Chapter 1617 Chapter 1617 Passing Money
The shopkeeper didn't expect that several people would react so much, and this girl, you speak so smoothly about the underworld, people who don't know really think you know about the underworld.

"Guys, we can't help it. It's not us who want to collect it, it's the county magistrate who wants to collect it. We will all be handed over to the arresters when the time comes. If any of you don't receive it, they will put you all in jail. of."

Yuyao became interested. The toll money was issued by the county magistrate. She didn't know when the county magistrate had such great power and dared to collect toll money from the people privately!
"Shopkeeper, please tell me what's going on? And how long have you been collecting toll money? Why is the county magistrate collecting toll money?"

This road was built by the imperial court. Even if there is a toll to be collected, it should be collected by the imperial court. When will it be his turn as a small county magistrate!
The front foot promised his grandpa that if he encountered something on the road and could help, he would help solve it. Unexpectedly, the back foot met him.

The shopkeeper sighed to him, "It's better not to ask too much about this matter, otherwise you'll easily get angry. I'd also advise you to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Shopkeeper, if you don't tell us today that we won't pay the toll, you'll wait until those yamen arresters come to us tomorrow."

"You...why didn't you listen to my advice?"

This is the first time the shopkeeper has seen such a stubborn customer.

"Shopkeeper, just tell me quickly. I want to know who the magistrate is, and no one is taking care of this matter!"

Tingshang looked like she was not afraid of trouble, and even found a place to sit down.

"Come on, shopkeeper, sit down and let's talk slowly."

"Since you want to know so much, I will tell you, but remember not to talk nonsense, and teach you about the passing money after listening."

The shopkeeper doesn't want to cause trouble for his inn, so since they want to listen, he can tell them. As long as they leave his inn early tomorrow morning, it has nothing to do with him.

"We have been collecting tolls for a year. We started collecting tolls a year ago. They said that this road was built by the imperial court. We ordinary people have to pay tolls when passing here. If you don't teach us, you will not be allowed to pass, and you will be arrested. Go to jail. At the beginning, some people made a fuss, and even said they would go to the capital to ask if they had the money, but in the end there was no trace of him, and the police arrested many people, so no one dared to talk anymore. "

Yuyao frowned, this county magistrate is quite courageous!
Although he dared to arrest people at will, he still arrested innocent people. The passing money was simply nonsense. When had the imperial court ever issued such a ridiculous order?

"The imperial court doesn't charge any tolls at all, so why don't any of you go better than the prefect?"

The shopkeeper then sighed and said: "It's useless, because someone went to the prefect, and the prefect said he wanted to collect tolls, so some people said they were going to the capital, but they disappeared."

Tingshang slapped the table, it was clear that they were colluding!
Yuyao winked at Qinglian and asked him to hand over the silver.

"Thank you all for your cooperation."

The shopkeeper paid the money and went to register.

"What should we do about Yaoyao? Go to the Yamen to find the county magistrate or go directly to the magistrate?!"

Yuyao turned around and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know the situation in the surrounding counties around you? Do they also collect this so-called toll?"

The shopkeeper put down his pen and said, "Okay, it's the same in several counties around us."
