The first update

It seems that the old sayings that can be passed down are all truths, and they have been trained through hundreds of generations. For example, the words 'people don't help themselves and the sky can't help' came to Lao Qi.

Lao Qi picked up the old family, and while asking someone to stop the car, he showed his identity and faced the customs, "Why don't you check?" ”

"If you go back to your father, this is the embassy's car, and you don't need to check it according to the rules." Although he also knew that the seventh master who had just shown his prince's token had been demoted to the Duke of the Auxiliary Kingdom, he was not that stupid, and he understood very well that even if he was demoted to the Duke of the Auxiliary Kingdom, he would be a hundred levels higher than him.

"Now I want you to check." Lao Qi stared at that one, and the soldiers of the Seventh Master's Mansion had already surrounded those cars. Lao Qi has also been a governor outside for so many years, and there are still 3,000 dings in the broken ship, and this time he brought back all kinds of treasures, and the guards he brought with him were all his personal guards. At this time, he waved his hand, and everyone raised their guns in unison.

The customs didn't know anything, just now the eunuch only said that he would accept the horse, and he didn't say anything else. Generally speaking, they will let them go after receiving the receipt, although this time there is no order, but when people come to the palace, everyone will do it according to the previous rules. Of course, the previous rule was that what was in it should be found out when others didn't care.

He hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand to Lao Qiyi, "Seventh Master, can you take a step to speak." ”

Lao Qi looked left and right, but still followed, and went into the customs to find an empty corner.

The customs thought about it, and arched his hand to Lao Qi again: "Seventh master, this place is full of gunpowder, and there are some very heavy equipment, although the time is too tight to find out what is there, but according to the slave, it should be a small steel cannon." It can't be said that the queen mother secretly let them transport the fresh toys from the mainland, which are of great use, since the top said, it's okay. Don't look at it! ”

This is the old customs, and there are a lot of things to do, and people say so, in fact, it is also for the sake of the old seven. At this juncture, don't make any more trouble.

Lao Qi is just a little indecisive, but people are not stupid. When he first listened, he actually understood that this person was really for his good. But at this moment, he knew that he had to meet the emperor's brother quickly, and he had to protect his family first. These days on the boat, I also figured out that as long as I don't make trouble anymore, the fourth brother still has to return the prince to him, and the sixth brother has been demoted to a commoner. He is their closest brother, and if something happens, the fourth brother doesn't look good.

"Since it's a gift to the imperial sister-in-law, that ...... The public is tired, accompany them into the palace, such a dangerous thing, it's better not to do something on the road. Lao Qi said in a deep voice.

The customs smiled, that's right, as long as Lao Qi didn't break the seal, but followed the convoy together, everyone looked good.

Outside, on the dock, the official of the embassy was already sweating profusely, and the men who came in as grooms were also nervous, they were all dressed in sailors' clothes, and they didn't even have daggers on them in order to get through. Against a group of guards with guns, they were timid.

These people, at first glance, have practiced, even if they have guns, they may not be able to kill these people, let alone now they are bare-handed. Everyone thinks together, doesn't it mean that no one here can use guns? These soldiers did not associate the large annual military purchases with the army here.

Waiting for the customs and Lao Qi to come out together, except for the one who held the gun, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the customs with great anticipation.

"This lord, the auxiliary country is just going to enter the palace to ask the emperor for his post, knowing that this is a gift to the queen's mother, he said very generously that he wants to send you into the palace, so as not to make mistakes on the way to tribute." The customs immediately said to the embassy officer in fluent English, and with a face, 'Are you happy, are you surprised?' ’

"No need, my lord, these are fodder, and these are grooms......"

The customs frowned slightly, "My lord, the reason for the exemption is because this is a tribute to the queen's mother, and the lower officials have no right to inspect it." And according to the rules, the tribute can only be sent directly to the palace, including the groom! If it fails, the lower officials can only withhold these tributes and have them received by the court. ”

They use English, but Lao Qi has also known that this is very important over the years, so he deliberately found someone who understands English to come back to be the master, and now, the master has translated what the two said to Lao Qi.

Lao Qi sneered, and now, he felt that he might have really succeeded in saving himself. looked at the foreigners who were already sweating profusely with a smile on their faces.

The result, of course, was predictable, and the officials of the embassy thought about it, leaving them in the warehouses of the customs office. Then he had to leave with the groom. However, it is obviously not possible to do this either, because the grooms are also part of the tribute, otherwise they would not even be qualified to go ashore. Or, these people can only stay on board. Of course, the ship cannot stay in the port for a long time, it will affect the shipping, or these people can stay in the detention center of the customs and wait for them to complete the formalities before leaving.

The officials grinded their teeth lightly and decided to 'protest' and want to take back the gifts, but they didn't give them. Ask them to return the horses, and they will leave immediately, but the Chinese side will be held responsible.

The customs smiled, just pointed to the huge warning sign on the sentry box, which was written in Chinese, English and French, clearly and clearly, please go through the customs entry procedures according to the regulations!

They understand very well that you don't have the entry procedures, so they are not afraid of where you go.

"My lord, in fact, if it is you below, return the things and people, and Great China is not without grooms and fodder, so why bother?" Customs is still an honest smile.

The embassy officials know very well that if these things really let the Chinese side find out, then, it is not that they want to go to war with the Chinese side, but that the Chinese side is going to war against them. This kind of low-level mistake must not happen. He grinded his teeth and returned the cargo to the ship along with the groom.

Then the embassy official directly let the boat go away, watching the boat go, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, his face immediately showed anger, "Your Excellency, I will protest to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Thank you for supporting the work of the lower officials, if you have any comments, please respond to this customs in time, and this customs will deal with it in a timely manner!" The customs still had a smile on their faces, which was very decent.

The ambassador grinded his teeth, but he couldn't say a word, flicked his sleeves, jumped into a light carriage, and left quickly.

"You're good, what's your name?"

"Xiaguan Zeng Jize!" The young official was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of Lao Qiyi.

Lao Qi nodded and looked at the customs building behind him, "It's a bit condescending!" ”

Zeng Jize didn't say anything, smiled at him, and arched again, the next ship arrived, and they were busy!
