Chapter 798 It Really Is

Mr. Su leaned forward to take a look, frowned and said: "This Lu Xiaoning, I have never heard of this official, but the salt merchant Dong Fang who came with him does know that he is a salt merchant in Yangzhou. Tai'an has been here several times."

"Then where is this person surnamed Dong?"

Master Su said: "He lives in the Yuelai Inn, and once passed a name card to the lower official. The lower official did not see him because he was busy with business, but he left his address at the Yuelai Inn."

Zhao Yincheng got up abruptly: "I want to meet this salt merchant surnamed Dong."

Master Su said: "The lower officials will send someone to call him immediately."

Dong Fang has been busy these few days meeting with the salt merchants he knows to inquire about the business situation.

He was drinking at Fumantang at the moment, when the long attendant who he had left at the inn came running out of breath.

"Master, Master, the magistrate has summoned you and told you to go quickly."

Dong Fang shook in astonishment, and all the wine in the glass spilled out.

The feeling of drunkenness disappeared in an instant, and he opened his tongue and said, "You... what did you say?"

"Master Zhifu summoned you, my lord."

The salt merchants at the same table all showed envious expressions. Although the salt affairs reform has been carried out this year, it is customary for everyone to visit the magistrate and the local salt officials here. The banner of fair bidding was operated in secret, so when everyone arrived in Tai'an, they all handed over their name cards. The salt official was not in Tai'an. I heard that he had gone to pick up the Minister of Salt Affairs. However, everyone felt that the salt official's move was to photograph the Minister of Salt Affairs. The flattery, er, it's also to avoid suspicion, look, this official is not in Tai'an, and there is no bribery.

Therefore, it is very important to be able to see the magistrate.

So many famous posts have been handed in, so far I haven't heard who the magistrate has met, but today the magistrate wants to see Dong Fang.

This Dong Fang is not considered a particularly powerful salt merchant. He is only of medium strength among the salt merchants. This time he came to Tai'an to participate in the fair bidding. Why does your lord only want to see Dong Fang?
Everyone couldn't figure it out. Could it be that Dong Fang spent a lot of money this year to give the magistrate a generous gift?

Dong Fangcai didn't care about what everyone guessed, so it was important to go to see the magistrate as soon as possible, but he didn't dare to keep the magistrate waiting for a long time.

Dong Fang was anxious, so he slipped under his feet, squatted down, and slid directly from the stairs on the second floor to the first floor. Fortunately, his buttocks were thick and did not hurt his muscles. In fact, Dong Fang didn't feel any pain at all when he was excited pain.

Dong Fang also went to the bank on the way, took 1 taels of silver notes, and then rushed to the county government office, got out of the carriage and found that he was limping, so he limped in.

After entering, I found out that the person who wanted to see him was not the magistrate Su, but the newly appointed Minister of Salt Affairs, Zhao.

Dong Fang was so excited that his little heart thumped wildly.

What does it mean that the Minister of Salt Affairs wants to see him?Will there be much benefit in this?Oh, then he only brought 1 taels of silver notes, isn't it too little?If I knew it earlier, I should have taken out 5 taels. This is the newly appointed Minister of Salt Affairs.

Dong Fang couldn't help thinking about it.

"The Caomin has met the lord, and the Caomin kowtows to the lord." Dong Fang knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times solidly to show his respect for the lord.

"Get up, what happened to your leg?" Zhao Yincheng asked.

Dong Fang was so touched that the Minister of Salt Affairs actually cared about his legs.

"My lord, when Caomin heard that your lord summoned him, he rolled down the stairs when he got excited, but it's all right, Caomin doesn't hurt."

The corner of Zhao Yincheng's mouth twitched, this Dong is interesting.

"It's a private matter for me to call you here, so don't be nervous."

ah?private matter?Can you get involved in personal matters with the Minister of Salt Affairs, so why not be nervous?However, he couldn't think of where he could get involved in personal matters with the Minister of Salt Affairs, and Dong Fang's forehead was sweating.

"I heard that Lu Xiaoning is acquainted with you, where is he?" Zhao Yincheng asked.

Dong Fang was stunned for a moment: "Your Excellency is asking Brother Lu?"

"Exactly, Lu Xiaoning, how did you meet? Where is he from?"

Dong Fang murmured in his heart, but couldn't figure out what the relationship between the Minister of Salt Affairs and Little Brother Lu was. If he said they knew each other very well, if the Minister of Salt Affairs wanted to trouble Brother Lu, wouldn't he have to do it too? suffer?But if they have friendship, it is a rare opportunity for him to get close to the Minister of Salt Affairs.

Su Zhifu urged: "Your Excellency is asking you something, tell the truth quickly."

Dong Fang was not sure, so he had to tell the truth: "My lord, this little brother Lu, we met in Cangshan County. He said he was in the business of medicinal materials. He heard that the salt reform would hold a fair bidding conference, so he asked for it." Come along to join in the fun, so we came together, oh, yes, he said he is from Huai'an."

Zhao Yincheng was secretly delighted, Dong Fang called Lu Xiaoning a little brother, and the medicinal material business was from Huai'an, who else could it be if it wasn't Lu Xiaoning?

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoning actually came to Tai'an, but shouldn't she be at Ji's house in Huai'an?

"What about others?" Zhao Yincheng asked with restrained excitement.

"He went to visit Mount Tai. He is not in the city for a few days, but he has also paid a deposit. He will definitely come back before the bidding meeting."

Zhao Yincheng: "Uh..."

This woman really can't stay idle, thanks to the fact that he is still worrying about her and the emperor's affairs, he thought she must be depressed in Huai'an, who knows that she is in the mood to go sightseeing.

If the emperor knows about this, the emperor will be depressed again, and the emperor wants to ask Lu Xiaoning to reflect, but Lu Xiaoning is focusing on the mountains and rivers, and probably has no intention of reconciling with the emperor.

I don't know when Lu Xiaoning left Huai'an, and whether he has received his letter.

"My lord, do you want me to send someone to Mount Tai to look for this Lu Xiaoning?" Master Su asked cautiously.

It can be seen that Mr. Zhao has a lot of heart for this Lu Xiaoning, and it doesn't seem like a relationship between enemies, but rather a deep relationship. Mr. Su naturally wants to actively find someone.

Zhao Yincheng thought for a while, waved his hands and said: "Forget it, since she has signed up, she will definitely come to participate, and it's okay to see you then."

"Dong Fang."

"The grass people are here."

"If Lu Xiaoning comes back early, you should come to the government office to report quickly, and don't disturb him." Zhao Yincheng ordered.

"Yes."

"Lu Xiaoning is my old friend. If this matter is done well, I will reward you." Zhao Yincheng saw that Dong Fang was trembling, so he gave him a reassurance, so that Dong Fang wouldn't know what was going wrong.

Dong Fang was overjoyed, alas, it turns out that little brother Lu has friends like the Minister of Salt Affairs, he really can't be judged by his appearance, he has made the right friend.

With no worries in his heart, Dong Fang became more angry, and responded loudly: "Caomin respectfully obey your lord's orders."
