The four people seemed to be running away very fast, but under Jiang Ling's discernment, they had already seen through their deception.

The thick fog suddenly broke out, and the four of them used earth escape techniques to hide in the soil.

Jiang Ling used his sleeves to whip up the strong wind and blow away the smoke. In just two or three breaths, they disappeared without a trace in such a short time. At that time, he also felt strange.

Those four people didn't look like they were profound people. At most, they just learned some side skills from Laoshan.

So, he opened his Dharma Eyes, and at first glance, he saw the four people hiding under the soil not far ahead.

It's probably because I haven't mastered [Earth Escape Technique], so I can't escape under the earth, so I can only hide in place.

They probably wanted to wait until Jiangling and the others left, then escape and escape.

But how could Jiangling, who had seen through the clues long ago, let go of the four men who were full of evil deeds?

The sharpened bamboo sticks were thrust down angrily, impaling the four people on the spot.

Little Ying Ning didn't know it, and really thought there was something dirty under the soil that had been stabbed to death.

From the official road to the north, with horses as foot power, it only takes half a day to reach the gateway of Nan County [Qingyang County].

As the gateway to Nan County, Qingyang County is nearly half the size of Linzhou County.

Its population has also more than doubled.

The local folk customs are fierce and fierce, and it has always been an important county for the imperial court to recruit troops.

As we approached the city gate, we suddenly saw a group of guards standing guard.

There was a leader lying on a chair with a basket next to him.

Anyone who passes by him will consciously take out his money and throw it into the basket.

When Jiangling arrived here, there was already a long queue in front of him.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Ling was curious and asked the person in front of him.

He came from Guobei to Linzhou and never saw such a battle before entering the county town.

"Could it be that there are bandits causing trouble, and we are conducting a strict investigation?"

The man in front had a beard and a butcher knife on his waist. He was probably a butcher.

He has a fierce appearance but a kind temperament. When Jiang Ling asked, he replied: "I'm interrogating Naizi just because he wants money. This thief doesn't do his job. He just guards the city gate every day. He has to pay for every visit. No."

The money is not allowed to go out, nor is it allowed to come in."

"So domineering? Where is the king's law?"

The butcher laughed and said to himself, "You are so naive, little brother." "Where the sky is high and the emperor is far away, how can there be any king's law but no king's law? He is the brother-in-law of the county governor, who dares to offend him? It is the county magistrate.

You have to give him seven points. As long as you don't go too far, no one in Nan County can do anything to him."

It turns out to be another related account!

This Chinese tradition is indeed of long standing.

Jiangling: "How much do I have to pay to enter the city?"

The butcher glanced back at him and laughed, "Based on the head, it costs five cents per head, and the horse costs ten cents per head. If you want to bring the girl in, you have to pay twenty cents."

Twenty articles is not too much.

Ordinary people only paid five cents to go in and out. For such a small and insignificant amount of money, no one would offend the county guard's brother-in-law.

The team slowly advanced, and those who couldn't pay were basically kicked away on the spot.

In the words of the guard, if you can't even get out five cents, why are you entering the county? Just go back to the countryside.

The people had no choice but to sigh and leave.

It was the butcher's turn. He was very neat. He had already prepared the five cents, threw them into the basket, and hurried in.

Jiang Ling was behind him, and he was about to take out the money. The soldier who was sitting on the chair suddenly raised his brows, looked past Jiang Ling, and looked Ying Ning up and down.

After looking at it twice, he laughed and poked the guard next to him with his elbow, indicating that he should also check the quality.

The guard obeyed his wishes and marveled when he saw Ying Ning's appearance: "Tsk, I thought that only in the capital city could such fair-skinned and beautiful girls exist. I didn't expect that in such a small and far away place, I could meet her by chance. She is indeed beautiful."

The soldier touched his chin, already thinking about it.

Seeing Jiang Ling drop twenty coins and want to go in, the guard beside him quickly blocked his way.

"Wait a minute, you want to go in now?"

Jiangling: "Twenty cents is a lot."

Bingtou didn't say anything, just lying on the chair leisurely.

He smiled as the guard next to him acted for him: "Who told you twenty cents?"

Jiang Ling: "Those people in front are also like this. One person has five coins, and one horse has ten coins. Isn't it right?"

The guard pointed at his horse: "The other person is someone else, and you are you. Look at your horse. It's dirty and smelly all over the ground. Do you think there should be a charge for cleaning the horse manure?"

Jiang Ling didn't argue with him and just asked: "How much does it cost to enter this city gate?"

The guard glanced at the soldier and said,

Money or not is not the point. The point is that their soldiers have fallen in love with this girl. Therefore, they must make things difficult for him and not let him take it easy.

Only when you are in a dilemma will you ask for soldiers. In this case, the reason is justified.

"Five taels of silver." The guard held out his five fingers.

"Five taels?"

Jiang Ling sneered in his heart. For an ordinary family, five taels of silver would be enough to cover a year's expenses.

By calling out this price, it was clear that he was not asking for money, but had other motives.

From the unabashed expressions of covetousness on the part of the soldiers and guards, it was obvious that they came for Ying Ning's beauty.

"Five taels, just five taels."

Jiang Ling suddenly knelt down and wrapped two pieces of horse dung in yellow talismans very quickly.

With a pinch of the secret formula, the horse dung turns into silver under the influence of spiritual power.

He threw it away and it fell into the basket.

"Now, can we go in?"

The guard's eyes were blank and he looked surprised, this...is this really given?

Since they started setting up baskets here to collect money, almost too many people have been driven away every day because they couldn't come up with five cents.

Some people still can't take out five cents, or they can't help but complain a few times after taking it.

But this Jiangling didn't hesitate, he said five taels, he said five taels, and he threw out the money without blinking an eye.

'Did I say less?'

The guard thought to himself.

As soon as he had this thought, he was kicked in the thigh by a soldier.

This step confirmed that his suspicion was correct.

He looked back and saw the soldier staring at him.

He was also helpless, five taels, who knew that this person would give it to him?!

"Let's get through it."

The soldier spoke.

But as soon as Jiang Ling took two steps, he pointed at Yingning and said, "She can't pass. Five taels of silver is one person's money. She hasn't given it yet, so she can't pass."

Each person receives five taels, and together we collect ten taels from you. Let’s see if you are happy or not!?

The guard was startled and said to himself, "Master, it's not appropriate for you to be too harsh, isn't it?"

But after all, I dared not say it out loud.

Da da da da~~

Suddenly, Jiang Ling stopped and shook his sleeves, shaking out seven ingots of silver in a row.

Including the previous ingot, there are a total of eight ingots and forty taels.

"No need to say more, forty taels is a lot, right?"

Yingning frowned, feeling quite disgusted with the behavior of the soldiers and guards. Even more disgusting than the four traffickers before.

If Jiang Ling hadn't pulled her away, she would have wanted to give these two people a good meal at the gate of the city.

When the soldier saw him giving forty taels in one breath, instead of being happy, his face turned dark: "You have a lot of money?"

Jiang Ling: "If there are more, the people queuing up behind can be counted. Now, can I leave?"
