For four whole days, Ji Chen was contemplating refining qi, refining his body, refining the broken saber with the sun essence fire, and refining the resentment attached to it during this time because of the killing.

At the same time, he also realized some other things through Qi refining, which were related to combat.

This is yet to be tested.

The county soap class has been completely integrated by Ji Chen, forming an absolute prestige, and Ding Gongbo has also begun to emerge.

Ji Chen found that his ability was very strong and his methods were ruthless enough, so he passed on the exercises he had collected in the Black Eagle Gang to Ding Gongbo.

He doesn't have that much time to take care of the soap class, so he needs a spokesperson, and Ding Gongbo is a good choice.

He is obedient!

On this day, Ding Gongbo found Ji Chen, and the county government began to collect taxes, originally everything was handled by Ding Gongbo, and it was quite smooth, and the merchants in Fenglin Town also consciously paid taxes.

But the Sky Wolf Gang has too many industries, and there are more taxes and silver to pay, more than 20,000 taels, and the Sky Wolf Gang is afraid of accidents, so they hope that Ji Chen will hand it over in person.

In the past, it was Zhao Bantou who was handing over, so Ji Chen didn't think much about it, took the broken saber and followed Ding Gongbo to the Heavenly Wolf Gang station.

Just collected taxes, Ji Chen didn't bring many people, plus Ding Gongbo, a total of six servants.

Everyone came to the headquarters of the Sky Wolf Gang, and under the leadership of a hall master, they came to a warehouse.

Ji Chen was wondering to himself, didn't he hand over the taxes? How did you bring it to the warehouse?

Fortunately, the hall master gave an explanation in time, "Wait a minute, help the master check the goods inside, and settle the taxes and silver that should be paid, and I will call him." ”

With that, the hall master walked inside.

Ji Chen looked at the warehouse, it was not very big, but it was full of goods.

I don't know if his sense of smell is too sensitive, but he smells a faint salty smell, like the smell of the sea, and like the smell of salt mines.

Pickles?

But it's not stored in the right way.

With doubts, Ji Chen walked to one of the piles of goods, poked the pocket with his fingers, and gently hooked it to bring out the contents inside.

"Fine salt!"

Ji Chen frowned slightly, and then poked several other bags one after another, finding that they were full of salt.

Ding Gongbo had been following Ji Chen, and his face changed after discovering this situation. He hurriedly ran to several other piles of goods and poked open the bag directly with a knife, and the salt inside flowed out.

Salt!

This warehouse is full of salt, and it's fine salt.

Great Xia had extremely strict control over salt, especially fine salt, all of which were under official control, and were strictly bought and sold privately.

There are restrictions on the use of salt by the people, which is only enough to eat, and even if there is a little surplus, it is not enough to buy and sell.

The other officials were all stunned when they saw this. So much private salt is enough for all the heads of the entire gang of the Sky Wolf Gang to land, including the families of all the gangs, to be implicated, the men are assigned to the army, and the women are sold into the teaching workshop.

One of them said angrily: "The Sky Wolf Gang dares to sell smuggled salt, it's really bold. ”

Only Ji Chen and Ding Gongbo felt that the situation was wrong, if it was really the Sky Wolf Gang selling illicit salt, how could they bring them to the warehouse where the smuggled salt was kept.

Isn't this self-defeating?

"I'll go inside!"

Ding Gongbo hurriedly ran towards the warehouse, but soon he came back, his face was very ugly.

"There is a door in the back, and the hall master has run away from the back door, and the door has been killed."

"Let's go, get out of here now!"

Ji Chen made a quick decision and wanted to lead people to leave.

He has understood that this is a trap, someone wants to frame him, such a huge amount of private salt, once it is blamed on his head, everyone around him will be implicated.

Before Ji Chen and the others reached the door of the warehouse, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and a group of catchers wearing light red tight-fitting clothes appeared at the door, quickly blocking the door of the warehouse.

Behind the catch, there were a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, armed with a single knife, not to mention hundreds of people, crowded from the alley outside, and quickly surrounded the entire warehouse.

The faces of the officials behind Ding Gongbo changed wildly, even if they were slow to react, they understood the plan.

Twenty catchers quickly squeezed into the warehouse, closed the door of the warehouse, and sealed it directly.

A middle-aged man with a single knife hanging from his waist walked out.

This man is a burly man, with a condensed face, thirty-eight or ninety-nine appearance, slightly dark skin, and a few short whiskers on his lips and under his chin.

"This arrester received a report that someone was selling illicit salt, and the amount was huge, so he came to search for it, and if he was obstructed, he would be killed on the spot."

Ji Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sharp flicker in his eyes.

The Black Hawk Gang was picked by themselves, and now the master behind the Black Hawk Gang has come forward and wants revenge.

This is not unexpected, when picking on the Black Eagle Gang, Ji Chen knew that he would provoke the Patrol Division, and the only thing that surprised him was the Sky Wolf Gang, so daring, he dared to join forces with the Patrol Division to frame himself.

"The leader is the chief arrester of the patrol department, his name is Cao Peixi, he is the iron-clad patrol and the person in charge of the patrol department of Fenglin Town." Ding Gongbo reminded Ji Chen in a low voice.

The patrol department and the county government are only two streets apart, and the two agencies rarely interact with each other in normal times.

Cao Peixi is the iron-clad patrol of the patrol department, and he is also the chief catcher of Fenglin Town, and he is the ninth grade.

The thirty patrols under his command are all from the nine products, and it can be seen from this point that the power of the patrol division is great, and all the fast catches are all in the products.

Although it is only the last level, it is a hundred times stronger than the county officials, and the patrol also has the responsibility of supervising the local government, which is not something that these officials can provoke at all.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the patrol division is even more unprovoked, and you have to walk around the door of the patrol division when you pass by.

Usually, when the officials patrol the streets, they must walk around when they encounter the patrol department, and try not to have conflicts if they can.

Cao Peixi had a gloomy face, walked around the warehouse, walked to the shelf, dipped his fingers in a little fine salt and put it in his mouth to taste it, spit it out, and then walked to Ji Chen's side again, and said coldly:

"These private salts are yours! As a soap class official, he took the lead in selling illicit salt, and the amount was huge, I think you should know what the sin is. ”

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, "Cao Zhutou, the bureau is doing a good job." ”

He did not hesitate to praise a sentence, please enter the urn, frame the frame, although it is a little simple and rude, but it is really effective, everyone has stolen goods, and there is no argument.

Cao Peixi smiled coldly, "After the award, you picked on my Black Eagle Gang, bad my plan, this is what I gave back to you, by the way, officialdom is not so easy to mix, you are bad." ”

"Officialdom is not comparable to the rivers and lakes, it is not just about fighting and killing, officialdom pays attention to power and strategy, and uses brains, not righteousness. In this place of Fenglin Town, I am the sky, I have the final say on the black and white, and I control the life and death. ”

"Yes" Ji Chen said coldly: "In my opinion, in fact, officialdom is the same as the rivers and lakes, whoever has the biggest fist makes sense, I also have a message for you, Cao Nima!" ”

Ji Chen directly drew his knife and slashed it with one sword.
