Chapter 165 The Bearded Man Makes Trouble

3:45 p.m.

Xiao Jingchuan and his group of five, sitting in a horse-drawn carriage, rushed to the north gate in a hurry.

At this moment, in order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Lang pretended to be the young master and went back to the carriage tent, so that Chang Ting could sit out and sit together with the Death Star who was driving the carriage.

The carriage, driven by the Death Star, was moving very fast, and a cloud of dust was raised on the country road behind it.

"Uu——"

After a while, the carriage arrived about thirty to fifty steps away from the north city gate. The Death Star obeyed the order and braked suddenly, slowing down.

"Hey! You two!"

"Stop, stop!"

In front of the north gate, the three gatekeepers, old, middle-aged and young, who were chatting with their arms folded, followed the bearded man and waved as they walked towards the carriage.

"Uu! Uu!"

The Death Star had no words to say, but still had a stern face. He slowly drove the carriage to the city gate and stopped in front of the three gate officials.

"What are you doing?!"

"Where are you from?"

"Do you have a pass?!"

The bearded gatekeeper acted like a big shot, shouting and yelling in a high-pitched voice, relying on the tiny power he had as a gatekeeper, and he held on to it tightly and ordered the guards around.

As the old saying goes, it is easier to deal with the King of Hell than with the little devils. This is the truth!

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Jingchuan hurriedly stepped out from the carriage tent, lifted the tent curtain, and smiled solemnly.

"Hehehe"

"Hello, General!"

"There are roads and guides, yes!"

Xiao Lang pretended to jump out of the car and took out Wang Fu's pass from his arms.

The bearded gatekeeper saw that the driver had an unfriendly look on his face, so he glared at him twice more, staring at him fiercely, and stretched out his hand, still raising it, waiting for Xiao Lang to hand the fuse to him.

"Well, you?"

"Your name is Wang Fu?!"

The bearded man, who was used to putting on airs, glanced at Lu Yin impatiently and checked the information with Xiao Lang.

"Ah, ah! Yes!"

"I'm Wang Fu, a commoner from Baoding Prefecture!" Xiao Jingchuan responded immediately without any delay.

"Where do you live in the city?!" Hu Chazi deliberately made things difficult.

"Haha, my home is in the east of the city, and I'm in the fur business."

"Yongchang Fur Shop!"

"General, if you have the time, I'd be so kind as to come to our shop and have a cup of tea!" Xiao Lang replied with a smile.

"Humph! Do I need your cup of tea, huh?!"

"Don't try to fawn on me!"

"What did you do outside and why are you back?!" Hu Chazi didn't appreciate it and continued to ask.

"Oh, haha, this time I went out to the northern mountains to buy some leather materials!"

"It's a familiar business. I have to go out several times every year to collect skins! Haha."

As Xiao Lang spoke, there was always a smile on his face.

After he finished speaking, the bearded man glared at him for no reason.

Then he moved his gaze back and aimed at the car hood.

Following the trend, two officials, one old and one young, who were standing behind, stepped forward simultaneously and surrounded the carriage.

Hu Chazi ran straight to the center, and when he reached the awning curtain, he used his scabbard to lift it open.

In the inner room, Zhizhong and Mr. Liu Erye appeared in his sight.

"You two!"

"Damn it, sit still!"

"Your butt is stuck to the seat?! Can I help you clean it up?!"

"Hurry! Get down here for inspection!" The man with the stubble was very rude.

Zhizhong was in the carriage, and when the doorman let down the curtain, he quickly held down Mr. Liu, who was standing beside him. In order to prevent him from losing his temper, he gave him a look.

In a short while, the other two also jumped out of the car.

"Go! Stand at the foot of the city wall!"

"Uncle Xia, I'll go search him, you two check the carriage!"

As they were talking, the bearded man didn't wait for his two companions to reply. He turned around and led Xiao Lang and his group of five to the doorway, and searched them one by one in a rude manner.

When he walked away, the white-haired gatekeeper glared at him and muttered.

"Humph!"

"This is for him!"

"I've asked him to assign it!"

"I haven't even become the boss yet, but I have such a high position of authority!"

"He's got a pig's nose with a green onion stuck in it, and he's always been good at pretending to be an elephant!" said the white-haired old man.

"Hey, Master Xia!"

"Stop talking, or he will hear you!"

"We are destined to be scolded wherever we go!"

"Hurry up, let's get to work!"

"Otherwise, we'll have to arrange something for each other later!"

The younger one persuaded them and pulled the old man's sleeve. Without further delay, the two began to check the carriage in front of them as a routine matter.

At the same time, not far away at the foot of the wall.

The bearded man slapped and grabbed Xiao Jingchuan from behind, from top to bottom, but to no avail, he pulled hard again and turned Xiao Lang over.

"Huh! A rich man?!"

"Look at your gorgeous clothes!" The bearded doorman said in a mocking tone while flipping through the clothes.

"Oh! Haha, look at what the general said!"

"Businessmen are living in a precarious situation. They put all their belongings on the platform, but it's just for show!"

Xiao Lang also learned the false courtesy and pretentiousness of businessmen to cope with the situation.

At the same time, while speaking, he took advantage of Hu Chazi's inattention and stole a glance towards the direction of the carriage.

Before coming here, he was in the car and temporarily asked Chang Ting to remove the baffle under the frame and hide his short gun and sword in it.

At this moment, the two gatekeepers, one old and one young, kept looking around and checking.

Xiao Lang was unsure, fearing that his sudden action would reveal his true identity, which would make the situation even more difficult to deal with!

After all, he had never imagined that these three bastards would target him like this!
Just before this, there were other people entering the city, but they didn't see these three guys searching so carefully? !
"I bother!"

"Stop playing dumb with me!"

"I despise you pretty boys the most in my life!"

"You rely on a few filthy riches, and you don't even know your last name!"

"In my opinion, King Chuang is too kind to you guys!"

"Anyone who looks rich and wealthy should be killed with a knife without asking any questions!"

"So that you guys can avoid causing trouble!" Hu Chazi started cursing for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lang finally figured it out!
This middle-aged man with a face full of stubble must be having a grudge against some rich, handsome man!

At this moment, I have become a scapegoat and a punching bag!
No way!

You can only blame yourself for your bad luck!

Just like this, Xiao Lang and his group of five people gave the bearded gatekeeper a lot of trouble.

After about a quarter of an hour, he finally gave up because he gained nothing, and let Xiao Lang and the others return to the city!

Xiao Jingchuan felt like he had lost all hope in life, his face filled with sorrow, but he couldn't get angry!
So he had no choice but to continue pretending to be respectful and smiling, greeted the remaining four, got in the car and gritted his teeth to go into the city!

Not long after he left, the middle-aged man with a stubble felt a stomachache.

I ran to the toilet two or three times in a row and had severe diarrhea. I didn’t know if it was retribution for my actions.

Seeing the situation, Uncle Xia felt helpless, so he told him to go to the detention room on the inside of the city gate and lie down for a while!

Right now, there are fewer and fewer people and cars entering and leaving the city. One more won’t make much difference, and one less won’t be a big deal either!
Hu Chazi's body couldn't hold on any longer, so he stopped insisting and went back inside as he was told.
