Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine

After simply assigning tasks, everyone quietly waited for the implementation of the plan.

Early the next morning, Yao Shu went to the market stalls and asked if there was any way to sell salt.

After all, this is illegal, so not many people dare to accept it.

As she asked along the way, she would naturally attract the attention of many people. Sure enough, just one morning later, someone took the initiative to find her.

"Madam, I heard that you want to buy salt, but why?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. This is because my family needs to do business recently and the expenses are too high. As a result, we no longer have enough money to buy official salt. Such expensive official salt is for a small family like us. You can afford it. You said you don't have to worry about people, but the business is about to start, and you don't have any money." After Yao Shu finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing her serious and sad look, the man immediately nodded slightly and approached her mysteriously: "If this lady sincerely wants it, I can give you a cheap price."

Yao Shu waved her hand gently: "Forget it, the cheap price you mentioned is only a few pennies cheaper than official salt. If there are channels, I naturally don't want official salt. But in today's world, it's simply not possible I can't find the salt I want. This old man, could it be your salt..."

Halfway through her words, the man suddenly waved his hand to signal her not to continue talking.

"Just leave these words to me alone. To be honest, I do have some goods here. If Madam really wants it, I can certainly give it to you cheaply. But after all, this is something that cannot be made public, and Madam needs to follow her. I'll go check it out. Madam, don't worry, you can inspect the goods first and then pay. If Madam doesn't want it, just tell her and I won't bother you anymore."

Hearing the man's words so sincerely made Yao Shu feel even more strange.

"Aren't you afraid that if you ask them to inspect the goods directly, they will inform the government?"

When the man heard this, the expression on his face became more arrogant: "There is nothing to be afraid of in our line of work. To tell you the truth, our family is actually different from other families. We..." The man wanted to continue, but He was interrupted by another bearded man.

The bearded man looked at the two men warily and asked what happened.

The first man told the bearded man everything about the conversation between the two, and the bearded man began to question Yao Shu cautiously.

Seeing that Yao Shu was about to be questioned about where her store was, Yao Shu immediately pretended to lose her patience: "If you are so troublesome, I'm thinking about it. I just bought salt, but I asked you to ask about my family background like this. No. You know, I thought you were from the government and came here to find out who was buying illegal salt."

After saying that, she once again pretended to be cautious and took two steps back, looking at the two men in front of her: "Could it be that you are really officials and came here to investigate this matter? Could this be the legendary baiting of fish? If this is the case, then I will resign."

After saying that, Yao Shu turned around and left.

She silently counted three in her mind, and sure enough she heard the two men behind her striding forward anxiously.

"Sister, you see, I'm really sorry. I've been offended so much just now. I can't blame us for being cautious. After all, this kind of thing is not something that can be brought to light. What if someone deliberately wants to deceive us? Isn't it wrong? What's our big deal?" Seeing that Yao Shu was really angry, the bearded man patiently tried to persuade her.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Yao Shu softened her tone and said, "Actually, it's not that I'm angry, it's just that your suspicious attitude just made me really unhappy. Since it was just a misunderstanding and everyone has talked about it, then this matter will be settled." It’s over. Naturally, I sincerely want private salt, so I also hope that our two families can do a sincere business."

Yao Shu sighed after speaking.

After some pulling and pulling, the two men finally believed that Yao Shu sincerely wanted to buy salt, so they took her to a warehouse on the outskirts of the city.

Looking at this gloomy environment, Yao Shu couldn't help but feel frightened.

She subconsciously shrank her neck, pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "Brothers, this place..."

"Madam, don't be afraid. There are very few officials in this place, so it is easier for us to do business. You don't have to worry, we never do anything to make money or kill people. What's more, this business can bring us With so many benefits, why should we get ourselves into a situation of fighting and killing." The first man persuaded very sincerely.

Yao Shu already understood the relationship between the two people, one was a bad guy and the other was a good guy. Only with such perfect cooperation can the other party believe that they really want to do business.

Following the two men, I walked in and found that the warehouse was full of neatly arranged private salt.

It seemed to weigh several tons and be priceless.

The shock on Yao Shu's face was not fake, after all, this was a crime of beheading. With so much private money, it was like snatching silver coins from the mouth of the imperial court.

No wonder the imperial court is cracking down on the sale of illegal salt. If so much salt were in the hands of the imperial court, the price it could sell would be as much as the entire country's tax revenue for a year.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

The imperial court's severe taxation caused many people to complain. Perhaps a large part of the reason was that the court had no income, and the salt that could really bring money to the court was also taken away by these people.

"How about it, big girl, do you know how powerful we are now? If you want, you just need to pay the money, and we can move you home now." The bearded man snorted, feeling proud.

He was not afraid of the woman in front of him. After all, she only looked weak and weak, and she was not capable of fighting at all.

Even if a woman wants to report to the official, they will not be afraid.

They have such strength that they can be protected by other people, and what Yao Shu has to do is to find out who is behind it.

"Is this all you have salt?"

Yao Shu's words made the two men stunned for a moment. You must know that this is several tons of salt, enough for several families to eat for a lifetime.

This woman's rude words made the bearded man feel even more uneasy.

He took out his machete and pointed it at Yao Shu's neck: "Who are you? Tell me!"

"Brother, don't be afraid, I'm just an ordinary woman. Since I can buy private salt from you, it means that my business is not that big. Brother, please rest assured, I will take the initiative to buy private salt now." , which also means standing with you.”
