Chapter 163: Crooked Strikes
"Why do you say this Shen Yishi is hiding it from us?"
He Maocai said, pouring a glass of wine for Zheng Michang.
"Hmph, there is no need to say it, I must be afraid that we are worried about his little property!"
Zheng Michang drank all the wine in the cup, and his face was full of disdain.
"Hmph, these merchants are the most treacherous! On weekdays, what is the benefit of our brothers, but we have never forgotten him Shen Yishi, but now, he is playing this game with us. ”
"The ancients often said that only women and villains are difficult to raise their ears, I see, this Shen Yishi is a villain who is alive!"
After He Mao finished speaking, he added a sentence next.
"That's right, I've seen it since the last meeting, when I mentioned the property confiscated from the Wen family, this Shen Yishi's saliva was about to flow out!"
Zheng Michang said, put down the wine glass, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.
"You say, should we report this matter to the elders? This Shen Yishi is not very honest during this time, and now it is a critical moment to change rice to mulberry, and he must not make a mess! ”
"Otherwise, when the time comes, the elders will investigate it, and we will just not be able to eat and leave."
He Maocai thought for a long time before slowly speaking to Zheng Michang.
"That's fine, but for what reason?"
Zheng Bichang rubbed his chin and thought about the corresponding wording in his mind.
"This is not simple, let's just say that this Shen Yishi has not been honest recently, and he is suspected of being involved in the sale of illicit salt!"
He Maocai glanced at Zheng Michang, and then reminded.
"Well, yes, presumably the elders can't let go of this huge hidden danger, and when the time comes, they should still leave the matter to the two of us to deal with!"
Zheng Michang nodded, agreeing to He Maocai's proposal.
"Come on, don't mention this, let's drink!"
After He Maocai finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and said loudly.
"Here, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
……
On the other hand, since leaving the Governor's Palace, Gao Hanwen returned to his residence and prepared for the next change of rice to mulberry.
Now that the change from rice to mulberry is about to be implemented smoothly, his heart can't help but become excited, after all, the purpose of his recommendation to Zhejiang by Yan Shifan is to carry out the change from rice to mulberry!
In advance, Gao Hanwen did a lot of preparations, he almost ran through all the nearby villages, and recorded all the relevant humanities materials and so on, and organized them into several thick books.
After finishing his work, Gao Hanwen looked at the one-person-tall booklet piled up on the bookcase on the side, his face was full of pride, this was all his hard work! When the next official comes, he can directly flip through these pamphlets and learn about the customs and customs of the place as quickly as possible.
"It's been a long time since I've written to my teacher, and I don't know how he's been doing lately? Why don't you write a letter to the teacher now? ”
Gao Hanwen thought so, then spread out the pen and paper, and began to write a letter to Yan Shifan: "Teacher, student Gao Hanwen, how are you doing lately?" At present, the change from rice to mulberry is being carried out smoothly in accordance with the previous plan.
"I think we will be able to see results soon, you have always said that this is a great cause for the benefit of the country and the people, and in recent days, students have also been quite aware of this......
After a long time, Gao Hanwen put down the brush in his hand, looked at the graceful and elegant handwriting on the letterhead, and couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.
As a student of Yan Shifan, Gao Hanwen also inherited Yan Shifan's advantages and wrote well.
Then, after the ink on the paper was dry, Gao Hanwen called his subordinates and instructed, "Help me send this letter to the teacher." ”
"Yes, sir."
The subordinate said, took the envelope from Gao Hanwen's hand, and then bowed and left.
……
Since he had made up his mind to sell illicit salt, Shen Yishi invited his business partner to a banquet at Miaoquzhai.
"Come on, cheers, let's not get drunk today!"
"Okay, happy,!"
There were countless delicacies on the table, but the two people present had no desire to use chopsticks, they just drank by themselves, and next to the two, there were several dancing girls wearing tulle and revealing a large area of snow-white skin.
These dancing girls, but Shen Yishi spent a lot of money to get them, and long before he came, he inquired about the preferences of his business partner.
Sure enough, after a few glasses of wine, the business partner couldn't control himself, and his eyes glanced to the side from time to time.
"I don't know what's going on today, after a few glasses of wine, I'm a little drunk!"
The person who came immediately stopped hiding it, took the dancing girl on the side into his arms, and then spoke.
"That's nature, in order to entertain you, I have taken out all the fine wines that have been treasured for many years!"
After Shen Yishi finished speaking, he immediately glanced at the visitor, and said secretly in his heart: "Hmph, my wine jug, but the yin and yang jug!" Although it's the same pot, the wine we drink is different, so it's strange if we're not drunk. ”
Seeing that the fire was already in place, Shen Yishi began to consider the language, and asked carefully: "That's the case, I accidentally heard that you started by selling illicit salt, so I would like to ask you about the doorway and precautions!" ”
Although the person who came was already drunk, when he heard the word "private salt", he quickly became vigilant and responded: "What private salt? I have no idea what you're talking about. ”
"Boss Shen, it's illegal to sell illicit salt! When the time comes, the court will investigate it, but no one will be able to escape. ”
After the person said this, the whole person lay down in the arms of the dancing girl and fell asleep.
A moment later, there was a snoring sound.
Seeing this, Shen Yishi couldn't help but have a black line on his face, he spent so much thought on this, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, so no one could be happy.
After a long time, Shen Yishi gritted his teeth, took out a medicine bag from his pocket, and made an excuse at random to temporarily break the dancing girl and add the powder in the medicine bag to the wine jug.
This is the previous one, Shen Yishi spent a lot of money to buy the ecstasy from the hands of the famous old Chinese medicine doctor in the rivers and lakes, and it is said that as long as he takes it, he can make the mouth tell the truth.
"I hope this medicine works!"
Shen Yishi prayed in his heart, and then pressed the mechanism of the wine jug, and poured another glass of wine for the visitor.
"Come on, it's only a few glasses of wine! Didn't you say yes, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home? ”
"Uh...... Ah, who said I was drunk, I wasn't drunk! Help me up, and let's keep drinking. ”
The visitor then staggered to his feet, opened his hazy eyes, looked around, and said slowly.
"Here, cheers!"
Shen Yishi smiled, then picked up his wine glass and clinked glasses with the visitor.
In between drinking, Shen Yishi was also secretly observing the demeanor of the person who came, and only after seeing that he drank all the wine in the cup before he put his mind at ease.
"Hey, what about the dancers who were here before? Why are there no one? ”
After drinking the wine from the glass, the visitor looked around and wondered.
"Don't worry, I'll ask them to fetch something for me, and I'll be back soon."
Seeing this, Shen Yishi comforted softly.
After a while, perhaps because of the effect of the medicine, the person who came covered his forehead with his hand and said, "Hey, why are you spinning in place?" Why am I also turning? ”
Shen Yishi saw that the medicinal effect had come up, and hurriedly asked, "Did you start by selling illicit salt before?" ”
"Yes, I started by selling illicit salt before, don't you know, this selling illicit salt is a technical ......."
When the visitor saw Shen Yishi questioning, he began to chatter and tell him about the things he had encountered when he was selling illicit salt.
"After this incident, I didn't sell illicit salt anymore."
After listening to the narration of the visitor, Shen Yishi also had a general understanding of how to sell illicit salt.
"Do you know how to find the right channel and what you should pay attention to throughout the process?"
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yishi asked the question he was most concerned about.
"Of course, the first thing to do is to get salt, and the second is to bribe the official in charge of this matter, there is a rule in our industry, called ......"
The person who came was talking and talking, and then there was a bang, and the whole person fell on the table, unconscious.
Seeing this, Shen Yishi couldn't help but have a trace of panic on his face, and thought in his heart: "There won't be any problems with the previous package of medicine, right?" If someone dies, it's a big deal! ”
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yishi was bold, came to him, and stretched out his index finger to test his snort, and after seeing that he was still breathing, the stone hanging in Shen Yishi's heart finally fell to the ground.
"It's okay, it's okay, people are still alive."
At this moment, the dancers who had been separated by Shen Yishi for a reason also rushed back, so Shen Yishi put his hands behind his back and instructed them: "Help me carry this person to the room, and the reward at that time will be indispensable to you!" ”
Hearing this, the dancing girls were overjoyed and hurriedly carried the people to the room to rest.
