Songjia Village.

Under the yellow horn tree outside the delicate quadrangle.

Li Chenan naturally didn't know that Wang Zhenghaoxuan had made a big banner in front of the prefect of Youzhou with his tiger skin.

He was eating watermelon.

Not to mention, this watermelon chilled in well water tastes really good.

But it's not cold enough.

When I went to Youzhou City, I had to buy some ingredients to make some ice and get some real chilled watermelon to eat.

He raised his eyes and looked at Song Dou and the four people who were kneeling in the sun outside, and walked over with a piece of watermelon.

He squatted in front of Song Dou, "Are you thirsty?" ”

"Would you like to try it?"

Song Dou was sweating profusely, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

His lips were chapped, and he stuck out his tongue and licked it, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, but turning his head away.

"You don't want to know anything from my mouth!"

Li Chenan grinned:

"Tut-tut......!"

"Look at you, you're not a tough guy yourself, you obviously have a fire in your mouth, but you still have to pretend to look like you are at home!"

He took a bite of the watermelon, slurped, and said slowly:

"Actually, it's a job to sell illicit salt...... I really don't object, but your fault is that you colluded with the government to raise the price of this salt! ”

He came to the tall and thin man again, squatted down, took another bite of watermelon in front of the tall and thin man, wiped his mouth, and said:

"Do you think that when you die, the people behind you will look after your family?"

"You are so wrong!"

"For the people behind you, whether I am a certain or some big salt merchant, or a certain official of the government, I firmly believe that you are just a tool for them to make more money through this private salt!"

"When you die, they will know that you have fallen into my hand, to destroy your mouth...... None of your family will survive! ”

As soon as Li Chen'an's words fell, the tall and thin man raised his head violently, his eyes full of fear:

"Regent, Regent...... If we all speak out, will you, can you save the lives of our family? ”

When Song Dou heard this, he turned his head and shouted: "Zhang Laosan, how dare you say half a word!" ”

Li Chenan pursed his lips, "Look, he is now a grasshopper after the autumn, but he still dares to threaten you." ”

"I am the regent of Ningguo!"

"The three of you, whoever wants to say it will come over on your knees, this Song Dou, he said that I won't listen either."

Li Chenan turned around and walked under the yellow horn tree: "The opportunity is given to you, before sunset, if you still don't say ......"

He sat on the stool, took a fan and shook it: "There are many illegal salt dealers in Youzhou, and there are only three or two big salt merchants in Youzhou!" ”

"It's easy to find out about this little thing, so when I decide to leave here, you, and your family, are doomed to die!"

His face was pale:

"Am I really a man of letters?"

"I don't care if I kill 10,000 desolate people, let alone the four of you!"

Li Chenan stopped talking.

The atmosphere here was suddenly solemn.

The other two people who were kneeling on the ground all looked at Zhang Laosan and did not speak, but the uneasiness in their eyes made Song Dou, who was kneeling on the side, extremely uneasy!

"You have to think about it, it's true that he's the regent, but it's impossible for him to stay in Youzhou for long!"

"If the old man knows that you have betrayed your brother...... Do you know the consequences? ”

These two sentences frightened Zhang Laosan and the three of them back when they came to their mouths, Li Chenan looked at it, and frowned between his eyebrows:

"Well, it seems that you are more afraid of that old man."

He stood up and looked at the sun.

"Then I'll cut the four of you first, and then investigate the case of selling illicit salt in Youzhou."

"Gone...... Kill them! ”

Li Chenan walked up.

Xia Huaqiang pulled out his sword with a thud.

Li Chen'an took a step, she went away with a sword, and Song Dou's head flew up suddenly!

A cloak of blood spurted from his neck and drenched the faces of the other three.

Zhang Laosan collapsed in that instant.

The yellow and white things flowed out immediately!

He slammed to the ground and roared with tears in his eyes: "The Lord Regent spares ...... life!" ”

"The villain, the villain will tell you everything he knows!"

"Just ask, just ask the regent to let the villain and the family go old!"

Li Chenan turned around and smiled.

"Why bother?"

"You really can't say it!"

"No, the villain must say it!"

"What about you...... Say it from afar! ”

The other two also kowtowed in unison: "The villain is also willing to confess to the regent!" ”

Li Chenan sat down again.

"Okay, you speak slowly, tell everything you know, and I'll let you live!"

The three of them were overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down, and rushed to tell Li Chenan everything about the Youzhou Salt Gang!

A full hour later.

Li Chenan frowned.

"You don't know who it is, old man?"

Zhang Laosan hurriedly said: "Back to the regent, we have only heard of the name of the old man, but who he is, the villains really don't know!" ”

"When the villains take salt, they all take the goods from the salt guide Lord Zhang, and even Lord Zhang doesn't know who the old man is, only that the old man's hands can reach the sky!"

Li Chenan pondered for a moment.

This so-called salt official is not a big official.

The salt of this world is under the control of the government, because the sales of salt are huge, and the taxes are also huge.

Therefore, Ningguo has a salt and iron division.

The person who manages salt is called a salt officer.

According to the distinction of Ningguo's official positions, this salt official, from low to high, is Yan Yin, Yan Paw, Yan Zheng, Yan Envoy, Salt Supervisor, Salt Road and Salt Transport Envoy.

The official of salt introduction does not have the privilege of issuing salt introduction, in fact, it does not even have a grade, but is only responsible for the transportation and storage of salt.

But it is such a petty official who is not in the stream, in the eyes of these smugglers of salt, but it is their God of Wealth, but it is Lord Zhang in their mouths!

This kind of character can't get in touch with the real upper echelons.

But as long as you grasp this Zhang Jiayi, you will naturally be able to sort out the layers of characters above him.

"Where does Zhang Jiayi live?"

"Back to the regent, he lived in a small courtyard at the west end of Dishui Bridge...... On the opposite side of the courtyard is the largest green building in Youzhou City, Yuping Building, which is easy to find! ”

"I see,"

Li Chenan stood up again, Zhang Laosan and the three of them were extremely nervous at the moment!

They didn't dare to look up.

They thought they were going to be beheaded too.

But he never expected Li Chenan to say lightly: "Let's go!" ”

"Don't go back just yet, ...... In the future, I will do some other business first, and don't sell private salt first. ”

The three of them were startled, and when they looked up, Li Chenan had already walked away with four fairy-like girls.

"Aren't you worried about them going back to snitch?" Zhongli Ruoshui looked at Li Chenan and asked.

"There's nothing to worry about...... They are also for a bite to eat, and there is no point in killing them. Other than that...... They can't be faster than you. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, and Li Chenan smiled slightly: "Who will go to Youzhou City first?" ”

"Find Zhang Jiayi's yard, just stare at him, don't startle the snake!"

Xia Hua looked up: "I'll go!" ”

“…… Okay, be careful, I'm afraid it's a little dark in this Youzhou city! ”
