"There's a horse for you here, you can get on the horse and hurry!" The prefect of the Simu Mansion shouted to Tao Ziyun while riding to Tao Ziyun's side, and an officer and soldier with a horse arrived later.

Tao Ziyun didn't say polite words, and turned over the horse that was prepared for him. He and the prefect of the Four Eyes Prefecture rode in front, and the other officers and soldiers ran desperately to keep up, and soon came to the place where they were waiting for him with the bean soldiers.

Shui Qingtian happily shouted to Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, you are finally here, come with me." ”

Shui Qingtian called on the moss jade and left with the bean soldiers.

The prefect of Simu Mansion looked at the more than 1,000 bean soldiers in front of him, who were Tao Ziyun's subordinates, he sat on horseback, while making a gesture, he saluted loudly, and respectfully sang to Tao Ziyun: "I don't know if the chief has arrived, the prefect of Simu Mansion Jing Shi, apologize to Lord Tao, and ask Lord Tao to forgive me for the rudeness just now!"

Tao Ziyun rode his horse and followed behind the bean soldiers, and responded to the Jing Governor quietly: "After all, you brought the officers and soldiers to do official affairs, so you don't have to worry so much about you." Before I went to you, I also went to the Taoist of Chuandong, but he ignored my request, the shelf is so big!"

Jing Zhifu and Tao Ziyun rode side by side, and apologized to Tao Ziyun with a smile: "Lord Tao is talking about Lord Tian Yeda, a Taoist member of East Sichuan Province! When you go to him, you can't prove your identity either, right? He snubbed you because of this, which is understandable. Compared with Lord Tian, because the official position of the humble position is relatively low, he attaches more importance to your words, and finally leads the troops out with you, and I hope that Lord Tao will spare the sin of contempt before the humble position. ”

"It's useless for you to defend the Daoist like that. I went to his yamen and asked him to send troops to do official business, and there was no need to prove my identity, because, even if it was an ordinary person, let him do what he should do, and he had to act according to his words. Tao Ziyun explained to the Jing Governor angrily and thought about it. He reminded the prefect of Jing and said, "As for you, in the future, as long as you work hard to do your errand, I don't want to pursue you so much." ”

"I will do my best to handle the next official affairs!" Governor Jing swore his determination, and he suddenly thought of something: "Lord Tao's momentum above the public court, I think you are Lord Luo Siluo, the governor of this province who has not yet met. I heard your subordinates call you Master Tao just now, and I realized that Master Tao had another background. ”

Tao Ziyun smiled contemptuously: "Before this, you thought I was Luo Si, the governor of this province? Because he was in charge of Sichuan, his name was Luo Si, and Sichuan was renamed 'Sanchuan'. It is really arrogant for people to avoid his name so much. Do you think that such an official will be diligent in government affairs, and will handle the official affairs of the Simu Mansion without your knowledge?"

"The lowly has known that he was mistaken. The prefect of Jing admitted the shallowness of his cognition, and then cautiously asked Tao Ziyun: "I don't know what the identity of Lord Tao is?

Tao Ziyun said word by word: "Actually, my grade is not high, but the area under my jurisdiction is large. I am Tao Ziyun, the newly appointed superintendent of Jiangnan Province. ”

Governor Jing's face changed slightly: "It turns out that it is the supervision of the imperial history of the Jiangnan region! So many officials of all sizes in Jiangnan are under your supervision." At any time, you are in danger of being impeached, and the governors and governors of all provinces will be in awe of you! Lord Tao, disrespectful! Disrespectful!"

Tao Ziyun waved his hand firmly to stop: "Needless to say polite words, do the next thing well." That's the most important thing. ”

"Okay, I'm taught. The prefect of Jing responded to this sentence, thinking about something in his heart, and fell silent.

Shui Qingtian took the bean soldiers. I knocked hard in front of the door of a courtyard, but no one came out to open the door.

"Master Tao, this is the place where the illegal salt is mined, right?" the prefect of Jing asked Tao Ziyun sternly. Tao Ziyun nodded lightly, and the prefect of Jing then ordered: "Brothers, rush in!"

The officers and soldiers who followed behind agreed, rushed to the gate of the courtyard, shouted, and then broke in!

Tao Ziyun heard Shui Qingtian talk about the situation inside, the people who were busy inside had never missed, they were defenseless, and no one would come out to open the door. At that moment, he had no intention of reproaching the officers and soldiers who broke down the door, and then hugged into the house.

Tao Ziyun asked the Jing Governor to follow him, and they came to the kitchen with Shui Qingtian.

Under the guidance of Shui Qingtian, the officers and soldiers moved a large iron pot. There was a ready-made thick rope in the kitchen, and according to Tao Ziyun's meaning, some officers and soldiers of the Simu Mansion followed the thick rope and went down the well in turn.

At the mouth of the well, there was a shout from the officers and soldiers arresting people in the basement, and later someone shouted inside: "Master Jing! There is another exit from the basement! Someone has crawled out from there, go and intercept them!"

Tao Ziyun and the Jing Governor glanced at each other, and Tao Ziyun hurriedly greeted the officers and soldiers: "Quick! You go out separately to find the exit! All rooms in the house, in the courtyard and around the outside of the house, you must look carefully, and you can't let them run away!"

Later, there was a shout from the courtyard: "The exit is here! Stop them!"

Several people dressed in people's clothes appeared in the courtyard, and a group of officers and soldiers with sabers in their hands shouted and chased them out of a small room in the courtyard!

When Tao Ziyun and his leaders hurriedly came to the courtyard to look, the officers and soldiers who had already arrived in the courtyard rushed up and caught the people who had just come out of the tunnel.

The matter here is basically settled, Tao Ziyun made his eyes look and let the Jing prefect make the next decision.

The prefect of Jing shouted to the people who were caught, "Has anyone escaped through the other exits!?"

After a moment of silence, one of the people who was caught replied, "If you go back to your lordship, there is no other way to escape, and all of our people have been captured." ”

The prefect of Jing asked suspiciously: "Is there really no other exit? If we find more exits, you will definitely be severely punished!"

The salt miner then replied, "The grass people are telling the truth. Originally, there was only one entrance and exit in the basement, and in the past, our salt miners used to enter and exit from the stove you found in the basement. Because that exit is hidden, it has not been discovered by outsiders all along. Later, we were careless, and in order to facilitate the transportation of salt, we dug another tunnel in a hut in the courtyard to lead to the basement. ”

The officers and soldiers escorted the salt miners inside, and one of the officers and soldiers reported to the prefect of the well: "Lord Qiqijing, that small room is where the pigsty is located, and in the corner next to the pigsty is the exit, and the exit is covered with wooden planks, and the wooden planks are covered with straw, those people are so cunning!"

"Okay! Learn a lesson and go to other places to arrest people!" Tao Ziyun instructed the officers and soldiers to come down, and let Shui Qingtian lead the way and go to other places to arrest people who privately picked salt.

Because they learned a lesson, they acted quickly, and in the first half of the night, they caught all the people who mined salt in the salt well found in Shui Qingtian! (To be continued......
