This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 228 Search
There is something fishy about this ship.

Looking at the boat floating slowly on the river, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes revealed a trace of doubt.

"Jinwu Guard enforces the law, stop the ship!!"

Just when Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were full of suspicion, Lu Qifeng stood up and started shouting at the big ship over there.

"Let's go up!"

Lu Qifeng's eyes became sharp, staring at the crew members on the ship over there.

Lu Yuanzhi also moved his Qi machine, and his eyes became extremely deep under the Qi machine. Looking from a distance, Lu Yuanzhi could even see clearly the tamarin hair on the faces of the crew members on the ship.

Under Lu Yuanzhi's observation, he immediately discovered something was wrong. Although the crew members looked small in number, they were all big and round, and there was a hint of military spirit as they walked...

A caravan ship with people on board?

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes narrowed.

After observing, he focused his eyes on Lu Qifeng beside him.

Lu Qifeng's face now looked very dangerous and serious.

It was obvious that Lu Qifeng also felt that something was wrong.

"Stop the boat!"

Another loud shout.

The sound Lu Qifeng drank was like thunder and deafening, even Lu Yuan's fifth-grade breath gathering state was a little overwhelmed.

Obviously he used his own unique skills.

Sure enough, the warriors who come from big families can get a glimpse of their profound background here.

When the merchant ship saw that the flag on the ship was actually Pei Yinlang's, it was too frightened to move.

Before long, the two ships came into contact.

The Jinwu Guards filed in under the leadership of Lu Qifeng, and Lu Yuanzhi also jumped along the deck to the deck of the merchant ship with ten Luan Pei.

"Which company? Where is your person in charge?"

Lu Qifeng had a very good attitude, with a domineering and serious expression on his face. The other crew members all looked solemn when they saw it.

Lu Yuanzhi was observing from the side.

He could tell that when these crew members saw their own personnel, their faces moved slightly, and then they calmed down forcibly.

This psychological quality vaguely confirmed Lu Yuanzhi's thoughts.

Their status is unusual.

"Your Majesty, we are from Tongjiu Trading Company in Hangzhou, and the person in charge is Lao Cao. I wonder why your Majesty called us to stop our ship?"

Just as the two groups of people were sizing each other up, an old man in red slowly walked out of the crowd. He looked calm and composed and definitely not an ordinary old man.

"Oh."

Lu Qifeng looked at the old man with a serious look on his face:

"I am Lu Qifeng, the lieutenant general of the Jinwu Guard in the capital. I am escorting Princess Dayong to Hangzhou. Now that I have encountered your ship, I need to conduct a routine inspection for the princess's safety."

As soon as I heard what Lu Qifeng said, I felt that the donkey's head was wrong.

It's like a forced excuse...

"It turns out to be General Lu! Thank you for your hard work, General Lu."

When he said this, the old man came closer, just one body away from Lu Qifeng. He slowly took out a gold cake from his arms and said with a smile on his face:
"Some of my intentions are disrespectful. I invite the general and brothers to have a drink."

Lu Qifeng looked at the chrysanthemum-like smile on the old man's face and slowly grinned.

Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi frowned.

Aren't you going to take it away? ?
"I understand your thoughts. Brothers have important matters to attend to and cannot drink."

Lu Qifeng looked at the old man expressionlessly:

"For the safety of the princess, we must still check it carefully. Someone come! Check the ship!!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

The old man's face changed color slightly when he saw that Lu Qifeng was out of touch with oil and salt.

"Wait, General!"

Lu Qifeng's face became dangerous, and he stared at the old man with sharp eyes:
"What? You want to resist?"

"I really don't dare to disobey orders. I am just a general." As a general in Beijing, it seems that it is against the rules to inspect our merchant ships in Hangzhou. "

At this time, the old man slowly took out a black iron block from his arms:

"This is the token of our company."

"Oh?"

Lu Qifeng slowly raised his eyebrows, looked at the token handed over by the old man without even looking at it, and said slowly:

"We are only thinking about the safety of the princess. I hope you can cooperate well. After checking the goods, we will leave directly."

He recognized the token, and the word "Yu" on it was eye-catching enough.

But it must be treated as invisible at this time.

"Princess? I wonder which princess is driving?"

Seeing that he had no food and salt, the old man had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask.

"Princess Taiping!"

When this was mentioned, Lu Qifeng's expression became arrogant. He raised his chin and said:
"I wonder if I can check your business name?"

As he spoke, he moved his eyes away from the old man and slowly scanned the crew of about ten people.

"This……"

When the old man heard this, his face turned ugly.

"What? Do you want to refuse to check??"

Lu Qifeng's eyes had narrowed, and his hand slowly moved to the sword at his waist.

"Don't dare."

The old man slowly put away the token in his hand.

There was a hint of warning in his eyes:

"I just hope the general will be careful. Tongjiu Trading Company belongs to King Yu of Hangzhou..."

"You talk a lot!"

Lu Yuanzhi suddenly shouted:
"What? A small business company actually wants to overwhelm me, Princess Dayong??!"

"This official is..."

The old man took a breath slowly and looked deeply at Lu Yuanzhi.

"If you don't change your name when you're working, if you don't change your surname when you're sitting down, it's Pei Yinlang and Lu Yuanzhi!"

A look of arrogance appeared on Lu Yuanzhi's face.

"Oh?"

After the old man heard Lu Yuanzhi announcing his home status, his expression changed slightly:
"Could it be Xiao Lu Fengpei who broke the Buddha formation?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly. He really didn't expect that his fame had spread to other places.

It’s only been a few days since it was full and full?

"It's Sajia."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled slightly.

"We have admired the name for a long time, and since it is Lu Fengpei in person, we will naturally open a position for verification!"

The old man knew that it was easy to say that he was just a general of Jinwu Guard. After all, his official position was not in Hangzhou. But since he was Pei Yinlang, who was supervising hundreds of officials, he had no room for refutation if he wanted to inspect merchant ships.

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled slightly and gave his hand to the ten people behind him:

"Check carefully!"

"Yes!"

The ten Feng Pei saw that their family's reputation had spread to Hangzhou, and the look of pride on their faces was even more lawless.

With that said, the group of people followed the old man directly to the merchant ship's warehouse.

The merchant ship's warehouse is not small.

Everyone looked from a distance and saw a warehouse full of goods at a glance.

Lu Yuanzhi looked intently, but didn't see anything special.

Some of the less expensive goods are basically exposed and open on the shelves. At a quick glance, they are basically tea, porcelain, grain and other worthless things.

"what is that?"

Lu Yuanzhi saw a shelf full of boxes.

"Thanks to Lu Fengpei, those are the Pian Yun yarns produced exclusively by my Tongjiu company."

"Oh?"

There was a trace of curiosity on Lu Yuanzhi's face:
"What is Chan Yunsha?"

"Open it and show it to Lu Fengpei."

The old man smiled softly and said to the servant beside him.

"Yes."

The servant stepped forward and opened the box.

A box of cloth in excellent condition was revealed.

Seeing this piece of cloth, Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were slightly startled.

It is indeed a good thing. Just by looking at it, you can tell that the fabric is much higher-end than the black brocade and white jade on my body.

You know, Peiyinlang Yamen's black brocade and white jade are made of different brocades according to grade, and the brocade on Lu Yuanzhi's body is simply unaffordable to ordinary people.

"Um……"

Seeing this, Lu Yuanzhi nodded slowly, "It's indeed a good thing."

"If Lu Fengpei likes it, you can take two of them." The old man stroked his beard and smiled leisurely.

"Need not."

Lu Yuanzhi waved his hand and refused. His eyes were focused on other goods. As he watched his men inspecting them one by one, he always felt that something was wrong.

But can't tell.

"There is a better Yunsha here, would Lu Fengpei want to take a look?"

The old man smiled and led Lu Yuanzhi to another shelf.

Lu Yuanzhi nodded.

"Open."

The old man smiled and waved to the slave beside him.

After the servant stepped forward and opened it, Lu Yuanzhi's pupils shrank slightly.

Because the box is filled with pure golden cloth.

"This is a gold silk cloud yarn specially provided for the royal family. It is slowly sewn stitch by stitch by our top craftsmen."

When the old man talked about the fine cloud gauze, his face showed pride.

"Oh."

Lu Yuanzhi frowned.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong.

"For the record, Mr. Lu, no."

"Boss, there is nothing suspicious."

"........."

After a while, the rest of Pei Yin Lang Luan Pei also came back.

The Jinwu Guard followed Lu Qifeng's investigation and found nothing.

Weird.

Lu Yuanzhi and Lu Qifeng both looked a little unhappy.

There is indeed nothing suspicious about the cargo on this ship.

"Is there any hidden layer that we haven't found?"

Lu Qifeng and Lu Yuanzhi walked out of the warehouse, Lu Qifeng asked solemnly.

"The cost of building merchant ships here is extremely high. If you change it, it will inevitably be damaged. If you change the dark layer, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Lu Yuanzhi shook his head slowly, and then he was suddenly startled:
"and many more!!"

"What? Could it be that Brother Lu discovered something?"

Lu Qifeng's attention was instantly attracted to Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi said slowly:

"There are still a few boxes that I haven't checked just now."

Lu Yuanzhi finally remembered what he had forgotten.

I only opened one of the boxes containing the Yun Yun gauze and looked at it. The old man's attention was attracted by the old man behind it. When I saw the box I had checked, my subordinates did not come over to check it, which led to that Several boxes were left unchecked.

"go!"

Lu Qifeng's expression instantly became solemn, and he followed Lu Yuanzhi and the others back.

"Why is the official back again?"

Seeing the two people rushing over, the old man said with a smile on his face:
"Did I forget to bring something? By the way, I just picked up a money bag in the warehouse. It should have been dropped by the two officials."

As he said that, the old man took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to the two of them with a smile.

Seeing the old man being so pretentious, Lu Yuanzhi couldn't help but admire him.

This kind of bureaucracy is the most annoying thing.

"No, I just made some mistakes during the inspection. I need to check again."

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the old man indifferently and did not reach out to take the money bag.

Lu Qifeng was more direct, taking out his wallet from his arms and saying:
"The Sa family's are not lost."

……

The old man's expression hardened.

Then, he forced a smile and said:

"Since no one claims it, let me take advantage of it."

As he spoke, he put the money bag back into his arms.

Lu Yuanzhi and Lu Qifeng looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

After entering the warehouse, Lu Yuanzhi went directly to the box containing Yun Yunsha without hesitation.

"Open all."

Lu Yuanzhi said to the old man in a cold voice.

"Yes."

The old man's face turned ugly.

He reached out tremblingly and slowly opened one of the boxes.

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyebrows and saw that Yun Yunsha was still lying quietly in the box.

As the boxes were opened one by one, Lu Yuanzhi's face slowly became more and more ugly.

It is indeed full of Pian Yunsha.

"Master, look at this..."

The old man looked at Lu Yuanzhi carefully.

Lu Yuanzhi frowned. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but the next moment, his body stopped.

Yun Yunsha...

It gives people the feeling that it can only be viewed from a distance, but not played with. .

But who knows what is hidden under that veil?
After Lu Yuanzhi figured it out, he stepped forward directly, reached out and opened the Yun Yun Sha in one of the boxes.

"My lord, this... Yunsha yarn is precious and must not be touched..."

The old man's expression suddenly became unnatural, mixed with a hint of excitement.

Hearing this tone, Lu Yuanzhi knew that there was definitely something wrong with the old man.

He didn't listen to the old man's words and directly lifted off the remaining Yun Yun gauze.

Sure enough, a palpable white color was revealed under the lifted veil!

This is……

"Nitre?!"

Lu Yuanzhi instantly became alert.

His expression changed slightly, he turned to look at the pale old man and said slowly:

"what is that?"

A drop of sweat ran down the old man's forehead.

"Pun Yun yarn is not easy to preserve. This stone can protect it from insect bites."

The old man slowly explained the reason.

"Oh?"

Lu Yuanzhi raised his eyes and looked at the old man:
"Does that mean you know what this thing is?"

As he spoke, Lu Yuanzhi took out the saltpeter and played with it in his hands, staring at the old man with a playful expression on his face.

"Of course... I know."

"Then do you know what this thing is used for?"

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes turned cold.

"do not know."

The old man shook his head: "I only know that this thing can prevent Yunsha from being destroyed by insects."

"That's it."

Lu Yuanzhi smiled coldly, and then lifted off all the top layers of the Yun Yun gauze on the next few boxes.

Pieces of saltpeter were all exposed.

"What? A few pieces of cloth require more than half a box of saltpeter??"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at the old man and said:

"Where did this come from?"

"Picked randomly from the mountains."

The old man looked at Lu Yuanzhi blankly.

Seeing that he is still pretending...

Lu Yuanzhi stopped pretending and directed his men:
"Take them all down!!"

As he spoke, he stared at the old man and said:

"Saltpeter is the main raw material for making firearms..."

After hearing what he said, Lu Qifeng, who was still at a loss, suddenly changed his expression.

Firearms are items that are banned from private circulation by Emperor Yong's Ming Dynasty.

"Old guy, where did this thing come from, and where is it going to be transported to? You must recruit it to me, the general!"
