Zhou Ran listened to Shui Qingtian's words, was stunned for a moment, and then asked Tao Ziyun tentatively: "It sounds like you are high-ranking officials, if you don't say it, forget it." If you don't tell me, I'm not sure what you're coming from, so I'll treat you as new arrivals. If you don't dislike it, welcome to the Humble House, and let me entertain you. ”

Tao Ziyun thought about it, he saw that Zhou Ran was dressed plainly, and only asked him out of concern. Listening to Zhou Ran's tone, sure enough, his family was having a hard time, so Tao Ziyun replied: "There is no need to entertain us." I want to ask, I heard that well salt mining is prevalent in this place, as soon as we came here, we asked you, it was the first time we talked to someone, and we met a person who mined well salt, how could it be so coincidental?"

Zhou Ran smiled bitterly: "A person like me who looks shabby, in the local area, is generally a person who mines well salt, and this line of work is coolie." If you don't greet well-dressed rich and noble people, but ask a humble person like me, you will meet the coolies who mine well salt. ”

Tao Ziyun continued to ask kindly: "So that's the case. Do you know where and by whom the smuggled salt is mined?"

Zhou Ran stopped and didn't leave, looking a little hesitant.

"Why did you stop? You can't afford to mess with the people who deal in the illegal salt, can you?" Tao Ziyun asked softly.

"Because it's already at my doorstep. Zhou Ran pointed to a private house on the side of the road with a closed door, and then replied affirmatively: "You asked me about those who mine and sell illegal salt, and it makes me difficult, but I don't know about them." Even if you meet that kind of person, he won't tell you the location of the salt wells where they mine the smuggled salt, because their location is hidden. ”

"If you don't know, forget it. Tao Ziyun believed that what Zhou Ran said was the truth, and he couldn't ask Zhou Ran about the place where the salt was mined privately, so he had to stop here, "Okay, let's stop, don't delay you going home to rest." ”

"You don't want to come to my house to eat coarse tea and light rice. I understand that. Well, just like that, the grass people retired. Zhou Ran lowered his head, walked to the door of his house, took out the key and opened the door and went in.

"What now?" Yuyuan asked Tao Ziyun in confusion in the lost city, "This is where the Yamen of the Simu Mansion is located, why don't we go to the Yamen to find the prefect?" ”

"Don't go to the prefect now, since the private salt merchant is so hidden, we don't have to rush to do it. Next. We walked around, then found a place to eat, had lunch and went back, walking. Tao Ziyun easily made the next step, turned around and turned back to the place where he had just walked, he was going to go shopping in the lively section.

Moss Yu hugged her daughter, Yuyuan held her son in the lost city, and followed Tao Ziyun around, feeling very aggrieved. Moss Yu complained, "If this continues, how can we handle things here?"

Lu Chahua hugged Tao Ruizi from Moss Yu's hand, and Shui Qingtian hugged Tao Youbei from Yuyuan in the Lost City.

Tao Ziyun comforted Moss Yu and said: "Don't be in a hurry, be in a hurry." It's hard to get things done. ”

Moss Yu grabbed Qin Jili in his hand from his shoulder and sighed: "Alas, it's really boring. I asked Qin Ji to go to the capital and greet Yuan Luoying and Chang. ”

Tao Ziyun added: "Let it go." Call it back when the time comes. Go straight back to the sequence, because by then we were already home. ”

Moss Yu threw Qin Ji into the air lightly, and Qin Ji quickly looked in the direction of the capital and flew away.

"The hotel is elegant and chic. We went in for lunch and then went home. Tao Ziyun led the way into a shop called "Chuandong Restaurant", and then a shopkeeper came to greet him, asked Tao Ziyun to sit down at a table, and then asked him to order.

"I don't want to eat, I'm a goddess, I don't have to eat. Following Tao Ziyun, they sat at the table with Shui Qingtian and handed Tao Youbei to Yuyuan in the lost city.

Yuyuan hugged his son in the lost city, greeted Shui Qingtian with a gloomy face and said, "Girl Shui, you don't matter, right? It looks like your face is not good, are you sick or angry?"

Shui Qingtian replied angrily: "I'm very disappointed, it seems that you, Lord Tao, are very ineffective." ”

Tao Ziyun, who had already ordered the food, pretended to be surprised and asked the goddess: "Water girl, you don't have to be like this, right? Anyway, you have already decided that you are going to live in the Laojun Temple in our hometown, whether I can handle the matter here or not, it doesn't matter to you, right?"

Without waiting for Shui Qingtian to express his position again, Yuyuan said to Tao Ziyun in the Lost City: "The private salt merchant is too hidden, and there is no way to do it." When you are here, although you are dissatisfied with these places, you do not directly inquire about the mundane things here, but only occasionally treat the local people. Why do you care so much?"

Moss Yu said to Shui Qingtian seriously: "Yes, Shui Girl, you went to the south because you don't like to stay here anymore. We welcome you to put down roots and live in our hometown. If I deal with this side too well, and you have a nostalgic heart for this side, you don't like to come to us, won't it make us feel disappointed on the other side?"

Shui Qingtian sternly said: "Since you want me to live with you, you have to do something to make me happy! ”

Tao Ziyun scratched his head and said to Shui Qingtian in embarrassment: "I still thought of a way, but it was very troublesome." I was inspired by your experience of going down into a well and following the groundwater to the south. I thought, after I went back, let He Niu, who was good at diving, come with her, and tell her to go down from a certain open well, follow the salt water, find out the wellheads leading to the surface one by one, mark the location of each salt well, and then I will lead people to seal up the salt wells of those private salt merchants, and punish those private salt merchants. ”

"It's really troublesome, if you want to come to the east of Sichuan, there are so many salt wells, and you have to find them one by one from the ground, which is a big project. When Lu Cha said this, several women were stunned.

The shopkeeper delivered the meals to the table one by one, and Shui Qingtian said to everyone: "Don't learn from me, you can eat! Anyway, I am a goddess who doesn't need to eat." I have thought about it, and now I am out of the way! I have changed my old practice of not interfering directly in mortal affairs, and I am ready to go down the mine myself to find the salt pit of a private salt merchant. No matter how many salt wells there are and how troublesome it is to find them, I will do my best. Eat, I'll do it now, wait here for news from me, and I'll meet you here in the evening. ”

The people who traveled with her, because of Shui Qingtian's new decision, gave her a burst of cheers.

Tao Ziyun said to Shui Qingtian excitedly and appreciatively: "Water girl, your spirit is commendable! Go ahead, as you said, we are waiting for your news here." ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Shui Qingtian stood up and walked towards the door of the hotel. (To be continued......)
