Chapter 35
Hong Tianxiao stood in the corridor on the second floor and looked down. He saw that there was a big banquet in the courtyard. More than a dozen big salt merchants were sitting at three tables, and a woman was sitting next to each of them. His complexion changed drastically, and Qi asked: "What's the matter?" "Who is it?" "Is the government here to investigate the case?" Should I open the door.
At this moment, only a "bang" was heard, and the door was knocked open, and seventeen or eighteen big men poured in.
These big men are in short attire, with white cloth covering their heads, blue belts around their waists, and holding shining steel knives or iron rulers and iron rods in their hands.When all the salt merchants saw it, they recognized him as a salt lord who smuggled salt.At that time, the salt tax was very heavy. If you evaded the salt tax and sold private salt, you could make a lot of money.The area around Yangzhou is where Huaiyan salt in the north of the Yangtze River is distributed. A group of desperadoes evade taxes and sell salt. These salt lords are extremely fierce. When you draw out your weapon, you will fight against each other. Therefore, the government often opens its eyes and closes it without intervening.All the salt merchants knew that the salt lords had always been selling private salt, and had never robbed merchants or done other evil things. They usually bought and sold private salt with the common people, and they were fair and honest, and they did not bully others. It's all panic and surprise.
An old man in his fifties among the salt lords said: "My friends, I apologize for disturbing Moguai." He clasped his fists from left to right, and then from right to left, and said in a loud voice: "The surname of Tiandihui Jia's friend. Jia Lao Liu, brother Jia, are you here?" He said, looking at the faces of all the salt merchants one by one.
When all the salt merchants met his eyes, they all looked terrified and shook their heads repeatedly, but they were calm in their hearts: "The gangs in the Jianghu will seek revenge from the downtowns of their respective places, and they have nothing to do with others."
The old salt owl raised his voice and shouted: "Jia Laoliu, this afternoon, you are talking nonsense in the tavern next to the Slender West Lake, saying that the salt smugglers in Yangzhou have no kind, and they dare not kill officials to rebel, but only smuggle and sell salt. Do some small business without courage. You drank yellow soup, yelled loudly, and said that if the salt smugglers in Yangzhou refuse to accept it, they can come to Mingyufang Lichun Courtyard to find you. Aren’t we here? Jia Sixth child, since you are a good guy from the Tiandihui, why have you become a coward again?"
