When Xu Wan'er showed Xia Yun's badge, Jiang Wenzhong quickly stopped his actions, but the faces of several guards at the city gate still showed a bit of arrogance.
"This is the capital, not Zhejiang. Officials from other places must pay 100 taels of silver to enter the capital!"
The leading city gate guard focused his attention on Xia Yun.
Obviously, he had recognized that Xia Yun was the highest-ranking official in the group.
Entering Beijing Silver?
The moment she heard this statement, Xu Wan'er frowned immediately. She had never heard of this statement before.
However, when Xu Wan'er looked around, she found that these guards did not collect the silver for entering the capital from ordinary people.
At this time, Xia Yun gave Xu Wan'er a look.
Xu Wan'er understood what he meant and stopped wasting time with the guard. She took out a hundred-liang silver note from her bosom and handed it to the guard.
However, when Xia Yun and others were finally able to enter the city, the guards showed no intention of giving way.
"There is still a shortfall of eight hundred taels."
The captain of the guard team, still showing his arrogant attitude, looked at Xia Yun coldly and said.
"What eight hundred taels?"
Xu Wan'er frowned, not understanding what the other party was saying.
"There are nine of you in the group. We gave you 100 taels, but we still need 800 taels."
The captain of the guard explained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wan'er's face suddenly turned gloomy.
It turns out that the one hundred taels these guys mentioned really meant one hundred taels per person!
Jiang Wenzhong and Chong Heihu both looked unhappy. Just to enter the city, they would have to pay nine hundred taels of silver.
Even though they were used to big scenes in Dai County, they had never seen such a practice of killing the goose that lays the eggs.
"This is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, the best district. If you want to enter the city, this is the price. It's up to you to enter or not. If you can't afford it, please go home."
Suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a fifth-rank official uniform turned out from the side of the city gate, and his fat body walked step by step towards Xia Yun and his group.
Upon seeing this, the other guards at the city gate also gathered around, looking as if they would not let anyone pass unless the money was paid.
Seeing this, Xia Yun, who had been silent before, suddenly laughed.
But there was an obvious chill in that smile.
He came to the capital to report on his work, not to suffer the bullying of these villains.
Xia Yun just glanced at Jiang Wenzhong and Chong Heihu out of the corner of his eye.
The two of them understood immediately.
But then they saw two people, one on the left and one on the right, rushing out at the same time with lightning speed and breaking into the guards at the city gate.
The next moment, wailing sounds were heard at the city gate!
The wailing lasted for more than ten breaths.
Until the last wailing sounded, all the guards at the city gate were knocked down by Jiang Wenzhong and Chong Heihu together!
Many people fainted on the spot. A few people, after witnessing the power of Jiang Wenzhong and the other two, curled up on the ground pretending to be dead, not daring to move at all.
At this moment, opposite Xia Yun and his group, there was only the fat official left, who was still standing on the ground.
The fat official's legs began to tremble unconsciously, and his face was twisted with flesh, for he was afraid that Jiang Wenzhong and the other two would be the next to attack him.
But the fat official did not directly beg for mercy.
"I am a subordinate of Lord Mu Chun, the governor of the Nine Gates. If you impress me, Lord Mu Chun will definitely not let you off!"
The obese official said this with bluffing.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenzhong and Chong Heihu simultaneously turned their gaze to Xia Yun, with a questioning look in their eyes.
Xia Yun smiled slightly and nodded immediately.
The next moment, the wailing sounds from the city gate rang out again.
"You'll be so rampant, you fat guy! I'll let you be so arrogant!"
"Who's going to spare who now? Tell me! If you don't, I'll knock your two front teeth out!"
Jiang Wenzhong beat the two men up, swearing at them all the while.
These scenes, when seen by the people around, made them completely dumbfounded.
They had never seen anyone dare to attack the guards of the capital. If this crime was brought to court, the minimum punishment would be exile!
Who are these guys? Where do they get such courage?
A group of strangers on the passers-by cast puzzled looks at Xia Yun and his group.
"enough."
After Jiang Wen and Jiang Zhong beat the fat official for dozens of breaths, Xia Yun uttered two faint words, which stopped the two from continuing to beat him.
The obese official's sight was restored to the light of day.
But at this time, his entire head had been beaten into a pig's head, and its size was more than twice that of usual.
"Do you want the silver now?"
Xia Yun had a blank expression on his face and glanced at the fat official with an extremely indifferent look.
"No need...no need...I want it!"
The obese official was beaten so hard that he was confused and his words were unclear, but his body was quite honest.
While speaking, he moved his body towards the side of the city gate.
Seeing this, Xia Yun stopped paying attention to it. He first tidied up his appearance, and then took Xu Wan'er and the group and finally walked through the city gate.
However, at the same time, at the city gate, the fat official looked at the background of Xia Yun and others, his eyes filled with a cold look.
"Hurry, tell this news..."
Due to the commotion at the city gate, when Xia Yun and his party entered the capital, in less than half a day, the news spread throughout the capital like a hurricane.
Especially when some ordinary people who witnessed the entire incident at the city gate spread the news that Xia Yun was the governor of Zhejiang Province, public opinion in the capital city ushered in a round of turmoil.
The new second-rank governor of Zhejiang, Xia Yun, has arrived in Beijing!
Xia Yun and his companions rested in an inn on the street in the capital for about half a day.
Xia Yun did not go to the palace to meet the emperor immediately.
According to the regulations of the Daliang Dynasty, officials from other places who wanted to report on their work in the capital had to register with the Ministry of Personnel first.
Then the officials of the Ministry of Personnel will report it one level at a time.
At the morning court session the next day, the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree would summon the foreign minister to the palace to meet the emperor.
The whole process was not troublesome, but it was quite time-consuming, so Xia Yun simply stayed in the inn first.
"Sir, the news of your arrival in the capital has spread throughout the capital."
In the evening, Jiang Wenzhong, who had been out to gather information, returned to Xia Yun and told Xia Yun about the current situation in the capital.
"Also, the news that you beat someone at the city gate has spread throughout the capital."
When he said the second sentence, Jiang Wenzhong showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
After all, it was he and Chong Heihu who personally beat people up.
Although Dai County has focused on military development in recent years, it has never neglected martial arts and fighting.
Xia Yun even wrote a set of mixed martial arts teaching materials.
This is also the reason why they were able to defeat all the guards at the city gate in a short time.
"Have you figured out the identity of the Nine Gates Admiral?"
Xia Yun didn't care about the rumors on the street. What he wanted to know most at this moment was what the Nine-Gates Admiral mentioned by the fat official was.
