All the money was emptied on the way to exile, and there was too much money to spend

"Thanks from the Xie family army."

Summer cicada added.

Hong Bin's eyes widened as he stared at the person in front of him in disbelief.

Xia Chan smiled, picked up the bamboo basket, and turned to leave.

Hong Bin knelt on the spot, tightly grasping the silver in his hand, and kowtowed towards the place where Xia Chan left.

The "bang, bang, bang" sound was so loud.

The image of Xie Jiajun is very noble among the people and in the hearts of ordinary people.

Now that Xia Chan has come out, it is natural that he has to try to improve Xie Jiajun's impression of him.

In this way, when Xie Lin starts a rebellion in the future, they will have solid public support, and it will be much easier for them to act.

After all, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Xia Chan knows this truth.

She found a deserted place and put the sweet potatoes and the basket into the space. She returned to the team at the city gate empty-handed.

The people in front had already entered the city, and when she went over, it was her and Mrs. Xie's turn.

The soldier who had kicked the man away just now saw Xia Chan coming back, looked her up and down, and then said in a sarcastic tone: "Aren't you going to buy sweet potatoes? Where are the sweet potatoes?"

Xia Chan smiled ingratiatingly.

He bent down and said humbly: "Sir, you are making fun of me. I can't even get enough food to eat now, who would buy that thing?"

"Ah……"

The officers and soldiers were too lazy to talk to Xia Chan.

The main reason was that she didn’t bring any sweet potatoes.

If they saw her bringing it, the officers and soldiers would definitely treat Xia Chan as a wealthy person and slaughter her.

Since she couldn't even afford a sweet potato, she was just a poor peasant with little money. The officers and soldiers only needed to collect enough money to enter the city.

However, because they couldn't stand the summer cicadas, the officers and soldiers still collected a little more money.

"Ten coins per person."

"Isn't it five cents?" Xia Chan raised his head, looking shocked.

There was a mixture of shock and reluctance.

The soldier put his hand on the knife and said, "I said ten cents, so it's ten cents. Do you want to come in? If not, get out of here."

Mrs. Xie, who was following behind Xia Chan, raised her head.

Xia Chan grabbed her hand in time.

With a flattering smile on his face, he placed twenty copper coins in the hand of the horse-faced soldier.

"Sir, please click."

The horse-faced soldier took a look and snorted in satisfaction. Then he waved his hand and asked the people behind him to let Xia Chan and the others in.

Xia Chan nodded and bowed to express his gratitude.

After Xie Wancai pulled his sister-in-law behind him into the county town.

After the two entered the city, they saw quite a few people walking on the streets of the county.

Although the city entrance fee for outsiders has reduced the number of people coming to the county town from villages and towns, the county town still has people.

As long as they didn't leave, it would be much more lively than in the town or the village.

Xia Chan and Mrs. Xie walked around the county town and found the magnificent county magistrate's mansion.

As they reached the door, they saw several soldiers dragging a half-dead man out and throwing him casually on the ground.

There were a lot of people standing around talking about what was happening, but no one dared to go forward.

Xia Chan sat at the noodle stall right opposite the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, eating noodles and inquiring for information.

The noodle stall owner does business here, so he must know who goes to the county magistrate's office every day and for what reasons.

Xia Chan learned from the noodle shop owner that the person who was thrown out ran a restaurant in the county town.

A few days ago, a group of people went to his restaurant to eat and didn't pay. The boss went up to argue with them, but not only did he not get his money back, his restaurant was also smashed.

The restaurant owner was so angry that he went to the county magistrate's house to file a complaint.

Who would have thought that instead of the county magistrate helping him to get justice, he was beaten up severely.

"This world is in chaos."

The boss shook his head and sighed, his face full of helplessness and bitterness.

Xia Chan understood and nodded and continued eating noodles.

Mrs. Xie clenched her hands into fists under the table.

"How can an official be like this?"

When someone's store was smashed, the police not only did not deal with it, but also beat the victim? What's the logic behind this?

Mrs. Xie was very angry.

Xia Chan whispered, "This is the way the world is now."

Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that Mrs. Xie and the others were still a little naive.

They don’t know that troubled times are a time of cannibalism.

Mrs. Xie was indeed feeling very uncomfortable.

If the Xie family were still alive, she would have overturned the county magistrate's office if she encountered such an unfair thing.

But now, she is a prisoner who dares not even show her true face, and she has no way to deal with injustice.

They could only watch helplessly as innocent people were tortured like this.

Xia Chan saw through her thoughts and smiled, "Don't be impatient."

The best is yet to come!

Mrs. Xie nodded.

"it is good."

She believes in her brother and sister-in-law.

After eating the noodles, they found an inn nearby to stay.

It's very chaotic outside now and not many people are staying in the inn.

When Xia Chan and the others entered, the innkeeper was taking a nap.

Even the waiter was dozing off.

Xia Chan walked straight to the shopkeeper and knocked on the counter with his hand.

"Shopkeeper, stay at the hotel."

The shopkeeper, who was drooling in his dream, was startled when he heard the sound.

He opened his eyes and raised his head, seeing Xia Chan's ugly face, he opened his mouth to curse.

Xia Chan placed a five-liang ingot of gold on the counter.

The shopkeeper's expression changed in a second.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Sir, do you want one room or several rooms?"

"How can a couple live in two rooms?"

There was displeasure in Xia Chan's tone.

But the shopkeeper didn't feel anything at all.

All he cares about is money.

Xia Chan has money, Xia Chan is the boss.

Not to mention that the old man just had a hint of displeasure in his tone, even if the old man called him grandson, he would obediently agree.

"Hey, good."

The shopkeeper nodded and replied.

He turned around and urged the dozing waiter to get up quickly and take the guest to the number one room.

The waiter wiped his saliva and stood up with a flattering smile on his face.

"Please follow me, both of you."

He took Xia Chan and the others upstairs and came to the No. 1 room facing the street. He opened the door and let them in. He stood at the door and said, "My two guests, if you have anything to say, just call me."

"I was born and raised in this county, and no one knows this county better than me."

Xia Chan let out an "oh".

"Really?"

"Isn't that true?" The waiter was also smart. Seeing how generous Xia Chan was, he wanted to make some money from Xia Chan.

"Sir, to be honest with you, I know which man in this county has cheated on his wife, which wife has cheated on her husband, and which sow has given birth to a few piglets."

"Oh, then tell me, where is the favorite place for the rich people in the county?"

Xia Chan took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, about one or two taels.

Playing with it in my hands.

The meaning was very clear. If the waiter satisfied her, the change would be his.

When the waiter saw the silver, his eyes lit up.

He must have spilled the beans about everything he knew.

One tael of silver is enough for several months' salary.

Who wouldn’t be happy to earn money just by talking?

Thanks to the waiter's "help", Xia Chan got to know the county town better.

"Okay, I'll find you if I need anything."

She threw the change to the waiter and turned around to close the door.

The waiter's attentive voice could be heard from outside the door: "Hey, just tell me what you want, I'll answer all your questions."

The smile was almost spilling out of his voice.

Xia Chan also curled his lips.

pretty good.

The waitress earned some change, and she also got to know the situation in the county.

As soon as night falls, she will go to eat at a rich restaurant.

Well, let’s start from the county magistrate’s mansion across the street!
