Chapter 85: The Salt Merchant

"I'm sorry officer, I'm really sorry! It's all a small fault, a few masters, there is some small wine hidden here, come, the kid pours it for the uncle, dissipate his anger!~" Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly took out half a jar of wine from the counter, and while pressing several big men to their seats, he poured wine for several big men with smiling faces.

After calming the emotions of several big men, the shopkeeper quietly walked up to Ye Xianglun again, and gently pulled Ye Xianglun to the next room, and after being reluctantly pulled by the shopkeeper to the next room, Ye Xianglun frowned slightly, wanting to attack, but thinking that the shopkeeper was out of kindness, he just said a little angrily: "Why did you pull me to the seat!"

"Little brother, when you go out, you can bear it! You don't see those strong men all fat and fat body keys, and if you give you a few more, I'm afraid you won't be their opponents. In the room, the shopkeeper led a small child and comforted Ye Xianglun in a serious voice.

"Yes, little brother, I don't hide that I used to run the rivers and lakes, and I have seen too many of this kind of bullying masters, so I just treat them as if they ate feces in their mouths, just don't be like them!"

"Shopkeeper, what kind of dish are you! I don't even smell salt!" said the strong man in the hall while the two were talking.

"Here, a few masters!~" The shopkeeper put down the dishes and chopsticks, made a helpless gesture to Ye Xianglun, and hurriedly walked to the hall, "Uncle doesn't know, our wilderness, it is difficult for cars and horses to enter, and the price of salt in Nanxiang is so high, we poor villagers can't afford to buy salt! ”

"Go grab a few handfuls of salt from the carriage, it's really hard to swallow without putting some salt!" Ye Xianglun heard the strong man who was the leader command.

"Okay! let me go!" After speaking, Ye Xianglun heard the sound of the bench colliding, and listening to the sound, it should be the grumpy man walking out of the hall.

"It turned out to be a few guys selling illicit salt!" Ye Xianglun said in his heart.

After the big man walked out for a while, Ye Xianglun was eating the stew in the bowl by himself, when he suddenly heard a catharsis outside the store, and then heard the big man outside the store running into the hall in a panic.

"Oh no! Oh no, big brother! There seems to be a group of horse bandits outside, and they are burning the fence outside the formation at the moment!" the big man said as he walked into the hall and said in a little panic.

"What!" the big man walked out of the store and immediately walked into the hall and ordered, "Go and copy the guy in the room!

"Yes!!"

Several big men ran back into the room.

"I'm afraid it's the thieves from Yaoshan who are coming!" the shopkeeper walked out of the store and glanced out, and said with a look of grievance, "These thieves have to come to the town several times a year to loot the food and money of our poor villagers, if they don't give it, they will kill people indiscriminately, which is really more domineering than official uniforms!"

"There is such a thing! There is no royal law!" After hearing this, the strong man led by him said in a somewhat empty voice.

"Big brother, if they dare to touch our things, we will fight with him!" At this time, several strong men had already picked up the guys and walked to the hall, and after hearing the shopkeeper's words, they all volunteered.

"All the villagers come out for me, if you don't come out to report for a cup of tea, don't blame us for burning down your house!" several horse bandits shouted as they ran through the streets to the sound of horses' hooves.

"Go out and take a look! dare to say that we are here, watch your head!" the strong man at the head threatened the shopkeeper.

"Even if the villain eats the leopard's gall, he won't dare to confess a few uncles!" the shopkeeper immediately assured with a crying voice.

"Let's go!" After the strong man at the head signaled the shopkeeper to walk out of the store, he immediately ordered the other strong men to close the store.

"A few of our brothers are hiding in the side room!" After speaking, a group of big men walked towards the room where Ye Xianglun was.

After several big men walked into the room, Ye Xianglun was eating stewed meat in the room calmly, and the child in the arms of the shopkeeper's wife saw so many big men pouring into the room at the same time, and he was so frightened that he cried.

"Boy, cry again, Lao Tzu chopped you!" A big man saw the child crying, and hurriedly threatened.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper's wife was so frightened that she hurriedly covered the child's mouth.

Ye Xianglun saw the tears of grievance in Xiao'er's eyes, glanced sideways at these strong men, and showed a disdainful expression on his face to these guys who ate warm and were afraid of hardness.

"Are all these villagers here?" said a thief amidst the commotion outside the door.

"The villagers have arrived!" said another bandit.

"Now that they've arrived, let them hand over their things! If anyone dares to pay less! Be careful that my knife doesn't have eyes!"

Inside the house, the strong man led by the leader opened a gap in the window and looked out, only to see that the whole street outside the house had been lit by torches, and the villagers gathered on the street were standing all over the street. When the strong man at the head saw this, he immediately closed the window with a frightened face.

"Big brother, how many of them are there?" asked a strong man beside Ye Xianglun in a low voice.

"There are hundreds of people, to say the least!"

When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

"I hope these bandits don't find out about our goods, otherwise, I'm afraid we will lose our money this time!" said the strong man at the head with a worried face.

"Six kings! I found a batch of carriages in the side yard of the inn, I don't know what the carriages contained! I also asked King Liu to take a look at it himself!" When everyone in the house was worried, a shout outside the house caused everyone to change color at the same time.

"Oh, take me there!" With a neighing of horses, the six kings turned their horses and walked towards the side courtyard of the inn.

At this moment, after hearing this, everyone hiding in the room gritted their teeth, and all the big men focused their eyes on the face of the strong man at the head at the same time, just waiting for the strong man to give orders.

I saw that the strong man's face changed slightly, and he seemed to hesitate, and whispered: "Wait!"

After hearing this, everyone clenched the hand of the handle of the knife and lowered it slightly.

"Hahahahahaha!! it's a batch of illegal salt, I didn't expect to catch a big fish in this deserted town!

"Shopkeeper Yu, this is a guest of your house?" the bandit at the head turned to the innkeeper and asked.

"Uh......" The shopkeeper couldn't answer for a while.

"Harbouring the salt dealer is punishable! Search for me! You must be caught alive!" The bandits led by the bandit gave an order, and the bandits immediately jumped off their horses and rushed towards the inn.

"It's really too deceitful! Big guy, let's fight!" the strong man led by him gave an order, and several strong men picked up the guy and poured out of the house.

Ye Xianglun heard the clanging fighting sound in the room for less than a cup of tea, after all, several big men were outnumbered, and several big men were easily taken down by the bandits.

On the streets of the town, under the light of bright torches, several salt sellers who were arrogant and domineering before were tied up by a group of thieves at this moment, and knelt side by side in front of the six kings and did not dare to make a sound.

"Trafficking in illicit salt and harboring salt dealers are both serious crimes of the imperial court! After handing them over to the imperial court, the imperial court will definitely be rewarded! The eldest brother will have a good deal with them!" Seeing several salt sellers kneeling down in front of him, the sixth prince said happily.

"Sixth Brother is really wise and powerful!, why didn't I think of this?" beside the six kings, a well-dressed young man complimented.

"Hahaha! That's why the eldest brother wants me to lead the team and doesn't let the ninth brother lead the team!" the six kings teased to the young man beside him with a smile on their faces.

"The sixth brother is really strategizing, and the younger brother has to learn more from the sixth brother!" the young man hugged his fists and laughed.
