Chapter 723 Forgive His Blindness
He was even more afraid of offending Nanling King!
Now that the King of Nanling is away, the Liu family has suffered. If he makes trouble at this time, will he still be able to keep his head when the King of Nanling returns?
When he returned home at night, he prayed to God and Buddha, and begged these people to withdraw quickly!
"My lord, the Li family posted a message saying that they want to send a batch of goods, but the town is guarded by officers and soldiers, and I need a document from my lord." The yamen servant came to report.
"Tell me what's going on here? It's a small town that doesn't shit, but you have to pass the customs papers when you leave the town. Do you think this is the border or Dazhou City?" A big seal was stamped.
Both the Li family and the Liu family are well-to-do families in the town. Most of the oil and water he can earn every year are filial piety from these two families, and he will try his best to give it as much convenience as possible.
The business of the Li family has been blocked due to the recent incident outside.
The Li family got the travel documents and everything was ready.
That night, Liu Muqiu quietly came to the old lady's room again, and the servants and maids around her had already been shunned away early.
"The Li family has to get up in the middle of the night to pack the goods. Porcelain is fragile, so you need to be more careful on the road. Every time you go out, the Li family will send at least ten people to be responsible for the delivery. This time I will let Uncle Li lead the team. The table over there There are ten sets of servant clothes, take them away, and wait at the back door in the early morning."
"Thank you, old lady." Uncle Li is the old lady's confidant, very experienced in doing things, and has a strict mouth.
"Since you have promised to return to the Li family, you don't need to follow this time. Life and death are unpredictable on the way to escape. You have done enough for the Liu family, and the favor is enough. Just stay in the Li family."
"Forgive me, old lady. What Mu Qiu promised will definitely be done, but the Liu family is facing a catastrophe. I can't leave them alone. The old man and the old lady are old, and there are people around who can accompany Mr. Xie Xie It could be better. I'll definitely be back when things calm down."
Mrs. Li rolled her eyelids, was silent for a moment, and waved, "Let's go."
"Mu Qiu bid farewell first."
When the people left, the old woman hummed.
The word "family" in the woman's words proves that she really regards the Liu family as her own family, and treats the elders of the Liu family as real elders to be filial.
It was never like this in the Li family before.
In the final analysis, it is still a problem between people.
The next day, a convoy of motorcades drove slowly towards the entrance of the town, with Uncle Li, the old steward of Li's residence, walking in front.
"The car is full of valuables. Show me all of them carefully. If you accidentally damage or break it, the old lady will punish you later. Don't blame me for not reminding me!"
"Uncle Li, don't worry, we must be optimistic, we must be careful!"
Next to Uncle Li, an old lady dressed in a bit of riches followed closely, "Brother Li has always been serious and responsible in his work, it is strange that the old lady entrusted the matter to you, she has always been most at ease with you."
"Hmph, that's natural, otherwise the old lady would not let me take a maid to serve me when I go out." Uncle Li smiled, and the flattery of the old lady was very useful.
A few steps ahead is the entrance of the town guarding the officers and soldiers. Among the officers and soldiers, the guards are still there, and they are facing the portraits handed over by the soldiers to identify them.
Those portraits had the names of the Liu family written next to them.
The guardian frowned while watching, is this portrait of the Liu family?
Forgive his blindness, he couldn't recognize any of them.
But he didn't say it.
"How, Lord Guardian has met the Liu family, is there any deviation in the portrait?"
The guard paused, embarrassed.
If he said yes, he would betray the Liu family, and he would have to lose his head once King Nanling came back.
Say no, if someone is caught over there, and he is found to have lied after comparing the two, he will be classified as an accomplice of the Liu family and his head will also be lost.
what to do?
When he frowned there, the hearts of the Liu family also sank to the bottom of the valley.
Even though Mu Qiu has already made disguises for them, it is not quite the same as the original appearance, but the boy Zhiqiu in the family often deals with the guard, so it is impossible for the guard to recognize him.
But they have already reached this point, if they turn around and run away, wouldn't they be guilty of thieves and even more suspicious?
In a dilemma, we can only bite the bullet.
"My lord, we are the servants of the Li family in the town. We are sending a batch of goods to Yuzhou City. This is the travel document approved by the yamen. Please have a look at it." Uncle Li stepped forward and presented the document.
The guard looked up, just in time to see the people following the convoy, with cold sweat streaming down their foreheads, and their legs were limp.
"Lord Guardian, look, is this a document approved by the yamen?" The little soldier beside him handed the document to him, asking him to identify the authenticity of the official seal.
To be cautious to this extent is simply wrong!
He is here, if the document is fake, how dare he show it in front of him, the guard?
After receiving the document and glanced at it, the guardian nodded, "I approved it myself, that's right. My lord, I recognize everyone in Li's mansion. There is no problem. Their goods will be sent out once every ten and a half months, and the business is still going on." Not bad. A rich man in our town."
The little soldier took a look at him, picked up the portrait in his hand, and compared it to the people in the convoy one by one, and ordered the soldiers to check the inside and outside of the convoy, even the wooden boxes containing the goods, so as not to hide people inside.
The guardian followed by, smiling, "My lord, I also see the Liu family. If they show up, I will definitely recognize them. Don't worry, my lord, I will guard here with you today, and I guarantee that they will not be able to fly!"
There are always people chattering in my ears, making people feel impetuous, especially after so many days without gaining anything. The Liu family seems to have disappeared out of thin air. The little soldier waved his hand impatiently, "Let's go, hurry up!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
The convoy passed slowly through the entrance of the town, and behind them, the chattering voices of the guards continued, until the convoy could no longer see the shadow, they stopped to wipe their sweat and panted carefully.
Not daring to reveal the slightest clue.
There is no one who can do his job as an official, right?
After leaving the town, the convoy turned left and headed for Qingshan County, Linxian County.
Qingshan County has the Li Mansion transportation base, which is closest to the halfway wharf. As long as they successfully board the ship from the wharf, the Liu family will be safe.
"Uncle Li, thank you today." Liu Muqiu said solemnly.
She and Fu Yuzheng dressed up as accompanying maids, with disguises on their faces.
"Thank you for what I did, I just listen to the old lady's orders." Uncle Li responded with a smile, and then said, "The little master of the Liu family should have arrived at the pier by now, and when the time comes to board the boat and leave the land, you should go further away. I'm afraid that the storm will be difficult to calm for a while."
Xiao Maodou was brought by Jiu Lao, and he had already left the town to go to the Lin County Wharf. Just wait for them to arrive.
However, the situation is indeed as Uncle Li said, and the storm is hard to calm down for a while.
Everyone was bitter, the entire Nanling suddenly seemed to have no place for them, and the capital and their families were waiting for them to go to rescue.
There are three chapters tonight, and the missing ones will be filled during the day. I can't finish coding every day. A friend asked me today, how many manuscripts have I kept in retreat for so many days? I hit a "0" and my friend told me to fuck... I swear, I'm telling the truth, I'm not lying! This year is not easy hahaha~ Do I really have to type in front of the computer on New Year’s Eve [shivering]
