The salt transport envoy Yamen is a freak, don't look at its nominal belonging to the household department, but in fact it is an independent kingdom, the household department in addition to the write-off, can not manage the salt transport envoy Yamen at all, but anyone who can serve as the salt transport envoy, are from the emperor Jane, more interesting is that most of the salt transport envoys also serve as the imperial history, with the power of rumors, the power of the power, is not the district is the three official titles can be summed up, if it is changed to a Qin cha, can you suppress the extremely powerful salt transport envoy I am afraid of two words, But this time it was Hongqing who came to be such a popular Baylor, even if He Mingfu was given ten more dares, he didn't dare to compete with Hongqing on the bright side, and after being reprimanded by the good students, he could only go back to his yamen in a gloomy manner, and marched all the way into the crowded back hall with a straight face.

"Yo, Lord He is back."

"Lord He, what did Lord Qincha say?"

"Lord Ho, is there any news?"

……

As soon as He Mingfu walked out of the corner on the edge of the main hall, the salt merchants who were originally sitting around the front hall immediately stood up, and they didn't even care about the ceremony, so they immediately rushed up, surrounded He Mingfu, and asked nonsense, and the noisy voice made He Mingfu dizzy.

"All quiet, all quiet, listen to what the official says."

Although the people surrounding He Mingfu are only some merchants, and the four major merchants are still sitting firmly in the hall, but it is these small and medium-sized salt merchants who are the most difficult to mess with, He Mingfu has made a lot of money in the past, and I don't know how many handles have fallen into the hands of people, so he has no courage to turn his face with all the salt merchants, even if he is full of anxiety from the noise, he can only wave his hand and shout loudly.

"Lord He, don't sell it, hurry up and say it."

"Yes, Lord He, what kind of situation is this, I'm in a hurry."

"Lord He, you should hurry up and give the little ones an explanation."

……

A group of small and medium-sized salt merchants are all characters who go south and north, and the habits of the rivers and lakes are very important, if they face He Mingfu alone, a member of the imperial court, they really don't dare to be presumptuous, but at this time, under the overwhelming crowd, they are really not afraid of He Mingfu, and they don't care how He Mingfu said it, they just keep yelling.

"Enough, it's all noisy, calm down for Lao Tzu!"

He Mingfu had no problem with the salt merchants, but some people couldn't stand it, but when he saw the tall Liu Ba Nu suddenly slapped the coffee table next to him, he roared angrily, which immediately made all the salt merchants close their mouths, and no one dared to say more.

"Alas......"

Finally got rid of the entanglement of the small and medium-sized salt merchants, but poor He Mingfu was already sweating profusely, but he didn't bother to wipe it, sighed, squeezed out of the crowd, and slowly stepped up to the front hall.

"I've seen Lord He."

"Lord He, please take a seat."

……

He Mingfu came to the hall like this, and the four chief businessmen didn't dare to slack off, and they greeted each other with a smile, but Liu Ba Nu had a dark face and didn't say a word, obviously seeing the clues from He Mingfu's face.

"Princess, I'm sorry, this official has done his best, but ......, alas, this matter is no longer something that the lower officials can do, and after all, it must be nodded by Lord Qincha."

Sure enough, as Liu Ba Nu expected, after He Mingfu sat down dejectedly, he sighed and said the fact that he had hit a wall in front of Hongqing.

"This, how is this good, Lord He, you can't just let it go, at the moment, the salt is urging all over the country, if the supply is not enough, it must not be played."

As soon as he heard He Mingfu say this, Dong Wentao, the chubby head of the Dong family, couldn't hold it back, and buried himself with fat on his face.

"Yes, Lord He, if this vote doesn't increase, I won't be able to hold it anymore, you can do it."

"Lord He, we have never been less filial, you can't see death without saving!"

"Lord He, it's a good time right now, if we have what we get, we will definitely not forget you, just raise your noble hand, it's a small please."

……

Dong Wentao shouted like this, and the other three general merchants could still calm down, but the small and medium-sized salt merchants who listened down were all blind and coaxed, begging for something, tempting people, and threatening words, how could they be in a hurry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that the official refuses to help, but it is actually Lord Qincha who insists on acting according to the plan of the previous year, and the official has already fought on the basis of reason, but ......, alas, don't say it, don't say it, when you talk about it, the official will be upset."

He Mingfu was already upset, and then he was yelled at by everyone, he was really angry and anxious, but he had too much shit under his buttocks, even if he was angry, he didn't have the courage to have a big attack in front of all the salt merchants, so he could only wait until everyone stopped shouting, and then shook his head with a wry smile, showing the fact that he couldn't help.

"How can this be reasonable, we have never been less than the taxes of the imperial court, and there are donations every year of disaster, and now it is just a request to adjust the purchase plan slightly, and it is so prevaricated, I really regard me as nothing, this matter can't be just settled, go, and find that guy to seek justice!"

Don't look at Dong Wentao looking chubby, he seems to be very kind-hearted, but in fact he is a short-tempered person, hearing He Mingfu say this, he immediately became furious, and yelled and shouted to gather people to find Hongqing to settle accounts.

"Yes, this matter can't be left like this, I'll wait for justice together!"

"That's right, if you don't wait for me to give an explanation, I'll go to Beijing to sue the emperor and see how long that little guy can be rampant?"

"Let's go, let's go, I have to let that little guy wait for me to give an explanation!"

……

A group of small and medium-sized salt merchants are all hob-like characters, and they were all holding back a fire in their hearts, and then they were instigated by Dong Wentao like this, so they all became chaotic, shouting to give Hongqing a little color.

"Wait, this matter must not be done indiscriminately, and it must be considered in the long run."

Seeing that the situation was about to make a big fuss, although Liu Ba Nu, who had been sitting with a gloomy face, did not speak, but there was already a hideous look in her eyes, obviously wishing that things would make as much trouble as possible, but Wang Panshou obviously did not want to see this situation happen, so he hurriedly got up and roared with a solemn face.

"Yes, what Brother Wang said is very true, this matter must not be reckless, if it collides with Qincha, it is a capital crime!"

Sun Wanquan, the head of the Sun family, has always been friendly with the Wang family, and has already received Wang Panshou's hints, vaguely knowing the main goal of Hongqing's visit to Jiangnan this time, since he also does not want to see the situation deteriorate, he also stood up, and loudly echoed Wang Panshou's opinion. Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Ba Nu, the largest general businessman, who was sitting still.

"Lord He, you know, we are all law-abiding people, we have never dared to have a bad tax amount of the court, now, just a small request, it is difficult to make it like this, it is unreasonable to say it, we don't want to make trouble, just want to discuss with Lord Qincha, if Lord He is willing to come forward to invite, we are grateful."

Liu Ba Nu actually wanted to make a big deal about it, but he didn't want to start this head, the reason why Dong Wentao was so violent before, was actually from his instructions, but unfortunately this kind of calculation was destroyed by the Wang and Sun families, which made Liu Ba Nu grit his teeth with hatred, but on such occasions, he was not good at going crazy, so he could only make a sincere statement.

"This ......"

He Mingfu has been trained by Hongqing today, and he really doesn't have the courage to go back to find a scolding at this time, the problem is that he can't refute Liu Ba Nu's face, besides, if all the salt merchants go to Qincha to make trouble together, no matter what the result is, he He Mingfu definitely can't eat and walk around, because of this, He Mingfu can't help but be in a dilemma, and he really doesn't know how to respond for a while.

"Lord He, you just go on a trip, please."

"Yes, Lord He, we just want to negotiate with Lord Qincha, and there is no other intention, you can do it."

"Lord He, won't you refuse to help even with such a small favor?"

……

Even if He Mingfu was embarrassed again, but he was concerned about his own interests, the salt merchants categorically refused to stop there.

"Well, then the official will go on another trip."

Although he was full of reluctance, but being forced by everyone like this, He Mingfu could only shake his head helplessly, stood up, dropped a sentence of explanation, and immediately led his subordinate Goshha to hurry to the prefect's yamen......

"Little prince, Lord He is here again."

In the study of the prefect's yamen, Hongqing was still busy in the pile of documents, but he saw Li Minxing turn out from behind the screen with a strange expression, and rushed to the front with a few big strides, and whispered a word.

"Huh?"

Hearing that He Mingfu was going and returning, Hongqing's brows couldn't help frowning, and he didn't rush to make it clear, but pondered silently for a moment before waving his hand and saying, "Announce it." ”

"Wow!"

Since Hongqing ordered this, Li Minxing didn't dare to ask more, so he hurriedly answered, and left in a hurry.

"Xiaguan knocks to see the little prince!"

He Mingfu and his entourage entered the study, and Hongqing's brows were slightly frowned, obviously dissatisfied with his arrival, and his heart was immediately empty, but everyone was already here, no matter what, he had to bow first and then care about the rest.

"Excuse me."

Hongqing glanced at He Mingfu coldly, and called out with a hint of displeasure.

"Lord Sechincha Longen."

Hearing Hongqing's tone, He Mingfu's heart immediately "chuckled", but it was already difficult to ride a tiger at this time, so he had to thank him respectfully.

"Is there anything else you need to do here?"

Hongqing didn't even bother to say hello, and cut to the topic directly, showing that he was extremely impatient with He Mingfu's arrival.

"Back to Lord Qincha, the two Huai salt merchants gathered in our company, and want to invite the Lord to go to a story, I wonder if Lord Qincha can move your line?"

Hearing Hongqing's unkind tone, He Mingfu's face twitched involuntarily, and he obviously hesitated for a moment, and then he said his intentions in the future.

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard that this was the case, Hongqing's face immediately became a little unpleasant, and he snorted lightly with a gloomy face, and did not give a reply for a long time.
