Chapter 260 Provocation
Wu Family Salt Shop.

Du Zhixin said: "The county government said Tang Ergeng was killed by an assassin from the north, don't you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

"The assassin has already made a confession."

"I still don't believe it."

The person who spoke was a member of Wu Tong's tribe, named "Wu Hou", who was born big and three rough, with a rather aggressive look on his face, and came from Junlian Prefecture after the New Year.

"On the contrary, I'm a little bit convinced." Du Zhixin said, "The Lu family and the Yin family sell official salt. It's their normal reaction to seek the government. They shouldn't do it first."

Wu Hou was too lazy to listen to this, he rubbed his neck, rubbed out a piece of dirt, squeezed it in his hands, and said: "My brother sent me here to protect the business of Qingfu. If someone does something to our people, I will do it." he."

Du Zhixin said: "The problem is that the county government closed all the cases, maybe it wasn't the salt merchants' hands, we are here to do business..."

"Shopkeeper, let me ask you, what did Li County Lieutenant say?" Wu Hou interrupted him and asked, "You really won't let us stand out?"

"If there is any trouble, we will settle it ourselves, and he will take care of it for us."

Wu Hou grinned, "Hey" and said, "That's it, and I still get my brother six thousand coins a year."

"You can't say that. With him in charge, we dare to come to Qingfu to sell salt."

"Okay, that's it, don't let me find out that someone is against us."

Wu Hou flicked the dirt in his hand to the ground, stood up and walked outside.

……

In the evening, Du Zhixin turned back to the backyard, and not long after, he saw Wu Hou dragging a man back with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Who is this person?"

Wu Houdao: "A servant of the Lu family."

As he spoke, he kicked the man in the face and said, "What's his name?"

"Hu Chuan."

Wu Hou casually took a dagger and threw it on the ground, saying, "Where did it come from?"

Hu Shuan was stepped on the ground, looked at the dagger in front of him, and said, "I...I found it in my room."

"Fuck you!" Wu Hou stomped on it again, making him yelp.

Du Zhixin couldn't understand, and asked, "What's going on?"

Wu Hou stepped on his feet again, then snorted, and said, "This is Tang Ergeng's dagger, I gave it to him."

"How did you find it?"

Wu Hou pointed to Hu Shuan on the ground, and said: "This kid killed Tang Ergeng and picked up this dagger. A beggar saw this and took me to catch this kid, and found the pawnshop receipt on him. He took the dagger Done."

"Brother...I don't have one!" Hu Shuan shouted, "I really found this dagger in my house...I haven't killed anyone."

Du Zhixin frowned, picked up the dagger on the ground, and said, "This is not right."

"What's wrong?"

"Tang Ergeng was strangled to death because he couldn't even get a dagger with him? Was he strangled to death by this idiot?"

Hu Shuan shouted: "That's right...that's to say, I really don't know what's going on, it's really just changing clothes on New Year's Eve, I found this dagger in the closet, I pawned it yesterday, I really don't know anything else ...don't hit...don't hit."

"That's the person you have an accomplice who killed me together!" Wu Hou kicked again and again, cursing: "You don't even want to recruit."

Du Zhixin stopped Wu Hou suddenly, and asked Hu Shuan, "I heard that a few days ago, the county government sent people to search Lu's house? It said that the assassin from the north was hiding in Lu's house."

"Yes! Yes! On the second day, I picked up this dagger."

Du Zhixin said: "Then it makes sense."

Wu Hou asked, "How?"

"It is true that the assassin from the north killed Tang Ergeng, took this dagger, and hid in Lu's house. The county government sent people to search, and the assassin left this dagger when he fled."

"Yes! That's it!" Hu Shuan shouted, "This gentleman is too smart."

Du Zhixin smiled faintly, and said to Wu Hou: "Let him go, we are here to do business..."

~~
"Damn."

Jiang Fan spat out.

He was shrinking at the entrance of the alley when he saw Hu Shuan coming out of the backyard of Wu's salt shop, walking staggeringly.

"Brother, what's the matter? These private salt dealers have become vegetarians? They don't kill them?" asked a man dressed as a beggar.

"I don't know." Jiang Fan said, "Ms. Yan's plan is such a bullshit, it won't work."

"what's next?"

"Go up and ask and you will know..."

~~
Hu Shuan had just approached Lu's house when a figure suddenly appeared from the oblique ground.

"Huh, Team Leader Jiang?"

"I heard that you were arrested? I came here to save you."

"Yes."

"Say it here, what's going on?"

Hu Shuan explained the matter and said, "Hey, that shopkeeper is too smart."

"Yeah, so smart."

Jiang Fan sighed, and stabbed Hu Shuan's heart with a knife.

"Uh, Jiang Ban..."

"puff."

Jiang Fan stabbed again, left the body behind, turned and left.

~~
"killed?"

Yan Yunyun was still wearing that half of the ghost mask, deliberately showing her burned face, her eyes were full of excitement.

Jiang Fan exhaled and said, "Kill it."

"Why don't you put the body at the door of Lu's house?"

"I……"

Jiang Fan froze for a moment and asked, "Do you want to do this?"

"It's too late this time, next time."

"Is there a next time?" Jiang Fan asked: "Du Zhixin is very smart, he won't suspect that we are provoking?"

"He's so smart." Yan Yunyun said, "The county government has closed the case. He looks like he wants to settle the matter. He won't doubt it."

Jiang Fan asked again: "Do you really need to tell the county captain?"

"Did Alang tell you how to do it?" Yan Yunyun pointed to the account book on the table, and said: "Including the expansion of archers, did Alang tell you in detail?"

"No, just ask me to come to you to pay."

"That's it." Yan Yunyun smiled, looking very happy, and said: "A Lang trusted me and left this matter to me."

"understood."

Yan Yunyun was still talking, muttering: "Ah Lang knows that I am vicious and will kill many people. He doesn't ask questions, let me do it, understand?"

Jiang Fan was taken aback, and asked, "Who are you going to kill?"

"Tomorrow night, kill Du Zhixin again, so that you don't have to be afraid that he will suspect us."

"Miss Yan, you...won't you wait for Mr. Yi Ning to come back? We..."

Yan Yunyun suddenly put her face in front of Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan was startled, and subconsciously leaned back.

"Alang used me, a woman, to transfer you out of the barracks, not because he couldn't do these things, but because he had few people available under his command. If he wants to wait for his brother to come back, what do you need? What do you want me to do?"

Jiang Fan stood up, concealing his panic just now, and said lightly: "Understood, it's just killing people, I'm good at it."

~~
The next day, Du Zhixin and Wu Hou walked into Qinxiang Teahouse.

"I heard that the Lu family has reported the crime." Yan Yunyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will take care of this matter."

"We didn't kill people." Du Zhixin said.

"Whether it is true or not, the Lu family has already sued Shopkeeper Du, but we will settle it."

Du Zhixin said: "I suspect that the Lu family killed it themselves and framed us."

Yan Yunyun said casually: "It doesn't matter, he's just a small person, if he doesn't delay your salt sales, why should he do anything?"

Wu Hou grinned and said, "That is to say, Li Xianwei didn't confiscate the money, so can this trivial matter be settled?"

"Don't just mention that my family, Alang, took the money." Yan Yunyun said lightly, "I will introduce a person for the two of you, and you can find him if you have anything to do in the future."

While talking, Jiang Fan walked in from the door.

"This is our newly appointed archer squad leader in Qingfu County. He is in charge of the strong squad and has the highest status among the three squads. From now on, whenever the two of you have any troubles, he will deal with them..."

"It turned out to be Team Leader Jiang, sorry."

"Treasurer Du should know that Wu Ang, the original team leader, is the owner of the landlord. The landlord has always opposed the private salt business. Now I'm here to help your business."

At this point, Jiang Fan said, "I have already found out about Hu Shuan's death. He had a conflict with another servant of the Lu family, and the murderer has already been taken down."

"Leader Lao Jiang has bothered... But we really didn't kill people."

"Ha, does it matter?"

Wu Hou also grinned loudly, and said: "Haha, if I had known Bantou Jiang was so powerful, I would have killed that Hu Chuan last night."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly.

Yan Yunyun clapped his hands and said, "Whether it's Tang Ergeng or Hu Geng, this matter is over like this. Shopkeeper Du can make a fortune in Qingfu County with peace of mind."

Du Zhixin smiled and said: "It's easy to talk, easy to talk. I'm hosting a banquet tonight, and I invite Team Leader Jiang to have a party."

"Treasurer Xie Du's hospitality."

Yan Yunyun got up, picked up a cup of tea, and said, "I will replace wine with tea, and I wish Shopkeeper Du a prosperous business."

……

After leaving the teahouse, Wu Hou smiled again and said: "It seems that we are in Qingfu County, and we can really be the same as we are in Junlian Prefecture."

"Don't act recklessly." Du Zhixin said, "We are businessmen, we should avoid murder and arson, and use games to deal with our opponents."

"It was the salt merchant who provoked it first."

"In short, this is the end of the matter. We are selling private salt, and the price alone can overwhelm them..."
