The entrance to the cave was not high, and it was only about six feet wide and narrow, but a stone protruded horizontally from the low part on the right side, and in fact it was only three feet wide and narrow.

The ground was full of broken branches and rotten leaves, and it was very soft to step on, Hua Yunfei squatted down and observed carefully for a while, and then quietly touched into the hole. As soon as he entered the cave, he smelled the subtle smoke and fireworks, and Hua Yunfei was even more sure that the two people had entered this cave.

He walked in the dark for a while, and the road in the cave was winding and uneven, but the space gradually widened. The glimmer of the cavern no longer works here. Hua Yunfei didn't have the ability to see at night, so he couldn't move forward, but he didn't have to move forward either, because he had already heard the faint voices of the two people inside.

"Isn't this good, I'll just say, this kind of place, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, how can he find it, the big boss is too careful."

"Anyway, there are too many people who know this place, let's move all the things out, dig a pit near the left and bury it, and cover it with grass and trees, hey! Hey hey ......"

"Well, when it's dealt with properly, I'll go and report the safety of the big boss and see how his official mansion ends."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Hua Yunfei smiled slightly, like a cat, and stepped back lightly. The heart of being a thief is weak, if Chang Zizi is calm enough, how can Ye Xiaotian's beating make him mess up. But Ye Xiaotian was so resolute, how could Chang Zizi not suspect that he had taken the handle.

Hua Yunfei retreated to the mountain, found the two patrols, and ordered one of them to take Ye Xiaotian's hand to the post station to transfer troops. Zhao Wen was far away from the post station, and the deputy of the post station saw that it was Ye Xiancheng's handwriting, and knew that his own post master and Ye Xiancheng had always been in good faith, so he immediately ordered thirty post guards, brought weapons, and told the catcher to take them away.

There was a lot of stock in the cave, and it was obvious that the smuggled goods that were continuously transported from the south were stuck by Ye Xiaotian due to the northbound exit. So much so that they are all piled up here. Ivory, rhino horn, seashell, coral, hawksbill turtle......

Most of the small goods that are easy to carry are gone, and what is left behind are large things that are not easy to hide and carry, such as ivory and coral, which are difficult for both of them to carry.

There is a shallow ditch on the nearby hillside, which is naturally washed by the rain, Sun Rui and Shi Jin are only two people, obviously they don't have the spare energy to dig a big pit by themselves, so they chose here.

With so much money, the two of them were sweating profusely. I also have hot eyes. However, these bulky goods, they have no way to transport them through many barriers, nor can they find a way to sell them, and they cannot turn them into money, which is meaningless to them.

The two of them were like two industrious little bees, carrying things out one by one, seeing that the things were almost finished, and when they were already tired and sweating, dozens of soldiers holding bamboo guns and embroidering the "Yi" number on their chests suddenly appeared next to them.

Sun Rui and Shi Jin held the front teeth of a mammoth. Dumbfounded, he stood there. This mammoth ivory is much larger than ordinary ivory, commonly known as 10,000-year-old ivory, because it has become a fossil, so it is found in the ancient ivory. Only a little more than 10% have jewelry value. Naturally, the price is much more expensive than ordinary ivory.

Hua Yunfei walked out with a smile and said to the two: "Be careful, don't break it, this thing." I can't afford to sell both of you! ”

Zhou Bantou has been guarding the checkpoint for many days, and this is the tax card set up by the Huxian County Tax Department at the exit gate at the northern end of Huxian County. The terrain here is also extremely dangerous, with lofty mountains standing on both sides. This is the only way to go.

During the war years, this was a fortress with one husband as a pass, you just had a million male soldiers, and you couldn't arrange it outside this pass, and if you wanted to attack hard, the losses were incalculable. Such dangerous passes can be seen everywhere in Guizhou, which is why the dynasty invariably chose to appease the local Tusi with a restrained strategy.

Originally, it was just a tax card, but now there is a shift headed by the head of the weekly team, who is only responsible for checking the trucks that have exited the customs.

Even so, they had to do so many tests every day that they were exhausted. However, today, everyone is in good spirits, and the tax collectors of the tax department are also holding their heads up and in good spirits, which is completely different from the weather in the past.

They have already received news that several senior officials of the Tax Department and even Chen Muyan, the ambassador of the Tax Department, have been arrested by Ye Xiancheng. For the fast catchers under Zhou Bantou, this means that their hard work is about to come to an end, and they are naturally excited.

And for the tax collectors of the Tax Division, in addition to making them feel awe-inspiring because of Ye Xiancheng's attack on their top boss, it is also a great opportunity, and it is this opportunity that makes them cheer up.

Several of the heads of the tax department have been arrested. Among these people, except for the post of tax ambassador, who was appointed by the superiors, the other official positions were appointed by the county. Those tax stewards were arrested, and they had a chance to take office. Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and the misfortunes of others are their blessings.

"Alright, okay, you can go over. Come here, oh! It's a basket of eggs, okay, a penny of taxes, thrown in that basket. Okay, you can go too, the mountain road is difficult to walk, you are old, you have to be careful. ”

Not only did the tax collectors do things a lot more quickly, but their attitudes also became kinder, which made the people in the past a little uncomfortable.

"You, take it out and take a look. Just you have one person and one donkey? The burden is opened, okay, pay the tax and pass the customs. But from here to the next town, the road in the middle is quite long, you better wait for the merchants over there, say good things, and go with them, or you will run into robbers on the way, hehe......"

"Hehe, thank you for mentioning it, it's so poor that those robbers who cut the path and rob the road are not eye-catching."

It was a middle-aged man who spoke, tall and thin, with a slender melon face, two mustaches, and two brown clothes, except for the skinny donkey, and he really couldn't find anything of value on his body. The tax collector waved his hand, and the middle-aged man led the donkey out of the checkpoint.

On the other side, a long convoy was waiting for the catchers under Zhou Bantou to check one by one, and several cargo owners gathered at the door, basking in the sun while killing time. "Whoa! The guest who walked the foot looked like the shopkeeper Hu! ”

One of the shippers accidentally saw a pedestrian who had just walked out of the checkpoint with a donkey, and couldn't help but be surprised to a few people next to him. Those people turned their heads to look at the donkey guest, and one of the cargo owners smiled: "You are talking about Hu Qifeng Hu Dongzhu, right?" Not to mention, it's kind of like that. ”

They just talk about it, but they don't take it to heart. Hu Dongzhu is a famous businessman, with countless entourages in and out, how can he be so light and simple to follow ......, this person doesn't even have a car, and the entourage is not one, and at a glance it is a very shabby passerby.

Besides, although this person is born like Hu Dongzhu. But there is still a big difference, the most obvious thing is that Hu Dongzhu has three locks of long hair, but the person in front of him has two eight-character beards. A few shippers didn't think much about it, chatted casually, and then brought up the topic of which fan head was the best at serving men in Antler Town, which they were about to arrive.

Hua Yunfei took thirty post guards, escorted Sun Rui and Shi Jin, and used two stagecoaches to carry the seized stolen goods, and rushed back to the Huxian County Office. People are stolen and seized. Hua Zhixian's courage suddenly became bigger, and he couldn't wait to order the promotion of the court, and he wanted to ask the case in person.

Faced with undeniable incriminating evidence, Sun Rui and Shi Jin actually denied it. Can be under Miki. Why not? Sun Rui and Shi Jin are not big heroes with great righteousness and unparalleled integrity, they have passed the board, and when the hammer is clamped on the ten fingers, they finally can't hold it anymore.

Clip a clip. The officials on both sides pulled hard, and Sun Rui and Shi Jin cried wolf: "Recruited!" Recruited! The big man, the villain...... Recruited! ”

Hua Qingfeng sneered. Said: "Toast without eating and drinking, come on!" Recording! ”

Sun Rui and Shi Jin began to confess with tears in their eyes, Qi Mu was originally engaged in the business of selling smuggling, at that time he was running north and south with a few outlaws, carrying a few pieces of goods and goods to earn the difference, and then saved a sum of money in hand, so he drove a horse and started a serious business.

About five or six years ago, the two Tusi of Huling fought because of the land dispute, and the imperial court took the opportunity to send troops to destroy them, changed Huling into Huxian County, and set up the rule of liuguan, and several big carriages and horses on the post road also entered the Warring States Period. Qi Muxin is black-handed, stands out in the life-and-death competition, and finally dominates the Huxian Post Road.

At this time, someone found Qi Mu and took the initiative to negotiate the ban on smuggling and trafficking, Qi Mu was suffering from not making too much money by relying on the carriage and horse dealership alone, and the cost of supporting a large number of subordinates was also large, so he simply returned to his old business, but in the past, he was going over the mountains and mountains, carrying some small business on his shoulders, and now under the cover of carriages and horses, the business has expanded more than 100 times, and this time, his property has swelled rapidly like a snowball, and he has become the richest man in Hu County.

After Qi Mu's death, the second master also disappeared inexplicably, and Chang Zizi, who was originally in charge of this piece, set up his own door. Relying on the purchase channels and sales channels controlled by him, he can still stand.

Sun Rui and Shi Jin also confessed that their trafficking of illicit goods was a one-on-one one-line contact, and the upper family was arranged by the Tiger Pass Pass, and they were only responsible for the transportation and safety of this section, while the next family was handed over to the big merchant Jia Huqifeng, who sold them to the Central Plains.

When Qi Mu was there, he once thought about going over the upper and lower families and getting in touch with the Nanyang countries directly, and as for the sale of goods, he also wanted to cross so many intermediate links, so that the benefits he earned from it would be more than ten times greater. But before this idea could be implemented, he died.

After Qi Mu's death, Chang's carriage and horse shop accepted Zhao Yicheng's solicitation and took refuge in Zhao Yicheng's door, but the sale of wealth and sales was always in Chang Zizi's hands, and Zhao Wenyuan did not know about it.

Hua Qingfeng got a detailed confession, and couldn't help but gasp: Laohuguan, Chang's Carriage and Horse Shop, Huxian Tax Division, Hu's Commercial Bank, and the collusion between officials and businessmen, such a strict smuggling gang is really a shocking case. This case was dug all the way down the post road, and I don't know how many silverfish were going to be dug up, which is a great achievement. Hua Qingfeng suppressed her excitement, and immediately placed a card ticket and ordered someone to detain the merchant Jia Hu Qifeng to the case!

:Sincerely ask for monthly passes, recommended tickets!.
