Chapter 277 Uneven Hearts (Part [-])
With such a thorn in the side of the Wang family, there is no need for He Mingfu to come forward to report, Hongqing has already known that all the salt merchants will gather in the Yamen for salt transportation today, so he will not be unaware of what these salt merchants want What to do, is nothing more than planning to play a trick to deceive the world - the adjustment of the ticket sales plan is false, and the delay is true, and it is enough to drag Hong Qing to leave sadly. There is no time limit in the old man's will for Hongqing's salt affairs rectification, but Hongqing can't be allowed to toss and toss endlessly, at most one year, if there is still no effect, it will be time for Hongqing to be arrested. When they were transferred back to Beijing, in this way, the salt merchants could disintegrate all the offensives that Hong Qing might use, and this was obviously not the situation that Hong Qing wanted to see. He Mingfu's request to adjust the plan has pushed back the root cause.

"My lord, the imperial envoy clearly learned that those salt merchants blocked the official office of the lower official early in the morning. They said that they would come to the imperial envoy to make trouble if they didn't give an explanation. It's calmed down, but if..., hehe, then I don't know what to do as an official."

Seeing that Hong Qing was speechless for a long while, He Mingfu couldn't help but feel a little anxious while being uneasy, so he rolled his eyes and raised his words threateningly.

"Hmm, if you want to come, let them come. Ben Baylor hasn't seen them for a long time, so I miss them very much."

If another person was the imperial envoy, perhaps he would be frightened by the salt merchants gathering to make trouble, but Hong Qing didn't take it seriously, not to mention having such internal support as the Wang family, even if she didn't have it, Hong Qing would also be helpless. Fear, there is nothing else, salt selling is a huge profit industry, as long as there are no major accidents, it is almost guaranteed to make a profit without losing money. It's a big deal, just change them all. In view of this, how could Hong Qing be afraid of He Mingfu's threatening words, but seeing Hong Qing pouted in disdain, it was already He said something nonchalantly.

"Ah, this..."

He Mingfu wanted to use the trouble caused by the salt merchants to force Hong Qing, but he didn't expect Hong Qing to be so tough, she was dumbfounded immediately, the corners of her mouth twitched for a while, but she didn't hesitate to come up with a reason.

"Your Excellency just go, just say that Ben Belle is waiting in the government office, if you want to come, you can come, if you have any requirements, you can ask Ben Belle in person, go."

Since arriving in Yangzhou, Hongqing really hasn't hit the salt merchants directly. Now, since she wants to send her face to the door, it's impossible not to beat them. No matter what He Mingfu thinks, Hongqing can't say anything. An order was issued.

"Ah, yes, yes, I'll go right away, I'll go right away."

As soon as he heard Hong Qing's words in a bad tone, He Mingfu didn't dare to say any more, he promised repeatedly, and left the study, and hurried to his yamen in a sedan chair...

"Master He is here!"

"My lord, how is the situation?"

"Master He, what did the imperial envoy say?"

……

As soon as He Mingfufang walked into the backyard, all the salt merchants who were waiting impatiently surrounded him, asking questions at random.

"The imperial envoy has an order, if you have any opinions, you can go directly to the government office to discuss it face-to-face!"

He Mingfu was really a mouse in the bellows right now, he was irritated at both ends, he couldn't hold back the irritability in his heart, and he didn't care what the salt merchants were making noise, so he yelled in a high-pitched voice.

Dead silence, a dead silence, following He Mingfu's loud roar, all the salt merchants who were yelling at first fell silent in an instant. Obviously, they dared to force He Mingfu, whose hands and feet were not clean, but they really wanted them to talk to Hong Qing. The popular imperial envoy, Baylor, was head-on, but no one had the guts.

"Humph!"

Seeing all the salt merchants staying on the spot, He Mingfu's heart immediately rolled with relief, but it was replaced by frustration in an instant, nothing else, just because the contrast was too strong. Thinking that he has been operating on the salt road for so many years, but he is not as prestigious as a young kid who just arrived, He Mingfu can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but he can't say such complaints, so he can only groan heavily With a sound and a flick of his sleeves, he strode up the hall, walked straight to the big seat in the middle, lifted the hem of his robe, fell down heavily, with a sullen face, and did not say a word anymore.

Seeing He Mingfu being so incompetent and still putting on airs of an official, Liu Banu really hated him to the extreme, but she didn't plan to stand up directly, but quietly gave a secret signal to a confidant salt merchant.

"Everyone, I can't just leave it like this. The big guys go to the government office together. If the boy doesn't give an explanation, I'll stop the market and see how he cleans up!"

Chen Biao, one of the many small salt merchants in the Lianghuai River, has always been close to Liu Ba Nv to make a living. When he received the secret signal from Liu Ba Nv, he didn't dare to neglect it, but seeing her come out proudly, he was filled with righteous indignation He leaped up to the lobby like that, then turned around, facing the salt merchants who were at a loss, rolled up their sleeves, and raised their arms and shouted.

"That's right, that's the reason. If you don't give me an explanation, then the market will be stopped!"

"Yes, let's go together, let's see what the kid can do to me!"

"Go, go, go, whoever dares not to go, don't blame him for slapping him to death!"

……

Everyone has a herd mentality, especially when they are concerned about their own interests, no one is willing to suffer a loss. With Chen Biao taking the lead, the small and medium-sized salt merchants all came alive, and one shouted loudly. One was loud, but what, shouted and shouted, but no one moved, obviously waiting for someone with such a head, nothing else, everyone knows that although Hong Qing is small, his methods are ruthless enough. No one wants to be that early bird who is destined to die a miserable death.

"Brother Wang, everyone is thinking like this, look at this..."

Seeing that the emotions of the small and medium-sized salt merchants have been mobilized, Liu Banu doesn't want to keep silent anymore. Wang Panshou cupped his hands, and asked half a question in a discussion tone.

Liu Banu obviously had no good intentions in asking this question, and she was clearly trying to force Wang Panshou to express her opinion. As soon as this remark came out, dozens of pairs of eyes immediately fixed on Wang Panshou, waiting for Wang Panshou to give an answer. Definite answer to come.

"Well, as the saying goes, an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually be able to see her parents-in-law. Since the matter is under the supervision of the imperial envoy, it's not a matter for me to wait here to discuss nonsense. If you want to go, you can go together."

Facing the gaze of dozens of pairs of wolf-like eyes, but seeing Wang Panshou stroking his long beard on his chest slowly, he replied calmly.

"Okay, Brother Wang is really proud, then we will all follow what Brother Wang wants, let's go, go to the government office!"

Liu Banu made a run on her words like this, she thought that Wang Panshou would be vague, but she didn't expect Wang Panshou to answer so straightforwardly, the doubts in her heart arose for a while, but the doubts turned into doubts, but it was absolutely true. Not wanting to miss this great opportunity to push Wang Panshou to the forefront, and not giving time for others to speak, Huo Ran got up, and hurriedly put the big hat of the person in charge on Wang Panshou's head.

"Brother Liu is right, if you have a great talent like Brother Wang, you will definitely get what we want. Let's go, go to the government office!"

"Yes, I will follow Brother Wang's orders, let's go, let's go together!"

"Go, go, go, it's a puppy!"

……

All the salt merchants were very slippery, so how could they not understand the significance of Liu Banu's shouting, so Le took advantage of the situation and pushed Wang Panshou to be the leader and scapegoat, and they all rushed forward, clamoring wildly Following Wang Panshou, he walked out of the Yamen of the Salt Transport Envoy, and headed towards the Yamen with shouts and hugs. He attracted many boring spectators along the way, and the momentum became louder and louder. At the gate of the government office, there are already a sea of ​​people, and its scale is really astonishing.

"Report, little lord, something has happened, and those salt dogs are leading the people rushing towards the government office!"

The salt merchants made such a big noise, it was impossible for the royal guards who were in charge of guarding near the mansion not to be alarmed. After Li Minxing heard about it, he couldn't help feeling very nervous. After hastily deploying the defense, he immediately He rushed to the study and reported the news that the salt merchants had come in large numbers.

"Hey, good time, pass the order down, open the yamen, and prepare to be promoted!"

Since she already knew about the gathering of the salt merchants in the Yamen of the Salt Transport Envoy, how could Hongqing not make corresponding arrangements? Don't panic, on the contrary, he showed a gratified smile, got up suddenly, and gave the order in an unquestionable tone.

"This..., my lord, Yangouzi is very powerful, if..."

As the commander of the palace guards, Li Minxing had a heavy burden on his shoulders, when he heard that Hong Qing was planning to be promoted in such a dangerous situation, he immediately became anxious and hurried to persuade him.

"It's okay, there can't be chaos, I just go to arrange it, Ben Baylor gives you an order, anyone who dares to trespass in the yamen will be killed without mercy!"

Hong Qing knew that Li Minxing was worried, but he didn't take it to heart. He still didn't believe that a group of salt merchants dared to risk their heads to break into the government office. Of course, for the sake of caution Hong Qing didn't care about it, and before Li Minxing finished speaking, she waved her hand and gave a murderous order.

"twitter!"

With Hong Qing's order, Li Minxing felt much more relieved, so he didn't say any more, and hurriedly responded, and hurried out of the study, and rushed all the way to the gate of the yamen.
