Zhou Kongmu racked his brains, and an officer and soldier next to him looked at him for a long time and said, "That, that ......"

"What?" Zhou Kongmu encouraged him to say what he had to say. Any small lead can be significant.

"Oh," the officer said, encouraged him, "are you the detective in the play?" ”

"......" Zhou Kongmu was speechless for a moment, reciting the standard answer, "No." How could I be so capable? ”

"Oh, I don't look like you." The officers and soldiers believed Zhou Kongmu, "You don't have that much strength, and you don't have kung fu." ”

"yes." Zhou Kongmu lowered his head and wiped away a drop of cold sweat.

"So, have you seen that detective? What is it like? Is it really that capable? Is it true that he has yin and yang eyes and can see ghosts? The officers and soldiers continued to be curious.

...... "What the hell is this?" You can't blame the prince's joker. None of the jokers have such brains. This is completely spread and broken out by the people.

"Handle the case!" Zhou Kongmu said with a dark face, "If you can't get it back, how can you explain?" Do you still want to live?! ”

"Oh!" Officers and soldiers come back from the gossip soul and handle cases! ――Where can you do it?

Zhou Kongmu looked at a rut, and his eyes lit up. He thought: The prisoner has fallen. But can you follow the vine and wipe out all the thieves in the back? Especially the bandit leader, can you catch it this time? Could it be the gang of thieves who robbed the eldest grandson of Jincheng?

How does he know! That gang of thieves is the Salt Gang of Butterfly Smile. And Butterfly Xiaohua has already moved to the southwest with the main force.

Taking advantage of the fact that the imperial court was busy with the great water in the south of Beijing, Diexiaohua opened up the salt road in the southwest. Salt boiled in the sea on the southeast side. It can be supplied directly to Xijon. Xijon is rich in gold, silver and precious stones, and is a transit point connecting Middle-earth and the small countries in the west, and is extremely rich in products, but unfortunately it is a lack of salt. Some places in the mountains produce rock salt, for local animals to lick a few bites, to say how many people to supply, that is, cats see salted fish - sniffing fish, sniffing fish.

The salt of Xijon is imported from the east and west.

In the west, it is not convenient to cross the western countries and bring salt from the western sea. It's just because the western soil is huge. The so-called "small states of the west". That's the saying of the Central Plains, and as far as they are concerned, there are too many intertwined empires, kingdoms, vassal states, alliances, and states. In fact, the population relationship is more complex than that of the Central Plains, and the land is more extensive. In terms of population. They were uniformly called "Semu people" by the Central Plains. In fact, there are many differences in eye color, skin color, and hair color. Each of these is a new race. As far as land is concerned, it is the people of the Central Plains who admit - even if it is only a vague impression - that at least they admit that there is a large piece of land over there.

in this land. There are saltwater lakes and rock salt, but after all, they are not as good as the West Sea. To supply salt to the whole territory of Xirong, it is transported from there, the road is long, and the freight is expensive, and it is not as convenient as the East China Sea in the east of the Central Plains.

The Daling Dynasty didn't have to blackmail them, but in line with the principle of "not allowing others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch", they deliberately wanted to strangle their throats. Xijon faced a dilemma: buy salt from the west, which is more expensive; Buy salt from the east, be careful if you have to say good things, and sometimes sign a political treaty or something, which is more aggrieved.

With the smugglers coming, that's good! Sijon was finally able to buy cheaper salt, and there were no other conditions attached, as long as he paid cash in one hand and received the goods in the other.

For smuggler salt dealers, they can trade steadily with large customers, without having to go through the streets and alleys to negotiate prices with one household at a time, and weigh one package and one bowl, which is too convenient and can save a lot of manpower. After the trading time is reduced, the risk of being discovered and ambushed by officers and soldiers during the transaction is relatively reduced.

With a large amount of stable income and manpower saved, Diexiaohua quickly arranged new investments and bought some new merchants.

Some younger brothers with a little economic acumen, such as Chi Tao, advised him: "Salt bar! Boss Lin has run away, can we really do this business? Why don't you buy some land? ”

When the fox lady heard this, she laughed at him: "Dead Hu butcher, don't eat muddy pigs?" The whole country will do business with her skirt surnamed Lin? Why do you have to buy land! ”

Chi Tao said angrily: "It's better for you to be quiet in your mother's inn." ”

The words were heavy, and the fox lady immediately sank her face. Chi Tao held his left hand with his left hand, changed his center of gravity from his right foot to his left foot uneasily, and said, "That's not what I meant. ”

The fox lady lived in her mother's shadow at that time, and she didn't say a word all day. After coming out of there, she was spicy. But this time, after all, it came at the cost of suffering from the government. mentioning this is equivalent to lifting the fox lady's scar.

The fox lady brushed her sleeves away.

"Oh, it's not easy to monetize. In case the government finds out and detains the land, we will have nothing. Just in case, put some assets that are easy to transfer! Butterfly Xiaohua thought deeply and said, "Business should only be reliable first, but not too big, so as not to be too eye-catching." Don't rush, take your time. ”

The leader of the jade block praised him for his wisdom, and everyone seconded it.

Chi Tao felt that Butterfly Xiaohua's plan this time was not wise! If you put cash in your hand, you won't make a little money by yourself. Take your time, and you lose interest. And is it necessarily easy for business to transfer? Not necessarily! And business has to be mobile to make money. Isn't it more likely that the government will pay attention to it in the middle of the flow? So-

Next, Die Xiaohua began to arrange this "so" task: buy off officials!

This is not a familiar territory for Butterfly Xiaohua. He doesn't have much of a network to use, but the movement will be relatively large, so he has to buy people temporarily.

But he went against the norm and stared at not those big bosses, but some small officials and petty officials with leftovers, and even some celebrities who were idle. The reason is: the big officials have been fed with a big appetite, and the cost of buying is high. And our identity is too ugly, if the truth is really discovered, those big officials are like ghosts, and they won't cover us. They have wide eyeliner and are more likely to see through us. Shall we not give them a large sum of money to arrest us? It's better to burn those so-called small cold stoves, they have little energy, little knowledge, and it is not easy to dismantle us, and we carefully select those small cold stoves in the critical process, or the students' children in the important positions, although the official position is low, but they can do practical things. It's so affordable.

Yu Yanzi once again admired: "How can you touch them as officials so thoroughly!" Again, the crowd seconded.

Chi Tao still feels a little problematic: Is it really good to just buy the little ghost and not flatter the judge? After all, the conventional practice is to get the big head first. Aren't all the precedents of so many predecessors stupid, there is always a reason for them, right?

"What does Brother Chi think?" Butterfly Xiaohua asked. seemed to sit in the chair casually, and his eyes fell on Chi Tao, Chi Tao was shocked: he can't forget that Jì Butterfly Smile Flower is a personal essence! He slandered his belly, but he couldn't be discovered by Butterfly Xiaohua, otherwise it would be bad after all.

He drew the fire to the jade block: "I think, the eldest brother is newly married, he is in good spirits, and he is very happy to watch and talk." ”

For a while, everyone laughed and congratulated Yu Baozi again. The jade barricade's face was red.

He finally took his mother out and married Fu Luo. The murder committed in his hometown made the government go to the sea to catch papers. In short, he completely gave up the identity of Fang Cheng Lu Erlang and was relieved to be his robber brother here. His mother is well hidden by Butterfly Xiaohua, and she is basically not afraid of danger. His mother doesn't know about his identity as a robber at the moment, maybe she will find out later? At that time, she should be able to accept the reality.

The reality that Yulanzi can't fully accept now is: Fu Luo married him, really?

Too much happiness is as deep as too deep horror, and it can make people lose their sense of reality.

Jade Basket remembers the light of the red candle, remembers that the brothers made him worry that he would scare Fu Luo, and remembers the soft ...... after blowing out the candle The softness trembled beneath him. I even cried. He was so frightened that he kept assuring her, "I'll be good to you." "Guaranteed until dawn.

When I looked at her after dawn, it was more beautiful than under a candle. He thought she couldn't be more beautiful.

After that, it's not enough to be humane. In short, the beauty of newlyweds is nothing more than this. Almost everyone has this time, and the jade block has finally tasted it.

Now he wholeheartedly supports Butterfly Xiaohua's strategy: gradually whitewash the Salt Gang and make the robbers into business! Although it is still smuggled and smuggled now, it is different to do business with a big country! Since then, everyone's lives have been stabilized. It's still a black business, and at least most people's lives will look like ordinary people. So how nice is it that everyone can start a family and enjoy the happiness he just enjoyed?

The most enjoyable thing is the salt bar. That's what Jade Blocker thinks. He believes that everyone means the same thing. It's a pity that Qu is high and widowed, the more dragons and phoenixes, the more difficult it is to find a mate, which is as good as a small snake and a little ant.

Lin Daiyu is rare to be matched with a butterfly smile, Yu Yanzi admitted. But who knows what other girls think? Say run and run! Butterfly Xiaohua knew, and she didn't deadpull it back, and the raw rice was cooked and ripened. And let her go.

Then, for the rest, the jade blocker doesn't know what to do.

The fox lady is unrequited in love with Butterfly Smile Flower, almost everyone knows that it is rare that she can match Butterfly Smile Flower in terms of appearance and ability. But the torture she suffered in the official mansion left her wounds after all. Wife and wife, who turn off the lights and want to spend the night in the bed, will have to count on having children in the future. Wounded and scarred...... Jade Barrier doesn't want to think so about his sworn sister, but if he wants to match the butterfly smile...... It's still a little bit close, right?

Besides, Chi Tao treats the fox lady differently, which is also known to everyone. No matter how this relationship is matched, it is also difficult to handle!

Yu Lanzi paid special attention to the news from the capital. I always want to see how Miss Lin is doing when she goes back. (To be continued......)
