The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 411: Evildoers must be punished by evildoers

During this period, many people came to the Mu family, including rich and powerful people.

He had a strong backer, and even though he was just a gatekeeper, he could receive a lot of tributes every day.

If you want to enter the city, you must have the seal in his hand.

Without this little gadget, even the king of heaven wouldn’t be able to help.

What's more, not all of this filial tribute went into his pocket, the bulk of it had to be given to his superiors.

Luo Hong has never been to school and is usually extremely arrogant.

He has done many evil things and is a typical thug. He has made a name for himself because of his ruthless methods. Once, when he was drunk, he boasted that he was a "local emperor" and had the final say in his territory.

This shows how arrogant he is.

After all, they have no culture and do not know the law.

Fortunately, in these places where the emperor is far away, most of the people who knew about this matter have died in the war. If they were caught and used as a pretext for this now, they would have died a thousand times over.

The evil man did not receive retribution, but because of his cruelty, he was noticed by the higher-ups and was appointed to guard the city gate.

Many people who know him would curse in their hearts: The people above are blind.

His wallet became fatter, but it was hard for those who wanted to enter the city.

Especially for the small merchants who had just been driven to the back, if they wanted to enter the city, it would depend on their "filial piety".

Mushi City is a large city with rich land resources.

As long as there is no war, this place will soon prosper.

If there is a war, the land is scarce and the people are poor, and the wealthy gentry will enclose land and buy slaves in such an environment.

Just like the year when Nanyang was hit by a flood, the orphanage could buy a woman for only one or two taels of silver, and the government would not stop it at that time. After all, it was a time of natural disaster, and this was the only way to survive.

Now, the people of Mo Sheng who stayed behind are in a state of anxiety. The assets in their hands are useless, and everyone wants to sell them and hold the silver in their hands, so that they can use the money to avoid disaster if something bad happens.

Therefore, many people are planning to buy more land and shops while they have the means.

Everyone knows this, so the opportunity to enter the city becomes particularly important.

As for whether Mo Sheng would call again...

What a joke. Half of the country's territory has been lost, and yet they still want to compete with the rich and powerful Chu. That's simply a pipe dream.

Not to mention, everyone who comes here has a gambling mentality, and it is a gamble with a very high chance of winning.

There is no shortage of visionary people in the world, some are timid and some are bold.

Take a chance and your thatched hut will turn into a mansion.

Duan He rode on his horse, staring into Luo Hong's eyes, not giving in at all.

If even the minor officials at the city gate were afraid of him, how could he survive in Mu's City?

So, sorry, this gatekeeper was the one who made the first move when he entered the city.

Before leaving, the Fourth Master had warned him that the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion at the border would only be bad, not good.

After hearing this, Duan He was even less afraid.

As expected, seeing his attitude, Luo Hong's mood immediately became gloomy.

No one has ever challenged him like this!

The Marquis' Mansion is indeed intimidating, but this is not the capital, it is so far away, and they have the final say in everything.

He is just a dog of a marquis's mansion. What's the difference between him and him? He is not the master of the mansion.

But he is not stupid, and he cannot let anyone show his hand in public.

If you want to prevent someone from entering the city, there are many secret operations that require a lot of explanation.

This manager looks young, but he's probably a useless guy with a brain full of crap.

Luo Hong was thinking in his mind, wondering how to block their pass.

If the "filial piety" they gave was large, he might have given it to them reluctantly.

However, if you want to enter the city, you have to curb their arrogance first.

He couldn't stand the fact that someone was crazier than him, especially in front of him.

As the saying goes, evildoers deserve evil treatment.

Duan He was not a good person either. He had already found out everything about his temper.

He didn't take a watchdog like Luo Hong, who wasn't even a local boss, seriously at all.

When Dean Liao came with a long team, she saw that the team did not move at all. She was confused and sent someone to ask.

As soon as the servants who went to investigate arrived, they saw Manager Duan slashing a large knife and telling everyone not to get through.

The people behind were angry but dared not say anything, and just waited under the scorching sun.

"Sir, I've told you..."

"If I can't get in today, no one else can."

Duan He even had someone bring a chair and sit at the door, with someone holding an umbrella for him.

The clerk on the side looked at the increasingly crowded entrance and felt a little anxious. He couldn't help but blame Master Luo in his heart for provoking him even though he knew he was not a good person.

"Master Duan, you see, the entrance is blocked. Why don't you come with me to the side? It's not a big deal if it's blocked like this."

Duan He crossed his legs and looked at the clerk who was so anxious that his head was sweating, and he kindly asked him to sit down and rest.

"Just block it, they have no complaints, what are you afraid of?"

As the clerk looked over, the people queuing behind him turned their eyes away to avoid looking at him.

It is said that this steward comes from the Marquis' Mansion, the Duan Marquis' Mansion in the capital, and ordinary businessmen cannot afford to offend him.

I heard that there was a young general on the battlefield in the Marquis' Mansion, so now no one dared to object.

If they just waited like this, they would still get compensation from the Marquis' Mansion, and the servants in the mansion would give them money for drinks.

After reading it, the clerk muttered a few words, sat back and said nothing.

He had no say in the matter. It was Chief Luo who said that the number of people in Marquis Duan's mansion was too large and had to be left for final review. Moreover, they were armed and needed approval from higher authorities before entering the city.

What he said was sheer bullshit. Duan He brought only about thirty people with him, and what they examined when entering the city gate were the travel permits.

Carrying weapons is even more ridiculous. Nowadays, every caravan going out is equipped with weapons. They have come from so many cities, and they are still being treated specially here.

Luo Hong felt annoyed when he saw that no one dared to step forward.

Even though he was used to being a scoundrel, when he saw Duan He's actions, he couldn't help but call him a hooligan in his heart.

What good will it do them to make such a big fuss? Now that things have come to this point, they are in a dilemma.

Luo Hong felt a little regretful about what he had said. Now he thought about it and realized that he should not have said anything to offend anyone. He was just following the routine.

Even if something goes wrong, there is no fault to be found.

After reviewing it several times, he calmed down and just sat there waiting. He was not in a hurry anyway.

The two groups were in a stalemate.
