Chapter 13 Let Duke Lu Ding Do Things For Me
The next day, two people came to visit Han Ling.

Both of them are in their thirties, and they are both cultivation bases of the four realms.

One is Wang Bin, who is good at using a single sword, and the other is Liu Hong, who is good at playing with a big spear.

When the two saw Han Ling, they saluted together:
"Wang Bin (Liu Hong), pay homage to Boss Wang. From today on, we will be at Boss Wang's disposal."

"They are all brothers of our own family, so there is no need for the two eldest brothers to be polite."

Han Ling understood that these two people were here to assist him in name, but they might not have the purpose of monitoring.

Of course, superficial skills must be done well, although the two of them are very polite, but if you think about it with your toes, you can tell that they are not respecting themselves, but Feng Tiannan.

"Okay, two, take me to find out the situation first."

"Yes, Boss Wang!"

Under the leadership of the two, Han Ling came to the distribution center beside the Grand Canal.

There are huge crowds of people here, and ships are constantly coming and going to unload and load goods.

Some people sell the goods on the spot.

Wang Bin quietly pointed to a group of men with white cloth heads and short clothes, and said:

"Those people are salt lords who sell private salt!
With them taking the lead, fewer and fewer salt merchants are willing to pay taxes.

But the officers and soldiers have nothing to do with them. "

Liu Hong also said:
"Yes, these are desperadoes. But they are very fair and honest when they usually sell private salt, and they don't bully others. Therefore, everyone does not reject them."

Han Ling asked again: "Where do these people come from? Are there many people?"

"I don't know, they all suddenly appeared recently. There are a lot of people, and they are extremely united and powerful."

Han Ling nodded, stopped talking, and just walked around with the two of them.

Sometimes, I would pull someone in the market to have a word or two.

Wang Bin and Liu Hong looked at each other, wondering what Han Ling wanted to do?
After a while, Han Ling asked the two of them to break up, and came to the Hero Building tomorrow to find him, and then left without looking back.

Back at the restaurant, Han Ling told Wei Xiaobao to call out.

"Brother, what do you want from me?" Wei Xiaobao smiled enthusiastically when he met Wei Xiaobao. During this time, he often ate and drank hot food with Han Ling, and Han Ling treated him with great respect. He has long regarded Han Ling as the closest person.

"It's nothing, I suddenly became interested and wanted to drink with you!" Han Ling smiled.

"Haha, big brother, since big brother invites you, younger brother will naturally accompany you." Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but wondered when he saw Han Ling leading him out, "Big brother, where are we going?"

"I went for a walk along the canal today. I saw a beautiful scenery and many pubs. I want to try it."

"It's okay, no matter how delicious the dishes are, you will get tired of eating them every day. It's good to change the recipe. I know a place, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"Okay, lead the way."

The two came to a tavern by the canal. There were so many customers that it was almost full.

Wei Xiaobao straightened his chest, cleared his throat, and called out to the waiter: "Li Er, do you have a seat by the river, arrange it for us."

The boy was delighted when he saw Wei Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, what kind of bully Zaila is caught again today!"

"Go, go, what nonsense are you talking about! This is my sworn brother! Please treat me nicely, otherwise I'll never end with your shopkeeper Li." Wei Xiaobao said angrily with his eyes wide open.

The servant was about to make some jokes when he suddenly saw Han Ling smiling beside Wei Xiaobao, and immediately swallowed back what he said.

He quickly showed a respectful smile and said to Han Ling:

"Master, there is no outdoor place by the river. See if the place next to the window is okay, you can see the river view from your eyes."

"Okay!" Han Ling nodded.

The boy sighed again and again.

This handsome young man is as dazzling as the sun!People dare not look directly.

How could such a person get mixed up with a sewer like Wei Xiaobao?Really puzzling?

After being seated, the food and wine were quickly served.

Wei Xiaobao was the first to raise his wine glass: "Brother, let me toast you first. Big brother is valued by Mr. Feng, and he will be in a high position as soon as he gets started. Don't forget little brother when he will be successful in the future!"

Han Ling smiled and said: "You boy, you are well informed. I just joined Wuhumen last night, and I didn't expect you to know today. But, don't talk nonsense first. The owner of the door arranged a task for me, and I am still here. I have a headache."

"Brother is very capable, these small things are naturally easy to handle, turn danger into luck, go straight to Huang Rong, and success will come soon..." Wei Xiaobao spoke excitedly, and Webster's idioms began to burst into flames again.

Han Ling's face was black, and he couldn't help but pat Wei Xiaobao on the head.

"If you don't know idioms, don't talk nonsense. I'll find you a teacher tomorrow, so I won't lose my face!"

Wei Xiaobao smiled sheepishly: "Brother, those things give me a headache when I see them, don't waste your money, it's pure waste."

"This won't work, at least your literacy, or if I ask you to do things in the future, what if you don't know a single word?"

Han Ling straightened his face.

"Brother, are you willing to let me work with you?" Wei Xiaobao was still depressed before, he didn't expect to get into trouble after a drink, he didn't want to sit in a private school every day, it would be suffocating.But later, he suddenly realized that he was filled with joy.

Han Ling made a serious face on purpose:

"What? You don't want to?"

"Yes, of course I do!"

Wei Xiaobao nodded hastily.

"Okay, you will learn to read first tomorrow. When will you be able to read and write normally. I will arrange things for you."

"Brother, I'll listen to your orders." At this time, Wei Xiaobao was far from being the all-powerful big man who dealt with all kinds of forces with ease. At this time, he was eager to get ahead. At this moment, Han Ling stretched out his hand to him. Naturally, he would try his best to seize this opportunity, even if it made him do something that would cause him headaches.

The two ate food and wine for a while, and Han Ling asked, "Xiaobao, do you know about the salt owl? I'm a little puzzled. Logically speaking, such a lucrative business as smuggling salt should be hard to stop. How do you feel about this?" It just happened recently, so there were no salt owls in Yangzhou before?"

"Brother, you don't know. In the past, the water transportation in Yangzhou was under the jurisdiction of the government in name, but in fact it was under the unified management of my Wuhumen. The master of Fengmen made a rule that all traders must pay taxes before trading, otherwise the Wuhumen will lose their money." Confiscate goods and impose penalties.

At the beginning, some people didn't take it seriously, but they were quickly suppressed by Wuhumen.Someone once organized a rebellion, but the Five Tigers are strong and strong, and ordinary people are no match for them.Over time, no one dared to make trouble here anymore. "

Han Ling secretly praised Feng Tiannan, outsourcing government affairs, a coquettish operation.

Seeing that Han Ling was listening carefully, Wei Xiaobao became more interested.

"But later, after the new magistrate came, he suspected that Wuhumen was greedy for ink, so he took over the water transportation again. However, he was not capable of the master of Fengmen. Slowly, the place started to become chaotic again."

Hearing this, Han Ling roughly understood.

It still has something to do with Song Ting's ruling.

In recent years, Song Ting has been weak, and its control over the local area has gradually declined.Therefore, Song Ting controlled the local establishment extremely strictly.

After all, Yangzhou does not have enough manpower to manage the water transport.

Enrollment expansion?Are you trying to rebel?
However, now is not the time for emotion.

Han Ling asked again: "Then, how long has it been since the magistrate's jurisdiction and the appearance of Yanxiao?"
