The world's first county magistrate

Chapter 15
Early the next morning, the sky was still bright, and there was already a long queue at the gate of the yamen.

It is true that Song Wei is too crazy. The news of five yuan and one tael of salt has swept the entire Zhen'an County since yesterday.

The people in Zhenan County were crazy about it.

Before dawn, there was already a long queue at the gate of the yamen.

When the sky was bright and the gate of the yamen opened, a group of yamen servants came out and were shocked to see this scene.

In the previous yamen, it was rare to see a single person in a hundred years, and it could even be said to be desolate, but now there are countless long queues when they go out, which they never dared to imagine before.

After tidying up the necessary things, the servants started a new day of selling salt.

And now the Wu Mansion.

Wu Zhenkun welcomed a guest early in the morning.

It was the middle-aged man who reported to Wu Zhenkun yesterday.

"Come here early in the morning. Did something happen?"

Wu Zhenkun looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked.

"Brother Wu, we have started investigating Song Wei since yesterday." The middle-aged man coughed dryly, and then continued: "The result is surprising, Song Wei bought the salt from Lin County, but he only bought one A hundred catties, but he dared to sell it for five cents a tael, this hundred catties is impossible, but apart from this, we can't investigate the source of his salt at all."

Wu Zhenkun frowned after hearing this. If he didn't buy the salt from Lin County, where did Song Wei get the salt from?

Wu Zhenkun picked up the teacup and started to play with it.

"Song Wei dared to sell it for five yuan and one tael, which shows that his storage capacity must be amazing, but he made people buy it in a limited amount, which shows that although his salt inventory is amazing, it cannot support the purchase of the people in the entire Zhen'an County."

Wu Zhenkun said in a low voice.

The middle-aged man nodded, he thought so too, but the people he sent couldn't find the source of Song Weiyan at all, which was very strange.

"In this way, you continue to send people to investigate the source of Song Weiyan, and then destroy it." After Wu Zhenkun finished speaking, he turned to the butler beside him and said, "You go and ask people to find Huang Yuanwai to find me."

"Yes!"

The housekeeper and the middle-aged man said at the same time.

Wu Zhenkun looked at the teacup in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

In his eyes, Song Wei is just a clown, if he can't even handle a small county magistrate, it will give him no face in front of others.

Not long after, member Huang arrived.

"Brother Wu, I don't know why you came to me so early in the morning?"

Huang Yuanwai found a chair and sat down.

"Have you also heard about Song Wei?"

Wu Zhenkun looked at Yuanwai Huang and said.

Hearing the change in Song Wei Huang Yuanwai's face, he was beaten up dozens of times by Song Wei, and now he can still feel the deep pain.

"Naturally, brother Wu asked me to come here because of Song Wei's sale of salt?" Huang Yunwai asked.

Wu Zhenkun nodded: "Song Wei is no longer the same Song Wei as before. We have a common enemy, so I need your help with something."

Huang Yuanwai sneered in his heart, but his expression was still calm, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

"Brother Wu, just say so."

Wu Zhenkun put down the teacup in his hand: "Song Wei must not have enough storage for selling salt. I hope Huang Yuan sends someone to buy salt from Song Wei. If this continues, Song Wei's salt will definitely not be enough. I will give you some benefits after this is done. .”

No matter what Wu Zhenkun said, Yuanwai Huang's face remained unchanged.

"Brother Wu should know that Song Wei needs to register to sell salt, and each household can only buy one catty a month."

Huang Yuanwai said.

"Are you afraid?" Wu Zhenkun asked back, and then continued: "I believe you can do it, just send some people there."

After hearing Wu Zhenkun's words, Yuanwai Huang also frowned.

Speaking of being afraid of Song Wei, he was really not afraid.

He just wanted to gain more benefits, and Song Wei couldn't get into their eyes.

"Brother Wu's words have reached this point, so I'll send someone to buy it." Huang Yuanwai said in a low voice.

Wu Zhenkun didn't respond to Huang Yuanwai, and only showed a sneer when Huang Yuanwai left.

After leaving Wu's mansion, Huang Yuanwai immediately returned to his own mansion.

Snapped!
With a crisp sound, Huang Yuanwai smashed his teacup to the ground.

"It's really a fox!"

Officer Huang cursed loudly.

Then he sat on the chair, and only after he calmed down did he ask someone to clean up the fragments of the teacup.

"Go and ask the people in the mansion to buy salt at the yamen, buy it from all six stalls, buy as much as you can!"

Huang Yuanwai said to his housekeeper.

"Yes, sir!"

The butler bowed his head and said.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was almost noon.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on Song Wei's door.

"Come in!"

Song Wei put down the book in his hand and said.

A yamen servant came in and handed over the list to Song Wei.

"Master County Magistrate, this is the record of selling salt in the morning, but we found duplicates."

The yamen servant said to Song Wei.

Song Wei raised his eyebrows, took the list from the yamen servant and looked at it.

Sure enough, there were repetitions on several lists.

"Ah!"

Song Wei sneered, and then said: "Send someone to arrest all these people, then tie them up, and make them kneel at the gate of the yamen for public display!"

"Yes, sir!"

The yamen servant left Song Wei's room after saying a word.

Song Wei put all the lists on the table and sneered.

"Wu Zhenkun, Wu Zhenkun, is this all you have to do? And you Huang Yuanwai, don't you have a long memory when you hit you once?"

After sneering, Song Wei muttered softly.

Then Song Wei left the room and came to the gate of the yamen.

Although it was approaching noon at this moment, it couldn't resist the determination of the people.

There is still an endless queue outside the Yamen.

Song Wei observed for a while, and then watched a group of yamen servants bring people back.

"My lord, these are the people who buy salt repeatedly."

A leading yamen servant said to Song Wei.

Song Wei nodded, looked at the bound people, and said, "Take them aside and let them kneel down."

As soon as Song Wei finished speaking, the yamen servants led the people to the side of the yamen gate.

Then Song Wei took out a notice and handed it to the yamen servant: "Put this notice up and tell the people that if someone buys salt repeatedly, it will be the same as their end."

The yamen servant posted up the notice again, picked up the gong and knocked a few times.

The people who were a little bored looked at the gate of the yamen in an instant.

"Attention everyone, these people are people who buy salt repeatedly. If someone buys salt repeatedly like them, the consequences will be the same as theirs, and they will be displayed at the gate of the yamen!"

The yamen servant knocked on the gong again and shouted.

When the people heard it, they all looked at the person who was tied up for public display.

"Isn't that the servant of Huang Yuanwai's family?"

A person whispered to the person next to him.

"Yeah, I look like that too."

One person responded.

"This Huang Yuanwai is really uneasy and kind. He must have a grudge against the county magistrate, so he bought more."

"Isn't it rare for Huang Yuanwai to do such a thing? Let's buy salt honestly. The county magistrate has already sold the salt so low, even lower than Lin County, what a master Qingtian!"

Song Wei also heard the conversation of the people, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.
