Rules for Raising Husbands of Crossing Koi

Chapter 297
Zhang Deshan was naturally happy to lose such a big boy as Xiaobao before the salt inspection mission started.

Qin Tieniu served as a witness, Xiao Bao offered tea to Zhang Deshan, bowed three times, and immediately recognized his godfather.

"Godfather, I will definitely repay you in the future."

"Stinky boy, you just became my son, and you started flattering me? Do I still need you to repay me?" Zhang Deshan was bold at first, but seeing Xiao Bao so timid now, he felt dissatisfied.

"You are my son. In the future, father and son will depend on each other for life. Don't say anything about repaying or not repaying."

"Yes, everything is up to daddy." Little Baoren Xiaogui Dadi smiled at Zhang Deshan, so the inn was peaceful.

It's just that this peaceful atmosphere didn't last long. The news that they had approached Shopkeeper Wang and asked him to lead the team soon spread in Yongcheng, and local salt merchants came to him one after another.

All of them were going to eat Shopkeeper Wang.

"Do you know that cutting off a person's wealth is like cutting off a person's food, clothing, and parents. If you want to curry favor with the first officer, that's your business. Don't cut off our wealth."

"That's right, the surname Wang, let me tell you, if the tax money is really taken from us during taxation, you will have to pay for the money."

Shopkeeper Wang's house was surrounded and impenetrable, and this group of people seemed to be crazy, and they almost beat him with sticks.

But shopkeeper Wang also felt that he was wronged. He was just an investigator forced by the patrol officer to do what he did, but he agreed and did nothing.

It was only half a day before and after, but the salt merchant knew about it, so he couldn't help but not think too much about it.

"Wang, you are talking."

Someone anxiously pushed shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang was in a trance, but he didn't realize it and lay down on the ground. The people behind didn't look at it, and stepped on it.

This is good, shopkeeper Wang didn't do anything and was injured.

Half an hour later, when Qin Tieniu arrived at the clinic, he saw shopkeeper Wang crying.

"Hey, hey, it hurts me to death..."

"Doctor, you have to be careful, hey, my leg..."

Qin Lu couldn't help laughing when she saw that shopkeeper Wang was tall and thick but was so afraid of pain.

Shopkeeper Wang saw them when he turned his head, and immediately raised his hand to greet Zhang Deshan to come to him, "Master Zhang, you have to make the decision for me. I didn't do anything, and I was tortured like this. Where can I reason?" ?”

Zhang Deshan couldn't help laughing out loud seeing Shopkeeper Wang's appearance of wanting to cry but not tears.

His smile made shopkeeper Wang even more wronged, but due to Zhang Deshan's official authority, he dared not speak out.

It wasn't until Qin Tieniu cleared his throat that Zhang Deshan restrained himself a little.

After a while, Zhang Deshan adjusted his emotions, and looked at shopkeeper Wang with a serious face, "Treasurer Wang, do you know who those people who trouble you are?"

"Of course I know. They are all salt merchants in Yongcheng. They looked good in the past, but I didn't expect to be so ruthless."

Shopkeeper Wang was still babbling about the ignorance of this group of people, Zhang Deshan bent over, "Very well, then tell me who they are."

"Ah?" Shopkeeper Wang didn't seem to expect that Zhang Deshan would ask him this, and he was confused for a while.

At this time, Qin Lu winked at Qin Tieniu, and he immediately drew his sword and pointed at the shopkeeper Wang, "You know that the court dislikes businessmen who pick quarrels and troubles the most, since your businessmen in Yongcheng have such broad hobbies, then of course we adults You should be given this opportunity.”

After Qin Tieniu finished speaking, the strength in his hands increased a lot. The shopkeeper Wang felt as if his neck had been cut open, and immediately held his head and begged for mercy, "Master, please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Then what's the name after all?"

In the past few days in Yongcheng, Qin Tieniu has experienced what it means to be a profiteer.

This group of salt merchants relied on themselves as the leaders in the industry, regardless of the life and death of small traders, let alone the lives of the common people, and they didn't even pay enough taxes.

Roughly counting, they are simply full of things.

But the imperial court still bears their infamy.

They raised the price in the name of paying taxes, and even some salt merchants cried poorly in front of the people, "You don't know how cruel this imperial court is to us now, and the taxes are getting higher and higher. We There is no other way to raise the price, if you want to blame it, you can blame the court officials."

Qin Tieniu and Qin Lu heard this with their own ears.

At that time, people were eating lunch at the inn, and suddenly some big salt merchants began to complain to the common people who came to beg for salt. To be honest, Qin Lu was the first to be unable to bear it after hearing such words.

She thought that such brazen people could only exist in the era she lived in, but she didn't expect that the same was true in ancient times hundreds of years ago.

Fortunately, Qin Tieniu held down her hand at that time, so she was not impulsive enough to hit someone directly.

But this matter has taken root in the hearts of the two of them. They all know that the salt merchant's inaction is on the one hand, and the government's cover-up is on the other hand.

Shopkeeper Wang really didn't want to reveal the names of these people, not to cover up, but just worried about the burden.

How could Qin Tieniu not see it, that's why he directly threatened with violence.

The moment the two looked at each other, Zhang Deshan smiled with his hands behind his back and said, "It's okay if you don't tell me, but you have to go with me. You can't find those troublemakers, and you can't find out what's behind the salt merchants. That official is always on a mission."

Zhang Deshan looked at shopkeeper Wang leisurely.

Shopkeeper Wang thought a lot during this quarter of an hour, and finally he sighed, and asked Qin Lu for a pen and paper to write down the names of all the people, "These are the top horses of the biggest salt merchant, Old Liu..."

After the list was given to Qin Lu, shopkeeper Wang continued to explain.

A lot of people in Yongcheng seem to be separated from this old Liu, and most of them are members of his family or his cronies.

"As long as it is related to fine salt, it is mostly related to him."

This time, shopkeeper Wang knew everything. After listening to his words, Qin Tieniu and Qin Lu exchanged glances. They fully understood the current situation and what to do now.

Leaving the hospital, Zhang Deshan clenched his hands into fists, "Master, does this old Liu really regard himself as the emperor of the land?"

"If a few people do this, the people below him will suffer."

Qin Tieniu looked at Zhang Deshan with burning eyes.

For a moment Zhang Deshan suddenly realized, "Master, I will send someone to arrest him now."

"Go ahead, you are the first officer of the Salt Patrol. If you want to arrest people, it is reasonable. At the same time, let the government post a notice that if anyone reports the activities of the salt merchants, they will be rewarded..."

"My subordinate understands."

The people of Yongcheng have hated the salt merchants for a long time. Once this notice is released, it will definitely arouse the reaction of many people. At that time, they can punish these salt merchants with excuses.
