Chapter 7: A Sense of Justice

Talking and walking, always feel the time, soon, Li Meng and they arrived at Fengmeng Town, said that it is a town, that is, hundreds of families get together, speaking of this person is not as many as the Xue family's thousands of households, but the location of this Fengmeng Town is very good, it is the intersection of Fushan, Jimo County, Jiaozhou, Lingshanwei and several places by land. Moreover, Fengmeng Town is also close to a river, and the transportation is also a lot more convenient.

People from all walks of life who do business gather here, or communicate with each other, or stop halfway, in general, it can be regarded as a small prosperous scene.

When there were still two miles of road from this town, Li Meng and his party walked out of the small road and went up the avenue, and at this time there were a lot more people to see.

When he was panicking, a young man standing on the side of the road greeted him with a smile and said:

"Whether the guest officials want to sell salt, whether they sell it to the Wang family or to the Lin family, depending on the appearance of everyone, it must be the first time to come here, how about the younger brother lead the way."

Li Meng didn't know what was going on, but Zhao Neng breathed a sigh of relief on the side and said:

"It turned out to be a Chinese person who collected salt, and no one should have checked it in this Fengmeng Town."

Zhao Neng had been requisitioned to repair the city a few years ago, and he had seen some markets, and he explained to everyone that when the salt merchants who sold illegal salt collected salt everywhere, many people who produced illegal salt wanted to sell salt to them, but after all, this was a risky business, and no one dared to shout for it.

If someone wants to sell salt, he will come forward to lead the way and make a little money, hearing this, Li Meng understands it, isn't this an intermediary, what is earned is the intermediary fee, it is convenient to have this, and he said at the moment:

"Brother, how much hard-earned money do you want."

The young man was stunned for a moment, thinking that this is too direct, these people who do private salt generally collect money after the transaction is completed, and they can't ask for it clearly, if they want to say, "Please reward a few pennies for living money", if the guest is arrogant and does not give it, he can only admit it. Who wants this to ask directly, but seeing that although Li Meng is thin, he is tall and has a frightening temperament, so he didn't dare to say more, but replied honestly:

"Don't dare to hide the guest officer, ten cents ......"

Seeing that Li Meng hesitated and didn't speak, the young man gritted his teeth and said again:

"If the guest officer thinks it's too much, seven cents is fine."

Who would have thought that Li Meng touched it in his arms, and suddenly took out a string of money, nearly fifty wen, and threw it directly into the young man's hand, and said with a smile:

"It's the first time we've come here, and we want to sell it at a higher price, and if the price is satisfied, I'll give you more money."

This young man has never seen such a generous guest in his hand, and he has nearly fifty yuan in his hand, and he said that he will add money later, this young man's enthusiasm suddenly rose, and his smile became a lot more sincere, patting his chest and saying:

"A few guest officers, rest assured, my Hou Shan is also famous in Fengmeng Town, and I will definitely let this salt buy a good price!"

As he spoke, he leaned over to Li Meng's car and said with a smile:

"Open the salt packet and look at the goods, so I can go and talk about the price."

I was about to open the salt bag with a smile, but when I got closer, I saw the waist knife pressed under the salt bag, the smuggler and the salt lord are both outlaws, and it is not uncommon to have a blade, but these twelve small smuggling salt dealers also have such a good weapon, which is very unusual, but thinking about the conditions that Li Meng agreed, his heart is still hot.

As soon as he opened the salt bag, Hou Shan stretched out his hand to check it a few times, looking very puzzled, opened the mouth of the straw bag larger, took it inside, and put it in his hand to take a closer look.

"Master Guest, is your salt all of this color?"

Li Meng was a little confused, stretched out his head to see, the salt grains did not have any abnormal appearance, and nodded, but the next sentence of the Chinese man Hou Shan made him almost stumble:

"Master Guest, you didn't mix any sand at all!?

Not to mention that the title of Hou Shan is becoming more and more polite, but the content of this sentence is too much to laugh and cry, and daring to mix sand is considered a normal road.

Next, this Hou Shan led Li Meng and his people towards the center of the town with great confidence, most of the intermediaries are people with quick tongues, whether it is ancient or modern, even in the Ming Dynasty more than 400 years ago, the Chinese people in a small town are not ambiguous.

It turns out that this Fengmeng town has been here for a long time by private salt merchants to collect salt, but it is a year in the spring and autumn for a month or two, about six years ago, Fengmeng Town began to have salt merchants, long-term living here to buy private salt, it sounds should be Luxi and Lunan accents.

Speaking of Shandong's salt administration has always been a big problem, no one wants to buy salt from the salt field, because the north is the Changlu salt field of North Zhili, and the south is known as the world's first two Huai salt fields.

Usually there is no salt merchant willing to produce salt in these salt farms in Shandong, there has always been no market, these private salt businessmen come to Fengmeng Town to collect salt, finally someone buys salt, the salt field in the south of Laizhou and those small households on the seaside who cook sea salt are selling salt here, although there are people who understand that the purchase price is much lower than that from other places, but for Laizhou it is inevitable that these people have to sell it again.

And Li Meng also knew one thing, it turned out that the so-called official salt of the Lingshan Salt Farm was also sold to Fengmeng Town, and the person who handled it was Mu Inspection. Of course, Mu Patrol Inspection itself is the biggest salt lord in Laizhou Prefecture.

Having said so much, Li Meng fully understood that the Lingshan Salt Farm was a government-run industry, with chaotic management, and no output at all, so it all relied on collecting salt from military households like Li Meng and others who boiled salt in the sea, and then mixed it with sand. Sold to Fengmeng Town.

It is equivalent to sitting on the ground and changing hands, several times the profit, or even ten times the profit, no wonder, that Mu Inspector and his salt Ding are so energetic in investigating these households who sell salt privately, no wonder the illegal salt sold to the salt field is not so strict, there is such a reason in it.

Think about what this Mu Inspector and his salt Ding have seen and heard to Li Meng, bullying the weak, * women, strictly speaking, are almost a bunch of bandits, beasts who burn and loot in the skin of the inspection salt!!

Most of the military households of the Xue family's thousand households fill in their stomachs on weekdays, even if they are extravagant, but they still have to be overridden by Mu Inspector, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, sucking blood and eating meat!

Thinking of this, the guilt of killing someone for the first time suddenly disappeared a lot, and I almost couldn't feel it.
