He Yan was not interested in how they trained their children, so He Yan took He Shi to visit Yangzhou City.

After walking around the market, He Yan rented a boat and toured the scenery on both sides of the river.

Look at the scenery during the day, and after dinner, when it gets dark, I go to Xiaoqinhuai to see the scenery again.

……

On the second day, He Yan asked Master He to notify the private arresters, let them go to suppress the smuggled salt, and let him follow.

He Yan himself chatted with the people in the salt courtyard at home, and learned from them about the salt merchants, salt officials, and some local conditions.

As a result, the anti-private crackdown lasted for two days and found nothing.

The main reason is that they don't want to suppress it, and the anti-private management belt with more than 400 people from the anti-private sector will stay in the woods, playing cards when they should be playing cards, drinking when they should drink, and waiting for the benefits of the salt merchants when they go back.

And among these people, there is only one soldier, Jiang Cheng, who is sincere in his work, running up and down, and when he finds private salt, he goes to report it, and he can't take care of it, so he hurriedly says: "My lord, I can't wait any longer, I will run away if I wait for them any longer." ”

The pipe band said unhappily: "Are you the pipe band, or am I the pipe band?" ”

"Is this called the art of war?"

"The real is the virtual, the virtual is the real, go down and stay."

As soon as Jiang Cheng heard this, he didn't have a move, so he had to go back and stay in a hurry.

He Yan heard that the pipe brought back and said that he hadn't even pulled a single hair for a day, and looked at the pipe belt and said: "More than 400 people went, and the hair didn't come back, did you just drink and play cards that day?" ”

Guan said: "The little one doesn't dare, it's really those salt lords who are too cunning, and the little one took the brothers to watch for a day, and he really didn't see a salt dealer." ”

He Yan said: "Okay, continue to kill tomorrow." ”

"Yes." The pipe band clenched his fists in agreement, and then went out.

He Yan said: "Just do things like this, it's strange that private salt is not overflowing." ”

Master He said: "My lord, this is not necessarily useless to arrest private people, maybe this matter is what you ask me for salt merchants and illegal salt dealers." ”

He Yan said: "I know this. ”

"Your suggestion?"

Master He said: "I think the focus of the donation is not on the private salt, I want them to hand over the donation, I think the focus is still on Wang Chaozong." ”

"As long as he is willing to pay, then donating is not a problem."

He Yan said: "There is no need to look for him now, continue to suppress illegal salt." ”

"Tomorrow you go with them, I see that they dare not do their best."

"Yes." Master He didn't know what He Yan thought, and since He Yan had already given the order, he had no choice but to agree and do so.

And Wang Chaozong's family, after Lu Degong's in-law Ji Xiaolan sent Lu Degong salt and tea as a reminder, after Wang Chaozong received the news, he immediately sent someone to the southwest to inquire about the situation.

The people who went there today sent back the news and told Wang Chaozong that there was indeed a shortage of food and salary in the southwest, and after Wang Chaozong found out, he knew that this donation had to be paid, so he immediately made arrangements.

And Wang Chaozong's wife Xiao Shuxian is not idle today, she is busy choosing a concubine for Wang Chaozong.

She fell in love with the troupe she raised, Wan'er, who just turned 16 this year.

After specially inviting her to take a look, when Wang Chaozong gave her a massage in the evening, she raised it and asked, "What do you think of our family Chun and Ban that Wan'er?" ”

Wang Chaozong didn't speak as soon as he heard it.

Since the last time Xiao Shuxian locked him in the room and tossed with her for three days in order to have a son, he let him out, and his heart began to have some shadows.

Xiao Shuxian saw that he didn't speak and asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Wang Chaozong said: "What do you want me to say?" ”

Xiao Shuxian said: "I don't understand, why do you men love to run to Xiao Qinhuai so much?" ”

"Isn't it good to take a concubine cleanly?"

"If one room doesn't work, take two rooms."

Wang Chaozong smiled and said, "I, I'll guard you." ”

"It's enough for you to clean up on me."

Xiao Shuxian smiled and said, "It sounds good." ”

"You don't want me, you have to."

Wang Chaozong said: "Actually, women are like that. ”

Xiao Shuxian said: "What do you think, do you think it really makes you happy?" ”

"I'm thinking that our Wang family doesn't have a son, how can this incense continue."

Wang Chaozong said: "Let's not talk about this matter first. ”

Xiao Shuxian said: "If you don't say it now, what will you say in the future?" ”

Wang Chaozong said: "Am I that old? ”

Xiao Shuxian saw that he just didn't agree, and he didn't want to tell him about it today, and said, "Forget it, forget it." ”

When Wang Chaozong heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the massage became more energetic.

Not long after Wang Chaozong pressed his wife, there was no one on the street outside, suddenly a bunch of masked people holding a pile of hay piled up outside the wall of the seventh aunt's house of the salt merchant Qi's boss, and then lit it with a torch.

When Boss Qi's seventh aunt found out that the water was walking and asked people to open the door to check, the gang rushed in at once, and then started robbing.

Aunt Seven watched her things being snatched away, it was a distressed crying father and mother, and finally after these people snatched away all the valuable things in her house, she sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

He Yan was fine at night, drinking and chatting with Master He in the courtyard, when he suddenly heard the sound of a gong beating outside, and someone shouted: "Oh no, it's out of the water, put out the fire." ”

As soon as He Yan heard that the water was gone, he immediately asked people to go over and take a look.

The entourage who waited to see the situation came back and said that it was Boss Qi's seventh aunt's house that caught fire, and the house was robbed.

He Yan smiled: "It's a good grab, isn't this opportunity coming." ”

"They should pay this donation."

On the second day, He Yan had all the salt merchants and officials summoned.

He Yan heard that the bookstore said that everyone had already come, so he went to the lobby.

He Yan walked into the lobby, walked to the bookcase and stopped, looked at them and said, "The gong rang all night last night, I heard that which boss's house went out of the water?" ”

When Boss Qi heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiyu, it's the little seventh aunt's family, and she walked out of the water last night." ”

He Yan asked: "The loss is not small, right?" ”

"Okay." Boss Qi laughed when he heard it and said, "Four, four hundred taels." ”

When everyone heard that he was lying, they all laughed.

He Yan looked at him and smiled: "Four hundred taels, a lot." ”

Boss Qi looked at He Yan's expression of disbelief at all and said, "Big, adult, small is just this little belonging." ”

"The salt merchant on the rich side is so wealthy?" He Yan looked at the lively Song Governor with a smile and said, "Song Governor's Mansion, what do you say?" ”

"Huh." Governor Song smiled and said: "A fire will lose 400 taels, a lot, a lot." ”

"Nonsense." At this time, Boss Qi's seventh aunt came in from the outside with a miserable appearance, she stopped doing it as soon as she heard four hundred taels, and after standing at the door of the lobby and speaking, she grabbed Boss Qi's placket when she came in, and said while beating: "Qi Shihuang, you have no conscience, and you have been blinded by a thousand knives, so that the lard has blinded your heart." ”

"The old lady's more than a dozen Shu embroidery and Suzhou embroidery, four boxes of clothes, French rouge gouache, English gold and enamel carved mirrors, and two boxes of jewelry......"
