In Mengmi City, a soldier was reporting the situation to the city lord: "That group of people didn't have any intention of investigating information, as if they were really businessmen, but they had a conflict with a group of bandits when they first arrived, and they should have settled it with silver." [No pop-ups. 】”

The city lord scratched his head suspiciously: "Could it be that you really do business?" But when did the business man die? Dare to risk your life to make money? ”

The soldier knew that this was the city lord's self-talk, and he didn't mean to talk at all, so he just stood quietly to the side, waiting for the city lord's orders, but after waiting for a long time, the city lord didn't tell him what to do, so he tentatively asked: "City lord, do we want to send someone to test them, even if they are doing business, they have to pluck their feathers." ”

The city lord's eyes lit up, not because he was excited to pluck the goose, this kind of caravan was only a few thousand taels of silver if it was squeezed clean, and these silvers were not silver at all in his opinion, but the temptation was indeed a good idea, as long as he tried it, he could judge who this group of people was, if the caravan was directly detained, if it was to inquire about the news, it would be released.

The soldiers under him were a little puzzled when they received the order, the city lord was really in the water, and the business person had to be detained, and the J who inquired about the news was let go, what kind of dog P idea was this. But when soldiers eat food and get other people's salaries, they have to listen to other people's words, so they immediately started to set off and ran towards Cheng Xiaolian and them.

Besides, Cheng Xiaolian and they have been walking for two days, and they are all relieved to see that they are going to get out of the range of Mengmi City, as long as they are out of this range, there will be no big problem, and when they arrive near the royal capital, there will naturally be a response sent by Ruan Qingting.

But soon their faces tensed again, and everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the people in this place who were qualified to ride horses were Burmese soldiers.

Meng Ke glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "There are few shopkeepers, they don't have many horses, and the number of people won't be too many, do you want us to break through?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian waved his hand: "No, let's go deep into the hinterland now, we won't run far at all, and once the matter reaches the royal capital, we will be completely exposed, even the Burmese python can't protect us, wait for me to deal with them." ”

Soon the group of soldiers came near, and immediately surrounded the caravan, and the leading soldier looked at them: "Which of you is in charge?" Stand out! ”

Cheng Xiaolian took two steps outside: "This military master, I am the one in charge, I don't know what is wrong with you?" ”

Yang Youcai and the others have already put their hands on their waists, once that soldier does something unfavorable to Cheng Xiaolian, they will immediately take action, and they can't care if it will cause S to move, even if Ava City doesn't go, they can't let Cheng Xiaolian be hurt.

The leading soldier squinted: "Who are you?" This is a battle to pull the goods and run around, don't you want to die to make money? ”

These soldiers are also very embarrassed, these people on the other side obviously can't take the initiative to admit that they are here to find out the news, they will only use the knife directly, and the brothers will not have to fall a few at that time, but the city lord's order is to let them go, that should be more aggrieved, so everyone is not close to the front, just preparing to attack here, and the other side immediately runs back to report to the city lord.

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "We don't want to be so desperate, it's not that Ruan Qingting, the cabinet scholar of Ava City, wants to get married in the next few days, and orders us to get a cart of silk no matter what, otherwise we will smash our signboard, my father is also very helpless, and quickly contacted someone, but there is a war here, and in the end it cost five times the price to get this cart of silk." This is not rushing to Ava City day and night, just begging not to spoil the master's big business. ”

The leading soldiers were a little embarrassed, their city lord was definitely not afraid of the cabinet scholars to deal with him, but the cabinet scholars were angry because of this matter, and the city lord always had to give people an explanation, and when the time came, it wasn't a few of them who were behind the black pot?

Thinking of this, the leading soldier snorted: "I think you are here to inquire about the news, right?" ”

Yang Youcai behind Cheng Xiaolian immediately held their nerves, and waited for the moment they tore their faces, Cheng Xiaolian smiled with a smile on his face: "This military master must have made a mistake, we really sent silk to the cabinet scholars, I don't believe you can take someone with us, and you will see the person who picked us up in just two days." ”

The leading soldier's face turned angry: "You are J fine who said that you are the J fine who inquired about the news, you are J fine, so that you can be let go, do you know?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian's face was full of bitterness, and he said in his heart that the city lord probably set a target for them to catch how many J fines they must catch, thinking of this, he reached out and took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms: "This is not a respect, please take it and buy some wine to drink." ”

It's not that Cheng Xiaolian doesn't want to give more, but the silver given to the officials and soldiers has always been this dozens of taels, this is what Yang Youcai told him, if he gives too much, it will arouse the suspicion of those people, Cheng Xiaolian has already given enough.

The leading soldier took the silver and whispered: "You admit that you are a messenger, and the brothers promise not to embarrass you, otherwise no one will be able to save you." ”

Cheng Xiaolian almost scolded, what kind of world is this Nima, how can there be fishing law enforcement in Myanmar, but people are swordsmen and I am fish R, the big deal is just a fight, so I can only follow his meaning: "Our brothers are not here to do business, they are all here to inquire about the news!" ”

Yang Youcai and Meng Ke were all stunned, and said in their hearts What is Your Highness doing, but Cheng Xiaolian didn't give them a signal, and they didn't dare to move.

The leading soldier over there nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." Then he turned his head back: "Brothers, you have all heard." ”

A group of soldiers behind him all responded: "I heard clearly, they are here to inquire about the news." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was already a little annoyed in his heart, even if you fish to enforce the law, you won't humiliate us like this, it looks like you're going to send a signal for everyone to do it.

Who knew that the soldier in the lead suddenly shouted: "According to the life of the city lord, all those who inquire about the news will be released, brothers, let's go, let's go back to drink!" ”

"Listen to the Commander!" After saying that, they pulled the reins and turned around and ran in the direction of Meng Micheng.

Meng Ke and the others were all dumbfounded, and Yang Youcai glanced at Cheng Xiaolian: "Your Highness, what the hell is going on?" ”

Cheng Xiaolian scolded hatefully: "Who knows what's going on? Neurotic bar! ”

The main city of Mengmi City knew about this matter and estimated that he could blow up his stomach, but he didn't explain the meaning to his soldiers, those soldiers naturally didn't want to do this kind of thing, their monthly military pay was pitiful, and they all counted on the filial piety of these caravans to come and go in order to live a more nourishing life, if these merchants were caught, how could any businessmen dare to take this road in the future, and everyone would drink the northwest wind when the time came?
