Yang Lin didn't notice Pan Nian's complicated expression at all, and after greeting Pan Nian for a while, he asked carefully: "Master Pan, when can the junior brother come to pull salt?" ”

This winter is coming, and the New Year is approaching, so he really wants to hurry up and bring the salt to Huguang, and hand it over to the shopkeeper there to sell, and then he can go home for the New Year.

He hasn't been home for the New Year for a long time, his sons have grown up, won the champion, and even got married, but he, as a father, has not fulfilled his responsibilities, he feels quite guilty, so he thinks about it, why should he go back to his home in the capital this year and have a lively reunion with his son and daughter-in-law.

Pan Nian didn't answer his question, but asked, "Did you bring all the four thousand salts?" ”

Yang Lin hurriedly nodded and said, "It's all brought, it's all brought." ”

These 4,000 pieces of salt are not a little bit, such a big box, he naturally can't take it with him, and he will only take it when he starts to exchange it.

Pan Nian seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's okay, I'll send someone to report to Lord Tiju, you wait for two days first, take a rest, and when Lord Tiju is approved, I will send someone to inform you." ”

Yang Lin didn't notice anything wrong, because it was like this in previous years, and Pan Nian had to hand over the silver before he could put the salt, which was also the rule.

He greeted Pan Nian for a while, and then took Li Jianjiang, Li Jianlin and the others back to the camp.

Unexpectedly, after three or four days, Pan Nian hadn't sent anyone to inform him to pull salt.

This is a bit abnormal, it usually takes about three days to pull salt, why is it delayed for so long this time?

He couldn't help but go to visit Pan Nian again, but Pan Nian didn't say anything, just told him that Lord Tiju hadn't spoken yet, and asked him to wait patiently.

Three or four days have passed, and Pan Nian still hasn't come to inform him to pull salt, now Yang Lin really can't sit still, if it drags on like this, he is afraid that he will not be able to go back to the capital to accompany his son for the New Year.

He couldn't help but take Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin's brothers to the compound where Pan Nian lived.

Pan Nian was still as enthusiastic as ever, not only ran to the gate to greet him, but also pulled him to greet him, very enthusiastic.

However, as soon as Yang Lin asked about the exchange of salt, he was hesitant and talked about him left and right.

This guy is too greedy.

Yang Lin also expected it, and even brought the silver, he directly asked Li Jianjiang to send a bag of silver into the study and put it in front of Pan Nian, and then asked carefully: "Master Pan, when will this salt come out, do you know?" ”

Pan Nian knew as soon as he saw the bag of silver, at least one hundred taels, he shamelessly accepted the package, then shook his head and sighed: "Brother Yang Lin, it's not that I want to embarrass you, it's really that the adults don't let go." ”

fainted to death, and the hundred taels of silver seemed to be given away for nothing.

Yang Lin cautiously asked: "I've done everything according to the rules, is there any problem with the lifting of the adult?" ”

Pan Nian continued to shake his head and sighed: "It doesn't seem to be a problem with the adult, I heard that there is a problem in Shanxi, and the salt envoy has sent someone to Shanxi to confirm, I'm afraid it will take a month to come and go, and I can't help it." ”

When Yang Lin heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

If there's a problem in Shanxi, it's your business, you just have to exchange the salt lead, as long as the salt lead is not fake, what does it have to do with you?

He had already heard some clues, as if the salt luck had made the Lord deliberately rectify himself.

This delay is a month, and when he transports the salt to Huguang, it will be almost the New Year, and he is even busier after the New Year, more than 60,000 salt introductions have to be exchanged, how can he still have time to go to the capital.

What the hell are these people?

Don't they know that their son is the champion?

Don't they know that their son married the daughters of the Lu family and the Zhang family?

Don't they know that their son has the support of Yang Ming behind him?

These elves, since they know that their son is the champion, they must know all these things!

Since they all know about it, and they are still doing this, this matter must not be simple.

Yang Lin didn't bother to ask Pan Nian, this kind of small character definitely didn't know the specific situation, he said a few words to Pan Nian and then left and returned to the camp.

At this time, he had to send someone to inform his son, because he couldn't afford to wait, and it was not the key that he couldn't go back to the capital to accompany his son for the New Year, the key was next year's more than 60,000 salt leads, what a loss it would be to delay for a month, and what a loss it would be to drag it on.

If these people continue to play like this, he must be played to death, more than 60,000 salt, just the initial investment of nearly one million taels, if you can't get the salt at that time, the consequences are unimaginable.

After he returned to the camp, he wrote a handwritten letter, detailing the situation here and his conjectures, and then asked Li Jianjiang to personally take people to the capital day and night.

So, what exactly do these people mean?

At this time, in a private room in the Zuixian Building in Yangzhou City, two middle-aged men with both figures were raising their glasses and chatting cordially.

Among them, the middle-aged man who was slightly fat didn't seem to be in a very good mood, and in the face of the table full of wine and food, he didn't seem to have much appetite, but when another fat middle-aged man toasted, he would raise his glass and take a sip, but he didn't move the chopsticks a few times.

Seeing this, the fat middle-aged man hurriedly picked a piece of chicken with crispy bones and respectfully sandwiched it in his bowl, and then smiled and said, "What's the matter, Lord Wang, are you still worried?" ”

This fat middle-aged man is the lifting master in Pan Nian's mouth, and the Huaibei Salt Class is lifting the Si to lift Yuzhong, and this slightly blessed middle-aged man is the two Huai Du Salt Envoy Salt Transport Envoy Wang Hua.

These two Huai Du salt envoys are high-ranking officials from Sanpin, and they hold the power of the two Huai salt administrations, which can be said to be a fat and oily position, and they can collect hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year when they lie there.

And this Huaibei Salt Class Lifting Division Lifting Si Ti Yu Zhong must have come to give him silver, why is he full of sadness and not happy at all?

It's very simple, because he is worried about his official position, his future.

He is Zhengde 16 years Xin Si Ke Jinshi, Zhang Xuan's cronies, the position of the salt envoy was also Zhang Xuan to him, Zhang Xuan is dead at this time, he is equivalent to losing the backer, this fat oil position is naturally eyed by someone, and this year is the year of the Jingcha plan, his position can be described as precarious.

At this time, he can only save himself and switch to other camps, and maybe he can keep his position.

After thinking about it, he decided to take refuge in the prestigious Xia Yan party, because Yan Song, the veteran figure of Xia Yan's party, has a lot of influence in the north and south of Kyoto, and this is Yan Song's henchmen.

It's a pity that it's not so easy to switch to the camp, like him, it was not easy to work against Xia Yan's party, so Yan Song put forward a request to him, asking him to drag the new champion Yang Cong and his father Yang Lin as a vote!
