903 Who dares to mess around!
Seeing this, both of them were slightly taken aback. When I looked closely, I saw that many of the officers, accompanied by the soldiers, seemed to be inspecting the ships in front of them, and then pointing and pointing something......
"Master Liao, they seem to be collecting taxes!" Wu Kuida was more familiar with these scenes, and after watching them for a while, he immediately turned his head and said to Liao Juren.
Liao Juren listened, looked at it for a while, agreed with his statement, and immediately comforted Wu Kuida and said: "Look over there, look at those people who are nodding their heads to the officials and soldiers, obviously just ordinary businessmen. Those minions can only bully them! ”
Hearing this, Wu Kuida came back to his senses, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded yes.
At this moment the ship approached the wharf, and a servant with a group of soldiers came to meet him, and when he came near, he asked in a loud voice, "Who is the owner of the ship?" I see that this ship has a very deep draft, and there must be a lot of things on board, so it should be checked and taxed! ”
"My lord is Liao Ju from Minqing County, this is!" A domestic servant on the side of the boat pointed to Liao Juren and immediately proudly introduced.
Unconsciously, Liao Juren's waist straightened up again, and asked with a non-arrogant and humble attitude: "Do you want to check again?" ”
When the little official heard this, a trace of inexplicable expression suddenly flashed on his face, and he asked: "Dare to ask Master Liao, I don't know what is on this ship, cargo or private property?" ”
"Porcelain!" Liao Juren said lightly, "It's all my personal belongings, what's the matter, I still want to collect taxes?" ”
"Come on, get on the boat and check it out to see if what Liao Juren said is true!" When the little official heard this, he immediately ordered the tall soldiers around him.
The soldiers had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and as soon as they heard it, they immediately rushed into the boat to start the inspection.
Wu Kuida was a little worried when he saw it, but when he saw that although Liao Juren's expression was a little unswerving, he didn't stop him after all, so he didn't say anything. I hope that after these soldiers have been inspected, it will be confirmed that it is Liao Juren's private property, and they will be released as soon as possible!
The porcelain in the cabin was neatly arranged, and there was no concealment at all, and the soldiers who came on board to inspect it only took a cursory look and replied to the little official, which was indeed the case.
After hearing this, the little official turned his head to look at Liao Juren and asked very solemnly: "Master Liao, I am ordered to verify and need to verify again, is this ship of porcelain a private item or a cargo?" ”
"Are you deaf? I've already said it once! When Liao Juren heard this, his face was very ugly, and he said almost word by word, "This is my personal property, do you still want to collect taxes?" ”
When the little officer heard this, he did not hesitate any longer, and led the soldiers to retreat from the boat. But he didn't leave, only one soldier galloped away.
"Hmph, see no, if it's a flat-headed people, these cunning people will be forcibly taxed!" Liao Juren looked at the people on the shore who seemed to be a little unwilling with a little disdain, and then turned to Wu Kuida and said.
"That's, that's!" Wu Kuida was happy in his heart, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Master Liao, you are a famous person, who dares to mess around!" ”
The two talked for a while, and then Wu Kuida wanted to find the next home to deliver the goods, and Liao Tianyou was going to Fuzhou City to deliver some documents, so he was ready to say goodbye and leave. He was also here on a business trip, otherwise he wouldn't have to escort the ship himself.
But at this moment, I saw a general in the distance riding a horse and leading a team of soldiers over, and when he arrived in front of their boat, he asked coldly: "Who is Liao Tianyou Liao Juren?" ”
"Huh?" When Liao Juren heard this, he was a little surprised, and he replied a little unhappily: "I am!" ”
"This ship's porcelain is your personal belongings, not the goods for sale?" The general sat still on his horse, stared at him and shouted coldly, "Is this true? ”
When Liao Juren heard it, he felt a little wrong, but he couldn't pull his face to change his words, so he confirmed it again.
When the military general heard this, he also had to verify the identity of Liao Juren, which made Liao Juren very angry, and he thought that these people were blushing when they looked at a boatload of porcelain, and they had to verify their identities again and again.
So, although Liao Juren was angry in his heart, he still showed the relevant identity certificates and official documents to the general.
After he finished reading it, Liao Juren's tone was a little unkind and asked, "How is it, what are the questions?" If not, don't get in the way of me waiting to get off the boat! ”
"Absolutely!" Immediately, the general listened, and did not return the information to him, but just looked at him and shouted coldly, "Come on, take him down and take him away!" ”
As soon as they heard this, Liao Juren and Wu Kuida and the others thought that they had heard it wrong. But those soldiers had already prepared, and at the sound of an order, the northern soldiers pounced like wolves, like an eagle catching a chicken, easily tied up Liao Juren, and then pushed away.
"What are you doing, is there any royal law, I am a person from Minqing County, and I am on official business on the orders of the county, what are you going to do, and is there a royal law......
Liao Juren's mouth was not blocked, and it was impossible to break free from those soldiers, so he had to shout loudly.
The sound was very loud, and near the dock, people coming and going, entering and exiting the ship, all could be heard clearly. All of a sudden, everyone stopped what they were doing, stared at the scene on the shore, and whispered about it.
"Why are these big-headed soldiers so bold, and they have just blatantly grabbed the master? Who is that man? ”
"That person is so tall, it seems to be a northerner, it should be the general Liu Guoneng, right?"
"What do you mean, what's wrong with the general, it's not good to be rude to the old man, right?"
"Isn't that notice telling the truth?"
"What, if you want to beat the master, won't you, hurry up and take a look!"
“……”
Without exception, those who saw the situation crowded over and followed the group of soldiers to a small square on the docks.
"Hey, it seems that there is a banner of Lord Zhongcheng!"
"No, do you really want to do it?"
"There's a good show to watch now, haha!"
“……”
Sun Chuanting was here, and Liu Guoneng escorted people to him and told him the actual situation.
When Liao Tianyou saw it, he was a little cowardly, looking at Lord Zhongcheng's expressionless face, he was scared in his heart, so he wanted to change his words.
Who knows, Sun Chuanting didn't give him this opportunity, and shouted coldly: "As a lifter, but there is no king's law, the official announcement has been issued, kindly reminded, and even specially sent soldiers to the upstream to announce, but Keer still knowingly committed a crime, the king is ruthless, come, according to the law!" ”
A shipload of porcelain, far exceeding the prescribed amount, according to the provisions of the "Daming Law", that is, it is directly the top punishment, that is, the rod is seventy, and a shipload of porcelain is confiscated into the official.
When Liao Juren heard this, he was shocked, and he wanted to distinguish one from the other. But the soldiers on the side had already been instructed, and they didn't give him a chance at all, and dragged it down like a wolf, and immediately began to execute it in full view of everyone.
"Ah...... Ah......" screams resounded near the dock, and all the people who were discussing in a low voice immediately shut up, and on the dock, only Liao Juren's screams remained.
