Chapter 33: The City Gate
The next day, the sky is still hazy, the dog hair got up, after a wash, not long, the earth dog dog cubs and their five people also arrived, last night they did not sleep in the dog hair house, after all, there is so long away from home, so the dog hair let them go home to accompany the family, of course, also specially advised, let them come early in the morning, to go into the city to sell big insects, can not delay time.

The dog-haired father and mother also got up early, made breakfast for them, and after everyone ate in three bites, they took the penny, pushed the wooden cart, and went out.
A few steps out of the door, the young men in the village came one after another, and they also wanted to follow into the city to see the excitement, and if there was any help, they could also help by the way.
"Brother Goumao, we also have to go to the county seat with you to have a look." Gou Shui said excitedly.
Gou Mao looked at Goushui Dog's legs and they led a large group of people, smiled slightly, threw the penny in his hand to Goushui, and said, "Then you follow me, don't run around." ”
After Gou Mao finished speaking, he said to the others, "You all help with the cart." ”
"Holo." Everyone excitedly agreed, and hurriedly stepped forward to push the cart.
The cart had been borrowed from Hair Root's house the previous night, and it was long enough to hold a wild boar and two large worms.
Originally, last night Gou Mao said that he was going to cut some meat off the wild boar, and everyone ate together, but he was stopped by Gou Mao's father, and even scolded him for not living, wild boars are much more expensive than domestic pigs, even if they want to eat meat, they also sell wild boars, and then buy pigs raised, so that you can eat a lot of meat, and dog hair doesn't matter, anyway, it's not bad for this day, and it's not too late to eat tomorrow.
In this way, Gou Mao took the earth dog and them, as well as more than 20 other young men from the village, and left Linkou Village together.
There are more and more people watching the excitement along the way, and they all know that they are going to sell big worms, and they are really envious of it, this is all money.
The six of them were surrounded by everyone in the middle, like the stars holding the moon, very beautiful, and I couldn't help but feel a little proud.
What Gou Mao didn't know was that at this moment, a woman saw Gou Mao in the distance, and saw that the woman's eyes lit up, her expression was extremely excited, and she murmured, "It's him." ”
A group of people were mighty, and soon arrived at the city gate, those who watched the excitement also dispersed consciously, entering the city gate but to pay a penny, it is okay to join in the fun, it is not worth spending money, ordinary people have no money at home, they all regard money as more important than life, and it is not easy to pick out money on them.
There are four guards on duty at the city gate, and there is also a team leader, this team leader is called Zhang Youcai, who is in his forties this year, looks tall and thin, has been working at the city gate for more than 20 years, and has a certain status.
When Zhang Youcai and they saw the big insect and wild boar on the wooden cart at a glance, they couldn't help but light up, yesterday they heard that there was a country stick that beat the big worm, or two, and they thought it was a joke at first, but now it seems to be true.
Zhang Youcai and a few of them hurriedly surrounded them, carefully examining the two big insects, as well as the wild boar, and from time to time they made a sound of admiration.
"It's really a big insect, not to mention that one is four hundred pounds."
"That's it, head, look at this fur, it's really comfortable to touch, it's more comfortable than touching a woman, no wonder rich people like to wear it, it's really a good thing!"
"Of course, you think those rich people are stupid."
,,,,,,
Gou Mao looked at them, feeling the greed in their tone, the greed in their eyes, and Gou Mao had a sense of foreboding.
After half a ring, I saw Zhang Youcai stand up straight, then coughed, and said majestically: "You killed this big worm?" ”
Gou Mao bowed respectfully, and then said, "If you return to the master, we beat it." ”
"What are you going to take to the county seat?" Zhang Youcai couldn't help but aggravate his tone.
Dog Mao was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied modestly and politely: "If you go back to the poor master, we want to go into the city to find a buyer, and sell some silver, and ask this poor master to make it convenient, and when the big worm is sold, we must bring two pots of good wine to honor the poor master." ”
Zhang Youcai couldn't help but glance at the dog hair, this mud leg couldn't fool him in a few words, it seemed that if he didn't come up with something real, he would have to go back empty-handed today.
So Zhang Youcai's eyes showed a fierce light, stared at the dog hair viciously, and then said majestically: "The big insect is a special item, according to my Ming law, it should be handed over to our government for inspection, and only after it is confirmed that it is correct, it can be sold, you leave the big insect here, go home and wait for the news!" Let's go back! ”
Zhang Youcai bit the words of the Ming Law very hard, and the guards who followed him also stared at them viciously, rubbing their hands from time to time, as if they were going to beat someone.
As soon as these words came out, there was a deathly silence around, this is the sorrow of the little person, even if you have a heavy treasure at home, if you don't have enough strength, you can't protect him at all. And if you are strong, even if you scatter gold and silver on the street, no one will dare to pick it up.
I've seen a shameless one, I've never seen such a shameless one, isn't this a clear robbery? The people who entered and exited the city gate next to him couldn't help but cast contemptuous glances at Zhang Youcai.
This sentence also made many young men in Linkou Village angry, and they all said that the government was shameless, but they didn't expect that now they would lose their faces so cleanly for the sake of two big insects, and they stepped on their own feet after throwing them on the ground.
The earth dogs and cubs are also full of righteous indignation, and the eldest brother took the big worm that we risked our lives to shoot down, do you have to give it up like this today? There are no doors.
However, all the lads in Linkou Village did not move, and the puppies did not move either, because there was one person who had not moved, and that was Gou Mao.
Gou Mao looked at Zhang Youcai coldly, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this is the grassroots officials closest to the people in the Ming Dynasty, whether it is beating, scolding, or robbing, all in the name of the Ming court, how can such a court win the hearts of the people?
If it is an ordinary Ming people, they are basically frightened to retreat by Zhang Youcai's words, you must know that Zhang Youcai particularly emphasizes the laws of the Ming Dynasty in his words, if you don't obey it, it will be a rebellion.
However, how could the dog hair from the afterlife be intimidated by his words? Rebel? Isn't that a no-no-no?
The dog hair was cold, and slowly, he took the penny from the dog sailor.
Seeing this, the cubs and the others couldn't help but hold the penny in their hands tightly.
The cold, silent action of the six of them made the atmosphere of the scene very strange and terrifying, and some clever passers-by next to them were already secretly hiding back.
