Everyone looked at Jia Lian curiously.

I wondered how he would get out of the city.

Even Chen Jingwen, at this moment, had his hands folded across his chest, touching his chin and staring at Jia Lian curiously.

Want to see what this somewhat cowardly guy wants to do?

He was obviously scared to death, but he suddenly appeared here. Could it be that he really had a way to get out of the city?

Hearing the words of the man from Qingfeng Village, Jia Lian shuddered and quickly came to his senses.

His calves were trembling, but he still forced a smile and clasped his fists to the man from Qingfeng Village who was shouting at him.

"Okay, okay, silly! Yes, yes, I want to leave the city! I hope you can help me!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the convoy behind him.

"Behind me are the family of the Yangzhou Salt Inspector, as well as a convoy from the Salt Administration Office preparing to leave the city on official business. I hope you can help me."

After saying this, he took out a silver note from his pocket with a look of reluctance on his face.

This was the gift Lin Ruhai gave him that morning.

Pulling out a silver note, Jia Lian handed it over with a look of heartache but also a smile on his face.

Many people watching the excitement around booed when they saw this.

"Is this guy mentally ill? Qingfeng Village has always had strict discipline, and he actually dared to challenge the dignity of Qingfeng Village?"

"That's right! I guess we're going to have a good show now! This guy will probably be caught and whipped by the people from Qingfeng Village!"

"No, no, no, it's also possible that they were hung directly in front of the city gate like those dozen heads above!"

"Do you think he eats oil cakes?"

"..."

Everyone was talking about it, but few people were afraid.

Although Qingfengzhai was a group of bandits who invaded Yangzhou and occupied the city gate, they were a group of reasonable and disciplined bandits.

As long as you don't violate their regulations, they won't take action without reason.

Chen Jingwen was cursing in his heart at this moment, with his fists clenched.

A pair of eyes full of anger stared at Jia Lian in front of the city gate!

If there weren't bandits from Qingfeng Village at the door, he would have personally punched the guy in the face a few times!

Damn Jia Lian!

As soon as he opened his mouth, he revealed all the information about the salt tax in the team!

You know, the people in Qingfeng Village are bandits!

They actually treat the government the same way?

If the people of Qingfeng Village become interested in the salt taxes, the consequences will be unimaginable!

At that time, he would definitely petition his father to have the entire Rongguo Mansion executed!

Also, Lin Ruhai, the Imperial Censor of Salt, is also a fool!

How could they entrust the safety of nearly ten million taels of tax silver to a dandy like Jia Lian?!

Just when Chen Jingwen was filled with anger and worry,

The man from Qingfeng Village frowned, and without even looking at the banknote Jia Lian handed over, he said in a cold voice,

"Qingfeng Village has been ordered to close the city gates. No one is allowed to leave the city without the order of our Peak Master!"

Jia Lian's face twitched, he thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and took out all the banknotes in his arms.

At this moment, he only wanted to leave the city as soon as possible and then leave Yangzhou.

No matter what, I just handed it over.

"Good man, please do me a favor..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a clang.

The man from Qingfeng Village drew his sword and placed it on Jia Lian's neck.

Jia Lian suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and his whole body trembled like a sieve, shaking with fear.

“Mercy, mercy, mercy…”

The man from Qingfeng Village spoke directly.

"This person bribed our village's personnel on duty. According to the rules of Qingfeng Village, he should be punished with fifty strokes of the cane!"

Then he shouted in a deep voice,

"Somebody come!"

At this moment, Jia Lian felt a chill in his crotch and his heart went blank.

Fifty lashes? Could he still survive?

At this moment, Jia Lian had even gone over in his mind where would be the best place to be reincarnated in his next life after his death.

As for Jia Lian's servants, they were all frightened and silent.

It's okay to let them take advantage of others' power, but when they have to face the Qingfeng Village for real, they all lowered their heads and remained silent, not daring to say a word.
