The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 27
Wu House.

"Master, what the little one said is absolutely true. The salt merchant who followed the master went to the yamen yesterday, and then the yamen posted a notice that the price of salt has risen to ten yuan and one tael, and it can be bought in every Xianyang in Zhen'an County, and it is not expensive. No more restrictions."

The spies reported yesterday's investigation to Wu Zhenkun.

Wu Zhenkun squeezed the teacup in his hand.

He really didn't expect that someone would betray him after Huang Yuanwai.

And it was the salt merchants who worked with him before.

Up to now, it meant that his salt could not be sold in Zhen'an County at all, and he never had any chance.

"These people are all cowards. It's been a long time since they can't hold on to the pressure. They are destined to stay in Zhen'an County for the rest of their lives."

"Since you have all rebelled, don't blame me for being rude."

Wu Zhenkun said angrily.

What these people have done has seriously touched his bottom line.

"You sent people to release evidence of corruption by these salt merchants. I don't believe they can withstand the pressure."

Wu Zhenkun said to the spies indifferently.

He has cooperated with salt merchants for many years, and he has some clues, and it is a very serious corruption trick.

"Yes!"

said the detective.

"My lord, Song Wei has not only recruited 100 migrant workers, but also heard that there are more than 70 remaining catchers who are training every day. I think that if you give Song Wei more time, you really can't resist Song Wei."

After the spy hesitated a lot, he still told his story.

Wu Zhenkun nodded secretly after listening.

At first, he thought that Song Wei was just a small county magistrate, and he had no influence in Zhen'an County, so how could he fight against him, Wu Zhenkun?

But now Song Wei's shocking news broke out again and again, which has already caused many people to leave Wu Zhenkun and invest in Song Wei.

Although Wu Zhenkun didn't want to admit it, he thought in his heart that he underestimated Song Wei before.

"There is no need to worry about these things. As long as we can investigate how Song Wei purified the poisonous salt mine, when we are talking about taking Song Wei's salt mine, what can Song Wei do?"

Wu Zhenkun said lightly.

He had waited too long for this plan.

But the Songwei Salt Mine couldn't penetrate at all, let alone find out how to purify the poisonous salt mine.

"From now on, we will increase our efforts to investigate Song Wei's method of purifying the poisonous salt mine. Whenever there is an opportunity, we must investigate clearly at any cost."

Wu Zhenkun continued.

"Yes!"

The spy lowered his head and said.

Just when Wu Zhenkun was about to let the spies retreat, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"My lord, there are many government servants and catchers outside."

Butler Wu's voice came from outside the door.

Wu Zhenkun was also taken aback, wondering what the hell Song Wei was doing.

"what happened?"

Wu Zhenkun asked.

"It's better for the master to come in person."

Butler Wu was silent for a while and said.

Wu Zhenkun frowned.

"Okay, I see."

Wu Zhenkun said something, stood up and left the room.

Arriving at the door of Wu Mansion, even Wu Zhenkun was shocked.

A long row of carriages, lined up.

At a glance, it is impossible to count how many carriages there are.

Moreover, there are two catchers next to each carriage, and the front one has five or six catchers and two yamen servants.

This is of course Song Wei's handwriting.

After the salt merchants left the yamen, Song Wei asked the yamen servants to collect all the salt from the salt merchants.

And sent them all back to the Wu Mansion. In order not to have any accidents, Song Wei had already mobilized almost all the people in the yamen, leaving a few people to guard the yamen.

The leading yamen servant saw Wu Zhenkun coming out, and then stepped forward and said: "I have seen Wu Squire, this is Wu Squire's salt in Zhen'an County, now that Zhen'an County is not here, he will sell any salt from Wu Squire, our master is afraid of Wu Squire's salt The tide will return in the warehouse, so I sent a villain to collect all the salt from the Wu squire and send it back to the Wu mansion, why don't Wu squire check if there is any shortage?"

Standing at the door, Wu Zhenkun's mouth twitched after listening to the yamen servant's words.

Of course he knew just what was going on.

His own salt merchants took refuge in Song Wei, and of course Song Wei would not let them continue to sell his own salt.

This is also to distance myself from myself.

But Wu Zhenkun never imagined that Song Wei would do such a great job and send so many people over.

Presumably, many people along the way saw it.

This is Song Wei slapping Wu Zhenkun hard on the face on the bright side.

The point is that Wu Zhenkun can't do anything.

If he takes action at this moment, it will be completely impossible for the yamen to survive.

It was all in secret before, even others knew it in their hearts, but it was not on the bright side.

If it is on the bright side, then the nature will be different.

"Humph!"

Wu Zhenkun snorted coldly, and then said: "Then I really need to thank the county magistrate."

"It's all right, our master said he is still willing to help with such a small matter. After all, Squire Wu is also a prominent figure in Zhen'an County. As the head of a county, he still needs to help each other."

The yamen servant looked at Wu Zhenkun with a smile and said.

After Wu Zhenkun finished listening, the corner of his mouth twitched again.

If it wasn't that he couldn't take action against Song Wei, he really wanted to send someone into the yamen to beat Song Wei severely.

"keep it!"

With a cold face, Wu Zhenkun sent someone to take all the salt back to his mansion.

But the yamen servants at the side smiled and watched the people from the Wu Mansion move the salt back to the Wu Mansion.

It didn't mean to help at all, but it seemed to be a bit of a joke.

Wu Zhenkun looked at the yamen servant, snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and turned back to the Wu Mansion.

The yamen servant also stopped smiling when he saw Wu Zhenkun leaving.

These words were given to them by Song Wei, since Wu Zhenkun left, what's the point of him saying something else.

The yamen servant waited for the people from the Wu Mansion to take back the salt bit by bit. After all, the carriage still had to be taken back.

Wu Zhenkun's room.

Snapped!
As soon as Wu Zhenkun returned to his room, he threw his beloved teacup on the ground.

"Unreasonable! Simply unreasonable!"

Wu Zhenkun's face turned red, and he shouted.

"Well, you Song Wei, you did such a terrible thing, I really underestimated you!"

Wu Zhenkun said coldly.

Butler Wu's eyes also trembled at the side. He had never seen his master speak so loudly.

Since the fight with Song Wei, my master has been angry almost every day.

But he didn't dare to say anything at the moment, Wu Zhenkun was angry now, and he was looking for death by talking now.

Do you think you have a long life?

Butler Wu is not stupid either.

When Wu Zhenkun lost his temper, Butler Wu sent someone to put away the fragments of the teacup.

Wu Zhenkun sat on the chair, panting and raised his head.

"Master, pay attention to your body, after all, your body is your capital."

Butler Wu poured Wu Zhenkun a cup of tea, and said slowly.

Wu Zhenkun took a few deep breaths, then looked at Butler Wu.

Now Wu Zhenkun has calmed down, it is useless to be angry now, and it is easy to hurt the body.

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip.

Then he took a deep breath.

"Housekeeper, now you go and send people to Red Fox Mountain, and say that there are benefits to discuss with them."

Wu Zhenkun said lightly.

Steward Wu's heart trembled after hearing this, he knew that his master was serious.

But he still said without changing his face: "Yes, sir!"
