20. Strange to enter the epidemic area

There are always twenty or thirty business travelers in the courtyard room. Most of them are grabbing breakfast. The few who got up early have already finished eating and are paying for the room and meals.

Most people were startled when they heard the door of the courtyard being banged. However, when they saw the thick spears standing outside the courtyard, they must be officers and soldiers. They belong to the system, and there is no chaos in the world yet.

, there is no exaggerated situation like that of the soldiers and bandits.

At most, they can extort two dollars. This is common for these businessmen. In some places, they directly block the roads and set up cards to blatantly collect taxes. What can you do? Pay two small dollars to buy peace. This is the consensus.

.

Before the store even opened, the small businessmen started to pay. You didn’t need to say anything, you officials, everyone felt very comfortable. They were just surprised that the land scrapers got up so early. It was not comfortable to slowly stop at the intersection.

Han Sanshi sighed softly, but he didn't show any sign of resistance. He took out a money bag from the package, counted out thirty coins, and after thinking about it, he put five more coins back.

Han Wushi saw that his elder brother had taken twenty-five dollars, so he also took out the money from his pocket and counted twenty-five.

"Brother, they don't recognize those Tianbao Pills of yours, so just say they are anti-diarrheal pills and pay more than ten dollars to take them away."

Seeing that Hong Dashou was also taking money out of the package, Han Sanshi gave him an idea. Didn't Big Tou Bing know anyone about Ruyi Tianbao Wan? The less he paid, the better.

While the three of them were paying, the shopkeeper hurriedly opened the door. As expected, a small robber school came in, wearing a round felt hat that was a little slumped, and the pheasant feathers stuck in it were all.

Stripped of color.

"It turns out to be Mr. Luo, please come quickly." The store owner's waist was half bent, and the common people were still very frightened when they saw such a low-ranking official.

"Oh, business is good, there are a lot of people." Hong Dashou could imagine the way he looked like catching thieves and waiting on people, but now he was also very visible in his arrogant and bullying way.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The shopkeeper nodded and bowed, and asked his wife to take out a bag of money.

Hong Dashou looked at the weight of the money bag and found that it contained at least a thousand dollars, which was considered a sum of money.

Mr. Luo had some strength in his hands. He weighed the four- to five-kilogram purse in his hands and knew the approximate amount of money. I guess he was very satisfied with the money given by the store and even laughed, although it looked like it no matter how he looked.

Smiling tiger.

"You are quite prepared for this month's case."

"I'll buy some wine for you, sir." Seeing that the portion was sufficient, the storekeeper let out a big sigh of relief and took out a small bunch of one hundred dollars and stuffed it into Luo's hand.

Luo Captor put the money into his pocket naturally and glanced around at the traveling merchants in the store. "Uh-huh!" he said, coughing slightly and saying nothing.

The shopkeeper immediately understood and carried money in his apron from each customer. He said he was sorry while collecting and returning the money. Everyone also knew the shopkeeper's difficulties and gave them happily. It didn't take long for the thirty or so people to pay the tax.

It was a full pocket, estimated to contain five or six hundred dollars.

Several officers and soldiers happily took the money from the store and started dividing it up on the spot. Naturally, Luo Zhantiao took the biggest share, and the officers and soldiers knew this well.

"You have opened a shop here for more than ten years, right?"

"Yes, yes, fifteen years."

"Yes, your daughter has grown so big too."

Luo Capitan took a look at the store owner's daughter. To be honest, the store owner's daughter had an ordinary appearance. She was not outstanding and definitely not ugly. There was nothing stunning about her middle-aged appearance.

But the shopkeeper seemed to have misunderstood, and he begged and babbled about something that had already been promised to him, that he was the son of a certain family in the city, and that he had already placed an order.

It was said that his daughter was hiding behind his wife, as if she was afraid of being snatched away. After all, on the way, Hong Dashou also saw things like arresting girls, slandering them as believers, and extorting money. The store owners must also know about these situations.

"Hahahahaha, how could our eldest brother like your daughter?" Several officers and soldiers laughed out loud, laughing at the store owner's self-righteousness.

But these words are not like fairy sounds in the ears of the store owner. It's better that they don't take notice of this kind of people.

Hong Dashou, who was still watching the show, was worried just now. He was a good citizen who ran a good shop, but it would be very sad if his flesh and blood were separated like this.

"Bah, they're just a few dogs, using their skin to prey on the common people."

Han Sanshi next to him cursed in a low voice, but only Han Wushi and Hong Dashou heard it.

"Brother, say a few words less, say a few words less." Han Wushi gently reminded his elder brother to avoid getting into trouble.

"Why didn't they leave after they asked for money?" Hong Dashou felt strange, and he didn't like his daughter. He had already made so much money, so he should be satisfied.

The three people were communicating in a low voice, and the policeman Luo in the courtyard stopped and was laughing.

"We have been friends for so many years. I will give you a clear path. Now close the shop immediately and go to your in-laws' house in the city to stay for a few days."

The store owner didn't understand anything else, but he understood what Luo Capitan told him to close the store immediately. If they couldn't open the store, their family of three would be deprived of food and clothing. How could this be so good?

"Master Luo, Master Luo, if the quota is not enough, we can increase it more, but if this store takes over, my whole family will not be able to survive."

As he spoke, the shopkeeper knelt down on the ground, ignoring the mud and water on the ground, and kowtowed to the robber Luo. The sound of the thump hitting the ground made Hong Dashou hurt.

"Get up! Since I took your money, if you don't ask about it, am I not doing anything?"

"Ah? This..." The store owner was frightened by Luo Capitan's impatient tone and collapsed on the ground.

"Hurry up and pack your soft clothes and close the store immediately!" Luo Zhidao shouted to the store owner's wife again.

The shop was open fine, but suddenly it was forced to close. The tourists and merchants in the courtyard became angry, but no one stood up to speak justice for the shop owner.

Just when Hong DaShou was about to stand up and ask why, he was immediately stopped by Han Wushi. He also winked at Hong DaShou and told Hong DaShou not to be impulsive.

There must be something else going on with this Luo thief, otherwise he wouldn't have said that he had taken the money and kept talking nonsense, and even asked the store owner and his family to leave. There must be some reason for this, some reason.

Looking around at the people who were angry but did not dare to speak, Luo Captor sneered twice.

He stepped onto the cooling table in the courtyard and stood on a high place. His men also drove everyone out and stood in the courtyard in twos and threes, listening to his orders.
