The general is red makeup

The next day.

The two left the town early, remembering that last night, Xu Zheng left after sending her a beggar chicken. She couldn't help but wonder, what is the origin of this old naughty boy?

"By the way, Ye Jinyu." On the way, Shen Luoqi really couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "After the Hundred Hunting Banquet, did you hear Ning Gujiu or Shen Tianyi mention a person dressed as a beggar who called himself Xu Zheng?" , an old man."

Hearing this, Ye Jinyu thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "Xu Zheng? No, there doesn't seem to be such a person in Jianghu."

yes.Shen Luoqi was also very strange, but he seemed to have a high level of cultivation, not to mention Shen Luoqi, even Ye Jinyu might not be his opponent.According to his unfathomable cultivation base, he shouldn't have no reputation in the world.

Just as Shen Luoqi was thinking, Ye Jinyu saw through her thoughts: "What? You met? I think that person's cultivation level is not low."

Shen Luoqi was curious: "How do you know?"

Ye Jinyu smiled: "You told me."

Shen Luoqi frowned: "When did I say that?"

The smile on Ye Jinyu's face became more and more obvious, and he said, "Is there any need to say it? Don't you write everything on your face?"

Shen Luoxi rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

They didn't bring any attendants with them on this trip, so they traveled a little faster, and when they arrived on horseback, it only took a few days.

Look at the plaque on the city gate: Yuzhou.

This is an important checkpoint of the frontier fortress of Zhulu City. The checkpoints are extremely careful. Before entering the checkpoint, the two saw a long queue in front of them.

The leader was a fat man with big ears and full body. He was wearing an official uniform, sitting on a temporary platform, holding a pair of mouth pots in his hand, like a god of wealth.

Then, the master next to him came forward and whispered something in his ear, and the "God of Wealth" nodded, as if acquiescing.

The master got the consent, and then he walked to the front of the crowd and raised his voice: "Everyone be quiet!"

After his call, the boiling crowd was quiet for a while.

"Recently, my Yuzhou is full of thieves. It is understandable for you to want to take refuge in my Yuzhou." The master shouted at the top of his voice: "But! My Yuzhou is really small, and you are afraid to bring so many salutes." It is easy to cause panic among the people in the city. Therefore, please put all the salutes at our designated collection place, and we will keep them for everyone.”

After all, the crowd boiled up again, some people were unwilling, but some people had already started to hand in their things.

"It looks like they are all refugees." Ye Jinyu said, "However, there has been no war in the past few days, and I have never heard of any bandits. How come there are so many refugees?"

Shen Luoqi didn't pay attention to these things. She watched the refugees hand in their salutes, but the soldiers there just took away some valuable items, such as the jade pendants they carried with them. The coral and emeralds in the package seem to have never been touched.

"It's really strange." Shen Luoxi said: "These people don't look like they want to keep things for them, but they seem to... collect tolls?"

After what Shen Luoqi said, Ye Jinyu seemed to have noticed the clue: "Come on, let's go and have a look."

Saying that, the two led the horse and walked towards the pass.

The guards at the gate immediately stopped the two of them: "What are you doing! Didn't you see that everyone is queuing up? Go later."

Without further ado, Ye Jinyu escaped with the token of Yuwangfu, and threw it to the guard. The royal thing, the guard naturally recognized it. After carefully looking at the token, he immediately knelt down and said, "Forgive me, sir. , but I don't know that the third master came here in person, and the minor crime deserves ten thousand deaths."

"I'll spare you the death penalty." Ye Jinyu said, "Take me to see your lord."

"Yes." Immediately, the two guards quickly took the ropes from Ye Jinyu and Shen Luoxi, and led them into Yuzhou.

Afterwards, the master who got the news led Shen Luoxi and Ye Jinyu to the guest room of the county government office. Along the way, the streets were filled with refugees fleeing from refugees, and they didn't look like they were from Yuzhou. After that, the master was busy After explaining some things, Xiao Si, the maid serving tea, was dismissed.

"Third prince." In the hall, looking at Ye Jinyu who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, the master said respectfully: "Please rest here for a while, please wait a moment, my lord will be there soon."

Ye Jinyu nodded, but did not speak.

When the master retreated, Shen Luoqi glanced at the tea on the table, and asked, "This magistrate of Yuzhou looks fat and big-eared, so he doesn't look like a good person."

Hearing this, Ye Jinyu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I didn't expect General Shen to judge people by their appearance?"

Shen Luoqi retorted, "It's human nature."

Just as he was speaking, outside the hall, the fat magistrate trotted all the way in with the support of his master, panting in.

"The next official, Wu Jinqi, sees His Highness the Third Prince." Before he could stand still, he knelt heavily on the ground.

Seeing that he couldn't get up for a long time, Ye Jinyu excused him and asked him to sit down and talk.

"Master Wu," Ye Jinyu asked, "Why do you collect those refugees' salutes? And you only pick the valuable ones?"

Hearing this, Wu Jinqi was taken aback for a moment, his face showing embarrassment, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "This... this... the lower official... the lower official is only for temporary custody, no, it's not..."

"Temporarily safekeeping?" Ye Jinyu's eyes froze, and her face darkened: "Are you really skilled? Only pick valuable ones for safekeeping?"

Wu Jinqi was hesitating and unable to speak. After a long time, he faltered and said: "I am afraid, I am afraid that the army will be chaotic, and everyone will lose their money."

Ye Jinyu sneered, and naturally saw the absurd reason at a glance, and he said again: "Then what about the things you kept for me? Can I let the king see it?"

"This... this, this, this..." Wu Jinqi was completely panicked at this moment, holding the handkerchief in his hand, he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and his buttocks were lowered even more like a needle felt.

"What? Master Wu didn't say anything?" Ye Jinyu's eyes narrowed, and without giving him any chance to argue, he said, "Tell me, where did you send the things you found?"

Wu Jinqi was sweating profusely, but he managed to pull out an ugly smile: "Third...Third Lord, look at what you said, how dare I, my subordinate, my subordinate..."

On the side, Shen Luoxi sneered, and said, "Give it to Wang Liang."

Wu Jinqi was taken aback for a moment, before thinking about it, he said in surprise: "You, how do you know?"

As soon as he said this, he realized that he had slipped his mouth and quickly covered it, but it was too late.Seeing the master seat, Ye Jinyu's face darkened, and he said, "Wu Jinqi, you are so courageous, colluding with the outer city to corrupt the law!"

Wu Jinqi couldn't sit still anymore, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "His Highness, please spare me! I know I was wrong."

Ye Jinyu and Shen Luoqi looked at each other, and Shen Luoqi said, "How often does Wang Liang come? Or, how often do you send things there?"

"Once, once a month." Wu Jinqi replied truthfully: "Every time he sends someone to pick it up, and we are only responsible for sending it to the suburbs."
