The old and young who came to Li's Salt Shop are the owners of Zhao's Salt Shop and Guo's Salt Shop respectively.

The old man's name is Guo Xun, once served as a lieutenant of the Western Jin Dynasty, when the Han State established by the Huns attacked Luoyang, he led the army to fight against the Huns and was defeated, he pretended to be killed in battle and escaped, and then returned to his hometown Wujiang County.

When Luoyang was attacked by the Huns, Zhao Mo knew that Luoyang could not hold it, so before the Huns besieged the city, he fled back to his hometown Wujiang County with his family.

The Guo family and the Zhao family were originally big families in Wujiang County, and when Guo Xun and Zhao Mo returned to their hometowns, it was a time of great chaos in the world. At this time, Luoyang had fallen, and Emperor Sima Chi was captured on his way to Chang'an, and then the Huns sent troops to occupy Yanzhou, Qingzhou and other places east of Luoyang.

Guo Xun and Zhao Mo were afraid that the Huns would come, so in order to defend their hometown, they scattered their wealth, gathered the displaced people, recruited soldiers, and trained them into soldiers to guard against the Huns, and gradually became a local powerhouse in Wujiang County. In addition, the Guo and Zhao families also have in-laws, Zhao Mo's son Zhao Ming married Guo Xun's granddaughter, after the marriage of the two families, the Guo and Zhao families supported each other, and their power increased greatly, and the power of the richest man in Wujiang, the Li family, was not equal.

As long as there are shops and storefronts opened by the Li family in the city, there will be shops and storefronts of the Zhao family or the Guo family on the side, and the Li family, the Guo family, and the Zhao family can be regarded as the three major families in Wujiang County.

Today, Guo Xun, the patriarch of the Guo family, and Zhao Ming, the eldest son of the Zhao family, came to the Li Salt Shop together, which was really the first time in the world.

As the confidant and strategist of Li Cheng, the leader of the Li family, Bai Yuan suddenly felt a lot of pressure, because he couldn't figure out the intentions of Guo Xun and Zhao Ming. However, Bai Yuan is not afraid of anything, after all, these two forces together can barely be on an equal footing with the Li family.

Bai Yuan beckoned Guo Xun and Zhao Ming to enter the salt shop, and then shouted to the subordinates beside him: "Hurry up and give the two distinguished guests a seat!" ”

"Distinguished guests are coming, why don't you hurry up and make a pot of high-quality tea!" Then Bai Yuan turned his head and winked at Li Afu for a while, and motioned for him to quickly slip out of the back door of the salt shop and call the master Li Cheng to come over.

Li Afu followed Bai Yuan for a long time, and naturally understood what Bai Yuan meant by squeezing his eyebrows, he said "snort", turned around and walked out towards the back hall of the salt shop.

After Bai Yuan saw Li Afu leaving, he turned his head and said to the two distinguished guests Guo Xun and Zhao Ming sitting on the chair with a smile on his face: "Captain Guo, Zhao Gongzi, it's already time, why haven't you two rested yet?" ”

"Didn't Mr. Bai also have no rest?" Zhao Mingdao.

Bai Yuan said with a smile: "How can Zhao Gongzi compare with Bai, Bai is cheap, and staying up late is also a common thing, Zhao Gongzi's daughter's body, staying up late is afraid of hurting his body." ”

"Staying up late once in a while may not hurt you. If you don't stay up late today, I'm afraid you may not be able to see this wonderful scene! Zhao Ming sneered.

Bai Yuan was stunned for a moment in his heart, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, as soon as Guo Xun and Zhao Ming appeared, he felt that these two people would not come here in the middle of the night for no reason. However, he still pretended to be stupid and said with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhao Ming sneered and said, "You old fox, don't pretend to be garlic with me here, do you think that this son doesn't know what you did?" As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, as long as I am willing to spend money, I will definitely get what I want to know. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Ming raised his hand, pointed to Gao Fei, who was lying on the recliner without saying a word, and said, "I'm here for this child!" ”

Bai Yuanyin's eyes narrowed into a slit and asked, "What does Zhao Gongzi mean, you want to take this child away?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhao Mingdao.

As soon as Bai Yuan heard that Zhao Ming wanted to snatch the child, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, this is the territory of the Li family, not the place of your Zhao family, how can you be allowed to go wild here?" Did you say you could take it away? It's a joke! ”

"It's not necessarily a joke!" Zhao Ming suddenly shouted, "What are you still doing standing there?" Why don't you hurry up and get the kid here! ”

As soon as the words fell, a big man behind Bai Yuan suddenly stretched out his arm to Gao Fei who was lying on the recliner, wanting to hug Gao Fei. This sudden scene surprised Bai Yuan, he never expected that among the few subordinates he trusted, there was actually one person who was Zhao Ming.

Bai Yuan and the other three strong men didn't react, seeing that the big hand was about to catch Gao Fei, who knew that Gao Fei had already prepared, the whole person was like a loach, and he slipped off the chaise longue with a swoop, so that the big man who came to catch him not only pounced, but also stumbled and fell on the chaise longue.

Immediately after, Goofy suddenly turned around and stepped on the back of the big man and jumped onto the counter of the salt shop, standing on the counter and looking down at everyone in the salt shop.

Everyone was also surprised to see Gao Fei's agile skills. In fact, as soon as Guo Xun and Zhao Ming entered the door, Gao Fei saw that the door was coming, the surname Guo and the surname Zhao were in the same group, they were at odds with the surname Li, and this time they came to the door, it must be because of him. It must have been when Bai Yuan sent someone to arrest him, and the news leaked out, and the surname Guo and the surname Zhao knew about it, so the person surnamed Guo and the person surnamed Zhao came to catch a mantis cicada, and the yellow finch was behind.

After Zhao Ming sat down, Gao Fei noticed that his left hand had been gesturing like nothing, and he glanced at several strong men behind Bai Yuan, and found that there was something wrong with the expression of one of the big men, so he already knew the mystery and prepared early.

Gao Fei stuck his hands on his waist and said confidently: "If you say catch me, you will arrest me, how old are you?" This old man still treats me as a guest, what do you treat me for? ”

"You little rabbit cub, how dare you talk to my son like this? Believe it or not, as long as this son says a word, he will immediately let you go to the underworld! Zhao Ming said angrily.

At this time, several men in strong suits behind Zhao Ming came over and shouted "Childe" in unison, as if waiting for Zhao Ming's orders.

Guo Xun, who had been sitting there and had never spoken, suddenly laughed, he put one hand on Zhao Ming's arm and patted it gently, while looking at Gao Fei standing on the counter and said, "Interesting...... This kid is really interesting......"

The big man behind Bai Yuan who was backing the water had been knocked unconscious by the other three big men at this time, Bai Yuan walked straight in front of Guo Xun, and arched his hand: "Captain Guo, you are a highly respected person, I believe that you will definitely be convincing when you do things, Zhao Gongzi came to my Li Salt Shop in the middle of the night to make trouble, and he wanted to rob people, you have to give an explanation for this matter, right?" ”

"Say? Mr. Bai, the old man still wants to ask you for an explanation! Guo Xun changed the kind smile on his face, became iron-blue, and shot out of his deep-set eye sockets.

Bai Yuan asked, "How do you say this?" ”

"Mr. Bai, you don't pretend to be confused with the old man here, we understand that people don't talk nonsense, the old man is a cheerful person and doesn't like to beat around the bush. I'll just ask you one thing, what's the matter with the refined salt you sold at a high price two days ago? Guo Xun said.

Bai Yuan said: "I haven't already explained it to Lord Zhang that day." Those refined salts are a kid who urgently needs money, so exchange them with me! ”

"Mr. Bai, I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Guo Xun took out a bag of refined salt from his arms, and it was still on the ground, and said slowly, "These refined salts were sold to my store by a middle-aged man yesterday, and today he sold the same refined salt to the Zhao family's store, no more, no less, each time it is just five catties, and two times together it is a total of ten catties, you can explain to me, what is going on!" ”

Without waiting for Bai Yuan to speak, Gao Fei replied first: "I asked people to sell these refined salts. ”

Guo Xun and Zhao Ming were not surprised by Gao Fei's words at all, they had already known the news, just during the day. Moreover, they also learned that this child was actually able to make refined salt, which can be described as heavy news, for them, this is an infinite way of wealth. At this moment, the two of them came here for only one purpose, and that was to rob this child who could produce refined salt.

"Kid, how do you have so much refined salt?" Guo Xun asked.

Gao Fei said: "Does this have anything to do with you?" ”

"Of course it matters, if you still have refined salt, I am willing to pay to buy all the refined salt in your hand, how much you have, how much I will buy." Guo Xun said very simply.

Bai Yuan frowned, what he planned by himself, he didn't expect it to be known by the Guo family and the Zhao family so easily, and the two families are now openly joining forces to rob people. With all the hard work and planning, is it possible to make wedding dresses for others now? Bai Yuan was unwilling in his heart, and he would not give up such a good opportunity to make money. If the Guo family and the Zhao family have refined salt, then they will monopolize the salt market in the entire Wujiang County, and even the entire Liyang County, which will cut off the wealth of his Li family.

At this time, Bai Yuan was anxious, he was just a henchman by Li Cheng's side, and his status could not compete with Guo Xun and Zhao Ming at all, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of Guo Xun and Zhao Ming, he was actually just a dog by Li Cheng's side.

"This place is not far from the Li Mansion, why did Ah Fu go for so long and not come back, if the master doesn't come again, this financial road will really be cut off." Bai Yuan said anxiously in his heart.

"Yes, yes, we will buy as much as you have, and we can cooperate for a long time!" Zhao Ming continued Guo Xun's words and said.

Gao Fei asked, "So how much are you willing to buy my refined salt for a catty?" ”

"Sixty big money a pound, I will buy as much as you have!" Guo Xun said arrogantly.

"Oh, sixty dollars a pound, that's a lot." Gao Fei sighed.

Zhao Ming swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered to Guo Xun: "Sixty big money...... Isn't it a little more? ”

Guo Xun lowered his voice and said to Zhao Ming: "What do you know! It's the right thing to coax this kid first, as long as he's in our hands, isn't it what we say how much? ”

Zhao Mingtao laughed twice and said, "It's all up to my grandfather!" ”

Bai Yuan saw Guo Xun and Zhao Ming muttering quietly there, but he couldn't hear what they were saying, seeing that Gao Fei was moved, he was afraid that Gao Fei would leave with Guo Xun and Zhao Ming. So, Bai Yuan was in a hurry, and without asking for the master's consent, he shouted loudly: "I will give seventy big money a catty." ”

Zhao Ming suddenly heard Bai Yuan's voice, and his heart was unhappy, so he yelled at Bai Yuan: "Old fox, what's the matter with you here!" If you dare to talk nonsense to me again, see that this son doesn't let people tear your mouth apart! ”

"It still depends on the owner to beat the dog, who is so bold as to dare to spread wild on my Li family's territory?"

Suddenly, a sonorous and powerful voice came from outside the salt shop, and a group of figures followed.
