Zhou Yunli pretended to think about it contemplatively, pretended for a long time, and didn't give an answer.

Rao is Wen Tang was grateful to him at first, but now she felt like she was being teased.

She said in a calm tone: "The fourth master shouldn't be trying to embarrass Tang'er." Although Tang'er and the fourth master don't have a deep relationship, they are also your best friend's sister after all, so why bother so much. ”

"Look at your breath. I saved you, and I had to help you keep the secret, but in the end, it was all mine. Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you. ”

After Zhou Yunli finished speaking, he threw away the fan in his hand, and then carefully poured the decoction in the medicine stove into the bowl.

When Wen Tang took the medicine, he took the silver and went to the doctor, lost the broken store door and paid double the consultation fee.

So much so that the doctor, who was very angry just now, immediately offered a smile like a spring breeze after getting the silver.

After Wen Tang drank the medicine, the two left the medical hall.

This medical hall is close to Dongguan Alley, and Wen Tang doesn't know the road, so he can only follow Zhou Yunli along the way.

Maybe it was because his previous words made him unhappy, and along the way, the fourth master didn't open his mouth much.

Wen Tang suddenly felt a little apologetic, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Fourth Master, although Tang'er is a woman, she also renews her promises. I owe you a debt of affection, and if you need me to do anything in the future, just ask. ”

Zhou Yunli listened to these words, but there was some surprise in his heart.

Fang was just talking casually in the medical hall, and he didn't care.

Now this girl really owes him a favor.

He didn't say anything, just glanced at her and went on.

Soon the two came to an intersection. Walking here, Wen Tang also knew the way he came.

At night, there are almost no pedestrians on the road.

Wen Tang thought that if she didn't go back quickly, Mother He would definitely come out to find her worriedly.

I just wanted to say thank you to the fourth master and separate, but I didn't want a small footstep on the street in the distance.

Zhou Yunli was one step ahead of her, and then pulled her into the shadows of the alley.

Immediately after that, he pressed Wen Tang behind him, and he poked out half of his head in the direction of the sound.

"Who are they?" Wen Tang asked in a low voice.

She knew she couldn't make a noise to be discovered, but she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart.

So she leaned her whole body on Zhou Yunli's body and whispered in his ear.

Zhou Yunli stared there for a long time, and only after those voices spread farther and farther away did he turn his face sideways and whispered, "It's to help the smuggler salt dealer." ”

It's actually a smuggler of salt!

Wen Tang couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She still remembered that when Chang Bo left, he once told him that there were smuggler salt dealers who sold salt at a low price, so that the official salt in Nancheng could not be sold.

Unexpectedly, she saw these smugglers with her own eyes tonight.

If you want to revive this shop on Nancheng North Street, these illegal salt sellers must be eliminated.

Wen Tang thought of this, so he was ready to go over to explore those people's lair, but Zhou Yunli pulled her from behind.

"It's dangerous there! You are crazy? ”

"Fourth master, I'll be careful."

"Careful? Do you know what those people are holding in their hands? Knives and guns have no eyes, you don't want to die? ”

Zhou Yunli has never seen such a girl who doesn't know the height of the sky.

Wen Tang knew that if he gave up this opportunity today, he didn't know if he would be able to meet these salt bandits again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

There is no time to delay.

Wen Tang said: "Fourth master, please go to the salt shop on Nancheng North Street and tell Mama He, and say that I will go back later." ”

With that, she broke away from Zhou Yunli's hand and ran away.

As far as she is concerned, she lives her life, so how can she be afraid of death.

She plunged headlong into the alley, walking briskly, and soon there was no one to be seen.

Wen Tang didn't expect that she would follow these salt bandits all the way and actually come to Dongguan Alley again.

But instead of going to the brothel, they stopped at the back door of a very remote gatehouse.

The bustle of Dongguan Street belongs only to brothels, and the further back it goes, the quieter and more terrifying it becomes, so they don't worry about being discovered at all.

A couple of men with knives stopped there escorting a cart with several sacks, each marked with the word "medicine."

Wait, when you see the word medicine normally, you will only naturally think of the medicinal materials in the medical hall, why would the fourth master tell her that she is a smuggler of salt?

With some questions, Wen Tang hid in the corner and didn't dare to make a sound, and watched quietly.

It wasn't until the back door opened and those people went in that Wen Tang came to the door again.

The gang probably didn't expect someone to follow them, so after pushing the door in, they just closed the door and didn't close it tightly.

Wen Tang pushed the door open a little crack at this time, trying to look inside.

The big man with the knife was helping to move the goods off the car.

Not long after, someone walked into the courtyard, hugged one of the salt bandits a few times, and said something happily.

And what Wen Tang didn't expect was that this person was actually her younger brother - Wen Changzhi!

Wen Changzhi, as a member of the Wen family, actually mixed with these salt bandits, which is too absurd.

She quietly paid attention to Wen Changzhi's every move, only to see that after Wen Changzhi finished talking, he took it and poked it into the bag of medicinal herbs, and soon took out pieces of salt that were as white as bricks.

Then he smiled: "This batch of goods is purer than the last time, and this time it will definitely be sold at a good price." ”

The salt bandit who spoke just now leaned over and said, "It's all sold to the common people, and the people don't think they will want to increase the price of the goods." After all, there is still your family's shop there.

When it comes to purity, it is still pure from official salt. ”

Wen Changzhi raised his head and smiled: "That store is in the hands of that woman, and it is estimated that it will not last for a few days." Wait, when there is no salt shop there, our private salt may still be sold at the price of official salt. When the time comes, I, Wen Changzhi, will never forget your brothers. ”

As soon as they heard that there might be benefits in the future, several salt bandits began to laugh.

One of them said: "Young Master Wen, those officials would not have thought that it was the son of the four major salt merchants, Mr. Wen, who joined forces with us.

With Young Master Wen taking care of us, we won't have to be afraid of those officials in the future. ”

Wen Changzhi threw away the salt brick in his hand at this time, clapped his hands and said, "How many dividends do those officials eat from us salt merchants every year. In private, my family has not been less than silver, so even if I am arrested in the future, I am not afraid. They can't move me Wen Changzhi. ”

Someone else asked, "However, if your father knows about the sale of illicit salt, the old man will not tolerate these things." ”

"Cut! My old man is still too busy with so many things, how can he manage me here. You just have to do it boldly and boldly, and you will not lose your benefits in the future. ”

"Brothers have worked hard today. Later, I will go to Dongguan Alley with me, and the girl from Hualouzi will pick and choose. ”

After Wen Changzhi finished speaking, he left. And the salt bandits over there, because they thought that they were going to visit the kiln later, so they accelerated the speed of moving goods in their hands, and soon moved all the illegal salt.

After making sure that the salt bandits would not come back, Wen Tang quietly pushed open the door at this time and walked into the courtyard.
