While eating, he asked coldly, "How is it?" When did our business start? ”

Su Ren smiled: "When did it become our business, I am the only one on the salt test, it should be said that it is my business." ”

Leng Jun glared at his eyes: "Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" I was at the front of the fight and was the most seriously injured! ”

"I didn't let you rush up, you did it voluntarily." Su Ren raised his little face: "From now on, either you follow me, or I will pay you to live in the hotel, even if we are clear, if you want to meddle in my business, there is no door." ”

Leng Jun was anxious, and threw down his job: "Su Ren!" You kid owe a beating, don't you? Since you have said so, come, pay me back a hundred gold! ”

"What a hundred gold? How I don't remember there was. ”

"The night before yesterday, in front of the salt boss and the county order, you said that in order to repay me for saving my life, you are willing to pay 100 gold to settle the account, how can you repay the debt?"

"Is there such a thing?" Su Ren said with a smile: "I also remember that the night before yesterday, someone said in front of the county order that I would replace my salt making method with this hundred gold for the people of warm water, and since then, we seem to have cleared up." ”

The cold-eyed boss was panting. Su Ren smiled and kept putting the dishes into the bowls of Huo Laosi's two children.

Leng Yue really couldn't stand it, and looked up at Leng Jun timidly: "Senior brother, Brother Su is joking with you." ”

Su Ren said: "I'm not joking, these words are heartfelt words, my brother will settle the account, if someone relies on me in the future, I can't afford the account of the donkey rolling." ”

Leng Jun was also angry with Su Ren. Leng Yue's reminder immediately understood, and she sat down again: "Hmph! If you don't have an account, you don't have an account, anyway, no matter what happens, I'll eat you in the future, even if you run to the ends of the earth, don't want to leave our brothers and sisters, you can't beat me anyway, as long as you take a bite, give me half a bite, or I'll rob it. ”

"You! Yes! People's hearts are not ancient! Su Ren said very sadly, with great grievances on his face.

Huo Laosi's son Huo Jin had meat in his mouth, glared at him coldly and said: "If you dare to rob my son-in-law, I will kill you!" ”

One sentence instantly destroyed Su Ren's grief just now. Huo Laosi raised his hand and gave his son a mouthful, and the snot and tears flowed from his son's nose. The jokes at the dinner table, how can they express their opinions.

Su Ren smiled and said: "Hahaha, okay, little gold, from now on you will be my personal bodyguard, who wants to bully me to clean him up!" He picked up another piece of meat and put it in Hawking's bowl, and Hawking, who was crying, immediately stopped crying and held his bowl and ate it. It made everyone laugh.

Early the next morning, Su Ren and Huo Laosi dug out the bag of salt hidden under Taishang Laojun's buttocks. It took a bit long, the air was too humid, and the fine refined salt had already become lumps. Su Ren looked at it, although it was a little yellowish, but it was much better than those coarse salts. The two divided the salt into four parts, first gave one to Liu Ping, Cui Jiu, and Peng You, and Huo Laosi carried the rest to the east of the city.

The good thing is that it is more sought-after, and in one day, Huo Laosi traveled around ten villages and shouted loudly and blatantly. Those customers who usually buy Huo Laosi's private salt find it strange. Huo Laosi's explanation from one household to another, and then looked at Huo Laosi's refined salt, and the price was the same as the official salt in the city. Naturally, it is bought in large quantities. Especially the big families in those places like it even more, and soon sold more than 20 catties of salt.

It was too late to return to Laojun Guantian, but when I walked in the door, I saw Liu Ping, Cui Jiu, and Peng You also there, and all three of them had smiles on their faces.

"Fourth brother! I didn't expect this salt to sell so well, I will go to a few more villages next month, and I can sell it out with dozens of catties! Liu Ping's face was as happy as a flower, and he sold more than 20 catties of salt today, and according to their agreement, each person left forty or fifty eldest sons, how could there be any reason to be unhappy.

Huo Laosi smiled: "It's right to follow my brother!" Have you paid the bills to your son? ”

"It's falling! The little boy is a trustworthy person, and he told us the account on the spot. Cui Jiu patted the dozens of big money in his purse: "It's a pity that this is not in the city, or maybe invite the fourth brother to have a drink." ”

Huo Laosi waved his hand: "Okay, let's go back, walk carefully when it's late, the first time you make salt, Gongzi will do this, do more next month, you earn more." ”

A few people said some kind words, and the three of them left. Huo Laosi carried hundreds of coppers into the courtyard. Su Ren and the others didn't sleep, and they couldn't sleep when they looked at a lot of copper coins one by one. In addition to the more than 100 yuan earned by Huo Laosi, Liu Ping and the others also sent more than 200 yuan, which added up to 400 yuan. It's a good start.

Leng Yue, as the hostess of the internal decision, counted all the money one by one, stuffed it all into a jar, and carried it into the backyard alone and didn't know where it was buried.

Huo Laosi smiled: "Childe, I saw it today, this hundred and ten catties of salt is not enough to sell, we will cook more next month, and strive to transfer every village outside the city, and there will be at least 1,000 yuan by then." ”

Leng Jun also nodded: "And we have to find some people, just four people can't sell it like this, and we have to find some guys to boil salt, it is said that there are three or four hundred guys in the salt field of Liu Wen's family, and this is not as good as the salt of the whole county, and we have to transfer it from Shu County, our salt is so good, the market is definitely not a problem, maybe those people from other counties will also come to buy it, and there will be no inventory at that time." ”

Su Ren frowned: "These things are not difficult, it is easy for our salt to quickly occupy the market, but you remember that Liu Wen used to dominate the matter of official salt, and he will never watch us encroach on his territory, this guy is a local snake, and he will definitely make a stumbling block in secret, so he has to guard against it." ”

"What are you afraid of, we have a county order as the backstage, what can he do with us as a county officer?"

Su Ren shook his head: "That's not what I said, the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake." ”

Su Ren did not continue to expand production, just in case, he left Leng Jun to guard his house, and took Huo Laosi into the mountain to boil salt. After a month of worry, he returned to Laojunguan with 100 catties of salt. Seeing that everyone was safe and sound, my heart was relieved. It's good that nothing happened, it seems that his 100 catties of salt were put into the market, which really didn't make Liu Wen care, and didn't cause Liu Wen's counterattack.

According to the appointed time, when Liu Ping and the others came to get salt, they waited for two days and did not see Liu Ping and the others. The uneasiness in Su Ren's heart came up again.

Looking for a sunny day, Su Ren took Huo Laosi to the north of the city in person. As soon as I saw the big soaphorn tree, I faintly heard the cry. Hurriedly rushed to Baojiao Village, and saw a white sail hanging in front of the door of a family from a distance, Su Ren's heart chuckled, that was Liu Ping's house.

When I came to the door of Liu Ping's house, there were many people in the yard, all of whom were neighbors of the same village. There was a coffin in the courtyard, and a woman kneeling in linen and filial piety was kneeling in the coffin money, and a small child was kneeling beside her.

The head of the public Zhang Hu was also there, Su Ren came to Zhang Hu's side, called Zhang Hu out of the crowd, took out a few coppers and handed them to Zhang Hu: "Brother Zhang, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Hu sighed: "Hey! Iniquity! A few days ago, there were bandits in the village, and no one was killed, so they cut off Liu Tingchang, and the head was hung on the soaphorn tree, and I took it down this morning. ”

"Bandits? My Han is peaceful, and there are still bandits in Wenshui County? ”

"But it's not a bandit, who's it?" Zhang Hu said: "We are a remote county, bandits are rampant, the county lieutenant has not succeeded in strangling several times, usually these bandits and villagers are also safe, I don't know what is wrong this time, I didn't rob anything, I killed Liu Tingchang alone, and the rest of the orphan and widow will have a hard time in the future." ”

"What about the bandits?"

"It's Wu Bald of Shuangzui Mountain, this guy is ruthless, the terrain of Shuangzui Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, no one can do it."

"What do you mean by the county honor?"

"What else can it mean, Wu Bald has been rampant for so many years, no one can do anything, he rarely harasses the villagers, so he turns a blind eye, and now he does this, he can't send a large army to encircle and suppress, even if he sends troops, he has to go to the county government to borrow troops, more is better than less, I hope it doesn't happen in the future."

After thanking Zhang Hu, Su Ren and Huo Laosi turned around and walked back. The business has just started, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing again, since Liu Ping was killed, it seems that there is another person in the north of the city. When he came to the south and west of the city, Su Ren completely understood. Cui Jiu and Peng You were also killed, one drowned in the pit, the other fell off the cliff, and the three people who had something to do with him all died.

Su Ren's heart was called a remorse, he understood that this must have been done by the salt boss. I didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless, and he dared to do anything to kill people.

Sitting on the ground, Su Ren wanted to cry without tears: "Fourth brother, who is your boss, can you tell me now?" ”

Huo Laosi also understood that these three people died suddenly, and it was impossible to say that they had nothing to do with Boss Yan. In the past, those who didn't listen to the salt boss basically ended up like this. Boss Salt is ruthless, and he has seen a lot.

Huo Laosi said: "Actually, I haven't seen it either, every time I meet, it's dark, I only see a figure, and no one knows what it looks like." ”

"Could it be Liu Wen?"

Huo Laosi shook his head: "I really don't know, the boss is sometimes fat, sometimes thin, sometimes old, sometimes young, usually we also tell each other when we are fine, no one sees it differently, and some people see women even more." ”

"So mysterious? So how do you get in touch? ”

"There is a house in the east of the city, it is said that there were dead people in it and it was abandoned, no one knows whose house it is, if we have something to do, we will go there, usually it looks like no one, but when we go in, there must be people, and those people are also covered and only show their eyes, just like the people who tried to kill you that night."

"Humph! Pretending to be a god and playing ghosts, Lao Tzu wants to see what is sacred! A trace of murderous aura flashed across Su Ren's face, and he got up and patted his ass and walked back.
