Chapter 562: Entering Cangshan County Requires a Fee
General Lin knew that the Imperial Master suddenly brought up this matter to remind him that the Emperor and he already knew about it, and the reason they didn't immediately come to him to settle the score was because he had made meritorious contributions in guarding the border.
If he wanted to plead for Lieutenant General Luo, he would be held accountable for the forced conscription immediately.
And obviously, the Imperial Master has no intention of letting him go...
General Lin thought about it, and his feminine face became particularly conflicted.
Yue Yuan looked at General Lin without saying anything, waiting for him to speak.
After standing with Yaoyao in his arms for about a quarter of an hour, General Lin seemed to have thought it through and looked up at the two people, one big and one small, in front of him.
"I didn't intend to force conscription, but the Beidi Kingdom's repeated surprise attacks caused heavy losses to Anping Kingdom. Then one day I received a letter."
Yue Yuan frowned, "A letter?"
General Lin nodded. "Yes, a letter. At that time, there was a drought in the north, and many people fled to other places. There were no strong men to join the army. The drought spread to the border of the Northern Di Kingdom. They did everything they could to rob us of our food. You and the emperor know this."
Just when I was in a state of panic, I received a letter.
The letter stated that the South was safe from disaster and that the people were well-fed and well-clothed, making them the most suitable candidates for conscription. It also stated that if conscription was to proceed smoothly, a firm stance should be adopted, so that the people would not be able to refuse and the shortage of manpower at the border would be alleviated.
He has been doing this for three years.
"Do you know who that person is?" Yue Yuan asked.
"I don't know, but I've always kept that letter."
General Lin shook his head and took out a letter wrapped in parchment and handed it to Yue Yuan.
Yaoyao and Yueyuan looked at the parchment and blinked.
This parchment scroll looks familiar.
"Has this letter been wrapped in this parchment scroll?" Yue Yuan looked at General Lin.
General Lin nodded. "Yes, I put it in a parchment scroll when I received it, probably to prevent the ink from smearing."
Yue Yuan opened the parchment and read the contents of the letter.
The content of the letter was indeed the same as what General Lin said. The first stroke of the characters in the letter was heavy, and the last stroke was light. It was a very unique writing style.
You can find someone based on the words on the letter.
Yue Yuan put away the sheepskin scroll, threw Lieutenant General Luo onto Xiao Hei's back, then turned around and walked out of the military camp gate with Yaoyao in his arms.
.........................
midair.
Yaoyao, Yueyuan, and Lieutenant General Luo who was unconscious with his feet tied.
Xiao Hei was very fast and arrived at Cangshan County an hour later.
After leaving Princess Anguo alone for so many days, it’s time for her to show up.......................
She just didn't know what moves the other party was waiting for her.
Xiao Hei landed in a small forest outside Cangshan County.
Yue Yuan stood on the ground holding Yaoyao in his arms. Lieutenant General Luo, who was still unconscious, lay on the dirt-covered ground.
Yaoyao put a sleeping potion on Deputy General Luo, and then put him into a cave in the mountain in the space...
A barrier was set up around him.
Then a large man, a small man and a dog sat in a carriage and slowly headed towards the gate of Cangshan County.
The carriage took half an hour to arrive at the gate of Cangshan County.
There was a long line in front. One line was of ordinary people queuing to enter the city, and the other line was of long horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts.
The common people frowned with worried looks on their faces.
The man driving the ox cart also looked anxious.
After waiting in line for a quarter of an hour, the queue didn't move at all.
Yue Yuan felt something was amiss, so he lifted the carriage curtain and looked out the window at the old man carrying a bundle of firewood. He asked, "Old man, what happened up ahead?"
The old man looked at Yue Yuan, and was stunned for a moment by his handsome appearance. Then he said, "Now you need to pay ten cents to enter the city."
"I often came to Cangshan County for business before, and I never paid any money to enter the city. Why do I have to pay money to enter this time?" Yue Yuan pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes.
The old man sighed and said, "It was the current emperor who granted Cangshan County to Princess Pingyao as a fiefdom. I heard from the officials that it was Princess Pingyao's idea to go into the city to collect the money."
Princess Yaoyao Pingyao blinked when she heard this.
When did I stipulate that people in Cangshan County have to pay a fee to enter the city?
She feels so wronged!
