It's too hard to flee famine, don't be afraid! Evil mother-in-law has a system

Chapter 60 Chaos in Tongchuan County

Li Wei felt that Gu Fugui really thought highly of her. In this case, what could she do?

Salad!

"Who was doing it just now?"

With a roar, everyone at the scene lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.

Li Wei secretly took a look at the person shouting. He was short, muscular, and had no hair. His arms were exposed even in this winter, and he looked like a ruthless person.

Li Wei was lucky that the person who wanted to do it didn't seem to be too vicious, at least he didn't want to destroy them as soon as he came.

"Brother Bao, it's him." The gatekeeper who was beaten just now pointed at Gu Xiaozhuang.

Gu Xiaozhuang no longer had the same aura as before, his face turned pale with fright, and he hid in the crowd without even daring to raise his head.

"Drag me out."

Brother Bao said a word, and the two men who came up were going to drag Gu Xiaozhuang.

After saying that, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one moved.

“Where can I rent a carriage in the county?”

There is one room for men and one for women. There is still one room left for Li Wei to live alone. After walking for so long, she just wants to be alone for a while. This is the privilege of the parents. Even if someone accepts it, they can only hold it in.

, who lets the money stay with him.

"If you don't enter the city, you don't dare to walk through this gate."

"Then why don't you leave?"

I thought that the old man and the gangster would still be given some face, but these people didn't care at all and slapped her in the face. Old Mrs. Gu stumbled to the ground, two front teeth fell out, and her mouth was full of blood.

Li Wei: "Then you won't be afraid of these ruffians when the Yuelai Inn is open?"

The shopkeeper smiled.

"Who is Brother Leopard?"

"Afraid, why not, but you have to make a living. Anyway, you only have one life, and if you don't do business, you will die, so you might as well take a gamble."

"Brother, when we entered the city, the people we saw collecting cash at the city gate were not government officials. Do you know who they are?"

"Let's go to town."

When Mrs. Gu saw these people threatening to touch her son, she quickly stepped forward to plead for mercy.

The further they walked, the colder Li Wei's heart became.

Li Wei thought that the water level in Tuojiang River had indeed grown very fast in recent days. She thought that she would have to take a look at the water situation in the upper reaches of Tuojiang River later. If Tongchuan was really in danger of being flooded, she would have to leave early.

"Aren't you going to the city?"

When Li Wei tried to find a horse dealer, the doors were closed.

Everyone was frightened by Brother Bao's cruelty.

"If you don't choose, then you have to pay money."

The shopkeeper was very enthusiastic when he saw them.

"Although I am a Taoist, I am also reasonable and will never buy or sell by force."

The man named Brother Bao stepped forward and kicked Gu Xiaozhuang in the calf, causing Gu Xiaozhuang to kneel on the ground.

Saying that, Brother Bao kicked Gu Xiaozhuang on the back again.

There were only a few people on the street, and the whole county was lifeless, looking like a dead city.

So cruel, so cruel to the old man.

At this time, a man stood up obediently.

"Shopkeeper, something big happened in Tongchuan recently. Why are all the shops outside here closed?" Li Wei asked curiously.

"Good man, good man, spare your life."

Who dares not to enter the city?

At this time, two waiters appeared in the lobby. They were young and looked very smart.

"Oh, that should be Brother Bao's person."

Li Wei didn't expect this to be the case.

"You only need one tael of silver to enter the city, and you are a good boy. If you want to enter, pay the money. If you don't want to enter, just leave."

Brother Bao stepped forward and stood in front of him.

"We are all very tired after asking so many questions about whether we can live here or not."

After suffering such a fright, everyone no longer had any expectations for the way home. They just wanted to find a place to have a good rest and plan their future affairs.

Finally, when they were almost desperate, they found an inn that was still open.

"There's a lot of chaos outside now, and many gangsters are out to collect protection fees. Ordinary businesses don't dare to fight against these gangsters, so they simply close their doors."

"A lot of people in the county have been traveling recently?"

When Gu Xiaozhuang saw that he had finally found an inn and that Li Wei was still asking questions, he couldn't help but lose his temper. At this time, he was not as greedy as he was when he faced Brother Bao just now.

The other party nodded lightly and was about to walk out of the city, but Brother Bao turned around and kicked the other party, causing the other party to lie on the ground and fainted.

Seeing Li Wei coming down, one of them immediately came up to greet her.

"Who else doesn't want to go to the city?"

Seeing Brother Bao like this, everyone lost their temper.

But the county town was very deserted, and all the shops on both sides of the street were closed.

Yuelai Inn is right on the edge of the Tuojiang River, but it is a bit far away from the river. However, because the Tuojiang River has swollen recently, I heard the sound of waves in the room and felt very close to the river.

"Yes, there are rumors recently that the Tuojiang River is going to rise and our county will be flooded. Therefore, the wealthy people have evacuated to a safe place with their families."

After resting for a while, Li Wei decided to go downstairs to inquire about the news. She felt too bad about Tongchuan County, and she felt uneasy staying there.

"Did you see it? Making trouble is the result."

Qinghaiyan and Gu Xiaozhuang's daughters all surrounded him.

"Sir, would you like to stay in the hotel?"

After saying that, Brother Bao looked at everyone again and asked.

Returning to the room, she lay on the soft bed. This was the first time Li Wei slept on such a comfortable bed after coming out of home.

The waiter smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"Brother Bao is the gangster in Tongchuan County. He founded the Tuojiang Society, and now all the gangsters in our county are under his control."

"Sir, how can I help you?"

"You must be outsiders. Nothing major has happened in Tongchuan recently. It's just that the county master has left."

Upon hearing this, the other party hurriedly shook his head and said: "The carriage shops in the county have been doing so well recently that they have all gone away."

"Those who pay the money stand on the left, and those who do not pay stand on the right."

Everyone obediently handed over their money. Li Wei alone handed over fourteen taels of silver, and even Zhou Chunxiu had one in his pocket. After paying the money, the other party didn't make it difficult anymore and let everyone in.

"Don't touch the boss (father)"

"Wherever we poor people can go, we will be flooded."

As he said that, he stood to the right.

"Don't the people in the yamen care about it?"

Qinghaiyan grabbed Gu Xiaozhuang's hand and immediately let go. Gu Xiaozhuang was lifted to the middle of the road. His whole body felt weak and he couldn't even stand firmly.

Li Wei didn't like this kind of quarrel at all, but because Mrs. Gu's mouth was full of blood, she didn't care about it. She asked the shopkeeper to open three upper rooms.

"Hero, I, I won't go into the city."

Gu Xiaozhuang was lying on the ground. The ground was already muddy. When he lay down, his face was covered with mud. He looked very embarrassed.

"Government servants? The county magistrate has left, and no one has paid them. Many of the yamen servants have joined the Tuojiang Association. Now they rely on Brother Bao to make a living."

When we walked in, there was no one in the hall except the shopkeeper.

Li Wei also remembered that those people called the bald man in the middle Brother Bao. It seemed that this man was quite famous in this area.

People around him lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

After hearing this, the waiter looked at Li Wei as if he were watching a joke.

"According to this statement, Tongchuan County is now under the control of Brother Bao?"

The waiter nodded.

"Now when there is a problem in Tongchuan County, Brother Bao is more useful than going to the county government office. If Brother Bao can't solve it, then there is no way to solve it."

Li Wei now understood that Tongchuan County was in complete chaos.
