Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

"You are so greedy for money, is it more important, money or life?"

Yao Shu said angrily.

"I said, this money cannot be touched. I can't raise much money to begin with. I'm worried that it won't be enough to bribe the guards. It would be nice if I don't add more money. If you want money, you can earn it yourself in the future."

She couldn't help but lecture a few words, but she couldn't stand it anymore. After the crisis was over, she would have to find a way to straighten out the Shen brothers, otherwise there was no telling what disaster would happen in the future.

Seeing that she was really angry, Shen Bei immediately stopped and did not dare to speak anymore.

Not long after, the village chief came over with a heavy bag of silver.

"Sister-in-law, do you see enough?"

"Just go and try it and you'll find out."

Yao Shu was not sure. She thought that she should be able to make the guard speak. There was at least ten taels of silver here. Even for the guard, it was a large sum of money, which could be worth several months' monthly payment.

"Give all these away? Do you want to keep some more?"

Even at this time, the village chief was still reluctant to part with him. He was under tremendous pressure. When he thought of everyone's expressions when they handed over the money to him, and the heavy trust, he really didn't dare to let everyone down.

But this is not something he can do just because he wants to.

Yao Shu could understand him, but it was hard to explain.

"Village Chief, you also know the current situation. I'm afraid these are not enough."

If it were really so easy to impress the guards, so many Heavenly City Gates would not remain motionless. Only by offering more benefits could the guards risk opening the doors for them.

This truth is not difficult to understand, and the village chief also knows this, but it is difficult to make up his mind. He lowered his head dejectedly.

"Let's go."

It would be better to try it out sooner rather than later.

Perhaps they were desperate. Although there were many refugees outside the city, there was no one at the city gate. Everyone knew that the city gate would not be opened, so they stopped trying and hid far away to avoid being chased by officers and soldiers.

At this time, the figures of the village chief and Yao Shu were particularly eye-catching. As soon as they approached, they were stared at with sharp eyes by the officers and soldiers at the city gate.

"No idlers can approach the city gate, please leave as soon as possible."

The attitude of the officers and soldiers was very bad. For no other reason than they were assigned such an unlucky job, dealing with refugees in such a terrible way, of course they were not happy.

"Sister-in-law, we..."

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials. The village chief was yelled at by the officers and soldiers, and his legs became weak. He couldn't help but retreat. Not to mention that he would not be able to enter the city by then, and the money would be spent. In the end, he would be arrested. Take a beating.

He also wanted to discuss it with Yao Shu, but found that Yao Shu had already reached the city gate without stopping.

"My lord, it's because we were ignorant and disturbed you. I think this is my apology."

Before the officers and soldiers started to expel her, Yao Shu first stuffed a bag of silver into her. After taking away the money to clear the way, the other party's attitude changed instantly. She was no longer vicious, but was waiting for her next words with interest.

"I want to ask the military master about how to enter the city. Could you please give me some guidance? I think the city gate is not closed."

She had carefully observed that although the city gate was not open, people were coming in and out of the small door next to it.

This shows that they still have hope of entering the city, but they have not found a way.

The officers and soldiers raised their eyes and looked at Yao Shu. This old woman was quite extraordinary. She even knew this.

He weighed the weight of the money bag in his hand and couldn't help but hesitate. The money was indeed very tempting to him. Besides, the other party didn't need him to open the city gate, so it wasn't impossible.

"This is news related to adults. You can't inquire about it casually."

Yao Shu's eyes lit up. What the officers and soldiers said meant that there was still hope, otherwise they wouldn't have bothered to say such words.

She turned to look at the village chief beside her, who also understood and hurriedly took out another money bag from his arms and handed it over.

"Master, please do your best and show us a clear path."

The village chief's heart was bleeding. He had to spend so much money to get useful information.

Yao Shu was also worried on the side. She was afraid that the silver would not satisfy the appetite of the officers and soldiers, which would be troublesome.

Fortunately, this bad situation did not happen. The officers and soldiers collected the money and spoke.

"The people who come in and out of the city every day are the servants of the county magistrate's house. They go out of the city to buy things for the rich man's wedding. Now they are thinking about rare things to make a dowry, so that the young lady can get married in a glamorous way. .”

"It seems that the magistrate loves the young lady very much."

Yao Shu tried hard to think about the clues contained in it.

"That's natural, that's really the apple of your eye."

The officers and soldiers sighed with regret. Some people are just lucky enough to be born with a good child. Unlike them, they can only guard the city gate here.

After saying this, when the officers and soldiers noticed someone approaching, their expressions immediately changed and they shouted loudly.

"Let's go, don't stay near the city gate."

Yao Shu and the village chief could only leave in despair. They spent a lot of money and only got a few words in the end, but there was still no hope of entering the city.

When the two of them were walking back, the village chief's back was a lot stooped, and he didn't know how to go back and face everyone.

Looking back at Yao Shu, the sadness in her brows and eyes had dissipated a little. She was carefully considering what the officers and soldiers had just said.

Maybe she could think of a way to see if she could follow the people from the county magistrate's house into the city who were out shopping. She thought of the glazed phoenix hairpin stored in her backpack. It's also pleasing to the eye.

Thinking of this, Yao Shu felt much more relaxed. She felt that the boulder pressing on her body was lifted upwards, and there was less sense of urgency.

"Village Chief, our trip is not a loss at all. At least we have figured out who to ask before we can enter the city."

"But where do we have any good things that we can bribe the people who buy them at the county magistrate's house?"

The village chief also thought of this, but all the money collected from the villagers was given to the officers and soldiers, and it was also tied up with his family's bank account.

Even if I see other ways, it won't help.

These days, if you want someone to take them into the city, you will definitely have to pay a price.

"There will always be a way."

Yao Shu did not tell anyone about her glazed phoenix hairpin. Firstly, the origin of this thing could not be explained clearly. Secondly, her wealth was not exposed. Before the matter was decided, she had better not rush to expose herself.

As soon as they saw the two of them turning around, everyone in Dahe Village came forward to greet them. They were eager to know the result.
