"Are the salt merchants hoarding new salt and not selling it to the people?"
"To answer your Majesty's question, yes!" Huo Guang said, "Although these salt merchants don't say so openly, when people go to buy salt, the salt merchants always sell it out.
Some salt dealers are quite conscientious, but they just sell less than before, and some simply don’t sell a pound! "
"Fuck my sister!" Liu Mo's face darkened, "Bring all these salt merchants you mentioned to me for questioning. I must pull out their skins!"
"Sir, you must not!" Huo Guang dissuaded, "There is no such provision in Daxia law. As long as these salt merchants hide the new salt and insist that they have no inventory, what crime is there?"
Yes, as a businessman, why am I guilty if I don’t want to do business?
"Where's the new salt stored in the yamen?" Liu Mo thought to himself, we also have some inventory ourselves.
"Already sold out!"
The Salt Transportation Department is not a merchant, and the amount of salt sold will definitely not be as large as that of salt merchants. Even on earth, the government is mainly about production and will not retail to the people!
"I!" Liu Mo was furious, "When was this first discovered? Why are you reporting it now!"
"Back to my lord, it was when you went to Jizhou at the earliest." Huo Guang said, "At that time, I had sent someone to deal with it. Later, your father-in-law was in the immortal world, so I didn't dare to disturb you. Later, it was the Zhongyuan Festival, sir. I want to be a poetry club judge.”
"What the hell!" Liu Mo really wanted to rush forward and slap him hard twice, "You have no sense of discretion in such a big matter, what is the importance?" Ambassador of the Salt Transportation Department, do you still want to do it? "
"My lord, please forgive me. Please let me finish my words!" Huo Guang kowtowed again.
"Okay, okay, okay, you say it!" Liu Mo held back his anger. "If you can't explain why, I'll fine you half a year's salary!"
"I obey, sir!" Huo Guang adjusted his breathing. "I was afraid of disturbing you, sir, so I didn't report it immediately. This was a dereliction of duty. However, I didn't suppress the matter."
"Oh?" Liu Mo took a deep breath. Sure enough, he is a top student. What he said seemed to be an admission of mistake, but in fact, he was angry at me for not knowing the truth! "Go on."
"It's your Excellency! During this period of time, the little secret investigation has revealed some clues about this matter." Huo Guang said, "The gangster behind the scenes recovered it at a high price of one hundred wen per catty..."
Huo Guang has some brains and knows to start from the source.
There is no harm without buying and selling. Only by catching the real culprit behind collecting salt at high prices can the matter be completely resolved.
"who is it?"
"Sir, please allow me to come forward and explain!"
I'm very careful, because I'm afraid the walls may have ears.
"That's right!" Liu Mo agreed immediately, and at the same time he shouted back all his men.
Huo Guang stepped forward cautiously, leaned into Liu Mo's ear, and said in a low voice: "Sir, I have found out that a batch of new salt will be secretly transported out of the city in three days!"
"Is the news reliable?"
"I'm willing to guarantee it with my life!" Huo Guang said with firm eyes.
"What time? Where are you leaving the city from?"
“When you are ugly, you take the waterway!”
"Well done! I have wronged you just now, and I am here to apologize to you!" Liu Mo patted him on the shoulder.
"Sir, please don't say that!" Huo Guang said repeatedly. "This is a small matter."
Liu Mo smiled and said, "Ask Mr. Zhao to come to the back hall. I will discuss this matter with him."
"As you command!"
After a while, Zhao Da came to the back hall of the county government office. Liu Mo dismissed all his men, then closed the door tightly and discussed countermeasures together.
~~~
After finishing his official duties, it was already evening when Liu Mo dragged his exhausted body back home.
Lin Shiqi prepared dinner and waited for him to come back.
As soon as it was served on the table, Liu Mo lowered his head and devoured it. On the one hand, he was indeed hungry, and on the other hand, Su Xiaowan was also present!
Although they are an unmarried couple, due to Daxia's etiquette, the two of them are inevitably a little embarrassed when they think about what happened last night.
Halfway through the meal, Lin Shiqi suddenly asked, "Why hasn't Mrs. Yuan'er come down yet?"
"Back to Madam, Madam Yuan'er said she was not feeling well and would not come down."
Hearing this, Lin Shiqi said with a complaining tone, "Husband, look at the good things you have done!"
Phew! Liu Mo almost spit out his rice.
Looking up, the expressions of the four wives were so inconsistent.
Su Xiaowan and Gong Xiaorou were involved, so they naturally knew what happened yesterday. Lin Shiqi probably also knew what she said.
"Nano, as your fiancé, is it okay if you touch your fiancée?"
"No, that other thing, you can't blame me! There is a saying that misfortune comes from the mouth, and the mandarin duck brings it upon himself!"
"Ah, it seems a bit too evil."
You have to...don't say anything and keep your head down.
Soon after, with his stomach full, Liu Mo quickly fled the scene!
Since I changed rooms the night before, I had to check out Gong Xiaorou's brand again tonight.
After nightfall, Liu Mo washed up early and entered the room. The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Gong Xiaorou took off her makeup and took care of her hair unhurriedly, and came to bed after a long time.
Before Liu Mo could speak, she rushed forward and grabbed Liu Mo's hands.
He has practiced martial arts, and Liu Mo's figure is obviously not strong enough from the front, "My good wife, what are you going to do?"
"Tell me, what did you do to sister Xiaowan last night?"
"I really just touched it a few times."
"What else?"
"Absolutely not!" Liu Mo's expression was so firm.
Hearing this, Gong Xiaorou slowly let go of her hand, "I'm sorry, husband, I'm also worried about sister Xiaowan." She explained, "Sister, her life experience is so pitiful, I am afraid that she will be laughed at by others. .”
"I understand, I understand!" Liu Mo sighed.
Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, Gong Xiaorou suddenly pressed on him again, "Hehe, I heard that my husband treated Yuan'er last night? Can't you get out of bed today?" She smiled nervously, "Husband, , are you really that powerful?"
Liu Mo couldn't help but take a breath, "What do you want to do with this expression?"
"Hehe, husband, I want to try it too!"
Good guy! Everyone has learned bad things!
But, my ultimate move has a CD...
This kind of thing cannot be said directly!
Liu Mo frowned and was speechless for a long time.
"What? Your husband doesn't like me? Or in your eyes, I'm not as good as a man?" Gong Xiaoju said, "You can risk your life in her room? But not in my room?"
Don’t even risk your life... this metaphor! How should I get around it!
"Hey!" Liu Mo sighed heavily on purpose, "That's not the case, I just have some annoying things that I haven't dealt with!"
"What's the matter?" Gong Xiaorou asked confused.
"The new salt matter." Liu Mo replied subconsciously, "Haha, don't worry, it will be completely resolved in three days."
"Three days later?" Gong Xiaorou became even more confused after hearing this.
"That's right, my husband will come back to make it up to you in three days!" Liu Mo smiled evilly.
"Hmph! I won't give it to you after tonight!" Gong Xiaorou pretended to be angry, turned over and fell asleep!
Wait three days to resolve the private matter, and then go back to Dian Lan. I’ll deal with you then!
