Chapter 49 [Smuggling]

Then the mother and son went to the bedroom in the backyard and told the old man what they had just discussed with Yao Zheng.

Let's first talk about Yao Zheng's promise to have a tea ceremony on the day of the opening of the old shop, and the old man who has roughly stopped the pain is also calm, but when he talks about salt and sugar, the old man is so angry that he almost jumped up from the bed, but he pulled the pain in his abdomen, and then stared at Yao Erniang and said: "Your San Lang is also a timid person who is as timid as a mouse and has a small eye for a mouse, and the official is not easy to sell, so he sells it privately!" ”

The scalper was stunned when he heard this, but he also remembered that the old man had a wide range of friends, but Yao Erniang scolded him: "The slave Saburo is as timid as a mouse, or a rat's eyes, how can I say that now he is also the master of Huangzhou, and he is also an official from the seventh grade!" But don't forget, your old Huang family store is also ......"

"Am I wrong?" The old man didn't wait for Yao Erniang to finish speaking, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Old woman, I was wrong!" I'm not right, I shouldn't say that San Lang is a rat and a cowardly mouse! ”

"Humph!" Yao Erniang snorted coldly, and was about to get up and walk away, but the old man had to wink at the scalper with a wry smile and said, "Alas! Look at my broken mouth, don't learn from the cow! ”

The scalper nodded and smiled, but he also helped pull Yao Erniang and said, "Mother! Dad admitted his mistake, so let it go! Or listen to my dad and get down to business, what is this private sale! ”

Yao Erniang scolded in a low voice: "Hmph! What else to say, it's just that those fox friends and dog friends that your old man knows, the city fox club rat took the head of the person to sell smuggled salt, if he is caught, it will be a big crime to kill the head! You said that those killing billets can keep the secret for my family, and even if Miki doesn't go to prison, he will recruit him, and the family is afraid that even your uncle will not be able to escape. ”

"A woman's opinion!" When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but choke: "This Langlizi on and off the river has been selling salt on this river for hundreds of years, just like your mother said, wouldn't it have been destroyed long ago, and the people on both sides of the river still have cheap salt to eat?" ”

Yao Erniang glanced at the old man and said: "Others don't say it, your fox friends and dog friends, the slave family doesn't believe it!" ”

The old man didn't give in, so he choked and said: "They all say that you are a woman's opinion, how can you know the affairs of a man's family......"

Seeing that his father and mother were about to arch the fire again, the scalper remembered something and asked, "Dad! Do you still remember the uncle of the Lu family who sold our real bream in the water market? ”

The old man hurriedly smiled: "Are you talking about Lu Er?" How can you not remember, you said that Lu Er is really a fisherman, in fact, he is also a prodigal son, there is a mixed name called Yizhang Pole Lu Er, he is a really good man. ”

The scalper asked again: "Is he kind to my family?" ”

The old man replied: "It is my family who has a favor with him, six or seven years ago, he ate on the river, hid in the city and did not dare to show his face, it was your father who hid him, and invited a doctor to treat his injuries, he once said that he owed my family a life......

"That's it!" When the scalper heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted, and then told Lu Er on the passenger boat that he put him and told him to find a chance to escape, but the old man was so excited that he patted the bed and said loudly: "Okay!" Good Lu Er! A good man, I am convinced of repaying the favor like this! ”

Although the scalper has only been a Taoist boy for Zhu Taozhi for six years, he can be regarded as having traveled south and north to see it well, so he naturally knows about this illegal salt trafficking. As mentioned above, the government collected the salt produced in these places at a price of five or six yuan, and then transported it to various places through Cao Yun, but dared to sell it at a high price of more than 20 to 40 yuan, and it was too low to increase the price, and the official warehouses in various places also mixed the salt with sediment in a black heart, and the government ate all the salt profits, not to mention, and severely cracked down on the people who sold illegal salt in various places.

Although since the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, it is a common practice to collect salt profits for national use, but the smuggling of salt dealers has also struggled with the government for thousands of years.

Therefore, when the old man said that the official sale could not be smuggled sale, the scalper's eyes were also bright, but the specific plan was not yet, after all, he was just a child, he had no connections, and he did not know the situation of the smuggling community in Huangzhou, but this smuggling was really a good way, and after thinking about it, he said to the old man: "Dad, this uncle of the Lu family is a person who knows kindness and righteousness, I don't know if he does a business of selling smuggled salt?" ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Do it!" How can you not do it, but I heard that he has now entered the Red Dragon Village and is a small leader under the Seven Masters, and this time he released you privately, so I don't know if he will cause trouble. ”

The scalper said: "Don't worry about letting me go privately, this black pot is picked up by my senior brother, and when I escaped with my sister and brother of the Wan family, the senior brother also fought with the seven masters, and also set fire to the sails, and I am not afraid." I thought, when my father is well, I might as well inquire, if he comes to help my family sell this salt and sugar, I am not afraid that he will harm my family. ”

The old man said with a straight face: "Okay! Niu Er thought well, I saved him back then, and now he has returned the favor with you, as long as he is willing, I will confess to him eight times. ”

The father and son have a plan, Yao Erniang doesn't talk much, this old Huang family is naturally in charge, watching the two of them discuss seriously, Yao Erniang's mind didn't think that this collusion with thieves to sell illicit salt is a big crime to be killed by the government, but thought that this time the old Huang family is finally going to turn over, thinking that the old man suddenly had a big belly emergency, she pawned her wealth everywhere to seek medical advice, and finally her son was taken away by Zhu Taozhi to be a Taoist child, thinking about it and couldn't help but cry.

The fiery scalper, who was talking to the old man, suddenly saw Yao Erniang wiping her tears, and was shocked: "Mother, why are you crying?" ”

Yao Erniang shook her head and didn't speak, just wiped her tears with her sleeve, but the old man smiled bitterly and said, "That's it!" Cow, go back to your room! ”

"But......" The scalper was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to say hello.

The old man could only say: "Alas! I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, selling illicit salt has always been a big crime, and your mother must be worried that if the matter is revealed, how will it affect your uncle! ”

The scalper was stunned when he heard it, and it was also true, how to say that his uncle was an official of the imperial court, and if something happened, he would also implicate his uncle, it would be really difficult to do!

Who knew that Yao Erniang snorted and scolded: "Nonsense, this Huang family is the Huang family, the Yao family is the Yao family, your father and son don't say that they want food and salt, they just want to go to the river to be a prodigal child, and the old lady naturally wants to be a thief, but I don't want you to worry about being so idle." The slave family is just ...... It's just that the cow seems to have grown up overnight, and I'm just angry...... I don't know how much Niu Er has suffered and suffered from the old fairy over the years! ”
