Su Miao was stunned for a moment, followed the sound and walked over, but it was a dead end at the end, a high rockery was blocked in front of him, the speaker's voice was obviously coming from behind the rockery, there seemed to be a lot of people walking behind the rockery, and the steward kept saying "You guys hurry up", it sounded like he was moving goods.

The people who move goods in the Hou Mansion must be the people in the Hou Mansion, Su Miao was happy in his heart, looked at the rockery in front of him, and looked at the deep and unfinished path behind him, if he goes back and doesn't say that he may not meet other people, in case there is a fork in the middle and then go lost, it will be bad, although the rockery in front of him is very high, but the carving is very skillful, and people should be able to climb up. After thinking for a while, she grabbed the mountain rock with both hands, jumped up like a cat, and climbed to the top of the mountain in a short time.

At the other end of the rockery is a wide bluestone road, Su Miao held the raised stone on the top of the mountain with both hands and looked down, and there were indeed many families on the broad boulevard. Uh, it is said that it is a family ding, and it doesn't look like a family ding, because since she entered the Hou Mansion, all the family maids she has seen are well-trained, don't look at them as just subordinates, those people have a different aura than ordinary people, and if these people in front of her are not wearing the uniforms of the Hou Mansion family ding, she thought that she had just grabbed a group of untrained flat-headed people to come over to work as handymen. In addition, a man of five big and three thick men was standing on the side of the road with a leather whip at the moment and urging loudly, and the men who were transporting the goods were each carrying a one-person-high sack on their shoulders, and they were carrying it forward, how strange this scene was.

Because she felt weird, Su Miao, who originally wanted to shout and ask for directions, subconsciously swallowed the words she wanted to blurt out. Lying on the top of the rockery, the fox looked suspiciously at the people below.

A thin young man's face did not look very good, yellow and blue, and a little malnourished. happened to pass by in front of the rockery, accidentally fell, and I don't know whether the sack on his shoulder was not tied tightly or he fell too hard, the sack slipped from his shoulder and fell to the ground, and half a bag of things was scattered, a piece of white flowers.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and she hadn't figured out what that thing was. A long whip flung over and crackled at the young man, knocking him all over the ground. Protecting his head and face desperately begging for mercy:

"Spare your life! Spare your life! ”

Su Miao was stunned by the scene in front of her, and at the same time felt more and more that something was wrong, even if it was a subordinate, it was only a "manager" at most, and the word "adult" was not something that could be called casually. Since it is called "Adult". This shows that the man who is called "adult" is a person from the official yamen.

The screams of the beaters mingled with the screams of the beaters and the mournful pleas for mercy of the beaten, and the others turned a deaf ear and passed by the two as if they hadn't seen them, each carrying a bag of hemp on their shoulders. Su Miao's heart began to mumble, and she looked at the pile of things scattered on the ground again, a piece of white flowers, shining brightly in the sunlight, looking a little familiar. She stared at it for a moment, and it dawned on her. She also said what it was, it turned out to be salt!

Knowing this, her heart was even more confused, when did the aristocratic family even transport a salt as if watching a prisoner do coolies, not to mention so violent and ferocious, even if the population of the Hou Mansion is large, there is no need for so much salt, this trip after trip, each sack is one person high, so many sacks add up to only enough for the entire Hou Mansion to eat for ten years, is it possible that the salt of Yue Liang Country is going to be extinct, and the Marquis of Dongping received internal news and began to be busy hoarding goods?

She was puzzled, and was hesitating to ask for help and ask for directions by the way, when a voice that seemed to be smiling sounded leisurely above her head:

"Peeking is not what a good girl would do!"

Su Miao was startled, when these words sounded, all the people under the rockery stopped moving, and the salt transporters stopped and looked around, the foreman and the young man closest to the rockery raised their heads one after another, and their expressions were a little panicked when they saw Su Miao on the top of the rockery, and the foreman's face was obviously vigilant.

Su Miaomeng always felt as if she had bumped into something that shouldn't have happened, but she just glanced at someone moving goods, what was wrong?

She was inexplicable, and followed the prestige with a face, but saw a familiar and unexpected person on a tall banyan tree next to the rockery. The immortal monkey squatted on the branch of the tree, the movement of the two arms hanging in front of him looked more like a monkey, he was also wearing the clothes of the Dongping Marquis Mansion, but the clothes of the subordinates could not withstand the unruly atmosphere of the wandering rivers and lakes on him, it looked nondescript, very funny, and he was looking at himself with a smile.

"What are you doing here?" Su Miao's heart first tightened and then relaxed, and she shouted suspiciously.

Changsheng took her expression into his eyes, grinned, turned his head and jumped down from the high branch, landed simply in a leopard-like posture, and took a few steps up the rockery, standing high on the top of the rockery, first smiled, and then turned his head to look at the foreman who was looking at the two of them with his eyes down, and the vigilance in his eyes still hadn't dispersed, and said with a smile:

"If you don't work quickly, if you don't finish moving today, you will have to bear it when you turn back."

The vigilance on the foreman's face did not fade, and he didn't seem to be unconditionally and completely obedient to Changsheng's order, but when Changsheng finished speaking, he weighed the pros and cons, and then he hugged his fist at Changsheng, and replied angrily:

"Yes."

The team started to march again, and the boulevard in front of the rockery soon became busy again, and Su Miao looked at it stupidly, as if she had encountered something terrible.

Changsheng looked at the marching team with a smile for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head and asked Su Miao with a smile:

"Why didn't you stay in front of you, why did you get here?"

"I went up to the hut and got lost."

Changsheng pursed his lips: "On this occasion, the little young master will not give you a maid, how relieved he is of you." ”

"What are you doing here? Still dressed like this? Is this your special habit, or is there a shortage of family members in the Hou Mansion today, and you rushed over to do a part-time job? ”

Changsheng thought for a while, smiled and said, "I'm probably rushing over to do a part-time job." ”

Su Miao turned her head to look at the people coming and going down the rockery, and asked suspiciously:

"Who are they? Do you carry so much salt? Suzhou has recently had a tight salt production. Even the Hou Mansion is going to start stockpiling goods? ”

Changsheng was slightly stunned, glanced at her, and suddenly burst out laughing. laughed straight down, patted his thigh and said:

"You look like you're usually smart, why do you look like a little fool now?"

Little fool?

Su Miao's face was blue and red, her eyebrows trembled, and she looked at him dumbly, but she was speechless.

Changsheng laughed enough, and suddenly came over. Leaning up to her face, he smiled shyly and asked:

"Do you really want to know?"

"I ......"

"The little girl's family knows too much, be careful of your life." He said with a smile.

“……”

"If you really want to know, then I'll tell you. They're transporting salt. Changsheng said with a smile.

"Of course I know they're transporting salt." Su Miao gritted her back molars and said, for some reason, every time she saw Changsheng's smiling expression, she had an urge to go up and scratch him.

"Silly girl, salt transportation has been a matter of the imperial court since ancient times. Salt production, transportation, and salt sellers have always been under the jurisdiction of the salt industry yamen. This Dongping Marquis Mansion is not a salt industry yamen. Changsheng said with a smile on his face.

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, suddenly reacted, and said in surprise:

"You mean those are private, private ......"

"Scared?" Changsheng looked at her with a teachable expression and smiled heartily.

Su Miao stared at his smiling face, the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely, and she muttered in a low voice:

"The Marquis of Dongping is so bold, it is a capital crime to sell illicit salt, and one person commits a crime and destroys the whole family."

"Huh? That's all you want to say? ”

Su Miao was slightly stunned: "What else do you want to hear from me?" ”

Changsheng looked at her boredly, "I thought you would be surprised." ”

"I'm not surprised that people in officialdom do anything. It's just that Dongpinghou's face is an upright general, could it be that he sells smuggled salt to raise military funds? ”

"You're so naïve. Even the most upright person has to bow his head in the face of the situation, for the sake of those masters in Liangdu, no matter how upright the person is, he can only be a dog's leg, the general environment is like this, and the only way to save his life is to stand in line. ”

Su Miao looked at him, although she couldn't fully understand what Changsheng said, she didn't understand it at all, looking at the age of His Royal Highness King Wen today, His Royal Highness King Wen was only the age of the Nine Emperors, and there must be a bunch of His Highnesses from one to eighty-one, that is to say, the royal family of Yueliang Kingdom is at this moment in the stage where the emperor is gradually dying and the prince is already in his prime, and this stage is also the most prone to right and wrong.

"And these salt carriers?"

"All prisoners in prison."

Su Miao nodded, thought for a while, and asked Changsheng:

"Why are you telling me this kind of thing, since you are here, your Tong family probably has a share in this matter, and selling smuggled salt is a big crime for the Nine Clans."

"That's right." Changsheng rubbed his smooth chin, as if he had just figured it out.

The corners of Su Miao's mouth twitched fiercely.

"But if you really count it, you can be considered an accomplice."

"What's my business?" Su Miao said with a smile, paused, and asked him bluntly, "Do you want to meet and pull me into the gang in half?" ”

"The person who will benefit from this matter in the end is your future family, of course, provided that you and that little master have no accidents."

Su Miao was stunned for a moment, and looked at him in surprise: "You mean, my little taste of this is what my father asked me to do?" ”

“… Well, almost. Changsheng replied ambiguously.

"Almost?" What does this answer mean?

"By the way, don't you want to go back, go south from this mountain, cross the covered bridge and turn east, you can meet people, and then ask someone to inquire. In addition, you go back and tell Ah Ran for me, there is still about an hour. ”

"I don't want it, I want to pass the word to you yourself." Su Miao said, the person had already jumped off the rockery and walked away.

"Wrong, that's the south!" Changsheng stood on the rockery, pointed to the road in the opposite direction to her, and said with a smile.

Su Miao glanced at him stunned, turned around, and strode south.

"And said that he was not afraid." Changsheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. (To be continued......)
