Chapter 263 Chopsticks Floating
"I heard it," Ye Lang replied, his expression and tone remained unchanged.
"Then why do we still want to go into the city?" the young official snorted coldly.
"Is our entry into the city related to what you said?" Ye Lang asked curiously.
Yeah, is it related?
Everyone is thinking about this question. To be honest, it seems that it has nothing to do with anything. Who is this person and does he have the right to say such things?
Who did he think he was, the city lord? Or the emperor?
"Of course it's related, I'm from here..." The young official was stuck.
"What is it here? The head chef?" Ye Lang asked. The person in charge of distributing porridge was probably the head chef or something like that.
"Who is the head chef? I, I am the grain officer here..." The small official finally revealed his official title, but this also made him feel ashamed. Looking at Ye Lang, he seemed a little angry and embarrassed.
"So it's the grain officer. My apologies," Ye Lang said politely. However, this courtesy only lasted for a moment and was soon broken.
"But I don't understand, what does a grain officer have to do with us entering the city? Do you have the qualifications?" Ye Lang asked calmly, and this question did not mean to look down on others, it was just a question.
However, in the ears of others, it sounded different. They thought that Ye Lang was looking down on them and wanted to embarrass them.
At this time, everyone nearby couldn't help but laugh secretly, including the people from the small town. They all seemed to dislike this grain officer.
"I'm not qualified. Why am I not qualified? Do you know who my brother-in-law is?" In this situation, cities generally bring out their own backgrounds, although this approach is very low-class.
It is true, the dog relies on the power of the man.
The people in the small town cursed inwardly with disdain. They could tolerate this small grain official, not because they were afraid of having no food, but because this grain official did not have the right to deduct food from them. The reason they tolerated it was because of the small grain official's backer, that is, his brother-in-law.
"I don't know," Ye Lang shook his head. "But, does this matter? Can your brother-in-law be represented by you?"
"Of course it's possible," the small grain officer said uncertainly, making it clear to everyone that he couldn't do it.
At this time, Ye Lang said: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then tell me who your brother-in-law is."
Hey, you don't believe what he said, do you?
At the scene, some people wiped Ye Lang's sweat. Can you even believe this?
"My brother-in-law is the leader of the knights here." The small grain officer said arrogantly.
"Oh, isn't the leader of the Knights the city lord?" Ye Lang asked following the tone.
"no"
"Then why are you so arrogant?" Ye Lang asked with a smile.
Everyone was stunned...
"Of course I...ah...what did you just say?" Seeing Ye Lang's smile was so dull, the young grain officer didn't react for a moment and thought Ye Lang was praising him.
At this time, after the people nearby recovered, they said in unison: "Then you are so arrogant!"
At this time, the young grain officer's face had turned crimson, like a dynamite ready to explode at any moment, and his level of anger and humiliation seemed to have reached a critical point.
"You are not the city lord, so what right do you have to restrict our entry? Even if you are the city lord, you still have to open the city gate for me. What's more, you don't know what's good for you. Just get away from me," Ye Lang said softly.
The small grain official jumped up and shouted angrily: "You are a lowly person, and you dare to tell me to get out? I tell you, don't even think about entering this gate this year. You are not qualified."
"Untouchable? Just for that statement of yours, I can send you to jail, but I won't bother with a small grain official like you. What qualifications do you need to enter this small town?" Ye Lang looked at the small grain official with some disdain and said.
According to Ye Lang's words, there was actually one thing that the small grain official should pay attention to, that is, the small grain official was disrespectful to him, and there might actually be a lawsuit.
There is a common law on this continent, that is, if nobles are insulted, they need to be rewarded or punished, because they are nobles and nobles should be noble; and if nobles insult others, they also need corresponding rewards or punishments, because they are nobles and nobles should maintain their nobility. Of course, this rule has been trampled upon by some powerful nobles, and few people will pay attention to it, but if a commoner insults a noble, he will still suffer a lot, and if a low-ranking noble insults a high-ranking noble, it goes without saying that he will die more miserably than a commoner.
Simply because, if it were a commoner, the nobles might just teach him a lesson. After all, they don't want to argue with the commoners, as that would be a loss of their status. And the conflict between the nobles is originally a battlefield, and they will not let it go easily.
This small grain officer should be a minor noble, but his status is definitely not higher than Ye Lang's. It seems that Ye Lang has some other title, which he himself cannot figure out, anyway, he has always had it.
Although the Ye family left the Xiangkong Empire, their noble status was still recognized by all countries. And in order to show goodwill to the Ye family, not to mention offending Ye Lang, even if Ye Lang, the Thirteenth Young Master, disliked something, it could be erased.
At this time, the small grain officer and others did not care about this. They only cared about Ye Lang's tone. He said that this small town was a small town. If he was not so arrogant, it would imply that he was a person of extraordinary status.
At this moment, the small grain officer certainly believed the former more and thought that Ye Lang was the kind of person who spoke with a big tone.
"Hmph, you're so arrogant. I wonder if you have the qualifications," snorted the small grain officer. He didn't seem to dwell on Ye Lang's identity, as if he was afraid of touching upon the side of himself that he couldn't afford to offend.
"Then what qualifications do you need?" Ye Lang asked calmly.
"Well, at least you have to be able to afford the entrance fee, this is the most basic thing. Ten copper coins for those with imperial status, and one silver coin for those without." The small grain officer said with difficulty. He now felt that Ye Lang's identity seemed very unusual, and that kind of temperament was actually not possessed by these refugees.
"I thought it was a big deal. It's just the entrance fee. Do you all have imperial status?" Ye Lang asked the refugees around him.
At this moment, if it were in the past, Ye Lang would have thrown a bag of gold coins over, but now he didn't want to, and he would not give a single cent more this time.
It's not that he suddenly realized that he didn't want to squander money anymore, it's because he now understands that his money needs to be used where it should be used, and squandering money should be put aside for now, well, I should say put it aside for now.
When he learned that there were hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing, Ye Lang knew he could go on a spree, perhaps even squandering all his wealth...
