Chapter 305: Gun Leakage
People had to bow their heads under the low eaves, and the rich businessmen felt that they had come to the wrong place, but they could only admit that they were unlucky.
Just as he wanted to cross the border, who knew that the errand officer pulled out another Codonopsis from his pile of goods.
"In order to collect taxes on the canal, I come and go in the wind and rain, you should always give me a little hard money, I don't want too much, this party belongs to me."
These goods were originally only half of the profits, and if they refuted them like this, even if they entered Hangzhou City, they could only save their capital.
The rich businessman wanted to cry without tears, so he had to admit bad luck.
Immediately, it was Lu Ning's turn to ship, and the other party squinted, looking at Lu Ning, Luo Guanzhong, and a few subordinates waiting around him without speaking.
"There aren't enough people on your boat, so let me come out and be inspected obediently. Otherwise, you're welcome! ”
Lu Ning didn't want to cause trouble, so he screamed into the cabin. His wife Li Xinmin walked out with the two maids beside him.
The official took a look at it, and immediately couldn't take his eyes off it.
"There are fifteen people on your boat, one person hangs the money, a total of fifteen hangs, pay the money."
Fu Bo listened to Lu Ning's instructions, and he didn't dare to cause trouble, so he took out a few privately minted pieces of loose silver from his money bag.
"This poor master, we don't have much copper money in our hands, only this little bit of loose silver, about fifteen taels and one yuan, and the extra money will invite you to drink."
The official messenger asked someone to take the scales, and weighed it, and it was heavier than what Fauber said, about fifteen taels and one cents.
Fauber thought that this time was right, and he should be able to pass.
Who knew that the official pointed a gun at him.
"Old thing, do you dare to fool me with such silver, don't you want to live?"
Fauber was stunned and asked helplessly.
"This lord, it's just nothing, this silver is only a lot more."
The official glared at him: "Your silver is not in good condition, only seventy percent, and after deducting thirty percent of the impurities, there are only ten taels and five cents left." ”
In fact, copper coins are still circulating in the market, and the reason why silver is not very circulating is that on the one hand, the balance is rare, and on the other hand, the purity of silver is easy to dispute.
In fact, although the silver of Fubo was privately cast by a silversmith outside, its fineness is also quite high, if not full, it is enough to be ninety-five.
In the market, this should be very pure.
This official stared and told nonsense, obviously trying to blackmail his money.
Fauber was not happy when he heard this, and directly retorted.
"This poor master, there is no such thing as you, this is obviously ninety percent of the silver, but you just say that it is seventy percent, isn't this a slander?"
Before he finished speaking, the official sneered: "In a word, do you want to die or money?" ”
As he spoke, he pulled the bolt and loaded the bullet.
Fu Bo glanced at Lu Ning, and Lu Ning nodded.
He was helpless, so he took out two more ingots of loose silver from a large amount and handed them to the official.
I thought that this time he could lift the pole and let the boat pass, who knew that the other party suddenly pointed a gun at the three women behind Lu Ning.
"Men can go, women must stay, this is our rule!"
This time, Fu Bo was furious, and just wanted to reason with the official, but was stopped by Lu Ning.
"This poor master, I have something to tell my master, that he is an errand runner who is not sensible."
The official squinted at him, "I said what are you doing?" Why do you have a long sword around your waist? ”
Lu Ning replied quietly.
"I am a talent from Yingtianfu, and I am famous. According to the rules of the imperial court, Xiucai can go out and travel again, and there is no need for a guide. ”
As he spoke, he took out the famous talent card he often carried, and the official couldn't find fault with it, so he had to return it to him.
"You and your boat can pass, these three women must stay!"
Lu Ning was a little impatient.
"Why?"
The official sneered: "I suspect that they are the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, and they should be brought back for a closer look!" ”
Hearing this guy say so much, Lu Ning's eyes became stern.
"Poor master, don't talk nonsense if you don't have any evidence, people's lives are at stake."
The official pointed to the other maid next to Li Xinmin, Nuan Yun, and said.
"She's holding a lotus flower in her hand, it's not from the White Lotus Sect, why is she holding a white lotus?"
Lu Ning was so angry that he kept rubbing something with his hands, and at this time, a strong aroma came out, and everyone smelled it and felt very strange.
The official sneered.
"Why are you carrying spices on a passenger ship? This is a mixed loading of passengers and goods, and it must be severely cracked down. There are also remnants of the White Lotus Sect hidden on the ship, and I think you are a group of thieves. It's all here today! ”
As he spoke, he picked up the gun and pointed it at Lu Ning.
At this time, the fragrance around Lu Ning became heavier and heavier, and he suddenly remembered the divine drama he had watched in his previous life, so he said.
"I bet you don't have a bullet in your gun."
The official sneered and replied.
"When death is dying, there is no one who is so hard-mouthed."
As he spoke, he was about to pull the trigger, but who knew that at this moment, he suddenly felt that his limbs were soft, and he fell on the official ship with a bang.
Lu Ning's eyes were quick, and without waiting for the official next to him to react, he snatched the gun and held it in his hand.
At this time, the other officials finally reacted and jumped onto Lu Ning's boat one after another.
It's just that although they have Mauser guns and bullets, they only have this one, and the rest of them still have waist knives and water and fire sticks in their hands.
Lu Ning sneered: "If any of you dare to step forward, Lao Tzu will kill him immediately!" ”
At this time, the other officials finally reacted and scared him with a fake tiger.
"Boy, you're in a big deal, the acquaintance quickly put down the gun, and we can still say a few nice words in front of the prefect, otherwise, your family will be all over the house!"
