Chapter 182: The Illicit Salt Incident
After the durian explosion, the entire inn was closed for a long time, and there was a serious shortage of funds.
On the third day after the reopening, as a pony who often comes to eat at Tongfu Inn, I slapped my shoes on the table!
"Shopkeeper Tong! Come here! Pony shouted angrily.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's going on?" Tong Xiangyu heard the voice and hurriedly ran over and said to the pony.
"Shopkeeper Tong, tell me what this thing is!" The pony picked up a chicken leg and said to Tong Xiangyu.
"Is this a chicken leg? What's up, isn't it fresh? Tong Xiangyu said a little dazed.
"No, I ordered salt-baked chicken thighs, can you see that there is a little salt on these chicken thighs?!" Pony said, pointing to the chicken legs.
Tong Xiangyu took the chicken leg, then rubbed it with his fingers, and then licked his fingers, there was indeed no salty taste, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, in this way, your account will be settled today, what do you think?" ”
"Forget it, that's it, I'll go eat at another house." Pony said angrily and left the table.
Tong Xiangyu still had to accompany the smiling face in the back, "I'm sorry, I'll come back next time." ”
After the pony went out, Tong Xiangyu burst into flames, and went to the back kitchen with the plate of chicken legs.
"Lee's big mouth!" Tong Xiangyu shouted, and then directly killed Li Dazui, who was washing vegetables, and said to him with a chicken leg, "What is this!" ”
"Salt-baked chicken thighs..."Li Dazui said as he looked at the dish he had made.
"What about the salt? Where did the salt go? Guests have complained! The restaurant is going to be empty! Tong Xiangyu's whole person was in a hurry, and there was a little crying in it, this was finally reopened, and Li Dazui tossed it like this, isn't this a word of mouth.
"I just ran out of the last one I bought, and I'm waiting for someone to send it." Li Dazui explained.
"Aren't you going to go back and buy it yourself?" Tong Xiangyu continued to question.
"Official salt is too expensive, it's not cost-effective." Li Dazui said aggrievedly, isn't this also because the inn is running out of money.
"You still dare to buy illicit salt?!" Tong Xiangyu lowered her voice and said to him.
"Shh~~~" Li Dazui made a silent gesture, then ran to the window and looked out, there was no figure, and then turned to Tong Xiangyu and said, "Actually, it can't be regarded as private salt, it was dug by himself, and there is a background on his house." ”
"What's the background?" Tong Xiangyu asked curiously, the rules set by the government, this person has such a big background?
"You don't care about this, anyway, he doesn't know what I'm doing, shopkeeper, don't worry, nothing will happen." Li said comforting Tong Xiangyu in a low voice.
"Shopkeeper's~" At this time, a shout came from outside.
"Huh?" Tong Xiangyu responded, and then saw Bai Zhantang walking in with a big bag on his back.
"I'll tell you if something big happens." Bai Zhantang walked in breathlessly.
"What's wrong?"
"The money shopkeeper bought and sold illicit salt, and people were arrested." Bai Zhantang said to the two of them.
"Impossible!" Li Dazui was a little panicked, and he might be taken away.
"How is it impossible, I saw Zhenzhen'er, in the Fukelai Restaurant, the money shopkeeper was gnawing on the chicken legs, nibbling and shouting, salt? At this time, a kid came over, I guess he was selling illicit salt, and the two of them hadn't spoken yet, and they rushed over more than a dozen catchers to take down the two on the spot! Bai Zhantang said with emotion.
"How do you know that kid sells smuggled salt?" Tong Xiangyu asked.
Bai Zhantang said with an uncompetitive expression, "When he was arrested, he shouted to himself, I'm not private salt!" ”
"What about the old money?"
"He shouted, my chicken leg is too salty." Bai Zhantang said in the accent of the money shopkeeper.
"Does that kid have a big mole?" Li Dazui asked, pointing to his position in the middle of the person.
"That's right, there's a handful of hair on it." Bai Zhantang looked at Li Dazui and said, as if he didn't understand how he knew.
In an instant, Li Dazui's whole person was stunned, looking at his appearance, Bai Zhantang added, "Know?" ”
"Ahh No, no, I don't know, I haven't seen it. Li Dazui's voice became smaller and smaller, and at the same time, Tong Xiangyu also looked at him with uncompetitive eyes.
At this time, Jiao Wen also walked around the street to see the scenery or something.
Suddenly, I heard someone next to me discussing, "Do you know, the price of salt has risen again recently, and it has risen by a full 30%!" ”
"I know, but didn't I hear that there are people who sell illicit salt?"
"Be quiet!" The companion looked to the side, and then continued, "This morning, I caught a team of people who bought and sold illicit salt at the Fukelai Restaurant, and I heard that one of them is still the money shopkeeper of the pawnshop. ”
"Really, I said, today I watched the arrest of people everywhere and patrol the streets all day."
Jiao Wen pouted as he listened to it, it was really not easy in ancient times, buying a salt was a big expense, which is a modern one, two or three yuan and a big bag of salt, it can be used for a long time.
"Stop!" There was an angry shout from behind Jiao Wen, and then a man ran past him like a wind, and threw a jar into his hand.
Jiao Wen subconsciously held the jar and before he could react, several catchers quickly surrounded him.
"Hand over the stuff!" A catcher said quickly.
"What's that? You mean this? Jiao Wen blinked, and then gave the jar to the catcher.
At this time when he stretched out his hand, he grabbed his hand and quickly put the iron cuff on top of his hand.
Jiao Wen frowned and subconsciously struggled hard, and then the iron cuffs were instantly broken in half, "What do you mean by this?!" ”
Zhu Kuai looked at Jiao Wen's movements and the broken iron cuffs and swallowed his saliva, and stammered, "You... Suspected... Buy and sell illicit salt, please come with me..."
"Take a hammer, are you blind, this thing was thrown to me by the kid who ran away in front, you want to wronged me?" Jiao Wen said and chopped his foot, and a big spider web was stepped out of the entire ground.
"No, no, don't be angry, he's new and won't speak." An older catcher came over and started a round of fighting, "We just want to invite you to sit in the yamen and ask about this matter by the way." ”
"Just go to the Yamen, I'm in a bad mood now, I've been living in the Tongfu Inn recently, you can come there to find me if you have something, and there are these two iron rings for you to commemorate." Jiao Wen said and broke the iron ring on his wrist and threw it on the ground, then turned around and left.
Jia Zhu was about to catch up, but Lao Zhu quickly stopped him, "Don't bring the brothers with you if you are looking for death!" As far as that person's martial arts are concerned, we can't beat him by doubling it. ”
Jia Yu quickly shook his fist, and watched Jiao Wen leave unwillingly.
Jiao Wen is still angry when he returns to the Tongfu Inn, and he still dares to violently enforce the law against me these years? Looking for death, and that salt dealer is also tired and crooked, dare to frame your grandfather.
"What's wrong with you?" Bai Zhantang poured a glass of water and said to Jiao Wen.
"I was slandered by the salt dealer today, if I didn't know how to do martial arts, you would have to go to the yamen to pick me up." Jiao Wen drank the water in one gulp and said to Bai Zhantang.
"You're not going to be a rebel, are you? Hit the catcher? Then we have to get out of here. Bai Zhantang said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to catch fast, what I mean by martial arts means that I use martial arts to let these people talk to me well and be reasonable." Jiao Wen said.
After all, there is a good saying that reading is to be able to talk to fools calmly, and fitness is to let fools talk to you calmly.
"That's good, you said that this person who buys and sells illegal salt is really not a good person, next time I see one and report one." Bai Zhantang followed.
Jiao Wen nodded, but didn't reply, he was thinking about how to catch that damn salt dealer, but in this small place, there are really a lot of salt dealers.
Li Dazui squatted at the curtain in the backyard and listened to the words of the two of them, feeling his heart cold.
In the evening, Li Dazui sat at the big table with a cucumber, staring blankly at the front and not knowing what he was thinking.
"You have something to say!" Tong Xiangyu walked over with an oil lamp and said.
Li Dazui continued to be dazed, without any response.
Tong Xiangyu snatched the cucumber in his hand, "Don't eat it anymore!" What the hell is going to do here?! ”
"I'm not the shopkeeper, I know it." Li Dazui couldn't do it again at this time.
"You did this!" Tong Xiangyu said to him viciously, "The old money is still locked up in the prison!" ”
"I want to think about it..."Li Dazui said and picked up the cucumber in the bowl next to him, "I want to make a move..."
At this time, Yan Xiaoliu suddenly stood at the door.
Then Li Dazui shrank back in fright, and Tong Xiangyu subconsciously stepped forward and blocked between Li Dazui and Yan Xiaoliu.
Yan Xiaoliu slowly pointed at Li Dazui and said, "What, do you have anything to eat?" ”
Li Dazui was like riding a roller coaster at this time, and hurriedly took the remaining cucumbers in the bowl to Yan Xiaoliu, "Yes, yes, here." ”
Yan Xiaoliu took a cucumber and took a bite, and then said to Bai Zhantang, "What, is that Brother Wen here?" ”
"He's resting upstairs, what's the matter, you're looking for him?" Bai Zhantang looked at Yan Xiaoliu and said.
"No, no, no, it's okay, I'm just asking." Yan Xiaoliu probably also heard Jiao Wen's deeds, and was a little cowardly in the face of him, and then he continued, "This time, I mainly want to discuss something with the big guy." ”
Everyone gathered around to listen to him, "I caught a salt dealer today, everyone knows about it." ”
"Yes, yes..."
"Six Doors has been paying attention to him for a long time, and they haven't arrested him, just to find out the buyer behind the scenes." Yan Xiaoliu waved the cucumber and said.
"Haven't you already caught it?" Li Dazui said urgently, he is also one of the buyers.
"After our preliminary trial, we unanimously agreed that Boss Qian had nothing to do with this matter, so we let him go." Yan Xiaoliu continued.
"That's great news." Tong Xiangyu said beside him.
"The next thing is to dig out the buyers behind the scenes!" Yan Xiaoliu took a bite of the cucumber and said.
"What are you digging for?" Li Dazui asked worriedly.
"Dig boldly, dig hard, be careful..."Yan Xiaoliu said here, he found that Li Dazui next to him had been shaking, and then stopped and looked at him.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm wearing less clothes, and it's a little cold." Li Dazui said in defense.
"yes, he's got a cold." Tong Xiangyu echoed and said.
"The organization decided to send me over as an undercover agent." Yan Xiaoliu continued.
"Undercover?" *3
"That is, the private investigation of the microservice, during my undercover period, Lao Bai replaced me as the catcher."
"That's it! Why let me go! Bai Zhantang said with fried hair, isn't this a mouse turning into a cat?
"Excuse me, it's not your kung fu better, it's more than enough to be a fast catcher." Yan Xiaoliu said to Bai Zhantang.
"Then you can just bring the salt dealer over and let him recognize him." Bai Zhantang ran to his bed and said.
"You!" Li Dazui suddenly became excited, pointed at Bai Zhantang and said, and then reacted that Yan Xiaoliu was still there, and forcibly changed his words and said, "You really have a trick!" ”
"It's a pity, it's just a trick, this kid is already blind." Yan Xiaoliu said while eating cucumbers.
"What's the matter?" Li Dazui's mood suddenly improved a lot.
"When we caught him, he was arrested and blinded by our first arrow."
"Oh mom, it's really worthy of six doors, what, don't eat it first, I'll cook for you." Li Dazui picked up the cucumber and said to Yan Xiaoliu.
"What's that, Yan Zhutou, can I ask something?" Jiao Wen said as he walked down from upstairs.
"You, you, you say." Yan Xiaoliu was taken aback and said a little stammering.
"Did you catch the salt dealer later? The one who was framed? ”
"Not yet, that man is running too fast, and the people above are still catching him." Yan Xiaoliu said to Jiao Wen.
"What, where did he go?" Jiao Wen then asked.
"He made a big circle and ran all the way west after arriving at Zuojiazhuang." Yan Xiaoliu thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'm going to catch him!" Jiao Wen said and ran out of the inn directly and left a sentence, "Shopkeeper Tong, you keep the room for me, I will live tomorrow." ”
Before Tong Xiangyu could speak, Jiao Wen had already run away without a shadow.
"What, shopkeeper Tong, let's get back to business, this operation is extremely secret, codenamed Koudan." Yan Xiaoliu said to Tong Xiangyu.
"Why is it called a weak mouth?"
"Because my mouth is weak, I look for salt." After speaking, Yan Xiaoliu was about to go out, "That's right, let's just say it, I'll come over tomorrow to change my identity." ”
"Mom, I'm going to catch it quickly, what's the difference between this and a mouse turning into a cat." Bai Zhantang muttered behind him, looking incredulous.
Since he embarked on the road of the snitch, he never thought that he would be able to become a catcher one day, and become an existence that he used to avoid every day, and now the mood in his heart is really not known how to describe it, and he is still secretly happy while worrying.
