The middle-aged man and the young man in long gown were angry and anxious when they saw that they decided the ownership of the silver in a few words.
The young man in the long gown rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Su, aren't you afraid that all the money will be swallowed up by the shopkeeper? Or that he will pocket it?"
"Yes! Such a large sum of money would tempt anyone. How can you guarantee that the shopkeeper 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 composure. He said calmly: "If you are worried, you can just watch in the store until I give away all the money."
Su Yin said, "I believe in Boss Xu's character."
She was willing to take a gamble.
"You, you guys...you guys are really..." The young man in the long gown left angrily.
Others left unwillingly.
After those people left, the rest followed suit.
"Boss Xu, it's best to spend all the money today and spread the news of the porridge distribution today."
The shop owner understood immediately and nodded hurriedly, "I understand. I'll ask someone to go out and buy some."
"The city has just been looted, so I'm afraid there isn't that much food." The waiter said.
Master Wan San, who had been silent the whole time, spoke up quietly, "Don't worry, those big merchants have many places to hide their grains, and it's impossible for those people to take them all away. At worst, give the money to those grain merchants and order the grain first."
Su Yin agreed with this statement. It was not because she understood wealthy businessmen, but because she believed in Master Wan San.
The owner of the foot shop suddenly bowed deeply to Su Yin and said, "I would like to thank Miss Su for her kindness."
Su Yin hurriedly helped the man up.
It was just a small effort on her part, so she doesn't deserve this title.
Rather than letting the government take those things, it would be better to return them to the people of Yongqing County. It would be good if we can save a few people.
After packing up, the people of Xinghua Village left on horseback.
Master Wan San left with them.
Su Baozhu asked curiously, "Yinyin, why do you have to let the boss spend the money today?"
"Money is a powerful thing, and one should be prepared for the worst."
Greed is the original sin. No one can guarantee whether someone will take risks and commit murder for money in the middle of the night.
She didn't want the foot shop owner to be killed because of this incident.
Now that the money is gone, naturally no one cares about it anymore.
Su Baozhu understood and learned something at the same time.
Coming out of East Street and walking to the main street, the shops on both sides were badly smashed, there was scarlet blood on the bluestone floor, and crying sounds could be heard from the shops from time to time. Corpses were placed at the doorsteps, covered with white cloth, and the entire Yongqing County was filled with sorrow.
Su Yin's eyes darkened. When she thought of the scene of collusion between officials and bandits last night, she felt more and more disgusted with this dynasty and disliked it from the bottom of her heart.
In a corrupt dynasty, the people at the bottom of society suffer the most.
As soon as we reached the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city looked at the people entering and leaving the city with a covetous look. There were few people coming into the city, but many people leaving.
The soldiers at the city gate shouted loudly, "Line up and go out one by one."
Everyone who leaves the city will be watched, especially those who travel with carriages and luggage.
In front of Xinghua Village was a carriage. It did not look luxurious on the outside, but it was carrying a lot of servants and belongings, which showed that it was also a wealthy family.
After being cleansed by the bandits, the family was still able to keep all these possessions, which shows that they are quite capable.
Su Baozhu tugged at Su Yin's sleeve, "Yin Yin, look over there."
Following her gaze, there were corpses lying at the foot of the city not far away, and these corpses were just left there with no one dealing with them.
She saw several familiar bodies at a glance. Those people were none other than the travelers who left the foot shop.
Now they are lying quietly at the foot of the city, becoming innocent souls killed by the bandits.
Madam Xu couldn't help but sighed, "If these people had listened to Yin Yin, they wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Everyone has their own destiny. Maybe this is their destiny."
Su's mother also felt sorry for them, but everyone has his own destiny.
"Sir, there really are no Tibetans on our bus."
The sound from the front drew everyone's attention back.
"If you say there's no one, then there's no one. Let me check and I'll know if there's anyone there."
Two officers and soldiers stepped forward and began to search. The things on the carriage were clearly visible, and it was also obvious whether there were people hiding there. The other party's gesture made it clear that they were not really looking for anyone, but wanted benefits.
The people in the car in front immediately asked their maid to take out some silver and hand it to the officers and soldiers. The other party paid a little extra and was then allowed to leave.
As soon as they left, it was the turn of the people from Xinghua Village.
The soldiers took a look at the clothes of the people in Xinghua Village, and then looked at the pots and pans on the car, and they were very disgusted. Do you think he will let you go out of pity? No, not only will he not let you go, but he will squeeze you even harder.
Having seen the situation ahead, Yang Dashan handed the copper coins he had prepared to the officers and soldiers when they came forward.
The officer took a look at the copper coin in his hand, sneered with disdain, took the copper coin but did not let him go.
"Sir, can we go now?"
"Why are you leaving? We haven't checked carefully yet. The county magistrate said that there are lone bandits hiding in the city, and we have been ordered to investigate. If you take the bandits out, can you bear the punishment?"
"But our car is full of pots, pans, and some beddings, there's no place to hide anyone." Yang Rong couldn't help but say.
The soldier snorted coldly and glanced at him coldly.
Yang Dashan quickly scolded his son, "Shut up."
Then, he raised his ingratiating smile and said to the official, "The child is ignorant, please don't be offended. You are all considering the safety of the people, so it is right to check more carefully."
As he spoke, Yang Dashan stuffed in another piece of silver.
The gatekeeper took a look and smiled, "You are sensible and understand our difficulties."
"Let's go."
The other party took a casual look and waved to the person at the door to let him pass.
Su Yin's mule cart was about to leave with the others, but the soldiers guarding the city stopped them. Master Wan San, who was following the cart, was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Yang Dachuan quickly said: "We are together."
Yang Dashan noticed it and hurried over to explain, "Sir, we are a family."
The officer glanced at him and said in a low voice, "You can go, but their car has not been checked."
Su Yin handed the silver to her second uncle.
These people clearly want money. If you don't give them money, don't even think about leaving the city.
If something can be solved by spending some money, then it is not a problem.
As long as the Three Gods of Wealth are sent away, they will be insignificant amounts of money.
Yang Dachuan hurriedly handed a dime to the official.
The man took a look, put it into his pocket with satisfaction, and pretended to check it. When he walked in front of Mr. Wan San, he turned his gaze and looked up and down at the fat man in front of him.
"Look up."
