Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 654 Chapter 650 Three: Pingling
Pingling County is a county seat about the size of Dongling County, and it is quite prosperous.

When Song Qiu and his party arrived at the gate of the city, it was dawn and the gate had just opened. People carrying baskets on their backs, many villagers, etc., lined up to enter the city one by one.

Nowadays, people who enter the city are required to collect a city tax. Like their Dongling County, a single person receives one penny, two for pushing carts, three for ox carts and mule carts, and five for horse-drawn carts.

The county towns I passed before are similar.

But this Pingling County is quite different.

Song Qiu was in the leading carriage, and could clearly hear the villagers whispering in front of the row, saying that the magistrate of Pingling County would consolidate the city wall, build roads, and dams, in short, all kinds of things. For such a project, the city entry tax has risen and risen again, so I have never been idle.

When it was their turn, a carriage and two mule carts received 22 cash.

If they don't have a car, they will have to pay 24 Wen in this line of work.

Although two words were missing, Song Qiu was not comforted, okay?

The city entry tax in Pingling County has increased a lot, which is really a huge profit.

Looking at the long queue, how many people enter the city every day, and how many copper coins are charged.

I don't know if it's using the tiger's skin as a banner, or if it's really for the sake of improving the people's livelihood in the county.

Entering the city, there is a bustling morning market, steamed buns, wonton noodles, steaming everywhere.

There are all kinds of stalls, and people are dazzled to see. They want to eat everything, but they don't know what to eat.

It was a lively time, people were so crowded that it was difficult for cars to pass through, so we had to leave the carts and horses at the base of the city wall, and pass through after breakfast and the flow of people lessened.

A group of people walked on their legs, looked at a row of stalls, and finally found a small noodle stall at the corner with a few empty tables.

One bowl of simmered noodles per person, the tenderest cabbage seedlings in autumn are added to the noodles, and chopped green onion is added, the emerald green color is matched with white, it is very appetizing to look at.

Song and Qiu all ate one tael, and Ah Ling, like Yang Dalian and the others, ate two taels.

After eating a bowl of noodles and soup, my stomach feels warm and comfortable.

"Boss, pay the bill." Song Qiu waved.

The noodle boss came over with a smile on his face, and said, "Thanks for your patronage, four bowls of one tael of saozi noodles and eight bowls of two taels of saozi noodles cost 110 Erwen in total."

Ok?
Song Qiu suspected that he had heard it wrong, "How much did you say?"

The noodle boss kept his smile on his face, "One or two noodles cost eight cents per bowl, and two or two noodles cost ten cents per bowl, so the total is 110 two cents."

Even if the entry tax here is more expensive than other places, even the food is more expensive than other places?
"How much is a bowl of plain noodles?" Song Qiu was curious.

Seeing the girl asking and asking, the noodle boss also saw that this line of business must have just arrived from other places, so he was not annoyed, and explained: "Plain noodles cost five cents a bowl, girl, if you don't believe me, go ask, this one For stalls, the things they sell are all expensive. There is no way to do that. In the past, when the stall fee was still ten yuan, we didn’t sell it so expensively. Now the stall fee has risen to twenty yuan. Well, there is no way."

"Let's not talk about us here. In the market, there are small stalls selling eggs and so on. The stall fee has risen to eight cents! A sale of eggs didn't make any money, so it was posted. So, now look at that In the market, there are no ones who only sell eggs."

This is really true.

Song Qiu was silent for a while, but didn't say much, and paid the bill with copper coins.

When I turned the corner and came back, I went to a stall selling steamed buns to ask the price. Good guy, big meat buns are sold here for five cents for three cents, and even steamed buns are sold for two cents each.

The prices in Pingling County are really ridiculously expensive.

I don't know if it's just for a while, or if it's like this all the year round, if it's like this all the year round, wouldn't it be killing the common people.

The magistrate of Pingling County, tsk tsk.

Song Qiu originally thought it would be a good place to have a place during the sleepover yesterday, but now he shook his head and denied it.

She thought about the trafficker who was brought into the city by the Yatou, she was silent, and she was not in a hurry to leave the city, and asked Ah Ling to go to the county government to inquire about the situation first.

They drove the car slowly through the crowd and went to the south gate to wait for her.

There are many people in the morning, the road is not good, so I walked slowly, and finally passed the morning market, and the road became looser.

It was nearly half an hour when we arrived at the South City Gate.

At the tea stall at the gate of the city, after waiting for a long time, Ah Ling caught up angrily.

"The county magistrate with fat ears is still sleeping in the concubine's bed! It was the master of the county government who was questioning the case in the front hall. He heard from the head of the government that he was a few traffickers who abducted and trafficked women, so he immediately sent people to prison. Locked up, I looked at the master in the dark and seemed to know those little thieves."

"Indeed, the couple who lost their daughter also rushed to the county government office, and wanted to ask the county government office to help find someone. I saw that the master was very impatient, and sent the government officials to the county brothel to inquire about it in front of people. But the person sent him away, and the yamen servant didn't go to the brothel, probably he was perfunctory, and then the master went to the back, those little thieves were not taken to the cell, they just waited behind, saw the master, took the lead The thief boss took a silver ticket from his body and gave it to the master, and then the master let them go through the back door."

"I'm so angry! I couldn't hold back, followed, took people to a place where no one was around, beat them hard, and crippled their hands!"

If sister Aqiu hadn't told her not to kill people indiscriminately, she couldn't help but kill all these scumbags!
As soon as Song Qiu heard it, he knew that the county magistrate of Pingling County was not a fun thing. He really worked for the well-being of the people. Who was so early in the morning and was still in the concubine's bed.

He is also fat and big-eared, and he sounds like the wine bag and rice bag of the fish and meat people.

The master is not a good thing either, the whole yamen is rotten, the bad guys let go as soon as they say, and they can just bribe money, what is this?
The yamen, which recognizes money like this, has handled many unjust, false and wrong cases, and how many ordinary people have nowhere to ask for help.

It wasn't just Song Qiu, but Lihua was also very angry when she heard it.

"Then let's forget it? It's just a waste of hands, and it's cheaper for them!"

A Ling rubbed secretly to test Song Qiu, wiped his neck and said, "I'll go back and get them..."

In that way, it seemed that as long as Song Qiu nodded, she immediately practiced lightness kung fu and turned back.

Song Qiu shook his head, "No, what about ten people, all of them were killed, where should the corpses be hidden?"

They still have to go on their way. They are businessmen, so they can still hide?
But I can't do the thing of going all the way to fight for justice and eliminate harm for the people.

Ah Ling muttered softly, "I'll take the shot and kill him with a single blow. I'm sure those wine bags and rice bags won't be found."

"Like the headhunters in Naye Town?"

Seeing that Ah Ling really nodded, Song Qiu also shook his head and laughed.

"There are so many bad people in this world. We can kill one by one, but we can't kill them. However, the county government in Pingling County is really rotten to the root. Since we know it, we can't ignore it. The seal of the son is still in me. Here, wait for me to write a letter, tell me about the things in Pingling County, and then stamp the seal of the son, and hire someone to send it to the government office."

"If the magistrate reads the letter, it would be best if he can take care of this Pingling County. If he ignores it, then there is nothing he can do."

She can't just invite the prince here to solve the problem, can she?It's not that big yet.

In addition, the son is not idle, he can take care of everything.

In this world, there are many corrupt county magistrates, and they just happened to come across this place and tried their best. The result is beyond their control.
