Chapter 209: Found
After lunch, Cangshu first let Bai Ying rest in the inn, Banxia stayed with her, and he went out with the guards. Giving the Literature Network
Basil had only seen him tonight, and he had come out this time to find out something.
Basically, the salt merchants are all distributed in one place, but there is a slight difference in the distance.
Cangshu asked the guards to dress up as ordinary people, and then went to more than a dozen salt shops in Yecheng to inquire about the price.
The guards dressed as belonging to poor families, and it was very difficult to eat salt.
They dressed up like that to gain sympathy and to get people to buy small amounts of salt for testing without suspicion.
When they returned, he was satisfied with the data he finally obtained.
Except for two or three families who made concessions when the guards asked if they could do less, the others were all stubbornly clinging to the prices set by the imperial court.
In order not to startle the snake, the guards pretended to be sad, bought a small amount of salt, and then left.
Of course, they didn't go to a single store, and they all made changes in their outfits in order to hide their eyes.
After looking at all the salt that was bought, Atractylodes found that those who made concessions had made a fake in terms of salt.
In other words, to a certain extent, those three stores all bought private salt.
Private salt is coarser than official salt, and it can be distinguished by the naked eye, and private salt is not as clean as official salt, so the imperial court will crack down on private salt, in order to prevent excessive use of private salt, which will cause harm to people's bodies.
"Did you write down the names of those three stores?"
Atractylodes threw aside all the salt mixed with private salt, and asked.
"The subordinates are all written down, what does the master command?"
Cangshu thought for a moment before replying, "Go back to the inn!" β
They couldn't find anything for a while, so they went back to the inn and waited for Basil to come and tell him.
When Cangshu returned to the inn, he found that Bai Ying was still resting, while Banxia was sitting on the table with his chin propped up and asleep.
Cangshu walked to the table, stretched out his index finger and knocked on the table, startling Banxia to wake up suddenly.
After seeing that it was Cangshu, Banxia, who woke up, hurriedly stood up and said solemnly: "Thirteenth Master, you are back, the slave did not fall asleep on purpose." β
As she said this, she secretly glanced at Bai Ying who was sleeping on the **, and was relieved to know that Bai Ying was safe and sound.
Cangshu knew what she was worried about, but in this inn, he had arranged guards to protect Bai Ying, and there would be no danger.
"This king is not here to punish you. If you are tired, go back to your room and rest, and come back to serve you at dinner. β
When Banxia heard it, he only felt that it was great news, so he immediately thanked him and turned around and went out.
Because Atractylodes had been out for a long time, and the movement just now had not deliberately decreased, Bai Ying opened his eyes after hearing the voice.
After confirming that the atractylodes who had gone out had returned, she sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked, "Uncle Thirteen, you are back, have you found anything?" β
"I didn't find anything at the bottom of the level, and I still have to wait until I see Basil to make a decision."
"In that case, why didn't you summon Basil in the first place?"
Bai Ying said her doubts in a daze, and her appearance was full of cuteness.
"If you meet Basil, will you still be able to sleep here in peace? It is estimated that you have long been clamoring to go out with this king to investigate the case. β
Bai Ying, who was exposed, smiled stupidly to hide his embarrassment.
She really wanted to understand the situation as soon as possible and get the people out of the dire situation.
But the ideal is very beautiful, and the reality is very skinny.
was debunked by someone who knew him, and he still couldn't hang his face.
Immediately, she asked again: "Are we going to keep making secret visits to prevent Lord Zhou from knowing that we have come to Yecheng?" β
Cangshu said: "No, the secret visit is only temporary. β
Bai Ying listened and nodded.
Although she didn't know what the arrangements were for Cangshu, she just had to listen to Uncle Thirteen's affairs.
In the end, they planned to put this matter on hold, let Bai Ying change her clothes, and then take her to the street with them.
Banxia, who was allowed to return to the room by Cangshu, continued to rest in the room without knowing it, not noticing that they had left.
It is Bai Ying's meaning that she didn't call Banxia, mainly because she looked at Banxia and worked a lot hard along the way, although it was very unkind not to bring her when she went to play, but the rest at this time was more important for Banxia.
What's more, the matter of this Ye City can't be solved all at once, and there will always be a chance to bring Banxia to play together.
Bai Ying thought that she was asking Cangshu to take her to the beach to have a look, but she didn't expect to be rejected by Cangshu.
"Let's go back in a few days, it looks like we're in trouble now."
Cangshu looked at the official who was trotting this way not far away, and his brows furrowed.
He has not identified himself since the capital, and his whereabouts are extremely secret, and ordinary people do not find him, why can Zhou Xiang find him in such a short time?
The official finally stopped only ten paces away from Cangshu, and then scattered to stand on both sides, and after a while, an official with a mustache appeared on horseback.
After seeing Cangshu, he hurriedly stopped the horses, got off the horse, bowed to Cangshu and knelt down on one knee and said, "Zhou Xiang, the official of Yecheng County, has seen King Mu. β
Cangshu looked at Zhou Xiang, who looked sleek and had no smile in front of him, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.
Bai Ying, who was on the side, looked at Cangshu suspiciously, and asked, "Thirteenth uncle, did you inform him?" β
"Not really!"
Cangshu replied to Bai Ying succinctly, and then put a smile on his face again, and said, "Lord Zhou, please get up!" I didn't expect that this king would be known by Lord Zhou just after he arrived in Yecheng, and he still wanted to go to the beach to see the scenery, and then look for you, Lord Zhou. β
"It is already a great crime that King Mu went to Yecheng and failed to greet the lower officials, and I didn't write that the lower officials also disturbed the prince, you and ......."
Zhou Xiang glanced at Bai Ying as he spoke, and the beauty who almost blurted out just now finally changed it stiffly: "Lord Wang, you and this little brother are going to relax, are you a subordinate official?" β
As he spoke, he bowed frequently and apologized.
The surrounding people didn't know what was going on at first, and they began to know that the other party was from the capital after hearing that their beloved Lord Zhou was calling the other party Lord Mu.
For a while, the pot began to explode, and Bai Ying heard most clearly the words "We seem to be saved".
Bai Ying, who really couldn't stand the surrounding situation, couldn't help but hide behind Cangshu, nervously grabbing Cangshu's sleeve.
Zhou Xiang looked at the scene in front of him sharply, and then said with interest: "Lord, this is not the place to talk, it is better to move to the mansion of the lower official, the lower official has ordered to sweep the courtyard and wait for the arrival of the prince." β
Cangshu also knew that now was not a good time to speak, so he responded to Zhou Xiang's suggestion, and then turned around and comforted Bai Ying.
Zhou Xiang thought about it thoughtfully, and found a carriage and asked him to take the carriage to the mansion.
Zhou Xiang, who walked to the front, frequently turned his head to look at the carriage behind him, and was so shocked that he didn't wipe the sweat on his forehead.
God knows how frightened he was when he heard his subordinates report that someone from the capital was staying at the inn.
After checking with the shopkeeper that the person staying in was indeed King Mu, he quickly came out to pick up the person.
This King Mu is also really, he is free on weekdays, and it has been more than expected for a long time, and he still thinks he won't come!
