Today, it can be said that selling illicit salt is the most profitable business, and rice and grain can only rank second. Although it is state-run, it is not impossible to buy and sell privately, but salt will be taxed, and heavy taxes will be levied, and the salt that has been taxed is official salt.

Obviously, the twelve carts of salt escorted by Gu Xiaoyue did not pay taxes. However, this kind of thing is not uncommon, as long as the merchant buys the relationship, let the dart bureau transport the illicit salt out of the city as goods. The darts protected by the Zhengyou Dart Bureau are not considered by ordinary people. There is also a lot of money to buy off the relationship, but it is definitely much lower than the tax on these twelve carts of salt.

Nowadays, the general price of rice is 10 yuan a liter, and the price of salt is one tael of silver per liter, which is a hundred times more expensive than rice. These twelve carts of private salt are enough to make this man a lot of money.

Everyone present knew Gu Xiaoyue's identity and background, his father Gu Guozhang was Lei Hong's sworn brother, and a dart like this eldest lady Bao was already doing a good deed, as long as she didn't go out to harm people.

Gu Guozhang's trading of darts is not bad, although he often transports some improper things, but at least he does not take the initiative to cause trouble. As long as he knows this, Li Jing will be very relieved. Li Jing didn't want a second night in the realm of Datang to appear Lei Hong.

In fact, with Gu Guozhang's identity and strength, he has such qualifications, but Gu Guozhang's temperament has indeed changed greatly after he got married, so many people are grateful to Gu Guozhang's wife, Yufu, for being able to govern one of the people who fought all over the world at that time. Even many people asked Gu Guozhang's wife for advice on how to govern their husbands.

In fact, this is completely because Gu Guozhang is too affectionate, and he identified this woman at first sight, and whatever she says is what she says. Gu Guozhang has never complained, and the two of them have spent half their lives together, and they are very satisfied.

Dugu Xingyue said: "Xiaoyue, I can't believe all the things I taught you before, and you have to see your own feelings in the future." Do whatever you want, Master's words are for reference only. ”

Gu Xiaoyue nodded awkwardly, only she understood what Dugu Xingyue was talking about. When Dugu Xingyue taught her to practice swords a few years ago, she told her that women are no worse than men, and it is good to live alone. Dugu Xingyue did think so at that time, but after seeing Zong Xin, her mind changed. Until now, Dugu Xingyue found that as a woman, she had to find a man to live, although women were no worse than men, there were still many things that she couldn't do by herself, and she needed the help of men.

In fact, Dugu Xingyue didn't care about Zongxin's fame and martial arts, as long as the two of them could hug each other and say a few words of confidant words before going to bed, they would be satisfied.

Dugu Xingyue knows the feeling of a long night best, how many times has a person woken up and felt a little unwell, and wanted to talk to someone, but there was no one around. That feeling Dugu Xingyue really doesn't want to experience anymore, now it's okay, even if Zong Xin is not a demon, he will sleep with him, and it's good for everyone to take care of each other.

exchanged a few words of greetings, and Dugu Xingyue waited for Zongxin to eat attentively. In fact, Dugu Xingyue felt that it was good for Zong Xin to have one less hand, so that he could serve him well when eating. In the past, I used to help him pour food and wine, but now I can feed him directly, Dugu Xingyue likes this feeling very much.

The demon didn't serve so attentively, but occasionally served Zong Xin with vegetables. After all, Dugu Xingyue is older, she prefers to serve people, and the age of the demon is more casual.

While eating, a middle-aged woman less than thirty years old walked in from outside the door, looking graceful and luxurious, and by no means an ordinary family.

Xiao Er immediately stepped forward and said politely: "This grandmother, the small shop was contracted by that monk, please choose another one." ”

"I'm here to find someone. The woman walked directly to Zongxin's side, looked at it carefully, and then said: "This is Master Zongxin, it is rumored that there is a rare monk in the Buddhism sect, and it is indeed worthy of his reputation." I didn't expect to be able to meet Master Zongxin in Bengzhou, it was really a coincidence. ”

Zong Xin said: "You didn't come for me, did you? ”

"How can the master see it?"

"Although you were the first to walk to the poor monk, there was a slight surprise in your eyes, and it was indeed a coincidence that you did not come to find the poor monk. You said you were looking for someone, you should be looking for a bodyguard. ”

The woman admired: "Yes, it was the folk woman who came to find Miss Gu." ”

"You talk. ”

The woman took out a small box from her arms, and then said, "Miss Gu, I want to ask the Zhengyou Dart Bureau to protect the dart, and it is me who protects it." If Miss Gu is willing to send me safely to Jinling, the contents of this box will be used as a thank you gift. ”

Gu Xiaoyue opened the box, and suddenly a faint purple light appeared, followed by a refreshing fragrance. Everyone looked at it, there was a purple Bodhi inside, according to legend, the Buddha meditated under the Bodhi tree for 7749 days to attain enlightenment, and the Bodhi tree also got the Dharma and turned into a sacred tree, which occasionally appeared in front of the world, and the fruit on the tree was the purple Bodhi.

Legend has it that Purple Bodhi can raise up the dead, flesh and bones, and even if mortals eat Purple Bodhi and cannot become immortals, they can greatly increase their longevity.

Everyone is familiar with this legend, but it's just a legend. The real Purple Bodhi is a healing elixir produced in the Western Regions, and it has a very significant effect on both external and internal injuries. Because it is extremely precious, it is rare for ordinary people to see it. Because the shape is very similar to a Bodhi, this legend is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Gu Xiaoyue covered the box, then shook her head and said, "This thank you gift is very attractive, but I can't take this dart." My father ordered that his dart master must not take the dart privately, otherwise he will be severely punished. ”

"What is this grape?" Zong Xin suddenly asked, because he also saw that this was a good thing, and it could actually emit a purple light, and the aroma was tangy. As a foodie, Zongxin really wanted to put it in his mouth and taste it immediately.

The woman explained: "This thing is the purple Bodhi, the legend is not true, this is just an extremely rare fruit, the person who practices martial arts will improve his skill when he eats the purple Bodhi, and the injured person can also help recover from the injury and that's it, it is not like the legend that eating it can become an immortal." ”

"It just so happens that I'm a little injured, give me this grape, and I'll take you to Jinling......"

Before Zong Xin finished speaking, several pairs of hands immediately grabbed him, and both hands covered his mouth. Of course, the demon and Dugu Xingyue covered their mouths, and they couldn't let Zong Xin mess around like this. Li Yu and Zhao Kuangyin grabbed Zong Xin's arm while Tianya hugged his thigh. Everyone was nervous, and Zongxin wanted to die again.

"Mmmmmm............mmmm

"Husband, this woman's origin is definitely not simple, she is willing to take out a purple Bodhi and let others send her to Jinling. It is two days faster than Jinling, and less than three or five days slower, don't you think something is strange? A smart person like Fujun must not be willing to take risks just to taste the taste of this purple Bodhi, right? ”

The demon kept nodding, Dugu Xingyue was really smart, if the demon was to say it, it would not be so accurate. It's just a hurry to get him not to buy and sell indiscriminately, let alone such an obvious trap.

Everyone can see that this woman is not simple. It was possible to take out a purple Bodhi in her hand, and only need to protect her for a few days, this kind of trading was too simple, too simple to be believed. Obviously, if it weren't for the threat to her life, she would never have traded Zi Bodhi for her own life.

Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't get me wrong, I don't really want to protect her. I just want to get the purple Bodhi in my hands and eat it and it's over. Her life or death has nothing to do with me, anyway, when the time comes, I won't admit it, and the thing has entered the stomach and died without proof. Otherwise, it's easier to kill her here and snatch this purple Bodhi. Anyway, someone must be chasing and killing her, and we can help her get rid of her as soon as possible. ”

I can't believe it, I really can't believe that a high-ranking monk would say such shameless words. Zi Bodhi is indeed a good thing, he actually wants to directly snatch Zi Bodhi and then kill someone. This approach...... It's too cheap, it's too shameless, let alone a monk, even ordinary people won't be so shameless.

Instead of getting angry, the woman next to her smiled softly. The others were also quite curious, why did this woman still think it was funny? Didn't she understand what Zong Xin meant? Zong Xin wanted to kill her and then occupy the purple Bodhi, and she even laughed.

The woman said: "Master Zongxin is a high-ranking monk, and he will definitely not do this." A folk woman is a woman, and she doesn't know martial arts, how can the master be able to do it. ”

"You can do it~!" Zong Xin said as a matter of course: "Don't say it's a woman, the child will be beaten, and the old man will be killed." I just killed an old man in his seventies a few days ago. ”

Everyone admires it, and only Zong Xin is so shameless. He did kill Huang Fuhui a few days ago, and the old general is indeed not young. This kind of thing is usually hidden, that is, Zongxin has the face to say it. The most excessive thing is that Zong Xin did not feel a trace of guilt, but was very proud.

The woman said embarrassedly: "Master Zongxin, are you willing to guarantee me to go to Jinling?"

"What the hell is going on, let's talk about it carefully. If I can, I'll be responsible for keeping you going to Jinling. ”

The woman said: "The people's surname is Chen, and when I was young, they called me Xi'er. When he was seventeen years old, he married the owner of Baiyun Village, and the husband and wife were ruthless for a few years, so they had another relationship. Recently, I found that someone was secretly spying, and the owner must be suspicious, but unfortunately I went back to Jinling to do business. So I only had to make a plan early, this purple Bodhi was given to me for protection, and now I just ask someone to take me to Jinling to find that good friend, that conscienceless good identity is prominent, and he must be safe to protect me, otherwise I will definitely die. I happened to see the dart flag of Zhengyou Dart Bureau, so I thought I would drag Miss Gu to send me back to Jinling, with Miss Gu by my side, and I didn't dare to do anything to the owner of Baiyunzhuang. If you don't agree, the woman has no choice but to take the purple Bodhi home and quietly put it back in its place, just begging the owner not to find out. ”
