Chapter 1141 Striking the grass and startling the snake
Liu Dashao looked at Cheng Kai with a suspicious look and stood up righteously.
"Please don't use a puzzled tone, this duke has been thinking about how to restrain the cavalry these days, and now he finally has a clue!"
"Handsome! This one didn't ..... Nothing? ”
"No conscience cannon!"
"Yes, can this conscienceless cannon really restrain the enemy's cavalry?"
"Of course you can, the barrel is easy to cast, replace it with a new one if it is scrapped, replace the shell with an explosive bag, although the range is a little closer, but the power is multiplied, the most important thing is to save silver!"
"Discarded swords and armor don't need to be piled up in the storehouse at all, and they can be taken out and used to cast the barrel of the conscienceless cannon."
"I told you that you don't understand it either, and you'll understand it when my father finds it out!"
"Cheng Kai!"
"The last general!"
"You go busy first, you are on duty for most of the day today and you don't see what people look like, you also know what this father is going to do, tell the Longwu guards on the city wall, just do it as usual, don't be noticed by some people."
"Okay, the last general will go to oversee the army first, and the commander must not be polite to the last general if he needs anything!"
"Got it, don't worry!"
After Cheng Kai left, Liu Mingzhi stopped at the attic of the city tower and quietly watched every move at the city gate.
Many caravans didn't seem to notice anything unusual at the city gates, and still left the city in an orderly manner under the inspection of the guards.
Liu Mingzhi is still quite satisfied with this, as long as there is no crowded scene at the city gate, once something big happens, the city gate can be closed immediately.
"Humble Du Yu see my lord!"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and glanced back at Du Yu, who didn't know when he had climbed the city tower: "No courtesy!" ”
"My lord, you obviously ordered the closure of the city, why did you let the caravan out of the city again? What if someone gets caught in the middle? ”
"The gates of the city are all sealed, isn't it clear that it is not appropriate for those people to go out of the city now, and that they must be hidden in the city?"
"In that case, why do you want to lock down the city? What is the difference between unsealing and not locking the city as soon as it is closed! ”
"It's a big difference! Do you know what it means to scare a snake? ”
Du Yu thought for a moment, and immediately looked at Liu Dashao with understanding: "I understand, you are deliberately letting those ...... who secretly traffick prohibited weapons."
"Shh......h
"Don't see through it, carefully accompany Ben Du to keep an eye below, as long as these guys haven't left the city yet, they will definitely go with the crowd! The more they stay in the city, the more bottomless their hearts will become! ”
"Ignorance, understood!"
Liu Mingzhi took his hands and stood up to carefully observe every caravan that was about to leave the city: "What kind of behavior does Sima Huangshuo have that disobeys orders?" Has the Governor's command been passed out? ”
"This last general doesn't know, Lord Huang said that he would arrange it, and the last general was in a hurry to close the city and didn't interfere too much in the affairs of Lord Huang!"
"Then try it, if you can use it, if you can't use it, you can use it, and if you can't use it, you can return to your hometown, and the official who dares to disobey the governor will never let him stay in Yingzhou to fight against me!"
"I understand, when are you going to go and see the adults over there in Fuzhou!"
"After dealing with the affairs of Yingzhou, if you don't show up all the time, the governors of my two prefectures will inevitably be too unreliable...... Go down with Bento! ”
"Yes!"
Liu Mingzhi trotted all the way to the city wall.
Sun Mingfeng was leading a group of personal soldiers to search for the goods of a caravan, and Liu Mingzhi slowed down and walked up.
Although Du Yu didn't understand what the situation was, he still subconsciously held his hand on the hilt of the horizontal knife, and cautiously guarded Liu Dashao's side.
Sun Mingfeng handed the document of the household department to a slightly chubby middle-aged man: "Go over, next time you dare to forget the banner of leading the caravan, General Ben has to give you a long memory!" ”
"Yes, yes, the grass people will definitely bring it next time, they must bring it, thank you for the general's magnanimity, Xiaoxiaoyin is not a respect, take it to drink tea!"
Sun Mingfeng took the silver in his hand and put it away: "Count it as if you can do things, run your business well, don't traffic in some businesses under the ban of the imperial court, otherwise it will be a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!" ”
"Yes, yes, thank you for the general's teachings, the grass people retire!"
"Hmmm! Let's get over it! ”
"Wait!"
Sun Mingfeng was stunned for a moment and hurriedly saluted: "Sun Mingfeng see your lord!" ”
"Excuse me!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Grass people, see adults!"
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Dashao tremblingly and hurriedly saluted!
Du Yu touched his old fellow Sun Mingfeng with his arm: "I've been with the adults for so long, don't you know that the caravan that doesn't intervene in the Ministry of Household Affairs to issue business names and flags will be strictly investigated?" We'll see how the adults clean you up later! ”
Sun Mingfeng looked at Du Yu in embarrassment: "Boss, I have strictly checked, all the goods have been unloaded, and there is no forbidden thing at all!" ”
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and looked at the chubby middleman: "No need to be polite, why don't you insert the banner of the caravan?" ”
"Lord Hui, the grass people originally brought the flag, but they were lost halfway, and they didn't have time to report to the yamen of the household department, and the grass people went to handle the flag immediately after the goods were sold!"
"So that's the case, be careful in the future, the business name that can't show its identity is easy to be interrogated!"
"The grass people will do it when they go back, and they will do it when they go back!"
"Is there a customs clearance document issued by the Ministry of Households?"
"Bring it, Wen Mu bring it!"
The slightly chubby middle-aged man hurriedly took out a paper sheet from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Dashao.
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the goods of the ten ox carts, opened the document and carefully examined it, Liu Mingzhi carefully checked that there was indeed nothing abnormal in the text, and raised his eyes to glance at the slightly chubby middle-aged man.
"Yizhou Meng's business name is Meng Hecai!"
"Exactly, the grass people are Meng Hecai!"
"What goods are you selling?"
"Silk, tea, utensils!"
Liu Mingzhi returned the text to Meng Hecai, and turned his head to look at Sun Mingfeng: "Mingfeng, have you checked it carefully?" ”
"Lord Hui, I have checked it, and the tea leaves have been carefully inspected one by one, and there is no forbidden item at all!"
Liu Mingzhi chuckled and returned the text to Meng Hecai: "Can this official check your goods again?" ”
"Yes, yes, adults can check as many times as they want!"
"Thank you Boss Meng for your understanding, this official is also his duty, Du Yu, Mingfeng, let the brothers unload the car!"
"Yes!"
"Brethren, unload all the goods!"
"Order!"
More than 20 guards guarding the city gate moved down the entire ten truckloads of goods, and the guards of the caravan all trembled around the shopkeeper Meng Hecai.
Although he was afraid, he didn't lose face too much, and he knew that he was guarding his boss!
"My lord, all the goods have been unloaded!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded lightly, walked towards the goods, picked up a fine silk and looked at it.
Half a pillar of incense kung fu Liu Mingzhi checked the batches of silk one by one, and there was indeed nothing mixed with it.
The tea leaves and utensils were also opened by the soldiers in bags and piles, and they were neatly placed on the ground, Liu Mingzhi didn't find anything wrong when he touched and knocked, it was indeed a very ordinary cargo.
Liu Mingzhi put a piece of tea in his mouth and chewed it, it was ordinary Longjing tea of ordinary quality!
Liu Mingzhi straightened up and glanced at all the goods again, and didn't notice anything wrong at all, so he let down his guard.
Maybe it's really thinking too much.
"Du Yu, let the brothers restore Boss Meng to the car as before!"
"Order!"
It took half a pillar of incense again, and the bundled silk tea utensils were loaded into the carriage by the soldiers.
Liu Mingzhi leaned on the city wall, looked at the caravan behind him again, his brows furrowed slightly, could it be that the eight-bull crossbow and mold had already been transported out?
"My lord, can the grass people get out of the city?"
Liu Mingzhi came back to his senses and looked at Meng Hecai with a fine sweat on his forehead with a chuckle, obviously frightened.
Liu Mingzhi raised his hand and patted Meng Hecai's shoulder: "You can go out of the city, where the duty is, it must be strictly investigated, let you be frightened, wipe your sweat!" ”
Meng Hecai wiped the fine sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: "It's okay, it's okay, the grass people haven't experienced this kind of battle, for fear that if something should not be found in the goods, now the grass people are completely relieved, and the grass people have retired!" ”
"Okay, business is booming!"
"Thank you, sir, the grass people are leaving!"
"Brothers, out of town!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed regretfully, walked up to Sun Mingfeng and patted him on the shoulder: "Do a good job, my father will go to the city tower first!" ”
"Yes, the lowly order!"
Du Yule looked at Sun Mingfeng hehehe: "It seems that you kid really checked it well, and did a good job!" I'm going to accompany the adults to the city wall! ”
Liu Mingzhi slowly climbed towards the city tower, and Liu Mingzhi stopped and raised his right hand to look.
"What's wrong, my lord?"
Liu Mingzhi frowned, raised his right hand and patted his shoulder, his eyes were a little puzzled, and he patted Du Yu's shoulder again, and after a moment of silence, his face changed suddenly.
"Quick, stop that caravan!"
