Chapter 886: High Taxes
After Qinghu saw the shape of those two people, he didn't care about the others and bent down with a smile.
With such a hand, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, you can't see it.
"What are you laughing at, you're not the same ugly!"
Lin Mengya glanced at him, and the big black mole on her lips was very conspicuous.
"Yes, yes, we're all ugly together now, okay, let's go on the road too."
Time is of the essence, and they don't have any extra time to waste.
It's just that after Lin Mengya sat pitifully on the carriage, there was a burst of sneezing every once in a while.
Seeing a pair of red eyes, pitiful and pitiful, Qinghu took out a few small cotton balls from his arms as if he had just remembered something.
"Stuff this in your nose, really, I don't understand such a good smell, why don't you like it?"
This guy, definitely on purpose!
Lin Mengya viciously snatched the cotton ball from Qinghu's hand, and she said, it's not right to listen to this guy's voice just now.
Dare to play this trick with her, and see how she will clean up this dead fox after they return to Dajin!
After the toss just now, the sky has already brightened.
Coming out of the main city of Yushan County, they still have to cross several cities before they can completely leave Yushan County.
Since the Xin family has made a move, the back and forth inventory will become more and more strict.
Although the three of them have been harmed like this, they can't be taken lightly.
Except for the three of them, the rest of the entourage has been properly placed.
Those familiar faces had already been taken to the Ten Thousand Gu Pool by Xiao Yu and Ning Qiu.
The rest of the people, as long as they are careful and do not show any obvious flaws, can survive until the wind passes.
When the time comes, he will slowly return to the royal city and expose the conspiracy of the Xin family.
These people can be chosen, and there must be something extraordinary about them.
The number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased, although the three of them were not very eye-catching, but the strange combination, and the strong smell of peppercorns, still attracted the attention of pedestrians.
But fortunately, they are not a special kind of small traders, Yushan County is rich in peppercorns, and there will be hawkers who drive out to sell in various counties all year round.
Soon, we came to another city gate.
The inventory has indeed become particularly strict, and almost everything that everyone is carrying has to be turned over and transferred for inspection.
That's not all, everyone has to carefully inquire about their identity and the purpose of leaving the city.
The slightest ambiguity will be immediately taken aside.
It seems that the Xin family is also careful enough, not only sending people to hunt down and kill them, but even arranging such a battle at the city gate, which is really worthy of them.
"Stop, where are you from?"
Several bags of peppercorns on the carriage made several soldiers defending the city pay attention to it for a long time.
Qinghu trembled and jumped out of the carriage, and his sharp eyes were easily blocked by the loose eyelids.
The whole person is like a cowering small trader, and he can't see what he looked like at all.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our father and daughter are small merchants selling peppercorns, we haven't broken the law!"
Qinghu learned from these low-level ordinary people, and there were indeed no flaws.
Lin Mengya bared her teeth at those officials, and the previous makeup results finally worked.
The front teeth, which looked uneven, quickly made several officials lose their appetite.
After flipping through their things perfunctorily, he waved his hand and let them go.
Look, playing a stupid girl or something, she's actually quite talented.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Qinghu hurriedly said, and after getting into the carriage tremblingly, the three of them continued to hurry.
After passing three checkpoints like this, she finally came to the last gate of Yushan County, and Lin Mengya's heart was also suspended.
Because the inspection here will be the most stringent.
It doesn't matter if they're exposed, it's a big deal to kill them.
But once it is discovered, I am afraid that it will be even more unfavorable to Xiaoyu.
At this time, the sun was setting, and Xiao Yu and Ning Qiu had already entered the Ten Thousand Gu Pool.
I hope they are all right.
"Stop, you guys, come down and get checked!"
This is much stricter than the previous three levels.
After the three of them glanced at each other vaguely, they obediently followed the instructions and were taken aside to search their bodies.
Naturally, men have male officers and soldiers to search, and there are also a few aunts who look very shrewd next to them, searching for women.
Anything that could prove their identity is not carried with them now.
As long as this camouflage is not recognized, it is considered a success.
But seeing the meticulousness of those women's body searches, Lin Mengya and Bai Su couldn't help but be a little worried.
Finally, it was the turn of the three of them to be checked, Lin Mengya held extraordinary composure, and gave the aunts who searched the body a silly smile as usual.
But this time, it's obviously not very useful.
The people in charge of searching them were obviously a little unwilling.
After all, the three of them looked dirty, and there was an extremely strong smell of peppercorns on their bodies, and they were a little choking when they got closer.
The fat and rough big hand carefully touched every pocket on her body.
On Qinghu's side, those people's attention fell on the big Luo pot on Qinghu's back.
"Take off your top!"
Suddenly, the official on Qinghu's side put forward this order.
Lin Mengya's heart was immediately nervous, although Luo Guo didn't know what Qinghu was used instead.
But the only thing that is certain is that once you take it off, it must be completely exposed.
Qinghu grabbed the placket of his clothes with both hands, and his face was embarrassed.
"Official, don't want it. The villain's body is a little deformed, and I'm afraid it will scare a few bad masters. ”
But the few guys who searched their bodies were a little impatient, and urged sharply.
"What nonsense, don't hurry up and take it off. If you grind again, I'll put you in jail! ”
In the current situation, Qinghu has to do it.
Tremblingly, he unbuttoned his shirt and took off his coat.
At this time, Lin Mengya and Bai Su had just been checked.
Standing there looking at Qinghu, his heart was beating wildly.
Don't be discovered!
The coat was taken off, and only a sweatshirt remained inside.
Qinghu is indeed the leader in the camouflage world, even the two arms that are exposed, they look like a real old man is flaccid and weak.
And inside the tight-fitting sweatshirt, Luo Guo is still bulging as always.
The smell of sweat and the smell of peppercorns were mixed together, and the officials just frowned and looked at it, then waved their hands in disgust and let them go.
The breath hanging in her heart finally relaxed, and Lin Mengya and Bai Su pretended to help Qinghu.
The three of them were about to turn around and leave, when they heard behind them, and someone stopped them.
"You three, don't go."
The voice was extremely gloomy, and Lin Mengya's heart was uneasy.
Turning around, he saw a guy dressed in silk and satin, riding a horse and walking in front of the three men.
The man looked at the three of them condescendingly, as if he were looking at an object.
"I see that the peppercorns on your car are in good condition, but in Yushan County, I have seen all the pepper farmers. Why haven't you seen such a special person as you three? ”
The man's tone was very soft, Lin Mengya's heart sank, she also knew that all the pepper cultivation in Yushan County was in the hands of the Xin family.
But I didn't want to hit someone's muzzle today.
Qinghu, who was standing between the two of them, immediately bent down and saluted, and said respectfully.
"What this lord said is that we really didn't do pepper business before. It's just that my old wife has a hard life, so I went quietly, and I left our three masters, and I really couldn't live. So my relatives introduced me to this job, at least to find a way out for the three of us. Please raise your noble hand and let the villain go. ”
The tone of grievance is humble and lingering, and it is impossible to find fault at all.
Lin Mengya and Bai Su also snuggled tightly beside Qinghu, trembling, they really looked like stupid girls who had never seen the market.
Feeling the man's gaze, on his body, after looking back and forth for a long time, he squeezed out a cold snort in his nose and eyes.
"I see, then let's go. But according to the rules, you have to pay three-tenths of the tax first. Otherwise, you don't want to take this cart of peppercorns. ”
Three-tenths of a tax? Lin Mengya was angry in her heart.
For example, they are small traders who cover up, and I am afraid that the net profit is not three-tenths.
This guy opens his mouth to pay such a high tax, it's even darker than a crow!
"It's... This... Adult, the villain's cart of peppercorns has just been pulled out, and it hasn't been sold yet. Where do you want me to find these taxes? ”
Qinghu was alert, and put on a sad face at the moment, begging repeatedly.
But the black-hearted official on the horse had no mercy at all, but walked to the side impatiently, letting Qinghu plead on the road with a hoarse voice.
Lin Mengya was extremely angry, if they hadn't pretended to be small traders today, they wouldn't have seen the shamelessness of these people at all.
After that, there were a few small traders selling peppercorns, and when they arrived here, they automatically took out money to make up the taxes.
After seeing the three of them, there was finally a kind little vendor who told them that it was only the first time.
In the future, you can harvest less, endure it and pass.
Qinghu had to get off the donkey, take out the money worth three-tenths of the value of the whole cart of peppercorns, and hand it over to the officials at the city gate before he could pull them and set off on the road.
By this time, the sky had already darkened.
The rest of the well-meaning vendors invited them to go with them, but Qinghu politely declined.
After determining which officers and soldiers at the city gate could not see their figures, Qinghu parked the car in a bush.
"It's finally out, and it's a short walk to where our supplies are. Girl, what's wrong with you? ”
After coming out of Yushan County, Lin Mengya didn't say a word.
