After leaving "Jun Moting", Liu Mo parted ways with He Ruda.
On the way back to "Jingshui Pavilion", Liu Mo was in a good mood.
On the one hand, his teammates are very reliable. On the other hand, he was about to meet his two daughters-in-law whom he had not seen for a long time, so he was naturally in a good mood.
Yuan'er waited at the door for a long time. After seeing them, she quickly stepped forward and hugged Lin Shiqi tightly.
Obviously, the love between sisters far exceeds that of husband Liu Mo!
Xin'er leaned against the door. She had been away from Rongcheng for three months. She was six months pregnant and her belly had already bulged significantly.
"Husband, how are you lately?" Xiner was the first to speak, her smile still so warm.
Liu Mo stepped forward and gently stroked his swollen belly, "I should be more concerned about you."
In four months, I, Liu Mo, will be a father.
This feels like a dream.
Wang Xiaoqi came out to greet them and asked the waiter to come and take care of the horses.
Entering "Jingshui Pavilion", Liu Mo immediately announced that an important meeting would be held in the evening.
Today is different from the past, when Liu Mo was only thinking about how to run the restaurant.
Now, when engaging in official salt channel business, there are too many things to consider.
At the meeting, Liu Mo announced that from now on, everyone who is related to Liu Mo will not be allowed to accept any gifts in private, and will not be allowed to contact anyone of unknown origin in private.
If you need to purchase anything, you can mention it to Lin Shiqi and purchase it together.
A simple description cannot give the enemy any chance to release sugar-coated bullets.
While on Earth, Liu Mo had seen too much similar information.
A good and upright official often falls into the hands of his relatives around him.
The only people he can and want to control are his three wives and Wang Xiaoqi, the people around him.
The other clerks have already made what they have to explain, and whether they insist on it or not is entirely up to them.
If anything goes wrong, he will be kicked away and Liu Mo can't be blamed for being cruel.
After the explanation, Liu Mo went back to his room to rest.
Next, there are too many things to do one by one.
The first and most crucial thing is to join the Salt Gang!
The next day, Liu Mo got up before dawn.
After a simple breakfast, he took Zhao Da with him and the two of them set off to the location of the Salt Gang.
It took about an hour to reach the destination.
The salt gang is close to the waterfront, surrounded by gray morning mist on the river.
Looking up, I saw a large door with a romantic and solemn temperament. The circular arched window and the stone masonry at the corner showed elegance and elegance.
As expected, it was the most profitable gang. Those who didn't know it thought it was the manor of a certain prince.
Walking forward, the guard at the gate blocked the way.
The two men were dressed in snow-white robes, symbolizing the whiteness of salt, but in Liu Mo's eyes, they looked like corpses wrapped in cloth. "Who is coming?"
"I am a salt merchant, and I am here to visit the leader of the Salt Gang!"
"You can meet the gang leader whenever you want?" the guard said in an extremely arrogant tone. "If you want to join the Salt Gang, go over there and pay the money first. It will be recorded in the record. When it's your turn, someone will notify you!"
Liu Mo frowned. Not only did the servant at the door have such a bad attitude, but he also had to pay first to be ranked?
Holding back his anger, "Brother, I hope it's convenient," Liu Mo said while taking out a letter from his sleeve. "This is a handwritten letter written by the new magistrate He Ruda, with his seal on it."
"What about the county magistrate? Even when the magistrate comes, he has to follow the rules!" the guard repeated slowly, as if he thought Liu Mo was an idiot and didn't understand what he just said.
Sure enough, just like the rumors, the Salt Gang today is so arrogant that a young guard of the Salt Gang actually doesn't take the government seriously. Such evil forces will one day overthrow you!
To be honest, if he wants to take action, this person is certainly not Zhao Da's opponent, but if he beats up the members of the Salt Gang when they meet, it will be difficult to get along next.
But then again, if the gatekeeper's subordinates succeeded like this, how could he still be a member of the Salt Gang? So he forced himself to smile.
"Brother, you should know Chen Zhiyuan, the previous county magistrate."
"Nonsense, boy, what do you want to say?" The guard's eyes were light gray, extremely dull and lifeless.
"Then you should know why he was stripped of his flower feathers." Zhao Da reminded him with a faint smile. "What you are seeing is none other than Liu Mo, Mr. Liu!"
The guards seemed to turn a deaf ear.
"Do you really want to know if the leader of the Salt Gang Palace would offend the prefect Jiang Lin for a gatekeeper?" Liu Mo said lightly, "Brother, can you please pass the message for me and give the letter to the person in charge?"
One of the doormen was unmoved. Just when Liu Mo couldn't bear it anymore and was about to be violent, another guard suddenly spoke up. "Mr. Liu, please wait a moment."
Although it was just a small victory, the fruit was still sweet, Liu Mo thought to himself. He has passed the first test.
Not long after, another Salt Gang guard came and said, "Mr. Liu, you can come in, but he can't!"
Liu Mo didn't want to worry about it, so he asked Zhao Da to stay and followed the visitor in.
Turn east, pass through an east-west hall, and then go to the south hall to reach the reception hall.
Pushing the door open, several people who were discussing something stopped one after another.
"It's you!"
"Fuck, it's you!!!"
Liu Mo and another "old acquaintance" said in unison.
That person was none other than Zhou Zhushan who had assassinated him!
Zhou Zhushan was also shocked. Half of his tone was disbelief, and the other half was extremely disgusted.
Damn it, there’s a narrow road between enemies!
Liu Mo stopped and quickly glanced around.
"What are you doing here?" Zhou Zhushan looked at him with sharp eyes, his face full of hatred.
"Join the Salt Gang." Liu Mo smiled, and then bowed to an old man in the hall who was about fifty years old. "You must be the old gang leader Gong. I, Liu Mo, have met the old gang leader Gong."
Gong Changyi: The leader of the Jiang Linfu Salt Gang, he is tall and has gained some weight due to his age, but he still looks handsome. His hair is sparse and there are some gray spots in his beard.
"Are you Mr. Liu?" Gong Changyi stroked his beard and smiled, "I have long admired your name."
Liu Mo walked straight up to Gong Changyi and handed over the letter in his hand.
Gong Changyi stretched out his hand, picked up the letter and examined it carefully. "Master He is so thoughtful that he even uses official sealing wax."
As he spoke, he removed the sealing wax and unfolded the letter.
Liu Mo watched Gong Changyi read the letter and glanced at Zhou Zhushan from the corner of his eye. The other person's face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth.
Little Zamao, although I don’t know how you escaped, but don’t fall into my hands. Otherwise, you will be cut into pieces this time!
Liu Mo secretly swore...
Zhou Zhushan must have the same idea as me and want to kill me.
"Haha, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Liu." Gong Changyi said after reading the letter, "Both of you want to join our salt gang, and you both have official approval for new salt. What a coincidence!"
What? Liu Mo was surprised!
Is there any new salt for this turtle egg? There is also an official approval document for new salt!
Good guy…
