Hearing the name Wang Qinian, Li You was slightly stunned, he thought that this person had gone home to plant sweet potatoes, but he didn't expect that he was still struggling tenaciously and did not quit.

In fact, Wang Qinian and most people have no real hatred, and everyone scolds him out of moral justice and scolds him, making him famous, and there is no need or motivation to carry out the action of his actual surname, just waiting for him to take the initiative to resign.

If Wang Qinian really has the surname of spitting and doing his own thing, he can indeed hold on to his death and not resign, just like Li You was besieged some time ago and could pile up the grave with a bullet stamp, but he resolutely refused to resign.

Wenxuan Si Zuo Langzhong mentioned Wang Qinian, of course, he didn't really want Li You to be responsible, he was just a joke. "Such a despicable person shall not be given an official position from this official if he says anything!"

Li You improvised a poem: "Insist that the black yarn is not relaxed, the roots are in the broken shoes, and the thousands of chisels are still strong, and the southeast and northwest wind are resigned!" ”

Zuo Bulang laughed and said continuously: "Li Zhongshu is sour and interesting!" ”

But Li You suddenly found that Wang Qinian's behavior seemed to be a little similar to himself, and he felt a little sympathetic. So... Wang Qinian must receive a boxed lunch, because he Li You is Wang Qinian's enemy.

Recalling that the former royal history of the king secretly rebelled against the water and took refuge in the palace, and wanted to quietly provoke himself and Peng Ge Lao to lose both of them, this combination of punches is actually quite connotative, but evil does not prevail over good, and the ghost trick was resolved by his own dignified righteousness.

Thinking of the Cheng family's case from Wang Qinian, Li You had a heart disease that came up. Although it is not easy to coordinate the relationship between the palace and the foreign courts, it is all a matter of the future, and at the moment there is a hidden danger that needs to be eliminated urgently.

Guide Chitose said that the Empress Dowager's brother Xin Ninghou was implicated in the case. If this matter leaks out, it will make Xin Ninghou unhappy, and he is afraid that he will hate Li You, although Li You, the person who lifted the lid, did not mean it.

Will Wang Qinian, who knows about this, deliberately release the wind to trap himself? Li You didn't dare to guarantee it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it would be convenient to have an edict from Dongchang or something this year, the best tool to deal with officials like Wang Qinian. Of course, this rebellious idea is just thinking about it, and naturally it will not be said in front of civil officials.

However, Li You comforted himself that maybe it wouldn't be as fatal as he was worried, and that groundless wind could only be groundless. If it was just a trivial matter that didn't hurt to Xin Ninghou, then he didn't deserve to hate himself.

After a few more chats, he said goodbye to Zuo Langzhong, and Li You and Wang Shi stepped out of the ministry. But I saw that the house next door to the south was crowded, and dozens of people gathered outside the door, I don't know what they were doing.

Li You's entourage Han Zong, who brought him today, has been waiting outside the official department, and he has already gone to see the excitement just now. Then he reported to the old man: "There are all salt merchants over there, and I don't know what leopard gall they have eaten. ”

"What caused this?" Li You said curiously, there must be some opportunity or fuse for such a gathering of people.

Han Zong replied: "I have inquired a little, and I heard that the Cheng family's unjust case was published in the newspaper of the former palace, and these salt merchants were probably sad that the rabbit died and the fox died, and they came to the household department to make a fuss in anger. It is necessary for the imperial court to stop indiscriminately rewarding salt and quotations. Otherwise, they will call on their peers to abolish Kaizhong next year and refuse to send money and grain to the imperial court. ”

This is a national matter... Li Zhongshu was shocked.

Whether the salt merchants transported grain to the border or tuntian on the border, as long as they provided rations to the border army, they could exchange it for salt, and then they could take the salt to the designated salt field to support salt. Naturally, this opening of China and France was to ensure the supply of military rations to the barren frontiers.

In the past 300 years, the system has undergone several changes, and now the implementation is the parallel of money and grain, and the salt merchants can transport grain to the border in exchange for salt, or they can directly transport silver to the salt transportation department at a higher price in exchange for salt. All in all, a large part of the food of the frontier army and the treasury of the imperial court came from the salt industry.

As mentioned above, salt quotation is not only in the hands of salt merchants, but also in the hands of many powerful people like Xinninghou, and most of them are rewards directly from the imperial court in various names. After all, hard silver is not easy to change, but salt can always be printed casually like paper money... Although salt can be regarded as a commodity, it can only be considered a hard currency when it is actually in your hands. It is naturally more convenient for the powerful to go to the salt field to support salt, which is naturally more convenient than the salt merchants. In recent years, under the indiscriminate reward of the imperial court, the salt of the powerful has been too much, and the salt merchants who are not hard have to wait in the back, and the salt in their hands seems to be unable to collect the IOUs for a long time. The Cheng family, who was very unconvinced by this, was unlucky in this way.

Now this problem, which has accumulated for many years, has finally erupted with the Cheng family's unjust case as the fuse. If the resentful salt merchants shook their hands together, or slacked off their work, then the consequences would be obvious, and the shortage of the treasury was a trivial matter, but there would be a big problem with the food of the border army.

The border army can't eat, and even a three-year-old child knows the seriousness of the matter... Who copied this newspaper, and why was it so rash? Trigger the salt merchants to scratch, the general secretary should be damned! Li Zhongshu, who is a member of the Ming ruling class, said in his belly.

But Mr. Li, who said that he was worried about the country and the people, thought about himself, and suddenly thought of something, and his tiger body shook violently, increased his forehead with his hand, turned his head and left.

Wang Shi inexplicably followed closely and asked, "Where are you going?" I was told to do the wine..."

Li You didn't look back, and said domineeringly: "Come with me!" Go rob the woman! ”

Wang Shi didn't know how many times he was surprised by Li You, how could such a sentence suddenly come out? As far as he knew, it seemed that Li You never had to rob a woman. It seems that the proposition of changing people's surnames in the feng shui of the capital can be conclusive... Wang Shi also brought his entourage. When he heard Lord Li's astonishing words, he almost bowed to the ground, as a house slave with such a master, he lived up to his life's ambitions! Not having the opportunity to be an accomplice on the occasion of bullying men and women is simply the biggest flaw in the career of a domestic slave, and today I finally have the opportunity to show my strengths at the feet of the Son of Heaven?

However, it was said that the master and servant of the Wang family had their own thoughts, and turned left and right with Li Zhongshu, and after about half an hour, they entered an alley and got off the sedan chair and walked.

Wang Shi looked carefully, the pavilions on both sides were lined with red and hung colors, and there was occasionally the sound of orchestral flutes and drums, and he woke up in his heart, "Could it be here..."

"The alley of the head of the sect!"

At this time, there is less foot traffic on the street, so the pace of movement of the group is fast. Turning into a courtyard again, a gatekeeper Wangba came up to speak, but was easily pushed aside by Han Zong, who was full of strength.

Li You went straight to the left wing room and shouted outside the door: "Is the little lady of the Cheng family inside?" ”

It turned out that this was the residence of Cheng Saiyu, who Li You had visited. A few days ago, after the Cheng family's unjust case was judged, Cheng Xiaoniang should be able to leave her nationality and resume her status as a good family, Li You estimates that she has not had time to move out yet, and she will still live here.

With a squeak, the door opened from the inside, revealing a delicate, tender and delicate, flower-like fresh little lady, who is not Miss Cheng?

Wang Shi cheered in his heart, the woman Li Zhongshu saw in his eyes, there is really no mediocrity, can such a fireworks place like the Jiaofang Division actually breed such a pure character?

Han Zong scolded Wu Badao softly: "My master is here, you stay away!" ”

The Wang family followed the uncle, but they were gearing up, so they could only give an order from the master of the Li family.

Cheng Xiaoniang raised her eyes and saw that it was Li You, showing a little joy, and hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, "The slave family is waiting for my father to come back to visit Master Li together, I don't want the master to drive in person, please take a seat." ”

Li You was not polite, sat down and asked, "Why are you visiting me?" ”

"Thank you, of course."

Li You smiled and said, "How to thank the law?" ”

Cheng Xiaoniang asked innocently: "The slave family hasn't thought about it yet, what does Master Li think?" ”

Li You carefully looked at the beauty in front of him, his eyes were like substance, and he couldn't hide it, so he couldn't help but fall his head shallowly, his eyebrows lowered, and he looked at his little toes and didn't move. "Master, I am alone in Beijing, and it is inconvenient to live, how about the lady to make a promise? Although it is small, it will never lose you. ”

Hearing this, Miss Cheng clenched her fists and mustered up all the courage to reply: "Master Li has blue eyes, and the slave family really can't repay him." But the slave family has a place to belong, and there is nothing else to think about. ”

"Who! Wang Qinian? Li You asked.

Cheng Xiaoniang nodded lightly, "Yes." In the past, the slave family had talked about marriage with the brother of the Wang family, and the two hearts were happy, although they failed to succeed due to the accident, but the heavens were pitiful, and the slave family still had a good conscience, how could a loyal and good woman change her mind at will? What's more, in order to save my Cheng family this time, he even lost his official position, and the slave family should not be disappointed. ”

Li You couldn't help but raise his voice: "It was the official palace who saved your Cheng family!" What is the relationship with Wang Qinian? ”

Cheng Xiaoniang flinched for a moment and replied: "If it weren't for the brother of the Wang family to tell you about it, he wouldn't have lost his position..."

Miss Cheng's words really don't have any problem logically, Wang Qinian is indeed the official who lost because he told Li You about the Cheng family, but what's wrong?

Li You found that his sharp teeth were useless in front of this little lady. had to come up with another set of rhetoric, "He is like a lost dog now, and it is not easy for you to follow her, so why bother!" ”

After finishing speaking, what caught his eye was a small face that turned into a resolute demeanor, and his pink fist was still clenched tightly, "A loyal and good woman, you can't change your mind when your husband's family is poor, you should be consistent!" ”

The little lady knelt on the ground again and said: "Master Li is kind, there is no way to repay it, and half of the remaining salt can be offered." Also, if you recognize the old man as a brother, I am afraid that I will insult the identity of the master, and I am willing to do things with my father! ”

Li You frowned and was silent, his head was extremely big. Today I finally saw the brainwashing power of the arch of chastity in feudal society, do you really want to be rude?

But when he saw Wang Shi at the door, he was very moved and shed a few tears. "Out of the mud without staining, there will be fragrant grass within ten steps, Shixinfu! Unexpectedly, such a chaste martyr is hidden in the prostitution, why doesn't Lord Li be beautiful and achieve a good story? ”

"Shut up!" Li You hurriedly stopped, and said to Han Zong outside the door: "Go and call Qin Sile here!" ”

This Miss Cheng, Li Youna is bound to win. Because she is the key figure in the Cheng family's unjust case... And the Cheng family's unjust case is the fuse of the imminent outbreak of the salt merchant trend, and it may also be the fuse that detonates the hidden danger of Xinninghou. No matter what the purpose, for this beautiful little lady and the salt in her hand, Li Zhongshu has taken over!

Besides, what's the good thing about following Wang Qinian, a wrecked ship that is about to sink, or following Li Zhongshu is responsible for life.
