Chapter 886 High Taxes

 After Qinghu saw the appearance of the two people, he smiled and bent over without caring about anything else.

With such an order, no matter how beautiful the beauty is, she can't be seen.

"Why are you laughing? You're not just as ugly!"

Lin Mengya glanced at him. The big black mole on her lips was very conspicuous.

"Yes, yes, we are all ugly now. Okay, let's hit the road." .??.

Time was tight and they had no extra time to waste.

However, after Lin Mengya sat pitifully on the carriage, she sneezed every now and then.

His eyes turned red and he couldn't be more pitiful. Then Qinghu seemed to have just remembered something and took out a few small cotton balls from his arms.

"Put this into your nose. Really, I don't understand why you don't like such a good smell?"

This guy definitely did it on purpose!

Lin Mengya fiercely snatched the cotton ball from Qinghu's hand, and she just said, what she heard from this guy just now was wrong.

If you dare to play this trick with her, let's see how she handles this dead fox after they return to Dajin!

After the torment just now, the sky has already brightened.

After leaving the main city of Yushan County, they had to cross several cities before they could completely leave Yushan County.

Now that the Xin family has taken action, the interrogation of transactions will become even more stringent.

Although the three of them have been put in this state by disaster, they cannot take it lightly.

Apart from the three of them, the rest of the entourage has been arranged.

Those familiar faces have all been brought to Wan Gu Pond by Xiaoyu and Ning Qiu.

The remaining people can survive until the news is over as long as they are careful and don't reveal any obvious flaws.

Then slowly return to the royal city and expose the Xin family's conspiracy.

If these people can be selected, there must be something extraordinary about them.

There were gradually more pedestrians on the road. Although the three of them were not very eye-catching, their strange combination and the strong smell of pepper still attracted the attention of pedestrians.

Fortunately, small vendors like them are not special. Yushan County is rich in pepper, and vendors will drive out to various counties to sell it all year round.

Soon, we arrived at another city gate.

The interrogation has indeed become particularly strict, and almost everyone's belongings must be turned over and turned over for inspection.

Not only that, everyone has to be carefully inquired about their identity and the purpose of leaving the city.

Anyone who is slightly vague will be taken aside immediately.

It seems that the Xin family is careful enough. Not only did they send people to chase them, they even arranged such a formation at the gate of the city. They really thought highly of them.

"Stop, where are you from?"

Several bags of peppercorns on the carriage attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city for a long time.

Qinghu shivered and jumped out of the carriage, his sharp eyes easily blocked by his loose eyelids.

The whole person looked like a timid little vendor, with no trace of his former appearance at all.

"My lords, my father and my daughter are small merchants selling pepper. We are not breaking the law!"

Qinghu learned from these low-level common people, and there was indeed no flaw.

Lin Mengya bared her teeth at the officials, and her previous makeup results finally paid off.

The uneven looking front teeth quickly turned off the appetite of several officials.

After perfunctorily looking through their things, they waved and let them go.

Look, she is actually quite talented in playing silly girls.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Qinghu said hurriedly, and after getting into the carriage tremblingly, the three of them continued on their way.

After passing three checkpoints in this way, they finally arrived at the last city gate of Yushan County. Lin Mengya's heart was also in doubt.

Because the inspection here will be the most stringent.

It doesn't matter if they are exposed, the worst they can do is kill them.

But once someone discovers it, I'm afraid it will be even more detrimental to Xiaoyu.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and Xiaoyu and Ning Qiu had already entered the Ten Thousand Gu Pond.

Hope everything goes well for them.

"Stop, you guys, come down and get checked!"

This is much stricter than the previous three levels.

After the three people looked at each other vaguely, they still obeyed the instructions and were taken aside for a body search.

Naturally, men were searched by male officers and soldiers, and there were also a few aunts who seemed to be very smart, searching women's bodies.

They don't have anything with them that can prove their identity.

As long as this disguise is not seen through, it is considered a success.

But seeing how carefully the women searched their bodies, Lin Mengya and Bai Su couldn't help but feel slightly worried.

Finally it was the turn of the three of them to be examined. Lin Mengya maintained extraordinary calmness and gave the aunts who searched her a silly smile as usual.

But this time, it was obviously of no use.

The people responsible for searching them were obviously reluctant.

After all, the three of them are watching

It was dirty when I woke up, and there was a very strong smell of peppercorns on my body. It was a bit choking when I got close.

His big, fat, rough hands carefully touched every pocket on her body.

But on Qinghu's side, the attention of those people fell on the big hunchback on Qinghu's back.

"Take off your top!"

Suddenly, the official at Qinghu came up with this order.

Lin Mengya's heart immediately became extremely nervous. Although Luo Guo didn't know what Qinghu had replaced it with.

But the only thing that is certain is that once it is taken off, the original shape will be revealed.

Qinghu grabbed the skirt of his clothes with both hands and looked embarrassed. ??

"Master, it's better not to give it up. I have some deformities in my body. I'm afraid I'll scare some of the officials."

But the guys who were searching me seemed a little impatient and urged them sternly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you take off your clothes quickly? If you keep complaining, I'll put you in jail!"

Under the current situation, Qinghu had no choice but to do what he did.

He untied his clothes shakily and took off his coat.

At this time, Lin Mengya and Bai Su had just been inspected.

Standing there looking at Qinghu, his heart was beating wildly.

Never, never be discovered!

The coat was taken off, leaving only an undershirt underneath.

Qinghu is indeed a leader in the world of disguise. Even the two exposed arms look as flabby and weak as a real old man.

But inside the tight-fitting undershirt, the hunchback was still bulging as before.

The smell of sweat and peppercorns mixed together, and the officials just frowned and looked at them, then waved their hands in disgust and let them go.

The heavy sigh in her heart finally relaxed, and Lin Mengya and Bai Su pretended to help Qinghu.

Just as the three of them were about to turn around and leave, they heard another person calling them from behind.

"You three, don't leave."

The voice was extremely eerie, and Lin Mengya suddenly felt uneasy in her heart.

Turning around, I saw a guy dressed in silk and satin riding a horse and walking up to the three of them.

The man looked at the three of them condescendingly, as if he was sizing up an item.

"I think the pepper on your car is of good quality, but I've seen all the pepper farmers in Yushan County. Why haven't I seen you three such special people?"

The man's tone was so gentle that Lin Mengya's heart sank. She also knew that all the pepper cultivation in Yushan County was in the hands of the Xin family.

but
I didn't expect that today, I would bump into someone's gun.

Qinghu, who was standing between the two of them, immediately bent down to salute and said respectfully.

"What this gentleman is saying is that we were not in the pepper business before. It was just because my old lady had a hard life, so she went quietly and left us and the three of us behind. We really couldn't survive. So I

My relatives introduced me to this job, which can at least find a way out for the three of us. Please be kind and let the villain go."

The plaintive tone is humble and lingering, and no one can find anything wrong with it.

Lin Mengya and Bai Su also clung to Qinghu's side, trembling, as if they had never seen silly girls in the market.

I felt the man's gaze on me, looking back and forth for a long time, and then I let out a cold snort in my nose.

"So that's it, then you can go. But according to industry regulations, you have to pay three-tenths of the tax first. Otherwise, you won't be able to take away this cart of pepper."

Three-tenths of the tax? Lin Mengya was extremely angry.

It's like they are small traders who are covering up, and they may not even make three-tenths of their net profit.

This guy talks about such a high tax, he is blacker than a crow!

"Sir, this cart of pepper has just been pulled out and has not been sold yet. Where do you want me to find these taxes?"

Qinghu was alert and immediately put on a sad face and begged repeatedly.

But the black-hearted official on horseback showed no mercy at all. Instead, he impatiently walked aside, leaving Qinghu hoarse and pleading on the road.

Lin Mengya was extremely angry. If they had not dressed up as vendors today, they would never have seen the shamelessness of these people.

After that, several small vendors selling pepper came here and took the initiative to use their money to pay the tax.

After seeing the three of them, a kind-hearted vendor finally told them that this was just their first time.

From now on, you can harvest less and be patient and it will be over.

Qinghu had no choice but to get off the donkey, take out three-tenths of the value of the whole car of peppercorns, and hand it over to the official at the gate of the city before he could take them and set off on the road.

By this time, the sky had already darkened.

Several other kind-hearted vendors invited them to go with them, but Qinghu politely declined.

After confirming that the officers and soldiers at the city gates could not be seen, Qinghu parked the car in a bush.

"We're finally out. We can't walk far to where our supplies are. Girl, what's wrong with you?"

After coming out of Yushan County, Lin Mengya didn't say a word.
