MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 84 Feng Shui turns
Chapter 84 Things are changing
"Four hundred taels, you only have one chance!" Captain Sun squinted at Zhang Yiquan. This was no longer a question of whether to buy it or not, but that he had to buy it.
Zhang Yiquan also understands this truth, but his resentment towards the carriage is too deep. These days, his legs are almost useless.
Especially since he not only had to walk in shackles, he also had to carry his son on his back. How fat was his son?
That’s almost as good as half a pig!
And if you walk too slowly, you will be whipped!
This life is simply unbearable.
He has already lost more than ten kilograms. If he continues like this, he may really die on the way.
So, even if he knew that Captain Sun would charge a high price, he had to grit his teeth and buy it.
But he has been in the officialdom for so long and has taken advantage of everyone. He naturally knows how to deal with greedy people.
"This...Captain Sun, to tell you the truth, originally I still had so much money, but...on the way...everyone else took care of it and lost it..."
He said it very tactfully, but Captain Sun could quickly tell that it was clearly extortion by his men regardless of what the plan was.
He naturally believed Zhang Yiquan's words. After all, it was already a common practice for government officials to extort prisoners.
As long as he joins the exile team, which prisoner will not have all his money squeezed out?
If there is no oil and water, what will they do in the exile team? Will they endure hardship?
That is something that only that fool Xu Tian would do!
The men who have been extorted by their men must hand over a part of the money. If anyone does not hand over, then don't want to mix it in the team.
So, Captain Sun just needs to sit back and wait to collect the money.
But in the past few days in the county town, he spent most of it lavishly. Now that he planned to escape, he naturally had to collect more.
Who would have thought that his men would be so agile and drain all the money from these people so quickly?
However, he was still unwilling to give in, "Really? If you can't come up with the money, then get out!"
"Captain Sun..." Zhang Yiquan shouted quickly, "I only have two hundred taels in my body now, I don't know..."
Two hundred taels?
Captain Sun’s eyes lit up, two hundred taels is not bad. With his salary, it takes decades to earn two hundred taels.
If he didn't live a life of debauchery, two hundred taels of silver would be enough for him to live comfortably. Like those common people, they may not be able to earn two hundred taels in their lifetime.
“Corrupt officials are still rich!”
Captain Sun couldn't help but feel happy, which was why he came to exile the team.
Basically only those officials and aristocratic children were exiled, and these were the richest people.
They usually don’t take money seriously at all, so even if they are short of money when they are in exile, they will still be willing to spend money for something.
"Okay!" Captain Sun nodded, "Pay the money, and the carriage is yours."
Zhang Yiquan was waiting for this sentence. He quickly took off his shoes and took out two banknotes from the soles of his shoes.
Captain Sun frowned and felt a little disgusted, but after all, it was two hundred taels. Even if it fell into the hut, he would jump down and pick it up, let alone...
So, he held his nose with one hand and took it with the other hand. After confirming that it was correct, he waved to him.
Zhang Yiquan was so excited that he climbed onto the carriage with both hands and feet and opened the curtain, only to find that there was nothing inside, not even a stool.
But he didn't care. He lay in the carriage and looked at the roof. He could vaguely smell the incense and food-like smell in the carriage.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, startling the government servant who was about to leave.
"Neuropathy!"
The yamen servant ignored him and drove the prisoner on his way.
“Hahaha, Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, you too are today, aren’t you very arrogant? Aren’t you going to sell it to me? Now the carriage belongs to me!”
Zhang Yiquan was lying in the carriage, laughing loudly, and then talking to himself like crazy.
In a moment, he picked up his wife, daughter and mother.
“Did you get a carriage like this?” When Zhang saw the carriage, his eyes lit up and he climbed up using both hands and feet.
Zhang Yiquan ignored him, sat beside the carriage, grabbed the reins and swung it, and coaxed to the prisoner in front, "Get out of the way, don't block the road!"
“Lulu!”
The horse suddenly felt pain, raised its feet, roared to the sky, and started running. Zhang Yiquan, who was sitting next to the carriage, was thrown off by this violent movement and was almost run over by the carriage.
Fortunately, he dodged in time, but the injury on his arm worsened when he fell.
“Wait for me, I, I haven’t gotten in the car yet?”
Ignoring the pain, he quickly got up and ran after the carriage.
The prisoners saw the carriage approaching and hurriedly ran away for fear of being hit by the carriage. However, the yamen officials looked at the messy team frightened by the carriage and suddenly became angry.
.
They pulled out their swords and swung them at the oncoming carriage. The horses seemed to know the power of the weapons, and they stopped immediately and stopped charging forward.
Zhang Yiquan ran over panting and quickly climbed onto the carriage, fearing that the carriage would leave him behind again.
But the Yamen servant ran over and scolded him, "Lock up your horse, otherwise..."
snort!
The yamen officer snorted coldly, sheathed the knife, and made a clanging sound, which made Zhang Yiquan tremble.
“No way, no way!”
Even if he was beaten to death, he would not dare to throw the reins again. After all, he now knew that he could not drive a carriage.
He could only gently touch the horse's buttocks to make it move faster, but the horse stopped moving. It even turned its head and glared at him, and breathed at him through its nose.
"Hahaha!"
Beside, the servants of the Chen family couldn't help laughing when they saw this.
Zhang Yiquan was a little angry when he heard the laughter, "Why are you laughing..."
As soon as he cursed, he realized that the Chen family was next to him, and he burst out laughing, "Hahaha, Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan, are you very angry and depressed now..."
“Look what this is? Your carriage belongs to me now!”
“How is it? It doesn’t feel good to walk!”
"you…"
When everyone in the Chen family heard what he said, they became very angry.
After all, this picture of a villain's triumphant face makes people very angry.
Zhang Yiquan became even more happy and proud when he saw this.
"How about you beg me? Kneel down and beg me. Maybe I will return the carriage to you..."
"Snapped!"
“You’re crazy!”
Before Zhang Yiquan finished speaking, he received a slap on the arm. It turned out that Mrs. Zhang became angry when she heard that he wanted to return the carriage to them.
Facing his furious wife, Zhang Yiquan quickly smiled and said, "I'm just saying, even if they really kneel down to beg me, do you think I will really give it back to them?"
“That’s pretty much it!”
Mrs. Zhang nodded, then looked at the Chen family, "Hey, isn't this the superior Mr. Chen? Aren't you very connected? Ask them to buy you another car!"
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, how did I hear that you were kicked off the carriage by the government officials? Is it because you didn’t pay enough? Or is it that you, Mr. Chen, don’t have enough dignity?”
“Pfft!”
"What kind of face can he have!" Zhang Yiquan next to him sneered, "Maybe he got it for letting his wife and daughter spend one night with the Yamen servant."
The two husbands and wives started mocking each other, and their words became more and more unpleasant, which made everyone in the Chen family suddenly angry.
