Two days later, Shen Chunyun came to Shenjia Village in a hurry.

It's just that Shen Chunyun didn't say hello this time, and came in a hurry.

"Little aunt, what's going on at home?" Shen Tuantuan welcomed people in, originally she made an appointment with Niu Hongmei and Sanya to pick wild vegetables. Because Shen Chunyun came back suddenly, his expression was a little flustered, and Shen Tuantuan couldn't go out.

Shen Chunyun sat down and drank a bowl of hot tea before feeling that his whole body was warm.

"Little aunt, what's wrong?"

Shen Chunyun nodded, "The city is already in chaos, this time, I don't know what's going on, suddenly some of them reported to the government, saying that there are bold people in our Jiangxia City who actually buy and sell illicit salt!" ”

Of course, Shen Tuantuan knew that buying and selling illicit salt was a felony. But there are a lot of bold people who do this business. In small fights, the government does not have so much manpower to arrest them one by one. So, there are those bold hawkers who are still doing this kind of business.

"In all dynasties, there have been people who bought and sold illegal salt, right?" Shen Tuantuan whispered.

"I can't say this kind of thing anymore, I heard that the taxes of the salt administration have been greatly reduced in the past two years, and the saint is furious." Shen Chunyun also heard it from the teahouse, but no one knew whether it was true or not.

"The endowment of the world, salt is half of it." Shen Changzhi had just arrived at the door when he heard Shen Chunyun's words.

"Yes, yes, that's what the teahouse says. It's also a shame that the salt in my grocery store is all official salt, and there is a monthly income in and out of the account, otherwise, I guess I would have been arrested. Shen Chunyun was still a little scared when he said it.

Shen Tuantuan and the others didn't expect it to be so serious, "It's just that in the village, there is no news yet." ”

"Now that the city talks about salt discoloration, who dares to talk about such things. My grocery store is closed, so I'm afraid I'll get into trouble. Even if you have a clear conscience, you are afraid of being remembered. "Shen Chunyun still knows the importance in the end, but a few days' business is not as important as the lives of a family.

Besides, in a place like the Yamen, even if you are not guilty of entering it, you have to peel off a layer of skin.

"It's great that my little aunt can think like this." Shen Changzhi is also colorful.

Shen Chunyun took the risk to go out of the city to report a message. "I know that Tuan Tuan has always been a big deal, and this matter of buying private salt has never been messed with. But I've heard Tuan Tuan say that the Liu family is used to buying illicit salt? ”

Shen Tuantuan nodded, "Well, the second aunt also advised me not to buy official salt before, and said that at the end of the year, I can save a lot of silver." I pondered that I had borrowed a bowl of salt from my house a few years ago, saying that I was waiting to buy the salt and return it, or maybe I was waiting for the smuggled salt vendor to come. ”

Shen Chunyun's face turned white with fright. "Confused! Taking a risk for such a small profit, at first glance, it looks like something that the Liu family would do. No, I'll tell my second brother. ”

Shen Chunyun said, quickly got up and went to the backyard to find Shen Xiao to talk.

"My aunt is afraid of this, I guess it's a big deal."

"At least you will be punished with a rod, or at worst you will be exiled, and you say that buying and selling illicit salt is not a big deal. The key is that someone with a heart will take this matter as a pawn, as long as the person who committed the crime falls into the hands of the people of the yamen and does not go bankrupt, do you think the yamen will release the people? After serving for a few years, it is estimated that you can't find such a rich oil and water, or the above let you investigate thoroughly, and it is a legitimate thing, you make a profit, is it possible? ”

Shen Tuantuan was silent, and Shen Changzhi made sense.

"Then our salt is almost gone, what can we do?"

"Buy official salt. I'm going to buy it tomorrow, and I'll go to the city to listen to the wind. "Shen Changzhi didn't think that if he went to buy salt at this time, he would be targeted.

After a while, Shen Xiao hurriedly came out of the backyard with a solemn face.

Shen Chunyun sat down again before he began to talk about the things in the city.

"Didn't the shop I had earlier on the main street be tricked away by the Yang family? Later, unexpectedly, the Yang family also opened a grocery store. I've been running this grocery store for so long, and the purchase channel has naturally been stable for a long time. Which Cheng thinks, the Yang family is also thick-skinned, and in the name of my family, it is said that it is a family, so my family is also a preferential price for the Yang family. That's how the Yang family's grocery store opened, but the price was neither high nor low, either the same as my family, or a little cheaper than mine.

Naturally, my grocery store business has plummeted. Needless to say, the grocery store business, even my family's character is not as good as before in the eyes of outsiders. Originally, those neighbors thought that my family was kind to business, but with such a comparison of the Yang family, it seems that my family is different from the outside, and this person is in the dark.

On the contrary, the Yang family's business is too good. Originally, my uncle and I had already discussed that as soon as this year's lease period arrived, the grocery store would be closed and it would be able to be idle.

It's just that I didn't expect that the yamen suddenly began to investigate the sale of illicit salt, and people were panicked for a while. Unexpectedly, within two days of this investigation, the brothers of the Yang family were arrested by the people in the yamen in the shop. The crime was to buy and sell illicit salt, which was said to have been confessed by the upper family, and the amount of illicit salt that could not be found out from the shop was not small, so this person was taken away on the spot.

Even everything in the grocery store is more than moving. The shop was also sealed by the government. ”

Shen Tuantuan didn't expect that the Yang family would be so bold and sell illicit salt in a grocery store. "This matter was carried away by Dali."

"The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, this person, originally said that the Yang family was real, and everything was cheaper than others. At this moment, seeing that the Yang family had made a mistake, they were afraid one by one, and the little salt that the family bought was probably disposed of long ago. scolded the Yang family to death behind their backs one by one, because, at the beginning, the Yang family sold private salt as official salt, but the price was much lower.

In this way, no one would have thought that the Yang family would sell illicit salt in the shop. This is eating the bear's heart and leopard gall! The Yang family can be regarded as having exhausted the organs, and they have also entered the official salt, but there is also a lot of private salt, which is mixed and sold. With this private salt alone, it is estimated that the Yang family has earned a lot of silver.

It's no wonder that I heard that the Yang family has bought a new yard and bought a lot of land these days. ”

After Shen Chunyun finished speaking, his face was still a little ugly. Even if the family is separated, now that the Yang family is in trouble, their family will not be able to get good.

"Has my uncle's family been arrested?"

Shen Chunyun nodded, "Except for a few women, they all went in." My mother-in-law, who came to my house from morning till night, cried and asked us to save her son and grandson. Our family doesn't have the ability to reach the sky, how can there be a way to get people out of the government, besides, this is the crime of killing the head, how can our family have any ability. ”

Rao is like this, Yang Pingshun also had to go to the yamen to inquire about the news, and he stuffed a lot of silver, but he didn't see anyone. Therefore, Shen Chunyun was thinking about the Shen family, Yang Pingshun was still running around the yamen, and Shen Chunyun took the opportunity to come back and report a message.

If my mother's family is like this, don't think about it.

Shen Chunyun sighed, "I can't see the Yang family, but I didn't expect this Yang family to end up like this." All the men in this family have been arrested, how can the rest of the women live? ”

For a while, they were all embarrassed.

Aunt Wang also shook her head at the Yang family, "I know that it is a big crime to kill my head, and I still have to take risks, I really don't know what to say." Thanks to the people who bought salt from the grocery store, nothing happened to them, otherwise, it would have been a great sin. ”

After Aunt Wang's reminder, Shen Changzhi couldn't help but think: "The Yang family should not be able to help fighting, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people, right?" ”

"Ouch, that's a big deal, there are a lot of people who buy salt in this area. Even the shopkeeper Zhao of the ancient and modern restaurants often takes goods from their grocery stores......" Shen Chunyun thought, and couldn't help but be a little afraid.

Shen Tuantuan patted the back of Shen Chunyun's hand, "Little aunt, be careful these days, otherwise, you will live at home, right?" I'm afraid this matter will be messed up for some days. ”

Shen Chunyun didn't sit for a long time, just said a word, and took the carriage back to the city. "I don't worry about your little uncle, if you run to the yamen every day, I'm afraid of offending people."

Yamen.

Yang Pingshun was stuffing silver into the hand of a servant, "Poor master, drink tea, drink tea." ”

Like Yang Pingshun, there are many people at the entrance of the yamen every day.

In the past few days alone, the yamen has not known how many people have been arrested.

The official lives in the same place as Yang Pingshun, and he is naturally familiar with Yang Pingshun. Yang Pingshun didn't think about going to the yamen's house, but when he inquired, the yaman's family said that he hadn't come back at all these days, and he ate and lived in the yamen. Said to avoid suspicion.

Therefore, Yang Pingshun had no choice, so he came to the yamen to wait for someone.

The servant pinched the silver, and it was a silver ingot. For the sake of acquaintances, the officials began to speak, "Now that we officials have also been sent out, the yamen can't enter the cell, and they are all guarded by the soldiers." ”

When Yang Pingshun heard this, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Up and down the yamen, maybe you can still do it.

But if there is an army guarding it, there is really no way out.

The matter of buying and selling illicit salt in Jiangxia City is getting bigger and bigger.

It is said that in other cities, a lot of people have died, and for a while, people were panicked, but this wind still blew to Taohuazhuang.

Because Shen Xiao wanted to divorce his wife, the Liu family was a lot more honest.

Since Shen Xiao went home and said that many people had been arrested in the city, the Liu family was panicked every day, and he could be shocked at the slightest breeze. It's also a shame that Shen Xiao has already lived in a separate room with the Liu family, otherwise, he would have been beaten by Shen Xiao.

"Wan'er, you say, will there be anything wrong with my mother?" The Liu family has not bought official salt at all over the years, and if someone from above checks it, it will be a quasi-check.

After Shen Wan saw Shen Xiao's crying, she complained a little about the Liu family. "I've reminded you many times, but you always don't like to listen to it, and you always feel that people won't live."

"Mother, I really know that I'm afraid, in the future, I will be behaving, I will definitely not save this kind of silver that can't be saved." Liu was really scared, "These days have been full of nightmares, I want to go to the temple to burn incense and ask the Bodhisattva to bless me." If something happens to me again, your father will definitely not care about me, and he will definitely divorce me. ”
