Chapter 100: The Mystery of Official Salt
In his sleep, Su Changfeng only felt comfortable and warm. It's like lying in the middle of a painting boat in Hanoi in the summer, surrounded by a fragrant prostitute.
"In spring, the willows and green peach blossoms fall, and there are no edges in the mountains and mountains. The light smoke blows a drizzle, riding the wind and waves to and fro. Pick the tip of the tea and urge the jade to be warm. Blue porcelain, travelers wish, clear lights are intoxicating and self-sleeping..."
There is a soft and lingering singing voice in my ears, although it is a murmur, but every sentence is full of emotion. Su Changfeng suddenly remembered the Liyuan girl in the Chunjiang Pavilion of Zhaoyuan Kingdom.
Just thinking about it, a gust of cold wind blew, Su Changfeng shivered, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and finally reluctantly opened his eyes.
Nan Ke sat obediently in front of the bed, looking at him with those big eyes.
"Are you awake?"
As he spoke, Nan Ke took off the cloth towel on Su Changfeng's forehead and dipped it in the hot water he had just brought from the stove, and put it on again.
"Why are you here?"
Su Changfeng's ears were red, dodging Nan Ke's eyes, and asked in a low voice.
Nan Ke tugged at his hair and grinned, "You were injured yesterday to save me, and you should take care of you." Today, the doctor came to check the pulse again, and he said that you are blessed with deep fortune and tenacity. It's not that easy to die. ”
Su Changfeng heard this, and raised his eyebrows very proudly: "Of course, who is the master, you don't go out to inquire." In these ten miles and eight towns, a few dare to call me out! ”
“.. ......”
Nan Ke felt that he had nothing to say, and his eyes stared at Su Changfeng directly, as if he was looking at a big fool who entertained himself.
"This is the lotus seed soup made by Sakura Niang, you drink it quickly, it looks too red and too hot, and it is just right to cool and detoxify."
Nanke said, handing over a tray. Seeing this, Su Changfeng was so moved that he almost burst into tears: "I really didn't expect you to be so attentive to me." I blamed you for it. ”
“........”
Nan Ke squinted his eyes and listened to what he said, before he said seriously: "I will do this, but I don't want us to owe each other anything." You follow Han Jiuye, he is an existence like a hellish ghost. I have only one idea with our young lady, that is, we are far away from you, the Tao is not the same, although we are together now, but no one can guess what will happen in the future, I don't need you to sacrifice yourself to save me, and I don't want you to have too much to do with me. Once people have feelings for each other, they will have an extra shackle on their bodies. It's not easy to go on a rope. ”
Su Changfeng listened quietly, was silent for a while, and then sighed: "The ups and downs of the world, who can sort out the fate of this thing." Let's just go with the flow, okay... It's also good to keep it in mind. ”
The steaming lotus seed porridge just now has no heat, the fragrance is not there, and the lotus seeds floating on it don't look very satisfying. The two looked at each other speechlessly, avoiding each other.
In the main hall, Yuan Huaisheng leaned on his seat, holding in his hand all the big people in Cilu City who had intersections with Ling Tian that Su Yihang had collected.
"On this piece of paper, large and small, it is very clear, except for the Xu family, this Ling Tian is really compatible with anyone."
When Su Changqing heard this, he also sighed: "If you are not an eight-sided exquisite person and young age, how can you stand out and live so peacefully." It's just that he is really mixed with these chaebol magnates. Even the Meng family, which is the sole hegemon in business, does not have such a big pomp. ”
"The Meng family?"
As soon as Xiangming was handed to his lips and put it down, the Meng family was the Meng family who bullied Su Changfeng yesterday!
Su Changqing's face was serious, and he explained to everyone: "The Meng family is definitely a hundred years old, standing tall, and there are many eyes and ears in Cilu City. On weekdays, they were used to being arrogant, and even Ling Tian might not dare to say anything to them. Their business is also well-connected, with everything from north to south. And recently, there seems to be some conflict between the business of the Meng family and our family. ”
Su Changqing said, seeing that Yuan Huaisheng's expression was not abnormal, and said: "As for the son who intercepted Changfeng on the road, it is Meng Hui, the second son of Lu Haichao. ”
"Meng Hui... I remembered. ”
Yuan Huaisheng snorted coldly, and everyone didn't dare to reply, especially Su Yihang, who was standing on the side, was even more trembling. He has followed the two sons of the Su family since he was a child, and Yuan Huaisheng is not a few years older than Su Changqing, and they often play together.
From that time, Su Yihang deeply understood that it was extremely unfortunate to be targeted by him. It can be said that life is worse than death. The second son of the Meng family is afraid that he will be unlucky.
After chatting for a while, they finally got back to business.
"If the official salt is to be transported, it needs to be supervised and inspected. No matter where it goes, there will be people watching along the way. And so many things, if they are blatantly transported, will leave traces. With Ling Tianfeng's style of acting, he would definitely not risk transporting the official salt out. Therefore, the official salt must still be hidden in Cilu City. ”
Yuan Huaisheng said and put down the list in his hand.
Mo Yanxi nodded, agreeing with Yuan Huaisheng's analysis just now: "For this, I think there is another person who is also the key. ”
When Yuan Huaisheng heard this, he smiled and said: "The Xu family, in the troubled times, there are very few people who can be alone. Especially in this kind of place, I think I can check it out from the Xu family. ”
Because of the relationship with the Xu family, Su Changqing nodded or shook his head, but their speculation was not without reason.
This monstrous net in Cilu City is unfathomable, most people choose to surrender in the face of the interweaving of chaebol magnates, and they only have this choice, those who are arrogant, unwilling to be swayed by the world, and unwilling to bow their heads easily, in the end, are all eaten by this net, but the Xu family is an accident. They don't belong to the chaebol, and they don't belong to the elite. Being in the middle of a huge net, being able to do this, if you want to say nothing, who will believe it.
"Changqing, you have dealt with Changfeng and the Xu family, and I have also heard two sentences of the head of the Xu family, it is said that he is a chic and heroic, since this is the case, it is better to visit another day."
Su Changqing understood, and the tension on his face finally relaxed.
After a few words, they went about their jobs.
Mo Yanxi and Feng Qi fanned out of the main hall, and met a little girl who looked young and looked around.
The girl saw Mo Yanxi and the others coming from a distance, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted them.
"Miss Mo, Miss Feng, I am from the Liu family, and we met when I was in Hundred Emperor City."
Of course, Mo Yanxi remembered who she was, and said with a smile: "Your young lady is fine, I haven't seen her for some time." ”
"Last month was the master's birthday, and the young lady went back to the Hundred Emperors City at that time, and the old man urged her several times, for fear that she would forget. Finally, some elders in the family were sent to invite them. Before leaving, the young lady said that she would come back, so she let me stay here. ”
Xiao Rou said with a smile, reached out and took out a bamboo tube from her arms, and handed it over with both hands: "This was sent by Miss a few days ago, and I want me to deliver it to Miss Mo in person." ”
Mo Yanxi was very puzzled, but still did not refuse, took the things in Xiaorou's hand, and found a hidden place with the wind fan, and opened the bamboo tube.
Inside the bamboo tube is a clean piece of rice paper, on which only the word "Xu" is written in wolf's hair. Nothing else.
Feng Qifan frowned: "What does she mean by this, and she also suspects the Xu family?" ”
Mo Yanxi nodded: "With Liu Tangyue's scheming, if it weren't for the fact that it was nine out of ten, how could the news come from thousands of miles away." There must be some problems with coming to the Xu family. ”
Hearing this, Feng Qifan's brows furrowed even deeper: "But... I don't think the head of the Xu family, as well as Mrs. Xu, including Gongzi Xu, who knows how to hide official salt. ”
Mo Yanxi smiled: "You got to the point, it seems that this matter has something to do with the Xu family, and it is already an ironclad matter." But as for who the Xu family is, it's another matter. ”
Feng Qifan's eyes lit up, and he asked with some uncertainty: "You mean, there are other people in the Xu family?" It is very likely that he is involved in the private collection of official salt? ”
"The children can be taught."
Mo Yanxi smiled, carefully looked at the rice paper in the bamboo tube for a while, and said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, I still remember that Su Changfeng said that the old man of the Xu family seems to have not spent the New Year in the Xu family for many years. After the new rain in the empty mountain, the Wind and Thunder Temple is really a good place for Qing cultivation. ”
Feng Qifan thought for a while, and seemed to understand.
In the snow courtyard of the Su Mansion, Su Changqing looked at Yuan Huaisheng who was playing with him opposite, hesitated, and asked, "Your Highness, did you deliberately let me go to the Xu family?" ”
Yuan Huaisheng chuckled: "If you want to say that the person who can make them trust the most should be you." Xu Zili is heroic and free, although he is in the market, he has never asked about the market, if this matter is true, I am afraid you have to come forward to talk about it. ”
Su Changqing was silent for a while before he sighed: "If it's true, even if Uncle Li doesn't care about it, he will definitely be sad." He may never have thought that for so many years, he and the Xu family were just a flag at the mercy of others. ”
"I heard that there is another son in the Xu family, who is a rare leader in the world, I occasionally heard a few words from a, it seems that this Xu Ruojin was not like this before. But suddenly one day, his temperament changed drastically. What do you think he would be like this for? Or even run away from yourself. ”
Su Changqing was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and then asked, "He... Did you witness the killing that year? ”
"If you don't have a sword in your heart, even if you are holding the sword that ranks first in the world in the sword spectrum, you won't do anything big. It's just a pity, if it weren't for that incident back then, Yuan Ling's martial arts would be the dominant one now. ”
Yuan Huaisheng sighed, and came again: "By the way, tomorrow you can go to the Wind Thunder Temple on my behalf." In addition to the current resignation of Lu City, he may still be involved. ”
