Huo Guang thought that he had caused trouble for Huo Zhongru, but he didn't expect Huo Zhongru to be even more excited than him, so he looked around Huo Guang and asked, "Where is the injury?" ”

"On the other side's head."

"Then I'll have to settle accounts with him, let's go."

Huo Zhongru brought all the manpower, and the regular county officials could carry knives, unlike the stick gang, which could only carry wooden sticks on the surface.

Huo Guang thought about it, this is also right, my Han Dynasty is so strong, full of martial virtues, sit down and let's poems, books, rituals and music, stand with our Han top five hu, hoes can dig the ground and do wars.

"Give me some spirit, the stick gang dares to move my son, today is not over with them, be careful not to pull out the knife, scare the lord, I tell you to pull it out again."

"Yes!"

Huo Zhongru finished arranging things and took people to the riverside wharf.

As the second largest tributary of the Yellow River, Fenshui runs through the county seat of Hedong County and is an important water resource, and the relatively calm flow of the river has also become an important transportation road for the Shang Gang.

The Stick Gang is right next to the dock in Xiahe County.

Huo Zhongru came to a dock warehouse-type building with a familiar car, and kicked in the door.

bang

As the door was kicked open, the sunlight spilled into the warehouse, and the dust drifted softly under the warm light of ginger, and Huo Zhongru walked in.

"Ahem, what about Zhang Er."

Zhang Erer, who was bandaging his head in the warehouse, was about to settle accounts with Huo Guang and the others, but he didn't expect Huo Zhongru to lead people to kill them first.

They already knew the news of Huo Zhongru's promotion, and they also knew Huo Guang, but they didn't expect that the salt shop was going to be opened by Huo Guang, and they wanted to warn them before.

The people don't fight with the officials, and they naturally understand this truth better, Huo Zhongru was just a county official, and he had to shout Brother Huo, but now that he has been promoted, Zhang Erer has to pay a smile to greet him.

"Brother Huo, what kind of wind blew you here today, I heard that you were promoted and I still want to visit you."

Huo Zhongru raised his hand and turned in a circle and said, "You turn in a circle." ”

"Huh?"

"Ah what, Huo Shaofu told you to turn around, and you will turn around." The little official beside Huo Zhongru glared angrily at Zhang Erer.

Zhang Erer immediately confessed, turned around, Huo Zhongru raised his foot and kicked Zhang Erer's buttocks, making him fall and eat shit.

Zhang Erer got up and accompanied by a smiling face: "What is Brother Huo doing so much?" It's all a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding, and I didn't know that the kid who stole the salt was your person, and he also had a misunderstanding with Ah Guang. ”

"Misunderstanding? Bullied my son, you still said it was a misunderstanding, I think you are bold and want to rebel, bring all of them back to me, take them to the county governor's mansion, I want the county lieutenant to interrogate them well, which of these guys has no problem. Huo Zhongru was furious and ordered to arrest people.

"Brother Huo, Brother Huo, don't don't, we know it's wrong, we know it's wrong, and I didn't hit Ah Guang, and I was broken by Ah Guang."

"What's wrong with breaking your head? You should fight. ”

"Brother Huo, we know that we are wrong, we will never dare again in the future, you don't remember the villain, spare us this time."

Zhang Erer and the others begged for mercy, Huo Zhongru glanced at Huo Guang and A Hao, and then said: "If you beat, you have to lose money, Zhang Erer will go with me, and the others will spare you once, tell you to help the master, and bring money to ransom people." ”

Without saying a word, a few people dragged Zhang Erer to the Shaofu Courtyard, and Huo Guang suddenly felt that he had really become the second generation of officials.

The younger brothers are going to find someone, Huo Guang looked at Huo Zhongru along the way, and suddenly thought that Huo Zhongru was going to use his own incident this time to burn the three fires of the new official taking office, just to establish his official authority.

quite praised Huo Zhongru and said to Huo Zhongru more than this thumbs: "Father, your tricks are high." ”

"What's the move?" Huo Zhongru looked puzzled.

"It's just to use this incident to establish official authority, and the other party is the salt gang, just ask them to come to the Shaofu Courtyard to prepare for you to manage the salt tax in the future, and it is really high to kill two birds with one stone."

Huo Zhongru was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized: "Oh~, it turns out that it can be like this, that's right, just do it, I'll scare him when their helper comes." ”

Huo Guang was dumbfounded: "Father, didn't you mean that?" ”

"What do you mean, it's just that they are in charge of the money to lose some money, these salt sellers are the richest, and they must not be allowed to shed some blood."

Well, it's me thinking too much, but things are really going in this direction.

Not long after they went back, a fat man dressed as a rich man came in with two things wrapped in cloth bags, and said with a smile: "Brother Huo, Huo Shaofu, it's been a long time, I don't know if you're promoted, you really should be beaten, you should be beaten." He greeted him with a smile, and gently twitched the dough with his own hand as he spoke.

The person who came was the leader of the Stick Gang, Zhu Youcai, who was called a wild boar by the people of the rivers and lakes.

Don't look at Zhu Youcai's smile and good negotiability, when he was young, he relied on the family business that he could fight hard, his family name was Zhu and his name was unknown, everyone called him a wild boar, and later he made a fortune and named himself Zhu Youcai, in his forties.

"Lao Zhu, how do you care about your subordinates now, I used to make trouble on the street with people, and now I come to beat my son again."

Zhu Youcai was still full of smiles, and naturally put the things he brought on Huo Zhongru's table: "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, I heard about it, Zhang Erer is not sensible, I will take it back later to teach a lesson, I won't work Brother Huo to do it, it is better to settle the dispute, your guy came to my warehouse before, and gave me a stuffy stick without saying a word, I was eating at the time, and I was about to faint, this time Brother Huo, you can see the matter." ”

Huo Zhongru spoke: "Your stick gang is getting more and more disagreeable, my son wants to open a salt shop, but you still don't let it, and the salt is under your control." ”

"You care, you care, this is needless to say, it must be under Huo Shaofu's control, Zhang Erer They just knew that someone was going to open a salt shop, so they came to talk about business, you also know, the salt in these ten miles and eight towns was brought in by our sticks, so the salt shop is my customer, so Huo Gongzi will still buy salt from me in the future, and I will give you a discount."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youcai's voice became smaller and said: "Brother Huo, how many years have we been in a relationship, you just took over some things in Shaofu, brother, I have to make it clear to you, Ah Guang is okay to open a salt shop, as long as you take salt from me, don't walk by yourself, we don't matter, I lose a little and make some money, we are all friendships, but don't blame me for not reminding me, selling salt is not a trivial matter, you still have to take care of the few backstage people who sell salt in the county, so as not to cause unpleasantness." ”

"Hahaha." After Zhu Youcai finished speaking, he started haha: "Brother Huo, I am a ship runner, and I have been walking this way for so many years, just for the county, a few errands in the county, to earn some hard-earned money, please understand." ”

Huo Zhongru didn't understand very much, Huo Guang heard about it, that is to say, Zhu Youcai's salt gang did the work of transporting salt, which was transported here from the origin or upstream dealers, and distributed to the salt shop, which was a wholesaler.

However, he has the advanced business philosophy of not grabbing retail customers with his own customers, and undertakes the more difficult and complicated transportation links, so the bosses with sales qualifications in the county are willing to let him go big.

"Gang Master Zhu, there is a difference between the salt I sell and your salt." Saying that, Huo Guang took out the little salt he left behind, and let Sang Jin take most of it, leaving only a small can.

Looking at the white and crystal salt, Zhu Youcai looked at Huo Guang with some puzzlement.

"My goods are much purer than yours."

Zhu Youcai's face was a little angry, and he looked at Huo Guang.
