The carriage in which the two of them rode seemed to be driving in the endless wilderness, undisturbed.

Tiger Guard, who had been following behind the carriage of the two, followed unhurriedly, and seemed to be able to hear the words of the conversation between the two in the carriage, but it seemed that he could not hear it.

Liu Xiao turned his back and didn't react to what Xi Yuanxiu had just said.

He touched his soaked clothes, rubbed his sweaty nose again, and said slowly: "Forget it, she is doing well in her hometown, Chang'an is too big, I'm afraid she will be a little unaccustomed." ”

After Liu Xiao said these words, he carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his movements were skillful, as if he was rubbing his eyes casually.

Xi Yuanxiu was silent, he was also used to Liu Xiao doing such things.

A man who is greedy for life and afraid of death always has something that he must take charge of.

Xi Yuanxiu learned from Liu Xiao's mouth that Liu Xiao's mother was a person who never wanted to embarrass her son.

I have never sent a letter to Liu Xiao, for fear that he will be worried.

Only one businessman passing by from Jingzhou every month will send a few words to Liu Xiao.

Liu Xiao sent all the silver taels to his home, and Liu's mother stored them together and handed them over to the village chief, waiting for Liu Xiao to use when he got married.

Liu Xiao has always felt a little guilty, while he was drinking and having fun, his mother was mixing wild vegetables at home to eat.

People may always think of the difficulties of their families after the end of that extravagant life.

So every time Liu Xiao wakes up, he will be in a daze, he will look in the direction of his hometown, although it is not far away, but whenever he has the urge to go home, he silently dispelled it.

Many times it is not because of Xi Yuanxiu, Liu Xiao himself does not dare to go back.

Liu Xiao was afraid that he was not decent enough, and he was afraid that his mother would feel distressed when she saw him like this.

He is also a contradictory person, and the root of contradiction is face.

Xi Yuanxiu knew his many concerns, so this time he decided to change his approach.

"It's different now!" Xi Yuanxiu looked at the tiger guard who was ten zhang away behind him through the gap in the curtain in the carriage, and said in a suppressed voice: "The restaurant in Chichao, you are now the shopkeeper, although you are a little stingy, but you must take your mother to your own restaurant, you are afraid that you will not be too stingy!" ”

Liu Xiao turned around and looked at Xi Yuanxiu's sincere eyes, and he didn't know how to speak.

He agreed with Xi Yuanxiu that after the matter was over, he would give him the restaurant, but what he didn't expect was that Xi Yuanxiu would give it to him so lightly at this time.

Liu Xiao touched himself, and then touched Xi Yuanxiu, feeling that he had indeed woken up.

But at this time he actually began to cry.

Xi Yuanxiu was also caught off guard by him, so he had to wipe his sleeve for him.

"Actually, I know that I am useless, I have never been able to do well what I have been told, I actually just want my mother to stop being so tired, I Liu Xiao really thank you, to be honest, I just hope this matter ends soon."

Liu Xiao couldn't cry, and it took a long time to finish these few short sentences.

Xi Yuanxiu smiled, he felt that Liu Xiao in front of him looked much better at this time.

And he himself now feels that he can get what he wants without caring about people's hearts.

Using words to induce others is one of Xi Yuanxiu's best things.

But if you can make the other party move to tears, isn't it a more joyful thing?

......

......

This mighty team has finally arrived in Scoop City.

Today's Scoop City is slightly different.

There is no such relaxed and pleasant feeling as before, and some are just depressed.

The salt case was solved, and presumably no one else thought it was a good thing except for the imperial court.

Most of the people in the city are unemployed, and without a livelihood to make ends meet, no one will be happy.

Because the case was started by the clues of Scoop City, the salt field outside Scoop City was sealed, and it should be done.

There is no word on when the salt works will admit more people.

Therefore, these people in Huangcheng, who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, suddenly feel that the sky has fallen.

This situation is not only happening in Huangcheng, but also in the entire Yangzhou, which is a bit chaotic at this time.

And at the moment, there is no private salt, and many people who are used to taking advantage of the cheap have vented all their anger on the officials who investigate from house to house.

If it weren't for the fact that there were troops parading the streets everywhere at this moment, I am afraid that they would dare to rush into Yangzhou Mansion with those Diao people.

Xi Yuanxiu, who entered the city at this moment, found that the neighbors in the city who were extremely close to him were avoiding him as if they were hiding from the plague god.

"Hey, have you heard, we don't have a job, it's all made by Lord Xiaoxi!"

"No, what's in it for him?"

"Benefits, hmph, he doesn't have benefits yet, he has made such a big case, he will definitely be able to go to the capital to receive the reward, how can the officials care about us people!"

"Let's go, I heard that there are still some livelihoods in Qingzhou, if you don't go, I'm afraid that others will do it!"

In the face of these gossips, Xi Yuanxiu did not feel disappointed, because he knew that this was an inevitable result.

From the cracking of the salt case to its complete conclusion, it was not possible to solve it in three days or two days.

A lot of times people don't see things as clearly as they think they are.

They only care about what is good for them.

They never thought about what the consequences would be after the collapse of Jingguo's salt market.

However, to Xi Yuanxiu's surprise, in just one day, the situation had developed to such a point.

I'm afraid that someone is making a stalk from it!

"The saltworks are stopped." Xi Yuanxiu said to Liu Xiao: "Presumably many people hate us!" ”

Liu Xiao replied with some red and swollen eyes: "Why don't you go and explain it to them!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Then why don't you get some money out..."

Before Liu Xiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xi Yuanxiu.

"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish, you don't know that today they are victims of this unjustified disaster, but when you give them money, they will soon become a people."

Discontentment is the root of man's inferiority that cannot be uprooted.

Liu Xiao said a little bitterly: "Then what should I do, just endure it like this, they point their noses and scold us, you won't feel uncomfortable?" ”

"Bear with me, I'm going to be home soon anyway!"

Liu Xiao originally thought that if he solved this salt case, he could walk on his stomach in Huangcheng.

Now it seemed that it was not quite possible, and he pulled down the curtain of the car in a daze, plugged his ears, and did not listen to it.

During this period, a tiger guard also asked Xi Yuanxiu, do you need to arrest those gossip people?

Xi Yuanxiu was still unmoved, until he arrived at the gate of the county office...
