168 Illicit salt
、、、、、、、、、、 In the past few days, the weather has been very cold, the whole sky is black, and the snow has been drifting so hard that it almost feels that this Jingzhao will one day be covered by dazzling white snowflakes.
She hasn't stepped outside for several days, Jingzhao has been a little chaotic these days, I heard that there are rebels appearing, martial law is everywhere, I heard that the emperor vomited blood and fainted yesterday morning, and the whole city seems to be in a kind of darkness.
"Madam, the second lady is here." Parsley came over and said in Shuangzhi's ear, Shuangzhi opened his eyes slightly, and got down from the soft couch.
"Please let her in." Double to light channel.
Xiangqin opened the crimson felt curtain and invited Yu Ximeng in, and several maids withdrew, leaving only Zheng Po alone.
Yu Ximeng relieved the snowflake-dyed dahu and handed it to Yahuan, so that the two Yahuan who came with her also retreated.
"Sister-in-law, you are in such a hurry to find me, but what's the matter?" Yu Xi dreamed of the ceremony, so she sat down opposite Shuangzhi, and Zheng Po held her a hot tea.
Shuangzhi looked at her deeply and said in a low voice, "There are some urgent matters to discuss with you, but before that, I want to ask you a few questions." ”
Yu Ximeng raised her eyebrows, now she is no longer the ignorant and fearful Yu Ximeng before, seeing Shuangzhi's solemn expression, she also guessed that something might have happened, and her heart lifted, "Sister-in-law, please speak?" ”
"How do you treat the second master?" Shuangzhi asked seriously.
Yu Ximeng's face turned red, "Why does my sister-in-law ask like this?" ”
"Between Zhao Shaofei and the second master, who is more important in your heart?" Shuangzhi didn't care if this question was abrupt and rude, and now what she had to do was 100,000 urgent, so she couldn't take care of it.
Yu Ximeng's eyes sank, and she looked at Shuangzhi vigilantly, "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?" ”
Shuangzhi said, "I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to confirm that before you married the second master, didn't you care about Zhao Shaofei?" And what about today? You don't have to worry about what I'm going to do to you, haven't you been able to tell who is worth believing in yet? ”
Yu Ximeng was shocked, she didn't expect Shuangzhi to know about her and Zhao Shaofei's past, although she didn't have complete trust in Fu Shuangzhi now, but in some places, she admired this sister-in-law in her heart, and she also knew that she was not a person who would frame others in secret, but what did she mean by asking?
"Sister-in-law, although Zhao Shaofei is not the murderer, he can't escape from it, do you think I still have thoughts about him?" Yu Ximeng lowered her head and sneered.
"That's great!" Shuangzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "If Zhao Shaofei does something to hurt Shi Can or even the entire Shi family, what should you do?" ”
Yu Ximeng quickly raised his head, and a strong ruthlessness burst out from his eyes, "He dares!" ”
"Do you know what kind of business they are doing?" Shuangzhi sighed and asked Yu Ximeng.
Yu Ximeng looked at Shuangzhi suspiciously, how did she think that her sister-in-law had something to say today.
"I don't talk nonsense with you, Zhao Shaofei instigated the second master to sell, you must know that if this is found out, it is the crime of beheading the family, which has nothing to do with our general's mansion, but I don't want to watch the second master have an accident, so I came to you." Double to deep channel.
This is what she just found out, when she learned that Shi Can and they sold illicit salt, she was really surprised, and she really wanted to arrest them immediately and scold them, in ancient times, selling illicit salt and modern drug trafficking were almost as serious, although Shi Can's accident may not affect the General's Mansion, but the master is still on their side, the General's Mansion cannot sit idly by, and if it is used by someone with a heart, this is also very unfavorable to Shi Tuo.
Yu Ximeng's face turned pale and exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! ”
"How could it not be? If it wasn't for selling illicit salt, why did it cost so much, why did it make such a big profit, do you really think that the second master is a genius in business? Shuangzhi asked aggressively.
Yu Ximeng shook his head, "However, I've looked at the account book, and the profit is not much at all." ”
"That's it, the second master was used by Zhao Shaofei at all! The wood is all hollow, it is full of private salt, and those who want to come into the city and go out of the city are these woods, if you don't look carefully, I'm afraid that no one will be able to see that there is something inside, even Zheng Po was almost fooled, the second master himself must not know how profitable the private salt is, and he was stupidly used by Zhao Shaofei. Shuangzhi frowned.
"I don't believe it, sister-in-law, this is absolutely impossible, how can private salt be obtained so easily, the second master is ...... He ......, "Yu Ximeng has some six gods and no master, what should I do?"
Shuangzhi smiled coldly, "You think I'm going to joke about something like this?" Whether you believe it or not, now you have to find a way to help the Shi family through this difficulty. ”
"You...... You're going to help us? Yu Ximeng actually believed what Shuangzhi said in her heart, but she subconsciously hoped that this was fake, she knew very well what kind of crime it was to sell illicit salt, even if she didn't cut off her head, she would have to go to prison, she didn't want to spend the rest of her life in prison.
She just didn't want Shi Tuo to be implicated in the future, not to mention that the old man was not young, if something really happened, they couldn't stand idly by, "After you go back today, I will have someone pick up the old man." ”
"Sister-in-law, do you want to break up the relationship with our second room?" Yu Ximeng exclaimed and shouted urgently, "Is this relationship clear?" ”
"I can't tell you, but you can't let the master be affected by the second master, don't worry, I didn't ignore it, listen, if you want to keep the second master, you can only use one person!" Shuangzhi was silent for a while before he spoke, his bright eyes staring straight at Yu Ximeng.
Yu Ximeng unconsciously already fully believed in Shuangzhi and relied on her, "Who is being used?" ”
"Zhao Shaofei!" Shuangzhi's eyes flashed, and he said the name coldly.
Yu Ximeng was stunned, but soon her eyes turned fierce, "Sister-in-law, what should I do?" ”
Shuangzhi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and whispered to teach the method, and the snow outside the window seemed to have signs that it was about to stop.
The next day, at the beginning of the heavy snowfall, Shuangzhi had already sent someone to take the lord to the general's mansion, although the lord hesitated, but he thought that his daughter-in-law was filial, so he moved back.
At the same time, Shuangzhi also called Fu Minxun to the General's Mansion again and advised him to give up his business, she already knew what he was doing, but Fu Minxun was hungry for profit, where was he willing to give up this opportunity to make money, Shuangzhi announced that he Fu Minxun had nothing to do with the Fu family from now on, whether he was alive or dead, whether he was poor or rich, it had nothing to do with the Fu family, and instead of high-fiveing him in front of the court, he cut off all family affection.
After Fu Minxun left, Shuangzhi immediately repaired the book and returned to the Fu family, and explained the matter to Master Fu, she was presumptuous to cut first and then play, everything was just for the sake of the Fu family, and the Fu family could not afford to be pushed to the tip of the knife again.
In order to take care of Shi Can, Yu Ximeng handed over the affairs of the family to Shi Xianshu to take care of, and Zhao Shaofei also made his own decisions on the size of the business.
Shi Can can't take care of business, Zhao Shaofei wanted to find the master to come forward several times to take charge of business matters, but he was blocked out of the general's mansion, even if he came in, he would be said twice, now the master is rarely happy, how can he let the master worry about other things?
Zhao Shaofei was puzzled in his heart, wondering if Shuangzhi had seen something, but then he felt that it was impossible, what he did was very secretive and would not be discovered.
That's it, it's okay, without Shi Can's drag, he can do things more happily, and the profits are greater, with the Guo family to build a good relationship for him, he will soon be able to leave the Shi family, and he doesn't have to rely on people anymore.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Can's body is still not improving, and the family's business has always been managed by Zhao Shaofei, and almost the entire family business is now in the hands of the couple.
Shi Can's illness has always been hidden from the master, of course, Shuangzhi knows that Shi Can is not really seriously ill, so people are not allowed to mention half a sentence to the master, even the two aunts of the master dare not talk much, but they have seen the scene when Aunt Jing was carried home, offending Mrs. County is like that.
However, things are not completely in the hands of Shuangzhi.
On this day, the whole family has been dotting the New Year's goods, and the lord has called Shuangzhi to the study, and the Tao has something to say.
Shuangzhi has guessed what the old man is looking for her for, she put on a big hat, swings the stove on the sedan chair, and comes to the master's study, the maids have spread a layer of carpet on the ground, and the parsley supports Shuangzhi to get off the sedan chair.
In the study, there was only one master, and his face was not good-looking.
"Daddy." Shuangzhi bowed and bowed, feeling a little apprehensive.
The old man sighed and said in a deep voice, "You sit down, I have something to ask you." ”
Shuangzhi sat down according to his words, lowered his eyebrows and ears, and did not dare to say more.
"Shuangzhi, let me ask you, what's going on at home?" The old man asked bluntly, looking at Shuangzhi with bright eyes.
Shuangzhi smiled slightly, "Everything is fine, Dad, don't worry." ”
"How are you doing? You haven't said anything about Tuo'er in the past two months, Can'er has been so sick that she can't get out of bed for a month, Shuangzhi, do you want no one to send me to the end in the future, ah? The old man was furious and slapped the table and shouted.
Shuangzhi's heart sank, mentioning Shi Tuo, her heart was like being cut by a blunt knife, she was also worried about Shi Tuo, she also wanted to get news from Shi Tuo, but ...... There was nothing, "Dad, my daughter-in-law has already sent someone to Pingzhou City, and there will be news of her husband soon." ”
"What about Can'er? Why don't you tell me Can'er is sick? The old man asked.
"My daughter-in-law just doesn't want your old man to worry." Double to bow the head.
"I see that you are simply in power, and you want me to have no one to send you to the end in the future, I know, you hate the second room, you just want Can'er to die of illness so much, right?" The old man looked at Shuangzhi sadly, he didn't expect her to become such a person.
Shuangzhi gritted his teeth, "Dad, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to think like this." ”
"Don't you dare? Is there anything else you wouldn't dare? The old man shouted.
"Daddy......" Shuangzhi doesn't know how to explain, if you explain everything to the master at this time, I'm afraid it's too early to say, although the wolf is trapped, but it's not time to close the net.
"You don't have to say anything, I'm going to move back, and I won't come to your general's mansion in the future! lest I provoke you in the future! The old man snorted heavily.
"No, you can't!" Shuangzhi shouted urgently, seeing the old man's round eyes, she hurriedly explained slowly, "If it is cold today, the second master is sick in bed, and he can't fulfill his filial piety, so it's better for you to ...... in winter."
"What? It's just a few steps, and I can't freeze to death! After that, the old man had already waved his sleeves and wanted to leave the study, but at this moment, Shi Yinzhu came in.
"Big brother, something is wrong!" Shi Yinzhu hurriedly shouted when he saw the old man.
The old man was taken aback, "Could it be Can'er......?"
"Can'er's sin actually sold illicit salt, and I told me all about my dream just now, this is a big crime, big brother, what should I do." Shi Yinzhu was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, and asked the master's opinion.
The old man was dumbfounded, and turned his head to look at Shuangzhi, "Shuangzhi, is this true or false?" ”
Shuangzhi frowned, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and nodded slightly.
The old man's chest froze, and suddenly he couldn't breathe, and fell to the ground with a thud.
