Seeing this salt-rich land, Lu Bai remembered a rumor.
According to legend, when Meng Dahu first entered this industry, a group of people had the idea of privately selling salt.
But not long after they succeeded, all the members of the group were caught by the Jin Yiwei and sentenced to death.
From then on, it was rumored that Meng Dahu's backstage was Jin Yiwei.
Now Gu Qinghuan said that Jin Yiwei was going to take action against the Meng family.
Lu Bai followed what Gu Qinghuan said.
If this is true.
Either Jin Yiwei confiscated the illicit salt, or he was really the backstage of the Meng family and was planning to change his agent to sell illicit salt.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Bai felt that the latter was more likely.
Yancheng does not produce salt.
The salt was trafficked from a neighboring city.
The wilderness in this world is full of monsters, monsters, and ghosts. In order to escape these, people build cities and live there.
Trade between cities was also very difficult.
In this case, it is natural that these private salts want to be transported from other cities to Yancheng with the support of huge forces.
Guessing this, Lu Bai vaguely understood why the chief catcher asked him to accompany him as a guard.
He has been spotted and will become the next agent?
But why him?
Is the chief catcher repaying him for not reporting what he knew, so that the murder of the Liu family can be pinned on the water ghost?
Lu Bai didn't understand, so he simply stopped guessing.
They arrived at the door.
The leader of the guard checked the Lu Baiyan ticket and waved his hand to let his men pass.
Moving salt at night is common.
This is private salt after all.
Don't be too arrogant when selling smuggled salt, otherwise you will be caught.
Dahei Niu understands this very well.
After entering.
While his men were carrying the salt, Lu Bai glanced around.
He has been here before, and the security here is tighter than before.
Money moves people's hearts.
If the private salt in this large warehouse is really pushed to the official price, it is inevitable that some people will not make up their mind.
Lu Bai and the others left as soon as they moved.
On the way back.
The gang members talked about business happily and planned to seize other gangs' territory.
Most gangs now have no salt.
It is they who take over and turn other customers' customers into their own customers.
Lu Bai remembered Wang Changfa.
He used to be in charge of this stall.
"How is Lao Wang's injury now?" Lu Bai asked.
Since Lu Bai became the gang leader, Wang Changfa has been cold, violent, uncooperative, and looked at Lu Bai like a poisonous snake.
Lu Bai planned to take some time to knock him.
"He is dead." said the big black cow.
Lu Bai was startled.
"Your fucking beatings still have the effect of continuously losing blood?" He remembered that Wang Changfa's injuries were indestructible.
Da Hei Niu asked him not to wrong him.
Someone reported on Wang Changfa, saying that he had stabbed his brother in the back.
Lu Qinghuan followed the gang rules and stabbed him three times and six times.
I planned to tell him today, but I was delayed because of the salt stamp.
Lu Bai said directly that it was a pity.
He should be allowed to take action.
Wang Changfa should have a lot of merit.
After the private salt was shipped back, Lu Bai went back to rest.
Gu Qinghuan will deal with these.
The next day.
Under the big locust tree, they practiced their swordsmanship and called it a day. After dinner, Lu Bai and Da Heiniu prepared to go to the Yamen to order mao.
Gu Qinghuan called them to stop.
She asked Da Hei Niu to carry a box of silver and hand it over to the chief catcher after arriving at the Yamen.
"Tell him that when the private salt takes action, we will share the profit 28%." Gu Qinghuan said.
Lu Bai nodded.
The salt stamp was given by the chief catcher.
Usually, salt coupons are a huge cost. Although giving 80% to the general manager is high, it is appropriate.
Only when you get benefits can you continue to cooperate.
"We have set the price of salt at 50% of official salt. Please tell the brothers in the gang."
Gu Qinghuan lowered his head to braid Wanger's hair.
"Fifty percent?"
Lu Bai felt it was too low.
Now the price of private salt outside has reached 80% of official salt.
Some even sold for 90%.
"I guess Meng Dahu is dead. Do you know how he died?" Gu Qinghuan asked Wang'er not to move.
Lu Bai shook his head.
"He raised the price of private salt too high, and then Jin Yiwei became murderous."
Lu Bai didn't understand.
Could it be that he guessed wrongly that Jin Yiwei was not selling smuggled salt, but was confiscating smuggled salt?
Gu Qinghuan told him not to think about this.
The reasons are too complicated and the water involved is too deep.
She also guessed it from the two official documents about strict investigation of illegal salt and salt tax payment that Lu Bai came back from.
"Guessing from two official documents?" Lu Bai shook his head.
This is too much trouble.
The most important thing is to improve your strength.
With strength, you can protect yourself and your family, and make all calculations useless.
Talking about improving strength.
Da Hei Niu's current sword skills are barely considered beginners.
Of course, due to his natural supernatural power, Da Hei Niu's entry-level sword skills are a bit powerful.
But this is not enough.
Especially when Lu Bai met the Jin Yiwei Queen.
These people have skills in their hands and are by no means ordinary people. If there is a conflict in the future...
Lu Bai had a deep sense of crisis.
More combat power, more protection.
He decided to exchange for a foreign skill next, and he practiced with Da Hei Niu.
The experience of getting started with Black Tiger Boxing last time told him that he can actually improve his skills through practice, and the panel will automatically adjust the proficiency to the merit value.
Of course, Lu Bai was not prepared to put in a lot of effort into practicing.
At that time, the merits of plundering were so valuable.
However, it is still possible to take medicinal baths and use medicinal herbs to temper your body.
Soaking alone is also taking a dip.
Two people having fun…
Oh, yes, the big black cow is female.
"Heiniu, free your hands and continue investigating Brother Liao's case." Lu Bai warned her.
Water ghosts have been killing people so often recently that he has become numb to ghosts committing crimes.
And because of Bai Lang's incident, I almost forgot about this case.
I hope Brother Liao doesn't mind.
"Okay."
Big Black Bull agreed.
After exiting the alley and walking forward, there was a circle of people gathered in front of the Yamen, which was completely blocked.
"occur…"
Lu Bai said halfway, "Holy shit!"
All the words from his previous life came out, which shows his surprise.
The onlookers were all looking at the tree in front of the Yamen, which was full of fruits and hung with corpses.
When the autumn wind blows, the body sways.
There are twenty of them.
"The police are on the case, the police are on the case!" Lu Bai took three steps at a time and squeezed in.
Ruan Xiong and several others were maintaining order.
Seeing Lu Bai coming, Ruan Xiong came up to report, "Our case."
It's Lu Bai's case.
There is an offering sign affixed to the tree trunk.
Lu Bai couldn't be clearer about the facts of the confession. It was the confession of the levator boy and his gang to the murder case in Yizhuang.
The confession is signed: Batman.
"uncle!"
Lu Bai was confused.
This is definitely not his word.
besides…
Lu Bai looked up at the tree covered with corpses.
There are men and women, old and young, Meng Dahu and Mr. Meng whose index finger was cut off by Lu Bai are all hanging on it.
Grandma is a bear!
Lao Tzu’s meritorious deeds!
Wait, Meng family!
Could it be...
Lu Bai asked someone to put the body down and move it back to the Yamen.
Lao Gou and the others took action.
After putting the bodies down, Lu Bai looked at them one by one.
Each corpse was killed with a single blow.
Steady, accurate and ruthless.
A man's skull was ripped open by a knife, which shows how powerful it was.
The murderer is Lian Jiazi.
A young female corpse was laid down. She was still pregnant, disheveled, and had spots on her lower body.
There was also a little girl who was not spared.
brute!
Another corpse passed in front of Lu Bai.
The body had its neck smeared,
The knife edge is on the right side of the neck, the right side is deep and the left side is shallow.
The murderer was opposite the deceased when he committed the murder, which was a mirror image.
Therefore, the murderer is left-handed.
Lu Bai stood up, his face gloomy.
For sure.
What Jin Yiwei did yesterday was with his trumpet.
what is this?
To warn him, to intimidate him, or to do it unintentionally?
Grandma is a bear!
Lu Bai wrote down the name of the Jin Yiwei from yesterday and put it in his little book to be killed, waiting to harvest the merit points in the future.
