Chapter 904 Who dares to mess around!

Seeing this situation, both of them were slightly taken aback.When I took a closer look, I found that many officials, accompanied by soldiers, seemed to be inspecting the ships ahead, and then pointing or something...

"Master Liao, they seem to be collecting taxes!" Wu Kuida was familiar with these scenes, and after watching them for a while, he immediately turned his head and said to Liao Juren.

Liao Juren listened, looked at it for a while, agreed with his statement, and immediately comforted Wu Kuida: "Look over there, you can see that those people are nodding and bowing to mere officials and soldiers. They are obviously ordinary businessmen. Those minions are also You can only bully them!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Kuida came back to his senses, heaved a sigh of relief, smiled and nodded in agreement.

Just at this moment, the ship was approaching the pier, and an official came to meet him with a group of soldiers. When he got close, he asked loudly, "Who is the owner of the ship? I think the draft of this ship is very deep, so it must belong to the ship." A lot, you should check and pay taxes!"

"My master is Liao Juren from Minqing County, this is it!" A servant beside the boat pointed to Liao Juren and immediately introduced him proudly.

Before Liao Juren knew it, he straightened his waist again, and asked with an attitude of neither overbearing nor humble: "Do you want to investigate again?"

When the little official heard this, an inexplicable expression flashed across his face, and he heard him ask: "Dare to ask Mr. Liao, do you know what is on this ship, cargo or private property?"

"Porcelain!" Liao Juren said flatly, "It's all my own property. Why, do you still want to collect taxes?"

"Come on, get on the boat and check to see if what Liao Juren said is true!" Hearing this, the little official immediately ordered the group of tall and burly soldiers beside him.

The soldiers had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and immediately rushed to the boat to start checking.

Wu Kuida was a little worried when he saw him, but he didn't say anything when he saw that although Liao Juren's expression was a bit persistent, he didn't stop him anyway.I just hope that after these soldiers inspect it, they will confirm that it is Liao Juren's personal property, and they will let it go quickly!
The porcelain in the cabin was neatly arranged, and there was no concealment at all. The soldiers who boarded the ship for inspection only took a cursory look and replied to the little official that it was indeed the case.

After the little official heard this, he turned his head to look at Liao Juren, and asked very solemnly: "Master Liao, I have been ordered to check and need to check again. Is this ship of porcelain private property or goods?"

"Are you deaf? I told you that just now!" Liao Juren's face was very ugly when he heard it, and he said almost word by word, "This is my own property, do you still want to collect taxes?"

The little official didn't hesitate after hearing this, and led the soldiers back to the boat.But he didn't leave, only one soldier rushed away.

"Huh, did you see that, if it's ordinary people, these cunning Xu will forcefully collect taxes!" Liao Juren looked at those people on the shore who seemed a little bit unwilling, and then turned to Wu Kuida and said.

"That's it, that's it!" Wu Kuida was overjoyed, nodded quickly and said, "Master Liao, you are a famous person, who dares to mess around!"

The two talked for a while, and then Wu Kuida was going to find the next company to deliver the goods, while Liao Tianyou was going to Fuzhou City to deliver some documents, and then he was about to say goodbye and leave.He is also here on a business trip, otherwise, he doesn't need to personally escort the boat.

But at this moment, I saw a general in the distance leading a group of soldiers over on horseback. When he arrived in front of their boat, he asked coldly, "Who is Liao Tianyou and Liao Juren?"

"Huh?" Liao Juren was a little surprised and a little unhappy when he heard it, and replied, "I am!"

"This ship's porcelain is your private property, not a commodity for sale?" The general sat on the horse, staring at him and shouted coldly, "Is this true?"

When Liao Juren heard it, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't bear to change his words, so he confirmed it again.

After hearing this, the general wanted to verify Liao Juren's identity, which annoyed Liao Juren. He thought again that these people were jealous of seeing a boatload of porcelain, and had to verify their identities again and again. If they were not real Juren, they might have to pay taxes again.

Therefore, although Liao Juren was angry, he still showed the general his identity certificate and official documents.

After he finished reading, Liao Juren asked in a bad tone, "How is it? Is there any question? If not, don't hinder me from getting off the boat!"

"Of course!" Immediately the general heard it, and didn't return the materials to him, but just looked at him and shouted in a cold voice, "Come on, take him away!"

Upon hearing this, Liao Juren, Wu Kuida and others thought they heard it wrong.But those soldiers had already prepared, and with an order, the northern soldiers rushed over like hawks catching chickens, tied up Liao Juren with ease, and then pushed them away.

"What are you doing? Is there any law for the king? I am a Juren of Minqing County. I am on business by the order of the county lord. What are you going to do? Is there any law for the king..."

Liao Juren's mouth was not blocked, and it was impossible to break free from those soldiers, so he had to shout loudly.

The sound was very loud, and people coming and going near the pier, as well as boats coming in and out, could all be heard clearly.All of a sudden, everyone stopped their work, watched the scene on the shore, and discussed in a low voice.

"Why are these big soldiers so bold that they just blatantly arrested Master Juren? Who is that man?"

"That man is so tall, he seems to be from the north, he should be General Liu Guoneng, right?"

"What do you mean, what's wrong with the general, it's not good to be rough on Master Juren, right?"

"Could it be that what the notice says is true, is it going to be serious?"

"What, you want to hit Master Juren, no way, go and have a look!"

"..."

Without exception, those who saw the situation crowded over and followed the group of soldiers to a small square at the pier.

"Hey, it seems that there is a banner of Lord Zhongcheng!"

"No way, do you really want to be serious?"

"This is a good show, haha!"

"..."

Sun Chuanting was here, and Liu Guoneng escorted him to the front and reported the actual situation.

When Liao Tianyou saw him, he was a little timid. Seeing Mr. Zhong Cheng's expressionless face, he was afraid in his heart, so he wanted to change his words.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting did not give him this opportunity, and shouted in a cold voice: "As a Juren, you have no law. My official announcement has been issued, and I kindly reminded him. I even sent soldiers to the upstream to make a notice, but you still knowingly committed the crime." , the king's law is ruthless, come, according to the law stick!"

A boatload of porcelain far exceeds the prescribed amount. According to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", it is directly punished by the top penalty, that is, seventy sticks, and a boatload of porcelain is confiscated into the government.

When Liao Juren heard this, his face turned pale with shock, and he still wanted to distinguish one thing from the other.But the soldiers on the side had already been ordered, they didn't give him a chance at all, they dragged on like wolves like tigers, and immediately began to execute under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"Ah... ah..." The screams resounded around the pier, and all the people who were discussing in low voices immediately shut up. On the pier, only Liao Juren's screams remained.
