When the people next to them heard this, they thought it was incredible, how could they just promulgate the law one second, and lead troops to arrest people the next second.

And the discerning person knew at a glance that Xu Ji Salt Shop was targeted.

That's right, this official has already been angry with Gongsun Li, so now it is clear that he is targeting Xu Ji Salt Shop.

Looking at the menacing officers and soldiers, Hao Yue snorted coldly: "Why are you arresting people indiscriminately? We're not breaking any rules. ”

The officers and soldiers pulled out their sabers at their waists with a loud voice: "Why? Can't you understand people? It's up to you to sell salt! ”

Shen Yinxing hooked his lips and smiled: "What about the evidence?" Do you have any evidence that we sell table salt? ”

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they felt that Shen Yinxing's mind was in a pulp, and pointed at Shen Yinxing's nose and shouted, "Evidence? Are you all blind when we are? It's all stolen and captured, and you still don't admit your guilt? ”

"You slut, you know the law and break the law, and you still don't admit your guilt to death, and the crime is added to one degree!" The officer leading the troops picked up the bamboo tube salt on the table and cursed.

"Hehe, joke, who said that the bamboo tube is salt?" Haoyue sneered, then picked up a tube of bamboo salt and poured it on the hands of a passer-by.

The passer-by subconsciously dipped his hand in a little, then put it in his mouth to taste it, and then said with a surprised face: "This is sweet!" It's sugar, not salt! ”

"Huh? What? When the official heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly rushed to the table, and then tasted each tube of bamboo salt one by one.

Sweet! Sweet! Sweet! It's still sweet!

What's going on? What's going on? The heads of the officials are already piled with question marks.

Why is it not salt in this bamboo tube, why is it all sugar?

"Hehe, I forgot to tell you something", Hao Yue said and shook out a new flag from the burden behind her, only to see that the flag had four big characters written on it: Xu Ji Sugar Shop.

Haoyue: "Our shop, from now on, we will not sell salt, we Xu Ji Salt Shop, changed to Xu Ji Sugar Shop." ”

"What!" When the official heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief, what was going on, how could it be so coincidental that Xu Ji actually changed to selling sugar today? How can he take people now?

"Isn't that a surprise? Pleasantly surprised? Haoyue smiled and looked at the stunned officials of the Criminal Department.

That's right, the eyes and ears that Yuan Fatzi planted in Gongsun's house reported to them last night.

So they knew early on that today the Criminal Department would promulgate the salt law and then take this opportunity to take people.

So Haoyue made a plan, bought a large number of crystal sugar cubes overnight, and grinded the sugar cubes into the size of white salt and put them in a bamboo tube.

Seeing that there was a pounce, the official's face was blue and white, and he wanted to have a seizure, but he couldn't help it.

Seeing that the official could only endure and secretly eat deflated, Haoyue was in a good mood, and then made a grimace at him.

Oops, I just like the way you can't get used to me and you can't help me.

Haoyue waved the banner of the Xu Ji Sugar Shop in her hand: "Hehe, today our Xu Ji Sugar Shop opened on the first day, and all the bamboo tubes of candy in the venue are sold at half price, everyone is welcome to buy them!" ”

At this time, a voice came from the crowd: "Your family will not sell salt from now on, so we can only eat sea salt?" ”

Haoyue nodded: "Yes, Da Yuan won't let us sell salt, but if you want to eat bamboo tube salt, we can sell you the recipe for boiling salt, and then you can cook it yourself at home." ”

Hao Yue sang and harmonized with the group performance that had been arranged a long time ago, taking advantage of the large number of onlookers to bring out today's highlight event.

When the people next to them heard this, they were instantly excited, oh my God, the recipe for boiling salt!

Haoyue: "Our family's salt is extracted from saline-alkali land, as long as the boiling method is appropriate, the boiled salt is white and tastes good, and it will not be poisoned if you eat it." ”

When everyone heard this, they exploded in an instant.

"This salt can be extracted directly in the saline-alkali land?"

"Oh my God, there's such a thing! How much does your salt recipe cost? I buy I buy! ”

"I'm going to buy it too!"

"Me too, me too! I buy it no matter how much it is! ”

Nowadays, the price of salt is so expensive, it is still a scarce item, if you can make it at home, wouldn't it save a lot of money!

Salt is not allowed to sell, then I can always boil salt at home and eat it, it's really beautiful to think about!

The onlookers were all excited, wanting to buy a way to boil salt.

When the officers and soldiers next to him heard this, their jaws also dropped to the ground.

Don't let them sell salt, they actually sell the recipe for boiling salt?

How can it still be like this!

"What? Aren't you leaving? Da Yuan is not allowed to sell sugar and salt recipes? Haoyue shouted at the officers and soldiers who were using the pestle as a flagpole on the side.

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, leaving or staying, who would have thought that this would be the case?

"Humph!" The official who took the lead snorted coldly, even if he was unwilling, he couldn't do anything now, so he waved his sleeves and led the troops away.

"Hey, hey, do you still sell salt recipes? I'm going to buy I'm going to buy! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I want it too!"

"How do you sell this salt recipe?"

The crowd gathered in front of the shop was extremely enthusiastic, and it can be described as a loud crowd.

Haoyue cleared her throat: "Everyone be quiet, we will auction the salt boiling method by bidding today, and the one with the highest price will win." ”

As soon as I heard that it was a bidding model, the crowd in front of the shop was all gearing up and eager to try, of course, how many of them were group performances is unknown.

"I'll give three hundred taels!"

"I'll give five hundred taels!"

"I'll give you a thousand taels!"

"I'll give three thousand taels!"

The price of boiling salt recipes is getting higher and higher, and the more outrageous it is, the competition has reached a white-hot stage.

At this moment, Yuan Fatzi, who had been sitting next to him watching the play, said in an astonishing voice: "I will give 20 million taels of silver!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the front of the paving with loud voices was silent for an instant.

Everyone plucked out their ears, and then looked at the fat man in a daze, 20 million taels? Did I hear me right?

The second housekeeper hiding in the shadows also rubbed his eyes, what? This fat man actually paid 20 million taels to buy a recipe for boiling salt?

Belch? Wait a minute? Why is this fat man a little familiar?

Soon, the second housekeeper recognized this fat man as the twenty-ninth son of King Yuan.

"I'll buy you 20 million taels of salt, but you are not allowed to sell it to others, let's make a note."

After speaking, the fat man arrogantly slapped the 20 million taels of silver tickets on the table.

"Okay, this guest is refreshing!" Hazy Moon smiled and arched her hand at him, handing him a note after finishing the note.

"This is the method of boiling soil salt, if this guest does not understand anything during the operation, he can come directly to ask, we are on call."

Yuan Fatzi finally got the method of boiling salt, and his face was happy with a capital letter, and then he deliberately raised the recipe in his hand, walked through the crowd with great force, and walked towards the outside of the market with eight square steps.

Oops! The method of boiling soil and salt was obtained by the royal family!

The second housekeeper who was hiding in the shadows saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ran back to Gongsun Mansion.

After the second housekeeper left, Xu Jia, who had been watching him in the crowd, immediately gestured to Haoyue.

Hazy Moon nodded, signaling that she already knew.

In fact, the scene just now was made for the second housekeeper to see, and it was also Haoyue's idea to let people raise the price of the salt party.

Because the higher the price, the greater the momentum, the more people know about it, and the more favorable it will be for what follows.

At the same time, it can also make the second housekeeper believe that there is no connection between Yuan Fatzi and the Xu family.

As for replacing the salt in the bamboo tube with sugar, first, Haoyue thinks it is funny, and secondly, it can attract more onlookers.

Gongsun Mansion was not far from the market, so in less than half an hour, the second housekeeper ran into the mansion of Gongsun Mansion.

At this time, Gongsun Li was teasing a budgie in front of the hall, looking like he was in a good mood.

"The head of the house! Head of the house! Oh no! The second housekeeper heard his voice before he saw him.

"You bad thing, what's wrong?" Gongsun Li raised his head and scolded angrily: "You only say this sentence every day? Bad luck that only brings bad news back. ”

At this time, Gongsun Li had a stinky face, took a cup of tea and sat on the chair: "Say, what bad news did you bring back?" Didn't work out today? ”

The second housekeeper said with a bitter face: "No, no, today Xu Ji Salt Shop has changed to selling sugar, and the people in the Criminal Department are empty, and they can't arrest people."

"What!" Gongsun Li shouted after hearing this: "Why did they suddenly stop selling salt, and how could it happen to be today!" ”

The second housekeeper lowered his head, and his voice trembled a little: "This villain doesn't know. Maybe it's just a coincidence."

The trembling second housekeeper said again: "But the master of the family, this is not the point, the point is that today they openly sold the recipe for boiling salt, and then the recipe for boiling salt was bought by King Yuan's twenty-nine sons at a high price."

"What! Darn! Gongsun Li's lungs were about to explode at this time, so he picked up the tea cup next to him and smashed it on the head of the second housekeeper.

The hot tea burned half of the second butler's face red, but even so, he didn't dare to say a word more.

"If the recipe for boiling soil and salt is known to the royal family, how can our Gongsun family gain a foothold?" Gongsun Li jumped down from his chair and walked around the room in a hurry.

If this recipe for boiling soil and salt spreads, their profits from sea salt will plummet in the future, and saline-alkali soil is easy to obtain.

"How long has it been?" Gongsun Li pressed the indignation in his heart and asked.

Second butler: "Homecoming, less than a quarter of an hour." ”

"Less than a quarter of an hour, less than a quarter of an hour, there's still time." Gongsun Li's eyes wiped a wisp of murderous intent: "King Yuan's twenty-nine sons are not very favored, but there are some family backgrounds on the mother's side, I'm afraid he just wants to gain the approval of His Majesty King Yuan by offering salt recipes." ”

The second butler stepped forward and asked, "So, what should we do?" ”

Gongsun Li snorted coldly: "An unfavored prince is like an ant on the side of the road, trampled to death, and no one will find out." ”

"Now, you immediately go and contact the shadows in the family, and ask them to kill the twenty-ninth son before he enters the palace, and the Xu family must also kill them all!"

After speaking, Gongsun Li took out a purple wooden plaque from his arms, which was a letter from the Gongsun family to mobilize the shadow.

The second housekeeper took the wooden sign with trembling hands: "Family master, is there no better way to do this, murdering the prince is a big crime to kill the head!" ”

"Bastard, what are you afraid of? Our Gongsun family started by selling illicit salt, which one didn't lick blood from the knife? An unfavored prince, if he kills, he will be killed, and he will not attract attention, so he will do it cleanly! ”

Gongsun Li's eyes were already full of bloodshot at this time, and he longed for these people who stood in his way to his wealth to die.

The second housekeeper had no choice but to arch his hand: "No! ”

The second housekeeper took the cards in his hand, and rushed to the back mountain, where a group of dead soldiers of the Gongsun family were raised, which was a sharp knife left by the old family owner to Gongsun Li.

This group of dead soldiers was only transferred from the southeast island not long ago, because Gongsun Li felt that Hebei was not very stable, so he sent people over early to defend himself, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

The second housekeeper has been a slave raised in the Gongsun family since he was a child, so he is loyal to the Gongsun calendar.

He walked through the cloister with his hand, walked through the pool, bypassed the rockery, and was about to run to the back mountain where the Dark Guard was hiding, but was intercepted by a dark shadow on the way.

The second housekeeper saw the person who stopped in front of him, and his face was shocked: "You, why are you here?" Shouldn't you be in Erlitun at this time? ”

At this time, it was no one else who stopped in front of him, it was the great butler of the head of the Gongsun family.

He was supposed to take a team of soldiers to arrest the people in the Xu family's camp now, but at this time he appeared in the Gongsun Mansion.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

The second housekeeper's eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of something, pointed at him and screamed, "It's you!" You were the one who leaked the rumors! So today, Xu Ji Salt Shop does not sell salt! ”

The chief butler nodded, and then stared at him with blazing eyes: "Yes, it's a pity that you know too late." ”

"You are. Who are you the eyes and ears of the house? The second butler shuddered and shouted.

The big butler raised a finger to his mouth: "Shhh Be quiet, you will alarm the head of the house like this, and the head of the house should be angry again. ”

"You, you." As soon as the second butler wanted to say something, a sharp knife stabbed him directly into the throat.

The chief butler's movements were so fast that the second butler didn't have time to react at all, and he didn't even see the afterimage of the knife swinging.

The sharp knife was stained with blood, going in and out in the front and back, directly cutting through the second butler's trachea and stabbing him in the throat.

The second butler kept his eyes open, and then collapsed with a bang.

Then, the chief butler quickly dragged the body of the second butler into the artificial cave, and then searched for the purple token from him.

The chief butler tossed the purple token in his hand, and then turned into a streamer and swept into the back mountain.

In an ancient castle in the back mountain, there are fifty shadow dead soldiers of the Gongsun family.

They have always only looked at the token action, not who it is.

"Come with me, the head of the Gongsun family has an order, we are going to kill someone." The Grand Butler took out the purple token and shook it in front of everyone's eyes.

When dozens of shadow dead men saw the token, they knelt down one after another, shouting in a uniform voice: "We obey the orders of the Lord, and we will never give up!" ”

The big butler smiled: "Very good! And now, I command you"

Thank you for the recommendation of the treasures, it's the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass~
