Salt is only called official salt, that is because this kind of thing is under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and anyone who moves is going to lose their heads, which is the case in the previous dynasties of history.

There is a saying among the people, it is better to kill a hundred people than not to use a single salt.

The official camp of salt greatly increased the financial revenue of the imperial court, and it can be said that the benefits were enough to support a war, and many wealthy merchants and magnates lost their heads because of this piece of meat.

This has always been a taboo, but there are quite a few of them in Liu's mansion, which is really interesting.

Xu Ping'an said: "The people of the Celestial Empire love food, and the so-called food is not tired of being fine, and the so-called food is not tired of being fine, but the Liu family will not accumulate so much official salt to eat." ”

"Interesting and interesting, the surface scenery of Yangzhou City, the beauty is better than the Qionglin of Yaochi, but there is so much darkness and dirt hidden behind the scenes. ”

Li Ji said: "Childe, do you want to attack them?"

The corners of his mouth hooked, picked up the piece of official salt, and said: "Who am I, hero! Since I have encountered this incident, I can't turn a blind eye, even if there is a big hand behind it, I will tear it open." ”

"Then let's go directly to the Assassin's Mansion to find Yu Xun, and hand over this evidence to him, it should be possible to convict the Liu family, and that Liu Er in the province bullied the street and the market all day long. Li Ji said.

"You are stupid, the Liu family is not an ordinary person, it is not so easy to bring down, and these official salts don't mean anything, and they are not ironclad evidence. ”

"Then I'll go to Liu's house again and force him to draw a charge!" Li Ji rubbed his hands and said seriously, like a jealous and hateful master of the rivers and lakes.

Xu Ping'an knocked on the door of Li Ji's head with his index finger, rolled his eyes and said, "You nerd, no wonder your martial arts are so high, and the master never lets you go out, how can your IQ carry so many mysteries of martial arts?"

Li Ji touched his head, grinned with a pair of front teeth, and smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he liked Gongzi to laugh and scold him for being stupid.

"The Liu family, like Natian Baichuan, is not a big role, and it is definitely not something they can do to be able to illicit the flow of water bandits, and to make a grand plan for the benefit of the court. ”

"The rivers and lakes are so big and there are so many capable people that it is impossible to do it by force. ”

"Today, Yu Xun said at the gate of the city that he couldn't startle the snake, and he shot at will, it seems that even the big people in the Assassin Mansion know these situations, not to mention that all of them are afraid of nine times out of ten. ”

"If you don't startle the snake, you are either casting a long line to catch a big fish, or you don't dare to move the real boss behind it, and there is no ironclad evidence to prove anything. ”

"I'm afraid there is a huge network of interests behind this, you can't hurt your muscles and bones at all by forcing the painting by force, and without the Liu family, there will be the Zhang family and the Chen family. ”

"And rash action will put the two of us in danger, if the people of the rivers and lakes can act recklessly by force, then what is the use of the Taiping Prison set up by the Son of Heaven?"

"You need to know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people, and the real masters are just that we have just entered the WTO and have not seen them. ”

Li Ji let out an "oh" and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"Don't worry, if we don't go to the Liu family, then Liu Er's eldest brother will also come to us, take your time and play with them. Xu Ping'an smiled, narrowed his eyes, and was a little comfortable.

Maybe it's a teenager who is arrogant, he likes this feeling of having an opponent, and he also likes this feeling of going up against difficulties.

However, acting chivalrous and righteous, saving the people and recovering the sky, this is also a kind of meaning for him to break through the rivers and lakes.

Suddenly, the demon child was talking in her sleep, and she was screaming loudly, "Don't kill your mother, don't kill the demon!"

"Help!"

Xu Ping'an jumped up and trotted to the bed with Li Ji.

The little girl was in a cold sweat, her little hands were still waving, and her frowning brows seemed to have encountered something terrible.

Xu Ping'an couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, how good it would be if there was no suffering in the world.

"You'er, my brother is here, no one will kill you. ”

"Good!"

He said softly, his five fingers caressing the demon's head, gently and slowly.

Sure enough, after repeating this a few times, the demon regained her calm again and stopped talking in her sleep.

Li Ji sighed and said, "Childe, the mother-killing enemy of the demon sister's sister doesn't seem to be from Ivory Mountain. ”

Xu Ping'an let out a low "um", he also saw it, otherwise when she saw those bandits when she entered Ivory Mountain, the little girl would not cry or make trouble.

"I'll talk about this later, anyway, in Yangzhou City, it's time to investigate slowly in the future, you go to sleep first." Tomorrow, Brother Xia will take you to the Yellow Crane Tower for a good meal. ”

He turned his head and smiled at Li Ji again, his snow-white teeth shining in the moonlight. He pees very early and matures, adjusts himself quickly, and does not often immerse himself in depression.

Li Ji was also stupidly smirked by his influence, "Okay, Childe!"

He exited the room, and his burly and stout body barely made a sound when he stepped on the floor, and it didn't make a slight sound until he closed the door, like a ghost.

Originally, Li Ji asked to sleep on the floor and was unwilling to spend more copper plates, but Xu Ping'an sternly refused, on the grounds that you are snoring too loudly at night!

Xu Ping'an slept with the little girl You'er and pinched the quilt for her countless times.

Blowing out the candle flame, Yangzhou is still Yangzhou.

At the same time, in a lobby of Liu's mansion.

It is neat and luxurious, and the tables are full of some precious porcelain, and one piece can cost ten families for a lifetime.

Above the high hall, sat a man in a black suit, his eyebrows protruding, his face dark, and his fingers kept lighting the teacup on the table.

Under the hall, there were three kneeling people, Liu Er and his two attendants.

A painful whimper came from Liu Er's mouth, wanting to scream but not daring to scream, his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He had a slap mark on his cheek, as if it had been imprinted by a mold.

The big pillar, the second pillar is also sincerely afraid, kneeling down and not even daring to breathe.

In the shadow on the side of the high hall, an old man walked out, he was hunched on his back, his face was wrinkled and a little penetrating, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Dazhu, that person is really a master of the inner family?"

Dazhu nodded decisively, and said with a straight face: "Old Qiu, I guarantee this person with the head of Xiang Shang, this person is definitely a master of the inner family, and he must be taught by a teacher, and he belongs to the master of the master!"

His words are half-true, otherwise he will suffer the most cruel punishment.

"Hmph!" the man in the high hall snorted coldly, and with a slight slap of his palm, the teacup flew out directly, and what was surprising was that his hand did not touch the teacup, but slapped it in the air.

"Smack!"

Liu Er lay on his back on the ground, blood was smashed out of his forehead, and white smoke came out of his cheeks from the hot tea.

"Ahh

"Big brother is angry!"

"I... I don't dare... Spare your life...!"

"Old Qiu save me!"

He let out a miserable cry, and kept asking the old man for help, and the whole person rolled on the ground.

"Hmph, you can't be a thing, Lao Tzu went out for a long time, and when you come back, you will make such a big deal for me, it's just that ordinary people are bullying and bullying, but this time I got into trouble with the masters of the rivers and lakes!"

"I also lost hundreds of taels of silver in betting, do you know what Yangzhou City will say about my Liu family tomorrow?"

"I told you to be low-key earlier, now it's different from a few years ago, even the history of Yangzhou Thorn has been removed, do you dare to be so swaggering, fall into the hands of others, and want to kill me?!"

The man who spoke was Liu Er's eldest brother, Liu Yuan, who had just heard about such a thing when he came back from outside the city, and he looked a little angry.

Dazhu and Liu Er were silent, knowing that this family member was angry, and it would be difficult for anyone who dared to touch the moldy head and even die!

In the silence, the candle flame flickered and reflected a few figures, which seemed depressing.

After a long time, the old Qiu spoke up and said to Liu Yuan, "Son, the matter has come to this point, you should think about it, but this matter is good." ”

Liu Yuan exhaled a breath of turbidity, he quickly regained his composure after his anger, and his eyes were as cold as water, which was in stark contrast to Liu Er, who was very inward-looking.

"Xu Ping'an, Xu Ping'an. He muttered a few words, a little puzzled, and then asked Qiu Lao, "Have you ever heard of such a number one person in the rivers and lakes?"

Qiu Lao shook his head and said slowly: "Since the emperor ascended the throne and set up the Taiping Prison, there has been a lot of silence in the rivers and lakes, and many masters have hidden in the deep mountains and are unwilling to accept the domination, and the two young men who are so young may really be from that master's family." ”

"Just when I entered the city, I already learned some news, this Xu Ping'an had escorted a hundred rogues into the city at noon today, and these rogues came from Ivory Mountain. ”

Liu Yuan frowned, he smelled a hint of not very good, and asked, "A hundred rogues?"

Qiu Lao nodded, and said: "And none of these hundred rogues are intact, all of them have blue noses and swollen faces, and it is said that they are all people who have lost a certain ability to move. ”

Liu Yuan closed his eyes and pondered, it is not a good thing to take a hundred Liuliu into the city, which shows that this person is jealous and hateful, and he is a young guy who claims to be Qingliu in the rivers and lakes, and he has some blood and revenge in his heart.

After Qiu Lao groaned, he asked, "Do you know who the leader of the Ivory Mountain Liukou is?"

"Who is it?"

"Wang Hu, a well-known person in the rivers and lakes, was once a famous disciple, but he was expelled from the division because of some things, and since then he has fallen into the grass, gathered a group of bandits by force, and dominated Ivory Mountain, which seems to have some relationship with Tian Baichuan. ”

"This Wang Hu has the strength of a third-rate master, and when he entered the city today, his hands were abolished!"

When the words fell, Liu Yuan stood up with a "rub" sound, a sharp light shot out of his eyes, and exclaimed, "The third-rate master has his hands abolished?"

Qiu Lao nodded solemnly, and said hoarsely: "And these two people seem to have something to do with the Thorn Mansion, and the person who received him at the gate of the city today turned out to be that Yu Xun, Yu Da Chivalry!"

Later, for some reason, Tian Baichuan killed Wang Hu directly, probably because he was afraid of leaving a handle. ”

Liu Yuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Er, you are a vertical, mistake me Liu's mansion!"

Liu Er trembled when he heard this, crawled on the ground and pressed his forehead to the ground, he wanted to cry but couldn't, he originally thought that the eldest brother would also come out of him, but he never wanted to provoke a big person.

Liu Yuan stood for a long time, and then said, "Old Qiu, help me make an appointment with Tian Baichuan, and I will see him tomorrow." ”

Qiu Lao nodded, retreated into the shadows, and disappeared.

The night is getting deeper, and the lights in the lobby of Liu's Mansion are bright.

Suddenly, two painful roars came out, seeping into the scalp tingling.

That belongs to the big pillar and the second pillar.
