Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Su Mu looked back at Ma Quan sarcastically: "Don't you want to check the salt, don't you want to ask me where the salt on the boat comes from? Now that the salt is gone, what can you say?"

While talking, he threw two bags of salt into the water.It was the beginning of summer, and there was plenty of water in the river. As soon as the salt bag entered the water, it sank directly to the bottom of the river and disappeared without melting.

Ma Quan didn't expect Su Mu to sink almost [-] catties of salt directly into the water. This is a lot of money, and he was shocked and angry: "My surname is Mei, you are harming others and not benefiting yourself!"

Su Mu didn't talk nonsense, and shouted at his subordinates: "What are you waiting for, do it!"

The soldiers of the patrol inspection department were loyal to Su Mu. When they heard the order, although they were reluctant, they quickly jumped onto the boat and threw several boats of smuggled salt into the water in just a moment.

Looking at the empty boat, except for Su Mu, the envoy of the salt government, the soldiers of the inspection department, and the private salt dealers were all trembling with distress.

After leisurely washing his hands by the river, Su Mu took a look at Ma Quan and ordered: "Let them go!"

Ma Quan was planted in Su Mu's hands today, and was severely burned again. He felt unbearable pain all over his body, and dared not stay any longer. He looked at Su Mu with hatred: "Mei Fugui, you lost today, it's Ma's bad luck." .Shanshui will meet again in the future, let's wait and see!"

A soldier of the inspection department saw that Ma Quan, who used to be respected like a heavenly man, lost so embarrassingly, the trace of awe in his heart was gone, and he stepped forward and kicked him: "Get out!"

Seeing Ma Quan and the others' distressed backs, including the private salt dealer, they all burst out laughing.

After laughing, everyone looked at Su Mu differently, and they all said in their hearts: Mr. Mei usually seems to be a gentle person, but when encountering things, he would do it as soon as he said it, and he would not be procrastinating. He is a character.

A book office stepped forward: "Master Mei, what should we do with these private salt dealers?"

Hearing his question, the twelve private salt dealers fell silent at the same time, staring at Su Mu with eager eyes.

"They... it's a bit difficult..." Su Mu rubbed his chin intentionally and pondered.

One of Zongzhen's subordinates boldly shouted: "Master Mei, the salt is gone now, and there is no real evidence. Please, sir, for Brother Zong's sake, let me wait. I will be able to be in the salt government today. The group of salt dogs escaped with their lives, thanks to your kindness. In the future, I will enshrine the longevity tablet of the master at home, and burn incense and pray for you every day!"

The so-called salt dogs actually refer to the salt soldiers of the Changlu Salt Commissioner.However, the soldiers of the inspection department were also responsible for checking and suppressing smuggled salt on weekdays. When they heard this, they immediately became unhappy.

A soldier spit over: "Brother Zong, who deserves to call himself big brother in front of the master? So what if there is no physical evidence, it really annoys us, buy a few hundred catties of official salt and stuff it in your arms, maybe the death penalty will be avoided In the past, to sentence you to exile for three thousand miles was just a wink from our master."

The man had spittle on his face and looked at the soldier angrily.

The soldier rolled his eyes: "What are you looking at, and then I gouged out your eyes."

A few people next to him hastily persuaded: "Youngest, don't be rude in front of adults. Since Master Mei can do this, he must let me wait. We just need to remember the kindness of adults."

But Su Mu smiled: "Who said they will let you go back?"

All the saltmongers were taken aback.

The soldiers of the inspection department also thought that Su Mu and the big brother Zong who the private salt dealers were talking about were close relatives, and wanted to let them go.I didn't want to but heard this sentence, and I was puzzled in my heart.

Su Mu smiled and said to his opponent: "Didn't I promise each of you 20 taels of fighting money just now? My lord is very upright and has a clean sleeve. He is very poor. The five or six hundred taels of silver must fall on them."

As he spoke, he pointed to the prisoner: "One head is 50 taels, take the money and leave."

All the soldiers laughed loudly at the same time, and cupped their hands: "Yes, I have to redeem him with money, thank you, Master Mei!"

All the private salt dealers didn't expect that Su Mu did a good thing but didn't do it completely, as if he didn't want the salt dealer to owe him any debts, so they all became dejected.

An experienced secretary in the inspection department shook his head helplessly, thinking: This Mr. Mei is really a dignified official of the court. Doing so is tantamount to kidnapping, no different from bandits. .

Su Mu: "Put all the criminals back in the house, and don't let them go if they don't get money. Everyone has to go out and do a bit of hard work this time. Let's wait for the money to be collected first."

He randomly ordered a few subordinates: "You guys go back to Cangzhou with the master to have a banquet later, and then ask Zongzhen for money. Everyone else stay in the inspection department and wait for the money to be distributed!"

Everyone agreed with a loud bang.

Just as he was about to leave, Su Mu groaned in his stomach.

Then I remembered that I have been busy today, but I am hungry.Anyway, there are still ten miles to go, so it's better to step up first.

He sat back in front of the pot, happily eating mutton and drinking rice wine.

After eating more than a dozen pieces of mutton in one breath, he felt that his body had gained strength, so he took a few soldiers and walked towards Cangzhou City in a leisurely manner.

……

"Wow!" The two dogs, one yellow and one black, frantically rushed towards the reeds on the roadside, their eyes sparkling red with excitement.

"Oh my god!" A figure jumped out of the grass with his pants in his arms, and ran for his life frantically.

"Damn it, these two bastards have followed Grandpa all the way... Mommy next door, don't you just want to wait to eat shit, and then disturb Grandpa's Qingxing, I will kill you to eat meat. One black, two yellow, three flowers, four hundred... Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, I'd better squat first!"

Su Mu clutched his stomach, his head was covered with sweat, his face was as white as paper.

It turned out that I was really hungry before, and I ate a big bowl of mutton regardless of the uncooked mutton, but now I can't stand it anymore.

After walking this way, I have already gone to the hut four times.

"Protect Master!"

A few soldiers brandished their weapons and rushed towards the two dogs, but the two beasts were clever, and went into the grass like lightning, but they couldn't find them.

After dismissing the two dogs, Su Mu walked a few more steps.Looking back, the two beasts ran out again, following at a distance, just like Zhongshan wolves.

Su Mu felt bitter in his heart, turned around and shouted, "Are you guys finished yet?"

A soldier next to him flattered him: "The master is rich and noble, but the shit he poops is different from that of ordinary people. Naturally, those two beasts are not willing to let them go."

Su Mu Daqi: "How to say?"

"Master, this countryman raises dogs, and they don't know how to feed them properly at all, so they let them eat for themselves. The so-called dogs can't change their eating shit. Once someone enters the latrine, there will definitely be dogs following. If you eat bran-swallowed vegetables, the feces are not good. Unlike the master, who eats delicacies all day long, not to mention the stinky things, in the eyes of the beasts, they are undoubtedly golden bumps, so naturally they refuse to let them go."

Su Mu was dumbfounded.

It took a long time to go all the way, and even if there was a delay, it took a long time to walk for a short distance of ten miles, and it took a long time to see the city wall of Cangzhou.
