The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

After leaving from the top of the mountain, Lin Tian and Situ Meng followed the mountain road and quickly found what the man said was a mountain path with someone holding hands.

At the same time, they happened to see a pair of people coming out of there pushing a wheelbarrow. Not surprisingly, the bags on the cart should be the salt after packing.

With Lin Tian's good eyesight, he could see the words of Shen's company printed on the bag from a distance. It seems that these should be private salt shipped to Xuzhou City for sale.

"Xiaotian, the entrance to this place is really too narrow, and there are so many guards, we probably won't be able to get in without anyone noticing it!" Situ Meng frowned and said in a low voice.

"Well, I don't know when the Cao Gang's cargo ship will be available. It seems that we can only go to the other side of the cliff to see and think of other ways!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he and Situ Meng quickly Swept towards the side of the cliff.

It is already dusk at this moment, and the afterglow of the setting sun is sprinkled on the lake, reflecting the beautiful scenery of half of the river and half of the river. It is a pity that Lin Tian and Situ Meng are not in the mood to appreciate it now.

"Mengmeng, look here, the entrance of the cave should be below!" Lin Tian and Situ Meng lay on the cliff, Lin Tian pointed to the place below, and said softly.

"En!" Situ Meng nodded and asked, "How do we go down? There is no place on the top of the mountain where we can tie a rope! I don't know if this cliff is natural, or they have processed it, and it is actually stronger than the ice surface." Creamy!"

"Hehe..." Lin Tian chuckled and said, "Don't worry, we can walk slowly in a while!"

"En?" Situ Meng was full of doubts, and saw Lin Tian gently put his hand on the cliff outside. After a while, dozens of steps on the cliff appeared staggered, like It was like a step, and judging from the texture, it was a step made of pure metal, and it was absolutely no problem to bear the weight of the two of them.

"Okay, let's go!"

After Lin Tian finished speaking, he turned around first and walked down the stairs quickly.Situ Meng followed closely behind her, and after a short while, the two arrived at the top of the cave.

They didn't go down directly, but clinging to the small column that Lin Tian temporarily extracted the metal from the rock and condensed, and moved quickly inside the cave roof.After all, the defense here is heavily guarded. Even if both of them are good at martial arts, if they are discovered and surrounded by a large group of people, then this spying will fail.

The two of them moved quickly at the top of the cave, according to the map that the young man had just drawn for them, they quickly moved towards the room of the chief executive.

Although the place in the cave is wide, the terrain is not complicated. In less than a stick of incense, the two of them found the chief executive's room, but at the moment it was obvious that someone was talking in the room.

Lin Tian made gestures with Situ Yun, and the two quietly sneaked to the window of that house, one on the left and the other on the right, Lin Tian squatted down and hid in an unobtrusive corner under the window sill, and at the same time gently moved his hands Put it on the wall, and after a while, a small round hole appeared on the wall, and Lin Tian looked inward along the hole.

Situ Meng flew up to the roof, lying quietly on the eaves, gently lifted a tile, and looked into the room.

"Boss, this month, Prince Loyalty's dragon boat sailed to the south of the Yangtze River, and almost half of the canal was blocked, so that the cargo ships under my command could not be transported normally at all. Those official salts are still temporarily stored in the warehouse on the other side of Taihu Lake. !

See if you can allow some more time, after the prince's dragon boat leaves, my men will deliver the goods right away!Never delay your shipment! "Cao Changrong said flatteringly.

"Hmph! You are talking about lightness! You have gathered all the goods together and shipped them here. How can I have such a big place to store them here? Even if everyone is working tirelessly, it is too late!" One kept The middle-aged man with two mustaches scolded angrily:

"Are you a pig! The restriction on the canal is only a small section of the river that the dragon boat will pass through, and it will not be completely closed! You won't let your people transport the goods to Huai'an Mansion, and then transport them over by road?"

Seeing that Cao Changrong didn't speak, the middle-aged man was even more annoyed, and continued: "Besides, the prefect of Xuzhou belongs to us, even if the entire river is blocked on the surface, but you tell him in private, use a small boat Just secretly transport things here at night!

No one else will find out, it's good now, the surrounding Shandong and Henan are going to be out of stock because of your stupidity!When the time comes, the master will ask, can you bear this responsibility? "

"Sir, calm down, calm down!" Cao Changrong licked his face, smiled, and said, "Isn't this Yangzhou the new salt inspection censor, Master Lin, who just took office! He directly notified all the salt merchants. Everything will be invalid from this month, and a new salt guide will be issued on the first day of the next month.

And he also notified the salt field that no one should be allowed to transport a grain of salt without his order until the new salt is brought down!

The whole of Yangzhou, and even the water and land docks in Jiangnan, have been carefully inspected by him these days. As long as salt is found, all of them will be confiscated. It is temporarily stored on the site of the Cao Gang in Taihu Lake, and it will only wait a few days for the wind to loosen up, and continue to act!After all, the new official took office three fires, and our Cao Gang didn't dare to touch Lord Lin's bad luck! "

"Hmph! Who are you fooling here? It's just a new Yanyan censor from the capital. The people he can send out are not the old people who were in the Yanyan censor's mansion. Which one of you, Cao Gangzhu, doesn't know? They will Blocking your goods? What a joke!

Well, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, you hurry up and hand over all the previous account books, and you must ship all the remaining official salt to me within ten days!snort!My master said, this time the matter is done, I will help you get rid of that Niu Dayong completely, and help you to be the leader of the Cao Gang!

At that time, we can increase our cooperation, not only in Jiangsu, Shandong, and Henan, but all the salt in the world will be under our control! "

"What the chief executive said is true! I must bring the remaining official salt as soon as possible, as soon as possible!" Cao Changrong smiled and asked softly: "This time Prince Zhongshun went to Jiangnan under the name of an imperial envoy. It is said that The emperor also granted Shang Fang the sword, which has the right to cut first and play later. Is this just to support the new inspector Yushi? If the prince really makes a move, my little Cao gang can't handle it. Stay!"

"What are you afraid of! This business is not my Zhen family's business!" The head manager touched his mustache and said proudly:

"Now, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth! There are quite a few people behind our business! Not only are there three of the four founding kings with different surnames, but also the mansion of Liguo, Qiguo, and Jinling among the eight princes. The four great families of King Jia, Shixue, and the well-known Shen family among the imperial merchants all participated in it!

How about the previous salt censors?Wasn't it because the old man calmly cleaned up everything? That Zhao man is so ignorant that he still wants to sue the emperor about us, so we can only send him to see the King of Hades!Moreover, with such a notorious reputation, future generations will not be able to lift their heads up!Ha ha ha ha……

So what about the new Mr. Lin, if he doesn't cooperate with us obediently, then there will only be a dead end!I heard that Mr. Lin has been married for ten years, and his knees are still empty. My master has already prepared several beauties for him!

As for Prince Zhongshun, he is just a boy in his teens, what kind of imperial envoy can he be, what kind of case can he investigate!I guess this time I just want to go out to Beijing for some fun, the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are just pampering him, it's not worth mentioning! "

"What your lord said is true, what your lord said is true!" Cao Changrong wiped the cold sweat off his brow with his sleeve, his eyes were rolling, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

"My lord, the Governor of Xuzhou sent someone to send a message, saying that there is something important to discuss with Chief Cao and ask when you will be free!" A servant said loudly at the door.

"Well, I see! You tell them, I still have a little business here, and we will go there when we are done!" The chief manager said nonchalantly.

"Yes!"

"My lord, the other deputy gang leader and I have been trying to win over those vacillating hall masters, and we have to deal with the Niu family's father and son. We are really a little nervous. I don't know when the previous dividends will arrive. Huh?" Cao Changrong asked in a low voice.

"What? It's been a long time since the last batch of goods was sent out. I'm afraid it hasn't arrived yet, so you're in a hurry to get a dividend!" The head manager squinted at Cao Changrong, his eyes full of disdain.

"Hey..." Cao Changrong smiled wryly, and said, "This Niu Dayong seems to be on the verge of dying, and the competition between the gang leaders has reached the most critical moment, and the money is indeed used. I don't know if the chief executive can advance me some money first." , or borrow some money! After all, as long as I can successfully ascend to the position of leader, it will be good for all of us to cooperate in the future, won't it?"

"It's impossible to pay in advance! After all, you can't break the rules just because you are alone! How about this, for the sake of our cooperation, I will lend you 1 taels! But you have to give me the account book first , otherwise, it will be difficult for me to deal with the master!" The chief executive said helplessly.

"Okay, okay!" Cao Changrong responded repeatedly, then took out the booklet with "Little Red Coat" from his arms, handed it to the chief manager, and said solemnly: "This is the previous account book! In order not to be found out, I Just change this cover, please don't mind the Master Manager!"

"It's okay, as long as the things are right!" The chief manager said, quickly opened the account book, flipped through a few pages, and after confirming that there was no problem, he put it in the cabinet beside him and locked it, and tied the key to his own. Put on the waistband of his trousers, and left with Cao Changrong.

Lin Tian and Situ Meng quickly restored the holes in the wall and the tiles on the roof, and after waiting for a while, after making sure that the two of them had left completely, Lin Tian directly used the metal ability to open the door lock, and then entered the A careful inspection of the house began to rummage through.
