Rules for Raising Husbands of Crossing Koi

After the servants reported, Zhang Deshan waited outside.

While he was waiting with his hands behind his back, a servant ran up to him and blessed him very politely, "Officer, my master is not feeling well, and it is not suitable to see guests today, please go back."

"Say it again?" Zhang Deshan thought he had heard wrong, and looked at the other party in disbelief.

The servant nodded without changing his expression, "Master, please forgive me, my master has always been unwell. The doctor said a lot of precautions. For the sake of the master's body and your health, I still have to pay attention. Please come back."

"Okay, very good." Zhang Deshan looked at the servant, then flicked his sleeves for the last time, and the atmosphere left.

Shadow followed closely, and Zhang Deshan came to the alley near the salt merchant, "Is this salt merchant sick?"

"No." Shadow answered truthfully.

Zhang Deshan nodded slightly, "It seems that he avoided seeing it, what else did you find?"

"In the past two days, the county lieutenant has met several times with the salt merchant, and has correspondence with the capital. It is not clear whether it is the prince's person or the Yiwang's person." That's all Yin Ying can find out.

After all, the purpose of letting them stay in Yongcheng was just to let them collect information, not to let them keep an eye on the salt merchants.

Now that they have just received this news, it is not easy for them to find out these things.

Zhang Deshan didn't say much, just explained the direction of their next investigation, and went back to the inn.

When he arrived at the inn, Qin Tieniu and Qin Lu were planning to go out for a walk. Seeing his angry face, the two couldn't help but look at each other. It was Qin Lu who asked first, "Brother Zhang, what happened?"

"Miss Qin, this salt merchant didn't see me. I even reported my family name, saying that I was a salt inspector from the capital..." Zhang Deshan had a fiery temper, but he had never seen him so angry before.

After hearing what he said, Qin Lu was not surprised at all, what the salt dealers did was so rampant, let alone those salt merchants.

"Since the biggest salt merchants don't want to see us, let's defeat them one by one. There are so many salt merchants in Yongcheng, can they still hide from us?" Qin Lu enlightened Zhang Deshan.

"Yes, let's go now, to the small salt merchant." Qin Tieniu followed suit.

Seeing that they looked confident, Zhang Deshan followed them.

About half an hour later, they had arrived at the salt merchant's residence.

There is no comparison, and I really don't see it. This salt merchant is obviously different from the number one salt merchant. Although the yard is not small, it is just an ordinary house.

When he heard that he was the first official inspecting salt, he was quite positive. He came to a few people and said enthusiastically: "Officer, why did you come to my small temple? I am just a small salt merchant. How can I please come to our place?" ah."

The salt merchant looked at Zhang Deshan with mischievous eyebrows, which really explained what a profiteer was.

Zhang Deshan doesn't like this kind of people the most, they are used to watching their words without saying anything, and they always have an expression that sees through everything. Their biggest characteristic is their tendency to follow others.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and take us in."

"Please, sir."

Even though Zhang Deshan was very impatient, the salt merchant still smiled and explained to him as he walked, "My lord, I am not actually a salt merchant in Yongcheng, at most I am a slightly older salt merchant. It's just one more house than the salt sellers on the street..."

"Really? I think you've made a lot of money!!!" Zhang Deshan looked at the salt merchant with a strange look.

As soon as these words came out, the salt merchant's face changed slightly, and he suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know what to say.

So, Qin Lu smoothed things over with a smile, "Shopkeeper Wang, our master just arrived in Yongcheng and is a bit uncomfortable, please don't take offense."

"No, how can I be surprised? I just didn't expect the official to be so honest. If so, I, a small salt merchant, will not hide it from you. My lord, in fact, there are only a few people in Yongcheng who make money. , all we do is follow their wishes, even if you think there is something wrong, you can't find us here, right?"

The salt merchant had a helpless expression, and looked at Zhang Deshan with extreme candor in his eyes.

But Zhang Deshan just saw the meaning behind this look. He had seen this kind of look a lot when the palace changed.

Everyone said that the prince should not die in the palace change, but no one defended the prince, only Uncle Guo insisted on it all the time.

However, the empress is gone, and the imperial concubine in the harem is the only favorite. These years, the uncle of the country has not lived well at all, and it is because the emperor is nostalgic, so he has not been tossed to death by the prince and the king of Yi, otherwise he would have been with him a long time ago. The prince's yin and yang are separated.

Thinking of this, Zhang Deshan couldn't help looking at Qin Tieniu.

With just one glance, Qin Tieniu instantly saw the meaning in his eyes, frowned slightly, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Deshan naturally wouldn't say anything in front of outsiders, but shook his head in embarrassment, "It's okay."

"Then let's talk about your salt merchants in Yongcheng." Zhang Deshan regained his composure, staring at the salt merchants.

The salt merchant was stared at by Zhang Deshan like this, his back felt cold, and he scratched his head in embarrassment. After a while, he seemed to know that he couldn't continue watching like this, so he could only laugh to ease the embarrassment.

"Okay, don't make up such nonsense in front of me, just say it quickly."

Zhang Deshan looked at the salt merchant impatiently.

The salt merchant glanced at Zhang Deshan, and finally greeted them with a sigh, "Sirs, please sit down."

Following the lead of the salt merchant, they arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.

It has to be said that this salt merchant still enjoys life very much. As soon as Qin Lu entered the yard, he saw the garden full of rare flowers and many precious herbs...

"Treasurer Wang, do you know medicine?"

Qin Lu sat next to Qin Tieniu. Hearing her question, shopkeeper Wang glanced at her first, and then at Zhang Deshan.

Zhang Deshan understood, cleared his throat, "Well, these two are my followers."

Shopkeeper Wang nodded, smiled, and said to Qin Lu, "This girl, I understand a little."

"Then you are not the small salt merchant you mentioned. If you are an ordinary person, can you grow such herbs?" Qin Lu looked at Shopkeeper Wang with a half-smile.

The moment the eyes met, shopkeeper Wang felt even more guilty, and forced a smile on his face, "Girl, you really have a good eye. It is true that this herbal medicine is very difficult. I am also the biggest friend in Yongcheng." I know the salt merchant, he gave it to me..."

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly explained, and immediately involved the salt merchant. This is what Qin Lu wanted. She smiled slightly, and took a step forward to come to Shopkeeper Wang, "Really? Then you two have a good relationship, don't talk about this herbal medicine." It’s worth a thousand bucks.”

"what?"

Zhang Deshan had been listening from the sidelines, but he didn't expect this herbal medicine to be so valuable.

In his astonished eyes, Qin Lu's smile grew stronger, and she nodded at him pretending to be surprised, "Yeah, I didn't expect our shopkeeper Wang to be so popular."

"Yes, what the girl said is that I am popular."

"Since this is the case, please trouble shopkeeper Wang to accompany us on the salt patrol mission. After all, you are very popular, and you should know all these salt merchants."
