It feels strange. I clearly didn't see it wrong, so why does it look no different from an ordinary vine now?
He picked up the dagger hidden at his waist and started chopping at the vines. He cut the vines in half but there was still no change.
He couldn't help scratching his head, and threw the vine aside in frustration. He leaned against the tree, his mind full of the scene he saw at that time.
The next day, it was just getting light.
Everyone in the village got up, washed, and started cooking.
The rest of the journey was much safer. Because there was a tiger in the team, the village chief simply gave up the official road and took the mountain road instead.
Although I am a little tired, I am safe at last.
They were finally about to reach the capital, but the people at the gate of Fuqing County stopped all the refugees.
The village chief negotiated in the front and came back dejectedly after he understood the situation clearly.
Everyone looked at the village chief and asked questions one by one.
"What happened to the village chief? Why aren't you allowed to enter the city?"
The village chief looked at the anxious villagers and couldn't help but sigh.
"The county magistrate said that if you want to enter the city, you have to pay 200 coins per person, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the city."
When Old Man Yun heard what the village chief said, his eyes widened.
"What? Two hundred coins per person? Isn't this clearly making things difficult for us? They don't want us refugees to get in?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Who says it's not true? But there are still many wealthy families who have paid their money."
The refugees who had gathered together were making a fuss. The county magistrate walked out of the city gate and looked at the refugees who had all gathered together and couldn't help but sneer.
"Humph! You lowly people want to set foot in the capital. Do you really think that anyone can go to the capital?"
The lawyer next to him whispered in the county magistrate's ear: "It would be inappropriate if the higher-ups knew about this.
Moreover, the people above said that the emperor allowed the refugees to enter the capital.
And it was said that every county town must be released!
If the refugees want to stay, they have to ask for vacant houses. If there are no houses, they can build one themselves.
I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for us to keep collecting money like this…”
Before the lawyer could finish his words, the county magistrate glared at him fiercely.
"The emperor is far away, and I have the final say here. If you want to go to the capital, you must pay money.
Otherwise, where would we get the silver? And 200 coins are not a lot. It's just that they have no ability. ”
Xianyu felt that 200 wen was nothing to those wealthy families.
When the lawyer heard what the county magistrate said, he shook his head in his heart.
Thinking that those who gave money to the capital would sue his own county magistrate, wouldn't his own county magistrate have to roll down from his position?
But now the county magistrate looked arrogant, and the lawyer did not dare to say what was in his heart.
I can only secretly admire the county magistrate's courage.
Yun Nian'an was not far away, and with his special abilities, he could hear clearly what the county magistrate said.
I couldn't help but sigh, it's really unfortunate to have such a county.
If you often stay by the river, how can you not get your feet wet? He is really bold.
Yun Nian'an looked at Old Man Yun and said, "Grandpa..."
Old Man Yun looked at his little granddaughter and said, "My dear, we have money to go to the city, but it will be difficult for the villagers in our village."
Old Lady Yun also sighed, "Who said it wasn't true? Originally, I thought we could go to the capital together as a village, even if we were assigned to a remote county.
