"I'm afraid this little brother doesn't know that this 'good dish without alcohol' is a high-quality pickle, and the longer it needs to be cellared, the better.

The guy leading the way in front of him said with a smile, and he didn't look back to lead the way.

Lin Zhao followed the other party silently with his hands behind his back, and when he arrived at a door in the backyard, the guy opened the door and motioned for Lin Zhao to enter, and then closed the door behind him.

Lin Zhao closed his eyes slightly, then opened them, smiled indifferently, and stepped inside.

Although it looks like another house here, in the backyard of this house, not far from the back door of the house, an old man is there smiling and greeting:

"Don't hide it from Captain Lin, the street opposite the entrance of this inn and the street opposite this house should go around in a big circle, no one will think of communicating here, although it is close, it is a safe place. ”

Lin Zhao looked at the old man, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that the old man who was fighting with me on the Yangtze River turned out to be the leader of the White Lotus Sect, Dong Qianli Dong, but you can also calm down, and you stayed in Yangzhou for a year before meeting me." ”

The old man was tall, dressed in a green shirt, his hair was as black as ink, and his appearance was handsome, and he was none other than Dong Qianli, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

Listening to Lin Zhao's words, Dong Qianli's eyes froze.

The sentence "I stayed in Yangzhou for a year before meeting me" is too informative, which is enough to show that Lin Zhao is aware of Dong Qianli's existence.

Could it be that Gu Jinbiao leaked it?

This guy is so bold, isn't he afraid of dismissal?

This thought passed in Dong Qianli's heart, and then he laughed and said: "It is said that Lin Duwei is smart and heroic, and he must be in the middle of things, and he is really extraordinary when he sees it today, he has been in Yangzhou for a year, just to observe the situation of Yangzhou Salt Road, in order to ensure the safety of my teaching, I think Lin Duwei can understand." ”

Lin Zhao heard him say this and nodded slowly.

Because through his investigation, this Dong Qianli is not bad.

After the White Lotus Sect separated from the Ming Sect, it shouted "Vacuum world, no old mother", bewitching the people everywhere and squeezing a lot of money.

However, since Dong Qianli became the head of the sect, he has vigorously reformed the religious affairs, cleaned up the moths in the sect, built temples, and gradually had a tendency to whitewash the White Lotus Sect.

However, reforming religious affairs, building temples, promoting talents, and eliminating residues all require a lot of money.

And the industry with the fastest money in the world is naturally the salt and iron industry monopolized by the government.

The smuggling of official salt is the industry with the lowest cost, the fastest effect, and the fastest money.

But before that, as long as you have people in your hands, knives and guns, and you are not afraid of death, you can easily smuggle a large amount of official salt.

However, after Lin Ruhai became the deputy envoy of the salt transportation envoy of the capital, Lin Zhao's tentacles went deep into the two Huai salt fields.

He has cultivated a large number of outstanding talents, not only managed the salt works, but also sent a large number of soldiers to patrol, and exercised the strictest control over the smuggling of official salt.

As a result, the White Lotus Sect's industry was affected.

However, Lin Zhao understood that although the private salt was profitable, the White Lotus Sect was not limited to this industry, and Dong Qianli would not look for him for this matter.

"Sect Leader Dong is not a native of Yangzhou, since he lives here, he must also be targeted by people with intentions, you must know that the Zhen family in Jinling, the Jiangnan garrison camp, as well as the Yan Gang, the Cao Gang, and even the Wenxiang Sect are all eyeing your sect. ”

Hearing Lin Zhao say this, Dong Qianli laughed, made a gesture of invitation sideways, and explained:

"Dong's business inside and outside the city, Gaoyou has business in several counties, up and down to do it, as long as Yangzhou Mansion has an official, they have to go to see and give gifts, and no one cares after a long time, besides, I don't know that the Yuelai Inn over there is a business, that is, the fragrance is everywhere, and I can't find me. ”

Lin Zhao didn't continue the topic, the house was cleaned very clean, but no one was here, the two sides sat down, Dong Qianli got up and poured a cup of tea for Lin Zhao, and said:

"There are only two old servants here, and they are all sent out to buy vegetables. ”

"Don't be so polite, since you invited me, there must be a deal, just to put it bluntly. ”

Dong Qianli's expression became more cautious, leaned forward, and said slowly:

"The list of the Smelling Fragrance Sect!"

Smell the incense?

Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Dong Qianli: "The base camp of the Wenxiang Sect is in Yangzhou?"

The Smelling Fragrance Sect is a great religion of the time, but it is a sect that takes rebellion as its own mission.

Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, this incense smelling sect has rebelled many times, even in this dynasty, there have been several rebellions.

Dong Qianli sighed and said: "Originally, he was in the righteous spirit of the rivers and lakes, even if Dong Mou had a lot of hatred with the Wenxiang Sect, it was only a vendetta in the rivers and lakes, but now it seems that if he doesn't draw a clear line with them, the White Lotus Sect is afraid that it will be doomed." Don't hide it from Lin Duwei, since the rebellion was suppressed thirty years ago, after thirty years of lying on the salary and trying the courage, its power has risen again, this Yangzhou is the prosperity of the world, they naturally want to come here to accumulate money, with my cold eyes, there are six thousand core personnel of the Wenxiang Sect gathered near Yangzhou, this is just on the surface, as for how many are secretly, then I don't know. ”

"Six thousand people gathered here, it seems that it is indeed powerful. Just sweep them away, then this vacated force is your White Lotus Sect. Lin Zhao looked at Dong Qianli and said.

"Lin Duwei probably understands that now that the White Lotus Sect has begun to wash white, the grass people have also gone to the heads of the various Dao sects to discuss Taoist classics, and they have gained a lot. Dong Qianli said with a smile.

Lin Zhao nodded.

In his heart, he only believed Dong Qianli's words for three points.

Of course, the Smelling Fragrance Sect must be eliminated, but it cannot be allowed to develop the White Lotus Sect.

However, if they want to wash their hands, they can take the opportunity to push for peace in the world.

He said lightly: "If you see it, it seems that after this Wenxiang Sect came to Yangzhou, the officials of the first term did not dare to touch them, and many generals and colonels of the military rank were even more pressed to death by them, either embarrassed for annihilation, or unable to raise their heads, so that they became bigger, and now there is a tendency to overturn, but Yangzhou is singing and dancing, no one notices this, even the Jinyi Guard and the Dragon Guard don't know, this is really speechless." ”

"Then what are the requirements of Sect Leader Dong after handing over the list of Wenxiang Sects?" Lin Zhao asked.

"I heard that the Wei family and thirty percent of their net worth of salt have not been separated, Dong is cheeky and wants to get this batch of salt introductions, so that my White Lotus Sect can completely embark on the right path. Dong Qianli said solemnly.

"You're well-informed. Lin Zhao nodded: "Since I knew that Sect Master Dong came to Yangzhou, I held this piece of salt in my hand, whether it was the Zhen family or other families, they all wanted this, but I refused, because I knew that Sect Master Dong would definitely give me a satisfactory condition." ”

"So, I promise you!"

Lin Zhao said slowly.

Dong Qianli was shocked.

He thought he was hiding in the shadows, but he didn't expect that his every move would be noticed by others.

He also understood that if the conditions he handed over today could not satisfy Lin Zhao, he would not be able to get this salt quotation no matter what.

So after bidding farewell to Lin Zhao, he arranged his manpower, followed the car, and quietly left Yangzhou.

And after Lin Zhao returned to the mansion to change his clothes, he called Gu Haiquan and Han Wenchong over, and said with a smile: "The two of you haven't been talking about the years, and there is no merit to establish, now that the great merit is here, it depends on whether the two brothers dare or not!"
