Chapter 169: Customs Clearance Documents
Chapter 170
The carriage stopped in front of the gates of the city walls in a wealthy part of Skar.
Because each area is separated by a city wall, the gap between the rich and the poor here is more serious than expected.
Even the walls of this wealthy area are noticeably stronger than those in some other places.
There are even magical inscriptions on these walls, and it is clear that even the walls can withstand the impact of some magic, which is a rather high-end and expensive defense method.
"Please show your passes."
A well-armored city guard with an indifferent face stretched out his hand to block the carriage.
"This is the carriage of the Council of Seven, and you dare to stop it?" The men who drove the carriages were not as fearful of the guards as the other coachmen.
He's a full-time seven-man parliamentary coachman, and there aren't many people who can make him bow his head and agree.
"I'm sorry, but we don't recognize any carriages for the Council of Seven here, unless you can show a special document or seal of the Council of Seven." The city guards were not frightened by the other party's name, and looked at the coachman in front of them mockingly.
The coachman paused for a moment, then looked a little angry.
"Looks like the name of the Council of Seven won't work here." Nora poked her head out of the window and looked ahead.
"Well, this strategy of joint governance sometimes has these troubles, and people in other regions are likely not to buy it, unlike the Winter Mountain Kingdom, if anything is under the jurisdiction of the royal family, even a dog, no ordinary person dares to stop it."
"Mr. Youxing, are you laughing at our royal family?" Little King Puran asked.
"That's not it, every way of governance has advantages and disadvantages, I'm just a cultural communicator, so I'm not interested in studying what is good and what is bad, just explain the facts, because of the king's rule, your country will be more cohesive, if it is a Ming monarch, it will be better."
"Ming-kun?" The little king of Puran muttered the word silently.
He is now a little king, but he is not yet capable of taking on the duties of king.
In fact, if the little king of Puran had ascended to the throne to govern the country from the beginning, I am afraid that those big nobles would have eaten away from this little king long ago, so the regent Alberta is actually a disguised protection of this little king of Puran at least in his youth, and then he can pave the way for the future when he really has the ability to become a king.
The Council of Seven certainly also has relevant seals and documents to provide.
This carriage was offered to Zhang Youxing when Zhang Youxing proposed to go to Scar in person to persuade the old rich people here, and this carriage itself can be regarded as representing a certain position of the Council of Seven, and it also represents an affirmation of Zhang Youxing by the Council of Seven.
And under normal circumstances, if this carriage goes to some areas, it is also equivalent to a mobile pass, and it is almost impossible to encounter obstacles, but if you really encounter obstacles, the other party asks you for the seal and documents of the Council of Seven, and the carriage driver has no way.
There are indeed documents and seals inside the carriage.
But those were all things that had been used when they had gone to other places in the past, and now that these people were obviously making things difficult for them, the coachman of the carriage did not think that the few expired documents in the carriage would allow the city guard to let them go.
"Do you want me to go back and apply for the documents and come back? Do you know that if we are delayed, you can't afford it as a city guard? ”
The coachman said with a cold face.
"I'm sorry, I have to follow the rules, all you can do now is find a way to put the documents in front of me, and I'll let you in."
"Well, I already have the papers, why don't you come and get them?"
At this moment, Zhang Youxing poked his head out of the carriage window and said to the front, while raising a parchment scroll in his hand, which was printed with a bright red stamp, and the mark on the stamped was obviously the seal mark of the Council of Seven.
The city guard was visibly a little sluggish.
In the past, these city guards have also investigated, and this carriage that came here rarely went to other places with special documents, just because no one dared to stop it in other places, but they dared here.
Therefore, because these city guards have the support of those rich and powerful old rich people behind them, plus they also occupy the reason, they can pass if they have documents, and they can't pass if they don't, after all, this is also the rule set by the seven-member council in the past.
Therefore, according to the instructions of the old rich man, they deliberately blocked the carriage and did not let him in too quickly, which was regarded as giving the people who came in the carriage a dismount.
But the other party is now holding a document in his hand.
"This is the clearance document for the Council of Seven?"
"That's right, you can just come and get it, or do you want me to go down and give it to you personally?"
"No need Mr. Youxing, I'll just take it." The carriage driver didn't seem to expect that Zhang Youxing really had the customs clearance documents in his hand, but he didn't suspect anything, he definitely couldn't let the people he was carrying come down to personally send the documents out, so he would be too incompetent as a coachman, so he hurriedly got down from above the carriage and prepared to get the documents.
"Don't bother you, just let this city guard take it, after all, according to the rules of the Council of Seven, we don't have the obligation to walk over the documents and give them to others in person, and people have the right to get them in person." Zhang Youxing politely refused the coachman's behavior of coming to get it.
The coachman also immediately understood Zhang Youxing's intentions, and then bowed down lightly and said, "I understand, then this Mr. City Guard, please go and get the customs clearance documents yourself, or do you not want the documents and don't want us to go in?" ”
The city guards were tempted to question the authenticity of the document.
After all, according to the investigation, the carriage has hardly used documents to go anywhere else, so according to convention, if you come here, you should not carry the relevant documents.
But he also deeply understands the possibility of being slapped in the face if he questions, so he is very smart not to question, but to verify it first, if it is true, then he can only let it go, he is only responsible for making things difficult at most, but the person who really fights with the people in this carriage is definitely not a small person like him, and he is not qualified.
"Come in, let's go in."
The city guards opened the parchment scroll and carefully verified the authenticity of the document, and finally completely confirmed that it was the real document, and could only choose to release it.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Youxing did not forget to take back the documents.
This is actually something that Zhang Youxing prepared just now, but he directly asked for the documents asked for by Canning, one of the Seven Councils, through the teleportation channel.
When asking for documents, Canning was drinking afternoon tea, and saw a teleportation channel suddenly appear in front of him, and then Zhang Youxing stretched out his hand through the teleportation channel to ask for documents, and Canning almost didn't squirt out the tea.
