Li Shan glanced at him, and said coldly: "You are Huang Dahong? Very good, I have received a report that your Huang family ship is suspected of smuggling salt and iron. Everyone, kneel down and hug your heads, and follow me back to investigate. If there is resistance, shoot and kill!"
Huang Dahong's complexion suddenly changed when he heard the words: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Mr. Li, is there any misunderstanding? Our Huang family has always been law-abiding, and we are still in the escort business. We never smuggle salt or iron. It is said that the second master of the Huang family is still the commander of the city guards in the county. How could it be possible to smuggle salt and iron?"
The implication is that we have connections and backers, and they are also very big.
You are just a small county captain, you should think carefully before moving us.
"Ha ha....."
When Li Shan heard this, a sneer of disdain appeared on the corner of his mouth.
City guard commander?
Isn't it just a fifth grade?
My family is still a five-rank thousand household in the Zhenfu Division!
"Stop talking nonsense, come on, take it away for me. There are still those people, don't let one go."
"Wait a minute, my lord! You said we smuggled salt and iron. What evidence do you have? If there is no evidence, people will be arrested randomly. Believe it or not, the grassroots will directly sue the state government."
Huang Dahong shouted injustice.
"evidence?"
Li Shan sneered coldly. While talking, he got off his horse and looked at Huang Dahong. He sneered and said, "Yesterday you allowed your subordinates to fight with others, and finally beat him to death. The murderer's name is Zhang Gou. He is your confidant. He followed you." For more than ten years, I thought it was just an ordinary homicide, but after enjoying the one-stop service of wearing embroidered shoes and playing the pipa in the prison, this person finally revealed your smuggling of salt and iron in order to survive and make meritorious service. .”
While speaking, he pulled out the long knife in his hand with a swipe, and slashed at the black stone slab next to him without saying a word.
when!
This knife is fast and ruthless, even a wall can be split.
But when it landed on the stone slab, the simple knife unexpectedly snapped and broke.
When everyone looked up, they saw that the stone slab shattered directly, exposing the dark things inside.
iron plate!
This turned out to be a poured iron plate!
The outside is wrapped with black stone slabs, and the inside is hidden with iron plates.
Several porters who had entered from the distance suddenly cursed!
"Ms. Gan Lin! It's actually an iron plate. I said why is it so heavy!"
"That is, I have carried countless black rock slabs, and the biggest one is not so heavy."
"Damn it, you have evil intentions! No, add more money! You have to add more money!"
......
Seeing this, Huang Dahong's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat, his eyes rolled wildly, and his face was full of panic.
He confidently thought that Zhang Gou would not betray him, but he didn't expect to tell the truth not long after entering.
Sure enough, when you come out to hang out, the first thing to do is to betray your brother...
No!
You must not be taken away, and you will not be far from death if you enter the prison!
Huang Dahong's eyes turned wildly, and he immediately thought of a countermeasure!
"Want to catch me, dream!"
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly erupted with true energy all over his body, stepped on his feet, and the whole person rushed out like a cheetah, rushing directly towards Wujiang.
He was going to jump into the Wujiang River and then escape.
Seeing this, Li Shan snorted coldly, stepped on his feet, and walked quickly.
However, it was still a step too late.
Without looking back, Huang Dahong threw out a handful of silver light.
"hidden weapon!"
Li Shan's face was startled, and he waved half of the simple knife, only to hear a chaotic sound.
Although he shot down all the hidden weapons, it also affected his own speed.
Pfft!
Huang Dahong fell directly into the river, and with a stab, he disappeared like a fish.
"hateful!"
Li Shan was furious, and was about to arrest him with great difficulty, but unexpectedly he escaped.
"Don't worry, you can't run away."
At this moment, a leisurely voice came to his ears. Li Shan was overjoyed when he heard the words. Before he could turn around, he saw a ghostly figure passing by and instantly fell into the Wujiang River.
Huang Dahong was relieved at first, and was about to take advantage of the water to escape, but unexpectedly, there was a figure standing in front of him.
Standing in the middle of the river like a water ghost, about ten meters away in front of him, he was looking at him with his arms around his shoulders and a sneer on his face.
Huang Dahong's face was startled, as if he saw a ghost, and he was about to turn around as soon as he turned around.
However, the next moment, he saw Su Ying approaching him in an instant like a swordfish. With a flick of his finger, a golden finger force pierced through the dantian Qi sea in his abdomen like an arrow.
Then grabbed his shoulder with one hand and rushed out of the water!
Whoa!
There seemed to be a light rain falling on the surface of the Wujiang River. Li Shan raised his eyes and saw Su Ying coming with Huang Dahong who had just escaped.
The feet landed on the surface of the water one after another, splashing water waves one by one, like a spider treading water, extremely elegant.
boom!
Huang Dahong was directly thrown onto the shore by Su Ying, and there was a thumb-sized blood throbbing in his abdomen, and his whole body was wet, like a dead dog that had just been salvaged.
"Thank you, my lord. If my lord hadn't come in time, this guy would have run away."
Looking at Huang Dahong, Li Shan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and cupped his hands at Su Ying.
"It's okay, just grab it."
Su Ying waved his hand, and during the circulation of his true energy, all the moisture in his body was dried.
"Take all the members of the Huang family back to the prison for interrogation. From now on, the Wujiang Ferry will never be opened without the approval of the official."
"Li Xianwei, take someone to count the stolen goods."
"Yes, my lord!"
Li Shan bowed his hand, and then led people into the big boat and warehouse of Huang's family to start counting.
"My lord, this is high-quality refined iron, a good material for making weapons, and it has been tempered for the first time."
Li Qiushuang picked up an iron plate, looked carefully at it, and said to Su Ying: "This kind of iron can only be produced in the south of Luoxia Mountain where the barbarians are located. Although it is not enough to make a broken gangbow, the weapons made are better than ordinary ones." few."
"Oh? Produced by barbarians?"
When Su Ying heard the words, his heart moved immediately. After looking at it, it was indeed somewhat different from the iron ore produced locally.
The local iron ore is black with yellow, but the iron plate in front of me is dark and shiny.
"It seems that the Huang family and Yaoman are colluding too!"
Su Ying smiled coldly.
When Li Qiushuang heard this, her beautiful eyes shrank.
She knew that if Su Ying usually showed this kind of look, it wouldn't be a solution for 10 taels...
Chapter 58
When everyone left, a fat middle-aged man with a mustache and brocade robe walked over with a gloomy expression.
"Third Master, what should we do now? Zhang Gou has been recruited from the prison, and now the others and Huang Dahong have been arrested again. Maybe they will all be recruited from the prison."
One of his subordinates said with a worried face.
People were taken away, and now the pier is also closed.
In this way, every passing day is a huge loss.
"Damn! Damn!"
Huang Sanye's face was extremely gloomy, looking at the backs of those arresters who were about to leave, his eyes spewed fire, and he almost gritted his teeth: "A mere seventh-rank county magistrate dares to touch our Huang family's things! It's so embarrassing! It should be killed!"
After saying that, he slapped down the iron wood next to him and shattered it into pieces.
"Third Master, what should we do now? Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, if it reaches the county, we can..."
He didn't say any more, but the implication was self-evident.
If their smuggling of salt and iron spread to the county, not only would the Huang family not be able to protect them, they would even be implicated.
Salt and iron have always been prohibited items. As long as someone is found smuggling salt and iron, no matter the severity, it is almost a capital offense.
Because this is a major lifeline related to court taxation.
And because Yaoman is located in different regions, salt and iron have long been listed as key cargoes.
Although the human race and the Yaoman have a deep hatred, it does not prevent the two from doing business.
Daxia has the salt, tea, grain, elixir, various silk, porcelain, jade, etc. they need.
And the barbarian Da Rong has the war horses that the Great Xia needs, various iron ore fine gold...
Even the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom in the Western Regions often sends people to communicate with Daxia.
Of course, it must be in a specific town on the border...
Therefore, salt, in particular, has almost become one of Daxia's bargaining chips to restrain Yaoman.
"The Shi family can find someone, why can't we? Go, contact Kang Cuba, and say that I am willing to offer ten Sanjiao Yuzhen pills, plus 1 taels of gold for him to sell."
Huang Sanye pondered for a while, his face was ferocious, and his eyes were full of murderous intent: "Besides, go to Maitreya Sect and Huajian Sect to find some desperadoes from the rivers and lakes, and join hands with Kang Cuba, and kill them directly. he!"
"Yes!"
