Chapter 278: Xiahou Yuanwei
"Officials, it's a hot day, you take two cold melons to quench your thirst, and this tomato, I'll put a cloth bag for you."
Seeing that there was something wrong with this posture, Hu Liu hurriedly took out two cold melons and sent them to the leading officers and soldiers, while speaking, Wu Er next to him saw this, picked up the cloth bag, and filled it with a bag full of tomatoes, and sent it to the officials with both hands.
A cold gourd sells for dozens of taels of silver, two cold gourds are eighty or ninety taels, plus this bag of tomatoes, there are at least ten catties, in fact, the two of them are very painful in their hearts, but in the face of these snakes, they know that they should be willing to give up, otherwise they will lose more.
Looking at the watermelon in front of him, as well as the bulging bag of tomatoes, a few officials opened the cloth bag, took out a few tomatoes from it, and ate it with a swagger.
After a bite, several officials and messengers all had eyebrows lit up, and then looked at Wu Er and Hu Liu, who were full of flattery.
"Heh, this fruit is really good, I heard that your fruit is several taels of silver a catty, and this cold melon, which is generally only given by the royal family of the Western Dynasty, and the nobles of our Dongfeng Kingdom can eat it, and you actually came to this Yueyang City to sell it?"
What does it mean? Could it be that they are the finest work of the Western Late Kingdom?
Listening to the words of the official, Hu Liu's mind was spinning rapidly, and just when Hu Liu was thinking about how to respond to these words, who knew that the few younger brothers behind the chief official had already eaten a tomato and came up directly.
"It seems that they are not from our Dongfeng Kingdom, and it doesn't look like their accent, so their identity must not be simple, let's arrest them first."
"Yes, yes, they also said that these cold melons and this fruit were planted by themselves, hehe, this cow is inevitably too good to blow, this cold melon we Dongfeng and the Northern Kingdom and the Lanyue Dynasty can't grow it, just rely on them, can they grow it? It seems that it must be the elaborate work of the Western Dynasty, which just wants to blend in with our Dongfeng, and I don't know what I want to do. ”
A few officials sent you to say a word, and Hu Liu and Wu Er, who were about to be able to speak well, were speechless and unable to refute.
The official at the head of the errand saw the panicked appearance of the two, and the corners of his mouth slowly pouted with a touch of sarcasm and greed.
If he confiscated so many cold melons and the fruit, and sold them again, wouldn't he be rich?
"No, no, we are not from the end of the West, a few officials, we are the people at the border of the wild land, and we are the people of the Eastern Seal Kingdom."
Seeing this, Hu Liu hurriedly explained.
And at this time, even if they say that the people of their own wild land are not good, after all, if they want to pass the level of Dongfeng, they must have the documents for customs clearance, where did they get the customs clearance documents for those who are exiled as criminals?
As a last resort, Hu Liu hurriedly made up such an identity.
"People at the border? The border is more than 200 miles away from here, so many county towns you don't go, go so far to Yue Yangcheng to sell? Besides, your accent is not at all like our Dongfeng, don't talk nonsense, whether you are Dongfeng or not, take out your household registration, and you will know the truth when you check it. ”
Where did they come from?
As soon as he heard the official's words, Hu Liu panicked even more.
At this time, it was completely impossible for the dozens of brothers in the distance to come forward, and they would definitely be interrogated together, and they saw that Hu Liu and Wu Er were surrounded by officers and soldiers, so they could only do something in a hurry, but they couldn't do anything.
"Master Guan, I, we forgot to bring it, we didn't think about bringing the household registration at all when we went out in a hurry, this is also the first time we have gone out of the door so far, and I don't know if we came here and have to check the household registration."
When Hu Liu was in a panic, he had to make up such an excuse.
But obviously, these officials are not so easy to fool at all.
"Boss, I think they just have ghosts, and they can even grow these precious cold melons, and they don't know that they have to bring a household registration when they go far away? Directly arrest them and bring them back to the good students for interrogation, that is, they will know. ”
As soon as he heard this, Wu Er's face changed, and he endured it, after all, he took out a piece of paper directly from his arms and hurriedly handed it to the official messenger headed by him.
And Hu Liu was already flustered and at a loss, who knew that the official picked up Wu Er's paper and looked at it, and then there was no reaction on his face, so he returned it directly to Wu Er.
"Yours."
Wu Erzheng, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, thought that they had passed the test in a fool this time, but who knew that the official sent Hu Liu to arrest him and continued to interrogate.
"He, he really didn't bring it, we are together."
"Oh, you are all together, who can prove that since he has no papers, then arrest him and take away the two wagons of fruit."
As soon as the official gave an order, Hu Liu and Wu Er immediately panicked, and even the dozens of brothers not far away hurriedly stood up, just wanting to rush forward.
"Wait!"
Just when the dozen or so brothers wanted to rush forward and fight with those officials, suddenly a woman's voice sounded, directly scolding those officials!
At the last moment, Wu Er's Hu Liu's heart was raised to his throat, who knew that this familiar voice fell from the sky, startling the two and dozens of brothers in the distance, all of whom were dumbfounded.
"Little ......"
"What is the difference between you and a robber? If you want to take these melons and fruits of others for nothing, you can say it clearly, why do you need to use such a banner and interrogate to the end? ”
Yu Luo's sudden appearance made Hu Liu, who was muttering to himself, directly soften.
He knew Yu Luo's identity, and he was also an exiled criminal of the Lanyue Dynasty, but when their young lady came out at this time, didn't she continue to give these officials heads?
reacted, Hu Liujiang almost blurted out the word "Miss", and swallowed it stiffly.
Although he was worried about his own young lady, he had to wait and see what happened at this time.
"Who are you? I advise you to be less nosy. ”
looked at the person who came, wearing a snow-white skirt, but the hair accessories were extremely simple, and the appearance was outstanding, but there was no valuable thing on the body.
After scanning Yu Luo's body up and down, the official led by him suddenly lost his anger when he thought about Yu Luo's unkind words just now.
If Yu Luo hadn't said such ugly words just now, she would have been embarrassed by her rare appearance, and the officials wouldn't want to embarrass her, but she shouldn't have pierced their filthy thoughts in front of so many people.
"This is my household registration, see for yourself."
Yu Luo took out an old piece of paper and handed it directly to the head official, who saw this, grabbed it unconvinced, and looked at it carefully with a black face.
"Xiahou Yuanwei? You, you ......! ”
