Chapter Ninety-Five: The Benefits of Fish and Salt

Ruyi couldn't care about being polite with Park Zhishun when he heard it, and quickly followed Nie Zheng to Huayu Village. On the way, Nie Zheng had simply reported the situation and Ruyi. It turned out that Nie Zheng lived in Hongcun and Huayu Village under the banner of accompanying his mother and sister, but in fact, it was just to monitor whether anyone came to contact again. It just so happened that on this day, Nie Zheng went to deliver something to his sister, and he saw a carriage going straight to the village chief's yard. The carriage was exactly as Ruyi had described.

Nie Zheng hurriedly contacted the technical warriors Lao Yue and Ma Jin who were ambushed in the surrounding area, and the three of them worked together to control the people in the carriage in the courtyard of the village chief. Nie Zheng then ran back to the city to inform Ruyi.

When Ruyi arrived at Huayu Village, she saw that the carriage that she had hurriedly glanced at at the door of the village chief was parked at the door, and the curtain was made of black jade cloth.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw two people tied up in the courtyard, both of whom were covering their faces, one was the coachman, and the other was supposed to be the person in charge of the salt pond.

The village chief squatted aside tremblingly, and when he saw Ruyi coming, he kept begging for mercy, "I really didn't do anything this time, girl, you have to believe me." ”

Ruyi gave Nie Zheng a look, and Nie Zheng immediately understood, and took the village chief and the idle people down.

Ruyi then uncovered the black cloth that covered the faces of the two people. Both of them are middle-aged men, with ordinary appearances, the kind that is difficult to find in the crowd.

Ruyi asked Lao Yue and Ma Jin to take down the strip of cloth from the gag, and then broke open their mouths to check whether there was a poison sac hidden behind their teeth. After checking and finding nothing, Ruyi began to ask.

"Where are you from?" Ruyi asked.

Neither of them answered on the ground, and one of them simply closed his eyes himself.

If neither of them cooperates, it seems that they can only take it back and use some means. Ruyi instructed Lao Yue and Ma Jin to take the two back to the inn.

Ruyi and Nie Zheng also went back in the carriage they came. On the road, Ruyi leaned on the wall of the car, closed his eyes and recuperated, and sorted out his thoughts by the way.

Nie Zheng quietly watched this woman full of magic from the side. There is always so much energy, there is always so much wisdom, and there are so many opinions and ideas.

Nie Zheng may not even realize his current expression, his eyes are soft, the corners of his mouth are smiling, and his face is gentle.

Ruyi noticed that a line of sight was following her, but she didn't open her eyes, she just smiled and said, "Nie Zheng, I've thought about it, when this matter is over, you can go back to accompany your mother." You and I don't have anything to do with each other, and now the one-year appointment doesn't make much sense. ”

Nie Zheng's beautiful eyes instantly dimmed a little, and they also became a little colder. He is a killer, an emotionless machine, it is the warmth that Ruyi gave him, which made him find his family, and made him believe that there is still warmth in the world.

"If you dislike me, say it, don't beat around the bush and drive me away. I'm not going to stick to you. Nie Zheng lowered his eyes, covered the emotions in his eyes, and said coldly.

"You kid, why are you still angry?" Ruyi curled the corners of his mouth and said accommodatingly.

"Also, don't call me a child, you're no more than two years older than me." Nie Zheng said in a cold and awkward voice.

This time, Ruyi opened his eyes in surprise and looked at Nie Zheng, but he didn't see anything, so he had to stop talking.

The carriage space is small, and the cold scene between the two people instantly makes people feel a little embarrassed.

Nie Zheng pursed his lips, looked stubborn, and turned his head to look out the car window. Ruyi had to open the curtain on the other side of the car and pretend to look out the window. The carriage rolled slowly forward, and it was not far away, for the silence suddenly stretched the time infinitely long.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally saw the gate of Jimo City, and Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to lower the curtain, he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure. To say that familiar is not familiar, it can only be regarded as acquaintance, at most it can be regarded as an acquaintance. This person is none other than Xu Gong who makes Ruyi's teeth itch.

At this time, Xu Chengcheng got down from a carriage, and the carriage seemed to slide into a small pit on the road and couldn't get out. Xu Gong had to get off the carriage and reduce the weight of the carriage before he could pull it out. Ruyi suddenly thought that Nie Zheng was also from Hetumen, so he turned his head and tugged on Nie Zheng's sleeve, "Do you know this person?" ”

Originally, Nie Zheng regretted it a little as soon as he finished speaking, but now Ruyi took the initiative to give the steps, so he hurriedly went down the steps, leaned over to the window on Ruyi's side, and looked in the direction of her finger, it was a handsome man, with an elegant and free and wanton temperament. Nie Zheng's eyes sank, did she like this type of man, there was a burst of fragrant fragrance on the tip of his nose, and when he was thinking nonsense, Ruyi's voice thought again, "Do you know him?" ”

At this time, the carriage had already passed by the stopped carriage and walked away, Nie Zheng sat up straight, shook his head, and then added, "I don't know." ”

"I don't know." Ruyi said as if to confirm something.

"Should I know?" Nie Zheng asked a little inexplicably.

Ruyi didn't answer again, but changed the topic and asked, "Will you still go back to Hetumen?" ”

"I'm not going back." Nie Zheng said firmly, and his expression was as if Ruyi had asked a nonsense.

returned to the inn, Ren Ruyi exhausted all means, and the two people who were caught did not let go.

Ruyi thought with some annoyance, what benefits did the people behind the scenes promise them to make them so desperate.

This time Ruyi really thought wrong, sometimes what makes people not open their mouths may not be the promise of benefits, but threats.

As soon as Xu Gong entered the backyard of Donghai Buzhuang, Second Master Tu hurriedly walked over and whispered in his ear.

"What? who allowed them to act rashly. Xu Gong's voice was cold and full of destructive roars, changing his previous laziness, obviously angry.

Second Master Tu gritted his teeth and whispered, "It's the young master." ”

"Where is she?" Xu Gong's eyes shot like a sharp sword.

Frightened, Tu Erye's back trembled, this Xu Gong looked handsome and extraordinary on the surface, gentle and elegant, but after all, he was the master of an assassin sect, and his powerful methods and ruthless style had already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"Young master, she's gone to Linzi City." Second Master Tu replied with some stammering.

"I got into trouble, patted my ass and left, and I had to wipe her ass." Xu Gong gritted his teeth and said hatefully, "Go and write a letter to the master and ask him to recall the young master, otherwise, ...... He understands. Xu Gong narrowed his eyes, and the last few words collapsed word by word.

"Okay, I'll go." Second Master Tu trotted like a pardon and was ready to go into the house to write a letter.

But he heard Xu Gong ask behind him again, "Does their family have a Heart-Eating Pill?" ”

"Yes, even if they themselves are not afraid of death and want to confess, their families don't want to live." Second Master Tu said with sweat wiped his sweat.

Only then did Xu Gong nod and stop talking.

Ruyi has not been in a good mood these days, no matter how much coercion and temptation he can't pry open the mouths of those two people, and he can't do it, and he can't hypnotize them.

Ruyi condensed, this matter should not be delayed any longer, the soldiers are fast, two days is enough time for the other party to destroy the evidence, since you can't follow the vine, then you can only kill the chicken and make an example.

Ruyi asked Nie Zheng to hand over the two of them to the government, and wrote a confession, signed it, drew it, and gave it to the government.

"Be sure to carry out the execution in public for these two days, and put up a notice to enter the confession as well. Warning everyone. ”

After Nie Zheng left, he may have been stunned by Ruyi's seriousness just now, Xia He asked in a low voice, "Miss, is this salt pond really so important?" ”

"Do you think I've been punished heavily? But this is a capital crime, the benefit of fish and salt is the foundation of the country, if it is in the hands of others, the country will not be a country, and the building will be completely sucked. Ruyi looked at Xia He and said.

"I understand. Miss. Xia He nodded seriously and said.

Ruyi quickly sent a letter to Brother Wang, and Tian Yinqi cooperated with the decree.

Soon, the matter of asking and beheading made the whole Jimo City boiling, and the words of the notice were thought-provoking, and those who had a heart of lawlessness were terrified. The government intensified inspections, inspected along the coastline, regained the salt profits, opened salt ponds, hired people to work, and halved taxes and fees.

Fisheries and mining have been re-integrated under the unified management of the state, and those that have been negligent in management and have accumulated deep shortcomings will either be cut off with a knife or dug deep and carefully investigated, and will never leave any troubles. The policy of official mountains and seas has been implemented again. For a time, there was a fiery wave of reform in the entire Qi country.

The weather in April is full of spring. All kinds of flowers are blooming, and the purple and red are beautiful.

Ruyi was sitting by the window admiring a pear blossom in the courtyard of the inn, with snow-white petals and pale green calyxes. Clusters of branches hung from them.

"Miss, when are we going back to Linzi?" Xia He asked as she packed her things.

"What? Want to go back? Ruyi smiled and turned his head to look at Xia He and said.

"No, it's just that I plan to bring some gifts back before leaving, and I have set a date, so I can buy them in advance." Xia He said with some embarrassment.

"The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, you can go shopping tomorrow." Ruyi was afraid that Xia He would be embarrassed and no longer asked deeply.

After Ruyi finished speaking, he casually glanced out of the window, but saw a person in white standing under the pear blossom tree, dressed in white with a pear blossom tree, coupled with the handsome face of human and divine indignation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fairy outside the world.

Park Ji-shun was downstairs at this time, looking up slightly at the woman's side face exposed in the window on the second floor of the inn, Jingshu's beautiful appearance.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Ruyi nodded and smiled, and Park Ji-sun also smiled in return.

After a while, I heard a knock on the door, and it was Park Ji-shun and Park Hai standing outside the door, and Park Hai still said with a big grin and heartily, "I heard that the girl is going to Linzi, and we are also planning to go, why don't we get together and go together." ”

Ruyi smiled, just wanted to politely refuse.

I heard Park Ji-sun's clear voice sound, "I want to ask the girl to be my doctor, the girl is kind-hearted, and she will not look at me in a foreign land." ”
