Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Chapter 54 Entering Liangzhou City

The villagers walked on the official road, and everyone had a smile on their face: We have made it out, we have finally made it out!

But no one has any idea about the future and everyone is very confused.

The heavy rain came down "clattering", accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the "boom" of thunder followed.

"Fellow villagers, we must hurry to the Liangzhou city gate to see if we can get into the city and find a place to take shelter and rest."

Gao Zhijun finally felt relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally led them out.

Although the danger has been lifted, a place to rest has not yet been found.

The villagers were in heavy rain and thunder in the sky, which was very dangerous.

If you are struck by lightning, you will be killed.

The villagers all listened to Gao Zhijun's words very much. If she told them to hurry up, she must have her reasons.

So the villagers just had fun for a while and then everyone started on their way again.

Braving the heavy rain, we arrived at the Liangzhou city gate before it was closed.

There was a large open space in front of the Liangzhou city gate, on which two soup kitchens were built. Several large sheds were also built in other places to accommodate the refugees.

After Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian looked at each other, they both saw in each other's eyes that they wanted to enter the provincial capital.

The three of them arrived at the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate were about to close the gate when Gao Zhijun called them, "Sir, we are fleeing from famine in Xiangyang County. We have just arrived here and have not found a place to rest. Could you please let us leave the city and find an inn to rest?"

Look, it's raining so hard now. If we don't find a place to take shelter, the elderly and children will get sick. Sir, please be kind."

Gao Zhijun said humbly.

If it were her alone, she would never be so servile.

But there are many elderly people and children among the villagers. They have been traveling all day and will catch a cold if they are caught in the rain.

The two soldiers said with some embarrassment: "It's not that we don't want to let you in. To enter the city, we need the approval of our prefect. You see, it's raining heavily now, and we can't go to inform the prefect."

"This is some tea money for you. Please be flexible. Thank you very much!"

Gao Zhijun took out two taels of silver from her sleeve and gave one tael to each person.

"It's not about the money. We let you in without permission. If anything goes wrong, we will be held responsible."

The two officers still looked embarrassed, weighing the choice between one or two ounces of silver and taking responsibility, wavering and finding it difficult to make a decision.

"How about this, sir? Tell us where there are inns in the city with large bunk beds. We'll stay there. If we cause trouble, you can arrest us."

In order to ensure that the villagers have shelter from the rain tonight, Gao Zhijun gave a suggestion to the two officers guarding the city gate.

"Okay, I'll take you there. You must stay there and not run around."

The officers and soldiers finally compromised. The girl was right. If they let them stay together, they would be able to catch them quickly if they were really causing trouble.

One tael of silver is enough to cover their expenses for a month.

The prefect was an honest official. He was very strict and did not allow them to accept bribes. This made it so that they could not make any money and were very honest. Their family could hardly make ends meet.

"Thank you, sir!"

Gao Zhijun, Huo Jinqian and the head of the village thanked them excitedly.

Gao Zhijun stayed here to help with the registration, while Huo Jinqian and the village head went back to bring the villagers over.

After the head of the village went back, he told everyone that they could go into the city, but they had to pay for the rent of the inn they were staying in. If they didn't want to rent, they could stay in the big shed at the back and squeeze in with the other refugees.

A few families who really couldn't afford to make ends meet stayed in the greenhouse because there was free porridge there.

The Tong and Fang families also stayed in the greenhouse, which made Huo Jinqian and the village head feel relieved. They were all afraid that these troublemakers would cause trouble if they went in.

However, Huo Jinqian took Tiedan's family to the city. This was what Gao Zhijun said before they came back. They were an orphan and a widow, and they didn't know how they would be bullied if they stayed in the greenhouse.

Huo Jinqian and the head of the village brought the remaining villagers to the city gate. The officer who had just said he would take them to the inn asked them to take out their travel permits and helped them register. When they knew that they were all from the same village (except the girl), they finally felt relieved.

Then he took them to the Tongfu Inn, which was the inn with the most fair charges in the state capital.

The shopkeeper's surname is Tong. He is an honest man and never cheats anyone, so many people like to stay here.

"Miss Gao, the innkeeper of this inn is named Zhong. He is an honest man and charges a fair price. You can stay here."

The officers and soldiers pointed at Tongfu Inn and said to Gao Zhijun.

He brought them here because Gao Zhijun was generous and he was willing to do her a favor.

"Thank you, sir. This is another cup of tea for you. Don't tell that sir."

Gao Zhijun took out another ounce of silver and gave it to the soldier, telling him not to tell the other officer.

"I know. Thank you Miss Gao! If there is anything you need from me, just let me know."

When the officers and soldiers saw Gao Zhijun give him another ounce of silver, they were excited and their liking for her increased a bit.

Since she knows how to behave, I will protect them before they leave.

"Sir, I really have something to trouble you with."

Gao Zhijun took advantage of the situation and said that she had something to trouble him with.

"Girl, whatever it is, I will definitely help if I can."

The soldiers said without hesitation that one should be grateful to the person who helped them.

"It's like this. I want to ask, how many pharmacies are there in the state capital, what are the personalities of their owners, and whether their prices are fair."

Gao Zhijun was worried about the medicinal herbs. In this unfamiliar place, she could only rely on the recommendations of the officers and soldiers so that she would not go through so much trouble.
