In the dark night, the Yunqiao Wharf is very busy. As the largest wharf in Daliang, it is busy all year round.

Several carriages drove in through the side door, each with three horses. The carriages were large and covered with tarpaulins, so it was hard to see what was inside, but judging from the marks on the axles, it was undoubtedly empty.

Several figures quickly disappeared into the darkness, one of them galloped towards the outside of the pier, and the rest followed the carriages all the way.

"Hurry up... move faster, the cargo must be unloaded before midnight."

"Boss, isn't it too late? It's only an hour away, and this is a lot!"

"Let's talk nonsense, and don't look at the current situation... The city is checking for illegal salt every day. If you are found, how many heads do you have?"

"Let's just say it's official salt, so it's over? Anyway, it's the government's wharf, so what are you afraid of?"

"You're smart! Go to work...don't treat the imperial envoy as a fool!" In the middle of the night, a group of people sneakily unloaded the goods, and a fool would believe that it was official salt, not to mention that every batch of official salt was recorded.

But these things are not under the control of his little boss.

There was a lot of noise on the pier, and a dozen porters were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, each of them was carrying heavy cargo back and forth between the boat and the carriage.

The salt is packed in sacks, each weighing at least a hundred catties, fine powdered salt spills out of the sacks and sticks to the sweaty clothes. Over time, a layer of skin is worn off the entire back.

But these porters have to endure and guard, earning huge profits. They are paid two or three times the usual wages, but there is only one thing, they must keep their mouths tight, otherwise they will die.

These people are generally trustworthy porters who have cooperated with the ship owner for a long time, so they dare to joke a few words with the person in charge.

"My lord, these few carriages are not enough!" Someone looked at the remaining goods and found the little boss to report.

"I don't know enough, let's load it up and take it away first. Now that the inspection is strict, the carriages are scattered and hidden in various places. There will be a few more cars coming later."

As soon as the man finished speaking, he heard the sound of a carriage coming from not far away. When he got closer, he saw that it was indeed their carriage.

"Hurry up, let the ones that are full go first... Hey, brother, why are you driving the carriage? I haven't seen you before." Seeing the coachman's face, the boss felt his heart skip a beat, put one hand on his waist, and slowly approach him.

The coachman grinned, "Hey, brother Xiaoqiang, I used to be in charge of the warehouse, don't you remember? Didn't you give me a pearl last time? Everyone in our place came out with a new face , the adults said it was safe."

"Really?" The boss couldn't remember such a trivial matter for a long time, and asked suspiciously: "How is this safe? What proof do you have?"

He tilted his head and looked at the other carriages. Sure enough, the drivers were all unfamiliar faces, and he felt even more uneasy.

The coachman dug in his pocket and took out a piece of paper with a private seal on it, "Look, this is the official seal of Liao Guanshi. The old man said that people who often walk around the pier are not safe." , it was easy to be recognized by others, so we came here instead.”

The leader nodded after checking it. It was indeed Guanshi Liao's private seal, and the carriage was also theirs, so his guard was slightly weakened.

The coachman continued his efforts, smiled and handed over a purse, "Brother Xiaoqiang, last time I sold the pearl you gave me at a good price, here is half of the money, please keep it."

The leader took the purse in a daze, only feeling that the purse was heavy, at least there were ten taels of silver.

He knew that if it was a top-quality pearl, it could sell for hundreds of taels of silver, but he was not stupid, how could it be possible to give such a valuable thing to a warehouse manager?

However, only 20 taels of pearls were sold, so they must not be top-quality goods. The people who deliver the goods always give some benefits to the warehouse managers, and occasionally they can deduct a little change from the goods. As long as the accounts are evened out, no one will know. .

Although the boss still had some doubts in his heart, it was impossible for him to spit out the money.

Of course, the most important point is that this person speaks a local dialect, so he must be one of his own.

Because of the arrival of the third prince, the entire Yunjin City was enveloped in a tense and chilling atmosphere, and the common people didn't feel anything. People like them, who licked blood with knives, stepped on the edge of the cliff every step they took. It's like hanging your head on the waistband of your trousers to do things, people are going crazy.

In the backyard of the yamen, Mu Zhifu was hugging a singing girl and having a drink with Teng Yu. He probably drank a little too much.

"Come on... Your Highness has been busy for several days, and it's time to take a break. I'll toast you..." Mu Zhifu raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his plump cheeks quickly turned red.

Teng Yu was very embarrassed, and he said with a half-smile: "Lord Mu asks people to hand out invitations every day, and my highness is embarrassed to reject them every day. It's rare that I have free time, so I came to bother you."

"Don't dare, it's because I'm reckless. I know you're busy, and I'm always worried that those servants in Graceland don't know how to serve you, so I'm afraid they'll neglect you."

"How come? Huo Tian is very satisfied with their cooking skills, and he wants to snatch them back." Teng Yu laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to scratch Yin Xu's head.

Yin Xu glared at Teng Yu, but did not refute. Teng Yu kissed him on the cheek with a smile, and the two ignored the others, flirting in public.

Mu Zhifu's small eyes turned around the two of them, revealing an ambiguous smile, he had heard about this a long time ago, the people in the kitchen are the most valued in Graceland now, and they get rewards every day, not to mention, Occasionally, he was called to praise him face to face, which made the other servants very upset.

Mu Zhifu was very satisfied with this situation. Although the people in the kitchen couldn't find any useful information, they were able to control the lives of these two, so he felt much more at ease.

"Haha, from what you said, the imperial chef in the palace is the best in the world. The seventh young master must have eaten too much imperial food and wanted a change. When you two return to Beijing, just take them away together."

Teng Yu looked at Mu Zhifu with a very helpful expression, and his eyes became more kind.

Mu Zhifu felt complacent for a moment, thinking that the third prince was so easy to win over, Huo Qishao made him dizzy, and really complied with the sentence "the color makes the mind faint".

But that's good too, it saves them a lot of trouble, and in the future, as long as they care about the feelings of the seventh young master, they won't be afraid to deal with these two.

However, Mu Zhifu obviously thought things too simply. He was humming and enjoying the beauty's massage when he saw a pair of guards suddenly broke into the outside. He was about to yell at them when he saw that the clothes on those guards looked familiar.

Shaking his head, he finally remembered, aren't these the third prince's personal guards?He remembered that these people were all stationed outside the city. Did something major happen?

He thumped in his heart, thinking that there was still a cargo on the pier tonight, he suddenly became nervous.

The drum music stopped, the wine glass fell to the ground, and the hall became completely silent, only the leading guard said: "His Royal Highness, my subordinates intercepted several carriages, and found that someone was escorting illegal salt!"

"What? Who is so bold?" Teng Yu kicked away the tea table in front of him, stood up and asked, "Where is the thing? Take the hall to have a look!"

Mu Zhifu scrambled to his feet and trotted to catch up. He wiped off his cold sweat and winked at the housekeeper beside him.

The butler had been prepared for a long time, pushed a young man to follow, and left quietly by himself.

Five carriages were parked side by side outside the Yamen. The coachman and the guards accompanying the carriage were all taken down, and they were kneeling under the steps of the door.

Teng Yu glanced at those people and strode towards the carriage. He drew out his long sword and cut the tarpaulin outside the carriage, only to see neatly piled sacks on the carriage.

He cut open a sack casually, and white fine salt sprinkled down, making the eyes of Mu Zhifu who followed behind him dazzled.

He hurriedly stepped forward and mentioned a kneeling coachman, "Tell me, where did this salt come from? Where is it going to be transported?"

The coachman shook his head and replied in a low voice: "My lord, the villains are wronged. All these salts are going to be taken to the Salt Affairs Department. The villain doesn't know why these adults want to arrest the little ones."

"Oh? So that's the case, misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!" Mu Zhifu explained with a smile: "Your Highness, it seems that there was a misunderstanding. How dare this smuggling salt smuggler go the official way openly. I will let the people from the Salt Affairs Department Come and claim it!"

"Wait!" Teng Yu reached out his hand to stop him, walked up to the driver, and asked politely, "Are you from the Salt Affairs Department?"

"Yes."

"Oh, why pull salt in the middle of the night? I wonder if there is a curfew in this city?"

"Small... I don't know about the small one." The coachman reluctantly raised his head to glance at Teng Yu, then lowered his head hurriedly, just kept glancing at Mu Zhifu from the corner of his eyes.

"Those who don't know are not guilty, there are excusable circumstances..."

Mu Zhifu was relieved when he heard this, and was about to agree with him, when Teng Yu suddenly changed the subject and said: "But since it has been intercepted, it should be checked according to the formal procedures, Mr. Mu, what do you think? "

Mu Zhifu's face changed, "Yes... that should be the case, so the next official will make arrangements?"

Teng Yu glanced at him, and two guards blocked the prefect Mu's way forward. He said with a smile, "How can the dignified prefect need to be involved in such a trivial matter? Just send two people."

The two guards stepped forward, jumped on their horses, and headed towards the Salt Affairs Department.
