Chapter 65: Li Jing's Surprise
"Smack!"
"Alas~"
The light flickered violently, and a sparkle burst out, making a loud sound in the quiet room.
Li Yan, who had his hands on his cheeks, woke up from his contemplation and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
At this time, where does she still look heroic in the past? Some are just deep melancholy.
It's just that unlike ordinary girls who are preoccupied with their life's events, she worries about her father and the difficulties encountered by Mayi County.
Today, she thought she had found a solution, but before she could implement it, it had already been proven that it would not work at all.
After a sigh, the scene of people rushing to buy salted fish in the market today came to Li Yan's mind once.
It would be great if the government could make so many salted fish to sell!
With a lot of salted fish to sell, the salt shortage in Mayi County can be greatly alleviated, and the people no longer have to buy the frightening amount of salt.
It's a pity that the government doesn't have so much salt to make salted fish.
Moreover, if there is really so much salt, there is no need to make salted fish, and it is better to sell salt directly.
Li Yanzheng, who was full of melancholy, was thinking like this, and her spirit suddenly shook, and some things appeared in her mind, some of which were vague, but they made her happy and trembling.
The salt shortage, the salted fish on the ox cart, the boy selling salted fish......
These things flashed back and forth in her mind, and those vague things gradually became clear.
At this time, there was a salt shortage, and even the government couldn't come up with any salt, under such circumstances, how did the young man and those people make so many salted fish?
And it's still green salt!
This is located in the north of the country, not in the land of Qilu on the coast of the sea, and there are not many large-scale salted fish.
Even if these people were pickled before the salt shortage occurred, or were trafficked from other places, there is absolutely no reason to use green salt to pickle salted fish!
This kind of unusualness is put together, and everything points to one place, and that boy has a channel to get salt!
As soon as he thought of this, Li Yan, who was excited, suddenly stood up from the ground, opened the door, and the whole person jumped out.
Because of the excessive force, the door slammed against the wall, making a clanging sound, and the wind brought up by the clothes when it ran out made the lights sway violently, almost extinguished......
"Really?!"
Li Jing, who has always been relatively stable, after hearing what his daughter Li Yan said, the whole person was not calm in an instant, and the tone suddenly rose several points.
It's really not that his concentration is not good, but that this news is too important for him!
Before, although he made the determination to completely tear his face with the Wang family and not hesitate to break the net, this does not mean that he is really not worried at all.
It was just a means to go out and be cornered, at this time, the peak turned around, and with the rest of the solutions, how could he not be happy?
"Grandpa takes a closer look at the salted fish, and he will definitely be able to see the clue from it!"
Li Yan, who was on the side, was also full of excitement when he saw his father excited like this.
"That's right! Right! ”
Li Jing said one after another, and the people had already walked to the outhouse, and after a while, they hurriedly came in with three salted fish and put them under the lamp.
These are the three salted fish that Li Yan brought back.
During the day, after taking it from Li Yan's hand, Li Jing, who was worried, casually put it in the outhouse and didn't care.
At this time, I got a reminder from Li Yan, put it under the lamp and watched it carefully, and immediately saw the clue.
The inside and outside of this salted fish body are wrapped in a thin layer of salt, and under the illumination of the lamp, it actually gives people a slightly reflective feeling, which is far from being comparable to ordinary salted fish.
"Haha, good! All right! ”
Li Jing, who deducted some salt from the salted fish and put it in his mouth, felt the rich salty taste in his mouth, looked at the salted fish in front of him, and couldn't bear the joy on his face at all, and couldn't stop applauding.
It was at such times that servants came in a hurry......
"What is this?"
Li Jing looked at the cloth with words written in his hand and asked the servant out loud.
"Not long ago, several stones flew in from outside the courtyard wall, and the villain and a few others hurriedly stepped up the ladder to investigate, but found no trace.
After coming to the place where the stone fell, he found the cloth wrapped in a stone, the villain knew a few words, and saw that it was written outside for the county, and the villain did not dare to slack off, for fear of delaying the big event of the county, so he quickly sent it to the ......"
"Good! You've done a good job, and you're going to get the reward tomorrow. ”
Li Jing said loudly.
When the servant heard Li Jing say this, he immediately became happy, hurriedly thanked him, and then left happily.
"Grandpa, what's on this?"
After the servant left, Li Yan looked at the cloth in Li Jing's hand and asked aloud.
"It's the same thing you just said, Yan'er, those who sell salted fish may be able to solve this salt shortage......
Li Jing said as he handed the cloth in his hand to Li Yan on the side.
Li Yan unfolded it and watched, the content written on it was the same as what Li Jing said, but the words were extremely ugly, just like a young child who was learning words for the first time, holding a pen and writing on it.
"Grandpa thinks of this messenger?"
Li Yan closed the cloth, thought for a while, and asked.
It is highly likely that the writing was written with a pen in the left hand, just to prevent someone from recognizing the handwriting and thus incurring unnecessary trouble.
But no matter whether this person is friend or foe, and what his purpose is, I will find out those who sell salted fish, and see them! ”
Li Jing clenched his fists and said in a firm voice.
Immediately, he was ready to call people and ask them to notify Wei Cheng and a few people to come over to discuss, and then arrange for someone to find out the whereabouts of those who sold salted fish.
The rest of the things may be able to be slowed down, but this matter, he doesn't want to wait for a moment!
"Grandpa, the eldest cousin may know the whereabouts of the man who sold salted fish."
Li Yan, who was on the side, suddenly remembered the young man who sold salted fish today, pointed to the sun in the sky, and said to the young man surnamed Yuan, "Look at the sun in the sky, it doesn't look like you owe me the five dollars", and immediately said to Li Jing.
As soon as Li Jing heard this, he changed his mind and only asked the young man surnamed Yuan to come in, instead of letting people go to his henchmen overnight.
After all, the stakes are high, and it is night, and there is a curfew.
As the county prince of this Mayi, he can naturally ignore these, but if he is summoned in such a hurry at night, it will inevitably fall into the eyes of those who have a heart.
has served as a county leader here for several years, and Li Jing knows a lot about these families and knows the courage of these guys.
And this matter is related to the salt shortage, maybe it is the only way out except for the fish to die and the net to be broken, but it can't startle the snake.
