All the gentlemen who are attacked by the female queen are stunningly beautiful

Song Xiang called Shen Yubai, followed Shen Yubai out of Songzhuyuan, and then walked to where Luo Futao was waiting.

He said to Luo Futao: "Your younger brother Shen Gongzi has been rescued. If you two have a conscience, you will pretend that you have never seen us today!"

"Let's go!"

Shen Yubai took out a handful of money from the bag on his waist, threw it to Luo Futao and said, "Don't follow us!"

Turning around, he said impatiently: "Let's go! Good man!"

Song Xiang followed Shen Yubai and said without even looking behind him: "I am not a kind person. You, Mr. Shen, are much kinder than I, Song Xiang!"

Shen Yubai sneered and said, "Don't meddle in other people's business from now on!"

"Good good!"

Song Xiang knew that Shen Yubai was very upset at the moment, so he resisted talking to him along the way.

After returning to their respective rooms in the inn, Song Xiang tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and did not fall asleep until very late.

The two set off again the next day.

On the way, Shen Yubai met the two siblings Luo Fitao again.

Luo Futao was very excited to see Shen Yubai. She ran forward and asked, "Is the young master going to Hangu?"

"My younger brother and I are also going to Hangu. I wonder if we can go with the young master?"

Shen Yubai refused and said, "We have business to do. It's inconvenient. Please don't bother me anymore, Miss!"

There was a trace of disappointment in Luo Futao's eyes. She thought that the young master would give her sister and brother a ride because of her good looks, but she didn't expect that the young master would be so cold-hearted.

Luo Xifeng thought that Song Xiang saved him yesterday. When he saw that Song Xiang had good looks, he wanted to follow him.

"Miss, thank you for saving me last night!"

"There is no way to repay the kindness of saving my life, I can only pledge myself to you!"

Shen Yubai glanced at Song Xiang teasingly, his eyes twinkling: "Song Xiang, you asked for this!"

Song Xiang rolled his eyes and replied to Luo Xifeng: "It wasn't me who saved you yesterday, it was Mr. Shen next to me!"

"Also, I already have several husbands in my family, and I won't marry any more husbands!"

"Master Luo, you should stop worrying about what you shouldn't have!"

A trace of disappointment appeared on Luo Xifeng's face: "Miss already has a husband?"

Song Xiang replied calmly: "You two, please don't have any crooked ideas. Let's just say goodbye!"

Seeing that Shen Yubai was leaving, Luo Futao said anxiously: "Master Shen is going to Hangu, right? I used to go to Hangu to sell smuggled salt, so I'm quite familiar with it!"

Shen Yubai was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Song Xiang almost imperceptibly.

The two looked at each other briefly in the air, thinking that the news was leaked, and were discovered by Zhuang Luyu's spies.

But after thinking about it, I thought it was impossible. These two people were from Nansha County and had nothing to do with Zhuang Luyu.

However, since they are familiar with the situation in Hangu, it doesn't hurt to take them with them.

Shen Yubai thought about the level and said calmly: "You can follow first!"

Seeing this, Song Xiang ordered the two Luo Futao sisters: "You two sit on the shaft of the carriage behind you and don't talk too much."

After finishing speaking, Song Xiang rode in front.

After two days of driving on the road and crossing the Wujiang River, they finally arrived at Hangu.

Luo Futao said proudly: "I still have some merchants I know in Hangu. Two guests, please come with me!"

"Are you going to sell salt?"

Shen Yubai shook his head: "Now that you've arrived in Hangu, don't hide it. Tell me about the situation here!"

Luo Futao listened to Shen Yubai's voice and curled his lips and said: "Hangu is the seat of Master Zhuang. The sale of private salt here is unregulated. The people here in Hangu respect Master Zhuang very much. It is Master Zhuang who makes the people live a better life." Have a good day!"

"However, you are not allowed to slander Mr. Zhuang here. If someone hears it, you will be punished!"

"The entire Hangu respects Mr. Zhuang!"

Shen Yubai said coldly: "To get to the point, I want to know the price of your illegal salt sales!"

Luo Futao twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "Before Mr. Zhuang came here, a bucket of salt cost about thirty cents, but now it has increased to one hundred and twenty cents!"

"So expensive?" Song Xiang couldn't believe it, "Is your Nansha also so expensive?"

Luo Futao said with a smile: "A dou of sea salt over there only costs ten cents."

"Miss, you don't know. There are many processes involved in making salt, and there are very few truly good salts. That's why the price here is higher."

"Coupled with the high tax on salt imposed by the imperial court, most people buy salt from private salt dealers and merchants. The prices set by salt merchants are high, so the common people have no choice but to buy."

Shen Yubai said thoughtfully: "Salt tax is related to government affairs and food and grass planning. The people will not complain against His Majesty. Conflicts with those salt merchants are normal!"

Song Xiang asked Luo Futao: "Is the one hundred and twenty wen you mentioned the price set jointly by Hangu and salt merchants from other places?"

There are also cases of price gouging in history, not to mention that Hangu acquiesced in the existence of private salt transactions. It would be strange if corruption did not occur!

Luo Futao nodded and said, "That's true. People here can only buy cheap coarse salt through private salt dealers."

"Those fine salts are priced at over one hundred and twenty cents!"

Shen Yubai asked, "Does Mr. Zhuang know these things?"

Luo Futao looked around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so she whispered: "Master Zhuang must know..."

Shen Yubai coughed lightly and said, "Okay, you siblings can leave. Let's break up here!"

"We have business to do next, so you two don't have to follow us!"

Luo Futao followed Shen Yubai all the way without even seeing clearly what Shen Yubai looked like. She was reluctant to leave, but if she didn't leave, she might be disgusted by Mr. Shen.

If she really had no choice, she could only be a villain and quietly follow Mr. Shen.

The two of them seemed to be quite wealthy, and the younger brother Xifeng was very fond of the young lady riding a horse. If he could be favored by the young lady, he might be able to escape the fate of being drafted into sea service.

As for her, if she could marry Mr. Shen, she would become rich in this life.

Shen Yubai didn't understand what Luo Futao felt about Xiao Jiujiu. He called to Song Xiang and said, "Let's go, find an inn to stay in first!"

Song Xiang responded in a low voice and followed Shen Yubai's carriage towards the middle street.

Shen Yubai's young man Xitang looked around along the street. After driving for a distance, he finally found an inn in a busy section of the road.

After reporting to the car, Xitang stopped the carriage at the door of the inn.

Song Xiang jumped off the horse, threw the rope to the waiter at the door of the inn, and then stood there waiting for Shen Yubai.

Shen Yubai got off the carriage with his curtain hat on and followed Song Xiang into the building.

"Are you two going to be on top or stay in a hotel?"

Song Xiang smiled and said: "Of course it's to stay in the hotel! Let's arrange two rooms!"

The waiter quickly registered the names and surnames of the two people and led them to the third floor.
