Chapter 17 A Divorce Letter

The Jiang family soon discovered something strange behind them.

Several men were holding sticks, with a fearless look on their faces, staring at the men who were coming with knives, with bloodthirsty eyes.

Even if they die, they must protect the women and children behind them!

The group of ferocious people were closing in step by step, and were about to reach the Jiang family.

Unexpectedly.

"Click"

A heavy wooden door slammed.

The city gate behind the Jiang family was slowly opened.

A group of armored soldiers poured out of the city.

The moment the wooden door sounded, the ferocious-looking group of people quickly ran into the crowd and hid.

When the soldiers came out, they were a little dazed for a moment when they saw that there were few people in front of the door.

Then he smelled the smell of blood in the air and heard suppressed crying, and he became alert instantly.

A soldier passed by the Jiang family and vomited after seeing the scene in front of him.

Then a few more soldiers who didn't believe in it came and vomited after seeing what they saw.

The soldiers walked into the city with weak steps and reported what was happening outside.

The result was as expected.

No one investigated the matter at all. Instead, refugees were assigned to bury the bodies on the spot.

After the official spoke, some of the deceased's relatives began to cry loudly.

After all this was sorted out, the city gate was opened again.

This time it only took half an hour to enter the city.

The Jiang family was the first in line. As soon as the city gate opened, the Jiang family members walked forward dragging carts.

There was a team of soldiers standing on each side of the city gate, led by a man about thirty years old.

He exuded a murderous aura, and with a glance of his cold eyes, he sized up the person in front of him.

After looking at the allowance handed over by the Jiang family, he still asked a question.

"Going to the capital? What are you going to do in the capital?"

"Your Excellency, we are going to the capital to look for our relatives!" Old Mrs. Jiang replied quickly.

After the official carefully examined them and confirmed that there was no problem, he said again: "Okay, your family is large, and you can enter the customs with ten taels of silver."

Twelve?

As soon as the price was announced, the entire Jiang family trembled a little.

The information I heard two days ago was that the amount was only two taels of silver, and the maximum amount for a group of people was only five taels!
How has it changed?

Before Mrs. Jiang could make her decision, Mrs. Xu, who was standing behind her, couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't this just robbing money?"

Jiang Laosan, who was close by, wanted to cover Xu's mouth, but he was still a step too slow.

These words happened to be heard by the official standing in front.

The other party's face darkened instantly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, "If you don't want to pass, then get out! Don't delay others from passing!"

As soon as the words fell, someone echoed.

"That's right. If you don't want to cross, get out of here and don't delay our entry!"

"Go, go! You want to enter without money? Who knows what you want to do!"

"Hurry up, don't delay us!"

Impatient voices rose one after another.

Old Mrs. Jiang's face turned pale instantly. She glared at Xu with a gloomy face, then put on a flattering smile and hurriedly took out ten taels of silver and handed them to the official.

"Sir, let's enter the country! Let's enter the country! Here's the money."

As Mrs. Jiang spoke, she handed over the money.

Unexpectedly, the official did not take it, and did not even look at him.

"It's too late, now you need fifteen taels of silver!" He added another five taels!
This time, the entire Jiang family turned pale and glared at Xu fiercely.

If Xu hadn't been so mean, this wouldn't have happened!
Jiang Laosan was afraid that Xu would say something unpleasant again, so he kept covering Xu's mouth with his hand.

Perhaps it was because Xu noticed the unfriendly looks from the Jiang family that she was able to stay quiet for a while.

Old Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to take out another five taels of silver and bow and nod to the official just to be able to enter the customs.

Fortunately, this time the official glanced at Old Lady Jiang, then signaled the soldiers behind him to take the silver and money, and handed the Jiang family a pass to enter the country.

After receiving the notice, the Jiang family did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried into the city.

Jiang Yunjin felt uncomfortable because of the suffocation. When Mrs. Jiang's attention was not on her, she showed her fair and tender face and took a breath of fresh air.

His dark eyes darted around and happened to meet the official's gaze.

In an instant, she showed her white little teeth and smiled kindly at the official.

Fortunately, it was just a matter of money.

The official inadvertently looked up and met the gaze of a fair and tender little girl. Just as he was about to look away, he suddenly saw the little girl's smile blooming.

Soft and cute.

There's also a hint of familiarity.

Before the official could take a closer look, the little dumpling walked away with his family.

He shook his head, feeling that it was a bit ridiculous.

How could it be that house...

When the Jiang family entered the city, they found it was not as big as they had imagined.

It is at most a small town, with every corner occupied by refugees.

After entering the city, some refugees stopped fleeing and instead became beggars.

When the Jiang family saw this scene, they didn't dare to stay for a moment.

At present, there are many refugees pouring in, but very few leaving.

One day, this place will become unsafe.

After leaving the small town, the Jiang family found a secluded place to rest.

Boss Jiang took Boss Jiang carefully back to the town, planning to buy some food.

As soon as the person left, Old Lady Jiang's face instantly darkened. Her cloudy eyes were filled with frost, and the look she gave Xu was extremely cold.

"Ms. Xu, kneel down!" Old Mrs. Jiang said sternly.

"Plop" sound.

Xu knelt hurriedly, her face pale, and she acted pitifully in front of Old Lady Jiang.

"Mom, I didn't mean to be nosy! It's obvious that they are trying to extort money!"

While crying, Xu crawled to Old Lady Jiang on her knees, hugged her thighs and started crying.

In the end, she didn't realize she was wrong at all.

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, her anger grew even stronger.

He stood up suddenly and kicked Xu in the chest without showing any mercy and started scolding her in front of the junior.

"You, Xu, are really amazing. You even dare to scold the official? Even if they are extorting money, you have to give them the money obediently! If you hadn't been so talkative today, we wouldn't have spent so much extra money!

I'm telling you, Xu! The extra money will be paid by your three wives. It was originally ten taels of silver, and each wife paid two taels of silver. The extra five taels of silver will be paid by the three wives. You will be given seven taels of silver later. Not a penny less!"

Old Mrs. Jiang was furious. If Xu hadn't been so nosy, she wouldn't have spent the extra five taels of silver.

Fortunately, they asked for some extra money. If the other party had clearly not let them in, what would their family do?

When she thought of this, Mrs. Jiang looked at Xu with a cold look in her eyes.

He also regretted letting Xu come into the family.

She looked up at the blue sky, lowered her eyes to hide the frost in her eyes, and when she looked at Xu again, her eyes became indifferent, as if she was looking at a stranger.

"The worst thing I have done in my life is to insist on welcoming you into the family. It's my fault! A virtuous wife brings prosperity to three generations, but you are such a jinx that you almost ruined the entire Jiang family today! The Jiang family can't keep you anymore.

Third brother, give her a letter of divorce and let her fend for herself."
