Chapter 147
Although Tang Mingyi saw the actions of the city gate official and that person, he still felt that something was wrong.

Before he came to Tongcheng, he knew the deeds of the prefect Liu Zhu, and he felt that he was a talent that had been buried before.Then Liu Zhu used his aunt's name to rescue Li Xun first, and actually helped him secretly.

The purpose of this eunuch is unknown for the time being, but it is always difficult to have such a coincidence in the world.Ben also thought that if this person had the heart, he could gather and become his own help.

But today he was about to enter the city and encountered such a thing, although it was reasonable to push it back and forth, but he had some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

In fact, all these things are ultimately because he thinks that the state of Chu should have some courtiers who are dedicated to their duties.

That person came to stop him, maybe he wanted to tell him some actual reasons.

Thinking of this, Tang Mingyi restrained his temper and asked, "What else is there?"

"The number is not right." The man frowned.

"Isn't it 50 taels per person?" One of the attendants was annoyed by him and asked aloud.

"Don't worry, everyone. The city gate officials in Tongcheng are quite strict. It's convenient for us to manage before entering the city. 50 taels per person is naturally enough." The money was deducted at the gate of the city, and it will be far from easy to manage it again."

Hearing what he said, Tang Mingyi felt a little disappointed, and felt that what he had just thought was a bit ridiculous, so he didn't bother to entangle him anymore, so he said: "Then what is the price now?"

"100 taels per person." The man asked a sky-high price.

Now in Tongcheng, 100 taels is almost equivalent to a year's salary of a city gate official, but he has a big mouth, but he doesn't care.

"Are you crazy?" The attendant finally couldn't bear it and scolded.

"The thing has already been done, it's this price, I can't let me advance the money, or lose the credibility of the higher-ups, right?" The man was certain that these people must pay, and put the 150 taels just now in his arms. I put it in the middle, and stretched out my hand again, to pick up another 150 taels.

"You..." The entourage was furious, wishing he could take out his dagger and poke a few holes for him.

Tang Mingyi was much calmer, and only said "give it to him".

Seeing that His Royal Highness had already spoken, the attendant couldn't argue anymore, so he took out his money bag and poured it all into his hands: "That's all, there is nothing more."

The man still weighed it with a small scale, said "it's just right", and then added: "If you are short of cash and there are shortages of manpower in several places in the city, you can go find an errand, and then you can settle in Tongcheng. Steady."

But Tang Mingyi asked: "If we can't find an errand, can you do it?"

The man glanced at him several times: "I see that you are handsome, and you won't be able to find a job. There is a shortage of people like you in the city right now."

"What do you mean?" Tang Mingyi asked again.

The man just said, "You can find out when you go around the city."

Tang Mingyi saw that he couldn't find anything to ask, so he ignored him, and the man said again, "If you really can't find a place to go, you can go to the Wang family."

Seeing that the Second Highness didn't talk to him anymore, the entourage scolded "Get out", the man didn't care, and he bowed in a mean way, without further pestering, he turned around and left.

"Your Highness, we just brought 300 taels of silver and gave it all to him!" Seeing that there was no one else around, the attendant said angrily.

"It's such a popular atmosphere in Tong County." Tang Mingyi also sighed deeply.

The entourage knew what the Second Highness was worried about, so he had no choice but to persuade him: "Your Highness has already decided the overall situation, and a small Tong County can naturally be cleaned up."

Tang Mingyi sighed again: "My big Chu is not just this Tongcheng City, if this place is like this, I am afraid that it is like this everywhere outside Lianzhou."

The two attendants didn't know where to start to persuade them, they just repeatedly said things like "to establish the world for the people of Great Chu" and "to reassure the people for the foundation of the imperial court".

The three of them said a few words of gratitude together, and that's the end of the matter.

Tang Mingyi did not completely lose hope. There were 12 of them in total. Except that he personally led two people to the west gate, the rest were divided into three teams and entered the city at the same time from three places in the southeast and north. Withhold it, and "accidentally" reveal the whereabouts of the rest of the people, and the matter is still the same.

But it will take some time, the three of them have no other place to go for the time being, they just heard that the city gatekeeper said that they can go to Nanshi to sell weapons, which must be the busiest place in the city, so they decided to go and have a look first.

Before doing serious things, it's better to find out how many things of selfishness and perverting the law are in Tongcheng.

However, when they arrived at Nanshi, they found that the three people who entered the city through the Nancheng gate were already waiting for them here.

After a question, I found out that the experience of these three people is basically the same, the only difference is that Tang Mingyi's entourage actually hid some copper coins next to him, and the three of them didn't even make up 300 taels. After fighting for more than 250 taels, the opponent gave me a blank stare.

But he also encountered the same situation, naturally Tang Mingyi would not blame anything, and the six of them went to investigate together in Nanshi first.

In Nanshi, the fruit cakes are always hot from morning to night, and they attract customers with the overflowing aroma, and there are quite a bit of fighting between shops.

It's nothing in the past, but now, Tang Mingyi and the others are hungry, and the smell is even more unbearable, but the total of the six people only have fourteen or fifteen yuan, but the cheapest cake costs three yuan a piece.Tang Mingyi knew that the guards would definitely take care of him to eat and drink, so he simply refrained from mentioning it.

The group of people endured it, and saw nothing new, but first saw the six people who were going to enter the city from the east and north gates, and just like them, came from the other side.

Only then did Tang Mingyi know that the guards at the four gates of Tongcheng were all rotten to the root.

However, when the two groups meet, they have a hope in each other's hearts without mentioning anything else.

The 12 people got together and calculated carefully, and came to a rather embarrassing result.

The 12 Wen coins originally shared by six people are now shared by [-] people.

Leaving aside eating and drinking at this time, staying later would be a problem.

Tang Mingyi never imagined that he, a dignified prince of Chu, would be trapped by money in his own country.

However, before entering the city, in order to disguise his identity, he deliberately did not bring any valuables.The only thing that can be exchanged for money is the boots and daggers on their respective bodies.

So there was no other way, so he had to find a place like a pawn shop and blacksmith's shop, and exchange the dagger on his body for some money.

After making up his mind, he hurried to the depths of Nanshi, and arrived at the intersection with the "Raspberries Difficult to Shine" in a short time.
