The city guard of Bohai City didn't believe Su Jingchen and the Sun Family were relatives, essentially just trying to exploit them. Whether they allowed someone to enter the city was merely a matter of their lip service.
Su Jingchen secretly gave the two guards five taels of silver each, and they let them into the city. However, they told them they couldn't linger in the city and should leave by boat quickly.
After entering the city, Su Jingchen found the cattle and horse market and sold the horse before taking the Sun Family and boarding a ship to Lu State.
Like Yu Xiaolian and her family, they disembarked at Wei City.
Having gained previous experience, Su Jingchen repeated the story, claiming that the Sun Family were his relatives.
The city guards of Wei City, noticing that Bohai City had let them through, didn't give them much trouble. They accepted the bribe and also allowed them to pass.
