Chapter 151: The Whereabouts of the Salt Well
"The people really don't know that they still need permission from the government to sell salt. But the salt shop across the street is also open! ”
When Lord Zhizhou heard her say this, he raised his thick eyebrows and said, "However, the opposite side is not open." ”
Ye Jinyan was stunned, she finally knew who was secretly reporting, it seems that Zhang Yi closed the salt shop in advance, just so that Lord Zhizhou could send troops to arrest him, so that he could get away with it.
But...... This salt shop has been open for so long, it is impossible to know until now.
"My lord, if the people's daughter is really breaking the law and discipline, please bear with Haihan, the little girl just came out of a small village and doesn't know the rules, so it's ......" Ye Jinyan said and kowtowed again.
Lord Zhizhou looked at the woman in front of him, her delicate and dignified face, but there was a trace of forbearance and unyielding. The clear eyes, the firmness and indifference revealed, are admirable.
If someone else came to this court, he would definitely panic.
"It's okay to tolerate Haihan, but how did you make your salt?" Lord Zhizhou frowned curiously.
"This ...... The little girl could not be informed. ”
With that salt well, you can eat it for a lifetime, and if you hand it over to the government like this, it will still be in the hands of those capitals.
"Why?" Lord Zhizhou asked patiently.
Ye Jinyan raised her eyes and said indifferently: "This salt is actually a method passed down from my hometown, and the little woman only learned about it by chance before she thought about using salt for business." ”
Ye Jinyan vaguely wanted to fool the past, but looking at his shrewd eyes, he knew that this Lord Zhizhou was not easy to fool.
"Oh? Then you can show me how this salt comes out. "Lord Zhizhou is interested.
When Ye Jinyan heard this, he chuckled in his heart, he wouldn't really let himself be salted out on the spot, right?
"My lord, forgive the little girl for not telling me the truth."
Ye Jinyan changed his rhetoric at that time and directly confessed the guilt.
The big deal is a prison sentence, and Ye Jinyan has already experienced it once.
Lord Zhizhou saw that her expression was firm and unmoved, so he said, "Do you know that you are against the imperial court!" ”
Lord Zhizhou's voice was not high but severe, Ye Jinyan took a heavy breath to hide his panic.
"When the adults say so, the little girl doesn't follow it." Ye Jinyan took a deep breath and looked directly at Zhizhou Dao, "As the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, but if they make a mistake because they didn't deal with the government before and don't know the rules, the little girl is also willing to accept the punishment......"
After a pause, he said: "Then, I will consult the government again, but it is only in reverse order, although the people's daughter is wrong, but it is concluded that there is no such thing as 'against the court', and please ask the lord to know it." ”
Ye Jinyan said it neatly, and Zhizhou also admired her eloquence.
Lord Zhizhou's face hesitated for a moment, and asked, "If you can hand over the secret of how to make salt to the government, the official will forgive you for your innocence." ”
Ye Jinyan pondered in his heart, it seemed that he must hand over the method of making salt by himself today, a pair of crystal eyes turned, and then said: "After handing it over, can the adult still let the little girl continue to sell salt?" ”
Ye Jinyan looked eager, it should be possible, but looking at his expression was a little incomprehensible.
Zhizhou said: "This, I still have to report to the imperial court before I can make a decision." ”
Ye Jinyan nodded when she heard this, and said without thinking: "Since this is the case, let's wait for the adults to report to the imperial court, and the people and girls will also ...... Make a decision when the time comes. ”
Lord Zhizhou obviously didn't expect her to say this, and the atmosphere seemed a little stiff.
The one above didn't know what to do with her, but someone had already hinted to him before, thinking of this, Zhizhou felt that this was a lucrative deal, and it was also a hot potato.
Ye Jinyan was taken down first and put in prison, and she was already in a more easy-going mood than last time when she was chained and ankyklet again, if the gang wanted to know how salt was made, they wouldn't let her die easily.
Ye Jinyan leaned against the cold edge of the wall and sighed lightly, knowing that doing business in the capital would not be as smooth as in the town.
In the prison, just let her calm down, and when she gets out, she will make a new plan.
The other side.
Xue Shenxing and Young Rong returned to the rented public house, Xue Shenxing had already guessed the intentions of those guys, as long as this place was not sealed first, this salt could be sold again, and all these disasters were caused by that salt.
"Brother Xue, is there still a chance for Jin Yan to come out after being locked inside?" Young Rong couldn't help but worry about Ye Jinyan's safety.
Xue Shenxing closed his eyes and thought about something, slowly raised his eyelashes and said, "Rong'er, now only you can save her." ”
"Brother Xue......"
Young Rong whispered, obviously able to read something from his expression.
Xue Shenxing turned his face, looked at her, and said, "Only if you restore the identity of Miss Houfu, Zhizhou will let her go." ”
"Brother Xue, do you really want to ......" Young Rong asked again in disbelief.
"Hmm. It's not convenient for me to show up. ”
Xue Shenxing also thought about it for a long time, and only by doing so could he save Ye Jinyan.
"That's good, Jin Yan, it's kind to us...... Young Rong pursed her thin lips, nodded, and said, "However, I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you easily in the future......"
When Young Rong said this, she looked at Xue Shenxing with a reluctant expression. The delicate face suddenly showed a sad face, a pair of peach blossom eyes, mist, and heartbreaking to see.
Xue Shenxing stood up and muttered, "You all know that I'm here, what are you afraid of, it's destined in this life, I can't get rid of you." ”
Xue Shenxing originally said it casually, but the speaker was unintentional, and the listener was intentional, and these words sounded different to Young Rong's ears.
Young Rong smiled and said, "Okay, but I haven't been back for so long, let alone being reprimanded by my father." ”
"Master Hou regards you as the pearl of his palm, and he definitely can't bear to punish you."
Xue Shenxing knew how much this Hou Ye loved Young Rong, otherwise he wouldn't have sent people to look for her for the past two months.
Young Rong nodded, and returned to the Hou Mansion in the evening.
When I came to the yard, it was obvious that these people didn't know her, but after a few days of careful looking, I found that it was the eldest lady.
"The eldest lady is back!"
When a sweeping maid saw it, she immediately dropped her broom and ran towards the main hall.
Young Rong was startled, and several grandmothers immediately rushed over, and said with a flattering smile: "The eldest lady is finally back, but the master misses you very much!" ”
Young Rong looked at these people with some flattery, nodded and said, "Got it, didn't I come back?" ”
"By the way, what about Xin Yun?"
Young Rong thought about the last time Xin Yun helped her escape, and she didn't know what was going on now, for fear that it would affect her.
When Mama heard her say this, she sighed.
