Return to the beginning of fleeing from famine, holding space to counterattack

Chapter 96 The lingering ghost
"All line up, one by one, and prepare the toll, otherwise even a mosquito will not be able to enter the city." The guard at the city gate yelled loudly.

"My lord, this is the toll for our family of three." A man said respectfully.

The guard took the man's purse, opened it to have a look, then nodded and said.

"Okay, bring your bags over for routine inspection."

"Yes Yes Yes."

The guard checked their baggage and only found some leftover dry food. He threw the messy baggage back to the man in disgust.

"Okay, get out!"

The man didn't get angry at all, he nodded and said, "Hey, thank you, sir!"

"Wait." Just as they were about to go in, the guard called them.

Then Jiang Nanqing saw the guard ripping off the man's clothes. The man hid a lot of things in his clothes. The guard sneered.

"Okay, you dare to hide things privately. I think you are the spies of the enemy country. Come and detain them for me."

"My lord, my lord, we are not spies, I will give you all these, please let us go!" the man begged bitterly.

But the guards were unmoved, and the man's family of three were directly dragged down with their mouths covered. The surrounding people were silent, and they were all frightened.

There were too many people queuing up to enter the city, Jiang Nanqing and the others were relatively behind in the queue, after waiting for a long time, they finally arrived.

Jiang Nanqing had already prepared the tolls for everyone entering the city in advance, and honestly handed them over to the guards.

The guard glanced at the grain that Jiang Nanqing and the others had handed over. There was a lot of white rice and flour in it. He nodded in satisfaction. These people were quite honest.

"Take everything out and check."

Wei Haixiu took the initiative to spread out the luggage for the guard to check. The guard didn't see anything good, frowned slightly, and asked Jiang Shidong who was lying on the cart.

"What's the matter with him?"

Jiang Nanqing stepped forward and said: "Master, my father is injured and can't walk, please forgive me."

The guard looked at Jiang Shidong, then waved his hand and said.

"go in!"

Jiang Nanqing breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly a voice came out.

"Guan Ye and the others must have hidden something."

Jiang Nanqing looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Wang Yongfeng. One of Wang Yongfeng's hands was severely bitten by Sanjin, so she tied her arm with a cloth strip and hung it in front of her chest.

Wei Haixiu said with an ugly face, "It really lingers."

Isn't it just lingering spirits? Jiang Nanqing gritted his teeth.

Wang Yongfeng walked up to the guard, raised his other uninjured hand and pointed at Jiang Nanqing and said.

"My lord, they must have hidden something."

"Oh?" The guard's eyes turned around Jiang Nanqing and the others.

Wei Haixiu smiled and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense, my lord, our luggage is here."

After finishing speaking, Wei Haixiu patted her body and jumped again, proving that there was nothing else hidden in her clothes.

Wang Yongfeng stared at Jiang Nanqing with hatred, then pointed to his injured hand and said to the guard.

"Look, officer, my hand was bitten by the animal they raised. If I'm not wrong, that animal is hiding there."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yongfeng pointed to Jiang Shidong confidently, and she continued.

"That animal is not small, and it can hurt people. You must investigate it strictly, officials, and you can't let it into the city, otherwise you don't know what troubles will happen."
