Specially hired people advise foreign traders on the way to the central market. But after passing along it, the merchant comes across a narrow bridge through which his large cart cannot pass. Here traders are waiting for him, who are ready to buy all the goods, but at ridiculous prices. Or, they suggest, go back through another gate of the city and go through the queue and check at the gate again, and the guards will definitely demand you pay the entry fee again. The choice is not pleasant. Workers also gather here, offering to move the cart to any tavern using their secret paths.
