Chapter 154 Five Hundred
"Three hundred taels of silver, why don't you just rob them!" A merchant who had just arrived cursed.
After he finished speaking, everyone started to jeer and became a ball of anger.
However, with a loud bang, the soldiers defending the city closed the city gate.
Now, let alone three hundred taels of silver, even three thousand taels of silver cannot enter Jiangcheng.
"Brother Ming'an, what should we do?" Seeing this, Zhao Lian'er threw herself into Chen Ming'an's arms and cried pitifully.
"Wait." Zhu Huaizhen played with the black jade pendant inlaid with beads and unicorn pattern, seeming to be lost in thought.
"Zhenzhen, how long do we have to wait?" Zhao Lian'er asked softly.
"Wait till the end of time." Bai Chenfei sneered.
To put it bluntly, Bai Chenfei doesn't want to wait.
But if we don’t wait, where can we go?
The refugees wandering aimlessly around here indicated they had abandoned their original homes and were unable to rebuild. Such a massive and arduous project required the city lord to lead it, but they no longer trusted him.
"Mother, please be patient. We won't have to wait long. Jiangcheng wants to make this money, and the soldiers defending the city also want to make this money." Zhu Huaishu had to coax her.
"When has Jiangcheng ever been short of money?" Bai Chenfei said angrily.
After hearing this, Zhu Huaizhen simply snuggled in Lou Li's arms and closed his eyes to rest.
Concubine Bai Chen now appears to be righteous and determined to protect Jiangcheng to the end. If she truly loves Jiangcheng, why would she agree to Emperor Xuan of Yan and help destroy Southern Chu?
Alas, Zhu Huai really didn’t want to pay any attention to Bai Chenfei.
"Those who are waiting, get off the car and wait. We are leaving." Bai Chenfei said coldly.
Zhu Huaizhen scratched his ears and really felt that Bai Chenfei was noisy.
However, she still wanted to keep Bai Chenfei and deal with her after the demise of Nanchu.
The charm of Concubine Bai Chen to Emperor Xuan of Yan was only that of Nan Chu.
After the fall of Southern Chu, Concubine Bai Chen became a mere toy.
But Bai Chenfei didn't realize this.
Zhu Huaizhen was a little curious about what kind of family the Nanchu Bai family was.
"Princess Rongyang, please take good care of Concubine Bai Chen. If you continue to be so arrogant, I don't mind throwing her to the refugees." Lou Li smiled coldly, his eyes as sinister as a poisonous snake.
"How dare you! I was personally appointed as the Concubine by His Majesty!" Bai Chenfei said angrily.
"And then? When you die, there will be a new Consort Chen." Lou Li had already pulled out the soft sword from the jade belt tied around his waist and was playing with it carefully, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was still cold.
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Chenfei was hit by a hand and fainted in Zhu Huaishu's arms.
Zhu Huaishu never doubted Lou Li's murderous intention.
At this time, the city gate slowly opened, and a suppressed cheer broke out among the crowd.
"The higher-ups said that each person will be paid five hundred taels of silver. If you don't want to enter Jiangcheng now, come back another day." The soldiers defending the city held their light Mo knives, their noses turned up, and they became more and more arrogant.
"Ali, how much do you think they can get from this?" Zhu Huaizhen asked quietly, frowning.
Five hundred taels of silver per person is shockingly expensive, it's simply robbery.
However, those merchants who were eager to enter Jiangcheng gritted their teeth, stamped their feet, and finally took out five hundred taels of silver notes.
To be honest, Zhu Huai really couldn't bear to do it.
Money doesn't come from the wind, it's not that easy to come by.
Besides, she wasn't good at running the Changshengku, so she simply let it run. She even took money from the Changshengku from time to time, which really made her feel ashamed of Xiao Ge.
Or you can just spend the night outside Jiangcheng, for one, two, three days. I don’t think the prices in Jiangcheng will always go up.
"Lian'er, what's wrong with you!" Chen Ming'an exclaimed and took over Zhao Lian'er who was about to faint.
Zhao Lian'er's face was pale, her eyes were tightly closed, and she shook her head slightly. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. It didn't look like she was faking it.
However, Zhu Huaizhen couldn't help but secretly complain that he fainted at the right time.
