Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 626
After the servant-like person left, He Wuqi looked at the iron card in his hand and smiled.

At this time, He Jing stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master, it seems that the new leader has no intention of attacking us. Also, on the territory of Xuyi, if they leave us, no matter how powerful they are, they are just playing tricks." It doesn't turn."

He Wuqi snorted softly: "You don't know how powerful they are. Don't think that our troops on the mountain are their opponents. Their power is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

He was surprised: "Master, what do you mean?"

He Wuqi said: "With just a group of green forest people, there is no way to get so much salt."

He Jing said, "Is there someone behind them?"

He Wuqi waved his hand: "Okay, don't worry about these things, let's just do our own thing, this time their Hanzhai has a new leader, it seems that there will be an extra expense in the future .”

Speaking of this, he sighed: "He Jing, you can handle this matter, and the accountant will pay an extra amount of money every month in the future."

He actually nodded.

He Wuqi played with the iron card in his hand, with a smile on his face: "As long as they still do business with us, if they have an extra copy, let's have an extra one!"

Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, turned around and asked He Jing beside him, "Where is Madam?"

He Jing said, "In the back garden."

He Wuqi said: "I haven't seen each other for a few days, let's go and have a look."

With that said, he turned around and walked out of the main hall towards the back garden.

……

There are pavilions, terraces and buildings in the garden, and the lake is rippling, which is extremely luxurious.

In the water pavilion, a beautiful woman is sitting at the stone table, staring at the lake with blank eyes.

A few servant girls stood beside her.

When He Wuqi walked into the pavilion, the maids saluted and said, "Master."

He Wuqi nodded, and came to the woman: "Ma'am."

The woman stood up and said, "Master, why are you free to visit my concubine today?"

He Wuqi smiled and said, "I've been busy for days and haven't had time to spare. Don't blame Madam."

Madam smiled and said, "How can I blame you, it's very comfortable to be alone."

He Wuqi said: "A few friends came from Yangzhou, and we have to socialize in the evening."

Madam nodded and said: "Master just take care of himself, why mention it to my concubine."

He Wuqi smiled and said, "I'm afraid Madam is lonely."

Madam smiled lightly: "I am used to being quiet, I am afraid of getting upset when there are too many people!"

He Wuqi said: "Madam is really considerate, then I will go."

Madam nodded, He Wuqi turned and walked out of the pavilion.

Madam looked at his back and sneered.

At this time, a little maid hurried into the pavilion and was meeting He Wuqi face to face.

Madam's complexion changed, she stood up and looked forward nervously.

I saw the little maid retreating aside, smiling and saluting to He Wuqi: "Master."

He Wuqi nodded and said, "Chun'er, take good care of Madam."

The little maid Chun'er said, "Yes, master, don't worry."

He Wuqi left quickly.

Only then did the madam secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Chun'er walked into the pavilion, and just about to speak, Madam hissed softly.

Seeing He Wuqi walking away, he said softly, "Chun'er, how are you doing?"

Chun'er whispered: "I see, this is the note from him."

As he spoke, he handed over a note.

Madam took it with her hand, opened it, and saw the note read: Three o'clock tonight, corner gate.

……

The Hejiayan Hotel is located in Dongliu Alley, the busiest place in the depressed Xuyi County.

People who bought salt formed a long line in front of the gate of Yanhao. Some of the guys collected the money, and those who packed the salt packed the salt. They were very busy.

Di Renjie led Zhang Huan and Li Lang into the alley and walked towards Yanhao.

On the opposite side, a middle-aged man came with a bag of salt and sighed. Di Renjie hurried forward to meet him: "This brother."

The middle-aged man stopped when he heard the sound.

Di Renjie asked, "Just finished buying salt?"

The middle-aged man sighed and nodded: "Yes!"

Di Renjie asked, "How much is a bucket?"

The middle-aged man said: "Five hundred Wen."

Di Renjie was taken aback: "Five hundred Wen, isn't it four hundred Wen for a fight?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, and said with a bitter face: "They say that the salt is getting more and more difficult to get, and the five hundred cash is still for the sake of the local people, and there is no increase in the price.

If you asked in a hurry, those guys stared at him, and if they wanted to buy it, they would buy it, and if they didn't buy it, they would leave.Alas, these people are really dark-hearted! "

Di Renjie asked, "Where did they get their salt?"

The middle-aged man said: "Where else can I get it? I must have bought it from the salt lord. Originally, there were often small salt lords in the city who went to the streets to sell some private salt. It was only two hundred yuan a bucket, which was much cheaper than this." up.

But now the county is punishing them severely, and they will be killed if caught, which makes Yanxiao dare not enter the city.I estimate that those salt lords can't enter the city, so they can only sell the salt to the He Family Salt Company.

It sells for two hundred wen, and the He family sells for five hundred wen. Alas, their family is the only salt seller left in the city, so you have to buy it if you don’t buy it.

On a day like this, I really don't know when it will be a leader! "

After finishing speaking, he turned and left with his head down.

Di Renjie also sighed, and walked towards Yanhao with Zhang Huan and Li Lang.

In front of the gate of the Salt House, people who bought salt formed a long queue.

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and walked to the salt cabinet, and shouted at the salt seller: "This brother..."

The clerk gave him a blank look: "I want to buy salt and go in line, didn't you see one by one?"

Di Renjie smiled and took out a tael of silver from his pocket, held it in his hand, and said, "Brother, take a step to talk."

When the guy saw the silver, his eyes lit up immediately, and he said to the people next to him, "You guys look at it first, I have an acquaintance here."

Several other guys nodded.

The clerk took off his apron and walked out of the counter, pulled Di Renjie aside, looked at the money in Di Renjie's hand and said, "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly."

Di Renjie looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Brother, you may have heard that I'm from out of town.

I want to get some salt to do business locally, so I came here to have a look. Please tell me, where do you get your salt? "

As he spoke, he weighed the silver in his hand.

The man looked at the silver, swallowed, and said softly: "Where the salt comes from, I don't know.

Well, buddy, let me show you the way. If you want to do salt business on this land, you'd better meet our boss He Wuqi.

As you may know, there used to be four salt shops in the city, but now except for our He family and Yan, the other three houses have long been idle. "

Di Renjie said: "That is to say, only your boss can get the salt?"

The buddy said proudly: "That's needless to say! Dozens of stones every time, it's not a joke."

Di Renjie said softly, "Is it private salt?"

The guy smiled strangely and asked back, "What do you think?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "That's for sure. If the official salt can't come in, it's not because of private salt."

After a pause, Di Renjie asked again: "Where does your boss live?"

The man said, "Less than two miles east of this alley, there is a big house called He Yuan. That is the home of our boss."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice."

Saying that, he put the money into his bosom, turned and left.

The man froze.

Seeing that Di Renjie was going further and further away, he hastened to follow: "Hey, hey, let me say, you, you..."

As he spoke, he pointed to the silver in Di Renjie's arms.

Di Renjie pretended to be puzzled, and said with a smile, "What's the matter?"

The man said angrily, "I've been talking for a long time, but I can't say it for nothing!"

Di Renjie laughed and said, "Just now you told the other guys that you have an acquaintance. Since you are an acquaintance, it is too unreasonable to ask for money for a letter. Ah, leave."

The guy was choked on the spot immediately.

Di Renjie ignored him and walked forward.

The clerk chased after him out of embarrassment, but Zhang Huan and Li Lang next to him stood in front of him.

The man couldn't stop, and bumped his head against the two of them, he was taken aback and raised his head.

The two of them embraced each other and looked at themselves coldly.

The man knew that if he pursued him again, he would not be able to win any favors, so he quickly took two steps back and said, "Okay, you guys can do it. Let's wait and see."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the salt shop bitterly.
