He Zheng, the reborn woman

Chapter 77 The Uninvited Guest

"There must be a problem. There are about [-] people who fled to this remote village instead of going to the town. If these people have a little bit of skill, they will be enough to do things like robbing houses." Shen Lan became vigilant.

Qin Hongyi nodded: "But I suspect they have something to do with salt."

"Why?" Shen Lan only felt that these people might be in danger, but he didn't expect it to be related to salt.

"It's the most difficult salt for a person who just went out to do procurement, and there are a lot of salt, which is obviously impossible, and when he comes back, these people will follow." Qin Hongyi said very seriously, "Their burden There's a good chance it's salt."

"That's not much." Shen Lan felt unrealistic.

"Not much, but what if it's only a part?" Qin Hongyi stared at Shen Lan.

Shen Lan thought for a while: "Then what should we do?"

"Now we just need to see what their purpose is in coming here." Qin Hongyi let out a heavy breath.

Li Shaotang originally wanted to share all the salt from the robbery, but the government pursued him too closely, and the price of salt is too expensive now, so those who knew the news wanted to have a bad time, so they had to find a way to hide it.It happened that Mr. Li, who came out to purchase from Jingtan Village, was robbed, so they rescued him, and they pretended to be a troubled salt merchant, so they tried to come to Jingtan Village with him.

To say that this Jingtan Village is really a good place, with mountains behind and water in front, you have to cross a river to enter Zhuangzi, and the heavy rain just crossed the bridge and was washed away, almost isolated from the world, it is definitely a good place to hide.Besides, they have salt on them, and of course the people here welcome them.

It's just that I heard that Zhuangzi's master's family is also here, and I feel a little grudge in my heart. Those rich children are either dandies or arrogant. If they really can't tolerate them, they should find a way to get rid of them.

But the next day he was dumbfounded, because all the children on Zhuangzi went there to learn how to read, and Li Shaotang felt unbelievable when he heard Zhuangtou say how good Shaodong's house was, so he followed to see what happened.

Shen Lan glanced at Li Shaotang who was standing outside Qin Hongyi's classroom. His first feeling was that this person was the leader of those people who came yesterday. Seeing his vigilant and tentative attitude, he felt a little puzzled, but just pretended that he was not there and went straight to him. own class.

Qin Hongyi naturally also felt his existence, but it was defined as a person with average skills. With this feeling, he would have nothing to fear. If something really happened, he would get rid of it directly.

Li Shaotang was born in a declining scholarly family, he was poor and bullied, so he practiced martial arts secretly since he was a child, thinking that a few poems and books could be accommodated in troubled times, naturally there was a sense of injustice and tyranny in his heart.In the year of natural disasters, his family was completely exaggerated, so he gathered a group of people who were not at peace with the world to do this thing of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Seeing their strange teaching method, I feel a little puzzled, but I have to say that this method is very simple, and the fee is much less, otherwise such a village head can read and write.And what puzzled him was that women could also read and write, which was only something that scholars and official families could do.

When it was time for get out of class to end, Li Shaotang went to visit Qin Hongyi. It was essential for him to borrow and live here to visit his master.Qin Hongyi was just indifferent, and asked Amu to lead him to the main hall.When Shen Lan got the news, she went to the main hall first, but she didn't sit outside, but sat behind the screen. This was a meeting between their men, and she had nothing to do with her. She was just curious about this man.

"I'm Li Shaotang, I've seen the young master." Li Shaotang saluted respectfully.

Qin Hongyi knew from his standard etiquette that he was definitely not a reckless man: "Please sit down, there is no need to be formal."

Li Shaotang took a seat on the right, because he heard that Mrs. Shao never minds visitors, and it is very likely that visitors will also come.

"Xiaotong, serve good tea." Qin Hongyi ordered Xiaotong to go down.

Li Shaotang saluted again: "How can you be born late, let the young master value it so much." He knew very well that the young master directly offered good tea, which was to value him, could it be that he did something wrong.

"It's rare for someone to come here." Qin Hongyi said simply, "I heard from Amu that you are a salt merchant?"

"It's just a little, it's not worth mentioning."

"How can you say that? Those who are able to trade salt in Nanping are noble people. I see that Your Excellency is full of heaven. There is a refined style in the eyebrows, but there is an uninhibited attitude above the corners of the eyes. You must be a noble person." Qin Hongyi said weakly.

"The young master is ridiculously praised. My father is a businessman, but he always thinks that everything is inferior and only reading is high, so it's just a few articles that Xiaosheng read." Li Shaotang felt that this person was very difficult to deal with.

Qin Hongyi smiled slightly: "People in the world also say that you are a scholar who is useless."

Li Shaotang also smiled dryly: "It's rare to have such a prudent young master, I really envy you."

At this time Xiaotong brought tea up, they brought very little tea, and the young master didn't have any good tea, these were already very precious.

Li Shaotang tasted it lightly and the corner of his mouth moved slightly. This kind of tea can only be regarded as middle-grade tea, how can it be regarded as good tea.

"I made Mr. Li laugh. The tea here is indeed not top grade, but it is already the best tea I can offer." Qin Hongyi didn't drink the tea, but was watching his expression, although he only slightly twitched at the corner of his mouth. Moved a bit.

Li Shaotang put down his teacup and looked at Qin Hongyi with some shame: "I should be ashamed." He was slightly surprised for Qin Hongyi in his heart, he thought he had hidden it well, but he was still discovered.

The two of them just chatted politely for a while, Su Xian came up to offer the meal and Li Shaotang got up to leave, Qin Hongyi stayed for a while and he insisted on leaving.

"What do you think of him?" Qin Hongyi faced the outside, but he was talking to Shen Lan.

"How do you know I'm here?" Shen Lan came out a little dejected.

Qin Hongyi smiled, it's no wonder she didn't come: "Because you are very fragrant." Qin Hongyi approached Shen Lan and took a deep breath very satisfied.

"He's cheating." Shen Lan didn't bother to argue with him about those words, maybe she had irritated him again.

"En." Qin Hongyi also changed his serious expression, "What do you think?"

"He's well educated, but he's trying to hide it. It's very likely that he's from a declining scholarly family. He speaks slickly and doesn't pay attention to the point, which proves that he is a bit rebellious." Shen Lan slowly analyzed.

Qin Hongyi laughed: "My wife is amazing." But his expression immediately turned serious, "Yes, his gestures of saluting are very standard, it's not difficult to be educated in a scholarly family since childhood, and he also knows about tea tasting. There was a bookish air to it, and although he wore a blouse to cover it up, his nails were very neatly manicured, which is not something rough people would do."
