This may also be related to the fact that the Yue Kingdom's imperial court had very strict control over martial arts. They were not allowed to practice martial arts at will or wear weapons at will, unless they obtained permission from the Yamen.
Therefore, when Shen Mingzhu led people into the city, he had them hide their weapons and pretend that they were just ordinary caravans and did not know any martial arts.
This also caused the guards to treat them with great contempt and treat them as ordinary people.
When Zhang Huai ordered to turn around and go back, not only the guards, but also the local people were shocked.
There are still people who dare to challenge the city gate guards like this. Are they really capable or are they just tired of living?
I don’t know whether to live or die.
Is it possible that they have some background?
Otherwise, how could you be so bold?
The common people were whispering, some were sympathetic, some were worried, and some were gloating about the misfortune, and there was excitement to watch.
But everyone is not optimistic about them. They just feel that these outsiders do not understand the local rules at all. It is absolutely impossible not to follow the local customs when they come here.
"You see, those people don't have money, they are rich, they just don't want to give it."
"Why don't they spend a little money to avoid disasters if they are so rich? Why do they have to make such a big fuss."
"I saw someone in the motorcade lift the carriage, and I saw that it was covered with some fine silk."
"I guess he's a businessman from Qin?"
"It's going to be a disaster."
"It's a small thing but a big loss."
If they were just ordinary vendors, it wouldn't matter if they didn't enter the city, and they wouldn't attract anyone's attention.
But there are more than twenty people in their group, and now they have four large carts for pulling goods and two horse-drawn carriages for pulling people. At first glance, they look like they have some wealth.
These guards work as guards on weekdays, but once they turn around, they become even more unreasonable hooligans than gangsters.
Everyone felt that something was going to happen to this group of people, and these guards would soon send people to rob them.
They were not guessing, but speaking from experience. There were some businessmen who had just arrived before and did not understand this principle. In the end, they endured not entering the city, but they were looted by bandits at night.
The woman was captured, the man was hacked to death, and all the property was looted.
At that time, the government sent people to investigate the case and determined it to be robbery by bandits.
But in fact, the local people all know what this means, and it is clearly a cover-up.
Everyone in the local area knew that it was not actually a bandit at all, but a collaboration between these guards. In order to deceive others, they deliberately pretended to be bandits.
Most people just dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Moreover, they only robbed merchants from other places, especially those from foreign countries, and did not harass the local people. The local people gradually became accustomed to it.
It's been a long time since such a scene happened. People who come and go basically know the unspoken rules here, so they don't resist.
If you are blackmailed for some money, you can at least ensure your safety, so you generally won't resist.
I didn't expect to meet him again today.
Many people were as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, and their eyes widened with excitement, watching to see if the kind of robbery that happened in the past would happen.
Sure enough, they saw a guard wearing ordinary people's clothes pretending to be a small trader and secretly leaving with a load on his shoulders.
"This group of people is finished. They are really willing to die."
"This is called death. Didn't you ask about Nagisa's taboos before coming here?"
