The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

"Second Master..."

Chen Jinwen shook his finger and interrupted Xiao Guizi.

"How could this prince be like those dandy young men and care about this momentary quarrel of arrogance?"

Hearing this, Xiao Guizi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile,

"Second Master is very broad-minded. Even His Majesty has praised him as a wise king many times!"

"Hahaha."

Chen Jingwen laughed.

At this moment, Jia Lian's advance team had passed Chen Jingwen's carriage.

Following them came a series of flatbed carriages loaded with salt tax silver. Each carriage was surrounded by black curtains, and you could vaguely see large boxes inside.

When Chen Jingwen saw this line of carriages, his expression suddenly became serious.

Staring at the convoy slowly passing by, he couldn't help but cross his arms across his chest, his fingers hooking his chin.

"It seems this is the salt tax in Yangzhou this year that those servants mentioned earlier!"

"It's just Yangzhou's salt tax, so why do we have to leave the city with the Rongguo family?"

Listening to Chen Jingwen's mumbling, Xiao Guizi, who was observing his expression, bowed and said,

"Second Master, how about I ask someone to go..."

Chen Jingwen smiled and shook his head.

"No need!"

Xiao Guizi nodded in agreement when she heard this.

But at this moment, Chen Jingwen got out of the carriage.

Xiao Guizi quickly helped Chen Jingwen get off the carriage and whispered to him,

"Second Master, this place is in a state of panic. If any of us offend you, I will be unable to bear the consequences. Why don't you return to the carriage first?"

Chen Jingwen smiled and shook his head.

"It doesn't matter, no one here knows me!"

Then he shook his bangs, looked at the tax and silver water cart that was winding forward, and said,

"Everyone else, return to the inn. Xiao Guizi and A Da, you two, follow me to the city gate and take a look!"

Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they heard this.

Yangzhou City is not peaceful at the moment. The city gate, which is the symbol of Yangzhou City, has been occupied by the bandits from Qingfeng Village.

Although that group of bandits did not cause any trouble in Yangzhou, if something unexpected happened, God knows how many people in Daqian would lose their heads!

By then, not to mention their lives, even their nine clans will be unable to withstand a single blow!

Xiao Guizi hurriedly advised anxiously,

"Second Master, absolutely not! You are a noble person, how can you easily reveal yourself to others? Besides, these bandits in Yangzhou are extremely vicious and ferocious."

"If there is any collision, even if we die a thousand times, it will be difficult to atone for our sins!"

Ah Da also clasped his fists and said,

"Yes, Second Master! How about you and Eunuch Gui go back first, and I'll go to the city gate to find out what's going on?"

Chen Jingwen put his hands behind his back, looked at the city gate in the distance, and then looked at the small vendors selling snacks not far away, and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, you see. Although the Yangzhou city gate is controlled by that gang of bandits, everything inside the city remains the same. This shows that the bandits in Qingfeng Village are no ordinary bandits!"

"My interest is even greater!"

Seeing that Ah Da and Xiao Guizi wanted to say something more,

Chen Jingwen stepped forward.

"Ah Xiao Guizi stays here, everyone else goes back!"

Although the voice was calm and indifferent, it was filled with immense majesty.

A Da and Xiao Guizi looked at each other and followed reluctantly.

One guard turned the carriage around and went back, while the remaining guards scattered around, hid themselves and continued to guard.

Chen Jingwen brought Ada and Xiaoguizi to a small stall selling stuffed pancakes.

Said to the vendor,

"Hey, old man, how are your pies selling?"

A Da and Xiao Guizi followed behind Chen Jingwen, looking vigilantly at the passers-by around them.

Seeing that there was a business coming and the other party's extraordinary demeanor, the vendor nodded and bowed hurriedly,

"Sir, I have both vegetarian and meat-based pie. The vegetarian ones are one penny each, and the meat-based ones are three pennies each. How many would you like?"

Chen Jingwen looked at it and asked with a smile,

"Give me two meaty ones!"

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"
