After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

"You are unwilling to cooperate with me?"

Xiao Yujing narrowed his drunken eyes.

"I don't want to take this risk."

"Tsk." Xiao Yujing said disdainfully, "Coward."

He stumbled over and filled the glass, then drank it all in one gulp.

"Snapped!"

He threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground.

"Why can he make money, but I can't?!"

Xiao Yujing's eyes were filled with resentment.

"Him?" Wei Kangyuan asked in confusion.

"Yes! It's my elder brother!" Xiao Yujing said angrily.

"Just because he can make money, my father wants to hand over the family business to him. What's wrong with me?"

Wei Kangyuan understood it clearly.

It turned out that the brothers were fighting over the family property.

Then he could make a fortune from it.

"I can cooperate with you, but..."

"How much salt does Master Yun want?"

Wei Kangyuan stared at Xiao Yujing closely.

"I will take as many young masters as you have..."

Xiao Yujing's consciousness became a little fuzzy.

Wei Kangyuan sneered.

"Mr. Yun is so arrogant."

Xiao Yujing shook his head, trying to clear his mind.

"Then let's start with 500 stones..."

Wei Kangyuan was startled, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yujing changed.

Is this Mr. Yun really stupid or is he just drunk and talking nonsense?

Five hundred stones of salt.

When Yangping County was a vegetable market?

"With so much salt, how will Master Yun deal with it?"

Wei Kangyuan was very curious about what he needed so much salt for.

"Naturally... naturally..."

Xiao Yujing lay on the table.

"Mr. Yun? Mr. Yun?"

Xiao Yujing stopped talking.

The only response to Wei Kangyuan was the sound of shallow breathing.

Wei Kangyuan smiled contemptuously.

So what if it’s five hundred stones?

One million taels of silver only buy five hundred shi of salt.

What a prodigal son.

Outside the Wei Mansion.

Burch helped the unconscious Xiao Yujing into the carriage.

"Mr. Yun, are you okay?" Master Miao asked with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. My young master can't drink much and has caused trouble to Lord Wei." Burch said apologetically.

"No way, Mr. Yun, go back and have a good rest. The two of you can take care."

Burch said goodbye to Master Miao and drove the carriage towards the inn.

The carriage turned into the alley of Wei Mansion and the gate of Wei Mansion could no longer be seen.

In the darkness, Xiao Yujing slowly opened his eyes.

There was a coldness in his deep eyes, without even a trace of drunkenness.

Wei Kangyuan, I have been acting with you for such a long time.

Don't let me down...

Master Miao stood outside the door, watching the carriage go farther and farther away.

He turned and walked into the mansion and came to the reception room.

"Brother-in-law, how are you?"

Wei Kangyuan sneered.

"He's a fool."

Master Miao understood what he meant and felt relieved.

"However, he asked me for 500 dan of salt." Wei Kangyuan frowned.

Master Miao was shocked.

"so much?!"

"Brother-in-law, we still need to supply them, but we don't have that much goods to give them..."

Wei Kangyuan pondered.

He naturally knows what is more important.

This guy named Yun is just a one-time deal, so it is impossible for him to cut off the supply for him.

"Who said I had to give it all to him at once?"

"Brother-in-law means..."

"Our salt field is not opened just for Mr. Yun. Since he wants to be the scapegoat, why don't we help him?"

There was a sharp light in Wei Kangyuan's eyes.

Master Miao looked at Wei Kangyuan's confident expression and smiled meaningfully...

Early in the morning of the third day, Wei Kangyuan sent someone to invite Xiao Yujing.

"To the saltworks?"

Jiang Ruoli was very surprised.

We have penetrated into the enemy so quickly?

Xiao Yujing knew that she had misunderstood, and said, "Just go to the salt field to take a look, otherwise how can we feel at ease."

Jiang Ruoli understood.

The three of them came to the salt field in a carriage.

There are many checkpoints along the way, all heavily guarded.

Jiang Ruoli frowned.

This Wei Kangyuan is really very cautious.

After getting off the carriage, I saw Master Miao waiting there.

"Did you have a good rest, Young Master Yun?" Master Miao asked with a smile.

"It's okay." Xiao Yujing said politely.

After some greetings, Master Miao took the three of them for a walk around the outskirts of the salt field.

Master Miao introduced them as they walked.

Although it is morning now, the sun is already very hot.

Several officers and soldiers were enjoying the cool under a big tree nearby.

Hundreds of salt workers stood under the scorching sun to work, their lips chapped and their steps unsteady.

Working non-stop for many days has made them very tired.

Suddenly, an elderly salt worker fainted.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" A young man nearby hurried forward to check.

At this time, two soldiers under the tree came over.

"Get out of the way!"

A soldier kicked the young man down.

"You old thing, what bad luck!"

After saying that, the two men dragged the old man away.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!"

The young man kept crying.

A salt worker nearby helped him up and comforted him in a low voice.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yujing and his three companions frowned tightly.

Master Miao looked as if he was used to it.

"Master, what happened just now?" Burch asked.

Master Miao’s eyes rolled.

"Hey, you may not know that the monthly salary offered by our Yangping County Salt Field is notoriously high. People of all ages in this county are rushing to work in the salt field."

"Just take the old man just now. He didn't stay at home at his age and insisted on coming to dry salt. There was no way to stop him. He fainted."

"But our Lord Wei is kindhearted and will take extra care of sick people like this."

Jiang Ruoli looked at the old man who was being dragged away in the distance.

What they call "care" is to drag people away and pour a bucket of cold water on them to wake them up?

Jiang Ruoli watched the old man being woken up by the water, then he stood up tremblingly and continued walking towards the center of the salt field.

She was shaking with anger.

[This Wei Kangyuan is not worthy of being a human being! ]

Xiao Yujing felt the anger of the people around him.

He reached out and quietly grasped Jiang Ruoli's clenched fist at her side, rubbing it gently.

He looked at Jiang Ruoli and signaled with his eyes that she should not worry.

Jiang Ruoli gradually calmed down with Xiao Yujing's comfort.

A few people walked around the salt field and then left.

Outside the salt field, Master Miao looked at Xiao Yujing.

"Is Master Yun satisfied?"

Xiao Yujing smiled calmly, "Master Wei is so sincere, I am very satisfied."

Master Miao felt relieved when he saw that he did not seem to be lying.

"How much salt does Mr. Yun want?"

Master Miao asked Xiao Yujing tentatively.

"Since Lord Wei is sincere, I will not hide it."

"Yun wants five hundred stones."

Master Miao was silent.

It really takes five hundred stones.

Master Miao looked very hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yujing asked.

Master Miao hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Yun wants so much salt, we can't get it all at once..."

It turned out to be the case.

Xiao Yujing made an expression of understanding.

"Master Miao, don't worry. Yun can take away a portion of it first. After all, 500 dan is not a small amount. If you rashly take too much, it might arouse suspicion."

Seeing that Xiao Yujing was so easy to talk to, Master Miao felt relieved.

"So how much can Mr. Yun bring this time?" asked Master Miao.

"Yun's caravan can transport 200 shi."

Master Miao thought about it.

"Okay, then I'll give you 200 dan first, and you can come back to get the remaining 300 dan in half a month, how about that?"

A smile appeared in Xiao Yujing's eyes.

"make a deal."
