Chen Lei looked at the city guards on the city wall below, frowned slightly, and said in a voice transmission: "I am Chen Lei, a disciple of the Chen family. Why don't you make way for me quickly?"
"So what if you are from the Chen family? Do you think you can break the rules? Let me tell you, not to mention that you are a disciple of the Chen family, even if the head of the Chen family comes, you still have to abide by our rules. If you want to enter the city, then come in through the city gate."
A leader-level city guard on the city wall did not take Chen Lei seriously at all, nor was he intimidated by the Chen family's reputation. He sneered and said.
Chen Lei was not clear about what had happened in Qingyang Town, so he did not plan to cause trouble. He landed the green glaze Feiyun Boat on an open space outside the city gate, asked everyone to get off the Feiyun Boat, and prepared to walk into Qingyang Town.
"Stop! If you want to enter the city, you must pay a tax of ten taels of silver per person!"
Just as Chen Lei and others were about to enter the city, they were stopped by two soldiers guarding the city.
Chen Lei frowned again and said, "Paying taxes, when did Qingyang Town have this rule? Why haven't I heard of it before?"
A soldier saw this and immediately looked ferocious. He shouted, "Stop talking nonsense. This is the new rule set by our garrison commander. No one can violate it. If you want to enter the city, you must pay taxes honestly. Otherwise, go back to where you came from."
Chen Lei's eyes widened, and the murderous aura that had not yet dissipated from killing a thousand Blood Wolf bandits rolled out and instantly enveloped the soldier.
"ah!"
The soldier was so frightened by Chen Lei's murderous aura that was as strong as substance that he fell to the ground, incontinent, with a scattered look in his eyes, and was almost scared crazy.
"I still have to pay taxes when I go back to my own home. I've never heard of this bullshit rule."
Chen Lei glanced at another gatekeeper, who was so frightened that he didn't even dare to look at Chen Lei, let alone collect taxes.
Chen Lei swaggered into the city with the one thousand surviving women and children.
"stop!"
Chen Lei and his men had not gone far when suddenly a burst of horse hoof sounds as rapid as a rainstorm rang out from afar.
"Tatttattt..."
A team of fully armed soldiers blocked Chen Lei's way.
"Who are you? You are so bold and lawless. You dare to violate the laws set by the garrison commander himself, refuse to pay taxes, and kill soldiers. Your crimes are unforgivable. Why don't you surrender obediently? Come back with me and wait for your punishment."
A lieutenant pointed a spear at Chen Lei's face and shouted angrily.
"Who the hell are you? If you keep provoking me and being rude to me, don't blame me for being rude."
Chen Lei was already very angry at this time. He had just returned home and was subjected to such difficulties one after another. He could not suppress his anger.
"You dare to threaten the officers? You're asking for a beating!"
After hearing what Chen Lei said, the leading lieutenant sneered and swung his spear at Chen Lei's face, saying, "You little lowly person is so bold. Even if I beat you to death, you deserve it."
Seeing the lieutenant's actions, Chen Lei became completely furious. He waved his hand lightly and grabbed the spear in his hand.
"let go!"
Chen Lei let out a low shout and, with a little effort, he snatched the spear from the lieutenant's hand.
