On the lively market street, there are many customers coming and going from Xiajia Liquor Shop.
Seeing that the door of this restaurant was closed, many people were puzzled.
The wine was obviously just brought in yesterday, so why isn’t the door open today?
The old man who was drinking with his children was cursing and preparing to leave angrily.
The child next to me pointed curiously at the bronze bird on the roof: "Dad, I want that."
The old man looked up and couldn't understand what this was. He snorted and dragged the child away without saying anything.
Diagonally opposite the Xia Family Liquor Shop, a salt shop set up by the government opened its door.
As before, not many people buy salt.
Bai Song stood opposite the salt shop, fighting the tits on the stall, but his eyes were focused on the people buying salt.
"Hey, do you want to buy it or not? My bird is tickled to death by you." The vendor selling gadgets stared at Bai Song for a long time, and the boss became impatient.
Bai Song listened and stopped teasing. He didn't have the pleasure of playing with birds.
He straightened up, shook his clothes, and went to the salt shop opposite to buy salt.
Like last time, Bai Song bought three more bags of salt.
The price is the same and the portions are the same.
You buy salt in different areas, and the attitude of the salt salesmen is generally the same.
His face was full of impatience, but he was sold out after all.
Holding the salt, Bai Song stood on tiptoe to look at the account book on the counter, but was stopped by the official.
Bai Song could only go back angrily and threw the salt into the kitchen, where he happened to see Cai He baking pancakes.
Bai Song thought about it and asked casually: "Caihe, you said you didn't buy any salt using the name of the Zheng family. Which salt shop did you buy it at?"
"It's a family from Huajiekou."
"Take me to see now."
"yes."
Caihe responded, quickly put out the fire, put the cake on the bed, and followed Bai Song out of the kitchen.
Before leaving, Bai Song looked back at the bronze bird on the roof.
My heart feels a little heavy and I don't know when the time will come.
…
The shop where you can buy lotus and salt is only two-quarters of an hour away.
From the outside, it doesn't look much different from other shops.
The two stood at the street corner. Caihe tried to ask: "Since the master can buy salt every time, why not let me try it?"
"No." Bai Song said.
Now that it is discovered that the Zheng family is related to the salt merchants, let’s connect the story of Cai He.
It is possible that the salt seller sent someone to inform the Zheng family, and the Zheng family only found out about Caihe going out to buy salt.
This matter was not taken seriously by the Zheng family at first, so they just kicked Caihe out of the Zheng family.
After Caihe left the Zheng family, the Zheng family members may have thought of something else. They felt that the matter was serious and wanted to kill someone to silence him.
Only then did he find a money-hungry gangster to chase Caihe.
Now the Zheng family has not found Caihe, so it is safe for now.
If Caihe goes to buy salt again, if he is recognized, wouldn't Caihe be put in danger again?
"Just wait here, I'll go over and try first. If the situation doesn't make any difference, then ask someone else to try."
With that said, Bai Song went alone.
Not long after, Bai Song came back again with a bag of salt, frowning, and seemed to have gained nothing.
Just when Bai Song was about to say something, Caihe's expression suddenly changed. He suddenly pulled Bai Song to his side and quickly backed away until he was facing behind a nearby tree.
"how?"
"Master Bai, it's... that person..."
Caihe's voice was trembling, and his eyes were full of fear.
Bai Song looked in the direction Caihe pointed, and his pupils shrank suddenly.
I saw seven or eight strong men who looked like thugs lying on the ground at the entrance of a flower house in front of me, with blood all over the ground.
A stronger man came out proudly.
Seeing this person, Bai Song clenched his fists.
Although this person is not wearing a raincoat today, nor is he carrying a bamboo hat.
But Bai Song still recognized this person as his enemy.
This man had an aura that was completely different from the people around him. Even if he turned into ashes, Bai Song could still recognize him.
Moreover, this person had obvious burns on his face, which looked a little oozing.
It also verified what Bai Song was thinking, that his burns were caused that night.
It can be seen from time to time that although this person is powerful, he is not a god. He is also a mortal body and will eventually be injured.
After the last defeat, Bai Song would not act rashly again.
Looking at the calm weather, Bai Song could only endure this sigh for now.
Everyone on the street looked at this weirdo with fear and gave way to him.
This man walked away in such a swagger, showing no weakness to everyone around him, and his arrogance was clearly displayed.
Bai Song didn't say anything and watched as the person at the door of the flower building was helped by the girl in the flower building and sent to the doctor.
Bai Song's heart moved, and he took Cai He to the Flower House.
The Madam of Hualou wiped her tears and walked into the building.
"Hey!" Bai Song shouted.
The madam didn't even look back: "We won't do any business today!"
"I just want to ask, what happened?"
"Ask me! What a stupid question! I'm unlucky enough to encounter something like this."
"Why don't you report it to the official?"
"Reporting to the official? It's useless! I don't know where the bad guy came from, and he doesn't even care about it."
"If the government doesn't care, I can."
After hearing this, the madam finally stopped and turned around. Seeing Bai Song's elegant appearance, he sneered: "Oh, I thought I was some kind of hero, but it turned out to be such a young young master. You saw how strong that man was.
Have you seen how many people were beaten under my hands until they couldn’t stand up? Your body is not big enough for others to breathe."
"It doesn't matter if you talk about it and listen to it. If you can control it or not, that's my business."
The old bustard looked at Bai Song strangely, feeling that this young master had extraordinary bearing. He might be a child of a wealthy family, or he might actually know some dignitary.
"You come in."
After hearing this, Bai Song followed him into the building.
The girls in the flower building had all gone out to look after the beaten man, and the building was empty.
But the hall was in a mess, with broken tables, chairs and benches everywhere, as well as various food soups and fragments of porcelain tea cups. The stairs and corridors leading upstairs were also beaten to pieces.
"Look, how big a loss is this? I've been working hard for a year and a half, but I can't make back the loss I have today."
"Why did it happen?"
"I have raised a baby for ten years, and I have never met the host of the guest. He forced me to see him without telling him, and he slept with me without spending any money. How can this be done? I didn't expect that man to be so disrespectful.
Reasonable, he started fighting when we disagreed. He beat the girl without telling me, but he also smashed the shop. He smashed the shop without telling me, but he also beat my customers. He looked like a monster, and my girl was so scared that she cried when she saw him.
Already."
Bai Song looked at the scene and asked, "Do you know your identity?"
"How do I know? He didn't say a few words. He is obviously not a local. He is a wild beast who jumped out of nowhere."
"Where is the girl who accompanied him? Does that girl know?"
"My poor daughter was beaten until she was covered in blood. Who would care about that?"
"What about the girl? I can help treat her."
"Um?"
"I'm a doctor."
The old bustard was doubtful and took Bai Song up the shabby stairs to the third floor.
In the corridor, Bai Song could hear slight moans and cries.
In the room, a young girl had a bruised face, blood at the corner of her mouth, and seemed to have a broken leg.
"Why don't you send this injury to a doctor?"
"Young master, this is already good. Didn't you see those at the door? You're almost out of breath. Of course, you need to save those people first."
Bai Song didn't say much: "Is there any medicine here?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Get some medicine."
After listening to Bai Song's words, the old bustard went to get the medicine for the wound first.
Bai Song helped the girl sit down on the bed and looked at her legs.
"It's a broken bone. I'll help the girl recover. I'll endure some pain."
The girl was in unbearable pain, biting her lower lip tightly, and her tears kept coming.
I just heard the delicate and gentle voice of this young man, and after taking a closer look, I found that he was really good-looking.
"What is that?" Bai Song suddenly asked indifferently.
"Um?"
The girl murmured doubts, and instantly felt a stinging pain in her legs.
"ah!"
Before the girl could react, Bai Song had already stood up and only said: "Okay."
alright?
The girl was in a daze, her leg was still hurting, but it was not like she couldn't touch it just now, and she could actually move slightly.
By then, the madam came back with the medicine, and Bai Song began to give the medicine to the girl.
While applying the medicine, ask questions.
The girl endured the pain and whispered what had just happened.
It turned out that it was the man who forced this girl to be his companion, and this girl was a good young lady who was being cultivated by the housekeeper in the building, and she had not thought about having any guests.
I just saw that the man was not easy to mess with, so I had no choice but to comply with his request.
Unexpectedly, that person didn't understand the rules at all, and he was very careless with the servants.
And the girl was not submissive, and soon made the other party angry.
I don't care much about these news.
But the girl said: "That person is not like a person from the Tang Dynasty. He doesn't understand what a prostitute is. He thinks that he is just like other prostitutes and can do whatever he wants."
Not from the Tang Dynasty!
Bai Song was shocked. In Jixian, they could only be Turks.
That person's reminder is also very similar to the Turks.
Then I asked the girl about the accent of the other person, and it turned out that he spoke unauthentic Chinese.
The Turks are in Jixian and have contacts with the Zheng family...
After a casual investigation, Bai Song suddenly felt that he was about to find the answer.
"Girl, you have a good rest and you will recover in three to five days. I will take my leave now."
"Sir, what's your name?"
"Bai Yutang."
Leaving behind a pseudonym, Bai Song left with Cai He.
Back at the shop, Bai Song called several brothers in the backyard who were getting better from their injuries.
"Go to the north gate and keep an eye on it to see if there is any salt among the goods entering and leaving the city these days."
"Okay, Master Bai."
"But be careful and don't take any chances."
…
Three days later, I heard that the imperial court would appoint a censor to inspect Youzhou.
Will arrive in Jixian County in the next two days.
It is said that the war in the northwest of Youzhou is stalemate, and the emperor is worried that the Turkic army will take a detour and attack from the northeast of Youzhou.
The inspection censor mainly inspects the garrison situation in Youzhou border area.
But everyone knows that the inspection censor has no control over the affairs of the garrison.
The inspection censor came to review officials from various places.
Since they came to Youzhou, the imperial court naturally felt that there was something wrong with the officials in Youzhou.
When the governor of Youzhou learned of this, he took charge of all matters and prepared to welcome the censor.
