Chapter 272 The Great Viet Kingdom Doesn’t Know the Son-in-Law
The young eunuch, his wife, the soldiers and the other four people headed south all the way, spending the night at dawn and thirsty for food and drink. They arrived at a place without talking all the way. After asking about the local people, they found out that the name of the place was Zhennanguan and then continued on.
It is the Liangzhou City on the border of the Yue Kingdom. Although the Yue Kingdom is a place affiliated with the Great Dynasty, it has a different territory after all. Except for border residents, ordinary merchants, tourists, relatives visiting relatives, wandering beggars, etc., they are generally not allowed to enter and exit at will.
The young eunuch and others had neither gold medals for arrows nor border travel documents, and even had no relatives. They were stopped by the border soldiers and were not allowed to pass. They were ordered to return the same way, otherwise they would be punished as spies. Although the young eunuch was a prince consort of the Yue Kingdom,
, but I couldn’t explain it clearly to these soldiers guarding the border, so I was helpless.
A few people returned to the hotel and checked in, washed up hastily, ate some food and wine, and were about to go to bed to rest. Suddenly, there was a noise at the door of the store, and then the store owner came to ask them if they had any street food with them.
"What is a road?" the little eunuch asked knowingly.
"It's just a letter proving entry and exit from Dai Viet Country. It has the official seal stamped by the local government. If you don't have this thing, you will be punished."
"We have money." The little eunuch said something irrelevant.
"What's the point of asking for money? To enter and leave the border, you need to apply for customs clearance documents or a note prepared by the border residents. If you don't bring these things, how can you get through? There are patrols outside the door searching passers-by. If you are caught as a spy, don't blame me for not saying anything.
In front?"
"Where can I get these things?" asked the little eunuch.
"It's done by the state government's yamen, but it's not done every day. It's only done once every ten and a half months. Besides, it's getting late now. I don't know if today is the day to apply for the certificate. It's in vain for you to go. I'll wait for the inspection team to come and ask.
Get up, you can go and talk to yourself, and don't involve us in it."
The young eunuch disagreed and said: "Just say it, we are not spies anyway."
The shopkeeper said: "My guest is easy to talk to. He is not a spy, and there is nothing written on his face. Could it be that a real spy would shout 'I am a spy' when walking on the street?"
When the young eunuch saw that the shopkeeper was articulate and humorous, he couldn't help but think of Hua Shixiong. This man's appearance and tone of voice all resembled Lao Huazi, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Excuse me, sir, are you the shopkeeper or the waiter?"
"I am neither the shopkeeper nor the waiter, I am a distant relative of the shopkeeper. The man named Huang Mingguo has previously read the Four Books and Five Classics, The Analects of Confucius and the Spring and Autumn Period. He wrote a few words randomly for fun, but failed after repeated attempts.
I have no choice but to be an accountant here, which is really shameful and embarrassing!"
"It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen!" the little eunuch replied perfunctorily.
"Brother, that's a good thing!" Huang Guanguo, the failed candidate, exclaimed.
At this moment, the search patrol arrived, and one of them asked:
"Who are the people living in this house?"
"A few of my friends are here to enjoy the scenery," Huang Guanguo, the little eunuch's temporary friend, said in support.
"Friend, do you have your ID?"
"I just arrived today, I will do it tomorrow." Huang Guanguo is very good at talking.
"Why is there no one who can speak? Aren't all of these people mute?" A patrolman looked at something wrong.
"No, how could it be?" Huang Guanguo said quickly.
"Instead of asking you, ask him?" the patrolman pointed at the little eunuch and said
"I, I'm his friend" the little eunuch revealed his secret when he opened his mouth
"Damn it, Yankee, take it away, you don't look authentic!"
"They are really mine, don't believe it..." Lao Huang still wants to fight
"You damn bandit, take us away together!" Huang Guanguo was also chained.
Five people were imprisoned in a cell, and embarrassing things happened one after another. Old Huang didn't know that Nanqiao Maple Leaf was a woman, so he took out such things and urinated in the toilet. The little eunuch tried to remind him several times.
I can't say anything and I can't open my mouth. I'm afraid that Lao Huang will say that he is unnecessary. Nanqiao Fengye wants to relieve himself. How do you take off your pants in front of these big men? When men and women are mixed together and there is a stranger, they always look very awkward.
The little eunuch carefully observed that Huang Guanguo was not only a loyal person, not afraid of hurting his friends, but also had good character and good writing. He was a knowledgeable and sensible person, so he simply took a risk and told him about his identity and this time he came to Dai Viet.
He truthfully told Lao Huang his purpose.
After hearing this, Lao Huang was about to kowtow and plead guilty, but the young eunuch stopped him and said, "We are all brothers and sisters when we go out. Why are my brothers so polite?"
"I have a plan to ensure that you see the King of Dayue." Huang Guanguo frowned and thought of the plan.
"Tell me about it," the little eunuch said casually.
"My aunt's daughter is the maid of Princess Dai Viet. This girl is very clever and has won the trust of the princess. Tomorrow when the government sends people to interrogate me, because I am a local, they will not dig into me. Let me go home and I will
The excuse is that Miss Nan is my relative. Miss Nan is Cantonese and can speak Hakka, so the officials don’t doubt her. Besides, the officials are greedy for money, so they will definitely let me go. After we go out, they will try to contact my cousin..."
The young eunuch clapped his hands and said, "This is a great plan. I'll just follow my brother's advice. One more question. You said you are willing to be punished, but I don't know how much it will be."
"The official has a bad heart and may be fined more than one hundred taels of silver!"
"This is a small matter, I will make it up for you later."
"It's a trivial matter, nothing important. To have such a great friend like you is considered a blessing to me, Mr. Huang. What does it matter even if I go bankrupt?"
The little eunuch sighed to himself: This friend is really a good one!
"Besides, I think that there is no evidence for the patrol to arrest you, and it will never ruin your lives. I will borrow some money from the boss, bribe the government officials, and ask them not to be too harsh on you, and to send you some wine and meat from time to time."
The little eunuch sighed again: This Huang Xiucai is a very talented person because of his methodical analysis! After everything is done, he will definitely be given a chance.
The next day, the warden led several guards and a man who looked like an official came in. They saw this man with yellow skin, thin skin, sunken eyes, short stature, bow-legged steps, and a swaying walk.
The prison head looked very angry and said first:
"Get up, and you will enjoy a damn good life. This is our warden who is here to ask questions personally. Do you understand, boys? Get up and kowtow to the Lord!"
The little eunuch was afraid of causing trouble, so he kowtowed.
The warden waved his hand and asked in a straight voice: "What do you do, and why do you come to us as spies?"
The young eunuch remained silent. Huang Guanguo said, "This young man is my relative. I don't know those three."
Nanqiao Fengye nodded and whispered: "He is my cousin."
"What a fool," the officer said. "These three Yankees will continue to be imprisoned. I have a small matter today. I will interrogate them tomorrow. You two, get out of here! You are really occupying the latrine. You are here to fool around."
The food is here”
After Lao Huang and the others left, Zhang Baobao and Wang Hengheng were worried and asked in a low voice:
"Commander, you trust this man named Huang so much. What if he abducts your sister-in-law?"
The little eunuch smiled and said: "Although there is no word "loyalty" or "treacherous" written on a person's face, the difference between good and bad can be distinguished in the words spoken. This old Huang is right! The two brothers are too worried. Only fools will use their wives as bait.
Woolen cloth!"
Zhang and Wang nodded doubtfully and then shook their heads.
