Chapter 438 If You Say You Have It, You Have It

Fu Shanyue was relaxed and not panicked at all. After all, as long as he revealed his identity, he could easily lead the entire caravan across the border, and no one dared to check his belongings.

A few people suddenly came out of the checkpoint.

Six or seven officials and a slave.

The slave actually appeared at the checkpoint. This rare scene attracted the attention of the merchants.

They ignored others and walked straight to the Shimen caravan and Fushanyue's team and shouted: "This line, check it strictly!"

Shi Er Dangjia was shocked and stepped forward and saluted: "Several officers, what happened?"

"Dagong County Office!" The officer waved the token in front of them, "Nothing, we just picked you as the routine!"

Shi Er Dangjia couldn't help laughing: "Don't bother with it, we don't have any contraband here."

The officer saw it with his own eyes yesterday, how could he be fooled by him, his face was serious: "Stop talking nonsense, stand aside, don't interfere with official business!"

"And you, you!" He stopped the caravan guys who wanted to move, "Don't move, otherwise you will be shackled! Okay, search it, search it carefully."

While he was talking, the other officers searched separately, and no carriage was spared, no matter whether it was carrying goods or people.

The results of the search of the first ten carriages came out, nothing.

Then continue to search.

The Shimen Chamber of Commerce has many carriages and even more goods, so it takes a lot of time to search. Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Lingchuan and Fu Shanyue came over.

Shi Erdangjia was trying to find out what was going on: "What's going on? Officer, we are all law-abiding citizens!" He pointed at the slave and said, "What's wrong with this guy? Why is he standing here?"

The chief officer glared at him: "It's none of your business!"

"Oh? Could it be that this slave falsely accused us?" Fu Shanyue's look at the slave frightened him, "He used to serve me, but I hit him a few times and he was resentful, so he took revenge."

At this point, he raised his head and sniffed twice, frowning: "This guy drank wine earlier. How dare you trust a drunk slave?!"

As the voice rose, more passengers came to watch the excitement.

The officers thought, is this a dog's nose? Can the slave smell the wine he drank last night? On the surface, they had to reply: "It's a routine spot check, legal and compliant!"

Fu Shanyue smiled and said, "What if it doesn't find anything?"

The cold light in his eyes scared the slave to tremble.

The chief of the police didn't care: "Then congratulations on passing the test."

Fu Shanyue gave him a deep stare: "Do you know who I am?"

The chief of the police said with a stiff face: "No matter who you are, you must abide by the laws of Lingxu City in the territory!"

Fu Shanyue smiled: "Okay, okay, enforce the law impartially."

Uncle Da and other guards came from behind, staring at the officials. Fu Shanyue waved his hand and asked them to return to the team.

There are many people here, it's not a place to fight.

At this time, the other police had checked the last carriage and climbed out and said: "No, nothing!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the slave.

The chief of the police was also a little panicked.

He clearly saw it with his own eyes last night, why wasn't he in the car?

Could it be that this Fu Shangong was alert and had already thrown away the target?

Fu Shanyue smiled with a fake smile: "Now, what are you going to do?"

The chief of the police asked his men: "Have you really searched every corner?"

"Well, we are afraid of tricks, we checked every carriage with our own hands! Nothing."

This is really... The chief of the police met Fu Shanyue's cold eyes and could only swallow his saliva: "This, this..."

At this time, several people walked out from the back of the checkpoint, and the leader asked: "What's going on here?"

This person's body shape, limbs, clothes, and head-high posture look like a human at first glance, but in fact, the skin color is bluish, and the parts not covered by clothes are covered with tiny scales.

Its eyes are emerald green, and there are sharp spikes like fish fins on its ears. He Lingchuan noticed that there is a thin film between his fingers that is not very conspicuous.

Is that...webbed?

What kind of monster is this?

As soon as Fu Shanyue saw him, his eyes narrowed, revealing a look of sudden enlightenment: "Zhongsun Mou? It turns out that you are the one who tripped me up, no wonder!"

"How dare you!" A guard behind this man stepped forward and shouted, "How dare you be rude to the inspector!"

"Inspector?" Fu Shanyue was a little surprised and wanted to take a step forward, but he took it back when he heard it.

"Fu Shan Yue? Don't judge a gentleman by your own meanness." Zhongsun Mou turned to the chief of the police officers calmly, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Routine, routine inspection."

"Did you find anything?"

"No..."

The chief of the police officers just squeaked, and someone behind him suddenly shouted: "Sir, there are contraband here!"

Everyone was stunned, and turned to look, only to see two soldiers standing beside a carriage of the Shimen caravan, lifting the tarpaulin, pointing at the glazed jar below and saying: "This is Selaginella serrata, it is strictly forbidden to take it out of the Twilight Plains!"

"How is this possible!" Shi Er Dangjia lost his voice, "We have been walking this trade route for more than ten years, and we have never brought Selaginella serrata!"

He is familiar with the route and never makes mistakes, how could he carry contraband?

This Selaginella serrata is a plant unique to the Twilight Swamp. Its leaves are like dragon scales, and it can make men more virile when used as medicine. As you can imagine, this kind of thing has no problem selling, after all, there are always people who go to the clinic to ask for medicine by starting with "I have a friend".

However, the dragon scale selaginella was mined excessively in the past, and now the stock is scarce. It has become a controlled medicinal material, and private collection and transportation is not allowed.

Once discovered, heavy punishment!

So when Shi Erdang saw that there was a deadly jar of dragon-scale cypress on his car, the blood rushed to his brain.

This is infuriating.

Which caravan would be stupid enough to use a glass bottle that can be seen clearly when smuggling valuables?

Private mining is not allowed, so this is the government's stuff.

The other party has reached the point of having no bottom line and no shame in plotting against the Shimen caravan!

He Lingchuan also watched the whole thing on the side and asked Fu Shanyue quietly: "What is your relationship with this guy?"

"The enemy." Fu Shanyue's voice was as soft as a mosquito, "He hates me dead."

"What did you do to him?"

"His grandfather was killed by my father."

"..."

Fu Shanyue touched his nose again: "His brother's death has something to do with me."

"...Okay." Is it a little bit related?

So Zhongsun Mou has every reason to hate Fu Shanyue, and hate him as much as he hates him?

As expected, Zhongsun Mou's eyes swept over and fell on He Lingchuan with hatred, as if he was enjoying the same treatment as Fu Shanyue.

At this time, he kicked Fu Shanyue away and shouted "I don't know him well". I wonder if it's too late?

"Privately carrying dragon scale cypress and attempting to cross the border-" Zhongsun Mou dragged his tone, "How is it usually punished?"

After all, he is not a professional in this.

An official from the back ran over: "Dragon scale cypress, more than two catties-"

He looked at the jar, let alone two catties, there are seven or eight catties in it.

"The quantity is huge, and a fine of ten times can be imposed, which is three thousand taels of silver."

"Three thousand taels..." Shi Erdangjia sweated on his forehead and had a heart attack when he heard this number. After being fined this huge amount, how much money can he keep after this business trip? "Sir, this is too heavy."

He was too lazy to argue about the origin of dragon scale cypress. If the people don't fight with the officials, they will succeed if they want to frame them.

But he still wanted to reduce the loss.

The clerk said "it's OK" to punish ten times, but he didn't say it must be, which means that the punishment is flexible.

At this time, the caravan had been forced to leave the checkpoint to avoid blocking the team behind.

Zhongsun Mou looked at Fu Shanyue and smiled easily and comfortably: "If Master Fu Shan is willing to plead for you, I will still give you this face."

Fu Shanyue's face twitched.

This guy is so vicious! He must not be able to lower his face to ask Zhongsun Mou.

However, He Lingchuan and Shimen Caravan will be made difficult.

"Zhongsun Mou, you are playing with fire." He warned Zhongsun Mou, "If you do too many bad things, you'd better have an eye behind you."

The guards on the side shouted: "You dare to threaten the official of Lingxu City!"

Zhongsun Mou laughed: "Master Fu Shan refused, you have to blame him if you want to blame."

Fu Shanyue bared his teeth and whispered to He Lingchuan: "Let Shi Er pay the fine, and I will pay him back as much as he pays."

He Lingchuan nodded to Shi Er.

They walked together and had a tacit understanding with each other. Although Shi Erdangjia was angry, he had been doing business for many years and believed that peace was the most important thing, so he swallowed his anger and paid the fine of three thousand taels.

"Sir, can we go now?" Ten feet ahead is the territory of Chiyan, but they can't get through.

"What's the hurry?" Zhongsun Mou asked the official slowly, "Has this team finished checking?"

The official was very tactful: "No, not yet, we have only checked half of it!"

"Then what are you still standing there for, don't waste Mr. Fushan's time!"

"Yes." The official turned around and waved to the officer, "Why are you standing there? Move everything down and check it carefully!"

Fushan Yue stared at him, smiling: "You are so powerful."

The official met his sinister eyes and subconsciously shrank his neck. But the order had been issued, and there were one or two thousand officials and civilians watching at the checkpoint. The officers immediately took action and really moved all the goods on the car to the ground and checked them one by one.

They also drew their knives and stabbed and prodded into the bundles of materials. If there were people hiding inside, blood would have already flowed all over the floor.

Shi Erdangjia was horrified. He had really intended to hide Xiao Taozi in the pile of materials.

The Shimen caravan had a lot of goods and they were all mixed. Seeing that the team members were all watching, and only he and his men were working hard, the chief officer said in a gruff voice: "What are you looking at? Come down and help move!"

The caravan members all looked unhappy. This guy was making things difficult for them, and he wanted them to work hard?

He Lingchuan spoke at the right time: "They asked for money as soon as they started, so I had to trouble the officer."

The chief officer saw that he was smiling, but his words were so mean, so he pointed at his nose and said: "Boy, don't act big here, or you will suffer!"

"You see, I have nothing, not even a carriage." He Lingchuan patted his ribs, "It's not easy to frame me and stuff some dragon scale cypress or something?"
