Alice snorted angrily: "Don't quibble, I see this matter in my eyes." Obviously, it's you, relying on your own power, trying to extort money from outsiders, and still pretending to be a victim here?" she walked to the pile of scattered goods, scratched and pulled with her foot, and said: "What kind of ragged clothes is this, dare to say that it is worn by the queen and the princess, have you seen what clothes the princess wears?"

The caravan man smiled contemptuously: "Of course we haven't seen it, but we have seen it with the noble ladies and noblemen of the Alexia family. These clothes are all popular among the emperor's daughters and noblewomen this year, and you should go to the street now to take a look, but whoever has a bit of status, who doesn't wear these styles? We don't know this, don't you know better?"

"You're ......!"

Mark Xiuting pulled Alice and said: "Forget it, little girl, it was our fault that the goods were damaged, and we should lose money, we came to the imperial capital from other places, and we don't want to cause trouble here." He said to the people of the caravan: "You said that these things are worth 400,000 gold coins, and I can't take out so much cash, so let's take a step back and compensate you 150,000, and this matter will be settled." Of course, if you have to compensate us 400,000 gold coins, then we have to find a reasonable place to evaluate the reasoning. As soon as he said a word, he retreated and advanced, soft and hard, even if he gave the other party the stairs, and he didn't want to let his people get into trouble.

The businessman who took the lead was not as difficult to talk as he was just now, and he couldn't figure out Alice's identity, so he didn't want to cause trouble again, so he just accepted it if he wanted to see it. He said: "Okay, for the sake of your interest, I won't bother with you, the compensation for the goods of 150,000 yuan, and our people were injured by you, so we have to pay some money." ”

"Yes. Xiu Ting took out a package from the carriage and took out a stack of gold scrolls to count the money. Alice didn't do it.

"No, you can't pay them like that. Alice stopped Xiu Ting and said, "They are obviously blackmailing you, why do you have to tolerate them?" Isn't it just a bunch of foxes and fake tigers? I wonder if they have no national law!"

"Hey little girl!" said the merchant angrily, "What does it matter to me and them? They are willing to pay for themselves, what are you making a fuss about?" ”

Xiu Ting also persuaded: "Yes, little girl, Xiexie is you, but we still have things to do." If you don't want to get into trouble, forget about it. ”

Alice stamped her foot and shouted, "No!!, you just can't pay him." They are bullies, and they extort you once. will blackmail others a second time. They just look at the attitude of you outsiders who want to settle things and calm people, so they are lawless! Today, Alice saw here, I can pay as much as I want, and I don't agree to lose a penny more!"

The people on both sides of the merchant and Xiu Ting were dumbfounded, wondering what was going on.

Immediately in the car, Kulizarid looked at Haha's smile and said to himself: "In this era. It's really rare to see a girl like her, both sides want to settle down, and she is still here. Well...... It's rare to have an honest heart. ”

Alice is indeed angry more than anyone else, she is not only angry with these businessmen who bully outsiders, but also angry at the weakness of outsiders. What's even more angry is that the guards at the city gate here have not moved until now, and they have not come to mediate the dispute.

In fact, it's no wonder that these city gate guards watched the excitement and didn't come to help outsiders break the siege, but they also had entanglements of interests in it. It is important to know that the goods entering and leaving the city must be sharpened, and according to the different grades and values of goods, the amount of taxes collected is not necessarily. And those businessmen, especially those with connections and powers, will always find ways to evade taxes. For example, fox skins are worth more than rat skins, so the tax on fox skins is higher than that on rat skins, and the merchants bribed the tax collectors at the city gates to change the fox skins on the list of goods to mouse skins, and the fine snow fox skins to ordinary fox skins, which can reduce the tax by a large amount.

Although the city gate guards can't get the lion's share of this, they can share a little bit, and the extra money they earn in a month is sometimes several times higher than their salary. Now that they have encountered such a thing, they are naturally secretly on the side of the merchants, and the caravans are overwhelming, so they will be troubled by the merchants, and if the merchants suffer losses, they will come out to mediate. And this kind of truth, Mark Schuttin and Kulizarid are well known, but Alice does not know.

So Alice angrily shouted in the crowd, "Guards, guards!"

However, at this moment Hurrington was negotiating with the city guards who were watching from the sidelines, and when he saw Alice rushing into the crowd, he knew that she was going to cause trouble, so he quickly found the city guards and whispered something to them. At this time, the city guards did not know whether it was true or not, but if it was true, they could not afford to take it.

Hurington pulled them again and said, "Recently, the security of the imperial capital has not been good, and the identity of the princess should not be exposed, so as not to cause anything else." ”

The guards understood this, and if their identities were revealed, they could not afford to be assassinated by the Assassins.

"Guards, bastard city guards!" Alice shouted again and again, and finally saw a city guard coming, and stepped forward and said angrily: "This has happened, or at the city gate, do you don't care?

"Well, this ......," said the captain of the city guard, "Male...... It's not part of our job to do business, but you have a point, and we should be in charge of such a dispute at the city gates, so didn't I bring someone here?"

"Humph!"

The captain of the city guard stepped forward with an axe and halberd, and commanded the people of the caravan: "You bastards, have you taken us seriously when you make trouble at the city gate? The security of the imperial capital has been corrupted by you! You don't want to see what kind of place this is? This is the imperial capital, not the countryside, don't think that you can bully outsiders if you are a local, is there still a royal law in your eyes? Is there a harmonious society? If you are not a nobleman, you dare to bully others." Tell you, don't say you're just a merchant from a noble family, even if someone from Alexaya's family is here, don't try to make trouble with us, you know?"

The merchant head was stunned, thinking, "Doesn't this guy usually help me?" But people like them are the best at reading people's faces, and after glancing at Alice, he immediately reacted: "It seems that this little girl is really a person with status, I think it's better to bear with it." Thinking of this, he stepped forward and said, "Yes, yes, Captain, why are we making trouble with you." Isn't this the cargo being knocked over? We can't explain it to the owner. ”

In fact, these merchants, who are said to be merchants, are actually no better than those rich businessmen, they are just servants raised by aristocratic officials, and they have no power at all to sell some popular and sought-after goods in the imperial capital.

The captain put one hand on his waist, shook his legs and said: "This is your business and I have nothing to do, but you want to blackmail others here with me, and tell you that I can't rub sand in my eyes, and this city guard armor that maintains the security of the imperial capital is not worn in vain." ”

"Yes, yes, we didn't blackmail, we just ...... It's just that businessmen like to make random bids when they open their mouths. The head of the caravan said to Mark Xiuting: "We will also collect 30,000 or 40,000 gold coins for this caravan, and I will not lie to you, but pay 40,000 yuan." ”

Mark Schuting counted and took out four gold scrolls for him.

The merchant leader counted the money, said a few kind words to the city guards, and with a wave of his hand he left the convoy, not even what had been knocked over on the ground.

Shuk put the rest of the money away, turned to Alice and said, "Xiexie, little girl, it's really thanks to your help that we have been saved from even greater losses." ”

"Hey, you're welcome, I don't like people like them the most. Alice was quite proud of what she had done, and said, "But you, don't be angry about it." In fact, the imperial capital is very haode, most people are very polite, will not bully outsiders, you will know if you live in the imperial capital for a few days, the imperial capital people are very friendly and welcoming. By the way, is this your first time in the imperial capital?"

"Hehe, yes, it's our first time in the imperial capital. Xiu Ting said with a smile: "The society is complicated, there are all kinds of people, even if there are a few people who are not haode in the place, we will not be prejudiced against the imperial capital because of such a trivial matter." In foreign countries, many people praise the imperial capital, saying that the imperial capital is a great city. ”

"Well, you are from abroad. Alice nodded repeatedly, and of course she was happy to be praised by foreigners. She suddenly clapped her hands and said, "In this way, you are new to the imperial capital and you are not familiar with the place, why don't you be your guide and introduce you to this city?"

"Hey, Alice. "As soon as Herrington walked up to Alice, he saw her warm 'hospitality', and wanted to dissuade her, but seeing that she was rarely happy at this moment, he gave up the idea of dissuasion.

"Ahh

"It's okay, it's okay. Alice waved happily and said, "I'm very idle, I don't have anything to do, you don't have to be polite." ”

"This ...... Well, then bothering you. Xiu Ting couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to her.

......

(Well, I'll admit that I've been getting a lot of water in the last two days, so I'll try not to do it in the future.) Anyway, I don't know weishenme recently, I'm always sleepy, I can't keep my spirits, and I feel full of strength when I think of code words. It is said that the spring is sleepy and the autumn is lacking, is it true that the corpse is different from the human being? I was busy with some things in the past two days, but now that I have returned home, I don't love the code word, which is really hateful. If you don't get money, how can you get rations without money, how can you live without rations...... Well, corpses don't eat food, corpses absorb the qi of Taiyin, and whenever the yin qi is at its peak on the night of Yuehua, it is the time when the little corpse comes out to spread the zombie virus. hahahahaha. (To be continued.) )
