Tibetan Sea Pearl

Chapter 169 The Tribute Boat Arrives

After getting out of the carriage, Su Yue's face was illuminated by the bright torches not far away. After she got used to her sight, she could clearly see that each of the martial law soldiers was holding torches in their hands, illuminating the Lanhu Wharf like a river of stars.

An officer and soldier shouted loudly, "Idlers, please leave quickly, you have offended the foreign envoy, and you will be dealt with by military law."

The imperial court only opened a shipping department in a few ports, and Guangzhou is the largest one. Foreign envoys usually stop at Guangzhou for repairs, supply supplies and report, and then go north to Beijing to meet the Holy Spirit.Part of the goods carried by the tribute boat is tribute, and this part is used for tribute, and no one can move it, and the rest is used for bilateral trade.

To be dealt with by military law is to go to jail or even beheaded and implicate the family. This sentence deterred many people who watched the excitement, and many people left reluctantly.

Su Yue and the others couldn't leave because they haven't found Adan yet.

Adan didn't know where to go.

Su Yue searched for the shadow of A Dan in the crowd.

"This Adan." Hongjiao complained, "I'll have to skin him when I find him." Seeing so many soldiers, Hongjiao felt that the situation was serious.

"Adan may not know that we are looking for him. If he knows that we are looking for him, he will definitely come out to meet us." Su Yue comforted her.

It was too eye-catching for them to stand here, so Su Qing dragged Su Yong and the others to a place with few people nearby.

The night was so dark that the five fingers could not be seen, and the figures of the few of them melted into the night immediately, blending with the night that could not be melted like thick ink.

They stood beside a reef, the sea in the distance was pitch black, the tide was out and it was quiet, and a little light gradually appeared, at first it was a little bit, then it was two o'clock and three o'clock, and there were little stars.

The tribute ship is coming.

There was a lot of commotion at the Lanhu Wharf. The officials ordered the soldiers to get ready to pick up the boat. The soldiers took the order and held up the torches, running around in a panic.

"What should we do?" Su Yong asked Su Qing, "Ah Dan can't find the black light."

Because they were worried that the officers and soldiers would find them, they simply extinguished the torches. This reef is huge, taller than a person, and it can just be used as a hiding place for them.

"Now is the time to panic, don't move, don't go out, and see the situation." Su Qing said.

It doesn't matter, it's just that there are too many mosquitoes, and the place near the water is easy to breed mosquitoes. After a while, Su Yue was bitten by several large mosquitoes on her legs.

When the tribute boat docked, the officials from the Municipal Shipbuilding Department and the Arrangement Department greeted it with a smile on their faces. Because the arrangement made the adults ask for leave to return to Beijing, they were not among the officials who greeted them. Surprisingly, the prefect Lin did not either. Come, there is no one from the magistrate's office.

Su Yue didn't know that the Shibo Division was under the jurisdiction of the Arrangement Division, and not under the jurisdiction of the magistrate's office.

Even though they couldn't understand the language, the other party greeted them with a smile and full of enthusiasm. The foreign envoys could feel this sincerity. The station had already prepared good wine, food, singing and dancing, and was ready to sing all night long.

"Please, please." Master Shibosi led the way ahead.

Surrounded by the officials, the emissary and his group walked towards the post station talking and laughing. The old postman hunched over and walked at the end of the crowd without saying a word.

"Yi Cheng, please stay." Master Shi Bosi ran over deliberately, "You don't have to go to entertain the envoy, you stay and look at the cargo of the tribute ship." He lowered his voice and said seriously, "The emperor asked about it a few days ago. Regarding the tribute matter, these goods cannot have any mistakes, if there is a mistake, you and I can't bear it."

"My lord, please don't worry, a humble job knows how powerful it is." The old Yicheng bowed and took the order.

The old Yi Cheng was old and hunchbacked, and besides being old, he was also somewhat decayed.

Wouldn't it be a joke to entertain foreign envoys like this, and it would be embarrassing for the court.

The Secretary of Shibo smiled coldly, and patted the old Yi Cheng on the shoulder, "I am most assured of the old Yi Cheng's work. After the matter is completed, your good wine and meat will be indispensable."

The old Yicheng was photographed with his head lowered even lower, and his body bent like a shrimp.

This scene was seen by Su Yong behind the binoculars.

Su Yue put down the binoculars and sighed, "I didn't expect the old Yi Cheng to be so pitiful."

Su Qing took the binoculars in Su Yue's hand and looked towards the direction of the pier. A hunched figure turned around silently, left the bustling crowd, and walked back alone.

Su Qing felt that she had wrongly blamed the old Yicheng. The old Yicheng looked like this, and he had more than enough energy to help him.
