Forced to start the game, summon a hundred thousand snow dragon riders

However, outside the salt shop, there was a long queue.

But under the leadership of Ma Sanye.

They jumped in line and entered the salt shop.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Ma, what wind brought you here?"

Seeing that the leader was Ma Sanye, the attitude of the shop owner immediately became enthusiastic.

"There is no salt at home, I'll buy a few packets of salt."

Ma Sanye said calmly.

"Third Master, with your status, you actually come to our place to buy salt? You live a frugal life these days."

The shop owner was all smiles, and then shouted to the guy behind him: "Give three bags of salt to the third master."

After Ma Sanye paid the money, he handed over three packs of salt to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu opened the package directly.

Research the private salt in your hands.

The texture of this private salt was very wrong, and the color was rather black. Li Xiu took a sip, then spat it out, with a bitter taste in his mouth.

Compared with the official salt, the quality is much worse.

"The quality of this private salt is so poor, why are there so many people buying it?"

Li Xiu had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Because it's cheap."

Ma Sanye explained, "The price of private salt is only half of that of official salt. Based on this alone, no matter how rough it is, there will be a large number of people rushing to buy it."

Hear this.

Li Xiu understood instantly.

Because it is cheap!

For ordinary people, this one is enough!

However, the consequences of the proliferation of private salt can only be that private salt is getting more and more popular, while official salt sales are getting worse and worse, which will affect the revenue of the treasury.

No wonder, Datang is becoming stronger and stronger today.

The treasury still runs short from time to time.

Private minting copper coins, selling private salt!

When Li Xiu came out of the palace, she discovered two major problems!

These two major problems have caused serious harm to the Tang court!

"Cao Zhengchun, do you know what to do?"

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed his hands to Li Xiu, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this old slave will go and gather supervisors and guards to strictly investigate the issue of privately minted copper coins and private salt!"

"Within seven days, I will definitely give His Majesty an explanation!"

In the capital city, at the foot of the emperor.

There is such a big loophole.

Although it is a civil matter.

But behind the scenes there must be people from the DPRK and China behind the scenes.

All these people must be caught!

Just when Li Xiu, Cao Zhengchun, and Ma Sanye were about to leave.

suddenly.

The four tall and burly thugs formed a row of people, blocking the way of the three of them.

At this moment, the owner of the salt shop came out of the shop and stared at Li Xiu and the others with a sneer on his face, "You three, are you not here to buy salt?"

"Why, you want to go to the government to sue me for selling illegal salt?"

"good."

Li Xiu didn't deny it, but nodded very seriously, and said: "The imperial court expressly prohibits the sale of private salt. You have committed a felony by ignoring the imperial court's laws."

"We're going to the government to report you."

"Inform me?"

Not only was the owner of the salt shop not afraid at all, he laughed out loud, looking at Li Xiu like he was looking at an idiot, "Sue! Go ahead and sue!"

"Someone ignores you and counts me as a loser!"

Li Xiu pretended to be shocked, "Your Excellency is so confident, is there someone in the court?"

"Naive boy, you're finally enlightened!"

The owner of the salt shop looked at Li Xiu sarcastically, "The boss behind me is Master Jing Zhaoyin!"

"In Chang'an City, this is the old man!"

The owner of the salt shop gave a thumbs up and said proudly.

Looking at the triumphant salt shop owner.

Cao Zhengchun grinned.

He cast a grateful look at the owner of the salt shop.

No need to check now.

The goal is there.

Chapter 173 Jing Zhaoyin's Resentment

It turned out to be Jing Zhaoyin.

Li Xiu's face quickly revealed a hint of bewilderment.

Jing Zhaoyin is the chief executive in charge of the capital, including Chang'an City.

It is indeed in power.

Selling private salt, such a big matter, can't be handled without his nod.

With the line of Jing Zhaoyin.

With the ability of Cao Zhengchun and Dongchang.

It is not difficult to follow the clues and find out everyone on this rope.

See Cao Zhengchun's expression.

The owner of the salt shop knew that he had slipped his tongue, so his face darkened immediately, and he greeted the four big men behind him, "Give it to me!"

"Take three of them, and don't let one escape!"

The voice fell.

The four tall and burly thugs rushed towards Li Xiu and the others.

however.

Li Xiu didn't move.

Cao Zhengchun had already rushed out.

in the blink of an eye.

Like a ghost, it floated past the four thugs.

next moment.

All four thugs fell to the ground.

Foaming at the mouth, unconscious.

Seeing the four thugs falling to the ground at the speed of light, the owner of the salt shop opened his mouth wide.

Before he could react, Cao Zhengchun had already grabbed his neck and lifted him up like a chicken.

"Forgive...forgive...life..."

The owner of the salt shop turned red and was about to suffocate.

"Don't worry, the miscellaneous family will not kill you."

A creepy smile appeared on Cao Zhengchun's face, and his palms relaxed a bit, "The Zajia is still counting on you to provide information to the Zajia."

"Miscellaneous... home?"

The face of the salt shop owner changed, "You... are you from the palace?"

In an instant.

The owner of the salt shop felt something was wrong.

These two people have a lot of background!

"Keep your dog's eyes open!"

At this time, Ma Sanye immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "This is the Governor Cao of Dongchang!"

"The old man escorted His Majesty on a tour in a low-clothes suit. You dare to attack His Majesty. You are a daring slave. It is not too much to punish your nine clans!"

"what?!"

"Director Cao?"

"His Majesty?"

The owner of the salt shop has an earthy face.

Was that young man just now the Holy One?

He just wanted to beat the emperor?

The salt shop owner's heart almost stopped beating.

A face of indifference.

But Li Xiu came forward with a smile, patted the salt shop owner on the shoulder, and said, "Tell me everything you know, and I will keep you safe."

"If not, I will destroy your ten clans."

These words made the owner of the salt shop feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Destroy the Ten Clans!

So cruel!

"Quick, do you want to talk?"

Cao Zhengchun seemed very impatient, "Even if you don't tell me, when the miscellaneous family arrests Jing Zhaoyin, there is still a way to get him to confess."

"But your ten clans will be wiped out in vain."

The owner of the salt shop looked sad and could only nod his head, "I'll do it, I'll do it all."

"As far as I know, besides my shop, there are eight private salt shops in Chang'an City."

"The filial piety of us salt merchants is all given to Mr. Jing Zhaoyin He, and then distributed to several other adults in the court through his hands."

"As for the identities of the other adults, it's beyond me, a small character, who can know."

"However, I heard that several wealthy businessmen who smuggle copper in the capital are also very close to Master Jing Zhaoyin He..."

"..."

"Really?"

Li Xiu raised her eyebrows.

Murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes!

In this way, the private casting of copper coins is also related to Jing Zhaoyin!
