road, in case, Boss Long's people come out a little further away, maybe they will hear you."

Shi Chuying rolled her eyes very much, and spat at him, "Look at you so cowardly? Why isn't he mentioned a word on the copycat rankings when he's so powerful?"

"Ah, hero, it's not because he's not powerful, it's because, because Boss Long is a bandit, not a 'bandit' who robs the way." Chen lowered his voice very low, and confessed with his mouth closed. Big news.

Since ancient times, those who robbed houses and robbed half-way would never dare to confront the government. When encountering officers and soldiers suppressing bandits, they would quickly flee to other places. Even if they resisted, they would at most save their lives;

But the bandits are different. Although the bandits also rob halfway, they dare to challenge the government, and they can also pull out troops to fight against the officers and soldiers. It is hard to say who will win. Some bandits even have bows and arrows that are prohibited by the people.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that he attempted to rebel, which the court could not bear.

And the word "anti" is a thorn in the flesh of the imperial court, and it will have to be pulled out sooner or later. Those who want to rank in the Jianghu list are also very smart, and they have cast themselves clear early.

"...In this way, there must be a lot of treasures accumulated on Erlong Mountain!" Shi Chuying thought that this trip was really worthwhile, and she narrowed her eyes.
