Rules for Raising Husbands of Crossing Koi

Chapter 299
After a strong ideological struggle, the shopkeeper looked at Qin Lu cautiously and said, "The salt merchants are all connected to the government. You'd better not interfere..."

"Why?"

"Isn't that obvious? The salt merchants are cooperating with the people from the government, and there are people from them inside and out. Do you think they don't know about your patrolling salt?"

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them helplessly, and continued to speak softly: "I heard that these salt merchants started preparations half a month ago, and you are not afraid of visiting people's homes in private."

As soon as these words came out, Qin Lu gasped, no wonder they couldn't find anything even though they hid their identities, people already knew they were coming when it came to relationship matters!

Thinking of this, Qin Lu smiled, and when he looked sideways at Qin Tieniu, his expression was not much better.

"Now you know, right? So for the sake of our acquaintance, I advise you to give up. If you want taxes, then..."

At this point, the shopkeeper sighed again.

Seeing this, Qin Lu turned her head and asked, "Shopkeeper, what do you mean?"

"Most of the tax money was picked up by the crown prince. The crown prince visited Yongcheng a few years ago..."

I have to say that although the shopkeeper is in Ishii, he knows a lot. Now it seems that he is really a talent from the people.

After leaving the wonton stew shop, Qin Lu and Qin Tieniu had nothing to say.

When they arrived at the inn, it happened that Zhang Deshan and Xiaobao had just returned.

"Master, Miss Qin, are you back?" Zhang Deshan came up to the two of them with a small bag, and said with a showy face, "Hurry up and tell me everything you know."

"Yes, godfather." Xiaobao smiled innocently, then looked at Qin Tieniu and Qin Lu, "Master, Miss Qin, today I was ordered by godfather to go to the residence of the largest salt merchant in Yongcheng..."

At this point, Lin Shu interrupted Xiaobao, even worried, "Xiaobao, how did you get in?"

Qin Lu got up and looked at Xiao Bao nervously.

Xiaobao still saw Qin Lu like this once, because he was not familiar with it, so he suddenly became a little scared, and looked at Zhang Deshan in a panic.

Seeing Xiao Bao's eyes, Zhang Deshan suddenly realized: "Miss Qin, don't worry, Xiao Bao went in with the food delivery man, and no one found out."

"That's okay, Xiaobao must disguise himself when he goes out in the future, you know? Don't let them see through your identity."

"Don't worry, girl, I've been living on the streets all these years and I'm still very good at disguising..." Speaking of this little bag, he started to boast without hesitation.

So, Qin Lu didn't say any more, just shook her head, "You, the salt merchants in Yongcheng are not ordinary people, Tieniu and I just learned that the salt merchants already knew we were coming to Yongcheng..."

"I knew it a long time ago? The emperor personally arranged this matter, and not many people know about it."

"So, do you think we should be more cautious?" Qin Lu looked at Zhang Deshan with a smile.

Zhang Deshan took a deep breath, "This matter probably has something to do with the prince, right? The thing about the escort flag camp is at most preventing the prince from coming to Yongcheng, and nothing else is blocking it?"

After saying this, Zhang Deshan rolled his eyes, "No wonder the prince didn't argue at the beginning, the relationship was already planned?!"

Zhang Deshan said to himself, then looked at Qin Tieniu, "Master, what should I do?"

"It's useless to be anxious. If it comes, it will be safe. This king still doesn't believe that they can do it without leaking."

"Yes, what Tieniu said is correct. Since they dared to collude, they must be used to doing it recklessly. I'm not afraid that they won't be able to keep a handle."

Qin Lu smiled and looked at Zhang Deshan with her hands behind her back. The complacent look made everyone present no longer worry.

Seeing this, Qin Tieniu got up and smiled, "Daughter-in-law is right, everything is up to her, since they think we are in tomorrow, then we will be in tomorrow..."

"Miss Qin, what do you mean?"

"Yes, Brother Zhang, you are the tour guide now, and Tieniu and I are just your attendants, and our whereabouts will naturally not be noticed by too many people..."

"Okay, this subordinate understands."

With a plan in place, they began to split up. Xiao Bao pretended to be Zhang Deshan's son, and they began to patrol the salt in the open. Qin Tieniu and Qin Lu began to investigate the salt merchants in private after disguising.

Zhang Deshan blatantly investigated and visited, and even used the court to exert pressure. The salt merchants dared not refuse, and all of them let him go. In this way, some things could not be hidden.

The largest salt merchant in Yongcheng was the first to be unhappy, "Damn it, this patrolling salt official did it on purpose, to make trouble for me."

"Sir, what do you think we should do? Now they go to our shop every day, even if they don't do anything, it will affect our business."

The butler looked at his master anxiously.

"Okay, then I'd like to see if he is really that powerful as the first officer." The salt merchant continued to put the cup in his hand on the table fiercely, "Go, send someone to follow that Zhang. He returned without success."

"Master, are you planning to..." The housekeeper looked at Continuing with suspicion.

Facing the tentative eyes of the housekeeper, a smile appeared in his eyes, "Yes, I just want to make him regret coming here. Since he came first, let him know how good we are, and let the one who just returned to the capital The prince knows that not everything can be done by him."

"Yes, the old slave understands, let's arrange it now."

After the butler left, he sent letters to the capital one after another.

After the carrier pigeon left, he went to the largest teahouse in Yongcheng with satisfaction.

Drinking tea for entertainment was his favorite thing to do in the past. Now that the housekeeper is ready to fix Zhang Deshan's affairs, he has nothing to worry about.

It's just that he didn't know that the butler was taken away by a group of people as soon as he left the house.

This group of people came so fiercely that the housekeeper didn't even have time to react. Before he could even say a word, he was caught in a sack.

After an unknown amount of time, the butler woke up and found himself in a dilapidated house. It was already late at night, surrounded by two big and three chubby men by the fire.

He looked around, feeling like he was in trouble, "My lord, is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding? Where did the misunderstanding come from? Aren't you a lackey of Lianxuan?"

When he heard that he was coming for his master, the housekeeper smiled nervously and bitterly, "Masters, that's not the case. Our master is just a businessman and has never offended anyone. Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"

"Misunderstanding?" The man laughed out loud when he heard the butler say it was a misunderstanding, "That's not a misunderstanding."

"My lords, don't get excited, just talk if you have something to say." The housekeeper shrank back nervously, fearing that they would chop him up immediately.
