Chapter 333: The Contest (I)

In a huge Youzhou city, if you want to find a needle in a haystack to find someone who is not able to see the light, whether it is Shang Qingyang or Lin Lan, you have to spend a lot of effort to lure the snake out of the hole. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's just that Shang Qingyang is a praying mantis, and if he wants to catch Yanjun, the cicada, he has to ask Lin Lan if he agrees.

Hu Yanjun was a little anxious, so he took the initiative to find it and said, "Master Hou, it's been two days, and there has been no movement in this Shang Qingyang, could it be that he found something?" ”

Lin Lan frowned and said, "No hurry. Today we will see. ”

"Yesterday in Luoyang, I heard that there was a sale of illicit salt, and it was estimated that it was Shang Qingyang's handiwork, he was in Luoyang, and it seemed that he didn't mean to come to Sinan to arrest me, did he really see something."

Lin Lan shook his head and said, "Let me ask you, if you don't have the imperial court behind you, would you dare to show your head in the car of smuggled salt in Sinan County yesterday?" ”

"Naturally, I don't dare, this car salt waits and sees, I definitely can't go in person." It's not about being timid, it's about prudence. is not only worried about Hu Sanbo, even if it is foolproof, he Hu Yanjun will not show his head.

"That's right, since you think so, then Shang Qingyang also expected this, he must think that Sinan County is just a bait you dropped, and he won't really come over, he must still be waiting for an opportunity to move, as for Luoyang, he is selling illicit salt, and it is also a smoke bomb he threw out, wanting you to relax your vigilance."

"How's that to be?" Hu Yanjun's current situation is very embarrassing, as the head of the salt lord, as long as Lin Lan nods, let alone escorted to Beijing, it is okay to land on the spot. Since Lin Lan kept him useful, then he had to show his role even more.

Lin Lan smiled: "Forgot the night in the pear orchard back then? There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, think about it, if you are a merchant Qingyang at this time, what will you do? ”

This time, Hu Yanjun was not busy answering, but stood on the side for a long time, and when Lin Lan put down the tea cup in his hand, Hu Yanjun said: "If I were Hu Yanjun, I would wait at this time, when there is illegal salt sold in other places, and when it will be the time for him to do it." ”

"Hmph, that's half right, it should be when I met his shadow, that is, when he threw himself into the net."

"Shadows?"

Lin Lan smiled and said: "Since yesterday, there are four or five merchants in Youzhou City who want to buy these dozens of truckloads of illicit salt at a high price, I dare to predict that there must be people from other merchants here, I have already calculated it, just waiting to lure the snake out of the hole." By the way, I knew that you were from Great Xia, and the Huyan clan seemed to be the current royal nobles, why did you flee in the wilderness? ”

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Hu Yanjun's eyes, and he said: "Huyan Lieyang, colluding with foreigners, killing my father and emperor, seizing power and usurping the throne, one day, I will wash the royal court in blood!" ”

……

……

"Master Shang, yesterday I discussed the matter of private salt with Hu Yanjun's subordinates, and I already have eyebrows."

Shang Qingyang smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough, can't you hold it?" How is it? ”

"This kid is really cautious, at first gritted his teeth, and denied that there were other goods, and when it was noon, two merchants received this kid's letter, if they wanted private salt, they waited to listen to the letter."

Shang Qingyang smiled and said: "It seems that after the incident in Eagle Ridge, this kid has also become clever, cunning rabbit three caves, but after all, he is still too young, these merchants are all sent by me, in this Youzhou City, you can't do anything with money, hehe, notify Gu Tianyuan and Chen Sanpi, and take people to wait separately, and they are extremely important to catch people!" ”

"Master Shang, what about you?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Shang Qingyang's mouth, and he said, "Me? Hehe, Hu Yanjun, I hope you don't pretend to be smart. Otherwise, you will die even more desperately! ”

……

……

After noon, the wind of early autumn passed by, and there were still many people in Sinan County who did not buy salt. As for those who buy salt, it is like a New Year, although they spend a lot of money, but at least they are not sick, and the autumn harvest is about to come, which is not enough energy, who will harvest the harvest of a year?

A cart of salt is not enough for the people of a county, not to mention that Hu Yanjun's first cart of salt is mixed with water, in order to confuse Shang Qingyang, the real big head, is still hidden in the mountain col and does not close to the county seat.

After the old lady of the Liu family had lunch, he lay lazily on the rocking chair, their Liu family is naturally worry-free about salt and rice, as for why not open a warehouse to sell salt, the reason is very simple, even if the price is high at this time, it will not be high.

The old lady of the Liu family relied on this hand to judge the situation and stubbornly replace the eggs with chickens, chickens with ducks, ducks into geese, geese into sheep, all the way to take advantage of the village, and in the end, in exchange for such a big industry of the Liu family.

"Old lady, old lady, someone wants to sell our Liu family salt."

Old lady Liu suddenly straightened her waist, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Is it the person who sold salt at the head of the village?" ”

"Like. The small one is not clear, but the person who came said it very clearly, there are dozens of truckloads of salt, it depends on whether the Liu family dares to eat it. ”

Old lady Liu was on a whim, and her face became ruddy, "Eat!" Dozens of carts of salt can't support our Liu family! ”

The middle-aged man on the side said with some concern: "Dad, you can think about it. If this salt is eaten, the eyes of the official family will be dropped, where shall we go? When the time comes, it must not be put in the warehouse to get moldy? ”

"Fool, when have you ever seen such a salt famine, where hundreds of thousands of people did not die? Even if it is really the salt of the government that has been allocated, when it comes to our Sinan County, most of this is sea salt from Jiaodong, how can this Huai salt be easy to sell? Eat! ”

The old lady of the Liu family was worried that there was no way to make another windfall, but he didn't expect to finally catch up today.

The old lady walked like a fly, calling out to the mother-in-law from home, ready to change clothes, and the sons on one side had their own thoughts.

"Dad, he doesn't sell this salt himself, he has to sell it to us?"

Old lady Liu snorted coldly: "You know a fart." How did the Liu family turn over the book and squeeze the old Hu family down? It's just by pouring out private salt! You haven't seen the county magistrate and the official haven't moved, and the relationship has already been opened. ”

"Now that the relationship is opened, are they stupid? Still not selling it yourself? ”

The old lady buttoned the collar, and after walking a few steps, she felt panicked, so she untied it, twisted her neck a few times, and said, "There is something going on in the rivers and lakes, who would have thought that?" This kind of thing Lao Tzu encountered once back then, and made a windfall, if he can make another one this time, who in this Sinan County will still call my Liu family! ”
