Chapter 104: The Peacock Opens the Screen
They walked into another house again, the family's house was leaky, and there was a dark oil lamp on the table, Su Xiaolou reached into the rice jar, and touched a very hard thing, is it gold hidden so secretly, Su Xiaolou took it and was instantly disappointed, it turned out to be a three-character scripture, and the family's rice jar was almost bottomed out, and there was no polished rice in it.
Lu Datong looked disgusted: "A broken book is also hidden!" ”
"Maybe this family thinks that spiritual food can fill their stomachs!"
"How do I fill it in?"
"How do I fill it in? Tear the book off and fill it in your mouth, and when you are hungry, you can use grass roots and tree bark to fill your stomach. ”
They went to a few houses one after another, there are very few polished rice, most of the salt households are only brown rice, the strange thing is that almost every household has a few books hidden, Su Xiaolou didn't take it seriously, so he went back to check the situation of the Yanhu rice tank and reported it to He Bi, the leading soldiers turned pale when they heard this, and shouted excitedly: "I obviously sent them polished rice, how can it become brown rice, my lord clearly advised, although sometimes there will be a shortage of catties and two grams to deduct a little, but I really sent them polished rice, it was this group of people who framed me, Other garrisons can prove it. ”
It's obviously a nest of snakes and rats, and they are complicit, and they dare to let other soldiers prove it for themselves, why bother snorting coldly: "You still dare to be hard-mouthed until now, you said that the salt people framed you, and the official asked you, how did this group of salt people know that the official patrolled the salt today?" ”
The leader of the soldiers was speechless for a while, so why did he continue to reprimand him domineeringly: "Since you don't know, naturally there is no way to frame you by replacing polished rice with brown rice." The official will inform the Salt Transportation Division of this matter, and let the people of the Salt Transportation Division send you down! The leading garrison was completely dumbfounded.
Why bother to swear to the salt households: "After the official returns, he will definitely ask the people of the Salt Transportation Division to compensate for your losses, return the polished rice owed to you, punish the soldiers who bullied the salt households in the two Huai salt fields, and reformulate a set of reasonable salt delivery regulations, you can rest assured." ”
Why bother's passionate words, rekindling the hope in the eyes of the salt people, they knelt down and kowtowed to thanksgiving, for them to be fed and clothed is the greatest happiness.
……
At this time, the news of why bother to appear in the salt field has reached the ears of Yangzhou officials, and why bother is like a stone, thrown into the calm lake, and layers of ripples spread outward, leading to the undercurrent of waves under the lake.
The officials of the Salt Transportation Division had already sorted out their clothes and waited at the inn where the group stayed, and the innkeeper stood beside him solemnly, he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to serve these individuals in his life.
On the way back, Su Xiaolou and the others did not go with him, firstly, because the inn where they settled was different, and secondly, why did they think that Su Xiaolou was smart and clever, and he could cooperate with him in the light and in the dark, and they could not find out anything on the surface, but secretly acted cheaply to find out the evidence of corruption and bribery of the officials on the list.
On the second day, why bother to take Bao Zhutou and Zhen Dexiu to the Salt Transportation Division to check the accounts, Su Xiaolou changed into a fancy clothes, dressed as a suave noble son and planned to inquire about the situation, Su Xiaolou pinned the folding fan to his waist and closed the door.
Everyone waited for Su Xiaolou in the hall for almost two teas, and finally waited for Su Xiaolou to come out, and everyone was stunned when they saw people.
"Boss! You're very different today, you seem to ......" The fat man who had never been to school scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and couldn't come up with an adjective for a long time.
Su Xiaolou pulled out the fan on his waist, unfolded and shook the fan with a "swish", and confidently waited to accept his dog's rainbow fart.
"The peacock who opened the screen." Those who have read the book are different, and everyone agrees with Lu Datong's apt description, but they dare not show it, and they all cast a caring look at Lu Datong.
Su Xiaolou's hand holding the fan suddenly froze, and a nameless fire rushed to the top of his head, Su Xiaolou clenched his back molars, today is an unannounced visit, low-key, this world is very beautiful, I can't be so irritable, grass! Destroy!
"Lu Datong, before the master can figure out where to bury you, tell the master again, what does the master look like?"
"I'm telling the truth."
"Lu Datong, take your life!" Su Xiaolou pulled out the short knife on his waist and slashed at Lu Datong in anger.
Seeing this, Lu Datong ran away, and Su Xiaolou followed closely behind and ran out.
Seeing this, everyone sighed: "Lu Datong really didn't get beaten in vain. ”
……
During the banquet, Su Xiaolou remembered the list of Yangzhou officials who were corrupt provided by the Criminal Department, and asked, "Do you know Shou Ninghou?" ”
"Boss, I know! Shou Ninghou is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Zhang. ”
"I heard that this Shouning Hou is not a thing."
"Boss! We are an errand captain, and we care about the affairs in the imperial city, so it's not an idle egg! ”
Lu Datong stuffed half a bun in his mouth and said vaguely: "I know! Shou Ninghou has three hobbies in his life, the first hobby is eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling; the second hobby of making money; The third hobby ran to her sister and cried and asked her to wipe her ass for herself! ”
"Then he's quite perverted, he doesn't wipe his ass after pooping when he's old and lets his sister wipe it for him!"
As soon as Su Xiaolou finished speaking, Lu Datong was full of black lines, a mouthful of buns choked in his throat, he couldn't swallow it and couldn't spit it out, his face was flushed, and the fat man next to him saw this and handed him a glass of water before he eased up.
Su Xiaolou said playfully: "Since he loves to make money so much, do you think that the profiteering industry of salt will also come to get involved?" "I'm afraid it's too good, Shou Ninghou, a high-ranking and powerful person with a backer, I'm afraid it's not as simple as mixing with a kick, Lu Datong realized the seriousness of the matter, clenched the bun in his hand, his face became ugly, his father was wrongfully imprisoned, it is likely that Shou Ninghou manipulated it behind his back, and if he wants to overturn the case from Shou Ninghou's hands, it is equivalent to going against Shou Ninghou, this is not the fruit of the Hades on the table - looking for death!
"Boss, we won't be here this time to fight against Shou Ninghou, right?"
Su Xiaolou observed Lu Datong's expression and said deliberately: "If the Hou of Shouning is really involved, most of the corrupt officials in Yangzhou who collude with these officials and businessmen and sell illicit salt are accused by him, if we want to find out the real reason for the flood of illicit salt in the market, the salt transportation division and the salt account of the branch salt, we must move the power of Shou Ninghou in Yangzhou, how about it?" Are you afraid? ”
"Will Shou Ninghou send someone to gag us! Top dog! Otherwise, we won't patrol the salt, let's go back to Nanjing! ”
"You fat man, you know nothing more than eating! Our boss came to make meritorious service by the Holy Decree, and now he is not going back to resist the decree! You want to kill our boss! ”
"Here is death, and going back is death, or we will run away! Find a hill to hide for a few years. ”
