"What's the entry fee?" Luo Chen was dumbfounded. He obviously didn't understand that there was such a broken rule! There are so many pedestrians coming and going in Baiyun City every day, how much entry fee should be charged? In his opinion, this is a black city.
!
Wuling County is also a third-level city, but I have never heard of collecting any so-called city entry fees. In fact, this is normal. Wuling County does not even have a city lord's palace. It is completely a piece of sand. Who will collect the city entry fees?
For any regular city, you have to pay an entry fee to enter the city. Not only that, the higher the level of the city, the more the entry fee is required to enter the city. There is no way around this. If other outside soul masters are allowed to enter,
Entering the city, the city was already in chaos.
But even so, the population entering the city every day is still skyrocketing!
Luo Chen's face turned bitter. He thought that this one gold coin would be enough for him to squander for several days, but then he realized that a mere gold coin was not a squander, even if it was just for daily food and clothing.
not enough.
When I was in Wuling County, I had a gold coin in my hand, which was enough to eat in a good restaurant.
Not only did I sigh secretly in my heart, life outside was indeed not that easy.
The two of them supported each other, attracting a lot of disgusted looks. They escaped from death in Baiyun Valley. Their clothes were in tatters and they were dirty. They were no better than beggars.
"Oh, it's so dirty and smelly. You don't even look at where this place is when you beg for food. Is this something you lowly slaves can step into?"
The city gate has not yet been opened. Foreign merchants and soul masters are all waiting here. There are many stone benches in front of the city gate, which are used to rest while waiting. After traveling all night, both of them are tired, so they support each other.
I sat down, but I didn't expect to be treated as a beggar, and the harsh and harsh words made people even more angry!
The person who said this was a young woman in her thirties, dressed in luxurious furs, with various expensive diamond rings between her fingers. She was either rich or noble.
"Baiyun City is a third-level city, and the people who come and go are all high-profile people. Not everything can enter the city."
After saying that, the young woman covered her mouth and smiled softly. She thought she was very elegant and stood up from the stone bench. She deliberately moved half a meter to the side, showing a look of disgust.
Zhong Li was furious. As the second young lady of the Zhong family, even though the family was in decline, she had never felt such cowardice.
And the fur that the young woman was wearing looked familiar, both in style and model, but I couldn't remember it for the moment.
The young woman looked pretty, and in this cold weather, she held a oscillating fan in her hand, which she thought was very elegant as she swayed it back and forth.
"Do we know this aunt?"
Zhong Li was furious. She was already holding a lot of anger in her heart and had nowhere to vent it. Just when she was about to get angry, she was pulled back by Luo Chen. She was wondering in her heart when the clinker Luo Chen shyly stood up and faced the young woman.
road.
"Auntie?"
Everyone watching the excitement was stunned. The young woman was only in her early thirties, and she was in her most beautiful period. Aunt?
The young woman was stunned at first. She looked back and forth first, and then looked at Luo Chen subconsciously. After a long time, she finally realized what she was doing. At that moment, the face of the coquettish goblin who was heavily powdered was instantly distorted.
Everyone around was astonished. Where did this naughty kid come from? He was so naughty!
Zhong Li covered his mouth and chuckled, his original anger dissipated, and he rubbed Luo Chen's little head appreciatively.
"You idiot..."
The young woman was so angry that she was about to curse, when she heard a series of neat steps in the originally closed city gate, followed by a heavy creaking sound, and the city gate opened.
Wow~
The people waiting on the stone benches suddenly stood up and faced the bee chrysalis at the city gate. Seeing this, the young woman glared at Luo Chen fiercely, and then threw away the fan in her hand.
The expensive fur skirt also rushed towards the city gate.
"Xiao Luochen, you performed well."
I feel a little depressed in my heart, Luo Chen is just Luo Chen, why do I need to add a small word in front of it?
The crowd was in chaos, and some people who had snuck into the city secretly were beaten up with bruises on their noses and faces and were thrown out.
After everyone entered the city, Luo Chen smiled at Zhong Li, held hands, and entered Baiyun City after handing over a gold coin.
"Baozi, delicious steamed buns."
"Tofu brain, three copper coins a bowl."
“Golden youtiao, if it’s not delicious, you don’t have to pay for it.”
…
As soon as I entered the city, I could hear all kinds of shouts. After paying the entrance fee, there was only one silver coin left for every gold coin.
My stomach is a little empty. I have just entered the city, so I naturally fill my stomach first.
"Sister Zhong Li, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
Luo Chen patted his chest and said very richly.
Zhong Li covered his mouth and chuckled. After thinking about it, he pointed to a bun shop on the roadside and said with a smile, "That's it."
"Here comes a basket of xiaolongbao."
Luo Chen raised the silver coins in his hand and shouted at the little old man selling buns.
In the past few days, I have been sleeping in the open air and being hunted. I haven't had a warm meal for a long time.
There are almost twelve Xiao Long Bao in a cage, but this Baiyun City Xiao Long Bao is too weird, right?
"So small?"
Looking at the basket of steaming steamed dumplings, Luo Chen doubted that he could swallow five in one bite.
A basket contains only twelve mini steamed buns, but requires twenty-five copper coins.
As a result, one silver coin in hand is only enough to buy four cages.
Calculating it this way, the prices in Baiyun City are simply ridiculous! If it were in Wuling County, this one silver coin could be used to have a meal with wine and meat in a good tavern.
The hot steamed buns, one bite at a time, make your mouth full of oil. After eating it, your stomach suddenly feels warm and comfortable.
"Boss, three more drawers!"
Zhong Li had a very small appetite and could only eat four or five long steamed buns as big as beans before he was full, and the rest went into Luo Chen's stomach.
"Sister Zhong Li, where are we going next?"
After breakfast, the silver coins on hand have been spent. One silver coin per meal is not an option for a long time.
"My Zhong family has some foundation in Baiyun City. Let's go and have a look first."
If the fur robbery this time is really related to those old guys in the clan, you can tell something by going there.
On Gangdong Street, the busiest street in Baiyun City, there is a very expensive fur shop. It is said to be a shop, but its scale is far beyond what an ordinary shop can compare with!
In the attic-style shop, there are all kinds of precious furs hanging. The more expensive ones cost hundreds of gold coins, and even the cheaper ones cost no less than ten gold coins!
At this time, in the luxurious private room at the attic, a bald man put his feet on the table, holding a pretty little maid on each side of the room. He started playing around without caring about whether there was anyone else in the private room.
"Elder Zhong, according to the agreement, I robbed the furs and killed the people. The original agreement between us should be settled properly from time to time."
His eyes shifted, and in the corner of the private room, an old man was slowly wiping a jade Ruyi. The old man was quite old, in his sixties or seventies, and his temples were all gray, but his eyes were not cloudy, they were bright and clear.
God's gaze is on the jade in his hand.
If Zhong Li was here at this time, he would definitely recognize that the bald man in front of him was none other than the third head of the Baiyun Village. The Zhong family's furs were robbed, but this person appeared here, and based on his tone,
There is actually another hidden secret.
"Finished?"
The old man raised his head unhurriedly, flicked his fingers, and a gold card flew out of the old man's sleeves and flicked towards the bald man.
"The gold card has a limit of three thousand gold coins. You can use this gold card to exchange for gold coins."
"Three thousand? Huh! Elder Zhong seems to have made a mistake, right? We originally agreed on thirty thousand!"
He paused while rubbing his big hands, and there was a chill in his voice. The arms in his embrace were hard, and the maid in his arms screamed in pain.
"Thirty thousand? That's on the premise that you complete the task! Five carts of intact furs, what did you give them? Is this the ability of the three leaders of your Baiyun Village to handle affairs?
Let’s not talk about whether the quantity of fur is enough. I would like to ask, what is the reason for the holes in the good fur?
The old man was furious, and the jade Ruyi he was wiping shattered into powder with a bang. The Third Master's eyelids twitched a little, and he managed to squeeze out a smile: "It's because my subordinates are not doing things well, but the three thousand gold coins are indeed a little short. This time I
Many brothers were injured in Baiyun Village, and these three thousand gold coins are not enough to heal their injuries."
"If you don't have enough, you can take those furs and sell them."
"This... ahem... Elder Zhong, we have cooperated more than once. What you said is really hurtful. In this way, no matter how you say it, I have solved a big problem for you. Although in Fur
There was a slight mistake, but it can be regarded as completing the task assigned by you.
I don’t want more, five thousand! And doesn’t the Zhong family still have an eldest lady? The cooperative relationship between us has not come to an end yet, what do you think? "
The old man was silent, turned around, took down another jade bottle from the wooden shelf, and continued to wipe it.
"Keep talking."
"Haha, although the Zhong family has lost a second lady, the eldest lady is now in charge of the Zhong family. Since you always want to control the Zhong family, then this eldest lady..."
"There is a limit of two thousand gold coins in this gold card. Take it and get out!" (To be continued)
