Du Yu was stunned and immediately realized what was happening. He turned around and gave an order to Sun Mingfeng at the city gate: "Mingfeng, ask the brothers to stop the caravan immediately. They must not be allowed to leave the city!"
Although Sun Mingfeng didn't understand the reason, he pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and said: "Seal the city gate!"
In an instant, the guards guarding the city gate quickly took off their hand crossbows and pointed them at the Meng Hecai caravan that had just entered the city gate. Four guards on the other side struggled to close the heavy city gate!
"All of you, hold your heads and squat down facing the city wall, otherwise be careful that the crossbow arrows in the hands of the military master do not recognize anyone!"
"You! What do you want to do? It's best to squat down and don't compete with the crossbow arrows!"
Meng Hecai panicked and winked at the guard: "Listen to the military master and do it honestly. We have not broken any laws. We have nothing to be afraid of. We all squat down!"
Dozens of the caravan's guards immediately squatted down obediently after hearing the boss's order. Only one of them, a middle-aged man in his thirties, glanced at the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion who quickly appeared around him with a dark look.
He squatted down with a little worry and unwillingness in his eyes.
"Sir, did something happen? Why did you stop others again?"
As soon as Liu Mingzhi walked down the city wall, Sun Mingfeng walked up and looked at Liu Mingzhi with a puzzled expression.
We searched and searched, and we searched twice. Why did we stop them when they were ready to leave?
Liu Mingzhi did not answer Sun Mingfeng directly, but gave him a calm look and walked towards the city gate, directly towards the caravan owner Meng Hecai.
"Boss Meng!"
Meng Hecai stood up slowly and looked at Young Master Liu tremblingly, with big beads of sweat dripping down his face: "Sir, are the common people trafficking something that shouldn't be trafficked?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Meng Hecai calmly: "Boss Meng, is it very hot? The stone tools must be very heavy!"
"It's not very heavy, but it's a bit stuffy and stuffy. How do you know the common people are wearing stone tools?"
Liu Mingzhi was stunned and looked at Meng Hecai who was looking at him calmly in surprise. He never expected that he would admit so frankly. This had nothing to do with the outcome he thought.
Ordinarily, at least you can quibble a little, and then be exposed by your smart self to reveal the truth, which will set off your tall and glorious image. Isn't this the halo treatment you get as a time traveler?
"Won't you quibble?"
"Why do the common people have to quibble? The common people are indeed wearing stone tools!"
"you"
Young Master Liu was speechless as he looked at Meng Hecai who was acting out of common sense, causing all the thoughts he had organized to be disrupted.
"Take off your robe!"
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Without hesitation, Meng Hecai untied his belt and took off his outer robe, revealing two not-so-thick deck molds. The molds were tied to Meng Hecai's body with ropes from front to back like armor.
Liu Mingzhi stared at Meng Hecai cautiously, with the Heavenly Sword in his hand ready to be unsheathed at any time: "Where did you get this stone tool?"
"It was given to Cao Min by boss Chang Yun Shu Chang. He wrapped up all the goods on Cao Min's car. He said that I would help him deliver this batch of goods outside Shanhaiguan. There is chaos outside the customs, so it's better to be on guard while wearing stone tools."
"Although Cao Min is extremely uncomfortable to wear, Boss Chang is a big customer of Cao Min, and he has good intentions, so Cao Min wears it!"
"Who is Chang Yunshu from? Is he in the city now?"
"I don't know. He directly gave Cao Min 30,000 taels of silver, saying it was the goods plus transportation costs. Cao Min thought about who the goods were to be sold to, let alone such a big customer who paid for the goods first, so he didn't ask him.
Identity, this is also my first time dealing with him!"
"There hasn't been a good business for so long. It's not easy to come across such a smooth business. Once the money is in hand, ordinary people don't think so much!"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the oxcart loaded with goods: "Did you really lose your flag?"
"How dare the ordinary people deceive the Lord? The flag was really lost accidentally!"
"Can you still contact Chang Yunshu?"
"He said he would wait for the common people outside the customs, so he found one."
"Whoosh!"
The sound of sword chanting came, and Liu Mingzhi swung his sword to strike directly. With a clang, the sword stopped directly at a position less than five fingers wide from Meng Hecai's face.
A sleeve arrow with blue light was directly intercepted by Liu Mingzhi's sword and fell to the ground. Only then did Meng He come back to his senses and slumped to the ground, looking in horror at the poison-infused sleeve arrow that fell at his feet.
"Don't move! Shoot the arrow!"
The sound of arrows piercing the air resounded frequently in the city gate, and the arrows hit the wall bricks with a clanging sound.
A figure rose and fell rapidly through the crowd of defenders, causing many soldiers holding crossbows to dare not fire arrows easily for fear of accidentally injuring their brothers.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at Meng Hecai, who was unharmed except for being frightened. He raised his sword and chased the figure from behind.
"Mingfeng, watch Meng Hecai!"
"Got the order!"
"Brothers, follow me. When we leave the city gate, we are covered with arrows, blocking the thieves' escape route!"
However, the situation was different from what Du Yu expected. After leaving the city gate, Du Yu saw Liu Mingzhi looking at the empty street with a frown on his face. The figure had already disappeared without a trace.
"Sir, where are the people?"
Liu Mingzhi shook his head helplessly: "What a brilliant Qinggong. As soon as I left the city gate, his figure disappeared. Did the brothers shoot him?"
"No, he used his body skills to shuttle freely between the brothers, and the brothers didn't dare to shoot arrows at all!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed regretfully: "It would be great if Sister Ya was here, but it's a pity!"
"Mingfeng!"
"exist!"
"Bring all the people and goods to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion. Make sure to keep their lives safe. Send someone to notify Sima Huangshuo to search for people without household registration throughout the city. Check everyone's identity. If something is wrong, they will be detained on the spot!
"
"Got the order!"
"Du Yu, let's go back to the Governor's Mansion first!"
"yes!"
"Huh!"
Liu Mingzhi, who sheathed his sword, was just about to leave when he looked at a caravan slowly approaching across the street with a strange look on his face.
"Li Shu!"
Liu Mingzhi gently whispered the flag of the caravan and waved to Du Yu with a smile: "Stop them!"
"Got the order!"
"Brothers, follow me and stop the caravan in front!"
"Bold, what do you want to do? This is an official merchant from the imperial court, a caravan under the name of His Highness the King of Shu. Do you want to attack the royal family?"
Du Yu was stunned and looked at a middle-aged man with a white face and a sharp voice who emerged from the carriage. He glanced at the caravan's flag and looked back at Liu Mingzhi with a hesitant expression.
This is a caravan under the name of the King of Shu. If we forcefully inspect it, I am afraid that we will be at odds with the King of Shu.
Liu Mingzhi gave Du Yu a look. Du Yu hesitated for a moment and strode towards the middle-aged man who had just got off the carriage. He raised his hand and slapped him twice.
"Tell me where your grandma is! Brothers, check it out!"
"yes!"
The middle-aged man trembled and covered his swollen cheeks: "You are so bold. You dare to be disrespectful to us. We will let the prince cut you, a bold little general, into pieces!"
"Are you guys just freeloaders? Didn't you see that we were all beaten? Kill this rebellious traitor!"
Snap, snap!
"Mess with your mother!"
Du Yu once again slapped the middle-aged man's side with lightning speed, raised his crossbow from behind and pointed it at the middle-aged man, and coldly glanced at a group of caravan guards who had drawn their sabers and wanted to step forward.
"Whoever dares to move, I will shoot this sissy right in the eye!"
"The imperial court has issued an order to the world that anyone who dares to attack the light card will be killed without mercy. You can try whether this general dares to turn you all into corpses!"
As soon as Du Yu finished speaking, hundreds of personal guards raised their hand crossbows and pointed them directly at the caravan's guards, waiting for an order.
"No, no, no, you blind people. Why don't you put down your weapons and let them search? Hurry up and let them search!"
Looking at the arrow so close in front of him, the middle-aged man finally panicked and gave trembling instructions.
Du Yu chuckled and put away his crossbow: "Check, check thoroughly to see if there are any prohibited goods!"
Hundreds of personal guards rushed towards the oxcart carrying goods like hungry wolves, not caring whether they would damage the goods on the car.
The guards are not fools. They have long seen that the boss is deliberately targeting this caravan. In this case, there is nothing to be polite about.
It doesn’t matter whether he is the King of Shu or not, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up, and you can investigate as you please!
Liu Mingzhi held the Heavenly Sword in his arms and looked at the group of hungry wolf-like bodyguards with a faint smile. Li Yunlong's caravan would be sorry if he didn't give it a try.
"Sir, no prohibited goods were found!"
"Sir, there are silks, tea, jewelry, grain, and nothing that is not allowed to be trafficked according to the ban!"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and looked at the messy cargo: "Since there is no such thing, load it for them!"
"Yes, brothers, put them back together!"
"yes!"
"etc!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at the guards who were holding horizontal knives to stop loading the goods in surprise. He didn't know what Du Yu wanted to do!
The guards looked at their boss with the same puzzlement and stopped loading the goods.
Du Yu walked straight towards the bullock cart and lightly touched the wheel with his finger.
"Sir, what do you think this is?"
Liu Mingzhi hurriedly walked towards Du Yu, staring at the dust on Du Yu's hands for a long time without knowing why.
"What's wrong? Isn't this just dust?"
Du Yu raised his finger and turned towards the middle-aged man in the caravan: "Where are you going to transport the goods?"
"Outside the Pass!"
"Sir, they want to transport the goods outside the customs!"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Du Yu with a greeting on his face: "Yeah! So!"
"Sir, look, this wheel is obviously the dust of our dragon. They actually want to take our dust outside the customs and sell it. This is simply a serious crime of beheading!"
"Behead?"
Young Master Liu looked at Du Yu with a confused face, obviously still unable to understand what this guy meant.
"Yes, this is obviously a betrayal of the past and the betrayal of the country!"
