"What a guts. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!)"

Jiang Xia only said this sentence after reading the flying pigeon biography in his hand.

What did Zhong Bin say about killing people by mistake, and then arresting and escaping, these are simply in the eyes of Jiang Xia and Zhu Houzhao. The fact is that both of them are very clear that Zhong Bin was exposed.

Shangguan Zheng almost didn't kill his mouth, and Shangguan Ziyue was assassinated. Both of these prove that someone wants to cover up the matter quickly, and it is not yet known who is behind it. One thing is certain, however, that most of the officials in Yunnan are probably not out of their way.

Zhu Houzhao first intervened to prevent Shangguan Zheng's execution, and then transferred Shangguan Zheng to Jinyi Wei for strict protection, which proved that Zhu Houzhao had decided to thoroughly investigate the salt tax in Yunnan.

I am afraid that this incident greatly stimulated the officials in Yunnan, so they will take a dangerous move against Zhong Bin. Of course, it is also possible that Zhong Bin really found something in Yunnan, so that they must eradicate Zhong Bin.

But none of this is important, the important thing is that Zhong Bin's life and death are uncertain now.

Jiang Xia didn't expect that Zhong Bin's whereabouts would be exposed when he went to make an unannounced visit, and the only explanation that could be explained was that there were also their people in Yunnan Jinyiwei.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, he looked at Jiang Xia and said, "Big brother, I'm afraid that the matter in Yunnan is not simple. Now Zhong Bin's life and death are uncertain, even if he doesn't want to investigate the case, he has to find him back. ”

"That's right, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death. Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Houzhao and said firmly: "I'll run it myself." ”

"Are you going?" Zhu Houzhao said in surprise.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Zhong Bin is also my friend, I recommended him to Yunnan to investigate secretly, but now that he has an accident, I have the responsibility to find him back." ”

Zhu Houzhao saw that Jiang Xia had made up his mind, and he didn't persuade him anymore at the moment, he knew Jiang Xia's character very well, and once he decided, even ten horses might not be able to pull it back.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and said: "Big brother, if you want to go, you must be careful in everything, the water over there is very deep, and the people over there are also very vicious." ”

Jiang Xia nodded in understanding.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "How many people are you going to take with you?" Why don't I directly send a thousand Jinyi guards to go on the road with you?"

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "No need, Brother Han and I can just go on the road." With fewer people, the goal is much smaller. I just wanted to bring Zhong Bin back safely this time, and as for the affairs of Yunnan, I believe that there will be opportunities to play with them slowly. ”

"Okay, I'll write you an edict, and you can mobilize all the local soldiers and horses after you go. Zhu Houzhao said.

Jiang Xia shook his head, his brows furrowed slightly: "The local soldiers and horses are no longer reliable, but I hope you can write a letter to another person with me." Although his place is far away from Yunnan, I am sure that no one would expect us to transfer him, and there may be a sudden landing of cavalry. ”

"Oh, who made you trust you so much?"

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, and said a name next to Zhu Houzhao's ear. Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up after hearing the name Jiang Xia said.

On the evening of the same day, Jiang Xia temporarily summoned Yun Haibo and them for a meeting, and he excused himself to return to his hometown and province, so he would leave for a while. During this time, the affairs of the Teaching Workshop Division were handed over to them to handle, and if there was anything that could not be solved, he would go to his master Li Dongyang.

After explaining these things, when Jiang Xia said goodbye to Li Dongyang and the two wives at home in the evening, he took Han Mufeng on the road lightly.

Zhong Bin's life and death were uncertain, Jiang Xia was very worried, he didn't want to delay too much on the road, so he and Han Mufeng each chose a fast horse to rush to Yunnan.

There were street lights in the night of Daming, and although Jiang Xia and Han Mufeng rode fast horses, they didn't dare to hurry too fast.

The reason why they chose to travel at night was also to hide their eyes, unlike the hidden masterminds in the Jingshi who noticed their departure. Jiang Xia already felt that the masterminds behind the scenes this time were ruthless and accurate, and extremely sensitive, and they were definitely old foxes whose means should not be underestimated.

The distance from Jingshi to Yunnan is not close, and Jiangxia is purely unfamiliar with the road. Since Han Mufeng was also worried about Zhong Bin's safety, the two chose the nearest path. There are 6 waterways and waterways on this road, and it may take more than half a month to rush them all.

The boring rush made Jiang Xia feel like he was about to go crazy, and it seemed that the road ahead was far away, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach his destination. This made Jiang Xia miss the planes of later generations very much, and no matter how far the world was, it could be quickly reached.

And horseback riding is not as fun as everyone thinks, it may not matter if you stick to it for a day or two, but after three or five days, if you continue to hurry, I am afraid that the inner thigh will already wear out the skin.

Fortunately, Jiang Xia carried healing medicine with him, and once the skin was broken, he rubbed it on, and it scabbed overnight. Then when I was in a hurry, it broke again, and then I rubbed it again. After such a few repetitions, Jiang Xia's inner thighs have grown calluses, which are no longer easy to break, and his riding skills have improved a lot.

After traveling for seventeen days in a row, Jiang Xia and Han Mufeng finally arrived in Yunnan.

Yunnan's Salt Division is located in Yongning Prefecture, which is also an area where Yunnan salt wells are concentrated. If we want to investigate the Yunnan salt tax case, we must first start the investigation in Yongning Mansion.

So after arriving in Yunnan, Jiang Xia and Han Mufeng just took a short rest and came to Yongning Mansion.

Salt is essential for everyone's life and survival, and salt has been very important for the stability of the country throughout the ages. Especially in ancient times, the importance of salt tax to the country was directly linked to the prosperity and stability of the country. For example, in a few dynasties, the salt tax even accounted for half of the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue.

An official once said, "White salt is like silver, stained with tens of thousands of gold." This means that the amount of silver involved in the salt tax is huge, and any official position related to the salt tax is rich in oil and water, and it is not a problem to make a little money at will.

To tell the truth, it is understandable that the officials of the Ming Dynasty are greedy for Jiang Xia, after all, the Ming Dynasty's income is indeed too low, how can officials live if they are not greedy? But it is not right to be too greedy, and because of greed, it kills people, and finally moves to his brother, that is how can he Jiang Xia not tolerate it.

Accustomed to the rush of flying around in later generations, the painful rush for seventeen or eight days in a row really tortured Jiang Xia enough. When he arrived at Yongning Mansion, he couldn't find a clue to investigate Zhong Bin's whereabouts for a while, so Jiang Xia took Han Mufeng to the best inn in Yongning Mansion to prepare to eat a big meal first, and then sleep peacefully.

To tell the truth, Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty was still a remote area, and the economic level of various places along the way was relatively low. But only this Yongning Mansion is not bad, not only the Gaomen compound is everywhere, but even the inn is luxuriously decorated and has a huge scale.

But thinking about it, this is normal, the entire Yongning Mansion is almost a quarter of Yunnan's salt merchants, and there are definitely not a few rich people.

On the way, I wanted passers-by to inquire, and the best inn in Yongning Mansion was Baisha Inn.

Jiang Xia and Han Mufeng walked into the inn and immediately had a shop Xiao Er come over to greet him warmly, Jiang Xia first went to the counter to ask for two upper rooms, and then asked Xiao Er to prepare hot water for them to bathe, and finally asked for a table of the best banquet.

The inn is not small, so hot water is basically always available. Jiang Xia and Han Mufeng took a shower and changed into clean clothes and walked downstairs refreshed.

The shopkeeper had just received a lot of tips from Jiang Xia, so when he saw the two of them going downstairs, he immediately greeted him with a smile, pointed to a sumptuous banquet in the hall and said, "Uncle, your table is ready, please use it slowly." ”

"Hmm. Jiang Xia nodded, he took out a piece of broken silver from his arms again and threw it to the shopkeeper: "It's good." ”

The shopkeeper happily took the silver, and nodded his head like a rattle: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle"

Jiang Xia smiled, and was about to go downstairs with Han Mufeng to eat when suddenly a group of people walked into the inn. For a woman in red, she should be around ten years old, and the other seven or eight people surrounding her should be her guards.

The woman in red was holding a big dog in her hand, and since it was said to be a big dog, its size must be majestic and majestic. The dog stood beside the woman in red, almost waist-high as her, and the big dog stared at Jiang Xia's table as if drooling.

Jiang Xia secretly said in his heart: "It's not good. ”

Sure enough, the woman in red put her hand holding the rope and giggled and shouted, "Go, Big Bear." ”

The big dog called Da Xiong jumped onto the table, but it had just started to jump up, and Jiang Xia directly hit Da Xiong on the head with a piece of broken silver.

The big bear let out a "whoop" and fell to the ground, then barked angrily in the direction of Jiang Xia.

The woman in red stared at Jiang Xia with her eyes blazing, and said coquettishly, "You dare to hit my dog?"

Jiang Xia rolled his eyes and said lazily: "Isn't this nonsense? Why don't I dare to fight it? It's not my dog." ”

"I think you're going to die, no one has ever dared to beat my Yin Jiaojiao's dog. Yin Jiaojiao said angrily.

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, sneered and said, "If no one has beaten you, no one will have beaten you?" Then you haven't had sex with anyone yet, won't you have sex with anyone in the future?"

The other guests in the inn burst out laughing.

Where could Yin Jiaojiao stand this, she immediately roared angrily: "Come on, go and break his dog's leg for him!"

Jiang Xia shook his head and said lightly: "It's really like the shape of the owner, and the dog is arrogant and domineering." And what about people? It's not as good as a dog, you have the ability to do it yourself, and you can direct the guards with one mouth. On your wedding night, did you also ask your maid to wait for your husband?"

"Hahahaha" The people in the inn burst out laughing.

Jiang Xia's three sentences are inseparable from the matter of "same room" and "husband", where can the girl's family stand this, Yin Jiaojiao's order was changed at once, "Break his leg for me, cut off his tongue and feed the bear." ”
