Chapter 505: The "Black-Hearted" Princess
Chapter 505: The "Black-Hearted" Princess
"Clap!"
As soon as the yamen runner said this, the little system was so frightened that the big apple that he was holding in his hand fell to the ground.
"No, host, when did you tell him this?"
She was a little bit surprised. Her host had just arrived and hadn't even been able to enter the gate of Chen County?
Besides, they are inseparable all day long. It is Master Su who said this, so there is no way she, as a system, doesn't know it, right?
"This host also wants to know which ear of these people heard me say this."
Yuxiu gritted her teeth and looked at the yamen runner at the city gate with an even more stern look.
Damn it, what kind of hatred or grudge could this be? How dare someone ruin her reputation like this?
"She is already a high-ranking princess, how could she know how difficult life is for the common people..."
The leading yamen runner slowly dropped the copper coins into the cash box, then sighed a few times and waved to the woman.
"Go in quickly. Remember, we are not deliberately making things difficult for you today. We are following the orders of Princess Kangning."
"Thank you, sir. Thank you very much..."
When the woman heard that she could leave, she didn't hear what the bailiff said otherwise and immediately thanked him with a grateful face.
Then he hugged his son tightly in his arms and staggered into the city.
No matter whether she was a princess or an emperor, they had nothing to do with her, a peasant woman from a remote mountainous area.
Now her mind was completely focused on her son. She just wanted to go to the city as soon as possible to find the old doctor who was said to be very good in the village to treat him.
"Alas, this princess is so black-hearted..."
"Keep your voice down, do you want to die?"
"What are you afraid of? She is a high-ranking princess. She must stay in the capital all day long and never go out of the house. How can she hear me scolding her?"
"She can't hear it, but look at those yamen runners, they are all her lackeys. It would be terrible if they heard it..."
…………
After the woman left, the people waiting to enter the city began to murmur in low voices.
Even the women who came out with Yuxiu began to curse angrily.
"God is really blind. Such a black-hearted person can actually become a county lord. The people of Chen County will be in trouble in the future..."
"Who says it's not true? The richer a person is, the less conscience he has..."
"The current one may also be blind..."
"Okay, these are not things we can discuss. You have to know what to say and what not to say, otherwise you will hurt others and yourself."
Finally, Su Wan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped out to stop them.
This does make sense. The women all shut their mouths and looked at Yuxiu awkwardly.
Seeing that she didn't respond for a long time, he lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to say anything more.
The voices of these people talking were not quiet, but the yamen runners acted as if they didn't hear them.
As usual, they collected a twenty-cent entrance fee from each person and then chased them away like flies.
Soon, it was Yuxiu and her friends' carriage's turn.
The yamen runners originally thought that these carriages came from some wealthy families, but when they got closer, they saw that they were all from ordinary people with pale skinny faces.
"It costs twenty cents for a person to enter the city. If you want to bring a carriage and a horse into the city, you need to pay an additional twenty cents."
The leading bailiff raised his head, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
He was naturally very dissatisfied because the reward money he had received disappeared.
But it’s hard to say it directly, so I can only find a reason to make trouble.
If these people are unwilling to give or unable to give, he will take the opportunity to cause trouble and eventually seize the carriage and horses.
hey-hey……
It’s okay if you don’t want to give it to me, we men can get it ourselves!
"Give it to him according to his request. We are new here, so we should not cause trouble here."
Although Yuxiu didn't know his specific thoughts, she knew that this rule should have been tailored for people like her.
If the requirements are not met, there will probably be trouble for a while.
After hearing Yuxiu's words, everyone obediently took out their copper coins and paid the entrance fee without exception.
I didn't expect that these people, although they didn't look very impressive, were so quick to give money.
The yamen runners all regretted that they asked for too little, but they were all grown men and still had to maintain some dignity.
Although I am very dissatisfied, it is not a good time to regret it.
Yuxiu had a gloomy face and said nothing, but when the carriage passed the city gate, she secretly remembered the chief yamen runner who was weighing the copper coins.
If she hadn't decided on this whim, she would never have thought that she would encounter such a thing.
I originally thought that being conferred the title of a princess or a princess with a fiefdom would at least bring honor to my ancestors for eighteen generations, right?
My goodness, if her reputation is ruined any further by these people, I guess her ancestors for eighteen generations would jump up and beat her up if they were still alive.
The reason why he didn't expose the matter on the spot was that Yuxiu knew in his heart that such a matter was simply not something that a yamen runner like him could decide.
Let’s not talk about others, but at least the magistrate of Chen County is definitely in trouble.
After entering the city, several carriages headed south along the bluestone streets.
The man driving the car in front was named Wei Dahai. He had been to Chen County twice in his early years and had some impression of this place.
Under his leadership, the group soon arrived at the door of an inn on South Street.
These have all been discussed. We will first find an inn to stay in, and then buy or rent a yard for everyone to stay in temporarily.
The process went very smoothly. Yuxiu didn't have to worry about it. Everyone worked together and quickly found a man to rent the yard.
Sure enough, the prices in the remote small county town are quite reasonable.
The landlord only asked for 1,800 taels of silver for a semi-new courtyard with three entrances.
Moreover, the yard is very tidy, and once all the documents are handed over, everyone can move in directly.
When we came out of Miao Village, everyone agreed to sell themselves and follow Yuxiu from then on.
At this time, Yuxiu asked again.
We have already arrived at the county town. If anyone has other ideas, just take your luggage and leave.
If they don't change their minds, they will have to write a contract of sale and have someone take it to the government office to file it.
Everyone shook their heads firmly, and no one wanted to leave at this time.
So everyone signed the contract to sell their bodies, and Yuxiu went back to find the human trafficker from before and asked him to help register it.
