The two of them were stunned for a moment by the pair of inky eyes that seemed to be hiding countless whirlpools, and then they slowly walked towards the outside of the stone crack with a sloppy face, and gradually disappeared outside the cave.

When she returned to Binhai City, it was already night, and Chu Nian's body fell into the room where the candle flame was flickering, and in the midst of the mist, Ming Xiu sat at the table, looking at Chu Nian's figure fixedly.

"Where has Your Highness been today? Have you had a good meal? ”

"You're not punctual."

Ming Xiu had no intention of buying it, his seemingly calm side eyes touched the teacup beside him, Chu Nian hurriedly stepped forward to fill the empty teacup, only then did Ming Xiu glance slightly, and saw that he seemed to snort coldly, and said in a low voice: "You can't do this next time." ”

Ming Xiu was a little helpless and put aside his restless cold little hand, and then looked at Chu Nian with a straight face, "The antidote has been found?" ”

"I'm ...... today" Ming Xiu raised his eyes and looked at Chu Nian with a serious expression, "I went around the city, but I found something interesting." “

"I've heard that the prefect of Marina City is looking for a salt merchant, and it seems that we can find some clues from here for the breakthrough."

Chu Nian raised his eyes and glanced at Ming Xiu, no wonder Ming Xiu felt that he was tired, I am afraid that there was a bigger hunger problem in this.

In the early morning of the second day, the two got up early in the morning, thanks to the fact that Ming Xiu had already sent someone to send a message to the coastal city to pay a prayer, and as soon as he heard that it was a salt merchant from Kyoto, the prefect almost immediately responded to Ming Xiu's prayer post.

Idle

Come, Chu Nian had time to look around, they were led to a side room to wait, this side room is not big, only a round table occupies most of the space, so that the wall is hung with a pair of authentic paintings of famous painters in Kyoto, there are four white porcelain vases in the dead corner, and the vases are painted with cumbersome patterns, and it is also very atmospheric to look at.

Chu Nian picked up the tea cup and took a sip gently, the bitter taste bloomed in his mouth, it was a new Zhengshan small species, and he didn't know if this prefect's taste for tea art was too bad or he was too lazy to come up with good tea in the face of two salt merchants.

But the two in front of me are all supported by temperament and are not dressed in rich clothes, and it is the first time that the prefect has seen them.

Flicked his sleeves slightly, put on an official posture and said, "It's just the two of you who came to find the official's post?" ”

Ming Xiu nodded slightly as a salute, Lord Wang's face didn't seem to look good, and he spit out a trace of arrogance from his nostrils, and then he paced over slowly, sat on the main seat, and glanced up at the woman who was still standing with slanted eyes, "Sit down." “

But the prefect obviously didn't notice the strangeness of this side, Chu Nian had already sat down slowly, still smiling lightly and couldn't see the emotion, the prefect glanced sideways at Ming Xiu again, and saw that he still didn't react, and was about to have a seizure, but he thought of the tempting conditions in yesterday's prayer post, so he could restrain his anger and cough lightly.

Looking at his arrogant eyebrows, Chu Nian couldn't see a trace of annoyance on his face, he just nodded slightly, and his beautiful little face was full of affinity, which made people can't help but want to get closer.

These words were originally rehearsed in advance, Chu Nian didn't plan to hear any news from this prefect on the spot, but he didn't plan to let go of this opportunity, so naturally he could come up with as many words as he could.

Seeing that he didn't plan to get down to business so quickly, Chu Nian was not in a hurry, but said with a light smile: "It's hard work, but it's really far away, and the family business is still in the care of the elderly grandfather, which is somewhat worrying." “

"Hmm-" The prefect dragged out his tone and was silent for a moment, and only when the teacup in Ming Xiu's hand had begun to leak before he could hear him say in a deep voice: "Then how much salt are you going to collect?" How many ...... have been prepared?"

Ming Xiu seemed to look at him with some surprise, turned his eyes and looked at Chu Nian, and saw Chu Nian frowning slightly, nodded lightly and said: "This is natural, but after all, it is the first time for us to negotiate with adults, and we have traded directly with salt farmers in the past, so this price is ...... It's hard to say either. ”

I saw him touching his fat and oily chin, and a pair of mung bean eyes narrowed so that only two sausage-like gaps remained, "Trade directly with salt farmers?" Where do you deal directly with salt farmers? ”

As if thinking of something, Lord Wang's eyes flashed with a faint trace of anger, and he snorted coldly as if disdainfully: "I'm afraid it's just private salt, right?" You don't know, is it a capital crime to trade illicit salt in Daliang? ”

"My lord, this ...... We don't know what's going on, but we have repeatedly promised that it is definitely not private salt! ”

At this point, Lord Wang had already believed the fear of the woman in front of him, and laughed a little proudly, before saying: "Then you might as well tell the official where the private salt came from, you must always know the source, and catch the fish that slipped through the net, so as to live up to the mission, right?" ”

Seeing that the man actually threw the problem to himself, Ming Xiu, who was too lazy to speak, couldn't help but helplessly glance at the eyes full of playfulness, and turned his eyes to look at Lord Wang, a pair of narrow eyes flashed with a faint light, which made Lord Wang feel a pressure inexplicably.

After falling this sentence, Ming Xiu rolled his eyes whimsily, as if looking at the fat-headed and big-eared prefect was an insult to his eyes.
