Chapter 565 Sleeves (59)

According to this person, the reason why the price of salt in Laizhou doubled and skyrocketed was all because of the judge.

On the surface, the price of salt is suppressed, but its original intention is to threaten the salt merchants and want benefits.

If you salt merchants are not knowledgeable and don't respect your officials, this official will suppress the price of salt and let you buy at a loss.

Although the salt merchants are not good people, they are still afraid of officials, so they sent thick silver notes. However, the judge has too much appetite. In order to satisfy the appetite of the judge, the salt merchants can only increase the price!
And there is more than one such person.
"Corrupt officials!"

When the corrupt officials thought of it for the first time, the repressed anger in the hearts of the people burst out!

"Yes, corrupt officials, corrupt officials deserve to die!"

"Let's go, let's go to Zhizhou Yamen and let the adults give us an explanation!"

"Let's go!"

Civil unrest is already brewing and fermenting!
Although this was only a small-scale incident, and Mo An'an was only verbally warned by Zhizhou, the blow to her reputation was not small.

……

In a big mansion in Qiaoli Hutong, Zhizhou Zhang Xianfu, Cheng Yunbao and others who sent money to Mo An'an last time were in harmony.

The most surprising thing is that the person sitting at the top is not Zhang Xianfu, the magistrate of Laizhou, but a man in his 50s.

This person is not an official, but a member of private salt dealers. In this group, speaking can be said to be solid.

But, in the final analysis - thieves too!
In the lobby, there were a total of ten people, apart from Zhizhou Zhang Xianfu, six officials including the Deputy Director of the Salt Division, were impressively present.

The other yamen were all assistants, but unfortunately, Zhang Xianfu had a disobedient younger brother, and he wanted to take the blame, so he had to come in person.

But here, in fact, there is no room to speak, just listen to these people's discussion.Although these officials have become members of this interest group, facing this situation, they inevitably feel uncomfortable and their faces are gloomy.

The person at the top said: "How is everything arranged?"

Qiao Gejiao thought about his recent income...the price is much more expensive than usual, especially in the past two days, it has doubled, but the sales volume has not decreased, and he smiled: "Don't worry, Lord Qing, the price of salt has doubled now After a while, those common people are already full of resentment..."

The person at the top let out a "hmm" and continued, "That Master Ye didn't respond?"

Cheng Yunbao's complexion was not very good. He was the one who contacted Mo An'an last time. He thought she had given in, but he didn't know that she didn't take him seriously.The money has been collected, but what should I do.

With a sneer, "If you don't drink a toast, you will be punished!" Then, he said to the person above him, "That Liu Yuanlang has been doing a lot lately, posting notices everywhere to prevent people from buying salt."

Speaking of this, Cheng Yunbao glanced at Zhang Xianfu, "He took the yamen servants under his command and ransacked several grain and oil shops! Mr. Zhang, this Zhizhou yamen is your territory!"

Zhang Xianfu also had to speak out at this time, frowned and said: "I want to stop it, but the price of salt in the city has also risen too exaggeratedly, and people rushed to the government two days ago."

Of course, he knew who was behind the incident of the common people rushing to the Yamen, and he had even heard them discussing this matter with his own ears before.

When he thought that these people were just spreading rumors, he didn't expect it to turn out like this!
Although the sword was pointed at Ye Ci, but as a governor of a state, if he really caused a big mess, he would also have to take responsibility.

"Master Qing, this is not a trivial matter. If there is a civil disturbance, the court probably won't let it go."
