"These Nanman salt traders from the land of restraint are so arrogant!"
Lu Wenyang yelled angrily, got on the sedan and headed towards the dock outside the city.
He has decided to go to Xuzhou to sue the Qingfu County Government for its cover-up and connivance of the illegal salt incident. This is a complete break with the county government. If the county government fails to sue, then he will go to Luzhou and sue.
The pacification envoy on Tongchuanfu Road reported it to the Transportation Department.
When the sun shines brightly, he no longer believes there is anything unreasonable in the world.
"It's so blatant to kill people and destroy shops!" Lu Gui, the steward who was walking next to the sedan, cursed angrily.
"How could the county allow private salt dealers to destroy official salt shops? Has such a ridiculous thing happened since ancient times? This was still under the rule of the Song Dynasty?!"
Lu Wenyang cursed again and took a few deep breaths before calming down a little. He looked down at the petition in his hand, thinking that Zhizhou was an upright official and could not bribe. Fortunately, the evidence on this matter was solid, and Zhizhou would never be able to shield Wu Tong.
It's strange to say that I really don't understand what County Lieutenant Li was thinking. Did he think that Zai Qingfu could cover up the sky with one hand? How dare he indulge his selfishness like this...
On the road from the east of the county seat to the dock, Wu Hou was standing there with a knife.
"Brother, are we being too arrogant by doing this?"
"I'm too arrogant?" Wu Hou was surprised and cursed: "Look clearly, who did it too much?! Tang Ergeng died before opening, what now? Even shopkeeper Du and the others dared to kill him, this
Is his mother still a salt merchant?! Is there any difference between salt merchants like Qingfu and bandits!"
"Yes, I think they are too crazy, but why don't we let the county magistrate handle it first? After all, the person named Li took our money."
"What a waste of law! The case has been investigated over and over again, and it's even during the Chinese New Year! Didn't you realize that the dog surnamed Lu is going to take the matter to the state government?" Wu Houdao said.
"But this... the commotion is so big, can the person named Li really settle things for us?"
"Don't worry." Wu Hou said: "That bitch made it clear to the cripple that all the big things have been taken care of for us, so let's do it for him. Stop talking nonsense. I'll take you to Lu's house tonight, and the Yin family will be happy
happy."
"Okay!"
The group of people turned around and saw in the distance a group of nursing staff slowly approaching on a sedan chair.
Wu Tong acted simply and led his people up. Before the bearers who were guarding the courtyard could react, he stabbed them with knives.
Indiscriminate killing in broad daylight...
"Killing! Killing!"
The shouting came, and Yin Ji turned around to look, only to see one of his stewards running over quickly, covered in blood.
"Alang...kill...kill someone..."
"Speak slowly, what happened?"
"Wu Hou led his men to kill Lu Gui on the road. Lu Gui fled all the way back from outside the city and then ran to the city gate. Wu Hou's men chased him... and hacked him to death with random swords."
Yin Ji was shocked, his face turned pale, and he turned to look at Yan Yunyun who was sitting across from him.
Today, he was invited by Yan Yunyun to Qinxiang Teahouse to discuss matters. He thought he had an explanation, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
"You...private salt dealers are so reckless, do you think the county really doesn't care?"
"Manage it." Yan Yunyun said with a smile: "Of course the county will take care of it. But I'm not the county magistrate. I'm here to talk to Yuan Yin about buying a salt shop."
"You...how do you want to buy it?"
"Including the shop, the remaining two warehouses of salt, this year's salt production, and the people who work... In short, I will buy the entire business you have."
"What's the price?"
"Five thousand strings."
"It's ridiculous! My salt guide is worth 50,000 guan."
Yan Yunyun said "Oh" and just smiled.
Her smile might have been tempting before, but now it's just scary.
Yin Ji was trembling with fear and said: "You are taking things by force! Do you really believe that you can block the sky in Qingfu County with just one hand? Aren't you afraid of the king's law?!"
"Look at what you said. If you want to sell it, sell it. If you don't want to sell it, don't sell it. Is this a little girl forcing you?"
County government.
Jiang Chun still had a forced smile on his face and said seriously: "Feiyu, you really can't make things such a big deal."
"So as not to affect the county magistrate's promotion?" Li Xia asked rhetorically.
"Haha, I'm joking, I'm joking." Jiang Chun said: "It's so outrageous that it alarmed the court. How can it be a good thing?"
Li Xia didn't answer. He turned to look outside the door and saw officials coming and going.
Jiang Chun felt slightly embarrassed.
He knew that Li Xia had received Wu Tong's money and cooperated with him to sell private salt in Qingfu. This kind of thing was also a common thing in the Song Dynasty. He didn't want to take care of it, but recently he had gone too far, almost to the point of lawlessness.
This is still selling smuggled salt, this is becoming a robber.
I just don’t know why Li Xia is so determined to condone Wu Tong that people don’t know how to persuade him.
"Feiyu, you and I are officials of the same county..."
"The county magistrate is right." Li Xia said suddenly, "We really can't just sit idly by and do nothing anymore."
Jiang Chun was stunned, thinking that he hadn't said anything yet.
I saw that Li Xia had actually stood up and said: "I will go and capture those private salt dealers and bring back the clear blue sky."
He had already seen Han Chengxu making a gesture in the corridor, indicating that the key figures of the Lu family had been killed and the Yin family's business had been sold out.
Jiang Chun was stunned again. He didn't expect that even after Fang Yankai had tried to persuade him for so long, Li Xia was still unmoved. Only then did he say half a sentence, and he actually agreed to suppress the private gang. spanstyle>谷/spanstyle

"Is Feiyu just perfunctory with me?"
"The county magistrate will sit down for a moment and you will know when I get someone."
Yin Ji sighed and put a pledge on the deed.
He looked at Yan Yunyun, with a hint of hatred in his painful eyes, and couldn't help but curse: "If you are so lawless, sooner or later something will happen!"
"Why do you have to be quick to talk?" Yan Yunyun said with a smile: "You are willing to sell, I am willing to buy, it is a matter of mutual consent."
"If you dare to persecute me, you will be punished by heaven."
"In the past, I sold laughter in a brothel. When someone came to buy it, I sold it regardless of whether I wanted to or not. But no official was sent to death. You see, we are all the same."
"snort!"
Yan Yunyun walked to the window and looked at Qingfu Street.
Yin Ji was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard her say again: "Come here, let me show you something fun."
Turning his head, he saw Yan Yunyun pursed his lips and smiled, waving.
Yin Ji frowned and walked to the window. He saw Wu Hou walking from the long street with more than ten people. The knife was still stained with blood. Passers-by gave way.
Jiang Fan was leading a group of archers to eat noodles at a street stall. He stood up to greet them, with a smile on his face.
"Is this still under the rule of the Song Dynasty?" Yin Ji murmured.
"Don't be afraid, just watch." Yan Yunyun turned to look at the other end of the long street, his eyes fell on Li Xia, and he stared at him for a long time.
"Don't worry, with the prestige and ability of the county captain, how can this matter not be suppressed?"
Jiang Fan had not yet swallowed the meat in his mouth. He was chewing and talking, looking very enthusiastic.
"Haha, then thank you, Team Leader Jiang." Wu Hou said, "To be honest, the salt merchants did it first, and I was just resisting. If you feel it's hard to explain, then give them a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy.
…”
Halfway through his words, he turned his head and murmured: "Is that Li County Lieutenant coming in person?"
"yes."
"Finally he showed up." Wu Hou said with a smile: "If you want to make a fortune in Qingfu territory in the future, you should also ask Lieutenant Li to pay your respects to the dock."
"Brother, please put away the knife when you see the county captain."
"good……"
Ahead, Li Xia raised his hand and shouted: "Take down these murderers!"
The smile on Wu Hou's face froze. Before he could react, a hook was stuck on his neck and he pulled hard!
"ah!"
The hook pulled at his throat, and blood kept spurting out.
"Wu Hou sells illegal salt, burns, kills, robs and kidnaps. Now he will be arrested in accordance with the law. If he dares to resist, he will be killed!"
"Take it!"
"..."
Wu Hou's face was covered in blood, and he almost fainted from the pain. He stared at Jiang Fan's ferocious face, his eyes almost popping out of his sockets.
He wanted to shout, "You have received our money, so you can't do this," but he couldn't. The words stuck in his throat and made him extremely angry.
His brother has always been the most trustworthy in business, giving money as he said without any ambiguity, but this time he encountered such a villain.
Those who treacherously will be punished by heaven and earth!
His mind was filled with the curse of "Heaven and Earth will be destroyed", and he still wanted to stand up and resist...
"puff."
Jiang Fan slashed with his sword again and shouted: "Anyone who dares to resist will be killed! Qingfu County will not tolerate bandits running rampant!"
In the teahouse, Yin Ji looked at this scene and pouted.
Yan Yunyun chuckled, covered his mouth and said, "What a pity. Yuan Yin must be thinking that if he hadn't transferred the business to me, Wu Hou would have died soon anyway."
"you……"
Yan Yunyun said: "You said that the county government protected the private salt, but how could you say that? Didn't County Lieutenant Li personally come out to collect the private salt and eliminate the bandits? This is a peaceful place under the rule of the Song Dynasty."
"You... you plot against me! You plot against me deliberately. If I don't give you my business, you will still kill me."
"Haha, how can I do it? How can I admit it?"
"Bitch!"
Yin Ji was furious and immediately rushed towards Yan Yunyun.
"I'll strangle you to death, you bitch...oh!"
Yan Yunyun raised her foot and kicked him in the crotch. He took a few steps back and spat: "I am smiling and playing with you. I don't know how to show appreciation."
Yin Ji bent over and fell to the ground, his face twitching in pain, and he still cursed bitterly: "You bitch..."
"Come here, this old guy wants to take advantage of the chaos to bully me, kick me out..."
