"My lord, there is a salt field in front of you, do you need to send someone to notify you first?"

When there were still three miles away from the salt farm, Master Sun asked Pei Guangyuan.

"No need, go straight over, sir, I'll just see if they're lazy."

Squinting his eyes slightly, Pei Guangyuan had been drowsy all the way, and couldn't help but yawn.

"Yes. Keep going, and you don't have to tell them to get ready for it. ”

After receiving the order, Master Sun instructed the guards, and soon the carriage continued to move forward.

"My lord, the saltworks have arrived."

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the salt field, Pei Guangyuan was still squinting and dozing off, so Master Sun had no choice but to gently push him.

"Oh, here, let's get out of the car and have a look."

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Pei Guangyuan opened his eyes, and then Sun Zhushu helped him out of the carriage.

The salt field is located in a flat land outside Fuyun Town, which happens to be a large rock salt field, and the surrounding vegetation is very small, very secluded.

When Pei Guangyuan stepped out of the carriage, the head of the salt farm who got the news had already run out in a panic.

"Xiaguan Feng Er didn't know that the adults came to inspect, and he missed the distance, so he asked the adults to atone for their sins."

"Alright, Lord Ben is here to check on the salt production, I don't have time to gossip with you here, let's go in quickly."

Pei Guangyuan covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, and waved his hand impatiently towards Feng Er, the principal.

The air in the salt field is not too good, there is a feeling of both dry and dusty, plus the surrounding land is very saline, not suitable for plant growth, the vegetation is scarce and unshaded, the sun shines directly, it is very hot.

Just after standing at the gate of the salt field for a while, Pei Guangyuan felt uncomfortable, which is why he has been reluctant to come to the salt factory to supervise the work.

"Yes, yes, it's a little hot at this time, please go inside and drink tea and rest."

Feng Er hurriedly raised his hand and pointed towards the inside of the salt field, dodging to get out of the way. When Pei Guangyuan and Master Sun walked in, Feng Er hurriedly raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, turned his head and glanced at his assistant covertly.

"Master Feng, let's go, wait until the adults ask you something."

Master Sun, who followed Pei Guangyuan, found that Feng Er was still standing in place, and turned to call at him.

"Yes, yes, this is coming, this is coming."

Hearing Master Sun's voice, Feng Er quickly retracted his gaze and didn't dare to look at his assistant, so he followed Master Sun into the room where the file records were collected and released in a panic.

"My lord, this is our record of salt production during this time, as well as the amount of salt in Kufang Village."

Removing an account book from the shelf on the side, Feng Er handed it to Pei Guangyuan, who was sitting at the table.

However, Pei Guangyuan didn't pick it up, just waved his hand at Master Sun, who stepped forward, took the account book, and looked at it.

"How's it going, there's enough salt in the storehouse?"

After waiting for a while, Pei Guangyuan looked at Master Sun, who was seriously looking at the account book.

"Lord Hui, the amount of salt in stock recorded in the account is enough to meet the amount needed this time. It's just ......"

Master Sun flipped through the account books and frowned slightly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Master Sun wanted to speak and stopped, Pei Guangyuan asked suspiciously.

"My lord, judging from the accounts, the amount of salt produced this year is not as good as in previous years, which is 20% less than the same period in previous years. Moreover, there seems to be something wrong with this account book, as if someone had torn off a page and rewritten it. ”

Flipping through the account book again, Master Sun showed the account book to Pei Guangyuan.

"My lord, please see, there are obvious traces of tearing between these two pages, and the data before and after have been adjusted, which is obviously wrong."

"Humph! Feng Er, what is your explanation? Could it be that you are a thief and sell salt without permission? ”

Looking at the places pointed out by Master Sun, Pei Guangyuan slapped the table violently.

"The big and the big ones atone for their sins, and the small ones don't dare to sell salt without permission, it's really, really hard!"

Frightened by Pei Guangyuan, Feng Er suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Tell me, what's wrong!"

Master Sun knew Feng Er's temperament, and he belonged to a person who had a thief's heart but not a thief's courage, and he didn't dare to steal salt and sell it privately.

"Yes, yes......"

Feng Er trembled, hesitated for a long time, and still couldn't open his mouth.

"Say it! Otherwise, I'll have someone cut you right away! ”

Pei Guangyuan didn't have much patience, so he picked up the pen holder on the table and threw it at Feng Er.

"Great, my lord, I say I say! Half a month ago, the salt factory was robbed, and some of the fine salt was stolen. His subordinates and subordinates were afraid of being held accountable, so they secretly changed the account books, thinking that they would step up their work in the next few months to make up for the amount of salt stolen.

But、However、I didn't expect that adults would actually come to inspect.,That's it.,That's .......。 Please atone for your sins! ”

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, Feng Er grabbed the ground with his head and shouted for mercy.

"Bastard, if something like this happens, I don't report it quickly, and I still want to hide it. You're damned! ”

After listening to Feng Er's story, Pei Guangyuan pointed at his head angrily and scolded.

"Your Excellency, please stop your anger, the salt depot has been stolen, and your business is useless now, but fortunately, the amount stolen is not too much, but it is not a big problem. It's just that ordinary people don't have the idea of fighting the salt farm, who will this person who steals the salt farm? ”

Master Sun picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea for Pei Guangyuan, and said his thoughts.

"You're right, the average person doesn't pay attention to the salt works at all. Feng Er, after the salt works were stolen, did you find anything? ”

Feeling that Master Sun's words were very reasonable, Pei Guangyuan turned his head to look at Feng Er who was kneeling on the ground again.

"This, this, my lord, after discovering that the salt depot was stolen, my subordinates were panicked and scared, so they didn't go to investigate.

No, however, the man who came was very sophisticated, and charmed the guards and the workers of the salt works, and then swaggered out of the salt storehouse, which must have been done by a bold and careful man who did not respect the government. ”

was asked by Pei Guangyuan, and the sweat on Feng Er's face flowed down again.

"What a crap!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Erjing thought about shirking responsibility, and he didn't even investigate, and Pei Guangyuan couldn't help but scold.

"My lord, listening to what Master Feng said, it made his subordinates think of the identity of the thief."

Pinching the mustache on his chin, Master Sun squinted his eyes slightly.

"Master Sun has thought of something, tell me quickly."

Pei Guangyuan was too lazy to look at Feng Er who was kneeling on the ground, and asked Master Sun directly.

"My lord, you think, your hands and feet are neat, and you can quickly transport so much fine salt, and you are not afraid of the people of the government at all, who else is there except Luoyun Village! According to what their subordinates saw, there must be a lack of salt on Luoyun Village, so they paid attention to the salt field. ”

"Yes, yes, Master Sun is right, my lord, it must be the bandits from Luoyun Village who went down the mountain and robbed the salt storehouse."

As soon as Master Sun's words fell, Feng Er immediately stood up excitedly and nodded again and again.
