Chapter 67: Illegal Salt

Generally, a house with a foundation can be built in just over a month, but Qi Ruo's house has to be built with a new foundation, which has been repaired for more than two months, but it is not beautiful in Stone Village.

After repairing it, Qi Ruo went to the city to find a carpenter, bought a few sets of cabinets and a set of tables and chairs, and even planted the flowers and plants in the yard, and waited for Qi Mo to move after he came back.

A family must be neatly and neatly in order to be complete.

It's just that Qi Ruo's family didn't wait for Qi Mo to come back before they heard the news that Sun Xiu would try to become a tribute.

It's been more than half a month since Yuan Jing sent the message here, and I'm afraid that Sun Xiucai has already completed the palace examination in such a situation.

The lady of the Sun family is happy and worried, and she is looking forward to her baby winning the Jinshi in one fell swoop, but it is very remarkable to be admitted to the Gongshi, and it is enough for everyone to stutter for a while.

Can you not stutter? Some people may not be able to get a tribute in their lifetime, but her grandson's son passed the exam once.

Not to mention whether they can be promoted to the Jinshi, even the Gongshi will soar to the sky, which they will not be able to achieve in their lifetime.

If these Qi Ruo heard it, she wouldn't feel much, she thought that Qi Mo could come back early and come back safely.

And when Qi Mo was about to come back, Qi Ruo received a letter from Steward Feng, saying that Feng Niangzi had given birth to a daughter and was about to have a full moon, so she asked her to eat full moon wine in a few days.

She was shocked to realize that she was busy and dizzy, she went to see Feng Niangzi after she became pregnant, and she never went again, but she was afraid that her mother would blame her when she looked at her in the sky.

She discussed with Aunt Wang, caught an old hen raised at home and went to visit Feng Niangzi first, and talked to her for a long time, and then the child was about to drink milk before she said goodbye and left.

When she arrived on the street, Qi Ruo did not go back immediately, but turned into a jewelry store, and she planned to buy a long-life lock for the child.

She picked for a long time, and finally chose a long-life lock made of silver, but the family only repaired the house and bought a lot of things, and there was not much money left, so she couldn't really spend her godfather's and godmother's money.

But Sister Xiaotao treats her kindly.

Actually, it's not unaffordable.

Gritting his teeth, Qi Ruo still bought the longevity lock.

Counting the days, Qi Mo was almost time to come back, and she went to the dock after leaving the jewelry store.

Left and right pushed most things today, and she had to be a godfather at home, and she didn't worry about a patient coming to her door suddenly, so she thought about waiting at the dock, but she didn't expect to see Zhao Bingcheng.

She has heard that now Zhao Bingcheng has changed his mind, but he has no intention of becoming an official, but has entered business, relying on the power of his family and his own mind, he has done well.

Qi Ruo didn't know why, and suddenly felt that this world was so beautiful, and people were always born to the sun, just like her, with someone she loved, she was not even afraid of waiting.

"Qi ...... Lady, are you waiting for Brother Qi Mo? ”

Qi Ruo came back to his senses and looked at Zhao Bingcheng in surprise, not knowing how he recognized the person wearing a hat, but it returned to normal in an instant.

"Grand Master Zhao." She saluted Zhao Bingcheng before replying, "I estimate that Ah Mo will be back in a few days, and it just so happens that I also came to Jinzhou, so I'll try my luck." ”

Zhao Bingcheng nodded, not knowing how to continue for a while.

He recognized Qi Ruo at a glance at that time, but he secretly plucked up his strength for a long time when he came forward to talk.

"I owe you a word of apologies." Zhao Bingcheng smiled bitterly, corrected the color again, and shook Qi Ruo is face, "It was not under the beginning, it was not something that could be shirked with a simple sentence of less or more things, it was a bastard, and Qi Niangzi was offended, and it was not possible to make amends here." ”

This bow made Qi Ruo understand that Zhao Bingcheng was going to let go completely, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little more real, and she replied in a slightly playful tone: "It's really a bastard." ”

She saw Zhao Bingcheng's waist pressed down again, and when she was about to apologize, she opened her mouth first.

"The prodigal son of humanity does not change his money, but if the woman makes a mistake and then looks back, she is still full of accusations, even if she does not. If you really succeeded at that time, and came back many years later, it may be a romantic affair for you, but for us women, it will be a lifelong pain, and people will be considered to be not abiding by women's morals. ”

There was no more joke on her face.

"I accepted your apology, but I can't forgive you. I am not the only one you should apologize for, I hope that Zhao Dagongzi can be self-denying and courteous in the future. ”

Before Zhao Bingcheng could speak, he was interrupted by a hearty male voice: "Daughter-in-law! ”

Qi Ruo turned around in surprise and waved his hand to the people who were still standing on the boat.

After a while, the boat finally landed, and Qi Mo didn't care about the eyes of others, ran off the boat in a few steps, picked up Qi Ruo and turned around a few times, and said in his mouth: "Daughter-in-law, I really want to die." ”

"The house has been repaired, and we are waiting for you to come back and move in together."

Qi Ruo was also very happy, and grabbed his arm tightly and said.

The two of them were talking about their thoughts about each other as if no one was around, Zhao Bingcheng was very at a loss on the side, his heart was filled with bitterness, and finally turned around and silently went to the other side to stare at his own workers unloading.

Qi Mo was even happier when he saw Zhao Bingcheng gone. He just saw that this man still wanted to rob his daughter-in-law, and this person's past was bad, and the farther away from his daughter-in-law, the better.

The two of them kept warm for a while, and Qi Mo finally remembered that there was still unloading.

Qi Ruo didn't want to go back alone, so he just waited on the side.

After a while, the workers from the owner who was doing business with Qi Mo came, but fortunately, all of them were quick with their hands and feet, and the unloading was fast.

But some people are too slow.

This dock is so big, there are several cargo ships docked there to unload goods on Zhao Bingcheng's side, and there are several more on Qi Mo's side, and there is no gap in the dock for a while, so they can only wait in the back.

But the fleet behind was not good, and Qi Mo was about to ask Qi Mo to let them unload first.

Why don't they dare to call Zhao Bingcheng to vacate his position? That's not a persimmon to pick a soft pinch, Qi Mo has become a bully in their eyes!

Qi Mo squinted his eyes and looked at the fleet carefully, and when everyone else thought he wouldn't let it, he really waved it.

Qi Ruo was a little worried, and pulled Qi Mo's sleeve.

"Is that fleet a big deal?"

Qi Mo nodded: "The Zhong family, there is Zhao Zhizhou behind you, and it is said that there are people up there." ”

Qi Ruo understood, and also felt that this kind of person was not to be troubled, but ......

"Can't you go back and go? What if the business grows big in the future, and he feels that you are blocking his way to make money? ”

"I'm thinking of either hooking up with him or completely breaking him down so that he can't get up. People like him are just conspiring with the tiger, and they still have to catch him. ”

Although Qi Ruo was very worried, she couldn't help much, so she could only support him silently.

Don't really say it, someone will hand you a pillow when you are sleepy, and as long as Qi Mo calculates, someone will always send it to the door.

No, what the steward sent by the Zhong family said was very intriguing.

I only heard the man in charge of the goods to the man who was moving the goods, and saw a man flash twice, and then said: "What are you doing?" What for? If this product gets wet, I don't think the owner will let you eat it and walk around! ”

What goods should not get wet? Rice grain?

At this time, there happened to be a man who came off the boat with the goods, and when he stepped over the boat, he stumbled a little, Qi Mo happened to be on the side, so he stepped forward and took a hand, and he noticed that something was wrong.

The touch of the hand is definitely not rice grain!

Retracting his hand, he couldn't help but twist his fingers, which were a little sticky.

He casually turned his back and sniffed it, a smell of sea!

He felt a pang in his heart, they were selling illicit salt!

Salt has always been controlled by the government, and even imperial merchants can't get a piece of the pie, let alone the merchants of Jinzhou.

If this thing is poked out, it will be big, no wonder this person can have an intersection with the people above, the profit from selling illicit salt is not small.

This is not just a matter of bringing down the Zhong family, selling illicit salt and raising the price of salt, the people will only be miserable.

"Daughter-in-law, can you go back first, or will you go to Steward Feng's house first and wait for me? I guess there's still something to keep busy. ”

Qi Ruo sensed that Qi Mo was wrong, and was afraid that he would become a burden to him, so he only tugged at his sleeve and worriedly told him to be careful, so he turned around and went to Steward Feng's house step by step.

Qi Mo thought that they couldn't unload the cargo at this time anyway, so he simply explained a few words to the people and left with the people who were escorting the cargo in the fleet.

He'd have to see where they put their stuff.

I saw that the group of people moved the goods into the Zhong family's warehouse, and there were many people guarding outside.

This is true, the most dangerous place is the safest place, who would have thought that the Zhong family would hide the illicit salt in their own treasury?

As long as they don't have an accident for a day, no one will come to investigate, on the contrary, it will be better guarded.

Qi Mo stayed there for a while, but the more he stayed, the more he felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a line of sight behind him that kept staring at him!

He jerked behind him, and there was no one in sight on the trees at the top of the wall, where he could hide people.

He thought about it, he couldn't spend it here, and immediately got up and returned to the dock to urge the people on his side to unload the goods, and wanted to go to Steward Feng's house to see Qi Ruo and tell her a few words, but after thinking about the person who might be hiding in the shadows, he had to give up!

He simply went directly to the outside of the Zhong family's warehouse to guard, and stayed until the middle of the night when the guards were the most lax.

He opened several sacks of goods with his hands and feet, all of which were ordinary goods, and there was no problem, but when he looked back, it was not, by the moonlight, the salt was so white!

When he found what he wanted, he didn't linger longer, grabbed a handful of salt and stuffed it into his purse and planned to go out, but he didn't think about it, but at this time, a man in black suddenly broke in.

"You've been following me just now, who are you?"

The man didn't answer Qi Mo's question, but he didn't make a move against Qi Mo, but went straight to open the door of the warehouse, and of course alarmed the courtyard at the door, but his kung fu was obviously very high, and he stepped on the roof and escaped after a while.

Qi Mo didn't expect that person to come to this trick, and he couldn't stop it when he reacted, so he couldn't help but curse secretly, and turned around to escape, but it happened that he was discovered at this time.

"Here, there's another person here!"
