Chapter 85: Heading to Jingzhou
"Big brother, how is the investigation?" Zhou Li came to the private house again and asked about the results of the boss's investigation of the four traitors of Gu.
"I asked people to check, these four people are indeed merchants from the capital." The boss sat in the main seat and told the results of the investigation.
Hearing this, Zhou Li exchanged glances with a few people, "Since there is no problem, do this business or not?" ”
After all, there are so many people here, and you have to ask everyone's opinions, so Zhou Li asked everyone.
"Let's do it, I haven't encountered this kind of injustice for many years, and there will be no such shop in this village." One of them turned to face the boss and said.
"I think so, since someone is sending us money, why not?" Another person spoke.
"In that case, the minority obeys the majority, and one vote is big!" The boss saw that most of the people who agreed to do this business with Gu traitors, so he agreed to this matter.
Three days later, Zhou Li found Gu Traitor again, and Gu Traitor was eating in the restaurant at this time.
"Big brother, didn't you say you were short of salt the other day?" Zhou Li looked around cautiously, and then lowered his voice and said.
Hearing this, the four of them raised their heads and looked at Zhou Li in front of them, waiting for his next step.
"I've got some salt there, and I'll sell it to you if you want it." Zhou directly explained his intentions straight to the point, and when he heard him say that he was there, the four of them all raised their eyes to look at Zhou Li.
Gu Wanchao deliberately shouted, "Really? That's great. ”
When she made a sound, she almost scared Zhou Li out of the way, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth, looked left and right, and cast an embarrassed smile on the crowd watching here.
"Girl, be quiet." Zhou Li turned his head to look at Gu Wanchao and whispered.
Looking at Zhou Li's reaction, the four of them naturally knew in their hearts, if he was really a serious salt merchant, would he be so sneaky?
"Why, could it be that you have a problem with salt? Can't let people know? Gu Wanchao also deliberately lowered his voice and leaned in front of Zhou Li, with a puzzled expression.
"How is it possible, don't worry, my salt is all officially sealed." Zhou Li heard Gu Wanchao say that there was a problem with his salt, and quickly explained that the salt bags were printed with official seals.
This was out of the surprise of the four people, they originally thought that Zhou Li was here to sell illicit salt, but they didn't expect that Zhou Li's salt actually had an official seal?
Since he has an official seal, why would he be so sneaky in business? Isn't it possible that these salt were robbed by the mountain bandits?
The four of them looked at each other, and Gu Traitor raised his eyes to look at Zhou Li, "Since Little Brother Zhou said that this salt is no problem, then we naturally want it, and this price is ......."
After all, there is hardly much salt in the city now, and the price of salt in Zhou Li's hand is naturally going to be raised, and Gu Traitor is still clear about this.
"One percent more than the market price." Zhou Li said the price.
It's just a high one, and he can be regarded as having a conscience.
"Okay, I'm in a hurry anyway, when will I be able to pick up the goods?" Now that Gu Traitor still has the title of being stupid and having a lot of money on his head, he naturally has to deal with it.
As for the other three, just be a quiet child who doesn't know how to trade business.
"Five days later."
"Ten days later, we still need to buy some other things, it may take some time, and I don't have a place to put it after the goods are delivered in advance." Gu Traitor changed the delivery time to ten days later.
Hearing this, Zhou Li readily agreed, he felt that the business had already been negotiated anyway, and it was naturally not bad for a few days.
Subsequently, Zhou Li left the restaurant and returned to the room with the three of them.
"Now the salt in Zhou Li's hand has an official seal, which proves that it is not private salt, even if we catch Zhou Li selling salt at a high price, there is no way to convict him, the price of this salt is tacitly determined by everyone, and there is no standard, he is immoral at most, and there is no crime at all."
In the room, Li Yin thought about what Zhou Li said, and said his thoughts.
"That's right, we don't know where he got these official salts, but we can check the salt in his hand, if not, we can also punish the crime."
"The purpose of our coming here is to arrest the smuggler of salt, if Zhou Li and the others are arrested in advance, I am afraid that they will startle the snake, not to mention that I don't know whether this prefect is an enemy or a friend."
Xiao Yu'an took Li Yin's words and said, if they want to arrest people, they naturally have to borrow troops from the government, but now the prefect doesn't know whether it is a person or a ghost, and whether this soldier can be borrowed is still a question.
"Don't worry, I've already thought of a countermeasure for this, and I'll wait for the secret guard who followed the bandits to send a message back tomorrow to see what the situation is, and then I'll consider borrowing troops at that time."
Gu Traitor Chen answered Xiao Yu'an's doubts.
"Okay, the people I sent to follow Zhou Li should have discovered their lair, but whether the salt is in it still needs to be investigated in depth."
After Xiao Yu'an got Gu Traitor's answer, he informed the three of them of the news that the secret guard had found before.
After analyzing the current situation again, the three of them returned to their rooms.
Subsequently, the guards left Kyoto with the letter, and rushed to Jiangling along the way, and the people sent by Li Yu were still behind, and they were late after about a day.
The guards entered the Jiangling Mansion with the letter, and Wu Cheng was frightened the moment he saw the letter, and sat down at the table with his legs weak.
"Okay, I know, I'm tired of telling Her Royal Highness the eldest princess that Wu Cheng will do his best to suppress this matter." After Wu Cheng made up his mind, he raised his head and said to the guard in front of him.
"Okay, then the subordinate will take his leave."
Afterwards, the guards left the palace.
