The frightened others also returned to the Xue family's Qianhu in the evening, and there was nothing to do for two days, and in their eyes, it seemed that there was no trouble.
Everyone made a little fortune when they trafficked illicit salt, bought some delicious food and cloth and other things, the whole family got together and happily enjoyed this rare happy time, Li Meng's dinner that night was eaten at Zhao Neng's house, the old lady has always treated him as most of her son, looking at the snacks that Zhao Neng brought over, she felt that she had not been raised in vain for so many years, and she was also moved. In the evening, let Zhao Neng go over and ask Li Meng to come over for dinner.
I thought that Zhao Neng bought a few catties of meat, and tonight the old lady might make some braised pork and other heavy oil meat to improve it, who would have thought that Zhao Neng's mother would boil the fat meat she bought in lard, fry it with oil residue and green vegetables, and then take out the noodles under the mixed noodles stored at home, the so-called mixed noodles are white noodles mixed with other grains, and the taste is much worse.
Fortunately, there are still some fish and shrimp on the beach, and it is still very delicious to use this as a topping, Li Meng just wants to eat meat now, but this has nothing to do with meat, but looking at the old lady's happy face, Zhao Neng's salivating appearance, he understands what this meal may mean to this family, which may be a little shabby for him.
However, after eating, there was not much oil and water in his stomach, and Li Meng, who had been bitter for more than a month, also felt that the noodles and soup were indeed very sweet and delicious.
After eating, the old lady went to clean up by herself, Li Meng wanted to help, but was reprimanded by Zhao Neng's mother, saying:
"Are these jobs done by men too?"
Li Meng walked out of the house and was about to go home, but Zhao Neng behind him caught up and said hesitantly:
"Li Meng, the risk of selling smuggled salt is too great, I have been scared for the past few days, if something happens, who will feed my mother, I really don't have the courage to ......"
Li Meng was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, Zhao Neng hesitated, scratched his head, and said again:
"Recently, the limelight has been too tight, we are still closed, I really want to make more, my mother has not even eaten lard a few times for so many years, but I am also afraid."
Li Meng saw Zhao Neng's hesitation, and thought to himself that such honest military households and ordinary people had seen seven lives killed for the first time they trafficked illicit salt, and it would be strange if they could handle it calmly. What's more, after the sale was completed, the village of the Xue family's thousand households was inspected and copied by the Mu patrol, which was indeed terrifying.
Selling the salt boiled out of the sea to the salt merchants in Fengmeng Town, it seems that it is indeed the easiest way to make money around, although Li Meng has a sum of money in his own hand, but if he takes it out rashly, it will cause unnecessary trouble for himself, and what Li Meng wants most is to let the people around him live a good life, and the only way to rely on at present is to buy and sell private salt. And this business can only be done by everyone together, it is not enough to rely on one person, Zhao Neng is very prestigious among the young people in the village, he is a little withdrawn, it is really troublesome.
But it doesn't matter, slowly convince that no one will have a good life with money.
Li Meng was just about to walk into the door of his house, but he saw a figure flashing at the intersection not far away, the sky was not too dark, Li Meng could see that the two people were Chen Liu and Wang Hai, the two of them looked a little sneaky, Chen Liuzi smiled at him embarrassedly, Wang Hai, the youngest, kept his head down.
Among these young people in the Xue family's thousands of households, Chen Liuzi is the most gloomy and the most brainy, Zhao Neng's worries he also thought of, he also doubted whether Li Meng left the village to tell the county, so he came to take a look, and only after coming did he know that Li Meng had been back for most of the day, and this was to let go of his mind.
Li Meng found that he had an advantage in this era, this advantage was not his military skills and physical fitness, although those assassination and fighting skills were useful, but in this era, it could not be called an absolute advantage, what he had was the way and method of thinking about things, these thinking methods and entry points, which were his standing in this era, such as this murder in Jiaozhou City.
At noon the next day, the Xue family's thousand households, which had just quieted down, became lively again, and it turned out that the two women who had been abducted a few days ago had returned.
They also brought news from Jiaozhou City to this closed thousand households, the salt administration inspected Mu Laohu, and King Mu Yan was killed in the bedroom, and the murderer has not yet been found, and the Zhizhou Yamen hastily set a reason for "seeking money and killing people", those two women are from Zhuang households, and they have not seen anything on the market. I don't understand it, but Jiaozhou City did not close the city gates, and there were no officials to patrol the streets.
Zhizhou Yamen's arrest came to Mu Inspector's home and checked it hastily, Mu Inspector was born as a salt dealer, there was no family, the wife and the little wife divided the family property and went their own way, the servants were dismissed, and the two women who were captured would not care, so they were directly put back.
As soon as they heard the news, all the military families who had been harmed by the Mu inspection were shouting for retribution, who had not been blackmailed when they went to the salt field to transport salt, and the families who had been taken away were elated, and the rest of the people were also very happy, Chen Liuzi even went to his father's grave to burn paper and cried a lot.
Not all the people in the Thousand Households were happy and excited, and most of the eleven people who went to participate in the salt sales that day also knew that Li Meng had been away from the Thousand Households for a day and a half.
Then there was news from Jiaozhou City that Mu Patrol was killed in the middle of the night, if it was in the past, these people would also shout that God has eyes, I don't know that it was the good man who did this for Tianxingdao, but after seeing Li Meng on the path with a flat pole killed and knocked down four salt dings, it really makes people can't help but think.
On this day, Li Meng tidied up in his broken house, dug a small pit, and buried the gold and silver in it, which was also the only preservation method he could think of.
What made him a little strange was that Zhao Neng didn't come to him for dinner this day, Li Meng went to the beach at noon to prepare to touch some fish, shrimp and shellfish to cook, but he met Chen Liu halfway, met Wang Hai, and a few companions who sold salt together, and when Li Meng was about to say hello with a smile, these people all turned their heads and hurried away, as if they were deliberately avoiding him.
Although Li Meng wondered, he didn't take it too seriously, who didn't have a difficult scripture, the things he brought back from Jiaozhou City, and some things in the future, all of which he had to think about.
In this way, everyone flashed his situation until the morning of the third day, when Li Meng swallowed the porridge for breakfast, and heard someone shouting outside:
"Is Brother Li here?"
