Fruit fairy

Chapter 109
Three days later in the early morning, on a low hill, Li Can stood on the crown of a tall tree and looked up.

At this time, the golden sun was just rising, and a huge city stood under the red sky. Under the tall black city wall, there were silhouettes of people, dark-skinned peasants, woodcutters who went out to chop firewood, caravans who went out of the city, and carts entering. Farmers selling vegetables and fruits in the city, hunters returning from hunting
Intertwined with each other, people come and go, but it is a busy and prosperous scene.

There was a sparse grove outside the city. Seeing that the gate of the city had been opened, a group of traveling merchants devoured their food, extinguished the firewood and drove the green-haired beast cart towards the city.

At this time, Li Can had already floated under the tree, and changed into a new outfit. He was dressed very ordinaryly, and even the boots on his feet looked quite old. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the pair of low-level boots that can increase the running speed. The magic weapon 'God's Walking Boots' is walking towards the city behind the caravan not far or near at this time.

And his face also gives people a very ordinary feeling, the kind that can be forgotten after a few glances, this kind of effect comes from the human skin mask of the former patriarch Li Kan, and this mask and God walking boots and night walking clothes are both low-level instruments with special effects.

Half an hour later, Li Can came to the city gate, and saw a team of guards lined up on both sides of the city gate, and a strong and sturdy middle-aged man with a square black face was checking something at the end of the team, looking meticulous.

And beside him was the leader of the caravan, a thin middle-aged man who was as thin as a hemp stalk, and was whispering something submissively at this moment.

Although there is still some distance, Li Can has clear eyes and ears as a monk, so he can hear clearly with a little magic power at this time. He only heard the caravan leader whisper:
"Brother Li, please make it easier for me. How about meeting at the old place at noon today?"

The city gate guard looked resentful, and snorted coldly: "The caravans in your Baoshan City are the most dishonest. They lied about the quantity of goods many times, and omissions and concealment also happened from time to time. This has broken down several times. Rules?"

"Although the patriarch is young and a girl, she has all-knowing hands and eyes. She has severely reprimanded me a few days ago, and if she dared to be selfish, she would drive me out of this city to fend for myself. How dare I bend the law for selfishness?"

The caravan leader frowned when he heard this, and after a moment of contemplation, he could only take out a small black bag and said in a low voice:
"There are two taels of gold here. With your salary, you can earn enough for three months."

The leader of the city gate did not reach out to pick it up, but shook his head and said:
"I just learned a few days ago that if the caravans of our Lijiabao enter your Baoshan City, they will have to pay two taels of gold. Moreover, the caravans of dozens of families in the vicinity are like this. Every time they enter a city In terms of trading, the minimum is two taels of gold to start."

"Only your caravan in Baoshan City is the most hypocritical. You always think that you can feed me by eating, drinking, and visiting a brothel? Ah, bah, you are also deceived by lard, and you take the money of filial piety as a host, and you want me to receive it. Your love? Tell me, how much gold have you coveted from me?"

The leader of the caravan blushed immediately, his eyes dodged and faltered.

"Don't say yes, hmph, bullying me as a new official who doesn't understand the way? Let me tell you that I did it on purpose, just to test whether you have me in your eyes."

"Since you are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous. Now I will calculate for you. I have been in office for three months, and you go back and forth once every ten days. That is to say, you have entered the city nine times in these three months. Two taels of gold is 18 taels, and then there is a double penalty, um, that is 36 gold."

When the caravan leader heard this, his entire face was almost wrinkled into a dough, and his crying appearance was very funny. He quickly nodded and bowed to accompany him, and took out a bigger bag and stuffed it into his hand.

"Brother Li, please hold your hands high. The twenty gold here is all my private money that I saved with great difficulty. If you don't believe me, you will kill me and it will be gone."

"Damn it, don't you still have two taels in this hand?"

The leader of the city gate pointed to his left hand. The small black bag containing two taels of gold was tightly held by the leader of the caravan.

"Oh, look at my memory."

The caravan leader quickly handed it over, but he cursed in his heart:
"When the elders arrive in a few days, your entire clan will be wiped out. You will keep the gold for a few days, and then you will return it doubled. Not only that, but I will also take off your dog's head. Only by entering your crotch can the hatred in my heart be relieved."

The leader of the city gate took it in his hand and sneered, "You must hate me to the core, but I would like to remind you, don't try to gossip in the city. If I find out, you will be miserable. Don't even think about coming to Li again in the future." The Jiabao Traveling Merchant traded."

"Understood, Tian has to rely on his brother for food, how dare he gossip?" The caravan leader hurriedly swore to the sky.

There is a saying that 'gold and silver are the most worry-free in the world', looking at the face of gold, the two of them immediately calmed down a lot, and their conversation became casual.

I only heard the leader of the merchants joke and said: "It is said in the world that silver is more tough than gold, and gold is more courageous than hair. I have gold in my hands. It's okay for Brother Li to be reprimanded by the patriarch. If it doesn't work, just leave here. Where is he not a rich man?"

The leader of the city gate surnamed Li laughed and said:

"It's okay to be reprimanded by her for being greedy for a little money. As long as I don't kill my relatives and traitors, she can't do anything to me. Let me tell you the truth. If the patriarch throws away her monk status, she will also call uncle in front of me." Yes, do you understand this kind of relationship?"

"Understood, understood, how can people from the family not understand these things, by the way, brother Li, it's getting late, should we enter the city?"

"Okay, I'll issue a document for you when I get to the city gate. Hey, I remember that your caravan usually only has about 40 people. How come there are more than [-] people this time?"

"Oh, the clan is planning to open another business route, so there will be some new faces in the caravan, and they all came out to practice."

The leader of the city gate did not doubt that he was there, nodded and put two bags, one big and one small, into his arms.

Hearing this, Li Can was not very interested. The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the world is all for profit. The worldly people are greedy for power and profit, nothing more than that.

However, because the caravan came from Baoshan City, Li Can took a few extra glances when he walked up to him. As a result, he happened to see the leader of the city gate put the bag in his arms and looked around.

In the end, it was no coincidence that Li Can looked at each other, and his expression changed instantly. After stuffing the bag into his arms, he pointed at Li Can and said:

"You, come here for an inspection."

Li Can stopped and looked over, and said in a deep voice, "I'm neither a merchant nor a peddler or a hunter. I just pass by here to see and see. Is there anything I need to check?"

It seems that I have bumped into his good deed, and this person will deliberately make things difficult.

Sure enough, the leader of the city gate sneered and said: "Everyone who comes to this city is to make money and have something to do, but you have to go around and see and see."

"That's why I suspect that you are a spy sent by another family to hide evil intentions. If you don't dare to let me check, get out immediately, get out where you came from, or don't blame me for being rude."

Instead of being angry, Li Can smiled, walked over immediately, and said with a smile, "Okay, I want to see how rude you are."

"Ok?"

The leader of the city gate looked at him carefully, seeing that his appearance, clothes were quite ordinary, and he was wearing a pair of old boots, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes and said:

"How dare you contradict me? It seems that you are looking for death."

After speaking, he flicked his wrist, and a cold snake-shaped short blade appeared in his palm. Smoke and dust rose from his feet, and a tall figure flew towards him like a running lion.
