Daniu didn’t expect that inspecting the goods would make the officers suspicious of him.

Especially when inspecting the sunflower oil, the officer’s expression became more serious; he hadn’t seen this oil before. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Daniu saw his hand slightly tighten around the knife at his waist, and his heart skipped a beat. This, this better not be a misunderstanding.

Fortunately, this trip had broadened his horizons. He turned his eyes and opened his mouth in a seemingly relaxed manner, "Bailiff, we have come from Dongan Province, and we’re not familiar with the place. Once we’re in the city, we want to go to the government office, but we don’t know which direction to head."

The officer suddenly frowned, "You want to go to the government office? Transporting these goods to the government office? What do you intend to do?"

Daniu sighed, "My sister instructed me; her residence in the city isn’t fixed, and even if we delivered the goods, we wouldn’t know where to find her. She said we should go to the government office to find Young Master Meng Yunzheng, he will help us handle it."

The officer was stunned, "Young Master Meng? These goods are connected to Young Master Meng?"

Nowadays, there are no officers who do not recognize Meng Yunzheng; hearing this name, they immediately react.

Daniu said, "These goods are my sister’s request; she wants to set up a shop in the prefecture and wrote to us to transport the goods over. My sister is Young Master Meng’s fiancée, so it’s the same if he takes over."

The officer, "...Wait, who did he say? Fiancée?"

He remembered that Young Master Meng’s fiancée seemed to be... Wen’an County Lord.

He suddenly lowered his head and reopened the travel permit that Daniu had handed him. Yes, they all had the surname Lu, all came from Dongan Province, and the travel permit checked out.

Indeed, there’s been news that the county magistrate is opening a shop, just waiting for the goods to be stocked; so this is it?

When the officer looked at Daniu again, his expression was much kinder, "So it’s the county magistrate’s brother, Sir Lu. All these goods are for sale by the county magistrate?"

"Yes, these are all products from Lu’s, to be honest, the only ones. Look at this; these are melon seeds, this is sunflower oil, and here’s instant noodles."

"I know instant noodles." Back when Young Master Meng was taking exams, he cooked these noodles; it’s said that just soaking them makes them especially fragrant. We don’t sell them in the prefecture, only Young Master Meng has them.

No wonder, they are from the county magistrate’s family.

"Bailiff, look, these are all edible items. This sunflower oil is supplied to the palace."

The officer suddenly understood; right, he had found the sunflower oil familiar. Earlier, he chatted with the soldiers under General Huang and during the conversation about things in the capital, they had mentioned it.

The officer smiled, "Alright, there’s no problem with the goods." There are no hidden weapons in the vehicles, and the escorting team consists of proper escorts from an escort agency.

He allowed passage, "Go ahead, you want to go to the government office to see Young Master Meng, right? I’ll lead you there."

"Thank you, bailiff."

Daniu gestured, and the convoy restarted, heading into the city.

Their convoy was long, and along the way, the townsfolk watched and talked among themselves, and surprisingly, they continued heading towards the government office.

Are these goods all from the government?

Once the officer brought Daniu to the front of the government office, he instructed them to wait and ran off to deliver the message himself.

Before long, Meng Yunzheng came out with a face full of joy, walking up to Daniu, "Brother Daniu."

The officer thought from the side, they’re apparently close enough to refer to each other so intimately; thankfully he led the way here.
