Chapter 335 - Carrying his head and doing things
"Daughter-in-law Wuxu, we haven't encountered this thing in Wudu County, but I don't know if they have encountered the situation you said."
After a long silence, someone finally spoke. It's just that as soon as his words were finished, they immediately attracted a burst of responses.
"No, no, Wu Xu's daughter-in-law, we haven't met before."
"yes, we don't think we have either."
Immediately, in this cave, it was like a frying pan, and the sounds of one after another, and the echoes of the whole cave, resounded throughout the cave.
Everyone's denial made Ji Jinyun breathe a sigh of relief. But immediately, the discussion in the county tavern churned out in Ji Jinyun's mind again.
"Then, how could someone say outside that there are signs of illicit salt trafficking in several counties near Xishan. Is it true that when you sell salt there, there are other smuggled salts for sale? ”
Ji Jinyun must figure out this question.
"This, where would we know? Think about it, daughter-in-law Wu, let's go out to sell salt this time, it's all doing with our heads. No one is all quiet. To tell the truth, this time we sold salt, we didn't go into the county at all, and we sold it in the village. The poor people are one by one, as long as there is cheap and good salt to sell, they don't all have to rush to the top. Besides, let's all think like this, and other people who really sell salt won't let us know. ”
Ji Jinyun listened to the words of the horse boss, and nodded frequently, thinking that what he said was also very reasonable.
That's weird.
Ji Jinyun was confused and completely blinded.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
Wu Xiaoqi's shout finally shocked Ji Jinyun.
"Sister-in-law, you see that these people have also been running around outside for several days, all thinking about going home early. If you don't have anything else here, then I'll let them go home. They've all pushed me several times. ”
Wu Xiaoqi saw that Ji Jinyun didn't speak for a long time, and tentatively said what everyone meant.
Anyway, I couldn't ask what was going on in front of me, Ji Jinyun thought about it, and simply asked Wu Xiaoqi to settle the account for these people and let them go back.
However, before leaving, Ji Jinyun specially told those workers again, telling them to keep the secret of the mountain salt cave, and after returning home, they couldn't even mention half a word in the cave.
If someone asks, they will say that the ancestral grave of Ji Jinyun's family has not been found.
Otherwise, if you lose your life, don't go to her Ji Jinyun.
Ji Jinyun said so solemnly, everyone thought that they were promised. Then, they started to go home. In a short time, the workers had already dispersed. In the silent cave, there are only three people left: Wu Xu, Wu Xiaoqi and Ji Jinyun.
"Sister-in-law, is this situation serious? Look at the worry on your face. Is it that our sale of mountain salt has been exposed, or is it ......? ”
Wu Xiaoqi tried his best to guess, thinking of any possibility in his stomach.
With his hands behind his back, Ji Jinyun lowered his head and walked back and forth in the cave several times. Stand still, looking at the cave wall, not knowing what is going on in your head.
Suddenly, Ji Jinyun didn't know what to think, and walked to the big stone where the workers had sat just now, and sat down.
"Wu Xiaoqi, what do you think of this. Now there are rumors of illicit salt sales in Xishan County. Although it is not explicitly said that it is us. But it's always good to be ahead of the curve. If the matter of mountain salt is really known, how serious the consequences are, I won't say it, you also understand. ”
Wu Xiaoqi didn't make a sound immediately, walked around the cave a few times, and then, like Ji Jinyun, found a big stone and sat down.
With his head down and his hand knocked on the stone several times, Wu Xiaoqi raised his head and looked at Wu Xu's side.
"Sister-in-law, I look at this, you don't have to be too nervous, the rumors in the county town don't say that it's our mountain salt. Besides, these people who went out were all old and young, how dare they take out such a big thing and talk nonsense. Let's see in a few days. ”
Wu Xiaoqi's words, Ji Jinyun also groaned in her heart when she heard it, and felt that his words were not unreasonable.
After thinking about it, Ji Jinyun jumped down from the stone, stood next to Wu Xiaoqi, and said with a smile: "Cheng, what you say is reasonable, I'll go home and think about it first." Wu Xiaoqi, this matter is not trivial, you still go and say hello to them one by one, and you must not make a noise. ”
Seeing that Wu Xiaoqi nodded solemnly, Ji Jinyun felt a little relieved, turned her head and shouted: "Wu Xu, let's go." ”
"Hmm"
Wu Xu answered loudly, turned around and walked out.
Where he was standing just now, near the entrance of the cave, Wu Xu turned around and walked in front of Ji Jinyun.
"Wu Xiaoqi, you have to remember what I said, don't be careless." When Ji Jinyun raised her legs, she turned her head again uneasily, and instructed Wu Xiaoqi.
Wu Xiaoqi nodded heavily.
"Sister-in-law......" Wu Xiaoqi just opened his mouth and was about to say something, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a figure running in quickly from outside the hole, and quickly stopped his mouth.
Soon, the figure had already run over and stopped.
It turned out to be the same horse boss.
It may be that he was running a little hurriedly, and after the horse boss stood still, he was out of breath. Bent over, holding his knees with his hands, it took a long time to raise his head, look at Ji Jinyun, and finally speak.
"Daughter-in-law Wuxu, I have walked a long way just now, and suddenly remembered that when I was selling salt in a village in Wudu County, it was time for lunch that day, and the family was not in the village or behind the store, and a few of us ate in that house, and for this, we also sent an extra half a catty of salt. They asked me where I was from, alas, and blamed me, I was happy for a while, drank a few glasses, and quickly said that we are from Xishan County. And it's our own salt mine. I don't know, is this in the way? ”
"What do you say?"
Boss Ma's words scared Ji Jinyun a lot, and he was a little flustered in his words, staring at Boss Ma with wide eyes.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Daughter-in-law Wu, I also drank two glasses, and my brain was dizzy. I'm usually tight-lipped. ”
Ji Jinyun's expression made Boss Ma look at a loss. apologized again and again, his face full of apologies.
Wu Xiaoqi, who was standing on the side, was also frightened at the moment.
If these news are spread, then the matter of this mountain salt cave will be known by the government, but it will be sooner or later.
"Boss Ma, why are you so confused! When I went out, I told you again and again that you must not leak half of the matter of the mountain salt cave. You are good, not only said our salt mine, but also said the location of Xishan County. Let me say what you are doing! You ......."
Wu Xiaoqi didn't care about Ji Jinyun also standing here, and roared one after another, scolding the fierce color.
