But it's a shame to be a shame, and it's still a matter of chasing, I think that Zhongliebo didn't rely on this to start his business, and at this point, these salt dealers who don't know how to come from Nanzhili want to get a piece of the pie, don't you think it's too late.

Although the leader of the Salt Gang in Ziyang felt very embarrassed, he still told Fan Ruohai truthfully after going back, after hearing the news, Fan Ruohai couldn't believe it at first, and then asked several times before hesitating to confirm the authenticity.

Now when he thinks of this, Fan Ruohai is angry.

"It's not enough to let people resell Ninghai salt on their own territory, and let these people run away, and they have been hacked to death several times!?"

Fan Ruohai didn't say a few words, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, the more angry he became, the more scared he became, and he didn't even have the intention of reprimanding at the moment, so he hurriedly went back to pack his luggage after leaving a cruel word.

What can make Fan Ruohai, the leader of the Salt Gang, scared is Wang Zheng, the governor of Zuodu, if this news is transmitted back to Licheng, he will become a laughing stock for a while, but it is still secondary, and the most important thing is that Wang Zheng can't talk about it.

However, this kind of thing can't be hidden, and sooner or later it will be reported to Wang Zheng's military case, so thinking about it, it is better to go back and bear the guilt first, and it may be less punished.

After all, he has been fighting with Wang Zheng for so long, although Fan Ruohai still can't understand his style of acting, he can be sure of one thing, Wang Zheng has never been the kind of unreasonable person, and there will rarely be unfair treatment.

Without further ado, Fan Ruohai made up his mind that the day he received the news, he rushed back to Licheng overnight to "bear the guilt".

A few days later, in the evening, Wang Zheng, who was reviewing the newspapers of various places, was also taken aback when he heard Fan Ruohai, who was struggling in front of him, finish speaking.

It is not surprising that Wang Zheng can have this reaction, it is impossible to think about it, how many years have he been holding the Shandong salt goods for many years, and all kinds of freight have already been finalized, when have he suffered such a big loss.

Later, after listening to Fan Ruohai, Wang Zheng suddenly realized, it turned out that he had taken advantage of the loophole of Cao Yun, in order not to make King Lu suspicious, the Shandong army in the Rongyang area has always been more relaxed.

However, there is also a local branch office for anti-salt, and the salt gang still has a stronghold, why not cooperate with the discussion before acting, in this case, it is still so disgraceful.

Wang Zheng asked questions one after another, but Fan Ruohai couldn't answer a word, and sure enough, the news came out the next day, and Uncle Zhonglie was furious about what happened in Rongyang and disciplined Fan Ruohai for a night.

Poor Fan Ruohai, the leader of the Shandong Salt Gang, returned to Licheng and didn't even enter the house, so he only took the blame for his subordinates, nodded and didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and stood in the lobby all night.

The military order of Zhongliebo came out closely, and there was no surprise, the leader of the Shandong Salt Gang in the Ziyang area was directly dismissed, the deputy leader was on top, and the rest of the people of the Salt Gang were either guilty of meritorious service or directly dismissed.

However, there is a strange thing, this kind of thing is obviously the responsibility of the Anti-Salt Administration, but for some reason, Wang Zheng didn't even mention it.

Fan Ruohai, the general leader of the Salt Gang, can also be regarded as guilty and meritorious this time, Wang Zheng handed over all the investigation work of this batch of Ninghai salt to him, which can be regarded as an ultimatum, so that he must find this group of illegal salt dealers no matter what, and they will be alive and dead.

The matter has come to this point, shame is shame, but you have to do it seriously, Fan Ruohai was trained by Wang Zheng all night, and he didn't dare to say a word over there, but when he returned to the place, he naturally wanted to spread this breath.

The deputy leader of the Rongyang place who came up at the top naturally suffered from the pond fish, and was scolded by Fan Ruohai with a puzzled face, but Fan Ruohai was angry, and new problems were in front of him.

The area around Rongyang is the sphere of influence of the Lu Wangfu, the royal family, and the royal family has enjoyed privileges for generations in the Ming Dynasty, which is more tricky than the Confucian Mansion, and it is not an ordinary boundary, and it cannot be too blatant when checking.

Last time, the Confucian Mansion in Qufu was settled by Wang Zheng himself, and this time what happened in Rongyang, whether it was reasonable or private or public, Fan Ruohai had to bear the brunt of the situation and be responsible for settling it.

This is already a thorn in Fan Ruohai's heart recently, and it is uncomfortable not to pull it out.

For this reason, he even went to Jining, using the relationship between the salt store and the commercial bank, and because of the reminder from the espionage department, he also skipped the salt bureau in Ziyang and went directly to Ziyang, the descendant of Wengzhou Mansion, to come to Ziyang.

Not only that, but all the salt dealers on the salt road were also mobilized by Fan Ruohai, secretly looking for the whereabouts of the batch of Ninghai salt.

But even so, in the first few days, this group of salt dealers still seemed to have evaporated from the world, and no matter how much the salt gang used, even if they turned Rongyang upside down, they couldn't find it.

As a last resort, in fact, there was really no way, Fan Ruohai went to ask the batch of salt gang subordinates who went with him that day one by one, let them think carefully, and they were not willing to let go of the news at all, and finally learned that the other party actually jumped on the boat and disappeared.

Fan Ruohai suddenly jumped to his feet in a hurry, and said in his heart why he didn't ask earlier, looking for a breath like a headless fly, and finally people got on the boat and ran.

At this point, the matter seems even more confusing and out of control.

Everyone knows that the river of Caoyun is very spacious, and the Shandong army has always been a little relaxed about the investigation of Caoyun, if the other party disguises it a little and floats back to Beizhili directly along the river, and now it is estimated that he will run back to his hometown early, then there is no way at all.

However, just when Fan Ruohai was at a loss and was about to give up the search, the big leader of the salt control bureau in Laizhou Mansion sent someone to find him, saying that someone had seen a group of suspicious-looking Nanzhili people in Jiaozhou Bay.

It is said that these people docked in a small boat not long ago, and the direction it seems is that it is the Wengzhou Mansion, perhaps from the branches of the Caoyun River, and now they are unloading their goods in Jiaozhou City to return to Nanzhili.

Fan Ruohai was overjoyed immediately, but he hesitated not long after, how could these people have the guts to be so fat, and they actually ran directly to Jiaozhou Bay.

But this is already the only clue, all other aspects are confused, there is no news at all, plus what the self-proclaimed spy of the spy department said some time ago, Fan Ruohai decided to go to the local salt control bureau in Rongyang to have a look before leaving.

It stands to reason that the Anti-Salt Bureau of the Security Department and the Salt Gang are both institutions under the jurisdiction of the Shandong Army, and their purpose is to investigate and prosecute illegal salt.

It's just that the Anti-Salt Bureau of the Security Department is clearly checking the salt and maintaining local law and order by the way, and the Salt Gang is a substitute for the Dengzhou Inspection Department, only taking care of the salt goods.

Unlike the Anti-Salt Bureau, which is in a position of justice on the surface, the Salt Gang often does things in secret, such as secretly gathering and bribing salt dealers from all over the country.

Sometimes you are obviously useless to some people, these people themselves are salt dealers, but the official face belongs to the jurisdiction of the local inspection department, and the key to the rapid spread of Ninghai salt is also the bulk of Shandong's military salt goods.
