"Mrs. Wang is really righteous to betray her husband in order to repay her kindness." Fang Lan sat on one side, looking at Cui's expression, her tone was light.
Mrs. Cui frowned slightly and lowered her voice, "I know you are suspicious... Of course there is a reason for this."
"You don't have to worry about this." Fang Xu spoke quietly, looking sideways at Fang Lan, and said softly, "Sister, don't worry too much, Sister Cui is a trustworthy person."
Fang Lan stared at the thin woman opposite and remained silent.
Mrs. Cui lowered her long eyelashes, sighed softly, and slowly spoke out her heart, "I took action today not only to repay the favor, but also to help myself."
"Help you?" Sein Fei looked confused. Naturally, he didn't understand women's hearts, "What's your business here?"
Mrs. Cui bit her lower lip and whispered, "Wang Yong burned his own son. Naturally, I hate him. Every time I see his face, it makes me sick to the extreme!"
"As long as I can make him irreversible, I am willing to try any method!" Ms. Cui looked calm and said slowly, "During the time I was separated from my benefactor, I never had a solid sleep. I was thinking about how to take revenge every day. .”
Fang Xu glanced sideways, staring at the account books beside him, and whispered, "How did you get these account books?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Cui raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Wang Yong is very thoughtful. I knew I couldn't trick him out, so I started from his confidants."
"A dozen lives are in his hands. No matter how unwilling his men are, they have to do things for me."
Fang Xu raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Cui with a look of surprise.
Fang Lan and Song Fei were also stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Seeing how Cui is so soft and weak, but her methods are so tough, the contrast is really quite big.
Mrs. Cui's face remained unchanged and she whispered, "Wang Yong is a businessman and is good at calculations. I originally wanted to dig out some evidence that he had made false accounts and tricked him, but who could have imagined... His ambition is so... big!"
"Wang Yong has both bright and dark accounts in his hands. The bright account was presented to the court, and the dark account colluded with others, and..." Mrs. Cui raised her eyes to look at Fang Xu, her tone was calm, "Wang Yong was following Prince Zhan before!"
Fang Lan's hand holding the tea cup paused, and his consciousness fell into a trance for a moment.
She hadn't heard these three words in a long time.
Xunfang stood behind Fang Lan, noticing her stiffness, his eyes flashed.
"War King?" Fang Xu became interested, raised his hand to take the account book, and flipped through it casually, "So, Yu Chiwei picked up the War King's leak?"
"Then what are you waiting for?" Sein Fei slapped the table and stood up, raising his voice, "Now the evidence is conclusive, I will report to the emperor now and arrest these two people!"
"Wait!" Fang Lan stopped him with a helpless expression, "Let's not talk about Wei Chiwei, just talk about Wang Yong. You can directly sue him to Yangxin Hall. If he resists to death and refuses to obey, he will accuse you of slander. What should you do?"
Sein Fei was displeased and whispered, "The account book is the irrefutable proof. Why does he have the face to throw dirty water on me?"
"The account books alone really can't explain anything." Fang Xu closed the book and said in a calm tone, "The accounts can be copied and the private seals can be forged. If he refuses to admit it, even the emperor can't do anything to him."
Song Fei was stunned, with a solemn look on his face, "Then...then the in-laws...just let them get away with it?"
"Don't worry, I have a way." Fang Xu handed the account book to Su Zi's hand, moved his eyes to Cui, and said softly, "Go back with the account book and put it back where it was without anyone noticing. Now is not the best time for it to debut.”
"Put it back where it was?" Ms. Cui was stunned for a moment and murmured, "My benefactor..."
"You believe me." Fang Xu stared at her, his eyes blazing, reassuring for no reason, "As long as I am here, I will ensure that you and Brother Sheng leave the Wang family safely."
Ms. Cui was speechless, her heart was touched, and she nodded heavily.
Three days later, fun started again in Dongcheng. People gathered around and talked about something.
“Why is the price of salt so expensive again? It’s not letting people live anymore!”
"Damn it, last year it was fifty cents per catty, why is it only sixty cents this year!"
“Salt is a must-have for every household, but at such an exorbitant price, where does that leave ordinary people like us?”
The salt shop clerk opened his eyes impatiently and cursed, "Go, go, don't hang around here if you don't want to buy! It's going to be winter soon, and salt is only at this price. Either buy private salt, or wait to eat carrion." Damn it!"
The common people all turned red with anger, but there was nothing they could do.
Who dares to buy private salt these days? That is a serious crime that can cause your head to fall off!
"The mouth is beautiful, the cheap one is beautiful in the mouth, take a look!"
A male voice came from behind, attracting a lot of attention.
The man was fully armed, with only a pair of eyes exposed, and he shouted vigorously, "New seasoning, cheap and convenient!"
The common people looked at me and I looked at you, and they all walked towards the man in unison.
"Brother, what is the seasoning in your mouth?"
"Yes, what is a beautiful mouth?"
"What does beauty taste like in this mouth?"
When the man saw more and more people gathered around him, he smiled, took out a porcelain jar, opened it in front of everyone, revealing the white salt like fine sand inside, "Open your eyes!"
When the people saw this, their eyes widened.
It's salt! And it’s fine salt!
How dare he sell private salt in public!
Many people's legs were so frightened that they quickly broke away from the crowd and ran home.
Some people had the courage to step forward and ask the price in a low voice, "Brother, this mouth-watering beauty...how much does it cost per pound?"
The man slowly stretched out three fingers and whispered, "One pound, thirty coins."
As soon as these words came out, the man who originally wanted to escape could no longer move forward and stood still, his eyes shining as he looked at the porcelain jar.
The man crossed his arms, his expression unclear, and said solemnly, "I have a lot of beauty in my mouth, I can have as much as I want!"
As soon as these words came out, all the people were not calm.
With so many people around, the officials wouldn't notice if I bought some secretly.
"Give me five pounds!"
"Give it to me first, I want ten pounds!"
"Get me two cans quickly!"
There was quite a commotion at this end, which caused the salt shop clerk to stand on tiptoe and look around, looking for a suitable position, and finally he could see clearly what was in the porcelain jar.
The salt shop clerk was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to come to his senses and rush out to look for someone.
The man glanced at him from the corner of his eye, slightly hooked up the corner of his mouth, lowered his head indifferently, and continued to show off the beauty in his mouth.
"Lang Jianshi is here!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd dispersed instantly.
"Who dares to sell illegal salt in public!" Lang Jianshi shouted angrily and led a group of officers and soldiers into the street, followed by the salt shop clerk.
Seeing this, the man stepped onto the stall, jumped up, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.
"Hey! Why did you let him run away!" The salt shop boy slapped his thigh angrily and said loudly, "Lang Supervisor of the City, this person has no laws and is lawless. If we don't find him out and allow him to disrupt the market, we will... It’s a big deal!”
Lang Jianshi looked unhappy, strode to the stall, and picked up the porcelain jar that had been knocked over on the table.
Looking at the white sand in the jar, Lang Jianshi picked up a small sip and put it into his mouth, licking it with his tongue, and his expression suddenly changed.
This salt... actually tastes exactly like the official salt I eat at home!
