The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Chapter 379 Clearance
The officer at the side said, "Sir, I think there is nothing wrong with them, let them go."

"No problem?" Liu Jing said quietly, "It's such a long journey from Guangxin Prefecture to the capital, and you don't even have any luggage with you?"

Pan Yun and the other four suddenly realized that their weakness was that they had no luggage.

Wang Cong felt regretful in his heart. If he had known not to be too proud, he would have stored everything in the space.

At this moment, he really wanted to reach into his sleeves and give them a big change.

Unfortunately, these people were officials, not ordinary citizens. If he dared to do this, they would arrest him.

Old Zhu once said that any rituals or magic propaganda that are not approved by the court are frauds and the offenders will be sent to jail.

Just as Wang Cong was brainstorming and thinking about how to excuse himself, Pan Yun turned around and asked, "Master nephew, do you need to bring luggage when you travel?"

Wang Cong immediately said, "Of course not. It's rare for Master Uncle to go out, why would he bring all that stuff with him?"

Pan Yun snorted and said, "You promised me that I could buy whatever I wanted. Second Senior Brother also promised me that as long as we get to the capital, he would pick the stars for me even if I asked for them."

Wang Cong immediately bent down and nodded, "Yes, yes, Master has promised and will never break his word, so don't worry, Junior Master."

Liu Jing's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, and Miao Zhen immediately called out, "And me, Senior Brother. Master can't be partial. In the past, Master always chose good things for me first."

Wang Cong immediately frowned and rebuked Miao Zhen, "This is Junior Master, younger than you and older than you, why are you fighting with Junior Master?"

Miao Zhen's eyes immediately turned red, and she stamped her feet and said, "Why does everything belong to her when Junior Master-Uncle comes? It was obviously me who chose it first before."

Miaohe was stunned, and Tao Yanbai poked her secretly.

Miao He came back to his senses and immediately said, "Me too!"

Miao Zhen: "Since we've been down the mountain for so long, Junior Master has changed so many sets of clothes, wearing one and throwing one away. Why should I only wear the clothes Junior Master has worn?"

Miaohe: “Me too!”

What a coincidence! Today Pan Yun was wearing a new set of clothes bought in the previous county town. Miaozhen and Miaohe also bought two sets of clothes because spring in the north is very different from that in the south of the Yangtze River, and the clothes they brought were not suitable.

The thick ones were too thick and the thin ones were too thin, so several people bought two sets of padded ones.

Liu Jing sneered, and the scabbard was placed across Wang Cong's neck. "Keep on weaving! They are all wearing new clothes."

"It's new," Wang Cong complained, turning around and scolding Miao Zhen, "Isn't what you're wearing new? Junior Master only wore it once, so what's the difference between it and new?"

Miaozhen yelled back, "It's different! She has worn it--"

Liu Jing's ears rang for a while, and the Jinyiwei in the teahouse finally came up with a knife, frowned and asked: "What's their problem?"

The officer nearby immediately reported the situation.

Jinyiwei frowned, "Liu Jing, you have too many things to do. I just didn't bring my luggage. Can't I buy it now?"

Liu Jing: "Captain, there are only five of them in one carriage. They don't look like people who spend money lavishly. How could such people be willing to buy and throw away all the luggage along the way? It's very suspicious that there is no luggage in the carriage."

Jinyiwei asked: "Then let me ask you, are there any prohibited items in their car?"

Liu Jing choked and shook his head.

"Is there anyone we are looking for in their car?"

Liu Jing pursed his lips and still shook his head.

The Jinyiwei snorted coldly and said, "We are blocking the road to investigate the Japanese pirates who have escaped to the shore. If not, just let them go! Don't make trouble."

Liu Jing was a little anxious: "But..."

"But you must do whatever I tell you to do," the Imperial Guard gave him a warning look and said, "Liu Jing, you must remember that you are not a centurion yet, but just a small Imperial Guard. I am your superior!"

Liu Jing lowered his head, replied "yes", and took the scabbard back from Wang Cong's neck.

Wang Cong was about to bow and thank this righteous Jinyiwei captain when he saw him stretch out his hand and tap his fingers lightly, "Where are your household registration and travel permit? Take them out."

Wang Cong paused for a moment, then immediately took out his household registration and certificate of ordination. Pan Yun and the others looked at each other, sighed, and took out their household registration and academy registration books.

Only Tao Yanbai had a pass.

The captain flipped through them one by one, and when he saw the pass for Pan Yun and the other two, he paused, looked them up and down, and asked, "Are you women?"

Liu Jing immediately turned around, looked at the three of them carefully, and then stared at Pan Yun.

The woman's words...

This person looks familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen him.

Liu Jing frowned and began to flip through the information in his mind.

Pan Yun felt his sharp gaze and answered the captain's question without changing his expression, "Yes, I just have short hair, don't I look like it?"

Miao Zhen: "I just combed my hair. We Taoists all comb our hair like this. Isn't it similar?"

The centurion returned the household registration and said, "I didn't say you don't look like it. Since you are Taoists with ordination certificates and student records, then go."

Liu Jing reached out to take the household registration document and wanted to take a look at it.

The captain frowned, took his hand back unhappily, and said unhappily: "Liu Jing, what do you want to do?"

Liu Jing lowered his head and said, "I want to check it again..."

"Why? I have checked it. Do you suspect that I am partial to you?"

Liu Jing: "I dare not, I just want to write down their names and household registrations so that I can report and verify them later..."

"You didn't remember the people who passed by before, so why do you remember the people I'm going to let go?"

Liu Jing: …

"Well, you have nothing to say, right? You are targeting me. I tell you, I have decided to let these people go." He passed by Liu Jing and slapped the things into Wang Cong's arms, waving his hand impatiently, "Get lost!"

Wang Cong quickly bent down to thank them, grabbed Miaozhen and Miaohe's hands and pushed them into the car.

When he was about to turn back to help Pan Yun after putting two of them in, she had already climbed up from the other side and pulled Tao Yanbai up with her.

Wang Cong drove his carriage through the checkpoint under Liu Jing's unwilling gaze. As he passed the checkpoint, three Jinyiwei came towards him.

Pan Yun could see the man on the horse clearly through the undulating curtains. He heard the Jinyiwei captain and Liu Jing and others running behind him and saluting to the man on the horse, "Greetings, Sir."

A slightly frivolous voice asked, "What's the matter with this car?"

The captain of the Imperial Guard rushed to Liu Jing and said, "My lord, these are some Taoist priests who came to Beijing to visit their relatives."

"Have you checked everything inside and outside the car?"

"I checked it, and there's nothing abnormal."

Liu Jing couldn't help but look up and look at the carriage that was gradually moving away.

Indeed, no prohibited items or people were found, but he still felt very strange.

This car is strange, and these five people are also strange.

Especially that "Junior Master Uncle", he always felt that he had seen her somewhere, but he really couldn't remember where.

It's strange. He has such a good memory. I can't say that he has a photographic memory, but since he thinks she is abnormal, he must remember her. How could he not remember who she is?
Liu Jing watched the carriage go away, his emotions becoming more and more agitated.

Wang Shan gave a brief response to the flattery of the captain. After he finished speaking, he nodded indifferently and turned to ask, "Liu Jing, have you discovered anything?"

The captain's expression was normal, but his eyes were a little cold.

Liu Jing bowed and said, "Sir, we have not found any trace of the bandit along the way. I think he is not familiar with the inland, and the household registration management of our Ming Dynasty is very strict. Without a household registration, he cannot enter the city at all, so I suspect he is still in the coastal area."

"Coastal? Quanzhou is on the coast, Suzhou is on the coast, Yangzhou Prefecture is on the coast, and further north, Huai'an Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, and even Tianjin Wei are on the coast. The coastline is so long, where do you want me to find it?"

Liu Jing said: "As long as we find Hu Jing, we can find the bandit."

"Hu Jing?"

"Yes," Liu Jing whispered, "I have checked. It seems that this bandit followed Hu Jing's information. When Hu Jing was catching thieves in Songjiang and collecting rewards, he appeared in Songjiang. When Hu Jing was exchanging murderers for rewards in Suzhou, he appeared in Suzhou..."

Wang Shan was puzzled: "Why is he chasing after Hu Jing?"

Liu Jing said: "After all, Hu Jing worked for Kikuchi Takehoku. Maybe he has something to verify with Hu Jing?"

Wang Shan touched his chin and said, "That makes sense. Send letters to local government offices to find out where Hu Jing is accepting bounties recently."

"Yes."

Wang Shan smiled, patted Liu Jing on the shoulder and said, "Well done. If you can successfully capture the bandit this time and find the treasure map before Wang Wen, I will recommend you to my uncle, and all the mistakes you made in the past will be nothing."

Liu Jing lowered his head and replied "yes" more respectfully.

The other Jinyiwei looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

Liu Jing lowered his head and his expression could not be seen. Only he knew what he was thinking.

Pan Jun caught Pan Xiaohei who jumped in from the window and touched its belly.

Miaohe was surprised, "Master Junior, when did Xiaohei get off the car?"

Miaozhen: "Did you just realize it now?"

Pan Yun: "When the carriage was stopped, it slipped away like a mouse."

She scratched its chin, rubbed its belly and limbs, and asked, "What did they say?"

Pan Xiaohei repeated their conversation and said, "I also heard a few junior guards cursing in private. Guess who that captain was?"

Pan Yun: "Wang Shan?"

Pan Xiaohei: "...How do you know? Have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen him, but the only uncle who can make him say that all the mistakes he made in his past duties are not worth mentioning, apart from Jinyiwei Commander Ma Shun, is the chief eunuch Wang Zhen. His last name is Wang, so of course his uncle's last name is also Wang."

Pan Xiaohei hung his head, thinking that it was not good for his companions to be too smart as it would not give him a sense of accomplishment.

Pan Jun touched its head, thinking, "Someone from the Japanese pirates is coming? Wang Shan thinks he has a treasure map? Then why are the Japanese pirates looking for Hu Jing?"

Miao Zhen: "He won't suspect that the treasure map is in the hands of Hero Hu, right?"

Pan Yun: "Do they need a treasure map to go to the island? Logically, they should have people who can go to the island, right?"

Therefore, their cooperation with Chen Wen has always been that Chen Wen prevents the Japanese pirates' ships from approaching the island until he has completely subdued his subordinates and then uses the treasure map in her hand to go to the island to get the treasure.

In the final score, 2:8, of course, Chen Wen got 8 and she got 2.

Although it was a little less, she only produced the drawings, and all the strength was done by Chen Wen, and it took a very long time.

If the Japanese pirates cannot find the island at all, doesn't that mean the treasure on the island can be left there and there's no rush to take it?
Pan Jun felt heartbroken for a moment, then immediately shook off the guess in her mind. No, she couldn't think like that. If she thought like that, she wouldn't be able to sleep for the next two nights.

May you be blessed with infinite happiness. Everything she chooses is the best choice. Blessing is misfortune and misfortune is blessing. Even if there is a loss for a while, it is because there will be greater blessings in the future. It must be like this, it must be like this.

"Uncle Junior, what are you mumbling about?"

Pan Jun raised and lowered his hands, breathing in and out, and smiled, "Nothing, I'm just chanting."

　See you tomorrow, keep working hard tomorrow and try to get there earlier
