Chapter 1930 A Worldly Expert

Da Niu never expected that inspecting goods would arouse the suspicion of the officials.

The officer's expression grew even more grave when he came across the sunflower oil, as he had never seen this oil before.

Da Niu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the way the man's hand tightened slightly around the sword at his waist. He hoped this wouldn't lead to any misunderstanding.

Fortunately, he had seen some of the world on this trip, and his eyes lit up as he casually said, "Officer, we've come all the way from Dong'an Prefecture, so we're not very familiar with this place. Once we enter the city, we want to go to the government office, but we don't know which way to go."

The officer's brow furrowed suddenly. "You're going to the government office? You're transporting all these goods to the government office? What are you going to do with them?"

Da Niu sighed, "This was instructed by my sister. Her residence in the city is not fixed, and we won't know where to find her after we deliver the things. She told us to go to the government office to find Young Master Meng Yunzheng, and he will take care of it for us."

The official was stunned. "Young Master Meng? These goods are related to Young Master Meng?"

These officials all know Meng Yunzheng; they recognize him immediately upon hearing his name.

Da Niu said, "These goods are for my sister. She wants to open a shop in the prefectural city and wrote to us to have them delivered. My sister is Young Master Meng's fiancée, so it's the same if she takes over these goods."

The official was speechless. "..." Wait, who was he talking about? His fiancée?

He remembered that Young Master Meng's fiancée was... Princess Wen'an, I think.

He abruptly lowered his head and reopened the household registration and travel permit that Da Niu had just given him. Yes, they both share the surname Lu, and they both come from Dong'an Prefecture; the travel permit is valid.

I have indeed heard that the county princess is opening a shop soon, and is just waiting for the goods to be put on the shelves, so is this all?

When the official looked at Da Niu again, his expression softened considerably. "So you're the county magistrate's brother, Young Master Lu. Are these goods for the county magistrate to sell?"

"Yes, these are all produced by our Lu Ji. To be honest, we are the only ones of our kind. Look at this, it's sunflower seeds, this is sunflower oil, and this is instant noodles."

"I know instant noodles." When Young Master Meng was taking the exam, he ate these noodles. I heard that you just need to soak them, and they're especially fragrant. It's just that they're not sold in their city; only Young Master Meng has them.

No wonder, it turns out it was produced by the county magistrate's family.

"Look, sir, these are all food items. This sunflower oil is supplied to the palace."

The official suddenly realized, "That's why I thought this sunflower oil sounded familiar. Earlier, when I was chatting with General Huang's soldiers about matters in the capital, I think he mentioned it briefly."

The official laughed and said, "Alright, there's nothing wrong with the goods." There were no weapons hidden on the carts, and the escorting team was composed of bodyguards from a legitimate security company.

He let them pass, saying, "Go in. You're going to the government office to find Young Master Meng, right? I'll take you there."

"Thank you, officer."

With a wave of his hand, Da Niu restarted the convoy and headed into the city.

Their motorcade was very long, and the people along the way were talking about it. Moreover, they kept walking towards the government office.

Are all these things government-owned?

After the official arrived outside the government office with Da Niu, he told them to wait while he ran off to deliver the message.

A moment later, Meng Yunzheng came out from inside with a happy expression and walked up to Da Niu, saying, "Brother Da Niu."

The officer thought to himself, "They're calling each other so intimately. Luckily, he led the way."
