"Master Jiang is serious, Chen Yu is still young, and there are still many things that need to be asked by adults." Chen Yu also arched his hand and said, "Especially this time when someone in Huanxi Town stole official salt, I don't know how Lord Jiang tried it?" ”

Jiang Lang's face was serious, "Lord Hui, the case of stealing official salt has been concluded. ”

"Lord Jiang is really very efficient, this official thought that stealing official salt would take several months for such a major matter, but he didn't expect it to be so fast." Chen Yu's face was full of smiles, and his tone was also approachable.

"Your Excellency praised it."

Chen Yu turned around and walked around in place, "By the way, when the official came to the capital this time, someone in the imperial court asked the official, this salt has been in short supply recently, and the sale of illicit salt must be extremely serious, and he also specially asked the official to investigate, how long can the official salt of Chongtian Mansion be used by the people, after all, there has been no official salt for many times." ”

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at Jiang Lang, the fierce look in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and finally put on a smiling look and looked at Jiang Lang and said: "There are still people in this Huanxi Town who steal official salt, it seems that the salt of Chongtian Mansion is not to worry." ”

The sweat stains on Jiang Lang's forehead fell one after another, and his hands trembled slightly.

"Since you don't have to worry about the official salt, then Lord Jiang can take the official to see the official salt, the official always has to give a reply to the colleagues of the Jingshi, right?" After Chen Yu finished speaking, he took the lead and walked in front.

Jiang Lang was still stunned until Wu Bing pushed him, "Lord Jiang, let's go......"

……

Dongfang Yanhe hid in the crowd and saw Chen Yu walking in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes, just as he was about to turn around and leave, Chen Yu stood still in front of him for a while, pretending to glance at him casually, and there was an indelible surprise in his eyes.

After a brief pause, he continued on his way.

Sikong Yu pushed Dongfang Yanhe's arm, his eyes were full of envy, "You see that people are already servants at a young age, look at me again, alas, ......"

Dongfang Yanhe's eyes kept staring at Chen Yu and disappeared into the street, not noticing Sikong Yu's words at all.

Sikong Yu gave him another heavy push, "What's wrong with you, what the hell?" Let's not hurry up and find Xiaoqiu. ”

Dongfang Yanhe suddenly said, "Yes, yes, let's hurry up to Huang Xiaoqiu, maybe this matter can be handled today." ”

After the two finished speaking, they quickly disappeared around the corner.

……

When Chen Yu saw the bags of official salt, his eyes became a little puzzled.

He looked through the bags one after another, and finally dusted his hands and said with a casual look: "Are these all official salt assigned by the imperial court?" Is there any paperwork? Which salt works brought it from? ”

Jiang Lang's head was always lowered, and he didn't even dare to raise his mouth to speak.

"There are documents, but they are placed in the Chongtian Mansion, and the official did not bring them this time."

"This official heard Lord Wu say that this batch of official salt was granted to the Ma family by Lord Jiang for monopoly, right?" Chen Yu stared at Jiang Lang after speaking. 80

"That's right."

"Then the paperwork should be in Mafu, why don't we go to Mafu again?" After Chen Yu finished speaking, he prepared to leave.

Jiang Lang didn't follow, but half-bowed his body and said: "Because the Ma family failed to take good care of the official salt, the documents have been taken back by the official and sent back to Chongtian Mansion, because this official originally returned to Chongtian Mansion in a few days." ”

"Oh, that's ......," Chen Yu turned around and looked at the salt bags again.

"In fact, this dynasty is very strict with the management of official salt, and the bag of salt is usually stamped with the place of origin, and the level of official salt will be indicated on it, I don't know where Lord Jiang transported these official salts, how can they not even be stamped?" Chen Yu's hand ran across the salt bag.

"Because...... Because this salt was once stored in the warehouse of Mafu, how could the bag change, this official ...... The official really doesn't know very well......" Jiang Lang's voice stammered.

"Yes......" Chen Yu muttered.

Suddenly, there was a scolding as if it came from heaven, and all the people around the town knelt down.

"Bold Jiang Lang, how dare you lie in front of this management, do you know that stealing and selling smuggled salt is also a dead end?" Chen Yu said angrily.

"Xia Guan didn't steal and sell smuggled salt, I don't know how the adults could say that." Jiang Lang suddenly raised his head with a pale face and retorted.

Chen Yu's eyes were sharp, "Hmph, it's okay to deceive ordinary people with this kind of trick, if you want to deceive me Chen Yu, the tricks are a little more tender." ”

"Do you know what this official is doing this time?" Chen Yu asked again.

Jiang Lang shook his head lightly.

"Hmph, you have heard of the matter of stealing and selling smuggled salt in the imperial court, but there is no evidence, this official worked in the household department before being transferred to the ministry, and no one knows more about this official salt than this official," Chen Yu slapped heavily on the salt bag, "That's it, do you really think you can deceive me Chen Yu?" ”

"If the adult wants to add to the crime, the official will not accept it." Although Jiang Lang's heart was already trembling with fear, his mouth was not forgiving at all.

"Okay, then the official will convince you......"

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he took out a sharp dagger from the side of his boot, and then poked it into the salt bag, and immediately the salt in the bag was scattered all over the ground.

Chen Yu grabbed a handful of salt from the gap in the salt bag and held it up in front of Jiang Lang, "Lord Jiang, you can see clearly with your eyes open, there are a lot of impurities in these salts, and the color is also slightly white, the heaviest thing is this taste, don't you think it's a little weird?" ”

Jiang Lang turned his head and stopped looking at him, but he still muttered in his mouth: "This official doesn't understand, isn't this salt all the same?" ”

"Hahaha, Lord Jiang's own official doesn't know if you really don't understand or have been deceived, this is not sea salt at all, this is grass ash salt, people will hallucinate after eating it." Chen Yu threw the salt in his face and said unceremoniously, "Now that the coastal areas are experiencing floods, it is impossible for salt to rely on God to dry, so the yield of salt is much lower, and most importantly, because the salt is dried now, there will be a smell of smoking, this taste goes deep into the salt, and it can be removed at all, what about your official salt, there is no such taste at all, the official just walked into this warehouse and felt strange, and it was as the official expected." ”

"The salt of this official is saved from the past, and it is not the nearest sea salt at all." Jiang Lang continued to quibble.

Chen Yu sighed helplessly, shook his head lightly and said, "Lord Jiang, why do you continue to deny it, the people who provided you with salt have already been arrested, if there is no testimony from them, how can this official come here with Lord Wu to meet you in Huanxi Town?" ”
