People really don't want to work overtime in Daxia

Chapter 67
"The little one stole some food from the kitchen and took it away?"

It was just a little dish, Yu Qing thought it was a big deal, but unexpectedly the cook continued to talk.

"The villain is convicted. I also stole meat, eggs, and some condiments from the kitchen. I even stole half a sheep a few days ago!"

aha?At this time, Yu Qing was stunned. This series of more than a dozen things and half a sheep is a bit too much, right?

Seeing that Yu Qing hadn't made a sound yet, the cook knew that his lord was really amazing, and he knew all about it.

"My lord, these are nothing!"

Isn't that a big deal?Yu Qing thought to himself, you almost emptied the kitchen, is that a big deal?
At this moment, the cook was desperate and said, "The villain admits it, I took the refined salt from the kitchen and sold it secretly."

Refined salt?sold?After saying this, Yu Qing became a little angry. If you eat it by yourself, it doesn't matter if you are greedy, but if you steal it and sell it, according to the law, it will cost you at least [-] rods!
wrong!At this time, Yu Qing remembered who told him that the refined salt in the mansion was consumed a lot. Yu Qing thought it was because sometimes people used it more, but it turned out to be reselling, but he knew why the recent meals did not feel salty. , At first I thought I was on fire.

"Come on!" Yu Qing yelled at the door, and his own guard came in, and the cook shivered under the roar.

At this time, Yu Qing was going to check out——Beng (collapsing) couldn't live anymore. This behavior was outrageous, and Yu Qing was furious and determined to find out about it.

The personal guard carried the cook to the main hall by himself, and Yu Qing sat there looking at the cook.

"Come on, let's talk about selling salt!"

"The little guy just took out the salt and sold it."

With a "pop" sound, Yu Qing slapped his palm on the table, "I know it was sold. Who did it sell to?"

"Don't say it's ordinary people who are here to deceive me. You must know that the price of refined salt in salt shops on the market is almost ridiculously low. If it is cheaper than salt shops, you will hardly make much money."

"It's a businessman who came to Hope City. There are people who specialize in collecting refined salt." The cook said sadly, "My lord, I'm not the only one who does this. Many people sell refined salt. If the price is not low, it will bring you a lot of money!"

"Many people? You sell refined salt to supplement it. What do ordinary people eat after selling refined salt!"

"Returning to my lord, the worst thing for ordinary people is to use vinegar cloth or something. Many people couldn't afford vinegar cloth before, but now they can afford vinegar cloth by selling refined salt!"

Yu Qing's face was dark. He didn't expect that he had forgotten about buying and selling, and he was actually smuggling so openly under his nose?

The cook was directly pulled down and put in prison, and the guards came directly to report to Qiu Liang to see him.

"Sir, I have something to report!"

Yu Qing nodded with satisfaction. He was indeed his favorite subordinate. It seemed that they had discovered the smuggling of refined salt.

"Also ask the adults to give us names!"

Give a name?Yu Qing was stunned when these words came out, who would be named? "Ahem, what's your name?"

When these words came out, Qiu Liang was taken aback and then said, "My lord, although we are working in the dark, we must have a name! If we don't go out, how can we report our name? It's a bit embarrassing!"

After hearing this, Yu Qing understood that it was referring to Qiu Liang and his subordinates, "Well, it should be given a name!"

Yu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you call it the Tingfeng Tower! The wind transmits sound, and you are my eyes and ears, so it's just right to call it Tingfeng! As for the tower, you can only see far when you stand tall."

As soon as the name Tingfeng came out, Qiu Liang grinned and said, "Thank you, sir, I will call you Tingfeng later! If nothing happens, I will resign!"

"Hey, wait!" Yu Qing hurriedly stopped Qiu Liang, thinking in his heart that you came to me just for a name, and thought you knew something.

"Sir, what else is there to order?"

"Do you know what happened to Hope City recently?"

Qiu Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know, because most of the people in Tingfenglou have gone to those in the Central Plains, and a lot of people have gone to Korea and Shangao, so there are not many people in Tingfenglou in Hope City. "

"Someone smuggled recently!"

"Why is someone smuggled!" Qiu Liang's face turned green and pale for a while, he didn't expect that he didn't know that such a big event happened in Hope City, and he seemed to know something from Yu Qing's appearance.

"My lord, I don't know what is being smuggled? Food? Potatoes? Or armor and weapons?"

Yu Qing shook his head and said, "No, it's refined salt!"

"Refined salt?" Qiu Liang was a little stunned by this. You must know that refined salt is not restricted to people's purchase, and besides, it is cheap to sell and smuggled without making money.

Yu Qing told Qiu Liang what the cook said, and Qiu Liang broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, he was just smuggling refined salt. If someone bribed the cook to poison Yu Qing, it would be troublesome!
"The lower official suggested that the cook should be executed immediately to make an example to others!"

"It's not time yet, you should find out about the fine salt and get everyone together to settle the score together!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Liang understood that Yu Qing was planning to use a heavy code, and silently prayed in his heart that no one he knew would participate.

Early the next morning, Qiu Liang came to a private house in Hope City according to what the cook said.

From the outside, it looks no different from other houses in the city, after all, they were built together, but Qiu Liang discovered the problem after observing it not far away.

In such a short time, no less than dozens of people walked in, obviously holding things in their arms, and they were all beaming when they came out.That's right, it seems that this is the place, and there are many people who come here on purpose in such a remote place, and no one will believe it if they say it's not tricky.

I just don't know if there is a secret passage in it, Qiu Liang is a little worried because he is afraid that there will be a secret passage, if such people are not caught properly, his adults will definitely blame him.

In the end, Qiu Liang decided to bring some people in first to save them from running away.

Send someone to Xi Kaijie to borrow some fine salt, and divide it into small bags for each person.

Qiu Liang put his arms around the small bag and said, "We will be neighbors in a while, and we came together. Remember that you are selling things secretly, and act like a little bit for me in a while. If anyone shows his feet, I will not spare him!"

Five or six listening spies nodded with their small bags in their arms, and they went straight to the gate of the house, and Qiu Liang stepped forward and knocked on the firewood door.

After a while, there was only a "creak", the door opened a small gap, and someone inside said, "What are you buying?"

"We don't buy things, we sell them!" Qiu Liang immediately replied the secret words he got from the cook.

"How come I haven't seen you before?" Although the boy inside whispered to him, he was still cautious about so many people with unfamiliar faces coming at once.

Qiu Liang smiled and said, "I came here with my elder brother once before, and when I saw that I was making a lot of money, I called all my brothers here."

Talking about those behind-the-scenes spies showing the small bags in their arms, the servant nodded and opened the door a little wider.
