Wu Xing soon drove the carriage out, and when they arrived at the agreed place, they put the medicine in the carriage and returned to the palace.

After going back, Chen Yue asked his henchman Qinggu to do this.

Qinggu is the female official in charge of all the palace maids, and she quickly caught the traitors in the palace and interrogated the mastermind behind the scenes.

Qinggu came to see Chen Yue with news, saying that it was the queen's instructions.

Chen Yue was not surprised.

He dealt with the queen's mother, and the queen wanted to seek revenge on him, and it was no surprise that he wanted to take revenge.

He sighed, put the queen under house arrest, and strengthened the guards in the palace.

From then on, he didn't even want to fly in a fly where he lived.

In his spare time, he played with the ring given to him by Little Begonia.

If it weren't for her, he probably didn't know how he died.

Fubao, really.

Chen Yue also gradually discovered that after he took the ring given by Xiao Haitang, the thinking in his head was much clearer when dealing with state affairs.

When the civil and military officials were deliberating, he could even see through their true thoughts at a glance.

Therefore, his decisions are even wiser.

The ministers were in awe of him, and the atmosphere of the court was very different from before.

He knows that Xiao Haitang has always liked to look at things from the perspective of the common people, and when he has nothing to do, he will also put on ordinary clothes, pretend to be a rich man, and go to the fields to talk to the people who are farming.

He wants to understand what is going on in the hearts of ordinary people?

What do the common people think about the imperial court, what opinions?

When he returns, he will think seriously and discuss these matters with the minister.

At the same time, he also paid attention to strong troops, and if the military was not strong, he could not stand firm among the princes.

The Son of Heaven is in decline, and he can't suppress the princes.

The princes were eyeing each other.

If you are strong, others will bow down to you.

If you are weak, they will swallow you up to the bone.

He had to be strong.

In other words, this side of Qingniu Town.

After Qian Yan gave Da Mao the paperwork, he waited for news.

But the news didn't come to the left and the right.

Others gave gifts to Shangfeng during the New Year, and even he gave gifts to his top peak.

Why is this big hair so ignorant?

Waiting and waiting, waiting for the New Year, he told Niu Er about Li Damao again.

Niu Er said: "It's better for us to send someone over to inquire and see if Da Mao has succeeded." ”

"Hmph, he took the paperwork I gave me in person and went back, can he still do something?" Qian Yan asked angrily.

"Who knows, it's better to inquire, otherwise we'll be like deaf and blind, how can we do it?" Niu Er said.

Qian Yan felt justified, so he sent someone to go.

As a result, the people he sent out went and never returned.

I don't know what the hell is going on?

He went on his own, and he didn't dare.

What if you walk on the road and encounter a big rock falling from the sky?

So, they stopped for another two days.

Liu Chuansheng was puzzled and asked, "It's been ten days, why hasn't there been a free labor force sent over?" ”

It turned out that the villagers had been arrested by the villagers who had come to inquire about the news, and it was clear that they were people sent by the county magistrate, so they were directly arrested and sent to work in the mine.

They are now short of manpower, and they have to have someone to help.

They just need to work well to have food and a place to sleep.

If you don't work hard, you will be beaten and you will not be given food.

They knew they couldn't leave, so they just stayed and worked.

Anyway, I can still live.

And so they got seven or eight laborers for nothing.

Moreover, Zhou Yuanzheng also invited Xiao Baiyan over and asked him to watch the door.

The little white eyes look at the door more strictly than the human watch.

The county magistrate had no choice but to openly send someone over to ask Chief Niu to go to the county office.

Niu Baochang still refused on the grounds that he was unwell and not suitable for long journeys.

These people sent people to ask for the chief cow is fake, and the news is true.

When they saw that the chief of Qingniu Town was still Niu Chengchun, they knew that Da Mao had not succeeded.

So, they prepared to go back to their lives.

The chief cow said to them: "You must be careful when you walk, our family of three said that they went to the county to run errands, and they never came back, and they don't know if they made a fortune outside, or they were eaten by wild beasts on the way." ”

When they heard this, they hurriedly asked, "Whose family is lost?" Why didn't you report it? ”

"Who's to say if they're lost or have gone to live somewhere else? How do I report a crime? ”

"Who?"

"Li Damao, he and his parents haven't come back.

Hey, I don't know you either. ”

The man almost blurted out that he knew, but luckily someone next to him stopped him.

Then they took their leave and went back.

As soon as they reported to the county magistrate, the county magistrate was immediately annoyed.

He gave Li Damao a lot of silver, he wouldn't have fled with the money, right?

If so, isn't he being toyed with?

Thinking of this, he was so angry that he couldn't eat or sleep.

Niu Er gave a bad idea again and said, "My lord, since they don't know each other so much, then we have to find a way to make them unable to live in peace." ”

"What's your solution?"

"If they are disobedient, then we will order the merchants not to bring salt to them.

I don't believe they can live normally without salt. ”

The county magistrate clapped his hands and said, "Oh, you still have to have your brain, this idea is good, this idea is good." ”

To hold the salt is to hold their lifeblood.

As a result, Qian Yan ordered that salt was not allowed to be supplied to Qingniu Town, and even ordered that salt sales in other places must be registered.

When was it sold? How many catties were sold? Several members of the buyer's family must be registered.

In this way, how do they live in Qingniu Town?

The news soon reached Zhou Yuanzheng.

This time it really made them embarrassed.

Salt has always been controlled by the imperial court, and they have no other channel to get salt in.

Moreover, since the county magistrate is targeting them, the search must be very strict.

Even if he had several wealthy merchants to supply him, it would not be a simple matter to transport salt thousands of miles.

Xiao Haitang also suddenly collapsed.

Meals without salt don't taste good.

What's more, people can't do without salt, and if the salt intake is not enough, their combat effectiveness will be weakened.

The workforce will also be weakened.

Not only is there no strength in the body, but in severe cases, it may be bedridden, and in more serious cases, it will lead to coma, so the probability of a short life is greater.

Therefore, longevity is closely related to salt.

It's really hard to solve.

There is no problem in the short term for three or five days, or even ten days and half a month, and there are still some in the shops and some in everyone's homes.

However, in the long run, it will definitely not work.

Insiders are worried, and the common people have gradually discovered Ni Duan.

Because now they go to the grain store to buy salt, and they are not allowed to buy too much at a time, but only a little.

They also wondered if there was no more salt?

The more such speculation is made, the more it will cause panic among the people.
