Chapter 319 Selling Bridge Tickets (Part )
"Where are you going, sir?"

The carriage drove out for some distance, and Kogan looked behind it. Prince Rupel's carriages started a little slowly because they had to load luggage, but they still caught up, about ten meters away, and were following carefully behind.

Kou Gang winked at Liu Yonglu, and Liu Yonglu patted the young investigator on the shoulder and smiled at him, meaning don't be nervous, just watch me.

"Hastings Street."

"Why, you live in Hastings Street, see, brother, I was right.

This gentleman is obviously a great man, maybe even the speaker of the House of Representatives or the leader of a guild! Otherwise, how could he live in such a lavish place? "

"Hmm, you know Hastings Street too?"

The first half of Liu Yonglu's sentence was obviously spot on. The reason why Rupel snorted coldly was because he was dissatisfied with the second half of the sentence. These two ordinary people obviously underestimated their own identities.

The speaker of the House? The leader of the guild? What on earth are those? How dare they be compared to me!
"Of course, Hastings Street is a well-known rich place in New Brunswick. Hey, those marrow-sucking bastard factory owners and sarcastic black-hearted politicians all live there..."

Liu Yonglu stopped talking halfway as if he had said something wrong, put one hand on his face and slapped himself with the other:

"Look at my mouth. I really can't talk. You are so generous. Just treat it as a fart."

But after Liu Yonglu finished speaking, Prince Rupel was even happier. Why? He hated the Mosesad people the most. To put it more broadly, he hated all the people in the Western Continent.

Liu Yonglu listened carefully and heard the sound of Rupel knocking on the handrail in the carriage. He knew that his slander had hit the nail on the head again.

Kougon had discussed Rupel's information with him, so he naturally knew how to prescribe the right medicine.

"So, you are also somewhat dissatisfied with the nobles of Mosesad?"

"dissatisfied?"

Liu Yonglu pretended to look around, then lifted the curtain and said:
"You are obviously a respectable person with status. And, don't blame me for being sharp-eyed. You are obviously a distinguished guest from a foreign country. That's why I am speaking to you from the bottom of my heart."

Rupel in the car nodded slightly, meaning for him to continue.

"Not only the nobles of Mosesad, but also the royal family, every one of them is a bastard."

"puff!"

The coachman Kogan was drooling, but luckily the carriage was so loud that Rupel didn't hear it. Kogan thought to himself, it has to be Captain Ricky, because he is really ruthless when he gets angry.

"Tell me more specifically."

Prince Rupel twisted the necklace around his neck and said with a smile.

"Hey, how can I say anything good? First of all, the royal family is not kind! They are involved in everything. If you say you are good at it, it's ok, but they make one stupid move after another!

Personally, I am not a very devout follower of the Saint's Wife, but I think the priests and nuns of the Saint's Wife are all very friendly. Tell me, if the royal family listened more to the Saint's Wife, it wouldn't be like this now."

Prince Rupel nodded. All the countries in the southern continent were integrating politics and religion. Liu Yonglu's words hit Rupel right in the heart. Humph, Prince Andrew, a brat, what does he know about governing a country?

When Liu Yonglu saw that there was a way, he added fuel to the fire and fabricated a lot of scandals about the Moses Sadr royal family.

Kogan, the coachman, was shocked. He was listening to the royal family members praising Captain Richie at the dinner two days ago, saying that he was mature, prudent and responsible.

Wow, you are so brave and responsible.

Sure enough, as long as one is a person, no matter his social status or noble identity, there is no one who does not like to listen to gossip. Liu Yonglu made Prince Rupper laugh so hard that he fell backwards.

"It's true that the royal family is hateful, but they don't ride on the heads of ordinary people every day. The most hateful ones are the new aristocrats and factory owners!"

"Oh?"

"I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I still think the old days were good. Everyone earned about the same amount. Life was tight, but there weren't any guys who got rich overnight and showed off in front of you.

Now, we have more and more factories in New Newlon, and there are rich people like old piglets, too numerous to count.

You say, these guys, once they have money, they eat nutritiously, wear fashionable clothes, and waste money. I just can't stand it!

If you have money, you should at least give some to us poor people. These fat-bellied guys are getting even worse!
Take the Continental Exposition, for example.”

At this point, Rupel leaned forward, wanting to hear what the fair was like in the eyes of ordinary people in Mosesad.

"You shouldn't be driving this crap!"

Liu Yonglu's voice was quite loud, which scared Prince Rupel in the carriage. He wondered if he was going to bite someone.

"Ah, we built a lot of crap for this crap expo, but we didn't get any benefits at all. Today we build roads, tomorrow we build houses.

If you meet a black-hearted sheriff who is difficult to talk to, he will make up any excuse and ask you for money.

Take the bridge we are going to cross later, for example. I heard that it was built with money donated by... well, Nicholas."

"This is a good thing." Prince Rupert touched his nose.

"What's so good about that? If you want to cross the bridge, you have to pay! If you don't pay, you won't be allowed to cross. Now let me ask you, are we going to cross the bridge or walk around the river?

I suggest you go around the river, it won’t take you an hour longer anyway.”

Liu Yonglu's true intentions were finally revealed. Kou Gang turned around and looked at his captain as if he were a monster.

One hour! Let me ride in the carriage for another hour! Rupel was almost angry. At the same time, he was also wondering, he had never heard of the rule of tolling for crossing the bridge, maybe the coachman was deceiving him.

“Do you really need to buy a ticket?”

"Hey! You... you... why would I lie to you!" Liu Yonglu pretended to be heartbroken, then turned back and told Kou Gang:

"Hey, let's give it a try. If we can pass, we can help this gentleman save some money and time. If we can't pass, well, it's okay. At most, I'll just have to endure more beatings."

As he spoke, Liu Yonglu winked at Kou Gang, who understood what he meant.

Kougan deliberately chose a bridge because the sheriff on the bridge had similar interests to him. They had often been patrolling the streets together in recent days. He was not very capable, but he was smart.

He drove his carriage at a rapid speed towards the bridge, swerving left and right as he drove, and using his horse's head to hit the back of the carriage in front of him.

The sheriff saw something was wrong and rushed over with his baton to scold him. Just then he saw the gesture made by Kougan and pointed his lips behind him.

The sheriff had no idea what Kougan meant, so he could only respond vaguely:

"You guys! You guys! Pay attention!"

"Ouch!"

Kougan, who was in front of the car, slapped the wooden board under him, meaning that he was being beaten, and turned the car around and drove back.

Prince Rupel could only see the sheriff coming through the small window and hear Kougon screaming before he realized "what was happening".

"Sir, you can see that if we didn't buy the bridge ticket, we two brothers would really get beaten."

Liu Yonglu covered his head and looked back and said, "Ruppel was stunned. The Mosesaders looked well-mannered in suits and ties, but why were they so barbaric when they did things?"
Since there is such a rule, don't be vague and buy it.

Liu Yonglu got off the carriage, found a doughnut stall, bought two doughnuts, wrapped them up and put them in his pocket, then found the lower part of a used theater ticket on the ground, tore off the side with the theater name printed on it, and handed it to Rupel in the carriage.

"Sir, wait a minute, please pull down the window and hold it up. We will get to your house as soon as possible, and the beating we received will not be in vain."

"Ah."

On the bridge, it was still the sheriff. Before he put his baton back, he saw Kougan's carriage coming again. This time, Kougan didn't make any trouble. He just looked straight ahead and whipped the carriage. Instead, a fat man came out of the carriage. He was as fat as an egg, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and showed off to him.

"Open your dog eyes and look! This is a bridge ticket!"

The sheriff was dumbfounded, and so were Rupel's followers who followed behind him, wondering what the hell was wrong with our prince.

"You've seen it all, right? This is the state of New Newland now. Sir, what are you doing here this time? I advise you to go home as soon as you're done with your business."

Liu Yonglu thought to himself, okay, it’s time to move on to the next stage.

"Have you heard of the Alawi Kingdom?"

"Allawi... Allawi... I read in the newspaper that Prince Ruhl of this country is a wise and virtuous ruler.

Not only is he good at governing a country, but he is also very brave. So that family is called... Black, the Black Glass Family, I heard it is also..."

"Hey, Black Gem Family, I am Prince Rupel of the Alawi Kingdom."

Rupel has always been a man who likes to show off and is afraid that others don't recognize him. This time, someone knows his name in advance and is happy to welcome the royal army, so he has to reveal his identity quickly.

"Oh, sir, stop kidding!

I admire this Prince Rupel very much, so don't blame me for saying something unkind if you pretend to be him."

Captain Ricky, Kogan thought to himself, you are such a bad guy.

"What are you talking about? I think you are quite interesting. This is my..."

Rupel was not a factory owner and he did not have any business cards on him, but he carried a small sachet with various spices sewn inside. This was a popular sachet in their Alawi Kingdom, so Rupel took one off and gave it to Liu Yonglu.

"You are really Prince Rupert, you say... well, well, where did you say that?

Among these kings and politicians from various countries, the one I admired most was Prince of Flanders of the Netherlands, who unfortunately passed away a few years ago.

Later on, my favorite queen, Milady of Burgundy, also passed away last year.

Now I admire you the most! "

Kogan Snot Bubble almost laughed out loud. Mr. Richie cursed at him in person, but the other party didn't dare to fart.

Liu Yonglu carefully put the sachet into his pocket. This thing might be useful in investigating the affairs of Mu State in the future.

The carriage drove for another twenty minutes before arriving at Hastings Street, Ruppert's residence.

Big Egg got off the carriage, feeling reluctant to leave Liu Yonglu. This guy is a joke. My team is really lacking a jester. It would be great if we could get him to our Alawi.

He is efficient in work and speaks nicely.

"Well, how much is the fare?" Big Egg looked at the smiling Liu Yonglu and asked the key question.

Hehe, the next chapter will be posted within two hours. After finishing these two chapters, I will be able to make milk for my daughter and send her to kindergarten. Oh, by the way, I should also post another chapter in the evening.
