At the city gate.
Lu Yuan, like other pedestrians, lined up and went out.
Perhaps because of the bandits in the county, the inspection of the city gate was much stricter than normal.
Eight tax collectors stood at the gate, checking the people entering and leaving.
However, this kind of inspection is mainly aimed at people entering the city, and people who come out of the city only have a rough look twice, and then let people go out.
It’s just that Lu Yuan can clearly feel that this strictness is only on the surface.
Otherwise, why do those martial artists who carry swords and enter and exit with swords, these officials do not stop and investigate, and directly let the passage pass.
And those honest farmer foot merchants who are easy to bully at first glance are stopped by those who do not pull, strictly investigate, and extort bribes.
“Therefore, these greedy and evil officials are all deceitful and afraid of evil. This kind of person counts one by one, and there is absolutely no wrongful killing.
Lu Yuan thought so in his heart, it was already his turn to go out of the city ahead, and when he was about to go out, he heard a shout next to him.
“Stop.”
The two officials guarding the door remembered him and knew that this person had entered the city to sell tiger and leopard skins, and this time he definitely made a lot of money, and after looking at each other, he came over and wanted to make a windfall.
However, before these two greedy demons got closer, Lu Yuan’s eyes glared fiercely at the two.
He has traveled for more than a year, running between the mountains all day long, and the beasts that died under the sword and arrow, with thousands of them, have long practiced a fierce aura.
In addition, he has been practicing martial arts for more than a year, and he has also cultivated internal strength, and today, his temperament has long been different.
So now, although he is dressed as a hunter, his muscles are knotted, and his fierce aura exudes, which is not easy to mess with at a glance.
Especially those eyes, after killing thousands of lives, faintly seem to give birth to the kind of murderous aura often described in novels.
Those two officials were looked at with such fierce eyes, as if their hot bodies were poured with a basin of ice water, and most of the greed that was originally born suddenly disappeared, replaced by a chill.
The raised footsteps instantly froze.
Just as the prey at the bottom touched the predator at the top, a huge sense of fear was born in their hearts at this moment.
“This is a strong character who dares to kill.” Years of experience as a city gatekeeper instantly made the two officials realize this.
And out of the instinct of greed for life and fear of death, after the two noticed that something was wrong, the courage that was originally raised because of greed and the other party’s Orion costume dissipated in an instant.
“There is a stone on the ground, and it will get in the way.”
A small official was in a hurry, saw a small pebble on the ground at the city gate, quickly picked it up and threw it aside, and then retreated to the side with understanding, did not dare to block it in the slightest, gave way out of the city, licked his face and smiled: “Ye, you go slowly.”
“Waste!”
Lu Yuan walked with his head held high, and when he passed by the two officials, he scolded sarcastically.
Fang Cai really planned that if these two people wanted to come and exploit their money, then they would start killing people.
Now the main forces of the official mansion and the local gangs in the city have gone to surround and suppress the black wind thief at this time, and there are not many remaining forces left in the city.
There are only these greedy officials at the city gate, all of them are ordinary people who do not know martial arts, and with their own strength, they can smash their heads one by one with just a pair of flesh palms.
‘Unfortunately, these two guys provoked. Lu Yuan was slightly disappointed.
To be honest, having been exploited by the government and gangs many times since the crossing, it is false to say that there is no resentment and hatred in the heart.
Now those gang members, he has killed a lot. However, these court eagle dogs have not killed a single one.
It’s a shame.
The thought of wanting to kill flowed in his heart, and the two officials seemed to feel it, trembling, and subconsciously took two steps back, close to the city wall, shivering.
When several officials around saw this scene, they also seemed to pretend not to see it, and avoided it far away.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan sneered, and did not bother to pay attention to these little ghosts, and walked towards the mountain in the distance.
He had only walked about ten steps, and before he left the area at the gate of the city, there was a clicking sound in the distance, and then the smoke and dust approached, but he saw that it was a small official in soap clothes rushing towards him so quickly.
“Xianguling Dajie! Xianguling great victory!
“Wang Chaotou teamed up with the Plum Blossom Liu Gang Lord, broke through the black wind bandits, beheaded more than a hundred, and won a great victory in suppressing the bandits!”
The little officer, as he hurried on his horse, opened his mouth and shouted, announcing the good news to the passers-by around him.
Some pedestrians at the gate of the city, seeing the messenger coming, quickly avoided giving way to the road.
After a period of hecticism, when the reaction came, they all showed joy.
The government and the Plum Blossom Gang succeeded in suppressing the bandits!
This news is a great joy for all people in Meixian.
The cheers of discussion and cheering had already begun to sound at this time.
“Did the bandits succeed?”
After Lu Yuan heard the news, for some reason, he thought of the secrets of the rivers and lakes revealed by the strong man in black in the tavern.
Although the guy also looks unreliable, the news channels are suspicious, and it is difficult to say whether it is true or false.
But the same.
As a toiling person who was exploited and oppressed by the government and gangs, Lu Yuan also knew that these two goods were virtuous.
Those scum scum, the words that come out of their mouths are also not believable. At the moment, who knows the specific truth?
Maybe it’s just good news and bad news, and directly deceive the people!
“But even if it’s a lie, it has nothing to do with me.”
Lu Yuan shook his head, and the person quickly left in the direction of the mountain.
Just said that a great victory has been achieved, whether it is true or not, then the matter of thinking about the black wind thief has almost been solved. The
people of the Plum Blossom Gang and the official government should return to the city soon, and this place cannot stay for long.
……
Out of the city, it took an hour, and Lu Yuan turned into the mountains.
After entering the mountain, he found the place where he had buried his things and took out an iron bow and a large bag of silver.
The amount of silver is very heavy, enough to weigh dozens of pounds. During this trip to the South China Sea, he sold a total of four goods, sold more than ten rare skins and three altars of tiger whip wine, and made a profit of thousands of taels of silver.
The deposit, which was already about to dry up, recovered in an instant, and even swelled several times.
The family bottom is rich all of a sudden.
“A thousand taels of silver, at the current price, is enough for me to buy hundreds of acres of paddy fields in the countryside, build a big mansion, and become a small landowner.” In other words, my current net worth can also make people call the master. Lu Yuan counted his harvest, one thousand one hundred and twenty-three taels of silver, and his face suddenly blossomed with joy.
Of course.
Although this money is enough for him to buy a large piece of land and be comfortable as a landlord.
But as an aspiring immortal, he didn’t intend to do that. The
landlord or something, it sounds very good, but he has not mastered enough strength, no matter how rich he is, he is also rootless.
After all, you stock grain and I stock guns, and your home is my granary.
Although the above sentence is ugly, it is undeniable and reasonable.
Like the black wind thief in Meixian this time, when he was just in the teahouse in the county town, he heard that thirteen large landlords outside the city were directly wiped out by this bandit, and their families were looted. The
bloody example was in front of him, which made Lu Yuan extremely soberly realize that this was a cruel society where the law of the jungle preyed on the strong.
You have force, you can live well.
Without force, you can only be a sheep to be slaughtered.
Just like Fang Cai, when he went out of the city, if Lu Yuan was just an ordinary hunter. Will those greedy Xu officials just let him out of the city?
He has long been accused of colluding with the black wind and stealing, and he took the hundreds of taels of silver earned this time for himself.
“So force is the guarantee of everything.” After all, this is a martial arts feudal society!
Lu Yuan sighed for a lifetime, put the silver in the back basket and put it away, and his steps were like flying, like a phantom shadow, quickly shuttling through the dense forest.
It’s still two hours away, and it’s going to get dark.
Before that, you have to find a safe place to stay in the mountains.
The mountains at night are not safe.
Even if you have practiced martial arts, there is no guarantee that everything is foolproof, and everything must be cautious.
……
More than ten days later.
Lu Yuan, who had been out for more than a month, finally returned to his home.
Then shortly after returning to Yangmei Town, he heard a news.
“Brother Sun took the exam?”
Listening to the nagging of his neighbor Aunt Niu, Lu Yuan’s face was surprised.
His friend who wasted firewood got the hang of it, and this time he actually won the Xiucai exam!
Like many people in the town hearing it for the first time, he was slightly shocked and surprised.
No wonder so.
The main thing is Sun Siwen’s previous conviction, which is too impressive.
Took the exam twelve times, a total of twelve years, did not win, at this time hit?
This kind of news gives people an impact.
It’s like in modern society, there is a high school student who has been admitted to college for twelve years in a row, and then all of them fail. Then one day, he told you how surprised he was to get into college.
But after the surprise, it was calm.
“Brother Sun was able to pass the Xiucai exam, and he finally got a taste of what he wanted. After more than ten years of suffering, it is a great joy to finally have results. I had to come to the door to celebrate.
Thinking like this, Lu Yuan began to think in his heart that he wanted to send something to the other party.
He instinctively wanted to send some bacon he made, but thinking that these were just the food they usually had at dinner together, sending this was not solemn enough.
Therefore, it was immediately vetoed.
“Well, Brother Sun is a reader, and now he has passed the Xiucai exam, and for his identity, he has to send something that readers can use.” For example, pen, ink, paper, ink, rare ancient books, etc…”
Lu Yuan thought like this in his heart, and gradually had a clear idea.
For his only friend, he still values it very much in his heart.
Especially now that the other party has won the Xiucai exam, it seems that he has reversed his fortune and turned over and risen.
This is all the more important.
After all, this is a feudal dynasty after all.
The rulers here, except for those martial arts warriors who come and go.
That is, those famous readers.
And Sun Siwen won the Xiucai meritorious name, and in modern times, that is, he passed the provincial civil service examination.
You can go directly to Yamen to find a job as a knife and pen clerk, or to work as a staff member for those prefectural prefects, or you can become a teacher in the prefectural school.
Although they are all low-level jobs, they are also half a foot in the ruling class.
Not to mention, if the other party can continue to work hard and take the exam, the level will be instantly promoted to the deputy department level, and he can become an official.
In the face of such a potentially promising reserve official, Lu Yuan felt that it was still necessary to make some investments in advance.
