"The consequences of using chili powder instead of salt are anal fever and gastrointestinal upset. Poor people don't have the extra money to see a doctor, so they can only make their own medicine to treat it. I don't know how many lives of the Duanyang people have been ruined by this.

"

"Just because the medicinal materials in the medicine shop are very expensive, the people have no choice but to go up the mountain to collect them on their own. Others don't know, but we know the market outside. The local medicinal materials are more than half as expensive as those outside. No, it's not just salt and medicine.

, many things are expensive.”

There was a mocking smile on the young man's face. Why is it so expensive? It's just because someone deliberately raised the price for profit. It's self-evident where the price difference went!

Long Qi's brows furrowed even more. The local climate was not good, and it was difficult for the people to have a good harvest. Judging from the situation after entering the city, commerce was not developed, and the handicraft industry was probably the same. If what this kid said was true, they would be

It makes sense to force someone to turn into a bandit.

"You are so tyrannical and wantonly breaking into the city to rob, and the government just turns a blind eye?" Long Qi finds this the most incredible thing. If the local government treats them as nothing, then there are still rules in the city.

Can it be said?

"There is no law here. As long as you have money and power, you can get rid of all troubles. Don't say that we robbed wealth, just killed people. As long as we give enough money, we can escape. Anyway, this place is far away from the capital, and no one has to go thousands of miles away.

Go all the way to complain to the emperor."

Long Qi sneered: "So what if we get to the capital. We have to go through the nail-rolling board before we can face the saint. There are very few people who can survive it. How many people can do it if they risk their own lives in order to file a petition?"

arrive."

The common people's complaint to the officials to roll the nail board was originally abolished in the late Daqi Dynasty, but it was reused in East Vietnam.

The boards are nailed with the nails pointed upward, ranging from two feet in length to four or five feet in length. People who want to sue the officials need to roll over the nail board!

The young man blinked and looked at Long Qi with a more inquiring look: "Brother, are you from the capital? How do you know this kind of thing so clearly? You must be a big shot because of your extraordinary actions.

"

Long Qi just looked at him sideways, but he was thoughtful in his heart. He ignored his question and asked: "Do you have a tacit understanding with the local government? How can you rob homes and homes so wantonly?"

The young man's face was filled with anger, and he was extremely embarrassed after being exposed: "First of all, it can't harm people's lives, and it won't cause injury or death. It's just a robbery of wealth. Isn't it just the wealth gained from this robbery? Naturally, I have to show my filial piety and give out some of it."

Long Qi was furious when he heard this: "How dare they do this?"

"Brother, please calm down." The young man felt the anger in him and was afraid of harming himself, so he hurriedly said: "If you don't say that the emperor here is far away from the people, the parents and officials are the biggest emperors, and the emperor who is far away in the capital can be controlled by me.

We can’t go here.” Yuanqu Pavilion

Long Qi was so angry that he laughed and said coldly: "You really were arrested and gave money and then walked out of the government office in a big way. How can the local officials be so arrogant?"

The young man rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said with a smile: "What I said just now is a bit exaggerated. They are so cunning, how could they let us go out in such a big way? They are all pretending to escape from prison. There is a tacit understanding between each other and they will not expose each other.

."

There was such a tacit understanding between them. When Long Qi thought about what he saw in the southwest, and then looked at this Duanyang Festival, it was like evil ghosts were rampant in the world!

The people in the southwest are living a miserable life. Only some people's lives have suddenly improved visibly. This is because of Kuya's purchase. However, the winter drought happened suddenly this year. Looking at the weather conditions in the southwest, if there is another spring drought, spring farming will not be possible.

Don't think about it.

Long Qi heard the people complaining all the way here. He had no hope for the beginning of spring. He even hoped that merchants from other places could expand the scope of purchases to make their lives easier.

Yes, Liu Yuan and others used the name of foreign merchants when purchasing and did not dare to expose themselves.

Only when he came to Duanyang did Long Qi know what being openly bad meant. Even the people acquiesced to this unreasonable rule. This itself was unreasonable and shocking.

All the strange feelings upstairs just now have their origins. Why are the shopkeeper and waiters acting like that, and why are the residents acting like that? They are accustomed to it. This habit has been common for a long time, and they also regard it as a reasonable existence. How can it be so?

fear!

"Brother, we were forced to leave this business. We have never harmed anyone's life. Moreover, part of the money we robbed was given back to the charity hall. Many people even praised us for robbing the rich and giving to the poor."

When the young man mentioned Shi Ji Tang, Long Qi raised his head and asked, "What is Shi Ji Tang?"

"It is a place built by Mr. Cheng of the academy to house orphans and the elderly who have lost their children to support." The young man said: "We secretly put some money in every time to make up for our conscience, but later on we don't know who leaked it.

The sound of the wind."

"Mr. Cheng from the academy is a female gentleman?"

"How do you know?" The young man was now more convinced: "Brother, you are indeed from the capital, and you have seen people in the world. It is said that Mr. Cheng comes from a famous family, and his grandfather is a great writer who is famous all over the world.

He even played chess with the emperor!"

Long Qi said: "Mr. Cheng Cheng has passed away and is no longer alive."

"Dead?" The young man touched his nose again: "Brother, are you here to find Mr. Cheng? I know where their academy is."

"Take me there after dawn." Long Qi glanced at him: "How many bandits like you are there in Duanyang?"

The young man was startled, shook his head and said: "How can we count these clearly? Only those like us who only seek money dare to go in and out of the city. Those who seek wealth and murder are all lurking around the officialdom outside the city. They are the most vicious.

Kill people and take wealth!"

They are all bandits, and they have different ways of being bandits. They act differently and have different stances. Naturally, they cannot end up in the same place.

They think they are keeping the bottom line when they play this way. They only seek money, not life. They are not associated with the kind of ruthless gangsters who don't care about killing, snatching women, and abducting children. When young people mention them, they have a look on their faces.

of contempt.

Long Qi thought for a while and suddenly said: "I am in need of a guide in Duanyang. If you follow me these days, I will not treat you badly."

After saying that, Long Qi put an ingot of silver on the table. This ingot was ten taels. The young man was about to get it. Long Qi covered it with a wave of his big hand and said: "Do the work first, then take the silver. I said

To do it.”

"..." The young man was slumped when Long Qi said again: "You don't have a name and it's hard to call you. Why don't I call you Ah Chen."

Long Qi didn't know why he gave him this name. His tribe's name translated to "star", so he simply gave him a star. It was getting late, so Long Qi pointed to the ground and asked the young man to lay the floor, while he turned over the
