Chapter 268: Can't Help
Where they can't see, there will be many such cases.
Those people wanted the people to force the emperor to change his mind.
I can't see this matter yet, but I'm waiting, this outbreak will force the emperor to be unable to suppress it.
"This reward you, let the kitchen serve the food quickly," Shi Minyao saw that Gu Jingxuan didn't ask, took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, and threw it directly, after Xiao Er caught it in a panic, he grinned happily: "The little one thanked the son, and the little one will go immediately,"
After Xiao Er left, the atmosphere became solemn.
The people who went out with Gu Jingxuan, except for Shi Min'an, everyone only knew that the task Gu Jingxuan got this time was related to salt, but they didn't expect that not long after leaving the capital, this matter would be so serious.
Ah Wu came back halfway through the meal, with a serious face.
"Master, my subordinates have heard that the salt in several surrounding towns has been controlled, not only the people can't buy it, but even the rich people can't buy it, and the people are complaining, and the yamen here deliberately concealed this matter and didn't tell the truth," Ah Wu's last sentence was the most critical.
Shi Minyao pondered for a while and said: "Those officials should have been bribed, and then wait for the matter to break out, and directly give the imperial court a big impact,"
Gu Jingxuan nodded, but he was thinking about what he should do.
After Ah Wu finished speaking, Gu Jingxuan asked him to go to dinner first, and they needed to discuss the rest of the matter before they could solve it.
After everyone finished eating, they went back to the room, Gu Jingxuan called Shi Minyao, Qi Bai, and Shi Minxian together, and then told them about their appointments and things to do, so that they could understand how difficult this matter would be.
"Then can we help with the matter here?" Qi Bai asked very bluntly.
Gu Jingxuan pondered for a moment and said: "This is not involved in official salt, private salt is the main, directly attack the capital, I can help, but our whereabouts will be exposed, not to mention the pursuit of all parties, and it will also sabotage our plan to go to the south,"
"Moreover, I also missed the horror of letting the emperor perceive the control of the people by private salt,"
So, no matter how you measure it, they don't dare to make a move.
Everyone was silent, because in this way, the surrounding people became victims of the game between the court and the family.
"Rest early at night and leave early tomorrow," if you can't see, your heart won't be so soft.
The joy on everyone's faces was gone, and they obviously couldn't accept such a result.
There are so many people who have no salt to eat, which makes people feel terrible when they think about it.
But the stakes are so high, none of them dare to open their mouths easily, and let Gu Jingxuan help those people......
Everyone left heavily and went back to their rooms to rest.
"I thought that after leaving the capital, there would be no longer that feeling of being forced to do nothing, but I didn't expect that just leaving the capital made me feel helpless again, "They can help, but they can't help."
It's a maddening feeling.
"Human life is like a mustard, whether it is the superior or those wealthy families, they are eating the flesh and blood of the people, only the superior is honest and honest, can change the lives of the people, so that they will not be easily controlled, understand?" This is what he has been committed to changing since he returned.
Shi Min'an knew that in terms of the overall situation, he was still not as good as Gu Jingxuan.
"Why did you choose Zhao Muyuan? How do you know he's going to promise you to do that? She asked, confused.
