The scumbag son-in-law dressed as a husband

Only then did Yu Chuxi speak, with a calm expression on his face: "Actually, it's nothing. Today, Mr. Gu, the Yushi of Yanzheng, summoned our merchants as a routine..."

Salt government censor?

At this moment, Xie Shu also remembered that the father of Mr. Gu Yuanke Gu who held the West Garden Poetry Meeting last time was Gu Zhong, the censor of Yanzheng.

Salt, like iron, was an extremely important resource in ancient times and has always been under the control of the state.

Unlike strategic resources such as iron, salt is still a must-have for every household. Since salt is mainly produced in coastal areas, coupled with the underdevelopment of transportation and commerce in ancient times, salt has become a scarce commodity.

But salt is a profitable business. In order to monopolize the huge profits, the government stipulated that the common people could only buy official salt at the beginning. The system of system and official collection.

Even so, there are still many people who want to be salt merchants, especially in Jiangnan Province, which has been a famous capital of Huaizuo since ancient times, and it is close to great rivers, so it is very cheap. Once it becomes a salt merchant designated by the government, the benefits will be great. One can imagine.

Because of this, the Yanzheng Yushi has become a fat job that everyone wants, and now this job has been in Gu Zhong's hands for ten years.

But if it was really a routine inspection as usual, Mr. Lang would not show such an expression.

Xie Shu felt that it was not simple, so he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lang, don't hide it from me. If you don't tell me these things, who will you tell? Or does Mr. Lang think that I can't solve your problems?"

How could Yu Chuxi think so!He hurriedly shook his head to look at Xie Shu, only to see the man's expression was as gentle as before, he naturally realized that Xie Shu was provoking him on purpose.

Yu Chuxi couldn't help but glared at him, and then sighed helplessly: "That's right, the one who summoned us today was not Mr. Gu, but another person who had never seen him before. Although he looked like a man, he described his behavior Somewhat feminine, like someone from the capital... Afterwards he inspected various salt merchants, but for some reason he saw everyone else, except the person I sent, I planned to go to the Gu Mansion in person I asked, but there was no news."

When Yu Chuxi said this, he showed a little troubled look. The Yu family has always done their best in the government affairs these years. They have never paid taxes on time and have never done anything to deceive others.But if you really have something to say, it's fine, I don't know if it's beating or something else, it's the most annoying.

Xie Shu's heart sank when he heard the words, Mr. Lang meant that this person was a 'eunuch' from the palace?

But why did the eunuch suddenly come to Jinling to meet the salt merchant?Could it be that something happened?Does Mr. Gu, who is in charge of Jiangnan's salt administration affairs, really not know?

This person met other people, but did not see Mr. Lang, why is this?

Hearing Yu Chuxi's sigh, Xie Shu felt a little sour in his heart.

Xie Shu also wanted to solve all these problems for Mr. Lang, but he didn't know anything about salt administration affairs, and he didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't come up with a good idea. No wonder others said that a scholar who is useless is the reason up.

After finishing these words, Yu Chuxi also poured out the troubles in his heart. He no longer had the sad look on his face, but smiled easily: "Forget it, he just arrived in Jinling today, and he probably doesn't have enough time. Just go to see him again, in fact, there is nothing to think about, these years, my Yu family has always been cautious in doing things, and I can't correct any mistakes."

Xie Shu looked at the bright smile on Lang Jun's face again, but his heart became more and more heavy.

If this person intends to target the Yu family, even if he can't make mistakes, there is a privilege in ancient times. This privilege is called, there is no reason to inflict any crime.

He knew that Lang Jun might not be ignorant of this truth, but in order to make him feel at ease, Lang Jun never showed any emotion.

At this time, how could Xie Shu be willing to expose all this? He stared at Mr. Lang, and after a while he said softly, "That's fine. He came from the palace suddenly. He must be on business for the emperor. He just arrived in Jinling today. Someone will take care of him, sir, you can send someone to find out where they are now, maybe you can get some news.

However, a person like him has always had a weird temperament. If he still refuses to see Lang Jun tomorrow, Lang Jun will tell me.I had some friendship with Mr. Gu's young master at the poetry meeting before, he is not bad, I will try to find him.You don't have to worry about me, sir. Now that I am accepted as a disciple by the teacher, others will always treat me a little bit badly. "

Hearing what Xie Shu said, Yu Chuxi nodded slightly. He originally wanted to say something else, but he couldn't say it now.

This other person doesn't know, he still doesn't know who Xie Shu is on good terms with?Although he did become famous at the poetry meeting, he also remembered his reminder before not to get close to the Gu family.

After the poetry meeting, the Gu family did send someone to invite Xie Shu once, but Xie Shu declined like everyone else.No matter how good-tempered that Young Master Gu is, he may not be free from grudges.

As for Xie Shu, although he is accepted as a disciple by Jiang Hong, what would it be like to run around for him under Jiang Hong's name?

But Yu Chuxi didn't say anything after all.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and after a while, couldn't help but smile.

Under such circumstances, it seems so precious.

At this time, in the restaurant in Jinling City, the lake is beautiful in the distance, and the singing and dancing are not stopping nearby. Liu Qiang is drinking, listening to the opera singers, and the people accompanying him are all famous in Jinling City. Name of the salt merchant.

Liu Qiang is about thirty years old, with a white face and beardless, with a thin appearance and a "rule" in his behavior. He is the eunuch of the Seventh Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for the food, clothing and various items in the palace. This time, Liu Qiang was ordered by the chief eunuch to take care of all the affairs of the Jiangnan Province for the emperor.

Running an errand like this is a lucrative job, and Liu Qiang spent a lot of effort to win it. He had begged the third prince in private, so he naturally wanted to reciprocate.

Before leaving the capital, the third prince told him to do one thing, of course Liu Qiang did not forget it.

It's just that Liu Qiang was a little curious, why the third prince asked him to do this, no matter how rich the Yu family was in Jinling, they were just merchants, and even if the third prince wanted money, he didn't need to spend so much time.

But this has nothing to do with Liu Qiang, he just needs to follow suit and return the invitation.

Not long after, Liu Qiang became drunk and didn't want to stay any longer. The people next to him couldn't see this, and hurriedly asked people to take out the gold and silver they had just prepared. Every salt merchant took out a box, not gold. Silver beads and jade are rare treasures, Liu Qiang accepted them one by one with a smile, and then left the restaurant.

Seeing Liu Qiang leave with satisfaction, several salt merchants breathed a sigh of relief: "This Eunuch Liu seems to be a talkative person. Just now you heard that Eunuch Liu revealed some meaning. In a few months, the Holy Majesty really wants to South tour?"

"It's still fake? It's just that we're going to bleed a lot this time. How can there be such a thing? The emperor wants to build a palace, not the government building, but us to donate money!"

"Why, are you still willing? Think about it, the Yu family has no way to ask for this opportunity! You didn't realize that Eunuch Liu didn't pay attention to the people who came from the Yu family. There are many, but the head of the house is a pair of children, so what if the methods are powerful?"

"You mean, Mr. Liu is using the Yu family to beat us up and tell us to donate money honestly? Or is it that the government intends to ban the Yu family..."

"Who knows, anyway, this time the Yu family is in trouble, but how could Eunuch Liu have a gap with the Yu family when he was far away in the capital? Could it be some other reason?"

"In the past few days, I've heard that Xie Shu, who joined Yu's family before, is in the limelight and paid homage to a man from Beijing. I wonder if this matter has something to do with him?"

At night, neither of them intended to go to sleep, so Xie Shu and Lang Jun played chess in the room. At first they were a little absent-minded, but probably these days have formed a habit. At this time, the more Familiar things are more reassuring.

Gradually, when the mind relaxed, Xie Shu found that the sleepiness on Lang Jun's face was very obvious, but he was still holding on to his spirit, but the person sent to inquire about the news had not returned for a long time.

Xie Shu looked at Lang Jun, and couldn't bear to see him like this, so he said softly, "Mr. Lang, go to bed first. I'll call you when there is news."

However, Yu Chuxi showed a reluctant expression and tried to open his eyes a little wider.

Xie Shu couldn't help showing a little smile, he sighed softly and said: "Mr. Lang, you will make me worry about you."

Hearing Xie Shu's words, Yu Chuxi could only shake his head, wanting to refute.

At this time, Xie Shu suddenly said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, are you afraid that I won't call you when I leave, so would you like to lie on my lap?"

At this moment, Yu Chuxi's drowsiness subsided a lot. He almost thought that he had heard wrongly. At this time, the figure was dim and the lights were dim, but it couldn't compare to the gentleness of the eyes of the person in front of him.

Yu Chuxi let out a low "um", and then slowly moved over. The chessboard had been moved away, and this couch was just big enough for Yu Chuxi to lie on alone, so Yu Chuxi rested his head on Xie Shu's. On the lap, it didn't look like he was going to sleep, but looked at him with bright eyes.

Xie Shu lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand gently, and gently touched the top of his hair.
