Chapter 273 Exposed right after arriving?
As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw several officers and soldiers gathered around me, asking them questions with unkind expressions.
"Our boss is doing business abroad and now he wants to go home to visit his relatives."
The monkey smiled slightly, took out a few big ones from his arms, and stuffed them into the arms of the officers and soldiers.
"Go home to visit your relatives? Let your people come out."
The officers and soldiers took the copper coins and stuffed them directly into their waists, and then motioned to Wei Shan in the car to come out.
"Master."
Wei Shan got out of the car, and several officers and soldiers quickly searched the inside and outside of the carriage carefully.
Shi Chang looked Wei Shan up and down. Although he was well-dressed, he didn't know why he always felt out of place.
"Are you from Xinfeng?"
Shi Chang frowned and asked Wei Shan.
"That's right, my name is Wei Shan. I am from Weijia Village. I have made some money outside. Now I am going home to visit my relatives."
Wei Shan quickly saluted to the Chief.
"People from Weijia Village should do something wrong when doing business there."
Wei Shan was stunned when he heard that Shi Chang asked for a place of refuge.
How could he have done anything wrong as a bandit? Besides, he was not about to leave seclusion. When would he need this thing?
"I was doing business in Tongchuan. My father was critically ill at home and I didn't have time to get a settlement. Besides, I never asked for a settlement before I returned to Xinfeng."
After listening to Wei Shan's words, the chief pouted and said: "That was before, but now Xinfeng is no longer what it used to be. The county magistrate requested that there be some mistakes, and there must be some consequences."
"I hope the official will be accommodating. My father is indeed critically ill. Now that I'm back to Tongchuan to handle the matter, it may be too late."
Wei Shan was also depressed. He really couldn't figure out what the county magistrate was up to.
If he was rejected, how could he go into the city to collect information?
Even if he could go back to the village directly, how could he report back if he didn't collect information on the situation in Xinfeng County?
"I told you that today is different from the past, but you are making it a little difficult for me."
Shi Chang glanced at Wei Shan and then rubbed his fingers.
"I hope the official will be accommodating."
Wei Shan hurriedly came to Shi Chang's side, and with some pain, he took out a hundred dollars and stuffed it into Shi Chang's hand.
"Although I have no wrongdoing, I thought your father was sick, so please register and come in."
Shi Chang looked around and nodded.
"Register? It's better to waive it, I. I can't write."
Wei Shan was immediately confused. He had already given his money, so shouldn't he be allowed in?
Still need to register?
Who specifically made the rules?
Besides, I can’t write, so how can I register?
"It's okay. Just state your name, place of origin, and purpose of coming to Xinfeng. I'll arrange for someone to transcribe it for you."
Shi Chang glanced at Wei Shan with disdain.
Even if you don't know a single Chinese character, you can still make money in business.
It's really unreasonable.
"Okay, okay."
Wei Shu quickly went to the scholar next to him and reported everything as requested by the chief.
After everything was ready, Wei Shu was about to board the car and enter the city, but he was stopped by officers and soldiers.
"Master, we have registered as you said, why are you stopping me?"
Wei Shu was depressed. He had already spent a hundred dollars, so why wasn't he allowed in?
"You have registered, and they must also register."
After hearing the long words, Monkey and the others also scratched their heads and hurried over to register.
"Let it go."
After Shi Chang gave the order, the officers and soldiers also let go of the obstruction.
After Wei Shu left, a light flashed in Shi Chang's eyes.
"What's wrong?"
A corps commander came over and wondered what was wrong with him.
"Don't you think there's something wrong with these people?"
Chief Shi glanced at Wei Shu's carriage and said slowly to Chief Wu.
"You're right to say that. Those people don't look like ordinary businessmen at all, especially that guy with sinister features. How can any businessman use such a person?"
After hearing Shi Chang's words, the corps commander also fell into deep thought.
"Immediately report their situation to Young Master Changsun."
"Okay, I understand."
The Wu Commander nodded and left directly to report to Chang Sun Yan.
Wei Shu and others entered the city and looked at the numerous shops and the endless crowds of people, their eyes full of horror.
"Was Sandong's house, Xinfeng, so prosperous before?"
The monkey looked here and there, then slowly asked Wei Shu.
"If this place was so prosperous before, why should I go far away?"
Wei Shu was also depressed. If this place was so prosperous before, why would he be willing to commit suicide and become a bandit?
"It seems that those rumors are true. Xinfeng is already so wealthy, so what will a hot spring town look like?"
A cold light flashed in the monkey's eyes. If they could really break through this place, then they would be really prosperous.
"Stop talking nonsense, find an inn to stay in first, and then you can inquire more about the surrounding situation. Remember, don't get into trouble."
Wei Shan glanced at the monkey, "Your eyes are all green. If anyone sees it, I will kill you first, you idiot."
"okay."
A few people randomly found an inn to stay, and then all the people who followed Wei Shan wandered around Xinfeng City and began to inquire about the news here.
Wei Shan sat on the bed in the guest room with his eyes closed, wondering what he was thinking.
Monkey and the others made inquiries in Xinfeng City, but little did they know that they had been targeted.
The people and vendors in the city are all Li Yanran's spies now. In their eyes, Monkey and the others have become key suspects in their actions and conversations.
"Master Changsun, we found a suspicious person."
"Go aside, Mr. Changsun, I also discovered it."
"We also made a discovery."
Changsun Yan looked at the people who came to report the news, smiled slightly, and asked them to speak one by one.
After everyone was gathered together, Changsun Yan already had a rough impression of Monkey and the others.
"Okay, thank you all, go ahead and do whatever you need to do."
"okay."
After hearing Changsun Yan's words, the people also left separately.
The people of Xinfeng have just had a good life for a few days. If someone really wants to come and cause trouble, it will destroy everyone's jobs.
They will never allow this to happen.
"The eldest grandson, the eldest grandson."
The captain of the city gate also rushed over.
"Liuzi, what's wrong?"
Looking at the Wu Commander, Chang Sun Yan also smiled slightly.
"A group of people came to Xinfeng today. They said they were doing business abroad and came home to visit their relatives, but we felt that those people did not look like ordinary businessmen.
His behavior is suspicious, so the commander sent me to report to you."
