After everyone went ashore, the dead soldiers brought the salt merchant caught in the water to Xiao Yu'an.

"Master, it's a pity that only this one who received the smuggled salt was caught, and the other one let him run away." The dead man pressed the man to the ground.

"It's okay, if you catch him, they won't be able to run away." Xiao Yu'an looked at the unconvinced and turbulent salt merchant in front of him, and said slowly.

"Take him and go to the warehouse on the other side." Now that he has taken down the smugglers, he must have raided their warehouses.

Hearing this, the salt merchant on the side laughed for no reason, and the smile was very inexplicable.

Xiao Yu'an didn't know what the salt merchant meant at this time.

When they arrived on the other side, all the officers and soldiers were shocked by the warehouse in front of them, and deep in the dense forest, these salt traders had unknowingly built such a large salt warehouse here.

The officers and soldiers stepped forward and opened the door of the salt storehouse, revealing the scene inside.

However, there was no mountain of salt bags as everyone imagined, it was empty.

"My lord, there's nothing in it." The officers and soldiers took a look at the inside, went to Xiao Yu'an's side, and informed Xiao Yu'an of the situation inside.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'an turned his head and glanced at the salt merchant on the side, and he finally understood what the salt merchant's smile meant.

He walked into the warehouse with his feet up, and looked inside, only the salt grains scattered on the ground announced what it was in.

Xiao Yu'an stood in place, without saying a word, he should have thought of it a long time ago.

The people who followed them before were killed because they were exposed, and it was only a matter of time before they moved these goods, and today they are not expected to trade, but to transfer these illicit salts.

After figuring out all this, Xiao Yu'an walked out, he glanced at the smug salt merchant with a cold face, and said coldly, "Take it back." ”

The group was mighty but pounced, and could only return with a feather.

After bringing the salt merchant back, Xiao Yu'an sent him to prison, and the officers and soldiers who had not slept all night were finally able to go back and sleep well.

At this time, Xiao Yu'an took Lin Ya to the prison and interrogated the arrested salt merchant.

"Tell me, what's your name?" Xiao Yu'an sat on the chair, and Lin Ya beside him looked at the salt merchant who was tied to the pillar and asked.

"Liu Jin."

"How long have you been smuggling salt grain?"

"Seven or eight years."

"Who is the person above you, and how do you contact each other on a daily basis? Where did all the salt in the warehouse go? Lin Ya asked a bunch of questions to the salt merchant at once.

Hearing this, Liu Jin laughed for no reason, "Do you think I will tell you?" ”

"When you get here, you have to say it, and you have to say it if you don't say it." Lin Ya looked at his defiant smile and couldn't wait to go and rip off his skin immediately.

"Really? Are you scared when Lao Tzu? "Liu Jin obviously doesn't eat Lin Ya's threat.

Lin Ya angrily wanted to rush over and beat him directly, but Xiao Yu'an didn't speak.

"As long as I can't die, whatever you want, I just need to get the answer I want." Xiao Yu'an remembered that the two dead soldiers who were killed by Liu Jin and them had no mercy for Liu Jin at all, he stood up, and after saying such a sentence coldly, he handed Liu Jin over to Lin Ya to dispose of.

As soon as Xiao Yu'an walked out of the prison door, Liu Jin's screams came from inside, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

Gu Mansion

Early in the morning, Gu Wanchao got up from the bed, she thought about being kidnapped over and over again at night, and she couldn't sleep.

She sat in front of the vanity mirror, letting Xia He and Chun Tao keep tinkering with her head.

"I'm going to go out later, Chun Tao, you ask the little guy to prepare a carriage for me."

Finally finished freshening up, Gu Wanchao sat at the table and ate Fang Cai Chuntao's porridge, and Chong Chuntao said this.

"Yes, miss."

About two quarters of an hour later, Gu Wanchao went out this time.

The carriage was already waiting at the door, and she got into it.

"Go to the Judgment Mansion." Yesterday, Xiao Yu'an came desperately to save her, and injured so many dead soldiers, she always felt that it was very insincere to simply say "thank you", so she decided to come to the door to thank her in person, and by the way, visit those injured teenagers.

At this time, after Xiao Yu'an got the result of Lin Ya's interrogation, he entered the palace with Liu Jin's signature and detainment, and his carriage happened to pass by Gu Wanchao.

"Your Majesty, the Jingfu has sentenced Lord Xiao to ask to see you." In the palace, the princes and princes beside the emperor preached to the emperor who was reviewing the recitals.

"Let him in." The emperor didn't raise his head and said a word.

"Xuanjing Mansion sentenced Xiao Yu'an to meet him." As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the prince shouted at the top of his voice.

Xiao Yu'an, who was outside the door, walked in in an official uniform.

"Chen Xiao Yu'an has seen Your Majesty." Xiao Yu'an knelt in the center.

"No courtesy, Xiao Aiqing arrived in the palace so early, but what's the matter?" As he spoke, the emperor glanced at Xiao Yu'an, who stood up.

"Your Majesty, yesterday the minister arrested a smuggler of salt, and after interrogation, the other party has confessed." As he spoke, Xiao Yu'an handed over the letter to the prince and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor took the hand handed by the prince, and it was still stained with Liu Jin's blood.

"Are you sure the message is accurate?" After the emperor glanced at it, he raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yu'an in disbelief.

"At the beginning, this Liu Jin said that he didn't let go of anything, and after the minister tortured him, Liu Jin recruited all this, at this time, it was not trivial, and the minister did not dare to act rashly."

Xiao Yu'an did not answer positively whether what was written on the emperor's charge was right or not, after all, it came out of Liu Jin's mouth, and he couldn't be sure if it was true.

When the emperor heard Xiao Yu'an's words, he naturally knew what Xiao Yu'an meant, and he put the charges aside.

"Check, at all costs, I want you to find out all the people involved." As soon as these words came out, the emperor undoubtedly gave Xiao Yu'an the right to investigate the case.

"Minister, obey the order." Xiao Yu'an knelt down and stood up again after receiving the order, he had already achieved the purpose of entering the palace and slowly retreated.

"Who's coming?" In front of the gate of the Tongju Mansion, the officers and soldiers at the gate stopped Gu Wanchao.

"As soon as I was tired of reporting, I said that Gu Wanchao had something to find Lord Xiao." Gu Wanchao looked at the knife in front of her, she took a step back, and said kindly to the officers and soldiers.

Hearing this, the officer and soldier looked Gu Wanchao up and down. After putting the knife back, he glanced at the officers and soldiers on the opposite side and motioned for him to go and pass the word.

After a while, the officers and soldiers walked out with Lin Ya, "I don't know that the county lord of Jianing came to the door, Lin Ya has missed the distance, and I hope the county lord will not blame." ”

"It's okay, what about your family?" Gu Wanchao came to thank me Xiao Yu'an for saving her life, and now she just wants to know if Xiao Yu'an is there.
