In the panic of Diao Nu and his master, the boat gradually rose.
The people down to the feet were like ants.
The proud servant, the energetic boatman, and the master were all lying on the boat, fearing that if they accidentally fell off, they would be shattered to pieces.
At the same time, the master kept praying, "Fairy grandparents, I don't know where I have offended you. Please, please, please spare me. I will never dare to do it again. I will keep my tail between my legs in the future."
As a human being, I will burn incense for you all day long."
Lu Bai's ears and eyes were sharp and he took these words to heart.
He had an idea and thought that the impact of this heaven on the real world was similar to that of his domain. He wondered if he could absorb merit points in the real world if he created a god in his domain, which is commonly known as a trumpet.
Lu Bai thinks he can try it in the future.
Not anymore.
As soon as his mind moved, the boat flying into the sky suddenly fell, frightening the people on the boat out of their wits. The people under the boat screamed loudly, but when it was about the same time, the boat slowly stopped again, then moved horizontally and carefully placed it on the high ground.
On the tall locust tree.
On the bank and on the river, everyone was stunned.
Lu Bai's position was very clever. If the people on the boat made the slightest move or made a mistake, they would be in danger of falling off.
Lu Bai was very satisfied with his prank.
He clapped his hands and watched the ship move on.
Without this troublesome ship, Lu Bai and his fleet quickly arrived in front of the water gate.
**
There is a water gate in front of the water gate.
They stood on the high platform bored, checking the goods and seals on the passing ships from time to time. They looked listless, especially like social animals who had not rested for several days, yawning continuously.
"What the hell, where did Lao Guan die?" One of the interrogators yawned boredly and asked the person next to him while squeezing tears from his eye sockets.
The person next to him shook his head, "I don't know. I didn't come yesterday. Could it be that I fell into some girl's boat and couldn't get off?"
The interrogator smiled and finally squeezed out the tears from his yawn, "It's hard to say, this guy is rich. The position of Shuiguan Supervisor is just extra money for him."
The person next to me became interested and asked, "Are the rumors true?"
Rumor has it that Lao Guan was originally a businessman and traveled to and from the capital every year. Because freight often traveled by water, he was often exploited and exploited by Shuiguan. In a rage, Lao Guan bought the official position of Shuiguan, and then he no longer had to be exploited.
.
Of course, this is just a rumor.
But listening to what the interrogator said, the people next to me thought it was true.
"Of course it's true." The interrogator said, "I was the one who pointed out this clear path to Lao Guan."
At this point, the interrogator wondered, "What are everyone looking up at outside?"
He poked his head out of the water hole under the city gate, looked up, and immediately exclaimed: "Oh my God, look, there is a ship flying in the sky."
The people next to me were confused and said, "What are you talking about? How can it be possible to fly in the sky? My God, there are really ships flying in the sky."
They were stunned by this scene. They watched the boat getting higher and higher, and then watched the boat fall. They shrank their necks in fear. Only when the boat was placed on the locust tree did they slowly come back to their senses. Then the people next to them seemed like
Thoughtfully, "You said this ship is going to fly into the city gate like this, should we check it?"
"To check your uncle, let's check these ships first -" the interrogator said angrily.
He discovered that while they were looking up at the spaceship, many ships had slipped in silently because the water door had not been closed in time.
This is not bad.
Every time a ship sneaks in, they receive less money.
This Shuiguan is a good job. Why is it a good job? It’s because the money was stolen from the merchants.
The interrogator waved his hand and asked the people below to stop the current boat.
"This is a passenger ship." The person next to him reminded him.
These passenger ships generally have no fuel or water.
"It doesn't matter what kind of ship it is, we have to check it." The person who checked it had to hurry up to make up for his shortcomings.
He came down from the water tower and jumped onto the boat, "What did you bring for a routine inspection?"
The boatman stepped forward and said with a smile: "My lord, I am an official family member."
If this were the past, the interrogators would definitely ask about the official family members, but now they are eager to make up for the shortfall and said angrily: "What happened to the official family members, the official family members must also be investigated!"
The boatman was startled and looked behind him.
Lu Bai stood behind the boatman. He nodded, "Enforcement of the law should be impartial. Please investigate."
Before coming to the capital, Lu Bai had set up a character for himself - to be an upright person. Only in this way could he solve major cases and important cases, thereby improving himself. Therefore, following rules is the most important quality.
.
Now, of course, we cannot exercise our privileges just because the interrogator enforces the law impartially.
I'm going to do this today. When Lu Bai solves the case mercilessly in the future, others will use this as an excuse.
Unexpectedly, the person doing the interrogation was not trying to enforce the law impartially.
He glanced at Lu Bai and saw that he was so easy to talk to, so he was probably not a high-ranking official, so he didn't even look at Lu Bai's official diploma - there was no money to be made from this thing, and the fuel of passenger ships was already small, so he had to get straight to the point.
for example--
He walked to the warehouse and saw a lot of wine jars inside. He frowned and said, "These have to be declared tax. Are you not doing wine smuggling under the guise of a passenger ship?"
The disciples who followed Lu Bai smiled and said, "Sir, we drank all this wine ourselves."
"You drank it yourself? Only a ghost can believe it." He couldn't help but said, "Remember to file the tax return."
He walked to the side of the salute again and said, "Open these and let me take a look."
Disciple Lu Bai shook his head, "These are all clothes, and some of them are close-fitting clothes. It's inconvenient to check. Please forgive me."
"Open it!" the interrogator shouted, "How do I know if you are secretly smuggling it like that wine?"
Disciple Lu Bai's face sank, "Sir, those wines were not smuggled, they were indeed consumed by us. Our sect is somewhat special -"
"Open it!" the interrogator interrupted him rudely.
He now made up his mind that Lu Bai was a minor official from Beijing.
There are so many officials in the capital. If you hit ten of them with a brick, you will kill five who are officials, three who are preparing to become officials, and the remaining two who are preparing to buy officials.
But not all officials have rights.
Officials with power and backing are all arrogant and domineering. They will not let them investigate like this. They have already cursed at them. If this official lets them investigate like this, he must be an insignificant official in an insignificant position.
Since he was a minor official, the interrogators naturally did not take him seriously.
Because despite the fact that the person doing the interrogation is a small official at Shuiguan, this is a fat job. Many people would rather not be an official than work hard to work here, just for the sake of getting rich.
It's not easy to be an errand in this place. Having money is not the most important thing. The most important thing is to have connections.
The person doing the interrogation has a way.
That's why he was so unscrupulous.
Lu Bai's disciple stood still, and just as he was about to introduce himself disdainfully, Yun Niang opened the curtain and walked in.
The interrogator was startled, this little girl is quite handsome.
Yun Niang knew what was going on after just one glance, "These luggages aren't ready for tax filing, are they?"
If the luggage still has to be declared tax, then no one will need to enter the capital.
The interrogator coughed and said, "You have too much luggage."
Yun Niang followed closely, "There are many of us."
The interrogator still wanted to speak, so Lu Bai sent Jin Yiwei over to urge him, "Is the interrogation over? There are still many boats waiting to enter the city."
The interrogator was shocked, "You have too many drinks and a lot of luggage. By the way, you said there are many people? I also suspect that you are suspected of human trafficking. This is a big problem. I think your master should not be too anxious.
I’ll check it out for a while.”
"What!" The Jin Yiwei sent by Lu Bai was surprised.
Everyone was on duty, and Jin Yiwei could tell that the person doing the interrogation was asking for money.
He looked up and down at the interrogators, "Are all the servants in the capital so courageous?"
The interrogator was still talking when he heard someone outside shouting: "The Queen Mother's decree!"
Then, the noisy surroundings suddenly quieted down, you could hear a pin drop, and the fish on the river didn't dare to come out and spit bubbles for a while.
The person who was checking in the cabin was startled and hurriedly bowed. Suddenly he remembered that he was in the cabin, so he straightened his body again. He murmured in his heart that this was the first time that the Queen Mother Yi Zhi had been sent to Shuiguan. I don't know.
Who has such great ability?
The eunuch read out the imperial edict in a sharp voice. The content was very brief, probably a long sentence about how he missed seeing her for a long time, and asked Gu Qing to enter the palace to see him.
"Gu Qing?" The interrogator finally knew who was so capable, but they didn't know who this person was.
It stands to reason that the person who can bring the Queen Mother to Shuiguan to invite him should not be an unknown person. The person who conducted the interrogation is also an old man, and he has never heard of anything in the capital, but who is this Gu Qing in comparison.
But don't mention it, Gu Qing's name is really familiar to him.
He heard someone agree in a calm tone, and then accepted the Queen Mother's decree.
The interrogator became even more curious. The promise was made with ease, and it seemed that he was a capable person who had experienced ups and downs. However, the sound was clear and sweet, like the cheerful cry of an oriole, the best in the tiles.
These two temperaments were originally blended together like a masterpiece, revealing a charm that convinces people.
The eunuch outside spoke in a humble tone, "Miss Gu, the carriage is ready, please."
"Thank you." Gu Qinghuan nodded.
Yun Niang glanced at the interrogator, walked out, helped Lu Qinghuan get ashore from a short distance, and then got into the carriage, along with several of Lu Bai's female disciples.
Lu Bai felt worried and shouted: "Wait a minute!"
Gu Qinghuan was about to go in, but when he heard this, he turned around and looked at Lu Bai.
"Master Zhenfu, you——" The eunuch looked at Lu Bai.
Lu Bai exchanged something on the panel, got back into the cabin, threw it into the air, and a maid appeared in front of Lu Bai.
This is a puppet.
Lu Bai got a puppet prop from a lottery a few days ago. This puppet is not of much use. The only problem is that it can be placed next to others as eyes and ears, which is equivalent to a remote camera.
Lu Bai originally thought it was useless, but he didn't expect it to be useful now.
He was not monitoring Gu Qinghuan, but for extra protection. This palace was as deep as the sea. Who knew what would happen inside, so extra protection would be a good thing.
If anything goes wrong, Lu Bai shrinks down and can arrive in the blink of an eye. Lu Qinghuan will be fine.
Lu Bai came up with this idea and led the woman turned into a puppet out of the cabin, "Let her go with you."
Lu Qinghuan blinked. Although she didn't know where this person came from, she trusted Lu Bai, so she didn't say anything and just nodded.
Lu Bai snapped his fingers and used his telekinesis to make the puppet fly up and send it to Gu Qinghuan.
Only then did Gu Qinghuan get into the car.
"Master Lu, take your leave."
The eunuch who read out the Queen Mother's decree bowed his hand to Lu Bai, mounted his horse, and led the people towards the city.
Bone!
The wheel turned, taking away Gu Qinghuan, and also took away the souls of many people.
So stunning!
The onlookers were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a more charming woman who was completely washed away. No, it would be more appropriate to call her a fairy, because when this woman moved her hands and feet, and when her beautiful eyes looked around, there was no doubt that there was something different about her.
Stocks do not belong to the immortal spirit of the human world.
This woman should only exist in heaven, not in the human world.
After a long time, people came back to their senses. They were amazed and sighed again and again. I don’t know where the girl was born with such a mark. Now she was announced to the palace by the Queen Mother. Could it be the Emperor——
For a time, many people became jealous of the emperor.
They didn't think about anything else for a while, because the fourth Miss Gu was named Jinghua, and very few people knew her name Gu Qing. Even if they knew, it would be difficult to connect her with Gu Qinghuan because Gu Qinghuan was too young.
She is so young that she is a girl in her twenties.
This was of course due to Lu Bai's improvement in realm. The aura released as he improved his realm and opened up the realm of drinking and singing, benefited Gu Qinghuan a lot, and the first one was Gu Qinghuan's body.
The car completely disappeared from sight, but the onlookers were still talking about it.
After the discussion came to no result, people looked at Lu Bai's boat.
If you know the identity of this boat, you may know where the woman came from.
However, some people don't use it.
For example, the interrogating officer, as an old man in the capital, muttered the name of Gu Qing and thought of the relationship between the Queen Mother and Gu Qing. He finally remembered that the fourth Miss Gu who was famous in Beijing at that time was named Gu Qing.
At that time, people also said that Miss Gu Si was a woman who was not inferior to men, so no wonder her name sounded like a man's.
Since that person is Miss Gu Si, then this ship——
Lu Bai!
During the interrogation, the young official guessed Lu Bai's identity.
It's not hard to guess.
He was in Shuiguan business, and there were countless merchants traveling from north to south. He had long known that "Miss Gu Si is still alive, and his nephew has entered the realm of cultivation at a young age. He dares to kill people from Yiqiu Villa. He is a rare genius."
These messages have been passed on countless times.
He also knew that this genius was now the governor of Nanzhen.
Wait a moment!
The little official who was interrogating suddenly thought that the person he was interrogating and preparing to extort, wouldn't it be——
After interrogating the junior officials, he took a look at Jin Yiwei standing at the door. He finally understood what Jin Yiwei was talking about when he said that the junior officials were brave.
He wished he could give himself a slap.
He was so courageous that he even found out that the Nanzhen governor and Miss Gu Si were on board.
At the same time, the interrogation officer complained to Lu Bai, why didn't such a high-ranking official know how to bully a low-level official? Even if he cursed or kicked him, he would definitely think he was a high-ranking official and would not dare to do so.
Come to rip off someone.
He had already mastered this rule when investigating the grievances of a minor official, and other high-ranking officials treated him the same way. He had already mastered this rule, and it had not gone wrong for more than ten years. Who would have thought that Lu Bai did not follow the routine and made his rule go wrong.
