Chapter 709 Yangzhou City

Early the next morning, everyone set off to go northwest. There was Taihu Lake blocking the road to the west and southwest, so they had to go northwest first, bypassing Taihu Lake before turning to the southwest.

Basically, they can bypass Taihu Lake when they arrive in Wuxi, but they plan to go all the way north and go directly to Yangzhou. If they can take a boat and go south along the Yangtze River, it will be much easier. On the edge of the Yangtze River, you can also pass through Yuzhou by water.

It is more than 300 miles from Guiyin Mountain to Yangzhou, but the group of people are all martial arts masters, and they arrived outside Yangzhou City in just two days.

Under Ouyang Fei's suggestion, Elder Shi and his party changed into Han's clothes and pretended to be a small caravan, but they were not eye-catching.

Yangzhou City is one of the largest cities in the south of the Yangtze River. The outline of the city can be seen from a distance. Before entering the city, there is an endless stream of business travelers outside the walls, and there are also many trading places outside the city, showing prosperity.

The gate of the city gate was guarded by many patrolling officers. At first, Xiaoyao and others didn't take it seriously, thinking it was because Yangzhou City had a lot of right and wrong, so the guard at the gate was relatively tight.

After the group entered the city gate, they found a group of people discussing endlessly in front of a bulletin board on the city street opposite the gate.

"Xiaoyao, go and see what the notice says!"

"it is good."

Xiaoyao went up to watch according to his words, but saw a notice that read: "By the order of the prefect of Yangzhou, nightclubs have been rampant in Fucheng recently. In order to track down the suspects, business travelers are only allowed to enter the city according to the law, and are not allowed to leave the city."

Feeling slightly surprised, Xiaoyao said in amazement: "Only allowed to enter but not allowed to exit? How can there be such a reason? This is too absurd."

A person from the city next to him said: "It can't be helped. The city of Yangzhou is too uneasy these days. There are people stealing and killing people everywhere. Why did you choose this time?"

Li Xiaoyao said puzzledly: "Public security is not good. It's your officials who should arrest people and prohibit everyone from leaving the city. Isn't this treating Yangzhou City as a big prison and locking them all up?"

The city man smiled and walked away without commenting. Seeing this, Xiaoyao also turned around and left, and went back to tell Ouyang Fei about the situation. Ouyang Fei just nodded slightly, as if he didn't care .

Xiaoyao naturally understood that it was because they wanted to leave the city, who could stop them?Of course he didn't have to pay attention to the notice.

Ouyang Fei said: "Don't worry about it, it's getting late, let's find a place to stay first!"

Xiaoyaozi has no objection, but Elder Shi and his party are not qualified to express their opinions. They just followed behind silently. There are row upon row of shops on both sides of the road. There was a lot of noise and busyness.

After passing through several small hotels, Ouyang Fei turned a blind eye to them. There were 20 of them, and such a small hotel couldn't accommodate them.

After walking a few streets, I saw a notice on the wall again, which read: "It has been found that there is a group of female snitches who are thieves, lawless, stealing everywhere, and doing a lot of evil. This order is hereby issued. If there is a secret report that is confirmed, a reward of 200 silver coins will be rewarded." two."

Xiaoyao said, "Look, even women are committing crimes in Yangzhou City."

Lin Yueru echoed: "This is really special, I thought female thieves were only found in legends of the Tang Dynasty!"

Xiaoyao laughed and said, "I don't know if it's your ability or these female thieves' ability."

Lin Yueru smiled and said: "If there is a chance, maybe we can compete."

Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "If that female thief meets you two heroes, it will be really unlucky."

"That's natural."

Ouyang Fei and the three girls looked at the three people who were gradually getting along with each other with a smile, and they were very happy. The three guys were happily together, which was what they wanted to see the most.

Not long after walking, I saw the third big notice, which was posted on the side wall of the medicine shop. It was very conspicuous, but it was already a little torn. Violators will be imprisoned for three days, given forty floggings, and fined thirty taels of silver."

"Those who do not report to the criminals, those who hide the thief's love, will be fined 300 taels of silver, those who spit and defecate will be fined 20 taels of silver, those who obstruct official missions will be fined 100 taels of silver, and those who gather for gambling will be fined 300 taels of silver. People, fined ten taels of silver."

Xiaoyao was even more surprised when she saw this, and said: "Sister Yueru, look, the Yangzhou prefect posted all these things as notices, what's the point?"

The more Lin Yueru watched, the more disdainful she became, she pouted and said, "I said that the prefect is an incompetent person, and that's why he wants to declare his power like this because he can't control everything well."

"Our Suzhou prefect is very capable. Even my father respects him very much. I think they will never be able to catch the Snitch."

Xiaoyao agreed: "I don't know if he can catch it, but it's really annoying to see the notices posted everywhere."

Ling'er smiled and said, "Anyway, we'll leave after we've had enough rest, and we don't have to stay in this city, and we won't see these notices every day."

Xiaoyao nodded and said, "That's true."

Ouyang Fei suddenly pointed to the front left and said, "That inn is nice, let's stay there!"

Xiaoyao and the others looked in the direction he pointed, but they saw that it was a very luxurious inn, standing in the busiest area in the center of the market, and the people who came in and out were all rich and noble people in brocade clothes.

This inn naturally fits Lin Yueru's wishes, Xiaoyao and Ling'er don't care, they are the kind of people who can rest well as long as they have a tile to cover their bodies.

A group of people entered the store and asked for four upper rooms, one downstairs Datong shop, four upper rooms, one for Ouyang Fei and Mu Xi and Mu Xia, one for Xiaoyao alone, one for Lin Yueru Linger Ou Jingyan, Elder Shi's room.

There are ten bunks in each Datong bunk, but although it is a Datong bunk, the area occupied by each person is quite wide. It is no problem to squeeze 12 or [-] people, and [-] people can naturally live.

After arranging the accommodation and putting down the luggage, Ouyang Fei ordered three tables to wait for the banquet, which made Elder Shi and the others very satisfied. Although they were not short of money, Ouyang Fei's thoughtful arrangements made them feel comfortable.

A square table can seat eight people, Ouyang Fei and Ou Jingyan sit on a stool, Mu Xi and Mu Xia sit on the left, Linger Yueru sits on the right, Xiaoyao sits alone opposite Ouyang Fei.

Xiaoyao looked at the empty seat beside him, suddenly rolled his eyes, looked at Elder Shi at the next table, and shouted: "Elder Shi, why don't you come over and have a drink together?"

Ouyang Fei and the others glanced at him in surprise, and seeing him winking, they immediately knew that he was trying to play tricks, Ling'er hurriedly said softly: "Brother Xiaoyao, Elder Shi has taken good care of us during the past two days, don't you... ..."

Xiaoyao waved his hand under the table and said softly, "Don't worry! I won't do anything to him, I just want to have a drink with him."

Ouyang Fei exchanged glances with Mu Xi and Mu Xia, and there was a look of interest in his eyes. This kid possesses the trick of laughing dust. Could it be that he wants to...
