"Suddenly a person came out as a corrupt official and said that he was here to investigate the case. Anyone would pay attention, and you did not disappoint us." Gan Qingjiu's ability to achieve this position as a brother means that He won't be an easy guy.

"Then Brother Gan, did you agree to plan to escape Liangzhou together?" Tang Shi'an was not [-]% sure that Gan Qingjiu would agree, but he had to try hard.

"Since you said that we can't stay in Liangzhou, then of course we have to leave Liangzhou City." Gan Qingjiu just wanted to get something from Tang Shi'an, "It's easy for us to help you, report to Liangzhou When it comes to matters, hide what we did."

Like the high-ranking officials in the capital, they sell private salt, but one is for money, and the other is for the people in the northwest. The law is merciless. If they really report it to the imperial court, they will not have a way to survive, even if the number is not enough. They beheaded, and ultimately exiled.

"I didn't intend to expose you at first. You are indeed thinking about the people in the northwest. It's just that if you report this matter to the court, someone will come to investigate thoroughly. You should stop doing this business in the future."

"Don't do it? You have to know how many people in the Northwest will be unable to live because of this official salt." Salt is a necessary thing for life, and it is impossible to say that you don't buy it.

"I've seen the price of official salt in Northwest China. It's more expensive than that in Jiangnan. It will come down to where it should be, don't worry about it."

Buying private salt is also a crime for many ordinary people. If it is not really hard to live, how can anyone be willing to take risks?The Ministry of Households controls these things, and naturally there will be a way to force them to buy private salt.

Gan Qingjiu's eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"

"Well, of course it is true. If the salt dealers here are cleaned up, but the income of the official salt has not been increased, the higher authorities will naturally notice your existence, so it is better not to do these things in the future, or I will count If you hide it, it will be found out sooner or later."

Gan Qingjiu helped him, and he needed to repay the favor out of reason. Although they had a sense of loyalty, they didn't understand what these officials were thinking.

"Then after you're done, take the person away from me, and we'll open that gambling house with peace of mind." Gan Qingjiu also expressed his opinion after getting Tang Shi'an's guarantee.

After all, no one wants to live such a life of fear all the time, and they haven't earned any extra money, so it's good for them to be able to settle down.

"I'll give you the title deed of the gambling house after the case is settled." As an important stronghold, the gambling house will naturally be taken into the hands of the government. If they want to continue to operate in that gambling house, they need the title deed.

"Then thank Master Tang first." Gan Qingjiu cupped his fists.

The theft of the magistrate's mansion was still a terrible thing, and everyone in Liangzhou became insecure overnight. Tang Shi'an and Gan Qingjiu discussed about escaping and returned to the post.

Two days later was the originally planned return time, but Wang Zhifu sealed off Liangzhou City on the second day, and he didn't seem to be planning to let him go. Fortunately, Ah Si and Ah Wu had left for most of the night. According to their skills, they would not be easily caught up, and Wang Zhifu probably thought that the thief was in Liangzhou City.

"Master Tang, what does Mr. Wang mean? Why do you want to come in and be detained here?" Liu Yi came to Tang Shi'an's room to ask. They logically said that they had completed the task assigned by Li Shangshu, and what did Wang Zhifu mean by this? .

"Master Wang's mansion was stolen, so he should investigate it thoroughly, but he can't block Liangzhou City for too long. After waiting for a few days, Lord Wang will release it if he doesn't search it." Tang Shi'an is now waiting for the magistrate Wang's mansion. When will you come to your door.

Except for him, the officials on this trip were all carefully selected by Li Shangshu. Naturally, they were all Li Shangshu's people, and the life and death of these people was out of his consideration.

In addition to the theft in his own mansion, the prefect Wang also received reports from his subordinate officials one after another that their mansion had also been stolen, and it was all about private salt.If he couldn't react, the prefect of Liangzhou would have been in vain for so long.

He took the soldiers in Liangzhou directly to the station, and when the soldiers surrounded the station, he took people in.

"Lord Wang, what does this mean?" Tang Shi'an, as the leader of the group, asked spontaneously.

"Boss Tang, you also know that my mansion was stolen. I searched the entire Liangzhou city but couldn't find it, and I haven't searched for this station yet. Please ask Tang Boss to let me search the place before I can rest assured." Wang Zhifu did not specify , everything stays on the line.

"Since Mr. Wang wants to search, he is free to search, but as long as Mr. Wang informs us, we will not stop him, but he surrounded the station with his subordinates, I am afraid that we are not taken seriously." Liu Yi naturally did not Will suffer this hidden loss, with the backing of Li Shangshu, he will dare to be presumptuous.

However, it can be seen from here that Liu Yi didn't know that Wang Zhifu was also a member of Li Shangshu, so it was worth watching, dog eats dog.

"I just brought the soldiers because I was afraid that the adults here would not be willing. After I finished the search, I would take them away. I think my fourth-rank official position can still make the adults listen to you." Wang Zhifu was unwilling to talk to them Talk about it, and let the person who brought it into the station directly.

"Search carefully, don't let go of any place, and don't let go of anyone else." Wang Zhifu knew that it was a dead end, but it was too late or not. Let's see if the person sent this time is really there. This means too.

Except for the token, there is nothing left around Tang Shi'an. Of course, if you search, you can't find it, but Ah Si and Ah Wu who are following him have seen everyone at the post station, and they are not around now. It's hard to doubt.

"My lord, no." The searched soldier reported back, although Wang Zhifu knew that this might be the case, his heart sank.

"Master Tang, I don't know where the other two attendants who were with you before are now?" Wang Zhifu naturally focused on Tang Shi'an, and when he asked again, it was not as gentle as before.

"Naturally, I was dispatched for something. Why is the Prefect Wang thoroughly investigating where my entourage is going?" Tang Shi'an asked Gan Qingjiu to pay more attention to the post station recently, and as soon as he saw Prefect Wang coming, he would carry out their plan.

"Master Tang originally planned to return today, but so far the entourage has not finished his work and returned. I don't know what is so important that we can't even return to the capital in time?"

"Will Mr. Wang be too lenient?" Liu Yi naturally thought that Tang Shi'an had sent Ah Si and Ah Wu to help Li Shangshu, and of course he didn't want Wang Zhifu to ask.

"I don't know if it's lenient or not. I just ask Mr. Tang to come with me. When your two subordinates come back, I will let you go." Wang Zhifu's eyes were fierce. This is a fatal matter, and there is no escape Only by taking a hostage here can he feel more at ease.

Tang Shi'an didn't say anything, just took a token from his pocket and threw it at Wang Zhifu's feet, "I came here this time to do business for Li Shangshu, and I have to return to Beijing as soon as possible. Wang Zhifu still weighs whether he can afford it or not." This responsibility, let’s talk about whether you want to keep me.”

Tang Shi'an was just delaying time, the only person he could use now was Mu Zhu.It will take some time for the people from Gansake to come.

Prefect Wang picked up the token from the ground, checked it carefully, and found that it was indeed a token for contact, "It's a very important matter, and it's better for Mr. Tang to keep it. If Li Shangshu blames me, I will take it personally."

Tang Shi'an knew that even a token could not dispel the prefect Wang's suspicion, but then there was the sound of weapons being handed over outside the post station, and the sweet wine came just in time.

"What's going on outside?" Wang Zhifu was obviously alarmed by the movement outside.

At this time, Mu Zhu also drew his sword and pointed it at Wang Zhifu, "You better not move, otherwise the sword will hurt you, so don't blame me."

Tang Shi'an also walked to Wang Zhifu's side, "Wang Zhifu, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid I will refuse your invitation again."

"You are indeed a spy." Prefect Wang pointed at Tang Shi'an tremblingly with a sword on his neck.

Tang Shi'an didn't talk nonsense with him, "Mu Zhu go."

The officials who were originally at the station were also frightened by this change, Tang Shi'an had already left the station before they had time to make a sound.

Tang Shi'an and Mu Zhu left with the people sent by Gan Qingjiu, and Wang Zhifu was in their hands, so these people dare not approach for the time being.

When they reached the corner, Mu Zhu let Wang Zhifu go, and then they rode on the fast horse prepared by Gan Qingjiu and headed straight out of the city.The soldiers at the gate of the city have been dealt with by Gan Qingjiu, and now they can go out of the city without hindrance.

A group of people rode horses to a wilderness outside the city before reuniting with Gan Qingjiu, "Master Tang came sooner than expected."

"Thank you, Brother Gan, for your help. Now is not the time to talk, so let's part here. Please, Brother Gan, take care of those hostages and protect yourself and your brothers." Tang Shi'an saluted Gan Qingjiu as thanks.

"I'll be careful myself. Mr. Tang also pays attention to safety all the way. Sake is here waiting for Mr. Tang's good news." Gan Qingjiu has also arranged a place to go, and they will not show up until Liangzhou comes again.

"Farewell." Tang Shi'an and Mu Zhu didn't delay any longer, got on their horses, and rushed to the capital.

Kyoto.

"Accordingly, Tang Shi'an is about to return to Beijing, so we should arrange someone to wait there." Mu Nanjiu reminded Li Shangshu.

"Of course, Bai Ranxing is too busy to take care of himself now, so don't worry too much about sending people there." Speaking of Bai Ranxing, Li Shangshu chuckled.

"Bai Ranxing doesn't have time, but it doesn't mean his father and uncle don't. The Criminal Department is also watching us." Mu Nanjiu didn't relax his vigilance.

"Then you haven't received any news from inside the Bai family. Bai Ranxing's romantic debt has caused the Bai family to be in a mess now. The Bai family can't spare time to estimate us now." Thinking of the current panic in the Bai family's house, Li Shangshu It's just that she never thought that someone like Bai Ranxing would do such a thing.

Mu Nanjiu also sneered, the Bai family looked down on him so much, if he did such a thing, what face would he have to say about him?
