"This lord, you are not a local!"

Xiao Er's face showed a look of surprise.

He looked Yu Xiaoyu up and down, as if he were looking at an extremely rare object.

Yu Xiaoyu seemed to notice Xiao Er's abnormality, he coughed lightly, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

"Well, I heard from a few friends who are in business that the price of grain here is cheap, so I thought I would come and collect some grain......"

Hearing Yu Xiaoyu's explanation, the doubts on Xiao Er's face instantly dissipated a lot.

"Hey, this master, if you think so, then this time it's really a trip for nothing!"

"Your business friend, I guess I haven't been to our Snow Peak Town for many years, right?"

When Yu Xiaoyu heard this, a glint flashed in his eyes, but on the surface, he pretended to be stunned.

"What? Isn't your Xuefeng Town a famous grain town in ten miles and eight townships, why do you say that I will run for nothing this time? ”

"Alas, it seems that your friend, uncle, is indeed not very reliable."

Xiao Er sighed lightly and continued:

"Now our Xuefeng Town is no longer as good as before!"

"You're here to buy food, but haven't you noticed that there is an endless stream of carriages in our town?"

When Yu Xiaoyu heard this, he was a little more sure in his heart, but on the surface, he looked puzzled.

"What do you mean by that? You don't mean to tell me that these wagons are full of grain, do you? ”

"That's right!"

Xiao Er nodded vigorously, with a strange look on his face.

"In our Xuefeng Town, since the beginning of the previous year, there have been people buying grain in large quantities. And as long as the price is reasonable, no matter how much food there is, they can eat it all! ”

"Every time it is a large-scale purchase, although our Xuefeng Town is a famous grain township in ten miles and eight townships, it also supplies a lot."

"So later, grain merchants in many places also learned the news, so they sent grain to our Xuefeng Town for sale."

Speaking of this, Xiao Er glanced at Yu Xiaoyu sympathetically,

"So this lord, the food in our Xuefeng Town is more expensive than outside. You've come back for nothing! ”

When Yu Xiaoyu heard him say this, his heart was simply happy.

But on the surface, there was a depressed look.

"Come on, listen to what you mean, master, I'm running for nothing this time!"

"Damn, going around in this big circle, the result is in vain!"

He sighed deeply, and when Xiao Er saw this, he shook his head helplessly, and was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly grabbed by Yu Xiaoyu's arm from behind.

"This little brother, don't be in a hurry to leave!"

Yu Xiaoyu said, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, and stuffed them into Xiao Er's hands.

Seeing this, Xiao Er immediately smiled.

"This master, what else do you want, even if you put it forward, the little one must know everything, and he will say everything."

"Hey, actually, it's nothing!"

Yu Xiaoyu scratched his head, and then pretended to be helpless and said:

"Actually, I came here this time, and I also brought a lot of silver, thinking that I could make some hard-earned money by making such a trip."

"The wife and children at home are all counting on me alone. So I don't want to ask my little brother, are there any other livelihoods in our town? ”

Seeing Yu Xiaoyu's generous move, Xiao Er hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:

"In fact, there are a lot of business opportunities in our town. Merely...... The doorway here is very deep, and you're afraid that a foreigner will ......."

Seeing this, Yu Xiaoyu hurriedly patted Xiao Er's shoulder and said:

"Little brother, don't worry, as long as you show me a clear way, I promise that I will not forget your kindness."

Xiao Er thought for a moment again, and there was a struggle between his eyebrows, but in the end he nodded, lowered his voice and said:

"The guest understands, the villain understands. In fact, to tell you the truth, our business in Xuefeng Town seems to be booming, but in fact, there is only one buyer behind it. ”

"So you bring the silver, and you can't earn it at all."

Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked around vigilantly, and after seeing that no one noticed him, he continued to suppress his voice:

"To tell you the truth, the big boss also frequents our inn."

"I heard that they seem to be short of some salt cubes lately, but they have been suffering from the fact that no one dares to do it."

"Salt cubes?"

Yu Xiaoyu was a little stunned, because he couldn't figure out that the dignified Blood Jade Alliance, a force that had to go sideways in the Jiangnan region, would be short of salt!

In the Jiangnan territory, although the four major families have always been very stuck in salt and iron, but in their hands, each family has several salt mines.

The Blood Jade Alliance has a lot to do with them, how can they be short of salt?

Could it be ...... The actions of the Blood Jade Alliance in this place are secret, and even the four major families don't know about it?

Yu Xiaoyu's heart jumped, and he faintly noticed a trace of abnormality.

But on the surface, he pretended to be embarrassed.

"Little brother, this salt and iron are the business of those four families, if we ordinary people touch this thing, I'm afraid we will be killed!"

When Xiao Er heard this, he immediately nodded and said:

"What your guest said is true, this lump of salt is indeed not so easy to handle."

"But have you ever thought that if it is something that is easy to do, this local merchant has already supplied all of it, where will you have this opportunity to drink soup?"

"You have a point."

Yu Xiaoyu nodded, and his guess became more and more certain in his mind.

Xiao Er just arched his hand at him, and seeing that he didn't react, he turned around and went to serve the guests at the next table.

At the dinner table, Liu Erzhuang obviously didn't have much appetite.

In the past two days, following Yang Dong, he has heard a lot of news about the Blood Jade Alliance.

Then he realized that the villains who caught him in the same village were so big! It is not even inferior to the four old families in Jiangnan.

But now this Blood Jade Alliance is secretly carrying out such a cruel experiment behind the back of the four major families.

What the hell are these crazy people trying to do?

Different from Liu Erzhuang's thoughts, Yu Xiaoyu's mind at the moment was full of how to get involved.

Salt is indeed a commodity controlled by the government, but this so-called "control" naturally does not affect the West Factory.

Therefore, Yu Xiaoyu had a complete choice, brought a batch of salt cubes, and sent them to the mouth of the Blood Jade Alliance.

But...... Wouldn't that be too deliberate?

If the other party's vigilance is aroused, maybe the gains outweigh the losses!

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up, did not look at the food on the table, and said:

"Shopkeeper, check out!"

Xiao Er, who was still a talented man, hurried over with a smile on his face.

He looked at the dishes on the wooden table, which didn't move much chopsticks, and wondered:

"Two guest officers, have you eaten enough?"
