The two guards following Jiang Yunsheng immediately stopped the soldier.

The soldiers nearby saw this and immediately gathered around.

Some people who were afraid of being involved in this turmoil quickly accelerated their pace into the city.

"It's just a small amount of one thousand taels of silver. This gentleman's family has a big business, so I'll just hand it over."

The soldier said with a smile.

"I do have this thousand taels of silver, but I'm afraid your county magistrate won't be able to eat it!"

Jiang Yunsheng said with a fake smile.

"It's time for this master to worry about it. As long as you can hand it over, our county magistrate will naturally be able to eat it."

The soldier continued.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll pay the one thousand taels of silver."

I just hope that the county magistrate will not regret it when the time comes.

Eunuch Wang immediately took out a thousand taels of silver notes from his pocket.

Before he could take it, the soldier snatched it away without ceremony.

Seeing that Jiang Yunsheng was just frightened by them and "obediently" handed over the money, the soldier smiled contemptuously and thought he was some big shot. He gave in after being frightened. This kind of person is nothing to be afraid of.

He winked at a soldier behind him, and the soldier immediately understood what he meant.

After paying the entry fee, the soldiers removed the roadblock in the middle of the road and let Jiang Yunsheng and the others in.

Zhu Zhizhuan saw these soldiers looking at Jiang Yunsheng with contempt, and immediately shook his head. Based on his understanding of the county magistrate, in his eyes, a caravan like Jiang Yunsheng, who was a bit thorny but not strong enough, had to be beaten hard for the first time.

If it were an ordinary person, he might really be in trouble, but now, it is obvious that a certain county magistrate is in trouble.

He couldn't help but feel a bit like watching a good show.

[Hmph, this county magistrate is really too much. Even Capital City doesn't have this so-called city entry fee. He even does it for a small county town, which is very embarrassing! Wait and see how I, Imperial Father, deal with him!]

Jiang Nuan felt a little angry in his heart.

[Okay, okay, don't be so angry, let this county magistrate know what it means to kick the iron plate!]

Cen Xue comforted in his heart.

[That is, after I see him, I will eat his melons and find out all the evidence of his crimes!]

Guagua also comforted him.

After hearing what Cen Xue and Guagua said, Jiang Nuan was no longer so angry. They were right, the county magistrate would be offline soon, and there was no need for her to be angry because of him.

After entering the city, they settled in a separate courtyard. Coincidentally, Zhu Zhizhuan was right next door to them.

However, this coincidence seems to have some human factors in it.

While the guards were packing up and resting, Jiang Yunsheng went to Zhu Zhizhuan to ask some questions about the county magistrate.

Zhu Zhizhuan didn't dare to hide anything and revealed everything he knew.

Jiang Yunsheng got an important piece of news from it, that is, according to the usual practice, there will be a Hongmen Banquet tonight, and the county magistrate will specially invite the caravan leader who is still in Qingshui County to witness some of the threats he gives to the newcomers to intimidate them.

After hearing the news, Jiang Yunsheng smiled. He was still thinking about how to meet the county magistrate, but he didn't expect him to send him up like this.

Sure enough, when Jiang Yunsheng had almost finished asking and returned to the other courtyard, a man dressed simply but with a very arrogant attitude walked to the door of the other courtyard in a swagger.

"Hey, your surname is Jiang, right? Our master is holding a banquet tonight to welcome new caravans like you. Remember to arrive on time tonight."

Seeing Jiang Yunsheng in front of me, the man spoke a little impatiently.

After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Jiang Yunsheng understood or not, he turned around and left.

Jiang Yunsheng The smile on his lips grew wider and wider. This feeling was really novel. Ever since he became the emperor, the number of people who dared to treat him in this way was so high. No one has been so brave for a long time.

This Qingshui County magistrate is very good.

After learning that there was a Hongmen Banquet tonight, Jiang Nuan immediately became interested.

"Imperial Father, I want to see the difference between the dishes prepared by this Qingshui County magistrate and Capital City. Imperial Father Just take me with you to the banquet tonight!"

"You little girl, what are you, are you tired of eating Imperial Kitchen's food? Then next time we will recruit some chefs who are good at cooking local dishes to attack."

Although he knew that Jiang Nuan's true purpose was to eat melon, Jiang Yunsheng still followed her words.

"Then this would be perfect! So Imperial Father agreed to let me go?"

Jiang Nuan didn't expect there was an unexpected surprise, so he said with a smile.

"Of course, you can go if you want, and bring your little follower with you."

In the eyes of Jiang Yunsheng, Cen Xue is Jiang Nuan's little follower.

"Thank you Imperial Father/Your Majesty."

Jiang Nuan and Cen Xue thanked them immediately.

Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Nuan and Cen Xue simply took a nap in the room.

After it got slightly dark, Jiang Yunsheng took Jiang Nuan to County Magistrate's Residence.

Unexpectedly, at the gate of County Magistrate's Residence, they encountered what they had encountered at the gate of the city again, and were stopped by the gatekeeper of County Magistrate's Residence.

"Please show your invitation. If there is no invitation, you need to pay the admission fee of five thousand taels."

The boy said with a cold expression on his face.

Zhu Zhizhuan was surprised when he saw this. He remembered that this had not happened before!

But he soon understood that this was specifically for Jiang Yunsheng.

In this regard, he just wanted to say that there is really no way to stop someone who wants to die!

"Five thousand taels of silver? That much? No! At worst, we won't go in. We'll take our goods away now!"

Eunuch Wang said pretending to be angry.

The boy sneered.

"Oh, you want to take out the goods that have entered our Qingshui County, just dream!"

As the boy finished speaking, a guard walked up to Jiang Yunsheng.

"Emperor Qi... Master, a group of people who don't know who they are have surrounded our warehouse and want to take away the goods. Do we need to resist?"

Although the guard's words were soft, he was still heard by the servant.

I saw him raising his eyebrows proudly, looking like he was in control.

It must be said that the series of actions of this Qingshui County magistrate really gave Jiang Yunsheng a lot of experience.

"It's just five thousand taels of silver. Butler Wang, give it to him!"

Jiang Yunsheng said to Eunuch Wang.

After paying five thousand taels of silver, Jiang Yunsheng had no choice but to enter.

As soon as they entered, the boy took them to a very remote place.

"Here, this is your position. Just stay in this position and sit down."

The boy warned Jiang Yunsheng before leaving.

This movement attracted many people to look here.

After one of them saw Jiang Yunsheng's face, his legs softened and he slipped directly from the chair and knelt directly on the ground.
