Since that day, the evidence of the Emperor Chen Shangshu's mistakes has been conclusive.Many ministers are traveling in the mountains and rivers, very happy.

But Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue knew that buying and selling private salt would never be so simple.

Besides, the two have more important things to do.

That's what Fang Shengde promised to pick up the salt in ten days.

"Yan Jue, you said that Chen Jian was arrested, will Fang Shengde wait for us at the risk?"

Shen Pingjin was bored looking at the scenery not far away.

Yan Jue pulled Shen Pingjin into his arms, and smiled slightly: "Fang Shengde may not take the risk, but someone will."

Shen Pingjin frowned: "What does this mean?"

"Do you still remember Xiao Mang and Mian Mian that day?"

Shen Pingjin suddenly understood, "You mean, you want to find Fang Shengde through them?"

Yan Jue shook his head.

Under Shen Pingjin's increasingly suspicious eyes, Yan Jue finally explained:
"Fang Shengde is from Chen Jian's side, but he is even more from Su Xuanmao's side. He should have inquired about the news of the emperor going to Jiangnan, but he still has some luck in his heart."

Shen Pingjin is not a fool, so he naturally understood what Yan Jue meant.

"You mean, Fang Shengde might run away after we go? Because Su Xuanmao will protect him, and Su Xuanmao knows about the fifty catties of private salt, and wants to make a fortune from it?"

"Because Chen Jian fell, all the black money belongs to Su Xuanmao alone."

A flash of light flashed in Shen Pingjin's head, and he suddenly remembered something.

"At the time when Chen Jian was arrested, he knew Su Xuanmao, but why didn't he identify Su Xuanmao? Perhaps it was because Chen Jian didn't know that the person who cooperated with him was the present prince!"

"Su Xuanmao originally thought that this matter could be concealed for a little longer. He didn't expect that Emperor Anqing would find out about Chen Jian's sale of private salt so quickly, so in order to get away, he gave all of Chen Jian's handle to the emperor. Just say you did your own research!"

"Chen Jian doesn't know anything, and has been kept in the dark!"

"It's no wonder the evidence was found so quickly, and Chen Jian hasn't identified Su Xuanmao yet!"

Yan Jue looked at Shen Pingjin's increasingly shocked expression, and smiled helplessly: "Smart."

After getting Yan Jue's affirmation, Shen Pingjin knew that what she said was definitely right.

"Then, we have to go to the ten-day appointment, so that we can lure Su Xuanmao out of this matter, and we can do it without anyone noticing!"

Yan Jue nodded: "Yes, you think exactly the same as me, let's go, let's meet that Fang Shengde together."

"it is good!"

Shen Pingjin's eyes became firmer, and he said why Su Xuanmao in his previous life said he couldn't help him. It turned out that his hand was too long in this matter.

But... Shen Pingjin looked at the man next to him in a daze. Was it really Su Xuanmao who did all of this? Was it really not his handwriting?
"what happened to you?"

Yan Jue frowned, he had already noticed that Shen Pingjin had been staring at him in a daze, and was puzzled.

Shen Pingjin shook his head: "Nothing, let's go."

It was not far from the inn to the distillery by horse-drawn carriage, and the two disguised themselves and arrived at the distillery in a short while.

Fang Shengde stood in front of the distillery with a worried expression on his face. There were many salt bags beside him, and he could tell at a glance that they were for Shen Pingjin and Yan Jue.

Seeing the two people getting off the carriage walking towards him, Fang Shengde's gloomy expression softened a little, "Both of you, you are finally here."

"Boss, you're welcome. Our inn is quite far away, and it took a long time. We waited for a long time." Yan Jue raised his hand to compose, his tone polite.

Fang Shengde laughed loudly and said: "It's all right, I'm not such a small-minded person, but I don't know Mr. Xi, your money..."

Yan Jue raised his hand and said, "Boss, please don't worry, I have brought all the money and money, but I have to inspect the goods before the money and goods are settled."

This is the rule of the Tao, Fang Shengde naturally understands it.

The businessman from the southwest was cautious, but when Fang Shengde thought that he had sold these things at a high price, his unhappiness dissipated in an instant.

"Master Xi, don't worry, there is not a single bag of salt missing!"

"Okay, but everything has to wait for inspection."

Yan Jue glanced at Shen Pingjin, "Ma'am, didn't you want to go to Gong's room just now, you should go in quickly."

Shen Pingjin immediately understood what Yan Jue meant, and looked at Fang Shengde not far away.

"Boss Fang, where is your Gong Fang here?"

Although the woman in front of her was dressed up in disguise, her face was still so clean and refined.

Fang Shengde choked for breath, but quickly came back to his senses, and replied: "Mrs. Xi, go to the first yard, turn left, and you will find Gong Fang."

Shen Pingjin raised his hand to compose: "Thank you, Boss Fang."

"No thanks, no thanks, this is what I should do."

Yan Jue watched Shen Pingjin walk into the courtyard, counting down in his heart——

Three, two, one.

Fang Shengde was about to speak to Yan Jue when a scream sounded in his ear.

"Help, where did the lunatic come from? Husband, I, I'm so scared!"

Fang Shengde swallowed all his words, and Yan Jue ran in quickly when he heard his wife screaming.

Fang Shengde frowned slightly, but followed closely behind Yan Jue, wanting to see what happened in the yard.

Xiao Mang was pinching Cotton's neck with resentment on his face, he was in a panic, and roared angrily:

"You bitch, let you show off your power, today I will do justice for the sky and kill you!"

"Save, die, girl, girl, help me."

Mian Mian grabbed Shen Pingjin's skirt with all her strength as she walked into the yard, her face pale as paper.

When Mianmian heard Shen Pingjin's next scream, she knew that she might be saved.

Shen Pingjin was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he held Yan Jue's sleeves tightly with both hands. After feeling the man's pleasant smell blowing towards his face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, don't forget to whisper: "It's them."

With the warm and soft jade in his arms, Yan Jue's heart throbbed, but there was an indifferent expression on his face.

"Who are you and why are you scaring my wife?"

Cotton was so strangled that she couldn't speak, and her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, which was a sign of suffocation.

But the strength of strangling her neck was slowly shrinking.

When Xiao Mang saw Shen Pingjin, the tyranny in his eyes obviously dissipated a little.

This is what I saw that day... that girl who is as beautiful as a fairy?
Do you scare her like this?

Seeing her pale and bloodless face, Xiao Mang was about to let go, but suddenly felt something driving towards his back.

"Pfft-"
