So everyone jokingly said that the pigs killed by Wu Laoshi were all honest pigs.
As soon as Wu Laoshi removed the door panel, his eyes lit up, and he saw a paper bag the size of a blue brick on the ground next to his door, which was tied tightly with hemp rope. He looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he quickly took the oil paper bag and put it in his arms, and turned around to find his mother-in-law happily.
His mother-in-law was also overjoyed when she saw it, and opened the paper package, only to see that it was full of salt particles of white flowers.
His mother-in-law took a breath: "This is the best white salt!" ”
No matter which feudal dynasty, salt is an extremely important strategic material, since the Han Dynasty, it is nationalized, and iron alongside, the implementation of salt and iron monopoly. As long as you don't eat salt, all kinds of diseases will immediately come and linger, so the profits are huge. Salt in the Ming Dynasty was quite expensive, and when people ate, they were only willing to put a little bit of it in it, just a little bit of taste. Such a bag of salt, if you really buy it, I am afraid that you will have to have two taels of silver, if the couple saves it, it will be enough for three years.
As a butcher, although he had some family resources, he was not rich, and as soon as the husband and wife put it together, they were greedy in their hearts, so they hid the salt.
As a result, as soon as they hid, they heard a violent knock on the door, and the two of them were thieves, and they glanced at each other, and Wu Laoshi hurriedly went up to open the door.
When I opened the door, I was still an acquaintance - Xiaoqi Wang Mazi of Chenzi Baihu, who had ten catties of good hind leg meat here ten days ago, and the money had not been paid!
"Master Wang, you, what do you have to do? The meat, the meat is sold out, the new pigs have not been slaughtered, you, do you want to come again? Wu stammered honestly.
"Which one wants your meat?" Wang Mazi pushed Wu Laoshi to the side and walked in proudly.
He was wearing three layers of cotton armor, a red tasseled helmet with a large eaves, and a waist knife in his hand, which looked very powerful. Wu Laoshi cowered on the side and didn't dare to speak, his mother-in-law was angry when she saw it, and pulled Wu Laoshi behind her, like an old hen, and scolded: "Wang Mazi, you dog head, you made half a fan of pork here with us three months ago, and you didn't give the money, you asked for two front legs a month and a half ago, and the money is also there." I cut ten pounds of hind legs a month ago, and I ran away, and my man went to you to ask for debts, and you were beaten up and blasted out. Seeing that Lang Zhong spent a tael of silver to catch the medicine, and it also delayed the business, what do you say about this? All of them add up to a total of five taels of silver! The old lady can't find you if she wants to, and now you dare to send it to the door, if you don't give me an explanation today, I'm going to catch you and go to see your parent! The old lady heard that the newly appointed master Lian is a reasonable person, so she will make trouble in front of him, and see if she will break your dog's legs! ”
This angry scolding was full of aura, Wang Mazi was exposed by her, a little annoyed and angry, slapped the scabbard on the table, and said sharply: "You shrew, the master is not here to talk to you today, sir, let me ask you, when you opened the door just now, did you see a bag of salt outside the door?" ”
Wu Laoshi and his mother-in-law suddenly trembled in their hearts, and his mother-in-law said to herself: "The old lady hasn't opened the door yet, you dog head will be killed, who saw what Laoshzi salt?" ”
Wang Mazi sneered, and said, "I really didn't see it?" Master, I can remind you that yesterday, the thieves of Heifeng Village were robbed by the big family of Erwang, and the silver of Baihuahua and the salt of Baihuahua were robbed I don't know how much! This salt is stolen goods! If you dare to hide that salt privately, you are a bandit, you are selling stolen goods, and you are in a gang with the people of Heifeng Village. In the suburbs of Beijing, after such a major event happened, after those thieves in Heifeng Village were caught, they all had to be executed, and you gangs committed crimes the same! Don't blame the sir, I didn't warn you! ”
When Wu Laoshi and the two heard this, they were immediately cold, collaborating with the enemy? Decollation? Ling Chi? Didn't I just take a packet of salt?
Wu Laoshi's legs were weak, and he only felt that his crotch was hot, and he was scared to pee.
Wang Mazi sneered, and searched through the cabinets in his house, his mother-in-law looked at it stupidly, and didn't dare to say any more. After a while, Wang Mazi searched out the bag of salt, shook it twice in his hand, and sneered: "Okay, two, I didn't see it!" The courage is really not small, and he dares to communicate with the bandits of Heifeng Village? They were killed in Black Wind Village yesterday, and you were the ones who reported the news, right? Come on, let's go with you! ”
Wu Laoshi suddenly howled and hugged Wang Mazi's leg: "Uncle Wang! Master Wang! We don't want the money you owe, please be clear to your old man, we really don't have bandits, I'm so timid and afraid, can your old man not know? Please, be merciful! ”
Hearing him mention this stubble, Wang Mazi suddenly became angry and snorted: "Wronged? Go to Master Lian and shout grievances! ”
After that, he took out the iron chain from his back, locked Wu Laoshi and his mother-in-law together, and dragged him towards the Chenzi Baihu House.
The two went out dejectedly and nervously, but saw that the streets were full of people who were chained, dragged by the soldiers of the Chenzi Institute one by one, and escorted to the hundred households.
Because early this morning, when many people opened the door, they found that they had a bag of salt in front of the door, and few of these poor people in Liu Town, the official road, could resist the temptation of this bag of salt, so most of them hid, and as soon as they hid, they found that a soldier came to the door.
"Master, you are highly respected and well-informed, what should you do about this, you can give me an idea!"
It is a spacious hall with blue brick floors, which is not very luxurious, but it is also neat and tidy. At the top of the hall, an old man with a gray beard and a wrinkled face was sitting with his brows twisted, his face puzzled. And in front of him, there were already a lot of people, middle-aged and young, all of them were the old man with anxious faces, and there was expectation in his eyes.
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive and heavy, and finally, someone couldn't help but ask the above sentence.
This old man is the old man Liu Lao, the township elder who was pushed out by the official road Liu Town, and the following people are all relatives who have been arrested in the Chenzi Hundred Households, which is also mixed with a few women, and the pillars of the family have been caught in, and they are sobbing quietly there.
The old folk, in the Ming Dynasty is a very powerful force, the Ming court pays attention to the rule of inaction, the emperor does not go to the court for 20 years, the government can still operate and also launched the famous Wanli three major expeditions, which shows how strong the old empire's habitual surname and system are strong.
