Chapter 19 The forces of the rivers and lakes do the dirty work

The old knife handle is a famous big salt lord in the Huguang area, but everyone has never seen his real person.

This person is not only a salt lord, but also a pervert, when Wang Kefan first came to Chongyang, he saw the notice of arresting him in the county office, and then there was no result, but today he suddenly appeared again, and became the backstage boss of Hu Daguan, and sent himself a message of worship in a grand manner.

What kind of demon is it, you can only know it by seeing it with your own eyes.

In the evening of the next day, Wang Kefan came to a secluded alley in the southwest corner of the county according to the address on the post, and Wang Sheng and the local lieutenant were waiting at the mouth of the alley, along with more than a dozen soap subordinates from the trial bureau and a team of soldiers from the Gongyi battalion.

"The owner of this house is an idle man, in the early years of doing business in other places, and Hu Daguan of Long Maochang often corresponded, the family has eleven young and strong men, including female servants a total of twenty-seven people, and recently a group of relatives, seven or eight men and women." Wang Sheng was very efficient, and in just one day, he found out the details of the family.

Wang Kefan nodded, that's right, this idle member must be a gang of old knife handlers, and that group of relatives should be the old knife handlers themselves and his entourage.

"The third brother is guarding outside, I'll go in and take a look."

The other party is only twenty or thirty people, and half of them are female dependents, Wang Kefan with his own personal team, and Wang Sheng is outside to answer, it must be foolproof.

In this era, there are no pistols available, and there are many people who practice martial arts hard, and some of them are indeed good, but in front of the armored and well-trained army, the so-called heroic swordsmen are not opponents at all......

Hearing that Wang Kefan had arrived, the old knife opened the middle door and came out to greet Hu Daguan and others. This is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a shrewd and fierce face, dressed like a rich man, smiling and full of spring breeze.

"General Wang is here, please come in quickly!"

After entering the house, the furnishings inside are quite elegant, there is a pond rockery in the yard, there is a Shu fan in the hall and the carpet, a brocade stone screen with gold edging is placed under the glass lamp, and the rosewood table is placed with a delicate Rao kiln tea set, and a stunning beauty is standing beside it.

The old knife knob pointed at Na Mei Ji and said with a smile: "The good tea brewed by Seal Ji, please General Wang taste it...... Hey, why do you have to engage in such a big battle, General Wang is still afraid of me? ”

Wang Kefan's personal army team followed, one stayed in the hall, and the others walked through the hall by themselves, carefully searching back and forth, left and right, the atmosphere was embarrassing and abrupt, just like a group of policemen suddenly rushed into a luxury club, Na Meiji wanted to stop her, but the black fish only squinted and glared, and immediately scared her back.

"Why bother? There are thousands of officers and soldiers in Chongyang City, who would dare to be unfavorable to General Wang? The old knife pouted and said angrily: "I thought that General Wang was a great hero and a friend worth making when he fought against tens of thousands of thieves alone...... I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be so small! ”

With a bang, a gold-painted letter of worship was thrown on the table.

"This general is responsible for guarding Chongyang, and more than 100,000 people are tied to Wang's body, how can they fight bravely with the little ones?" Wang Kefan said coldly: "I am an official, you are a thief, no matter whether the official thief has a relationship, I am here to check on you today, and the original of this post will be returned!" ”

As soon as his voice fell, Jingliang, Heiyu, and Little Brother Hua ...... The soldiers raised their knives and guns one after another, and surrounded the old knife handles and the group.

The old knife handle is hahadaxiao, not afraid.

If Wang Kefan really wants to arrest him, he only needs to send a team of soldiers, why bother so much, since the other party personally came to the door, today's matter will be discussed...... Besides, he has an extremely hard backer behind him, even if he is really caught by Wang Kefan, he has a way to get out.

"Good, good! I have seen a lot of important ministers and bigwigs in the court, but none of them can compare to General Wang's bearing, if the Manchu Dynasty has such a knowledge, the Ming Dynasty will not be like this! He praised Wang Kefan on the surface, but in fact, he was waking up the other party, he has a deep background and is not an ordinary character.

Wang Kefan waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to take a few steps back.

"What's your real name?"

"The contemptible surname is Li, the family of Guangzhou Mansion, the fourth brother in the family, and has been called Li Si since childhood......"

Li Si is obviously not his real name, but he claims to be from Guangzhou, and if it is true, he can always find out his details.

"I don't care if you are 'Li Si' or 'Old Knife Handle', you have to abide by my rules when you get to my land, I don't care about you when An Sheng passes by, if you dare to be a traitor, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu can't save you!"

What are you doing in Chongyang? Do you want to do something? Be honest with me!

"General Wang seems to have misunderstood, although the contemptible people sell a few catties of salt and mixed rice to eat, they never do anything that hurts nature and reason......"

"Isn't it a harm to heaven and reason to pick flowers and rob women?" Wang Kefan's face showed anger.

"There are other reasons for this, and I will have the opportunity to explain it in the future." Li Si was very calm, glanced at Zhu Ji, and then said: "I came to Chongyang this time to make amends with General Wang and make a break with the previous things...... Shopkeeper Hu, don't kowtow to General Wang and ask for guilt! ”

Hu Daguan hurriedly knelt down in response, pestle the ground with his head, banging, and kept saying that the villain should be damned, he didn't know Taishan, offended the general Huwei, spared my dog's life, and so on.

"Don't hide it, I, Li Si, am a dirty worker, whether it is selling smuggled salt or Long Maochang, in fact, it is the business of the old men in the DPRK and China, and the shopkeeper Hu is also my subordinate, since I have offended General Wang, I am willing to kill and let it be disposed of!"

Li Si paused, and said in an accentuated tone: "Please also ask General Wang to return the two boats of salt as soon as possible, so that I can have an explanation in front of the old man......"

"Two boatloads of salt? What do you mean? Wang Kefan was inexplicable.

"Huh? Why don't you know yet? Li Si was also very surprised: "Three days ago, Tongcheng Banknote Customs detained me a thousand loads of salt, didn't such a big case report to you?" ”

So that's what happened! Wang Kefan's heart was like lightning, and he immediately guessed the general truth of the matter.

After Bu Zuowen returned to Tongcheng, he and Wang Sheng set up a banknote customs on the Junshui River, inspected the goods of passing ships, and collected toll taxes.

Two ships have a thousand quintals, which is a full 100,000 catties of salt, enough for tens of thousands of people to eat for half a year, according to the market value of tens of thousands of taels of silver, of course, the market price is the price of selling to the common people, and the price of smuggling salt dealers in and out is much lower, but it is worth at least six or seven thousand taels of silver.

As for Weishenme's delay in reporting, it must be Bu Zuo who is making trouble.

There is no problem for the police to catch thieves, but it is not good to put stolen money and goods into their own pockets. According to the normal procedure, the seized illicit salt should be handed over, even if Bu Zuowen deceived his superiors and subordinates, it was impossible to privately swallow the whole thousand loads of illicit salt, but he could take the opportunity to extort, and then turn a blind eye and let the smuggler pass, and make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Talent! Speaking of the method of corruption and bribery, Bu Zuowen is indeed a strong method, and Wang Kefan decided to learn from him.

1,000 quintals of private salt is not a small number, if it is hard to buckle down, the people behind Li Si will never give up, and the trouble is nothing more than a fish dying and the net is broken, and everyone is not good.

"These two boatloads of salt can be returned to you, but I have two conditions......"

The development of the situation turned around, everyone sat down and discussed slowly, Heiyu and other personal soldiers put away their knives and guns, and the seal Ji also came up to boil water to make tea and entertain distinguished guests.

Wang Kefan glanced at her, and muttered to himself in his heart, this Li Si is really a pervert, and the maids around him are so beautiful!

At the age of twenty-seven or eighteen, it is the time when the femininity is the strongest, like a flower in full bloom, exuding its charm without scruples.

Compared with Fu Shihua and Hua Xiaoyue, this seal Ji has three more points of wind and dust, but also three points of intellectuality, three points of charm, three points of temptation, and a sense of vicissitudes of life, so that men can't help but want to hold her in their arms and take care of her with their hearts.

However, for Wang Kefan, there are too many such beauties in the old time and space media, but she is naturally immune, so she took the tea cup in her hand and turned her face to talk to Li Si about business.

"Two boats and a thousand quintals of salt, Yuezhou Mansion can't eat it, where are you going to sell it?" Walking down the Junshui River, out of Yuezhou Mansion is the territory of the Qing army.

"Don't hide it from General Wang, most of this salt is sold to Hubei, and the Tartars are also people, and they have to eat and pull ......" Li Si almost burst into foul language unintentionally, and immediately glanced at Zhu Ji again, and saw that she was nothing unusual, so he said with a smile: "I have been trading illegal salt for more than ten years, and there are many old customers in Hubei, although they surrendered to the Tartars, they still have to sell salt from me......"
