Chapter 59

When the people around heard it, they thought it was inconceivable that someone who had just promulgated the law one second would lead troops to arrest people the next.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Xu Ji Salt Shop was being targeted.

That's right, this official had already gotten through with Gongsun Li, so now it was clear that he was targeting Xu Ji Salt Shop.

Looking at the menacing officers and soldiers, Mizuki shouted coldly: "Why do you arrest people randomly? We didn't violate any rules."

The officers and soldiers pulled out their sabers with a swish: "Why? Don't you understand human language? You sell salt!"

Shen Yinxing smiled: "Where is the evidence? Do you have any evidence that we sold salt?"

Hearing this, the officers and soldiers felt that Shen Yinxing's mind was muddled, and pointed at Shen Yinxing's nose and shouted: "Evidence? Do you think we are all blind? This is all stolen and won, and you still haven't pleaded guilty?"

"You bitch, you know the law and broke the law, but you still don't plead guilty, the crime will be increased!" The officer leading the army scolded the bamboo tube salt on the table of the salt shop.

"Hehe, what a joke, who said that there is salt in the bamboo tube?" Luyue sneered, then picked up a tube of bamboo salt and poured it into the hands of a passerby who was watching.

Oops!The method of boiling soil salt was taken by the royal family!
The second housekeeper who was hiding in the dark saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ran back to Gongsun Mansion.

"I give 3000 taels!"

"What! You bastard!" Gongsun Li's lungs were about to explode at this moment, he picked up the teacup next to him and threw it on the head of the second housekeeper.

Sweet!Sweet!Sweet!Still sweet!
what happened?How is this going?Question marks are already piled up on officials' heads.

"What!" The officer's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard this, what's going on, what a coincidence, Xu Ji actually changed to selling sugar today?How can he take people now?

Obscure Moon and the ensemble that had been arranged earlier sang and sang together, taking advantage of the large crowd of onlookers, they brought out today's highlight.

The butler put a finger up next to his mouth: "Shh! Keep your voice down, you will alarm the head of the house, and the head of the house should be angry again."

The crowd in front of the shop was extremely enthusiastic, and it can be said that there was an uproar of voices.

"Yes, yes, I want too!"

"Oh my god, there is such a thing! How much does your recipe for boiling salt cost? I'll buy it, I'll buy it!"

"Hee hee, I forgot to tell everyone one thing", Ozuki said, shaking out a new banner from the bag behind her, and saw four large characters written on the banner: Xu Ji Sugar Shop.

At this time, a voice came from the crowd: "Your family will not sell salt from now on, so we can only eat sea salt?"

If this recipe of cooking soil salt is spread, their sea salt profits will plummet in the future, and saline-alkali soil is easy to obtain. If every household boils salt to eat, then what kind of business will their Gongsun family do!
"How long has it been?" Gongsun Li asked under the indignation in his heart.

He walked through the corridor with the card in his hand, walked through the pool, bypassed the rockery, and was about to go to the back mountain where the dead guards were hiding, but was stopped by a black shadow on the way.

Seeing that he was in vain, and the official's face was blue and white, he really wanted to have a fit, but he couldn't help it.

"You, you." Just as the second housekeeper was about to say something, a sharp knife was directly stabbed into his throat.

At this time, Gongsun Li was teasing a budgerigar in front of the hall, and seemed to be in a good mood.

When everyone heard it, they exploded in an instant.

"This is the method of boiling earth salt. If this guest has any questions during the operation, he can ask directly. We will be there on call."

Hazy Moon cleared her throat: "Everyone be quiet, today we will auction off the method of boiling salt through bidding, and the highest bidder wins."

The price of boiled salt recipes is getting higher and higher, and the price is getting higher and higher, and the level of competition has reached a fierce stage.

So Obscure Moon used her plan and bought a large amount of crystal sugar overnight, and ground the sugar into the size of white salt and put it in a bamboo tube.

As soon as this remark came out, there was an instant silence in front of the pavement, which was full of people's voices.

The trembling second housekeeper said again: "But Patriarch, that's not the point. The point is that today they openly sold the recipe for boiling salt, and then the recipe for boiling salt was bought by King Yuan at a high price of 29 pieces."

"You are. Who are you to install in the mansion's eyes and ears?" The second housekeeper shouted tremblingly.

The second housekeeper opened his eyes, and then fell down.

When the officers and soldiers next to him heard this, their jaws dropped in shock.

Obscure Moon waved the banner of Xuji Candy Store in his hand: "Hehe, today is the first day of our Xuji Candy Store's opening, all bamboo tube candies are sold at half price, everyone is welcome to snap up!"

At this moment, the person standing in front of him was none other than Patriarch Gongsun's chief steward.

"Me too! I'll buy it no matter how much it costs!"

Gongsun Mansion is not far from the market, so in less than a quarter of an hour, the second housekeeper ran into the mansion of Gongsun Mansion.

The second butler: "Master, it will take less than a quarter of an hour to go home."

They were not allowed to sell salt, but they actually sold a recipe for boiling salt?
How could it be like this!

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
The second housekeeper rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, pointed at him and screamed: "It's you! You leaked the news! That's why Xu Ji Salt Shop didn't sell salt today!"

Ozuki: "The salt in our family is extracted from the saline-alkali land. As long as the boiling method is proper, the boiled salt is white and tastes good, and it will not be poisoned after eating."

Alas?etc?Why does this fat man look familiar?

Obscure Moon: "Our shop, we won't sell salt from now on, our Xuji Salt Shop, changed to Xuji Sugar Shop."

The second butler stepped forward and asked, "Then, what should we do?"

Everyone scratched their ears, then looked at the fat man in a daze, 2000 million taels?Did I hear you right?
The second housekeeper who was hiding in the dark also rubbed his eyes, what?This fat man actually offered 2000 million taels to buy a prescription for boiling salt?

"I want to buy it too!"

The hot tea burned half of the second butler's face red, but even so, he didn't dare to say a word.

"How do you sell this salt-boiling recipe in your house?"

"Now, you immediately contact the shadows in the family, and tell them to kill the 29th son before he enters the palace, and the Xu family, all of them must be killed!"

At this time, Gongsun Li had a stinky face, took a cup of tea and sat down on the chair: "Say, what bad news did you bring back? Today's business didn't get done?"

So they knew early on that the Ministry of Criminal Justice would issue the Salt Law today and take this opportunity to arrest people.

At the same time, it can convince the second housekeeper that there is no connection between Fatty Yuan and the Xu family.

"Hey, hey, do you still sell the recipe for boiling salt? I want to buy it, I want to buy it!"

The passer-by subconsciously dipped a little bit with his hand, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and said with surprise on his face, "This is sweet! It's sugar, not salt!"

After finishing speaking, the fat man arrogantly slapped the 2000 million taels of silver bills on the table.

Oh, I just like the way you can't understand me and have nothing to do with me.

Gongsun Li snorted coldly: "An unfavored prince is like an ant on the side of the road. If he is trampled to death, no one will find him."

The second steward saw the person blocking him, and he was shocked: "You, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in Erlitun at this time?"

"I will buy your recipe for boiling salt for 2000 million taels, but you are not allowed to sell it to others. We will make a written statement."

Obscure Moon nodded: "Yes, Da Yuan won't let us sell salt, but if everyone wants to eat salt in bamboo tubes, we can sell you the recipe for boiling salt, and then you can cook and eat at home."

In an ancient castle in the back mountain, fifty shadow dead soldiers of the Gongsun family are hidden.

Seeing that the official could only hold back his words and succumbed secretly, Ozuki was in a good mood, and then made a face at him.

The officers and soldiers looked at each other, whether to leave or stay, who would have thought that this would be the case?
"Hmph!" The leading official snorted coldly, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't do anything now, so he waved his sleeves and led the troops away.

"What? Are you still leaving? Is Da Yuan not allowing us to sell sugar and salt recipes?" Obscure Moon shouted at the officers and soldiers who stood aside as flagpoles.

As soon as they heard that it was a bidding mode, the people in front of the shop were all gearing up and eager to try it. Of course, it is unknown how many of them are group performers.

This group of dead soldiers was transferred from Southeast Island not long ago. Because Gongsun Li felt that Hebei was not safe, he dispatched people here for self-defense, but he didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

"Bastard, what are you afraid of? Our Gongsun family started out selling private salt, which one didn't come from licking blood? An unfavored prince, if he kills him, he will kill him. If he doesn't attract attention, he should do it cleanly! "

Ozuki nodded, indicating that she already knew.

"Less than a quarter of an hour, less than a quarter of an hour, there is still time." Gongsun Li's eyes wiped a ray of murderous intent: "Yuan Wang's 29th son is not very favored, but the mother's family has some family background, I am afraid he is I want to gain the approval of His Majesty Yuan Wang by presenting the recipe for boiling salt."

The butler nodded, then stared at him with piercing eyes: "That's right, but it's a pity you knew it too late."

Why is it not salt in this bamboo tube, why is it all sugar?

The first butler's movements were so fast that the second butler didn't even have time to react, and he didn't even see the afterimage of the knife being swung.

Fatty Yuan finally got the method of boiling salt, with a big smile on his face, then he deliberately raised the prescription in his hand, walked through the crowd in a majestic way, and walked towards the outside of the market with eight square steps.

The second butler had no choice but to cup his hands: "No!"

The second steward was a servant raised by the Gongsun family since he was a child, so he was loyal to Gongsun Li.

"If the royal family knows about the recipe for boiling earth salt, how will our Gongsun family gain a foothold?" Gongsun Li jumped off his chair and walked back and forth in the room anxiously.

After the second steward left, Xu Jia, who had been hiding in the crowd and had been watching him, immediately gestured to Ozuki.

Then, the chief steward quickly dragged the second steward's body into the fake cave, and found the purple token from him.

"What's wrong with you, bad luck?" Gongsun Li raised his head and scolded angrily, "You only say this every day? You bad luck, you only bring back bad news."

When the people next to him heard it, their expressions were instantly excited, oh my god, the recipe for boiling salt!

"I give 300 taels!"

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Li took out a purple wooden sign from his arms, which was a souvenir from the Gongsun family to mobilize Shadow.

"I give 500 taels!"

The sharp knife was stained with blood, going in from the front and exiting from the back, directly cutting the second butler's trachea and stabbing his throat.

"Okay, this guest is refreshing!" Obscure Moon smiled and bowed to him, and handed him a note after writing the paper.

The butler tossed the purple token in his hand, and then it turned into a stream of light and swept into the back mountain.

"Can this salt be extracted directly in saline-alkali soil?"

The second housekeeper took the wooden sign with trembling hands: "Patriarch, is there no better way to do this? Murdering the prince is a serious crime of beheading!"

"What!" Gongsun Li yelled after hearing this: "Why did they stop selling salt suddenly, and why is it just today!"

In fact, the scene just now was just for the second butler to watch, and it was Ozuki's idea to let people drive up the price of the salt cube.

"Huh? What?" The official's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he rushed to the table and tasted each tube of bamboo salt one by one.

Because the higher the price, the greater the momentum, and the more people who know about it, the more beneficial it will be for the next thing.

The second housekeeper said with a bitter face: "No, no, today Xu Ji Salt Shop has changed to sell sugar, and the people from the Ministry of Punishment are all in vain, and there is no way to arrest people."

"Are you surprised? Surprised?" Ozuki looked at the stunned official of the Ministry of Punishment with a smile.

The second steward took the cards in his hand, and rushed to the back mountain, where a group of Gongsun family's dead soldiers were raised, and it was a sharp knife left by the old patriarch to Gongsun Li.

Soon, the second steward recognized this fat man as Prince Yuan's No. 20 ninth son.

At this moment, Fatty Yuan, who had been sitting by the side watching the play, said in a surprising way: "I will offer 2000 million taels of silver!"

The second housekeeper lowered his head, his voice trembling: "This villain doesn't know. Maybe it's just a coincidence"

That's right, Fatty Yuan's eyes and ears at Gongsun's house tipped them off last night.

"Patriarch! Patriarch! It's not good!" The second steward heard his voice before seeing him.

Now that the price of salt is so expensive, it is still a scarce item. If you can cook it at home, wouldn't it save a lot of money!
Salt is not allowed to be sold, so I can cook salt at home to eat, it is really beautiful to think about!
All the onlookers were excited and wanted to buy the method of boiling salt.

"I give 1000 taels!"

As for replacing the salt in the bamboo tube with sugar, firstly, Ozuki thought it was so cute and fun, and secondly, it would attract more people to watch.

Gongsun Li's eyes were bloodshot at this time, and he wished that all those who stood in his way of making money would die.

He was supposed to take a team of soldiers to arrest the people in Xu's camp, but at this time he appeared in Gongsun's mansion.

They have always only looked at the actions of tokens, not who they are.

"Follow me, Patriarch Gongsun has an order, we are going to kill someone." The butler took out the purple token and waved it in front of everyone's eyes.

Dozens of shadow warriors saw the token, knelt down one after another, and shouted in a uniform voice: "We obey the Lord's command, and we will die!"

The butler smiled: "Very good! Now, I order you"
