As the woman's last scream rang out in the room.
Dugu Bingyu opened the door covered in blood, his face even more like an iceberg.
"Don't you know that when I am enjoying myself, no one is allowed to disturb me? You disappoint me so much!"
There was a chill in the voice, which frightened Dugu Yingyue's heart.
She hurriedly explained: "Aunt, this matter is urgent. If I don't inform you, it may have a great impact on the finances of our Dugu faction!"
Dugu Yingyue disappointed Dugu Bingyu one after another, which made her patience with him reach the extreme.
"Tell me about it. If you exaggerate, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Dugu Yingyue swallowed her saliva and said, "Aunt, according to the report from Huainan Xiong, the shopkeeper of Tianhuai Salt Company, twenty salt stores suddenly appeared in Xia Kingdom yesterday selling low-price salt!"
"Low price? How low?"
Dugu Bingyu frowned.
"five...."
Dugu Yingyue stretched out five fingers.
"What do you mean? Five taels of silver per dou? Is this a low price?"
"No, no, it's not five taels of silver per dou."
"what is that?"
"Five hundred coins per dou, if you are a poor person, you can even buy one liter or half a liter..."
"What!"
Dugu Bingyu couldn't sit still!
In addition to corruption, selling salt is Dugu Bingyu's biggest financial support. If the salt business is robbed.
Dugu Bingyu's finances will be greatly affected.
Although there are people behind each of the four major salt merchants, they have made an agreement long ago that the price must be unified.
When selling, it must be sold by the bucket at least, never by the liter!
No one can change the price of salt without notifying others.
Now, someone actually lowered the price to 500 Wen without notifying her, and still sold it at half a liter!
It seems that if she doesn't get angry, these guys won't take her seriously!
Dugu Bingyu pulled Dugu Yingyue up with a murderous look on his face: "Tell me the truth, was it Lin Guangling or the three princes?"
Looking at her murderous expression, Dugu Yingyue felt strong psychological pressure and replied tremblingly: "No, it's not them..."
"Who could it be if they weren't them? Currently, except for Longxi, the price of salt in other countries is at a high level! The only area in Xia that can produce salt is also under our control. Others who want to sell salt can only buy it. How can the high-priced salt from other countries be sold at a price as low as 500 cents per bucket?" Dugu Bingyu didn't believe it.
Dugu Yingyue also felt that what Dugu Bingyu said was reasonable: "Aunt, Huainan Xiong informed about this matter. Do you want to call him over and let him tell you in person?"
"Call him over here!"
Only then did Dugu Bingyu let go of Dugu Yingyue.
"Here!"
Dugu Yingyue ran away as if fleeing. Half a quarter of an hour later, Huainanxiong, who was fat and seemed to have a simple and honest face, came tremblingly in front of Dugu Bingyu.
"Don't pretend to be honest in front of your true self!" Dugu Bingyu said displeased.
"Here!"
Huainan Xiong's expression instantly changed from honest to treacherous.
"Why are you so sure that buying salt at a low price was not the work of Lin Guangling and others?"
"Back to Prime Minister, after learning about this incident, I went to investigate specifically. The person who did this was Rongsheng who previously purchased the royal private land." Huainanxiong replied.
"Where does he have the courage?"
Dugu Bingyu was shocked and angry!
Although Rongsheng was a relatively well-known businessman in Xia Capital, he was worse than a dog in front of them, and now he dared to directly oppose them!
"Aunt, could it be that bitch Tang Yang was helping him behind the scenes?" Dugu Yingyue said indignantly.
Dugu Bingyu glared at her: "Don't think about anything else but the emperor!
Where did he get so much salt to sell?
Currently, the only way he can get salt, besides buying it from us, is to buy it from other countries!
The border protection army has a large number of our spies. If a large amount of salt enters, we will know about it very early!
It is absolutely impossible for him to transport salt from other countries to various places in Xia Kingdom under our noses without anyone noticing! "
"Aunt, what if the salt was boiled after being promoted to the royal family's private land?" Dugu Yingyue asked in return.
"Use your brain, okay?"
Dugu Bingyu was completely disappointed with Dugu Yingyue: "The royal private land is not suitable for cooking salt at all. Otherwise, why did we spend so much effort to change the royal private land to that side?"
"The Empress Dowager, what the Prime Minister said is absolutely true." Huainanxiong was also speechless. He stepped forward and reminded: "We have tried making salt there before, but we found it too difficult and chose to give up."
"this....."
Although she still thought it was Tang Yang who did it, Dugu Yingyue couldn't find any reason to refute. What's more, Dugu Bingyu was disappointed in her again, which made her even more afraid to refute, but pretended to be modest. Asking for advice: "Aunt, since he is not the emperor, who will be the suspect? Please answer my aunt."
"You are the Queen Mother and you want to call yourself Aijia!" Dugu Bingyu scolded.
"The Ai family is confused, please ask the Prime Minister to answer!" Dugu Yingyue hurriedly changed her title.
"Everyone is disgusted at the moment and we need to investigate!"
Although Dugu Bingyu believed that Tang Yang could not have this ability, it could not be ruled out that Tang Yang was colluding with others to deal with her!
She needs to send someone to investigate to get the answer.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I'm afraid it will take some time to find out the results. If we let them continue selling like this, I'm afraid our business will be robbed by them!" Huai Nanxiong said anxiously.
Dugu Bingyu's eyes were cold and he dared to rob her of her business. How could she let him sell it?
"Huainan Xiong, find someone to destroy their store immediately!" Dugu Bingyu ordered.
"Prime Minister, if you send people from the army and the Yamen to do it, it seems to be more effective." Huai Nanxiong suggested.
"Idiot! If the Prime Minister does this, don't ordinary people know that the Prime Minister is the driving force behind the high price of salt? Then the people's hearts will turn towards Tang Yang!" Dugu Yingyue scolded: "Besides, what do you do to raise you? If you can’t handle this matter well, you won’t be the shopkeeper of the Tianhuai Salt Company anymore!”
Huai Nanxiong's expression changed, and he said hurriedly: "I will definitely do a good job in this matter!"
"roll!"
"Here!"
As Huainanxiong left, Dugu Bingyu showed a rare expression of approval: "You have thought very carefully this time, but you cannot rely on Huainanxiong alone for this matter!"
After saying that, she ordered her men to capture Rong Sheng and bring him to her no matter what means they used. At the same time, she paid close attention to every move of other salt merchants!
Tomorrow night at most, she will know who is helping Rong Sheng behind the scenes!
