Escape: The powerful boss brings base supplies to become the overlord of one party

"Afraid?" Gu Xue raised her eyebrows, then shook her head.

"What's so scary? If anyone wants to mess with me, I have a way to deal with him."

She just thinks that Beijing is complicated.

"The people who did it were either the princes or the prince's maternal family."

Xiao Jingyi's eyes flashed brightly: "Oh? You have guessed it."

Gu Xue curled her lips: "Isn't that what's going on in the capital?"

"Let's go eat first and then hurry up."

Gu Xia was also hungry for a long time and quickly responded: "Yes, yes, let's find a place to eat first."

Several people set off in the carriage again.

When we arrived in the city, we found a restaurant, chose a private room, and ate a table full of dishes.

Mainly Gu Xue and Gu Xia were eating.

Xiao Jingyi didn't eat much.

The guards who followed also ate in the lobby.

After eating and drinking, we drove away in a carriage.

In the carriage, Gu Xue closed her eyes and rested.

On the way after that, Gu Xue did not stop and look at the scenery, but went on the road while playing.

She just wanted to arrive in the capital early and have a good rest.

So the car went much faster on the next road.

Either resting in the inn and replenishing supplies, or on the road.

Five days later, several people came to another county town.

As we were about to enter the city gate, we saw many people rushing ahead.

There were people driving carriages, people walking, and people carrying burdens.

I had to wait in line slowly to enter the city.

Gu Xue was sitting in the carriage and resting boredly.

Gu Xia impatiently lifted the car curtain and glanced outside.

"Sister, isn't this a county town? Why are so many people lining up to enter the city?"

Gu Xue also felt strange.

Is there a large-scale event in the city?

So everyone rushed to the city in a hurry.

The two people who were curious happened to hear the noisy discussions of the people outside.

"Why are there so many people today? I heard they have to pay the city fee."

"Yeah, why did you collect the city entrance fee properly? This thing hasn't been collected for decades."

"You don't know this, right? I heard that the county magistrate is celebrating his birthday, so this fee must be a tribute to him."

"A county magistrate dares to accept filial piety money from the people? It's unjust."

"You don't know this, right? I heard that the county magistrate is a relative of the noble concubine in Beijing. There are people in Beijing who are easy to do, and no one dares to mess with him."

"Ah, life is hard. We have just gone through a disaster year, and we are not allowed to live."

A clear voice came into the carriage, and both Gu Xue and Xiao Jingyi heard it.

Gu Xia's cheeks bulged with anger after listening to the people's comments: "It's unreasonable, you dog official, harming the people and oppressing good people."

"Using power to bully others, I am afraid that I have done a lot of bad things with the help of the imperial concubine. I have been doing evil for many years."

Gu Xue felt unhappy.

She looked towards the carriage in front and met Xiao Jingyi's eyes.

The image of a corrupt county magistrate who was corrupt and perverted the law could not help but appear in their minds.

Because he was celebrating his birthday, he collected a fee from the people to enter the city.

I've never seen anyone making money like this.

Because since the beginning of the Dai Viet Dynasty, there has never been a city entry fee.

People in villages and towns are free to buy and sell things, and to enter and leave the city gates freely.

This is a clever way of making money.

Gu Xue asked the young man who came to her carriage: "Brother, are there any activities going on in this city? So many people are coming into the city."

A wry smile appeared on the boy's face: "People who are doing business within a hundred miles, as well as wealthy families, are all busy going into the city to wish the county magistrate his birthday. There are so many people, that's it, they line up to enter the city."

Gu Xue glanced ahead.

Many of the people queuing up were horse-drawn carriages, and they belonged to wealthy families.

On the contrary, the number of people walking around wearing linen clothes was only a minority.

It is precisely because these wealthy people are busy lining up to enter the city to celebrate their birthdays that they block the road, which in turn affects the normal activities of people entering and leaving the city.

"Isn't he just a seventh-grade county magistrate? Why do people from hundreds of miles around come to congratulate him on his birthday?" Gu Xue asked confused.

The younger brother sighed, then shook his head: "This girl, how can the Qipin County Magistrate attract so many people? There is a relative of the imperial concubine, so there are so many wealthy people rushing to fawn over her."

Jamel Xiao's eyes were filled with a bit of frost: "These people are flattering the county magistrate, but the county magistrate accepts everything?"

"It's been several years. This happens every time the county magistrate celebrates his birthday. If there is no reward, those people won't keep giving gifts." The younger brother smiled bitterly.

"It is said that the county magistrate is like the sky. There is nothing he can't do. He really covers the sky with one hand."

"You are foreigners. I advise you to leave as soon as possible after entering the city, but be sure not to offend the county magistrate."

After saying that, the little brother followed the large army and walked forward.

However, Gu Xue's carriage remained motionless.

Because the carriage in front was still waiting in line to pass.

Gu Xue snorted coldly: "You see, even if there is such a moth and a backer in the capital, it is still lawless."

There was a violent storm in her eyes, as if the sky would collapse in the next second.

Xiao Jingyi was thinking about something at this time and said nothing.

After a while, a curse came.

"Drive away, don't you dare block this lady's way."

The voice seemed to come from behind, and Gu Xue didn't pay attention, just thinking that he had met some unruly and willful young lady.

Unexpectedly, the carriage he was riding in suddenly swayed forward.

It was accompanied by the sound of objects colliding.

Gu Xue realized that someone was hitting her carriage.

She lifted the curtain, stood on the edge of the car in front and looked back.

They saw a carriage behind them, the curtains of which were also lifted, and a woman with red lips and white teeth, looking at them commandingly.

"Hey, what about you? You're a blind thing. Why don't you get out of the way quickly and let my lady's carriage pass first." The woman scolded.

When the people around him saw it, they stepped back one after another.

There seems to be a vacuum here.

From the woman's perspective, it was true that Gu Xue blocked her carriage.

Of course, there were other people's carriages in front of Gu Xue's carriage.

However, Gu Xue and the others travel in a low-key manner, and the carriage is very ordinary.

The other carriages in front looked like they belonged to wealthy families.

The carriage of this unruly lady was also richly decorated.

Gu Xue said displeased: "You are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. Why don't you let the carriage in front of you give way to you? What are you doing to me?"

The woman suddenly became anxious when she saw that Gu Xue dared to contradict her.

"Where did you come from? You are a pariah. You are lucky to make way for me. You are such an ungrateful person that you dare to scold me."

She glared at Gu Xue fiercely, and with lightning speed, she pulled out the whip from her waist and swung it at Gu Xue.

Xiao Jingyi jumped up, stood in front of Gu Xue, and caught the whip with his hand.

"Xue'er, are you okay?" Xiao Jingyi said softly.

Gu Xue shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

He was blocked by her, and she hadn't made a move yet. What could happen?

Seeing him caring for her so much, Gu Xue felt warm in her heart.

She looked at the unruly, willful, and domineering evil woman.

Gu Xue raised her voice and said: "Auntie, if you don't show off your power, do you think I'm a sick cat?"
