"Count Lao Tzu's bad luck, if you don't get stabbed by you, you are not my opponent, and there are my brothers who live and die together."

Liu Yichen looked at this person and felt that he must have something to do with the matter of private salt. "Brother, if it weren't for you, we just wanted to live."

Scarface looked at him and smiled. "You are also people who know a little bit about the rules of the rivers and lakes, but we brothers, I can see that something is wrong with you."

Listening to his words, Liu Yichen laughed loudly. "Brother, I really have vision, it's just that we want to do the snow business, but I'm afraid that there is no one to solve it."

At this time, several more people came from behind, with sharp knives in their hands. "Put it all down!" Scarface shouted over there. "You also put it down."

Liu Yichen hesitated for a moment, threw the knife aside, and kicked it into the corner. stretched out his arms to protect Song Zhiyao. "Brother, these two pieces of silver should be used as a thank you gift."

He was bent on getting out of this dangerous situation, and he threw out a handful of silver in his hand. Scarface grabbed the silver, opened his shriveled mouth and munched on it.

"This white snow business is really elegant, but this day the lord is always lightning and thunder, so that everyone can't make a fortune, blame you."

Liu Yichen and Song Zhiyao, with their guidance, went down together. Spot a beach below, lit with white salt.

Scarface continued, bandaging his wounds. "Brother, look at this white snow, isn't it elegantly tight? There is silver, as much as you want. ”

Liu Yichen had a few more words with them on the private salt road, and they were sure that Liu Yichen was indeed here to buy illegal salt.

Several of them laughed together. "It's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, two, drink some wine, eat some meat, entertain comfortably, let's go again."

Song Zhiyao looked at these vulgar people, and her heart was about to jump out of her throat nervously. They drank wine and ate meat, and sang songs together.

Liu Yichen is naturally comfortable dealing with these people. "It's just that my salt has to be transported to the north, and there is a lot of profit there."

Scarface reaches out, and the two men cuff their cuffs, clutching each other's fingers. Liu Yichen stretched out his middle finger and index finger, and stretched out his thumb over there.

The two bumped into each other for a moment, and Scarface laughed loudly. "This old guest is really good at business, just make a friend, just don't lose money."

Song Zhiyao looked at them stunned, and she didn't know what they were doing. Looking at the salt grains of white flowers on the side, a lot of them came out.

Liu Yichen grabbed the salt grains in his hand and pretended to taste them. "It's really delicious, it's much whiter than the snow of the official master, brothers are attentive."

After speaking, the two of them walked into the cave, leaving only Song Zhiyao and those little minions outside. They looked at her beauty and teased her with the look of their eyes.

Song Zhiyao knew that Liu Yichen must be plotting for personal salt, and she only needed to pretend to be playful and dignified.

"You boys, the old lady only follows the eldest brother." She stuck out her tongue again and grimaced. "If you want to touch the old lady, wait until the next life!"

She stabilized the minions, and Liu Yichen quickly walked out of the cave. Holding a white Dalmatian dog in his hand and flicking his tail.

He said to Song Zhiyao. "Let's go, follow the dog, and we'll be in town." Hearing this, she was skeptical, and said goodbye to Scarface and them.

The puppy wagged its tail and barked. They walked for nearly two hours, and their feet were blistering, until they reached the mountain pass.

Hou Qu and Xiong Li led the donkey, lowered their heads, and their faces were full of guilt. "Adults, the little ones are useless, and she has been tricked to divert the tiger from the mountain."

Liu Yichen looked at them and comforted. "It's okay, it's crooked, we found the one who sold smuggled salt, and we'll meet the night after tomorrow."

After walking this way, Song Zhiyao is also tired. She lies on the donkey's back, clutching at the donkey's mane. Tired and slumbering.

By the time I got back to my lodgings, it was already dawn. Song Zhiyao didn't sleep well either, lying heavily on the bed, her head hanging on her back.

Liu Yichen hurriedly called Doctor Lu. "Hurry up and boil some tonic medicine for Yao'er, so that she can take good care of her body." After a while, she boiled out a large bowl of herbs.

Although Song Zhiyao felt very tired on her body, she still drank warm herbs. I felt my body feel more comfortable again, and slowly stretched my waist.

"Xianggong, what should I do?" She rubbed her eyelids and asked, confused. "That place, there is no mark on the map, where can we find it?"

Looking at her puzzled look, Liu Yichen smiled kindly. "Silly girl, we can't find that place, they'll come to me."

Song Zhiyao listened to his explanation, and also felt unreliable. "Xianggong, if they really want to kill the killer, we will be miserable the night after tomorrow."

Liu Yichen smiled slightly. "No, these people will continue this business no matter what, for the sake of money."

Song Zhiyao listened to him, talked for a long time, and fell asleep. Although he has been tossing for so long, Liu Yichen has been thinking about this in his mind.

"I'll go out and have a look, maybe there's another way." He painted his face with yellow clay to make it red, and wiped his beard.

Liu Yichen led Hou Qu and Xiong Li, and the two of them walked to the street again. Then he went to the market on the west side of the city, and wandered around there without stopping.

Hou Qu and Xiong Li wondered in their hearts. "I've found those smugglers, so why don't you do it, it's just that if you say something, you can't go against it."

They walked into one of the largest shops, and the fat shopkeeper greeted them with hospitality. "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you want to order?"

Liu Yichen bought some condiments and carried them in his pocket. "Shopkeeper, is there any cheap salt? Just give it to the people who cultivate the land, and it doesn't need to be good. ”

The shopkeeper looked at him, covered his mouth, and sneered. "Guest officer, when you go out, you can't be so straightforward, I don't know that there are ears next to you."

They were taken to an alley, a dilapidated thatched hut, piled with many grains of salt from white flowers. There are many fine cloth bags.

There were several thugs around, wielding wooden sticks in their hands, their faces full of muscles, and they looked unruly. Liu Yichen spent a few taels of silver to buy some.

The shopkeeper whispered while biting his ear. "How dare you talk nonsense about such things, if something really goes wrong, it is not something that silver can balance."

Liu Yichen saw that there were many people lined up behind him, and they also looked around vigilantly, for fear that the officers and soldiers would come to check it, with solemn expressions.

They bought the illicit salt, looked at the servants, and walked into the door of the shop. The shopkeeper's hand seemed to be handing over something.

In the bustling crowd, Liu Yichen once again saw the man who went to Xiao's shop, wandering around with a blade of grass in his mouth.

"It's a good thing he didn't find me." Liu Yichen understands that this private salt water is not ordinary deep. Be cautious and don't let the word go.

When Liu Yichen and the others returned to their residence, it was already evening. He walked upstairs and saw Song Zhiyao, rubbing the tears on his cheeks, and the corners of his eyes were red.

He saw that the woman he loved had become like this, gently holding her waist and gently touching her lovely cheek.

"Okay Yao'er, what's wrong?" Song Zhiyao was stunned for a long time, and then she said. "Someone has been here on the window outside."

It turned out that while she was sleeping, there was a noise outside, and she was awakened, her eyes widened, and she looked out the window.

It turned out that a person seemed to be lying on the window. She was so frightened that she screamed loudly. The figure of the man, with a hammer in his hand, struck at the window.

Soon, the entourage ran over. The figure fell down in an instant, and there was a thud underneath, but there was no trace to be seen.

Frightened like this, Song Zhiyao couldn't sleep either, and waited until Liu Yichen came back. "What is that figure going to do?"

Liu Yichen held his chin and immersed himself in thought. "If he were an assassin, a vengeance-seeker, he wouldn't be like that, but he wouldn't be like a thief."

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt in his heart, and it was very difficult to think about it. "Anyway, tonight, take my Yao'er and change your residence."

Taking advantage of the hot and dark weather, Song Zhiyao and the others packed up their things and hid in a more private and safe mansion under the arrangement of the county order.

The county magistrate specially arranged a few plainclothes secret guards for them. "Brother Huang, the villain is so respectful, I only hope that the lord will say a few kind words in front of the saint."

Liu Yichen nodded calmly and replied. "I will naturally be like this, but the Xiao family, I must take good care of her, and there must be no accidents."

The prefectural commander replied respectfully. "The adult's order, the villain doesn't dare to slack off, she is in that cell, her body is very good, and she is very healthy."

So Liu Yichen followed the county order and went to the cell. Xiao's complexion seemed to be much better than before, and he closed his eyes and recited Buddhist scriptures.

Liu Yichen thought about those things, and hesitated for a long time. "Should I ask this woman? I just asked, maybe it didn't work. ”

Eventually, he decided to give it a try. "Girl, do you know how many people sell illicit salt in this city? Where are they hiding? ”

Xiao just turned his head away, his eyes slightly open. "Amitabha, donor, the slave family has forgotten everything, and he doesn't know it at all, how good."

The county magistrate looked at her like that, stepped forward and waved his hand. "You little girl, do you still want to keep someone under the knife? It's really rampant, looking for death. ”

Despite this, Xiao did not make the slightest move. Liu Yichen looked at her thoughtfully. He stretched out his arm and stopped the county order.

"A girl, trapped by love, must not embarrass her." I went to the street market at night and bought a lot of supplements for Xiao's and came back.

He looked at Xiao's face, which was already haggard and full of wrinkles. The original black and slender hair has also become pale and shriveled, and it has fallen out a lot.

Liu Yichen secretly pitied her in his heart. "Take care of yourself." Then they closed the door, and there was a faint sound of sobbing inside.

The county magistrate looked at Liu Yichen and didn't seem to understand him. "Brother Huang, such a little woman will come to some hard, no matter what, she will recruit it."

Liu Yichen smiled kindly. "The emperor told me that I should treat the affairs of the world with a heart of benevolence, and everything has its own reason."

Hearing this, the county magistrate was thoughtful and stunned for a long time before he said with a smile. "Brother Huang, the house is kind-hearted, and the villain will never be able to reach it."

Liu Yichen then asked. "So, my lord, how many people in these upper and lower counties are counting on making money on private salt?"

This time he asked the county order, and he was suddenly speechless, and replied with a red face. "Brother Huang, the small county still has to be carefully verified, those thieves are treacherous."

The prefectural magistrate also knew that although he did not do this directly, the people who only profited from it were like carp crossing the river, and he could not count them.

Liu Yichen looked at him and smiled kindly. "Lord County Commander, I'll go back first, and I don't need to specifically check the whereabouts of those people."

By the time I got back to my residence, it was already time for the child. Liu Yichen looked at the ethereal night sky alone, dotted with stars, like eyes.

He let out a long sigh. "It's just that this relationship is misunderstood, and I don't know if I can get a poisonous snake, but I have to do it."

He thought about it until it was almost dawn, and then he went back to bed to rest. At noon, Liu Yichen was woken up by Song Zhiyao.

She was gentle and coquettish, sticking to Liu Yichen's face. "Xianggong, but last night, I didn't cover the quilt, and the little woman helped you cover it."

Liu Yichen's cheeks turned red instantly, and he smiled ashamedly. "Just thinking about these things, worrying in my heart, we should go out again tonight."
