The slave of the Guo Mansion brought the salt jar back to the mansion and delivered it to Guo Tang immediately.

"It's really rare!" Guo Tang was amazed.

He asked again: "Can I ask about the origin?"

Guo Nu shook his head, "That traveling merchant is extremely arrogant, selling at 60 taels per catty, and there are many servants of wealthy gentry outside the door, so it's hard for me to ask."

Presumably I will not tell if I ask.

Guo Tang narrowed his eyes, "60 taels...it's a huge profit."

"Isn't that right, young master, this snow salt is indeed a rare item, why don't you go and ask for clarification?"

Guo Tang dipped out the salt crystals with his fingers, rubbed them slowly with his fingertips, and smiled after a while: "Dasheng Salt and Iron Official Camp, this man is very bold, he dared to sell private salt, which shows his arrogance."

Guo Nu knew the elegant meaning when he heard the string song, and immediately said: "Young master, I will take someone to arrest and bring him to justice!"

Soon, the traveling merchant was secretly taken away by the people of Guo Mansion, and he was sent to the dungeon of Guo Mansion together with his salt jar.

Guo Tang entered the prison cell wearing white boots, saw the traveling merchant tied to the rack, and said, "You know that selling private salt is a felony!"

The wandering merchant cried out, "My lord has learned! The villain is not selling smuggled salt!"

Dasheng law stipulates that one can only be convicted of a crime if he sells raw salt without permission.

One introduction of salt is two hundred catties of salt.

The government generally turns a blind eye to the private transactions of the private sector and does not care.

Traveling merchants only have [-] catties to sell in total, which is far from meeting the standard of incrimination.

Guo Tang sneered: "Who knows if you have any accomplices? If you commit crimes in batches, you may have surpassed one lead. Selling private salt is a capital crime of ransacking your family and exterminating your family! If you confess clearly, your life may be saved!"

The traveling merchant shouted in horror: "I say! I say!"

He recalled the instructions of the person behind him, and said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube:

"A person came to me. He said that the method of making snow salt was difficult, and he didn't have any more raw salt on hand, so he could only provide me with fifty catties a month.

"Seeing that I have a wide range of opportunities, and that I might be able to catch up with private salt dealers, he said that he would cooperate with me to sell snow salt, and everyone will share the profits and make money.

"My lord, I, I was obsessed with money for a while, and I didn't see a lot of money, so I agreed to cooperate with him and make some money first. I really didn't sell private salt!"

The traveling merchant was sweating profusely, feeling extremely terrified.

At first the man told him that he would be imprisoned, but he didn't believe it, after all, the amount of salt he sold was insignificant.

Now that he was in the dark torture room, he was so frightened that he peed his pants once, and vowed in his heart that he would never do this again.

Guo Tang believed his words.

The snow salt is crystal clear and white, it is really an extraordinary product, and it must not be produced overnight.The man in front of him was vulgar and ignorant, he didn't look like a salt maker at all.

Thinking of the huge profits behind Xueyan, Guo Tang couldn't help but be moved.

That's more profitable than selling private salt!

Those rich gentry who bought snow salt with money, did not value the snow salt that weighed two catties, but the people who made the salt behind the snow salt.

The huge profits of Splashing Sky are in front of your eyes, and everyone's heart will beat wildly.

Guo Tang is naturally unavoidable, not to mention, he has a natural advantage.

Gyeongju produces sea salt, and his father is the magistrate, so it is easy to produce raw salt continuously.

He pondered for a while, then whispered: "If you can help me find the person behind it, I will let you live."

The traveling merchant nodded repeatedly.

He was blindfolded and secretly brought back to the Hongfu Inn. According to Guo Tang's instructions, he contacted the person who had provided the snow salt before.

Guo Tang sent someone to secretly monitor.

The traveling merchant explained to him: "The little one can't contact him proactively. He said that when the snow salt on hand of the little one is sold out, he will naturally come to see me."

When Guo Tang heard this, he asked him to sell salt as usual, and asked someone to check if there was any suspicious person in the inn.

However, after the traveling merchant sold the salt, it took a whole day and night, but they didn't see a single suspicious figure.

So I waited another day and night.

Just when Guo Tang was getting impatient, news came from the inn that a traveling businessman woke up in the morning and found an extra note on the table.

Nothing was written on the note, just a cross.

Guo Tang suddenly felt cold.

The other party can see clearly in the dark, but I can't even touch a clue, which is too frightening.

Who wrote the note, who posted it, and when it was posted, none of his people knew.

Guo Nu asked cautiously, "My lord, do you want to continue the investigation?"

Guo Tang clutched the note tightly, and said bitterly: "If you hide like this, you must have a ghost in your heart!"

He must find out this person!

But not long after, another peddler brought out snow salt to sell.

Obviously, the people behind it have given up on the line of traveling merchants.

Guo Tang failed repeatedly, causing people to make trouble under his nose. He was so angry that he continued to send someone to secretly monitor another hawker.

The result remains the same.

Guo Tang was furious, he was the son of the magistrate, how could there be someone in Qingzhou who he couldn't even catch!

The servant beside him advised at the right time: "My lord, the other party is acting sneaky and dare not confront you, presumably because he is afraid of your identity. But if we continue like this, we will not be able to find a way to make salt, so why not express our sincerity to cooperate with the other party?" .You are the magistrate, if the other party does not want to continue to act secretly, he will definitely be willing to form an alliance with you."

Guo Tang understood this truth, but he just couldn't get angry.

"My lord, calm down. After we cooperate, we can grab each other by the tail. Then we can do whatever we want."

Guo Tang glanced at him and nodded, "I will leave this matter to you."

Under the high pressure of Mr. Guo's anger, the efficiency of the servants of Guo's mansion rose sharply, and it didn't take long for them to talk to each other.

Although it is just exchanging messages with notes.

The other party said: "If Mr. Guo wants to cooperate, he must show sincerity."

Guo Tang replied: "What sincerity?"

"Provide five hundred catties of raw salt, and after the snow salt is produced, the account will be split fifty-fifty."

"When and where will the delivery be?"

"you decide."

Guo Tang was unwilling to find anything out.

I'll make it, I'll catch you when the time comes, and see what you have to say!

Now that the matter has come to an end, Mr. Guo used the prefect's relationship to ask someone to draw [-] catties of private salt from the salt field and put it in a small courtyard under his name.

When you're done, contact the other party again.

The other party promised: "At noon tomorrow, send someone to pick it up."

Guo Tang was satisfied, he could finally catch the person behind him!

The night before the operation, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. He kept thinking about tomorrow's arrest. He barely fell asleep until early morning, and didn't wake up until almost noon.

After washing up in a hurry, he didn't even bother to eat, so he led people to the Tibetan salt courtyard!

In order to prevent too many people in the market, he deliberately chose this small courtyard in the suburbs.There are few people here, so it doesn't matter if there is a big commotion.

He hid not far away, waiting for someone to come to the door.

Everything is under control.

At noon, a disheveled man in sackcloth slowly appeared outside the small courtyard.

The guards looked at each other, stepped forward a few steps and said, "How about getting salt?"

The man: "I want to see the salt."

The guard was very excited and confirmed that it was him!

Just as they started, the man shouted: "I made an appointment with Guo Tang to fetch salt, why did you tie me up! Guo Tang! Guo Tang!"

Guo Tang in the dark: That's it?

Is this the mysterious salt maker?Why do you think something is wrong?

Before he could figure it out, suddenly, a carriage came from around the corner. The carriage was guarded by soldiers.

Those soldiers were all wearing the standard clothes of the vassal prince's soldiers, majestic, solemn and solemn.

A string snapped in Guo Tang's mind. He wanted the person who took the salt to shut up, but the car from Prince Qing's Mansion had already arrived in front of the courtyard and stopped.

Obviously, they have seen the farce.

Everyone was dumbfounded and guilty.

I hope Prince Qing's Mansion won't take care of this matter!

Backfired.

The curtain of the car was lifted from the inside, revealing Prince Qing's elegant figure.

He asked in a deep voice, "What's the noise?"

Guo Tang didn't have time to think about why King Qing appeared here, he just wanted to hide it as soon as possible.

However, the salt picker shouted: "My lord, please be the master of Xiaomin! Xiaomin is just visiting to do business, and I don't want the owner of this house to kidnap Xiaomin!"

King Qing: "Who are you? Who do you do business with? What business do you do?"

Asking people three times makes people stupid.

King Qing showed impatience, "If you don't express your feelings, that's an unwarranted nuisance."

The government soldiers reprimanded at the right time: "Don't evade quietly!"

Guo Tang felt at ease, it seemed that King Qing was too lazy to take care of these trivial matters.

Unexpectedly, the salt collector suddenly knelt down and shouted: "My lord! Xiaomin made an appointment with Mr. Guo to fetch salt, but Mr. Guo turned his back on his promise and wanted to tear up the contract!"

King Qing: "Salt?"

He was silent for a while, then suddenly asked sharply: "How dare you sell private salt?!"

"Come here, arrest them immediately and search this courtyard!"

All the government soldiers listened to the order.

Guo Tang realized almost instantly that this was a trap!He fell for it!

He wanted to take advantage of the chaos to return to the mansion, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Prince Qing's soldiers staring at him a few feet away.

It's over, it's over, it's bad!

Guo Tang's eyes darkened.

During King Qing's trip this time, more than a dozen private salt dealers were arrested and [-] catties of private salt were seized.

As a member of the Dasheng royal family, seeing the evil behavior of private salt dealers with his own eyes, King Qing decided to punish him severely, and planned to send a memorial to the capital to reach heaven.

When Guo Zhifu heard the news, everyone was dumbfounded.

There are all witnesses and material evidence, and there is no possibility of overturning the case.

But as long as there is no case, there is no need to reverse the case.

Guo Zhifu hurried to King Qing's mansion and handed over a letter of worship to see King Qing.

At that time, King Qing was enjoying the praise from his son, and said with a smile, "Did you perform well today?"

Lou Yu made tea for him himself, with a sincere expression on his face: "Father, you are like a descendant of the gods today, not only good, but really outstanding!"

"However, you have to perform another play today. As long as this play is done well, we will no longer be bullied by the magistrate, and we will no longer have to worry about the court's eyes and ears!"

King Qing has been aggrieved for many years, and now that victory is imminent, of course he will not hold back.

With a face full of relief, he patted Lou Yu's shoulder, "Yu'er, you have really grown up, and our family will rely on you in the future. We don't expect anything else, as long as we are safe and wealthy."

Lou Yu thought to himself: In a few years, the whole Dasheng will be a mess, how can there be peace and prosperity?

He didn't intend to say too much, so he said, "Father, the prefect of Guo is still waiting for you."

King Qing has been under surveillance by the court for many years, so he naturally harbors resentment towards the prefect Guo. When he thinks of Guo Lian, the old thief crying and begging himself, he ignites a strong will to fight.

Guo Lian, wait!

The author has something to say:

Guo Tang: My father is the magistrate, he is just private salt, don't be afraid!

Yu Zai: I want to order a song "The Turned Serf Sings"!
