Shopkeeper Tong didn't expect that he would come at the wrong time.

Chang Zai didn't expect to spoil the good things of the fourth princess Ning Chuchu!

The two walked in, and Li Chenan was pretending to make tea.

Zhongli Ruoshui was still sitting at the desk in front of the window, still looking at her account books, but when the two of them came in, she glanced back.

Shopkeeper Tong and Chang Zai stood in front of Li Chen'an, the two bowed, Chang Zai's face was calm, and he did not see the joy of the young master between his eyebrows, but was still a little dissatisfied.

He opened his mouth and said:

"The person in charge of the subordinate Dark-Cloaked Wei Youzhou is always here, and I have seen the young master!"

Li Chen'an's mind has calmed down, but the fire in his heart has not subsided!

He wanted to get up, but he thought about it or forget it.

"You two may be seated!"

"Thank you, young master!"

Shopkeeper Tong and Chang Zai sat opposite Li Chen'an.

Li Chen'an's waist was hooked, and he was putting tea leaves in the teapot on the tea stove.

"Chang Zai, I called you here so late just to want to know some things about this Youzhou, such as who is the biggest salt merchant in Youzhou City? For example, where does the salt in Youzhou come from! ”

"How much does the Darkcoat Guard know about the sale of illicit salt in Youzhou?"

"Of course, you can also talk about the strange things that happened in Youzhou City."

Chang was muttering for three breaths, and did not answer the previous questions, but said, "Young master...... If you want to say that there are strange things in Youzhou City, there are not many, after all, there are few people in this place, especially from outside, but a strange thing happened tonight. ”

"Oh......?"

Li Chenan raised his head with a curious expression, "What are you talking about?" ”

Chang Zai took a deep breath and leaned over: "This matter, the young master should know about it!" ”

Li Chenan was stunned, thinking that he had entered Youzhou City and came directly to Yuelai Inn, what do I know?

He frowned slightly, "You just say it and listen to it." ”

"At nightfall tonight, more than 100 arresters from the government are all dispatched to catch dogs all over the city...... I heard that this matter was ordered by the prefect Tian Xiurongtian, the big corrupt official in Youzhou! ”

"Say it's the Regent, you like dogs!"

"Those catchers catch chickens in the name of catching dogs...... This Youzhou City, there are still chickens and dogs jumping outside, is this a rare thing? ”

Li Chenan was taken aback, but after thinking about it, he knew what happened.

Wang Zhenghaoxuan, this kid!

He grinned, shook his head, and before he could speak, Chang Zai opened his mouth again:

"Young master, my subordinates have followed the old lady for many years."

"A subordinate said a few words that transgressed the rules......"

"The young master is the regent of our Ning Kingdom, and he is the future emperor!"

"My subordinates think that whether they are the future masters of the garden or the future emperor of Ning Kingdom, they need to clean themselves!"

"My subordinates have already heard that the young master returned to Ning from Wu and took hundreds of dogs with him......"

When I first heard about this, my subordinates thought it was a lie. Later, I heard that the young master rushed thousands of miles to Yanjing City, flew across the Death Swamp, and burned the entire army of the Second Eagle of the Great Wilderness Country to death......"

"My subordinates are extremely pleased!"

"I feel that this is what the future owner of the garden will look like, and this is the majestic posture that Emperor Ningguo should have!"

"I think you brought the dog back to Ning from Wu Kingdom...... This is slander! Stain your name in malice! ”

"But my subordinates never expected that you came to Youzhou City, but you really ordered Governor Tian to send someone to catch the dog......"

Chang Zai's eyes narrowed slightly, "My subordinates just want to ask, is that dog meat really that delicious?" Can you live forever if you eat it? It's heavier than your name?! ”

Li Chenan has been listening.

The shopkeeper Tong, who was always sitting by his side, was shocked at this time!

Only then did he know why he went to invite Chang Zaizheng to drink alone when he was there, and when he heard that the young man was going to see him, he was also very disliked, and even a little unwilling.

So that's because of this?

Is this a trifle?

If the young master is just a rich man, this is certainly not a big deal.

It's a big deal, Ming'er will go and pay some money to the families of those who were caught dogs, and it will be over.

But the young master is not just the young master!

He is also the regent of Ningguo, the emperor who is about to ascend the throne!

The king of a country uses such a method for the sake of his own blessings...... It's really inferior!

The impression that fell on the hearts of the people naturally could not get a good word!

But often this guy's words are too sharp, when the young master is young and vigorous, where can he stand it?

If the young master is angry and slaughters Chang Presence with a sword, wouldn't Chang Presence die a little unjustly?

It's better not to come here to meet the young master.

The shopkeeper Tong was about to make a round, but unexpectedly Li Chenan grinned and said:

"If you want to talk about dog meat, it is indeed delicious to eat, but its effect is not immortal."

As soon as these words came out, it was equivalent to Li Chenan admitting the matter.

Chang Zai took a deep breath, his face full of disappointment.

He was expecting Li Chenan to give an explanation for this absurd matter, or to give this matter a way to make up for it, but he didn't expect that this young master didn't care at all!

Li Chenan really didn't care too much, since Wang Zhenghaoxuan had already done this, since the dogs in those people's homes had been arrested by the government, he could only let people give some compensation to those people tomorrow.

This silver can't be taken out by itself, so I have to let the prefect Tian go out!

So Li Chenan directly ignored this matter, and said:

"Please come, not to discuss this matter, you just tell me, who is the biggest salt merchant in Youzhou City, and ...... What has that Tian Governor done in Youzhou City all these years? ”

Chang Zai hung his head, and after a while, he said slowly:

"On the orders of the master, the black-clothed guard has secretly investigated this matter over the years."

"The biggest salt merchant in Youzhou City is Dow, and Dow has five salt shops in Youzhou City, but this is not where Dow really makes money."

Li Chenan listened carefully, poured three cups of tea, and handed over two cups.

Chang Zai and Dao:

"In the entire Beimo Province, the sale of illicit salt is the most rampant in the country."

"In order to crack down on this matter, the Daotai Merchant has dispatched soldiers several times over the years, and even he personally led the troops to arrest those illicit salt dealers, but without exception, they all returned in vain!"

Li Chen'an frowned slightly: "There is an inner ghost?" ”

Chang Zai nodded: "There is the largest salt gang in the country in Beimo Dao!" ”

"The Salt Gang is a gang that colludes with the government and specializes in selling illicit salt!"

"Among them, there are people in the rivers and lakes, mountain bandits and robbers, and even down-and-out scholars!"

"The Northern Desert Dao Salt Gang is extremely powerful, and the person behind it is called the old man...... The Darkcoat Guard also went to investigate, but he didn't find out who this old man was! ”

"It's just that I heard that this old man can reach the sky, not only in the officialdom of Beimodao, but even in the temples of Kyoto, there are also his people."

"Lord Shang also sent a catcher to track down this old man, and even investigated all the salt citations sent out, but he still didn't find out who the old man was."

"Even the origin of so much salt on the salt gang has not yet been figured out."

Li Chenan was stunned for a moment and asked: "Didn't those big salt merchants buy official salt from the government at a low price and sell it at a high price through smuggler salt dealers?" ”

Chang Zai laughed and shook his head:

"This is the old man's cleverness!"

"Buying salt at a fair price from the government and then selling it through smuggled salt dealers doesn't make much money, but it successfully diverts the attention of the government!"

"They're all puppets!"

"Even the biggest Dow in Youzhou City is a puppet!"

"The old man's salt, I'm afraid it hasn't been sold in the Northern Desert Dao at all!"

And the source of his salt is not limited to the salt farms of the Northern Desert Road...... I'm afraid this will involve the Luo Guo Mansion in Kyoto! ”
