Early the next morning, Heng Xinyuan got up and had breakfast, then went to the hall and ordered him to go down and let the major salt stores come to the government to get salt.

However, until the third pole of the sun, I didn't see a salt merchant coming, and I didn't feel a little puzzled, so I asked people to go out to inquire, and after a while, Xu Liang came back and said, "Lord Heng, the little one went out to inquire, and today I don't know why, these salt merchants are closed, and even the salt shop is closed." ”

"Oh?" Heng Xinyuan lowered his eyebrows and pondered, and found the trick in it in a moment, "It seems that this Hou Ye not only colluded with the government, but even the local rich merchants have become his vassals, and his ability is really great." ”

"So what do we do now?"

"I heard that there are four salt stores in Liangzhou, Zheng Wu Zhou Li, Zhou Shiyuan and Li Lin, who have a deep friendship with Xue Ruijin, Wu Fang has the lowest financial resources and no status, but the remaining Lord Zheng Yuan has always had a good reputation......"

Xu Liang opened his mouth wide and admired again and again, "Lord Heng, the little one really admires you, it seems that before you came, you had already understood the situation in our Liangzhou City, indeed, this Zheng Shang is indeed a good person, when Liangzhou was still eating official salt before, he was the biggest salt shop boss." ”

But then the salt store was gradually co-opted by Xue Houye, and the other three families more or less defected, only he insisted on selling salt by himself...... But it didn't take long for the hoarded official salt to be sold out, so he went to other places to buy it at his own expense, and then shipped it back and sold it to the people at a low price. Hey, he's a good person, but this method is not a long-term solution, even if he has a lot of money, now it's almost scattered, it's a pity! ”

Heng Xinyuan smiled slightly, "Let's go." ”

"Where does Master Heng want to go?"

"Let's visit this Zheng Yuan." Heng Xinyuan stood up and straightened his clothes.

"But my lord, I heard that this Zheng Yuan has suffered from a serious illness in the past year and is already bedridden, even if he is allowed to go out of the mountain, what is the use?"

Heng Xinyuan patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Then you go to the backyard and tell Madame, let her bring her elixir, and go with me, maybe you can cure a patient!"

Xu Liang looked dazed, but he still flew into the backyard and reported the words to Wan Bingyu.

At this time, Wan Bingyu was in the house with her bottles and cans, and when she saw Xu Liang recklessly breaking in, she thought that something had happened to Heng Xinyuan, after listening to his words, she smiled, put a red medicine bottle on the table in her sleeve, and went to the hospital with him, Heng Xinyuan was waiting for him in the carriage.

"What, think of me now?" For Heng Xinyuan being busy with government affairs these days and ignoring his own behavior, Wan Bingyu said that he was very angry.

Heng Xinyuan hurriedly coaxed her, "Then I'll apologize to Mrs. now, okay?" I'm really busy these days, I don't have time to take care of you, and when I'm done selling salt, I'll definitely find time to take a good look with you. ”

In fact, Wan Bingyu is just talking about being angry, in fact, he is still very distressed in his heart, he is almost working in a row these days, and it will be late at night, seeing that people have lost a lot of weight, and the fire bubbles on his mouth are also rising one after another.

"Alright, where are we going now?"

"Go and save someone, save an important person!" Heng Xinyuan deliberately sold Guanzi, "So I need Mrs. help." ”

As he was talking, the carriage slowly stopped in front of a house, the two got out of the car, stood on the street and looked, the red gate was solemn and magnificent, but it was tightly closed, and the fallen leaves in front of the door were also thick, no one cleaned them.

Xu Liang stepped forward and buckled the door, but no one responded.

It took a little more effort to hear a faint voice from inside, "Here ...... come"

The door was opened by an elderly man, hunched over with a gray beard on his chin, squinting at them, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Heng Xinyuan stepped forward with a smile and replied, "Uncle, we are here to visit Boss Zheng, is he at home?" ”

After hearing this, the old man was a little vigilant in his eyes, and raised his eyes to look at him, "What are you looking for him?" Who are you? ”

"This is Lord Heng, the prefect of Liangzhou, let your boss come out and take over!" Xu Liang roared angrily.

The old man immediately became frightened, "Prefect? Lord Prefect? You, you, you...... What's the matter with you here? ”

Heng Xinyuan glared at Xu Liang and signaled him not to be reckless, while he said respectfully, "This official came to find Boss Zheng for the reopening of the salt store, I wonder if he is free?" ”

"This, I'll go in and report this, please wait!" As he spoke, he limped inside.

Heng Xinyuan lectured Xu Liang angrily, "Xu Liang, your attitude just now was too arrogant, after all, this is someone else's house, and he is an old man, don't scare others." ”

"But, you're the prefect, shouldn't they come out to kneel and greet them? What kind of shelf?"

"Even though I am the prefect, I can't do this, and besides, today we are here to ask for help."

"I ...... I see, sir. Xu Liang stepped aside with some shame.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, I suddenly saw a man wearing only a single coat and a coat leading four or five servants to trot out, ran to the door and knelt down in front of him, coughed twice and said, "Zheng Yuan didn't know that the prefect had arrived, and he missed the distance, I hope I will forgive me...... Ahem, ahem, ahem! ”

Heng Xinyuan looked at him, and sure enough, he looked sick, he should have just gotten up from the bed, and he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

Hurriedly helped him up, "Boss Zheng doesn't have to be polite, get up quickly, it's windy here, you're not in good health, don't aggravate your condition, let's go into the house and talk." ”

"Okay...... Zheng Yuan hurriedly approached the door and welcomed the two of them to the hall to serve tea.

"I've always heard that a new prefect came to Liangzhou, and I should have prepared a generous gift to visit him, but my body has not been good...... I hope Master Heng Haihan!" Zheng Yuan coughed again and again as he spoke, and a quiet and elegant woman came out of the inner room, put on a fur coat on his shoulder, and persuaded him, "Master, you are not in good health, the doctor said, you can't work, don't say a few words, just go back to the bed and lie down." ”

"Got it, what do you know as a woman, go back quickly."

It seems that it should be Zheng Yuan's wife.

"I heard that Boss Zheng was sick, but now that I look at it, it's really true." Heng Xinyuan took two sips of tea and said lightly, "I don't know what kind of illness Boss Zheng has?" ”

"Hey, it's just a stubborn illness accumulated in the early years, and it's not in the way." Zheng Yuan waved his hand.

"If you are not in good health, you have to treat it earlier, it just so happens that my wife knows the art of Qihuang, why don't you let her diagnose and treat Boss Zheng?" Heng Xinyuan asked.

"Let Madame diagnose the pulse under it? How dare you do this? Zheng Yuan was a little flattered, he had been suppressed by the government over the years, and he had become a little resistant to these people wearing black gauze hats and official uniforms.

Wan Bingyu sat down beside him, rolled up his sleeves, put three fingers on his pulse, and squinted his eyes to diagnose it, "Boss Zheng is caused by the stagnation of the void fire in his body, coupled with the sadness of his heart, which hurts his liver and kidneys...... But it doesn't matter, I have a medicine here to treat Boss Zheng's illness. ”

As she spoke, she took out the medicine bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Zheng Yuan, "One pill a day, it's enough." ”

So magical? Zheng Yuan shook his head in disbelief.
