"Ma'am, what the hell is going on, can you tell me now?" Lan Zhi, who was already sitting on the carriage at this moment, had to figure it all out.

At this moment, in addition to Lan Zhi, there were also Chai Yu and Zhao Wu in the car, because Zhao Wu was more familiar with the things at the dock, so he was also called.

"I also deduced this matter, the thing is that your batch of private salt was targeted by the government. I received a message in the morning that we should be careful that the government might investigate the illegal salt, but since our family does not do the illegal salt business, I didn't care. But just now, when you were talking about the shipment of illicit salt, I received another news here that the city shipping department of Huating was going to send someone to Yangshan Port to check the smuggled salt. Combined with the news from the morning, I can conclude that your private salt is being targeted. ”

After hearing Chai Yu's words, Lan Zhi was shocked: "It's impossible, it's not that I don't have a way, if I don't lend ten guts, I won't dare to do private salt trading." ”

"It's useless, how big can your door be? Eyeing this batch of private salt is Kaifeng Yin, Xu Wang Zhao Yuanxi. ”

"That's even more impossible, I'm following the path of Prime Minister Zhao Pu. I heard that Zhao Gong and King Xu are advancing. ”

From Lan Zhi's words, Chai Yu got another very useful piece of information, it turned out that there was still Zhao Pu's matter, no wonder he was able to use the power of the City Division twice before and after.

"It seems that you have been betrayed, and Zhao Pu did not hesitate to use you to deal with the Wuyue Palace, which had a holiday with Zhao Yuanxu before, in order to stabilize his position with Zhao Yuanxi. Did you also tell Zhao Pu the date of the smuggling? ”

"That's right, Zhao Gong sent someone to ask me for the date, saying that it was to help take care of everything and avoid unnecessary trouble."

"That's right, all the clues are right, otherwise how could the city boss not die today to check the smuggling salt. The group of people in the city company took advantage of the temple fair two days ago, and when they went back one by one, they were no different from the last year's goods. ”

At this time, Lan Zhi's mood was really shot while lying down if it was described in a later Internet term, Lao Tzu just wanted to smuggle some salt and make some crooked money, and the businessman who did so went to the sea, and Mao Laozi was implicated.

In fact, he blamed himself for his bad luck, and in order to seek stability, he found what he thought was the most reliable way: Zhao Pu. But I didn't expect to be sold directly by Zhao Pu. It's possible to change the way and not lie down.

When they arrived at the dock, the workers were already pouring bags of Lan Zhi's salt into the sea, but a new problem arose, because the sea water was already extremely salty, the salt in the water near the dock was close to saturation at this time, and the newly poured salt was now all condensed together, and it didn't even sink anymore.

"Quickly find someone to stir it with a stick, quick, quick, fast." With Chai Yu's order, countless small workers found the flat poles they usually picked up and began to stir the place where the salt cubes were concentrated.

But by this time, the sea water was already full of salt, and it was very difficult to stir up, and the progress was slow.

At this time, someone came to report: "Madame, it's not good, the people from the city department are less than three miles away from our wharf." ”

"What to do, what to do." At this time, Chai Yu was already sweating profusely, because she knew that once the city port department seized this batch of illegal salt, not only Lan Zhi would have an accident, but also the dock might be directly seized for a long time, and the loss would be immeasurable by then.

"Calm down, I have to calm down, there will definitely be a way for the endless road." At this time, Chai Yu felt water dripping onto her hair, so she looked up sharply and saw that the sky was cloudy, and the rain had begun to fall.

"It's raining, it's raining, it's great. Ordered everyone not to pour salt into the sea, but to pour salt directly on the pier and let the rain wash away. With Chai Yu's order, all the workers began to pour all the remaining salt on the ground, and then spread it all out with rakes.

Chai Yu, who has been living in Huating for more than two years, knows that once it starts to rain this season, it must be a downpour. It was much more efficient to spread salt on the ground and wash it directly into the sea than it is to pour it directly into the sea.

As expected, the rain became heavier and heavier, and with the heavy rain, the salt on the ground began to be soaked, then melted, and finally all flowed into the sea through the gap in the dock bridge, and the salt that had not yet melted in the sea gradually became smaller and smaller with the impact of the raindrops, and finally slowly sank into the sea.

Just after the work of destroying the corpses and destroying the traces was basically completed on the wharf, the official messenger of the city shipping department also came.

"Is this the wind that blew Lord Liu here?" Seeing that the people from the City Division were coming, Chai Yu immediately reined in his thoughts, and then changed to a hypocritical smile.

"I've seen Madame." This Lord Liu saluted Chai Yu a little and then said, "Didn't we receive a report that there was someone trafficking in illicit salt at the dock of the prince?" In order to prove the innocence of the prince, I had to personally lead the team. ”

"Our palace has never touched private salt, and the adults don't know it, so check it." I felt that I had basically destroyed all the evidence, and I wasn't afraid of what they would investigate, so I took the initiative to get out of the way.

The officer quickly turned over all the boats, but did not find a single bag of salt. This surnamed Liu naturally thought about it, did the people at the dock have already discovered the traces of the city ship company when they were still halfway through, so they dealt with it in advance.

So he sent someone to dive to the bottom of the sea near the dock. Because in his mind, it is estimated that the people at the dock are not so fast to dispose of all the salt, at most they will throw all the bags into the sea. If this is the case, there should be bags in the sea and salt in the bags that have not yet completely dissolved.

It's not that he didn't think that there would be someone in the city who notified the dock side in advance before departure, but there was almost no one in the entire city who had not received a small favor from Wu Yue's palace, and if he wanted to investigate the ghosts, even he Liu couldn't rule out the suspicion.

But to his disappointment, there was nothing in the sea, no bags, and no salt, for by this time even the unmelted grains of salt had sunk to the bottom of the sea and were mixed with the sand and could not be distinguished.

"Lord Liu, have you found anything?" Seeing that the people in the city were a little deflated, Chai Yu had a feeling of schadenfreude, he almost didn't die in a hurry just now, he deserved it.

Seeing Chai Yu's gloating look, the surnamed Liu was a little angry. "Impossible, nothing was found. You can't go wrong with intelligence. ”

At this time, an official came over with a bag and said, "Lord Liu, we found this." "It turns out that these are the leftover salt belts just now, and before they have time to deal with it, there is still some salt in the bag.

"Ma'am, can you explain to us what this is?" finally found something useful, and the mood surnamed Liu was suddenly much more relaxed.

"This one, this is a bag of ham, a batch of ham just pulled over today and is ready to be loaded on the ship, don't believe me to show you." After Chai Yu finished speaking, he turned around and entered a warehouse.

Lord Liu, who thought it was Chai Yu's ghost, also led the officials into the warehouse, and after entering the warehouse, he really found that there were countless hams hanging inside.

In fact, this batch of ham arrived five days ago, some of it was sold at the temple fair, and the rest was placed here. Chai Yu always knew about the existence of this batch of hams, so she didn't rush to deal with those salt bags.

"Look, Lord Liu, these are the same as the hams you 'bought' at the temple fair two days ago, because the sales are good, we have bought some more." Chai Yu pronounced the word in an accent, which means to tell this surnamed Liu, it's almost there, anyway, I didn't find any conclusive evidence, and you usually don't receive much from our family.

The moment he saw these hams, Lord Liu knew that today must have been a futile, so after Chai Yu finished speaking, he didn't say a word, and left with the team.

After seeing that the people from the city division were completely gone, Chai Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, she found Lan Zhi and said to him: "I am really sorry that Mr. Lan's concubine is implicated in the grievances between our palace and King Xu, Mr. Lan's losses this time are all borne by the Wuyue Palace, and after you come up with the detailed figures, just go directly to the housekeeper Zhao Wu." ”

Lan Zhi nodded silently when he heard this, everyone has said this, and it is difficult to say any complaints.

"There is one more thing that troubles Mr. Lan, that is, please temporarily stop trafficking illicit salt overseas for a period of time, and the concubine is grateful here."

After such a thing, Lan Zhi naturally didn't dare to continue to traffic illicit salt overseas in Liao, so he agreed to do so.

After solving all the things here, Chai Yu immediately ordered the carriage to take him back to the house, because his clothes were already wet from the heavy rain just now, and he had to change his clothes quickly at this time.

As soon as Chai Yu returned to the mansion, Li Nian walked over with Zhao Ling'er in his arms, but seeing that Chai Yu was soaking wet, Li Nian immediately noticed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to boil the bath water and prepare to change clothes.

Although Chai Yu quickly took a shower and changed his clothes, because the wet clothes had been worn on his body for too long, Chai Yu still had a high fever that night.

"Doctor, how is our wife?" After seeing that Lang Zhong's treatment was over, Li Nian hurriedly went up to ask.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm infected with wind and cold, I'll prescribe two pairs of medicines later, and you can take it on time according to the method given by the old man."

"Okay, thank you, doctor." After Li Nian sent the doctor out of Chai Yu's room, he said to the family at the door: "Come, you take the doctor to get the consultation fee, and then send the doctor to the medical hall to get the medicine back." ”

After giving orders, Li Nian turned around and returned to Chai Yu's room, seeing that Chai Yu was in great pain, Li Nian held her hand very distressed and said, "Madam, the doctor said that you are just infected with wind and cold, as long as you take medicine." But do you need to call the prince back? ”

"I've said it so many times, call me Sister Yu." Chai Yu said weakly: "Didn't the doctor say that it was just a cold wind, it's not a big deal, don't call him back, he has his own things to do." It's just that I have to trouble you to bring Ling'er these days. ”

"That's what I'm supposed to do, so don't talk too much and get some rest."

At the same time, due to the weather, Zhao Weiji and others were also blocked in the middle of the road and did not move forward for a long time.
