Chapter 264 Chapter 260 Fifth Secret Meeting ([-])

"The little prince is wise, grass people, grass people..."

Although Wang Panshou had heard a lot about Hongqing's power and had Cao Yin's reminders, but he had never experienced it himself, so he couldn't help being a bit exaggerated, thinking that no matter how capable Hongqing was, he was just a child in his early teens. On the other hand, knowledge alone is not so strong. It is precisely because of this mentality that Wang Panshou thought of testing Hong Qing, but he never expected that Hong Qing would not be so easy to fool. After some analysis, Immediately, Wang Panshou didn't know how to deal with it.

"Don't be nervous, Uncle Wang. Ben Baylor can still trust you. Master Cao has recommended you to Ben Baylor a lot. If Uncle Wang can help you in this mission, Ben Baylor will be able to relax a lot."

Hong Qing's ability to control the situation has long been perfected, this sight has already convinced Wang Panshou, she will not be too selfish, so she laughed and laughed, changed the subject, and spoke very warmly to comfort Wang Panshou Longevity.

"Being able to serve the little prince is truly a blessing for the three lives of the people, and I dare not resign!"

Although he was shocked by Hong Qing's insight, Wang Panshou didn't intend to act on it, but his words were extremely sweet. If it wasn't for the slight flash of light in his eyes, he might really be able to Hid Hong Qing from the past.

"It's good that Uncle Wang has such a heart, and Ben Baylor can rest assured. Well, it's the same topic as before. Ben Baylor is very curious about why the salt tax has not followed the population growth. I would like to ask Uncle Wang to enlighten me."

Hong Qing is such a shrewd person, and his ability to observe facial expressions is definitely among the top figures in the world. Although the brilliance in Wang Panshou's eyes is only fleeting, how can it be hidden from Hong Qing's eyes, isn't it? However, Hong Qing didn't intend to point it out, but thanked her with a smile, and then changed the topic back, holding on to the core issue, leaving no room for Wang Panshou to dodge.

"This this……"

Hearing that Hong Qing turned the topic here again, Wang Panshou felt as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis, and it was not for any other reason, just because he had just said that he would help Hong Qing, and now he couldn't help himself. It's easy to say that I don't know the details, but what to say, his own hands and feet are really clean, and if Hong Qing catches him and punishes him, Wang Panshou will have to live with it. gone.

"Cunmiao, tell me, what's going on here?"

As soon as Wang Panshou hesitated, Hong Qing's originally smiling face immediately sank as if turning over a book, but she didn't push her anymore, but turned her head to look at the man who was standing behind her father. Wang Cunmiao asked with a slightly cold voice.

"I..., so that the little prince will know that the reason why the salt tax has not increased is probably due to the flood of private salt."

Unexpectedly, when Hong Qing called her name, Wang Cunmiao immediately panicked. After struggling for a while, she gritted her teeth and gave the answer.

"Well, go on."

Although what Wang Cunmiao said was true, it was just a general talk, and it never touched the reality at all. Such an answer naturally did not satisfy Hong Qing, but the Wang family and his son did not get angry about it, they just nodded indifferently. , and then asked further.

"Returning to my little prince, there are only two modes of operation for salt smugglers. One is to entrain, that is, to use less salt to lure more salt, and the other is to openly traffic in smuggled salt. No matter which one, you must It is necessary to open up the joints of all parties, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

After all, Wang Cunmiao was young, and being forced by Hong Qing so much, he was already a little flustered, and hurriedly peeked at his father's face, and when he saw his father nodding his head calmly, he quickly restrained himself, He replied cautiously.

"Well, so to speak, the salt boat transported by your royal family to the capital took the first route. Ben Belle is right, huh?"

It is an extremely difficult task to rectify the salt affairs. Before leaving Beijing, Hongqing already knew it well. If she really wants to do it smoothly, she must have the cooperation of the four major general merchants. It was the reason why Hong Qing came to the Cao Mansion first, so that the Wang family could be used. However, if one thought that with Cao Yin's cooperation, the Wang family would be willing to help, then it would be a mistake. It's too simple. If you really want to take down the Wang family, you still need to spend a lot of effort. In view of this, Hong Qing did not rejoice at Wang Cunmiao's cooperative attitude, but unceremoniously revealed the truth about the Wang family. The incident of smuggling salt in the past.

"Little prince Mingjian, my Wang family is still good, then Liu..."

After all, Wang Cunmiao was young and vigorous, and when Hong Qing said this, his face immediately became uneasy, and Kang Sheng wanted to defend himself.

"Cough cough."

Before Wang Cunmiao could finish speaking, Wang Panshou had fake coughed twice, which immediately woke Wang Cunmiao up, stopped his mouth in embarrassment, and lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at Hong Qing's face again. .

"Why is this, old man Wang, hey, do you really think that Ben Baylor knows nothing about the things on the salt road? After all, then Liu Banu is the primary target that Ben Baylor wants to bring down this time. Of course, if someone wants Ben Baylor will not be polite if he replaces them with his own body, and the four major salt merchants on the left and right are not listening, so it is not a big deal to replace them all."

When Wang Panshou made such a fake cough, Hong Qing immediately changed his face. Not only did he unscrupulously point out the target to be attacked in this trip, but he also scolded Wang Panshou mercilessly, until Wang Panshou was blushing, but He didn't dare to say a word.

"The little prince is very wise. The common people knew about it early in the morning. It's just that Liu Banu, haha, it's not the grassroots guessing. I'm afraid her background is not inferior to the young prince. If you are really strong, then..."

Although Wang Panshou is quite a man of the city, but in front of his son, being reprimanded by Hong Qing like this, his face was also a little bit uneasy. After a moment of silence, he asked back with hints.

Heh, you're really a cunning old man. He's playing aggressive games with us. It's interesting!

Hong Qing is an excellent negotiator, just listening to it, she already understood what Wang Panshou's intentions were, and the left and right were just to provoke Hong Qing to smash Liu Banu's brand, so he could escape the disaster. From Qing's point of view, it was really unbearable.

"What's the big deal, isn't it that Ben Belle's eighth uncle, who has always been known to the world, is standing behind him, so what, a mere salt merchant, who dares to do something rebellious, is the eighth uncle here, Don’t dare to make irresponsible remarks, let alone a dog under his family, if you kill it, you will kill it, what’s the point.”

Even though she knew exactly what Wang Panshou's intentions were, Hong Qing didn't care at all. She curled her lips in disdain, and explained Liu Banu's origin in one gulp. The father and son of the Wang family couldn't help shivering in shock.

"Little prince, you, I'm afraid you don't know something. That Liu Banu is extremely powerful, not to mention that everyone in the officialdom gives her some face, even in the world, no one dares to oppose her. If you don't pay attention , I am afraid that it will inevitably be plotted by him, and we must be careful in everything."

Hearing Hong Qing's words were full of murderous intent, Wang Panshou was startled, and he was really afraid that Hong Qing would suffer a big loss. If he blamed his Wang family, the consequences would not be something a mere Wang family could bear. There was nothing he could do. I had no choice but to speak out in a hurry.

"Old man Wang just needs to be at ease. Ben Baylor knows it well and will never act rashly. However, Ben Baylor will never let a bastard like Liu Banu go. This one requires the cooperation of old man Wang before it can be done." If there is a possibility of a safe solution, I wonder if Old Man Wang is willing to help?"

What should be threatened has already been threatened, and what should be revealed has already been revealed. Hong Qing naturally didn't want to go around in circles, so she changed the subject and returned to the question she asked earlier.

"I would also like to ask the little prince to show you, but what Xiaocaomin can do, I dare not give up."

Hearing that Hong Qing turned back to such a question, she obviously realized that her previous rhetoric was just perfunctory. No matter how deep Wang Panshou's residence is, she couldn't help but blushed for it, and secretly grew a mouthful. The atmosphere, forced to calm the turbulent mood, bowed his lower body with a cautious expression, and expressed his attitude cautiously.

"Okay, that's what I want. Don't worry, Uncle Wang. Ben Baylor is definitely not a person who is difficult for the strong. It is not difficult to ask Uncle Wang to do things. There are three things to say. One, that is to invite Uncle Wang Secretly collect some bad deeds of Liu Banu and others bullying men and women. If you can get real evidence, it will be even better. Pay attention to the behavior of Liu Banu, and if there is any illegal salt trafficking, please inform Ben Baylor as soon as possible. As for the third thing, since Uncle Wang brought illegal salt with him when he transported salt to the capital, it has been detected by the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ben Baylor must have As for the punishment, please ask Uncle Wang Haihan to deal with this one, but for these three, I wonder if Old Uncle Wang can do it?"

Wang Panshou's words were obviously much more conservative than the previous bold words, but Hong Qing knew that this answer was Wang Panshou's true words, so she twitched the corner of her mouth, showed a gratified smile, and clapped her hands and said hello After that, he explained the three requirements in detail.

"Is that all three?"

Wang Panshou had been waiting for Hongqing Lion to open his mouth, but he never expected that Hongqing made only three inconspicuous requests. Suspicions arose in his heart, and he couldn't help but blurt out the words of doubt. As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and his old face flushed instantly.

"That's right. Is it possible for Uncle Wang to do these three things?"

Naturally, it is impossible for Hongqing to pin all her hopes of breaking the game on Wang Panshou, she has already made other arrangements, but, it goes without saying that getting the cooperation of local snakes like Wang Panshou will be of great benefit to breaking the game. Hong Qing would not break the plan at this time, so she just smiled and nodded in response.

"Okay, even if Cao Min fights to the death, he must do these three things for the little prince!"

Seeing that Hongqing didn't look like he was joking, Wang Panshou's uneasy heart calmed down a little, and he made a promise without any further hesitation.
