Chapter 471 472. Cheating
Lord Lang never imagined that he would suddenly become a prisoner overnight.
"I want to see your prefect. Is this how you treat guests in your Rong Dynasty? Besides, I am an envoy. If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid of a war between our two countries?"
Fan Changxi glanced at him and said, "Does that mean I am an envoy? What about the official documents? Do you think you can represent a country just by your mouth?"
Lord Lang began to look for his bag, which contained his seal and the official documents given to him by the Emperor.
But those things are no longer around, they were all left in the inn!
"Give me my bag. I have the seal and the envoy's documents."
Fan Changxi said, "I didn't expect the swindlers to be so bold that they dared to come to our prefect to cheat. We have checked your luggage and there is no such thing as you said.
If you know what's best for you, tell us the truth. Why did you come to us to commit fraud? Did anyone instruct you to do so? "
"Asshole, I've met your prefect before. If you don't believe me, go ask him."
His subordinate pointed at Fan Changxi and said, "Sir, I have seen this man. When we meet the prefect again, he will be guarding the yamen."
Lord Lang clearly understood at this time that this was not a misunderstanding at all, but was done on purpose by the other party.
"How dare you treat the messenger like this?"
Fan Changxi said, "I don't know what you are talking about. I only know that you entered our Law City, but you are sneaking around. You'd better tell us where you are from and do you have a household registration certificate? Otherwise, we can only treat you as spies."
Lord Lang, "..." It seems that the prefect of Lucheng came prepared. No wonder he didn't help them stay in the post station from the beginning, nor did he hold a banquet for them as usual.
Now that they have no identification documents, people have every reason to detain them and even interrogate them.
Seeing the other party fall silent, Fan Changxi sneered, "You'd better tell the truth, so as to avoid suffering physical pain."
Lord Lang, "I want to see your ancient governor."
"You are nothing but a liar who is cheating people. How dare you dream of meeting our prefect? Just wait, someone will come to interrogate you."
Watching Fan Changxi going away, Lord Lang felt something was wrong. "I don't know how Ling San is doing. Has he returned?"
...The subordinates beside him didn't understand what he meant by this? Did he hope that Master Ling would go back, or did he hope that Master Ling would not be able to go back?
…
Gu Wenheng pushed all the subsequent tasks to Zhou Shixiong and started farming himself.
Even though the blacksmiths in the city had made some farm tools in advance, it was still far from enough.
As for the surrounding counties, Gu Wenheng at most asked them to take some samples back and figure out a solution on their own.
He was so busy that he had no time to pay attention to Lord Lang's shouting in prison.

Jin Qianqian followed the escort team to their last stop, where the group took a brief rest and replenished the energy they had consumed along the way.
Finally they could stop and rest, but Gu Benluo could no longer stay in the inn and kept clamoring for Jin Qianqian to accompany him for a walk.
The place where they are now is also the most prosperous music city in the northern city. There is a bustling street below their guest room.
When the child woke up in the morning and heard the noise downstairs, he couldn't sit still.
Jin Qianqian wiped Gu Bencan's face herself, then put on his thick cotton jacket, "Even if you want to go out, wait until mother has packed your brother.
Li Qiu, go see what breakfast this inn has and pick out some that the young master can eat and bring it over."
Li Qiu walked out immediately. It could be said that the entire inn had been booked by them.
She also did not forget to call the two young masters' wet nurses from next door. If the kitchen did not have anything suitable, she could ask them to make it immediately.
The waiter downstairs saw someone coming downstairs and hurried over carefully to greet him.
Although he didn't know what kind of person had checked in yesterday, he had to serve him carefully given the number of guards and servants.
"Girl, what do you need?"
Li Qiu, "Could you please take us to the kitchen and tell us what kind of breakfast your inn has? If it doesn't suit your taste, we can only ask our maid to cook it herself."
The waiter said, "Young lady, please come this way. The escort leader who brought you here yesterday came early in the morning and is waiting over there now. We were afraid that you might still be resting upstairs, so we didn't dare to disturb you."
Lichun, "Then please take these two maids to the kitchen to take a look."
Since everyone knew who was coming, Lichun would naturally not bring discredit to his own house. Moreover, the escort leader had been very caring towards them along the way, and based on this fact, he could not let them wait for long.
"Next time someone comes looking for us, please go upstairs and let them know. We will have someone here to handle it."
The waiter quickly responded and then took the two maids to the kitchen.
"Captain Cai, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Li Qiufu said, "Why are you here so early?"
Cai Wenping had seen people when Liqiu and the others came downstairs, "Miss Liqiu, I'm here too early.
Our young master has instructed us to come here to help you find out about the escort teams heading to Lucheng. I asked several of them last night, but unfortunately they don't have any teams heading there at this time.
However, there is a place that is only about 200 miles away from Lucheng, and the time is more suitable. Please tell the lady, if necessary, it is best to arrange the itinerary in advance."
The escort agency has a limited number of escorts. People like Jin Qianqian and her friends have their own guards, but the escort team is still responsible for their safety along the way.
If they don't have enough escorts and have received a certain number of people, they will no longer accept business.
Li Qiu, "I wonder when they will leave?"
"Four days later." After saying the date, Cai Escort Leader quickly explained, "This is the closest date. Since it is still freezing in that area, few escort agencies are willing to go there."
Li Qiu, "Could you trouble Captain Cai to wait here for a moment? I need to ask my wife for permission on this matter."
Cai Biaotou, "Of course, thank you Miss Liqiu."
Li Qiu knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he turned around and went upstairs immediately.
Jin Qianqian immediately made the decision, "Go find Butler Fu and go with him. Even if there is no escort team at the place, we can go there by ourselves."
Li Qiu, "It's just that we are not familiar with this escort team. Should we ask Butler Fu to find out?"
It's not that she doesn't want to trust Cai Biaotou, she just hopes that the lady and the young master can feel more comfortable on the road.
"Go ahead." Jin Qianqian didn't want to create any more trouble.
