However, while queuing up, the owner of the auction house, with whom he had frequent dealings, discovered that today's inspections were stricter than usual.
So he had an extra eye, went to the front of the city wall, and found the city guard officials who he had to check every time he came and went.
The other party was extremely busy, but considering that he was his major customer, he still had a few words of advice with him.
“The pressure on our northern gate is too great.
Do you know why? That's because you see the door over there to the west? He has completely blocked it.
Just three days ago, the largest riot to date occurred in Ximen.
I really didn't expect that anyone would dare to rob and kill directly under the royal city.
I don’t know which of the big lords around Zhou did it. Even though it was dark at that time, the gate of the royal capital was already open.
Those who chased after them killed nearly dozens of transport caravans in front of the door.
And what was registered with us as the cargo transported by that caravan was horses and weapons made of iron. "
Hearing what the city guard official here said, the person in charge of the auction house became a little nervous: "Don't we even check the goods when we enter the city?
Oh, of course, I used to belong to the privileged class, and that part would be over if I paid some money. But I am different from them. I am an ordinary trading company. Which trading company dares to be so bold as to transport iron and armaments prohibited by the royal family? . "
The guard officer who knew something about this took the person in charge to a relatively hidden place in the corner of the city and talked to him a few more words.
As a thank you, the person in charge of the auction house stuffed a golden card into the other person's arms.
With this kind of card, you can make purchases in many shops in the capital city.
It is similar to the current vouchers of a certain amount, which is very easy to use.
Just for this kind of voucher, the guard officer explained in detail what happened that day to the owner of the auction house.
"You may also know that trading house. It's in the west. It's one of the big trading houses next to the auction house."
“The main task of their chamber of commerce is to collect furs from some areas and the crystallization of some special beasts in the border town.
Because the people in the Chamber of Commerce are relatively tough. It is also equipped with a large fleet of fast and galloping horses, which is regarded as a very popular chamber of commerce in the city.
But for such a chamber of commerce, they still had nearly 30 people as guards. But when the group of gangsters attacked, this group of people didn't last long before they were taken away in a wave. If this were not the case, they might still have a way to survive by the time Wang Chengjun arrived.
Even if he was punished by the king for transporting contraband, it was still better than losing his life outside the city.
And I heard..."
When he said this, the city guard lowered his voice: "These goods are prepared for our Grand Duke.
Of course it can't be any other Grand Duke, that's our King's dear brother!
Therefore, if those merchants can withstand it and enter the city, someone will be able to gain their full advantage. "
"However, no matter how powerful the background of this group of people is, they are not as powerful as the other robbers.
After you have the opportunity to enter the city, go to Ximen'er and take a look. If you look at the uneven marks on the door, you will know how intense the fire was at the door.
It was precisely because of Ximen that such a major accident happened. We, the city defenders, were very frightened and did not dare to let any caravan in easily.
After you enter the inspection area in a while, you'd better cooperate with the work of my people. We can't finish the job this time. We don't dare to spend any money.
Because of what happened at the west gate yesterday, there was some difficulty in rescuing people at the city defense gate over there, and now they are still locked up in the water prison of the royal capital, waiting for the king's fate.
I don’t know what kind of torture he would have experienced if he fell into the hands of the imperial guards.
Now that the incident over there has been taken over by this group of guys who are like animals, it won't take long to catch the people behind the scenes.
I said, you are transporting a lot of goods this time. There are no goods that can make things difficult for us, right? "
Of course, the owner of the auction house couldn't be nonchalant about this. He patted his chest and assured the other party: "How is this possible?
This time, all the goods we transported are jewelry and precious medicinal materials. Although we have many people escorting such delicate things, there are not many goods that are actually unpacked and inspected, and they will not even bring any harm to the brothers. trouble.
We can do whatever we want when we go in. Of course, the hard work will not be lost, my friend.
Don't worry, this is definitely not a bribe or any shady money.
These are just a few thoughts from an old friend I haven’t seen for many years. I’m sure you, my friend, won’t refuse. "
The city guard felt extremely comfortable after saying these words. How could he not want the free money? Of course he nodded in agreement.
The conversation was over, and the two of them performed their duties and returned to where they should be.
The royal capital in this area is so majestic, even if the city gate is blocked, no matter how many people check it carefully. But under the supervision of the two rows of escorts, the speed of advancing head on was still very fast.
Not long after, Mai Fan and his caravan arrived at the inspection area under the city gate. People stood on the right side, and goods stood on the left. Some people unpacked the boxes to check the quality of the goods, while others checked the identities of the people who came to the royal capital.
As local people in this area, whether it was the rebellious child or the several scholars, their identities were all right. When the six people including Mai Fan were interrogated, the owner of the auction house thought he needed to take action himself, but he asked They didn't expect that Mai Fan and the others actually had the pass token given by the Lord of the Ghost City.
There are more or less exchanges between these six districts. Even if the fifth district and the third district of the Ghost City are separated by other districts, this kind of general token between districts It still works.
So when Mai Fan and the others took out something like this to identify themselves, the people around them were quite shocked.
In this way, the person in charge who had been observing Mai Fan and others became even more proud. Look, let me tell you, the identities of this group of people are not simple. How could they be ordinary travelers?
After he has this kind of identity bonus, the female friend who came to him will definitely be very satisfied with the group of people he found, right?
Several people checked the customs clearance document that Mai Fan took out. After confirming that it was correct, they released it with a wave of their hands.
