Chapter 39: A game within a game

And that Liu Tieniu has indeed been reused by the Bai family recently.

was arranged to a gambling house, and even directly managed one of them.

"The kindness of the Bai family is true, so that I can't forget it, if there is anything needed, the small one will definitely go to the soup."

Liu Tieniu burst into tears, all moved.

"You should know that we are willing to help you because you can contact Han Qing. If you can get some secrets about the salt recipe from his mouth, then the Bai family can afford the glory and wealth you want. ”

Bai Ershao said arrogantly.

bribed a villain, and made such a big battle.

He didn't even pay attention to it before.

If it weren't for the repeated reminders from the doorman, he would never have been so generous.

"I'm definitely going to do my best, and I'll find out when the time comes."

Liu Tieniu said sincerely.

seems to have already become a member of their Bai family.

But all this, who knows if it's true or not?

He worked in this gambling house for more than a month, but he did it quietly, and returned all the silver taels he owed before.

"It seems that you have already chosen the Bai family, so from now on, my Han family will not have any connections, and there will be no more contacts."

Han Qing said coldly.

Liu Tieniu is no longer flattering.

"Don't think that if you have a few trades, you can really stay in this northern county. Whose territory is this? You should know better than I do! ”

Not bad.

Liu Tieniu dared to speak ruthlessly.

This has the Bai family to support him, and he doesn't pay attention to anything.

"He really bullied people too much, obviously their Liu family was also bullied by the Bai family before, and he doesn't have a long memory."

My sister said angrily.

Do you feel a little unwilling?

Impossible.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, so we don't need to care too much."

Han Qing didn't care.

continued to work on his upcoming imperial examinations, and two months have passed one after another.

Time waits for no one.

Most of the knowledge that my mind has stored before is science and engineering.

However, this imperial examination is more inclined to the Four Books and Five Classics.

If you don't learn a few articles, you're a lot worse.

But who would have expected.

One day, a letter came.

None of them are indicated.

The above content is about several gambling houses in this northern county town.

No matter how big or small, some of the black industries operating in it are depicted.

"How dare they secretly transport some bronze artifacts?"

"This is an item in the Luojing Imperial Forest Army, mainly the materials used in the weapons in the arsenal, and this thing is basically something that no one dares to touch."

This is a big taboo.

"It is difficult to distinguish between the truth and the falsity of the letters, and we must not act rashly."

Han Qing glanced at it and didn't say anything.

If there is nothing wrong with these gambling houses, then report the matter to the officials.

This is a blatant accusation, and they may even be convicted.

"But why did those people pass the letters to me, I didn't have my own people in the gambling house."

Zhu Xiaoye said with a puzzled expression.

It was a very strange thing for him to be true.

And there is such a big case, it should be known in advance to the Dali Temple.

These nameless people will not interfere in the investigation of the case.

The only explainable reason now must be that someone deliberately set this trap.

"Did you get the news from Dali Temple?"

"Not really."

So is this gambling house incident true or false?

It still needs to be verified.

The Bai family has already released the news.

Didn't see any action on their part.

"You still take the problem too seriously, this guy's wife is gone, how can you listen to Han Qing's words? Suspicious all day long. ”

So all this is just to test Liu Tieniu, whether he will do things for Han Qing again.

After all, he did receive more than two hundred silver taels last time.

"Young master, but this doesn't make sense, no one would lend him so much silver taels for no reason?"

"Instead of doubting here, it's better to ask."

"Bai Ershao, blame me for not making this matter clear before. Originally, our Liu family was reluctant to leave, and it would feel extremely embarrassing to say it, so we didn't sign this letter of peace and departure......"

All of a sudden.

The Bai family's disciples completely believed him.

Originally, I was quite suspicious of this person, but after a lot of temptation.

I also believe that this Liu Tieniu doesn't have that much ability.

"So I'm going to keep going? But what you asked me to do before, it's close to the Han family, I'm afraid I can't do anything. They don't want to see me now. ”

It's quite honest.

But this directly disrupted Bai Ershao's plan.

He originally wanted to find someone to take out the secret recipe of their Han Salt Pavilion.

But who knew that the other party was making trouble and leaving?

"I can't find the right person right now."

"Yes, aren't there any outsiders in their house? I don't believe there are no servants in such a big Tinglan Garden. ”

This is what I said.

Woke him up immediately.

Moreover, in the process of salt production by these salt merchants, it is not possible to complete it alone.

And what kind of people they will deal with, some of these secret recipes are self-evident and will be passed down.

"Okay, you're really good!"

Bai Ershao was excited, feeling that he would be able to see the dawn of victory immediately.

Immediately arranged for the house slave to investigate clearly.

But Liu Tieniu is not useless.

If Han Qing really doesn't have any reputation in the future, he can let him come out to add fuel to the fire.

After all, it doesn't hurt to win over more.

"You called me here to see this letter, no evidence?"

Wen Qi asked suspiciously.

He took a closer look at some of the textual statements in it, and none of them made him find useful.

"Has anyone of you been to these gambling houses before?"

"There will definitely be a quarterly routine check-up. But these are all industries of the Bai family, and there are generally no major problems. ”

Wen Qi said truthfully.

"Yes, it's just someone deliberately misleading us."

Han Qing suddenly spoke, he didn't say much just now.

It seems to be waiting for some news.

"Why do you know it's fake?"

Master Zhu was still confused.

From the time he received this letter, he is now discussing with these two people.

I don't understand why I think it's false at a glance.

"Just now my informant sent a message back, this letter was deliberately sent to you by the Bai family's doorman, and it is fake."

The Bai family?

Why did he expose himself?

also used such a terrible crime to sell steel from the imperial court.

There is some contradiction in what is true.
