Li Qing glanced at Xiao Lizi in surprise, and was a little skeptical that Xiao Lizi had accepted other people's benefits, but after thinking about it, he rejected this speculation again.

really received the benefits, Xiao Lizi would definitely not tell him everything, wouldn't it be better to hide it directly?

"What's wrong?"

"Master Hou, you think, once the flow of goods to other provinces is prohibited, their business will be very difficult, without business, the people who work in the workshop will have to be laid off, and if there is no work, the people will definitely have a hard time." The head of Xiao Lizi's analysis is Dao, "We are here to make meritorious contributions and do good deeds, but we can't let the people suffer." ”

Li Qing was stunned, shocked, but also quite emotional.

Who said that eunuchs are all mutilated and perverted?

The little eunuch also has big ambitions!

Li Qing's voice was a little softer, and he explained: "Your concern is very reasonable, but the ban on smuggling will inevitably affect the workshop workers, this cannot be avoided, but the impact is not as big as you said." ”

"Furthermore, theoretically, selling only in this province will definitely affect business, but don't forget, these goods are not really sold to Fu. Jian, Zhejiang. River, but out of the sea. Li Qing said with a smile,

"Since the goods have not fallen into the hands of the people of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, what is the problem of prohibiting sales in other provinces?"

"It's... Our family is stupid. Xiao Lizi didn't understand a little.

Li Qing smiled, "Let's put it bluntly, even if they only sell in this county, their business will not be bad, because they don't want anyone to make the business of these workshops bad, can you understand?" ”

Xiao Lizi smacked his mouth, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, I understand, Master Hou is going to catch a big fish behind him!" ”

"Hmm." Li Qing nodded: "Ben Hou will tell you about this alone, don't spread it." ”

"Master Hou, don't worry." Xiao Li Zi nodded solemnly, paused, and asked, "Then should we keep a close watch now...... Buyers? ”

"Not yet." Li Qing thought for a while, "Go and let Dongchang Fanzi rest for a few days, and then secretly monitor the production progress of the workshop." ”

"Oh, we get it." Xiao Lizi suddenly realized, "Master Hou, this is to paralyze the enemy, so as not to startle the snake." ”

"Hahaha......" Li Qing inexplicably felt that this family was a little cute, "Go ahead and do it." ”

"Hey, we're quitting." Xiao Lizi walked away with cheerful little steps.

……

Before you know it, it's the end of February.

On this day, Yu Qian's letter came, which wrote the progress of the case and asked how to deal with those smuggling thieves.

Li Qing felt that those people just wanted to make more money, and they did not harm the people, so there was no need to be severely punished on the line.

But just beating the board was not enough to convince the public, so I thought about it and wrote the punishment method of "Half a Year in Prison".

The news was sent back to Jian'an, and the newly appointed Jian'an Zhixian secretly scolded his mother angrily, without him, the number of thieves was too large, and the county government jail could not fit it.

The cell was full at once, and he was so busy that he was overwhelmed.

In the end, under the leadership of Yu Qian, those extra thieves were evenly locked up in the prisons of the two counties next door, so someone secretly scolded Li Qing again.

However, Li Qing didn't hear it at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

There are a lot of people who are unhappy with me, how old are you?!

……

Early March.

The situation has finally made progress, and the production progress of the major workshops has been raised again after more than ten days of slowing down.

When Li Qing heard about it, he immediately asked Xiao Lizi to spy on the buyer.

Xiao Lizi lived up to his expectations, and with a disguised fanzi, it only took two days to lock in the buyer.

"Master Hou, do you want to arrest someone?" Xiao Lizi rubbed his hands, a little impatient.

"Did you find out where they got their goods?" Li Qing asked.

"Uh... Not yet. Xiao Lizi was a little embarrassed, and then said: "But the general place is locked, and it can be determined that it has not been shipped out, and our family is also afraid of alarming them, so we ......."

After a pause, "We think they should have heard the rumors, hoarded the goods, and smuggled them out to sea when we left." ”

Li Qing nodded: "Yes, most of the time." ”

Xiao Lizi was praised, and his motivation came up at once, "Master Hou, then do we have to act?" ”

"Hmm... Let the brothers rest first, and I will act when I think of a countermeasure. Li Qing said: "Tell me where they may be stocking up." ”

"Hey, good!" Xiao Lizi nodded and began to introduce.

…

"Sir, are you going to get busy?" After Xiao Lizi left, the three girls came to the guest hall.

Li Qing nodded: "There are a lot of things, I have wasted a lot of time here, I can't keep spending like this, I'll go and see it myself tonight, and I'll come back as soon as it's dawn." ”

"Sir, be careful, as the saying goes: a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention, people are vassal kings." Wan Ling worried, "Don't really push people into a hurry. ”

"Thinking too much." Li Qing smiled, "Unless King Ning doesn't want to do it, don't dare to do anything to me." ”

Zhu Quan is a smart person, he knows the severity of the matter, and such a stupid act as moving Qincha will not happen to him.

It's night.

Li Qing changed into a night suit and quietly walked out of the Qincha Academy.

He didn't get off the horse, only relied on a pair of legs, according to the address given by Xiao Lizi, and ran for nearly 20 miles, stopping at the edge of a small village.

"Wang, Wang......"

A dog barked, which quickly caused a chain reaction, and sporadic dog barking intensified.

Li Qing did not move, and he already had some spectrum in his heart.

In this era, there are not many people who have dogs, and they can even be called scarce, mainly because the living conditions are not high, and it is better to eat them if they have money, who would be willing to feed the dogs.

The per capita GDP of this village is not low!

After a while, the barking of the dog gradually subsided.

Li Qing waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no abnormality, he started to act.

The night is like ink, Li Qing is dressed in night clothes, blending with the night, although he moves fast, but his feet are very light, and he has never made a sound.

Dogs can also see things at night, Li Qing did not take the usual road, flying all the way to the wall, and finally came to the front yard of the largest family in the village...... Roof.

There was a faint candlelight in the courtyard, and there were still people talking faintly, far away, and the voice was not loud, Li Qing couldn't hear it clearly.

After a few flashes and movements, Li Qing got closer to the target.

"I really don't know what the old man thinks, these things are hoarded here, and they can't make money, the porcelain is fine, but the silk and furniture are afraid of insects, ants and rats, especially spices... Alas, I really don't want to work the night shift. Jia Dingjia sighed.

Jia Ding Yi: "You know what, these things can sell for a lot of money." ”

"Heh, it's like the money from the sale was given to you." Jia Dingjia disdainfully, "It's not that you stay up late and have no money, what's the spirit!" ”

Jia Ding Yi sneered: "Isn't this telling you." ”

"What's there to say, I can't afford it, but I still know the price."

"Do you know the price in Daming, do you know the price in other countries? I'll tell you, it's worth the old nose's money. Jia Ding Yi said with great interest, "Just a piece of silk, it will be more than a dozen taels of silver when you go to sea, you don't know how much this thing can be sold for." ”

"Go to sea and sell a dozen taels?"

"That's still a lot."

Jia Ding Jia suddenly became interested, "Brother Dog, who did you listen to, shouldn't you be fooling me?" ”

"Lie to you is a dog, I'll tell you......"

Li Qing listened for a while, and basically determined that this was the smuggling warehouse, or one of the warehouses.

After listening to it for a while, I didn't hear any useful information, and the topic of the two families gradually deviated, and finally talked about the seventeenth concubine of the master.

It's both butt and waist, and it looks like I've slept before.

……

Back at the Qincha Academy, Li Qing made up his mind to take the initiative.

I don't have time to investigate little by little, there are still Japanese robbers in Fujiang and Zhejiang to suppress, and I can't waste time here all the time.

If the soft one doesn't work, then you can only come to the hard one!

Early the next morning, Li Qing called Xiao Lizi next door, "Go gather people and prepare for action." ”

"Let's just wait for Lord Hou's words!" Little Plum was in good spirits.

"The target is in the village you provided, and the specific location is in the backyard of the rich gentleman's house at the east end of the village. Li Qing's face was solemn, "You change into palace clothes, and if you dare to resist, you will be killed." ”

There are not many fans, Yu Qian took a batch, the surveillance vassal king took a batch, and Li Qing himself had to take a batch.

At most, give Xiao Lizi a hundred and ten Fanzi, if the big landlord is ruthless, secretly instigating domestic servants and villagers, insisting that Fanzi is a robber, come to a fire, and then transfer the goods, it will be a joke.

These rich gentry are not fuel-efficient lamps.

"Master Hou, don't worry." Xiao Lizi said with a smile: "We made up our minds before we came, we must do something this time, and go back to let the gentlemen in the palace take a look." ”

Man?

Li Qing was stunned for a moment, and then he realized, and almost didn't laugh out loud, but fortunately, after training, he held back, "Work hard, I will report your credit truthfully when I go back." ”

"Hey, okay." Xiao Lizi smiled, "Then our family will thank Master Hou first." ”

"Well, let's go." Li Qing patted him on the shoulder, "Remember, you must control the situation." ”

……

After Xiao Lizi left, Li Qing asked Wang Yuan to bring the gold ingots, and then set off as well.

- Target: King Ning.

Zhu Quan is a smart person, and he has been operating here for many years, if he checks step by step, he will waste time in vain, and there is a high probability that he will not find anything.

Therefore, Li Qing can only take the sword sideways and adopt a semi-hooligan style of play.

Anyway, there are human witnesses, and there are physical evidence, so it's almost fine, so you don't have to pay so much attention to it...... Li Qing thought secretly.

~

Three days later, King Ning's Mansion.

Zhu Quan got the report, greeted him out, and said with a smile: "Yongqing Hou is really polite, and he came to resign." ”

"The prince's words are wrong, and the lower official is here to ...... this time"

"Huh? We've known each other for so many years, and you're out there. Zhu Quan looked affectionate, "But since you're here, you have to have a drink." ”

Li Qing touched his nose, "Then ...... Eating and chatting? ”

"Hahaha...... Chat while eating. Zhu Quan laughed heartily and raised his voice: "Butler, hurry up and prepare a sumptuous dish, by the way, bring the old wine that this king treasures." ”

The butler agreed, and hurriedly went to prepare.

"Sir, please." Zhu Quan was polite.

Li Qingqian asked, "Lord Wang, please." ”

Zhu Quan smiled heartily, walked in front with his hands behind his back, humming a little song in his mouth, and his mood was extremely beautiful.
