"Lady, I'm hungry."

Here, Richie was drinking heartily. Suddenly, a voice came from the middle of the street, downwind.

This voice is so familiar!

Li Qi, who was already a little drunk, raised his eyes and looked over.

I saw Ji Jinyun and Wu Xu shrinking their heads, tightly wrapping their clothes, lowering their heads, and walking over from the other side of the street.

It was almost noon, and when I passed by this tavern, it was obviously the smell of food in the tavern that tickled Wu Xu's taste buds.

Although Wu Xu's feet did not stop, his eyes kept looking at the tavern. It is estimated that he really can't stand the temptation of the fragrance coming from the tavern, Wu Xu took a deep nose, and couldn't stop screaming at Ji Jinyun that he was hungry.

The aroma of the food, of course Ji Jinyun smelled it.

At noon, coupled with having walked such a long way, Ji Jinjun knew that Wu Xu must be really hungry.

Ji Jinyun turned her head to stare at Wu Xu, and pursed her lips and smiled.

"Wu Xu, are you really hungry?"

"Hmm." Hearing this, Wu Xu felt that there was a play, and nodded again and again.

"Cheng, then let's have some food here and then leave."

Ji Jinyun's eyes looked towards the place where the fragrance came from, a street tavern. A big sign with the word "wine" on the door flew up and down in the cold wind.

Even when Ji Jinyun was promoted to the imperial concubine, she would always go to the street shops in the capital to feel comfortable. What's more, Ji Jinyun has never been a particular person.

As soon as he stepped into the tavern door.

Although Li Qi was already a little drunk, when he saw Wu Xu and Ji Jinyun walking into the tavern, he quickly turned his head against the wall.

Since the last time the two of them were knocked off the roadside, Li Qi didn't want to meet them.

Let a sleeping dog lie.

Li Qi had more important things to do in Xishan, and he didn't want to delay his business here because of his grievances with Ji Jinyun.

"Yo, please come in, please come in."

The tavern owner, seeing that there was business, hurriedly came out of it and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Ji Jinyun led the way and strode into the tavern, not seeing Li Qi sitting by the door at all.

"Boss, let's just bring us two small dishes and get some food."

"Well, girl, you sit down first. I'll go and command the kitchen to prepare your meal. ”

The tavern owner wiped it on the stool with a clean towel, and after beckoning Ji Jinyun and Wu Xu to sit down, he raised his voice in response. He poured them tea with his hands and feet, and then he threw the towel over his shoulder, stepped back, and went to the kitchen with a shout.

Staring at the back of the tavern owner, Ji Jinyun grinned at the corners of her mouth.

It still feels good like this, and it smells of fireworks. Compared to the days in the Imperial City, it is simply not much more comfortable.

"I said, brother, didn't you just want to ask about the private salt? I'll tell you now, uh, tell you, uh......" Seeing that Li Qi had been burying his head, the Zhang family nursing home, reached out and patted Li Qi on the shoulder again, and said loudly.

This man, apparently, had drunk too much, and was still burping and shouting loudly.

Private salt, at this time, who dares to make such a loud noise.

Li Qi was also stunned for a while.

If this is seen by the people in the government, they may think that the three of them are a group. Originally, it was just to inquire, but you can't be careless, and the meat is not eaten and you will make a fuss.

Seeing that this man was still staggering and talking nonsense, as soon as Li Qi stretched out his hand, he ripped him off.

"Hi, it's true. I've heard that someone is selling it, and it's in our neighborhood county. Well, a lot. Uh......" A burst of wine came out of the person's mouth. The conversation opened in his mouth, and he couldn't stop.

Illicit salt?

Ji Jinyun, who was sitting on the side, heard these two words, and was even more secretly frightened than Li Qi in his heart.

West Hill neighboring counties?

The more she listened, the more Ji Jinyun felt as if she was talking about her mountain salt.

Not daring to be too nervous, Ji Jinyun slowly looked over with her head.

At the door, there were three strong men, who seemed to have drunk a lot, and the one who stood up and spoke, his body was shaking, his mouth was slurred, and he shouted loudly.

The weather is cold, the business of the tavern is not very good, and there are only a few people sitting in the lobby. The man's loud noise had apparently attracted everyone's attention.

Seeing the eyes of the people in the tavern, Li Qi was a little anxious, and dragged the person down with force, pressing his palm on the bench.

The man didn't seem to be happy yet, and tried to get up, but he struggled several times, but he couldn't do it.

You must know that at this time, Li Qi was afraid that this person's nonsense would harm himself and mislead the affairs of the third prince, but he used internal strength, how could he be the opponent of the prince's personal entourage.

"Come on, brother, let's have a drink."

Li Qi picked up the wine glass and raised it at the man.

At the sight of the wine glass, the man's eyes lit up. "Hehe" smiled, took Richie's wine glass, and drank it all. After drinking, he turned the bottom of his wine glass to the sky, and began to smile "hehe" again at Li Qi.

Seeing this, Li Qi hurriedly picked up the flask on the table and poured him another full glass.

The wine was poured cup by cup, and this man did not make as much noise as he had just now.

Li Qi was quiet here, and Ji Jinyun, who was sitting on the side, was really up and down in his heart at this time. His face has also become much calmer.

In several neighboring counties, salt is sold, and the news has spread to Xishan County. Could it be that the matter of mountain salt leaked the rumors? Or, the salt sold in Linxian is not mountain salt, but other private salt?

That's not right.

The last time the workers who went to Linxian to sell salt came back, they had never heard of any other illegal salt being sold. Otherwise, why would their mountain salt be so popular.

If that's the case, there's only one possibility.

Thinking of this, the look on Ji Jinyun's face became more and more solemn.

"Girl, here you are. Your meals. Use it slowly. ”

A loud voice came over.

Ji Jinyun was thinking about it, and she was shocked back to her senses at once. When I looked up, I saw that it was the tavern owner who had arrived with the food.

"Come on, girl, eat while it's hot. This hellish weather is also cold. The tavern owner put the food on the table and greeted Ji Jinyun warmly.

The two simple dishes, plus two large bowls of white rice, are steaming and fragrant, making people forget the cold and instantly warm up.

"Lady, I'm hungry."

Sure enough, it was a foodie, and as soon as the meal was put down, Wu Xu shouted. A pair of eyes, staring at the pieces of meat on the plate, were about to fall on the table.

When the tavern owner saw it, he also smiled and said to Wu Xu: "This little brother must be really hungry." Eat quickly, eat quickly, and when you are full, you will not be cold. After speaking, he looked up and looked outside, and whispered to himself.

The voice was a little small, and Ji Jinyun didn't hear what the tavern owner said.
