Rebirth as Princess Jin again

The two of them left the restaurant, and Situ Jin took Su Ying to stroll among the vendors on the street.

The stalls on the street sell products with the characteristics of border towns. Su Ying's eyes were instantly attracted by a vendor filled with rattles.

The stall owner was a kind old man. Seeing Su Ying staring at the rattle, she smiled and recommended: "Madam, are you buying this for the children at home? These are all made by me and my old man. Take a look." The pattern on this rattle was painted by the old man himself, which means good luck. Madam, you might as well buy one for the children at home to play with."

Su Ying immediately noticed a rattle with a fat baby holding a big carp. She asked, "Mother-in-law, what does this mean?"

The mother-in-law smiled and introduced: "Madam, you have really good taste. The boy holding the carp means having many children, good fortune, and plenty every year."

Situ Jin took out the silver and handed it to his mother-in-law. The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Young master gave me too much, I can't get this much!"

Su Ying put the silver into the mother-in-law's hand: "I want this. You can keep the silver."

The mother-in-law was a little embarrassed to accept the money and smiled at Su Ying: "Why don't you see which one you like, Madam? The money you gave me is enough to buy my stall."

Su Ying put away the rattle and said softly to her mother-in-law: "I only want this one. I have something to ask my mother-in-law. I wonder if she can tell me sincerely?"

The mother-in-law nodded: "Madam, you might as well speak out!"

"I heard that you don't need to pay taxes and silver when doing business in the border town. Does my mother-in-law's stall need to pay silver to the court every month?"

The mother-in-law looked around and whispered: "Madam, I think you are a good person. Please don't ask anyone else this question. You can't ask this question so blatantly in a border town. You will be kicked out of the city."

As soon as she said this, Su Ying understood in her heart that it was really what the waiter said, and she stopped pestering her, and the two of them left the stall.

The two of them walked around the city and bought a lot of things, but they knew that they were being followed unhurriedly behind them.

The two of them wanted to keep a low profile when they went out today, so they did not bring any guards with them.

But they didn't expect that someone would already be watching them from the moment they entered the restaurant.

Perhaps it was because they were too ostentatious when they entered the city that day. Thinking of the unreasonable rules in the border town, the two of them probably knew that all strangers who came to the border town would be followed.

The two walked into the alley, which was dimly lit. Soon the people following them surrounded them and blocked the two in the alley.

The man looked fierce: "Where did you two come from?"

Situ Jin protected Su Ying behind him: "Who are you and why should I tell you?"

The man raised the lantern in his hand, pointed at the official uniform and said: "See clearly, we are from the government. You are sneaking around in the restaurant today to inquire about the affairs of the government in the border town. We suspect that you are spies from the Western Regions." , deliberately sneaked into the border town and wanted to inquire about the military affairs of the border town. I advise you to cooperate, otherwise I will take you back to the government for questioning now."

Situ Jin took out the customs clearance document and held it up to the official: "This is our document. We came from Yancheng. Because Yancheng was fighting, we came to the border town to escape. We had some small money in our hands, and saw the officials in the border town administering the Qingming Festival, so we thought I wanted to start a small business here to make a living, but after asking around I heard that outsiders are not allowed to do business here, so I was curious and asked a few more questions."

The official took the document and found nothing strange, but he saw that the man in front of him was full of aura and seemed to have some skills.

But interrogating this person was a task from above, so they could only bite the bullet and said, "Who knows if this document of yours is a forgery?"

Situ Jin snorted coldly: "You can't even tell the authenticity of a document, how can you still eat this bowl of rice?"

The leading official felt that he had been insulted and said to the people around him: "Come here, take them to the government and investigate them carefully."

"Bang, bang, bang!" The first few people who came forward were kicked to the ground by Situ Jin, but Situ Jin only retracted his feet without even messing up his clothes.

"They say that the city officials here govern the Qingming Festival. I don't think so. Even an official can go to the streets and arrest people at will. Who gave you the power in your hands?"

The leading officer suddenly felt bad, took a step back and said, "You...who are you? How dare you resist arrest?"

Situ Jin took a step forward and scared the leading officer back again and again: "We have no intention of offending, but please make it easy for everyone. If the border town does not welcome us, we will leave tomorrow. It is too late tonight. We will pack up and leave early tomorrow morning." .”

As he spoke, he took out a few ingots of silver and put them in the hands of the leading officer: "These are the medical expenses that I will give to you. Please don't embarrass us and my wife."

The leading officer weighed the money in his hand, then looked at his brother lying on the ground. He weighed it in his mind and realized that together they were no match for the person in front of him.

He immediately waved to the people around him and walked outside.

Su Ying looked at the back of the person in front of her leaving and sighed: "It seems we can't stay in this city any longer."

However, early the next morning, as they were packing their bags and preparing to leave, their small courtyard was surrounded by border defenders.

"Madam, it seems that before we leave, someone is rushing to drive us out of the city."

Situ Jin sneered. The rules in this city are really unusual. They just asked casually, and someone who cared about them heard them seriously. But overnight, even the defenders were dispatched.

The guards on both sides dispersed, and a man wearing brocade with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in from the door. Behind him was a woman, wearing a gorgeous dress, with fair skin and beauty. Her eyebrows were swept lightly, and her lotus steps moved lightly. Full of elegance and charm.

Obviously these two people are the city lord and the city lord's wife among the people in the border town.

The guard from last night stepped forward and whispered in the city lord's ear: "City lord, were these two people asking about things in the city last night?"

Situ Jin looked at the two people in front of him, feeling calm in his heart. He left the capital when he was five years old, and his appearance took after Concubine Xian. The imperial sister in front of him may have forgotten what his younger brother looked like, and she probably wouldn't recognize him.

"I wonder why the city lord and his wife come to this humble residence?"

The moment Zhou Wei saw Situ Jin, he was slightly shocked. Although the two people in front of him were dressed in ordinary clothes, the aura of their gestures showed that they were either rich or noble. Fortunately, his people did not act rashly last night. It's best not to offend the person's background.

He stepped forward and politely cupped his hands and said, "I heard that you two came from Yancheng. It was my people who were rude last night and disturbed my wife. Today I came here specifically to apologize."
