Chen Pingyang and Du Chu rushed out of the city with their portraits. Half a month later, they saw Yu's family on the sea, so the three of them took wine to the wind on the Yujia boat.

Du Chu takes out the portrait and tells us what happened in Meiling county. Yu Jiang is surprised. The grain is imported. He always takes care when he escorts him. All of them are his cronies.

So he found the steward who had been escorted to Meiling County on that day, took out the portrait, and recognized the steward at a glance, and said, "this is the daughter of Lu family, the daughter of her junior steward. She married Lu Li, the head of coolie at the wharf, four years ago."

The steward remembered that day and remembered it, and then said, "the lady Lu said that her husband was not here. The coolie she brought was carried on the boat. The donkey cart on the bank was taken over by Xike

Yu Jiang and Du Chu, Chen Pingyang look at each other, it seems that the problem lies in this link.

So the steward was detained, and the junior steward was caught. Knowing that his daughter was at the Meiling County wharf, Yujiang's boat went to Meiling county.

At this time, there was no coolie at the wharf. According to the address provided by the steward, several people got off the ship and went directly to Luli's residence.

When the gate of the courtyard was kicked open, the lady of the Lu family heard the noise and quickly got up. She asked tentatively, "but Luli?"

When she got out of the inner room, she saw her father being held in front of her eyes. When the mother of the Lu family saw Yu Jiang, her face turned white and she knelt down.

After Yu Jiang's interrogation, she learned that she did not know the origin of those coolies. Lu Li told her that she had found a group of coolies without money, so that they could earn more.

After asking about the whereabouts of Luli, she said that she would go to the salt yard to load the goods. Chen Pingyang and Du Chu felt the situation was serious. According to the information provided by the Lu family's wife that night, the party immediately went to the saltern.

It was on this night that Su Wanping discovered the middle link of the real operation of the Kong family's private salt, from loading to shipping to selling, and the route of salt goods leaving Lingnan. It turned out that the Kong family had already been linked to each other's ships of salt. It was just a small matter that Su Wanping had withheld two ships of salt from each other. The real big head was still in the salt fields in Lingnan.

Lu Li is just one of the Kong family's running dogs. He often wanders around the docks. He manages all the coolies on the surface, but secretly helps the Kong family store private salt.

These coolies travel every night. They pack the salt leaked through the hidden cracks of salt fields in bags, and then transport them away in private. This part of the Kong family would never go by sea, which is quite blatant.

They took land for three months to the north.

It seems to be a small crack. Ordinary salt workers can't see it. But there are a lot of them stolen every day. However, the manager of the salt yard can't tell. At the same time, he has to help the Kong family transport the sea.

Over the years, they did not know how much salt they had stolen in this way.

Su Wanping was also surprised. He didn't expect that there was a mystery in the saltern.

Chen Pingyang and Du Chu captured Luli without saying anything about it. Then they brought in the person who delivered the goods to him. He was the little steward of the Kong family. He didn't know that Luli was under control. He also asked Luli to dig up the gap of salt leakage. Recently, he couldn't leave by sea. He was in control of the whole salt field and had to steal salt to replenish it.

The man escorted the smuggled salt, which was covered with cloth. They had the Kong family's token in their hands. No one dared to stop them.

This is true of several salt farms. They will gather together and then go on the road together. They will transport more private salt than sea salt. It seems that without shipping, more salt will be stolen.

Chen Pingyang and Du Chu got to know all the minor affairs of the Kong family that they had made contact with each other. They disguised themselves as mountain bandits and robbed each other's private salt trucks, and then all these minor affairs were detained.

On the other hand, shiye and his soldiers inspect every salt field from the inside to the outside. All the small passageways of the landlords are sealed, so they can't steal salt any more. Therefore, soldiers from local military camps are set up in the saltern. They don't have to report to the salt yard manager, but they can report to the king Xiaoyao directly.

Chen Pingyang handed over the account to Su Wanping. This time, he handed over the private salt of 140 donkey carts of the Kong family. Therefore, what the ordinary salt merchants gave to the court was only a small part, and most of them fell into the hands of the Kong family.

Su Wanping didn't expect such a large amount. If all the profits from the salt merchants were handed over to the State Treasury according to her promise to the crown prince at that time, and she made the rest of the output, would she make a big profit this time.

Su Wanping sighed, "the Liu family has done me a big favor. I didn't expect that the Kong family still had such a move. If she didn't say it, would it be that the illegal salt had fallen into the hands of the Kong family. At the same time, she is also at ease. She and the people at the bottom of Yujiang have not worked in detail, so the business can be relieved. "

Su Wanping sent people to reward the Tong Yuan mansion with great fanfare. For a moment, local officials were alarmed and all guessed how the lady of justice got into the princess's eyes. It seems that what was said at the banquet was not groundless, but real, and the princess was picked up by his wife.

Liu finally happy to go back to Yu City, Yang Mei exhaled a time, want to know the state lady also dare not despise her.Su Wanping did not know Liu's psychology, so she gave him glory in return.

In the small study, Su Wanping discussed with Chen Pingyang and Du Chu about the possible counterattack of the Kong family. This time, it could be said that the Kong family had been completely wiped out. Without the private salt, their income would have been reduced by half.

Du Chu and Chen Pingyang felt that they had to get through Meiling mountain as soon as possible. In this way, the Kong family was not good at fighting back.

No wonder the dogs jumped over the wall in a hurry. In the future, they would start with water and land transportation. However, if Meiling mountain was connected, they would not have to be afraid. According to their prediction, the journey to the Central Plains was half less, that is, one and a half months to get to the capital. It was a complete land route, and there was no need to change boats.

When Chen Pingyang and Du Chu got up to leave, Du Chu suddenly said, "Su Dongjia, when I met Yujiang earlier, I seemed to see the princess at the wharf, but I was busy at that time and didn't get off the boat. Maybe I was dazzled."

When Su Wanping heard this, he asked in doubt: "if the princess is in the capital, will she be in the Lingnan area?"

Du Chu thought it was impossible, so he waved his hand, "maybe I read it wrong."

But when Du Chuxian followed Su Wanping, he met the princess several times. He was always calm in a layman. How could he have been wrong? What's wrong?

When Du Chu and Chen Pingyang left, Su Wanping thought more and more wrong, so he decided to write a letter to the crown prince and ask them about their recent situation. He only wrote a letter to his family, but ignored them. I think they have a very peaceful life in the capital.
