Chapter seventy-ninth can be considered to fall into the hands
Chapter 79: It’s finally in your hands
Secretary Guan was so frightened that he fell to his knees on the ground when Li You asked him sternly.
Li You's mind turned. Now is not the time to interrogate him. It is important to send people to the scene to arrest him. He pointed at the clerk and ordered to the disciples: "Watch him! If he escapes, your whole family will be questioned!"
Afterwards, Li You went out of the house and asked the soldiers on night duty to blow their bamboo whistles. After a while, fifty or sixty people had gathered.
Without further ado, there is no need to wait for the assembly to be completed. Li You temporarily assigned three teams to be the leaders of this team and ordered: "Divide into two roads on land and one on water. Go to the pier quickly to outflank, bring all the bows and crossbows, and chaos first.
Shoot the enemy with arrows, and kill them even if they resist! Check the illegal salt, and half of the reward will be given to you. If there is any chance, Nal and the whole family will ask for help! I will do what I say!"
Originally, it didn’t matter whether the illegal salt thing was caught or not. There were too many illegal salt sellers in the world. It didn’t matter where I could catch them. It didn’t matter if my subordinates secretly smuggled some illegal salt. It was treated as a work benefit. Li You wasn’t like that.
Everything is taken care of.
But Secretary Guan's nervousness made Li You suspicious and curious. Why did he want to hide this from me? Why was he still so nervous? There must be some inside story, so he sent someone to arrest him and see what was going on.
The large group of people responded to the order and left. Inspection Li just watched the people disappear into the night. The son of a rich man could not sit down in court, he would not imitate those protagonists of Internet novels who act like officials and are like gangsters and lead the charge into battle.
Returning to the class room, Li You asked Secretary Guan: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The official Guan Shuli collapsed on the ground and poured beans out of a bamboo tube.
It is said that the salt policy of the country is extremely bad. At a rough calculation, almost half of the salt sold in the world is private salt. Nowadays, private salt is sold semi-publicly.
In this case, the private salt dealers are really aggressive in selling, and the profits are high. The cost of salt per kilogram is less than one cent, and the official salt actually sells for three cents. What is the profit margin of the private salt? The premise is that the patrol is smooth, regardless of
To resist with force or to use money, favors and power.
The inspections everywhere are also proactive, and there are many benefits. The premise is that you can catch the stolen goods. How to deal with it later depends on the situation of each party. As for the private salt dealers, they only make a living, unless they are really ignorant.
It doesn’t have to be too difficult.
The dock in Xishui Town has many informants from the Inspection Department, but sometimes reporting it is useful, sometimes reporting it is useless. There are particularities in what should be checked and what should not be checked, and many times they just turn a blind eye.
.Li You didn't bother to change these things when he took office, he just followed the usual routine.
Besides, the official of Guan Dynasty had a wealthy businessman uncle who planned to marry his daughter to the family of a civil servant. However, the trend was extravagant these days. He was afraid that the civil servant would dislike his family and wanted to prepare more dowry to increase his social status. So he gritted his teeth and planned to use it.
The family's ship sold a large amount of private salt and made huge profits to marry off the daughter.
But the uncle of the clerk had greatly offended the new inspection inspector Li You. Li You might have turned a blind eye to others, but he must have been strictly investigated, so he went to his nephew to discuss it.
The official Guan Shuli did come up with an idea. He said that Inspector Li was not at the official office for the past two days. He heard that he had been left in the county by the magistrate and would not come back. It happened to be his turn to be on duty at night, so he asked his uncle to transport goods ashore tonight. Although there were thousands of kilograms of private goods.
It is almost impossible for the salt not to be discovered. But in the inspection department, the clerk is on duty at night, and there is no boss. As long as you get the tip and wait for half an hour, wait for the goods to be transported, and then send out soldiers to arrest them as a bluff, then
Nothing happened.
Sometimes it's just a coincidence. Li You happened to go to the Inspection Department to sleep after going around a lot tonight. In fact, Li You went to bed as soon as he came. Being in the backyard would not affect the Secretariat's plan, and the Secretariat had to take over the report.
But it was a coincidence that Li You happened to look at the bed quilt left by his old father-in-law. He was not used to it and couldn't sleep, so he ran to the front room to chat with the clerk.
Finally, there was another coincidence, and Li You was asked to receive the report...
The above explanations by the official Guan Shuli naturally concealed his uncle's identity... If Mr. Li knew who it was, there was no guarantee that there would be any adverse consequences. He thought about the fact that there were men on the dock to unload the goods. His uncle was also a small rich man, so he should
I won't be personally involved in danger at home. As long as I don't get caught and recognized at the scene, my personal safety won't be a big problem.
Li You smiled kindly and said, "I didn't notice this at all. I just saw you were nervous and wanted to see what you were hiding, so I stayed here. It's just a matter of helping relatives transport private salt, and it's worth your while."
How can I be so unreasonable when you are so nervous? If you are caught this time, there is nothing you can do about it. Everyone just wants to let you go next time."
That's your enemy. Do you dare to do it again? Secretary Guan is really on the verge of tears. How could his plan, which was so seamless, become full of loopholes? He really shouldn't be so nervous that he loses his shape and attracts attention.
But having said that, could he not be nervous? His uncle had really offended Inspector Li to death. At that time, Inspector Li didn't know he was just his uncle.
After more than half an hour, the people who went out to seize smuggling came back one after another. The harvest was quite fruitful. They seized nearly 2,000 kilograms of smuggled salt, worth 500 taels (based on the deceptive price of official salt). All the soldiers who participated were smiling.
, according to the reward offered by the inspection master, each person can get twenty kilograms of salt, which is really a lot.
Except for those who ran away, six criminals were captured and detained in the court hall to await punishment. Inspector Li came to the hall after receiving the report. After sitting down the case, he scolded and asked: "Who are you in the hall? Where do you live?"
One person apologized and said with a smile: "Misunderstandings are all misunderstandings, and villains have their own faults."
This person looked familiar to Li You. He must be someone who often works in the town. It is normal for a smuggler of salt to have a small amount of real and fake salt as a cover. Since the salt goods have been detained, there is really no need.
No matter how difficult it is, this can be regarded as an unspoken rule.
Li You said: "You are sneaking out in the middle of the night and doing bad things. No wonder you have caused misunderstandings among good people. I don't think there is any bad deeds, so I will forgive you for the time being! Go to the side hall and write down your name and residence and then go!"
The six of them thanked the inspector and were about to go out. Among them, there was a middle-aged man who was a bit obese and was hiding behind with his head lowered, which caught Li You's attention.
"Wait a minute!" Li You pointed at the fat middle-aged man and said, "Shine your face with a candle! I want to take a closer look."
Then a handyman came up with a candle and lit up the face of the obese middle-aged man.
It's actually him! The master of the Guan family who proposed marriage to the Li family twice but regretted it twice. He couldn't write two characters of Guan in one stroke. It turns out that this is the uncle of Secretary Guan!
No wonder Secretary Guan was so nervous that he almost collapsed. The crime of two thousand kilograms of smuggled salt fell into the hands of Inspector Li, who was not a good person. He had to shed half of his skin even if he died. How did Li You turn his hands over and play with Inspector Hong? Guan Shuli
Officials are clearly aware of their purpose.
It is said that Li You held a grudge for those two slaps in the face, not to mention the fact that the Li family's face had not been restored! This time the real owner fell into his own hands, and new and old hatreds came to his heart. Li You said with gnashing of teeth.
: "Except the customs officer! Are you okay after not seeing me for many days? Do you know how serious a crime it is to smuggle thousands of kilograms of salt?"
Those criminals knew that something was wrong when they heard the inspector's unkind tone. Ordinarily, being caught was not a big deal. We had no grudges against the inspector. Under normal circumstances, the inspector would not have to eat enough to support himself.
What about you? I just handed over the goods and went home with a tacit understanding. Just be more careful next time. Just like doing business, there will always be losses and gains. In fact, Inspector Li has already sent them away.
But you shouldn’t, you shouldn’t, this bastard who wants to die has a grudge against the local inspection team, and he dares to sell smuggled salt on his property. Are you so stupid that you are deliberately seeking death and want to bring us into partnership to back you up? This is purely true.
Is this a scam?
All the prisoners couldn't help but look at the customs officer with extremely hostile eyes.
