Huaiyang, the interior of the living room of the main hall of the Fu Yin Mansion.

Many salt merchants are gathering here to discuss how to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, although they have found a way to deal with it for the time being, but they are salt merchants, every time they get salt and buy official salt.

They all cost a lot of cash.

It doesn't matter if it's up and down or just buying.

Officials and the imperial court only recognized silver.

It's hard to do things without enough silver in your hand.

So now this kind of exchange of all the gold, silver and jewelry in their hands for real assets, although it can be maintained for a while, but it cannot be like this forever, if it continues like this, their salt business will not be able to continue.

Therefore, for them, this problem must be solved, and if they do not solve it, they will be forced to die.

When Zhen Fu Yin hadn't come yet.

The salt merchants at the scene were already very emotional, and there were complaints and speculations.

"It's really impossible to live this day.

The people above didn't want to help us solve the problem, but they kept asking us for silver, and if we continued like this, we would have to drink the northwest wind ourselves.

How can there be any silver for them? ”

"But isn't it, seeing that the salt is about to expire, and then it is the time when we need to spend a lot of money, but now we don't dare to keep much silver at home, this is simply forcing us to die, which one killed a thousand knives to harm us?"

Li Sancai and Zhao Weidong have decided not to be salt merchants, and directly sold their property, saying that they are going to go back to be ordinary squires, and now they are worry-free.

It's not like us, it's almost sad to death.

I've been losing a lot of my hair these days.

Zhang Dahai is even whiter overnight!

Who can have such a means to reach the sky, under the protection of so many of us, forcibly steal our assets, originally I wondered if there was a thief to cooperate, but now it seems that this can't be done by a thief at all, it's like seeing a ghost. ”

"Actually, I always feel that this thing is really not like a human doing, have you heard of the legend of the white snake, the Xiaoqing in the legend of the white snake stole the official silver, isn't it just a five-ghost carrying method, isn't it also no trace at all, as if it disappeared out of thin air.

If they hadn't had any common sense, they would have given Xu Xianhua the official money directly, and they wouldn't have been able to find them! ”

"You're saying there's a monster at work?

But I've lived for more than forty years, and I've never heard of any monsters on the other side, oops, there must still be some peerless thief, if there are really monsters, no......

Lang Lang Qiankun, how can there be any monsters? ”

"Oh, if you want me to say, it's a bit like that!

Even if it's not a monster, it's probably a demon, are we looking for the wrong way, maybe we shouldn't ask the government for help, but should ask a Taoist priest, maybe we can really see something. ”

While they were discussing, the local governor, who had a headache, had already strode in, and the salt merchants present quickly silenced, got up one after another, and saluted.

Although they have a lot of assets, and even have backers behind them, businessmen are businessmen, and the peasants and workers in the Shinong industry and commerce may not be able to override them, and even in most cases, they cannot be above them at all, but the taxis are absolutely overpowered.

So no matter how rich they are, they don't dare not give face.

However, Zhen Fuyin was obviously not in the mood to be polite to them at this time, so he waved his hand and sat down:

"I know your predicament, and even this matter has now alarmed the imperial court, but I have really tried my best, almost all the cities near Huaiyang Mansion have entered the strict inspection mode, and all the people and things entering and leaving the major cities will also be strictly investigated.

But I didn't find it, I just didn't find it.

It is basically impossible to transport so many things out quietly, but as you know, the results of the inspection in the city are that no tunnels have been found, nor anything else inappropriate, or anything that has been lost in your home.

This incident is obviously somewhat unusual.

So far, I have only found a few signs that may be related, and this sign has something to do with you, and it needs your cooperation to investigate, so I specially called you here to tell you about it. ”

"Some time ago, I received a message.

In the eastern and central regions of Yunnan, the salt god sacrifice suddenly arose for a period of time, and after investigation, it was found that the cause was many villagers and mountain people in those places.

Suddenly, a lot of salt fell from the sky.

The scope is very wide, and the number of people involved is also very large.

The amount of salt involved, preliminary statistics.

At least not less than 10 million catties.

This is basically the same amount of salt that those salt merchants lost half a year ago, so it can already be concluded that the salt that those villagers and mountain people have obtained from heaven should be the salt that you lost.

But how tens of millions of catties of salt were transported out of the city, and how they passed through many checkpoints and were transported thousands of miles to eastern Yunnan!

There's a lot going on here.

There are also a lot of confusing points.

Now let's talk about it, do any of you sell salt in eastern and central Yunnan, and how has it been sold in the past six months? ”

As Huaiyang Mansion Yin said this, the salt merchants present basically all had a creepy feeling, and a few of them couldn't help but gasp, and at the same time, they were a little stunned.

It suddenly became clear that they were selling salt over there.

Why the cliff fall.

"Lord Zhen, our family has sold salt to the places you mentioned, and the sales volume of those places in the past six months has indeed fallen very sharply, but we only thought that someone might be selling a large amount of illegal salt in the local area, so we just asked the local government to help crack down on illegal salt, and did not investigate the specific situation in depth.

But I didn't expect it to be this reason, but how did the other party transport so much salt?

And why give away free salt? ”

One of the salt merchants immediately replied, and also raised his own doubts, in his opinion, wouldn't it be worth the loss to give away the stolen things for free?

Not to mention that it took so much luck.

and the risks that may be exposed along the way.

"Our family also sells salt to places like eastern Yunnan and central Yunnan, and the sales have also plummeted, and it has only recently rebounded, but the magnitude is not large."

"But it shouldn't be, how can so much salt be transported out quietly, there are so many checkpoints along the way, how can it be impossible not to be discovered.

It can't fly through the sky, right? ”

"It's outrageous......"

"I don't think it's really a monster doing it?"

"Lord Zhen, I wonder if you can come to a conclusion?"
