Chapter 242 The Salt Gang appears

Mr. Xing smiled and then said to Tong Xiangyu, "I'm not going to eat today. I need your help with something."

Tong Xiangyu was stunned. How could his own inn help the Shangfu Yamen?

Xing Captou looked around, and when he found that there was no outsider, he asked Xiao Liu to close the door, and then asked everyone to gather around the long table before explaining: "In the past few days, a group of salt dealers have appeared out of nowhere and are selling them in various markets in the capital.

Private salt.

This can be considered as poking a hornet's nest. The adults in the government office have issued a strict order that we must arrest the heads and solve the case quickly within a time limit, otherwise we will suffer the consequences."

Xing Qiao finished explaining the cause and effect of the matter in one breath.

"We are law-abiding citizens, but we have never bought illegal salt!"

Tong Xiangyu quickly put aside the relationship.

Mr. Xing shook his head and explained: "Shopkeeper Tong is not talking about this, but he wants you to cooperate with us in catching this dealer. These guys are so elusive that they won't show up at all unless someone familiar introduces them."

Tong Xiangyu was startled when she heard this. She already understood the meaning of Xing Baotou's words.

"This~~~"

Tong Xiangyu hesitated.

"We have decided on the candidate, now we just need shopkeeper Tong to agree."

Mr. Xing then spoke.

"Um?"

Tong Xiangyu was not calm now. Did anyone really buy illegal salt in his inn? And Mr. Xing and the others found out about it.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, Capt. Xing is just trying to scare you. There are many people in this capital who are illicit."

Zhang Chen said aloud.

"Hey, Xiaochen, you are causing trouble."

Xing Baotou snorted, pointed at Zhang Chen and complained with a smile.

Zhang Chen chuckled, and then took over the conversation and said: "It's such a simple thing. Isn't it just that the amount of illegal salt taken away has damaged the interests of some people? Otherwise, for those people in Shuntian Mansion, I don't have

How could it be possible to investigate the case so actively?"

Xing Baotou immediately waved his hand and persuaded Zhang Chen: "This cannot be said, we are just following the orders from above."

When Zhang Chen saw Mr. Xing waving his hands, he didn't know what to say, so he just continued and said: "Okay, okay, I won't say any more. Uncle Xing, just tell me who to ask for help. We will definitely help whoever we can."

Xing Baotou pointed at Dazui and said: "We just want Dazui to help guide the way, and we will handle the rest. Please rest assured that we can guarantee Dazui's safety."

Tong Xiangyu looked at Li Dazui in shock. She really didn't expect that she used private salt. He always thought that he used official salt.

Li Dazui quietly explained: "The shopkeeper is not that I want to buy private salt, but that the officials sent by the imperial court are too expensive and not cost-effective!"

After hearing this, Tong Xiangyu looked around and found that everyone's expressions did not change, indicating that everyone knew about this matter.

"It's not a big deal. Most people around here use private salt. Official salt is too expensive and no one can afford it."

Zhang Chenhao said nonchalantly, even though he was a member of the imperial court, he spoke out.

Xing Baotou and Yan Xiaoliu nodded quietly. Shuntian Mansion did not provide accommodation and food, and they both knew this very well these days.

However, as agents of Shuntian Prefecture, after they catch the illegal salt dealers, Shuntian Prefecture will distribute a certain share of salt. Otherwise, the two of them will buy illegal salt.

Tong Xiangyu lowered his head, not expecting that he was the only one who didn't know the truth.

"Shopkeeper, that was just before. Now the salt in our inn is directly supplied by the Hua Family.

And it’s the best sea salt, which is a good thing that ordinary people can’t get. If it hadn’t been for Xiaochen’s luck, we wouldn’t have been able to buy it if we had money.”

Li Dazui quickly explained, while Zhang Chen nodded wildly. Only he and Li Dazui knew about this matter. Of course, others who were not cooks would not pay attention to such trivial matters.

Tong Xiangyu felt better now. As a sister, she was still entitled to enjoy the things that her younger brother had the ability to obtain.

"Let's get back to the topic, Big Mouth, can you go for us?"

Seeing that the topic had strayed, Mr. Xing quickly brought it back.

"Can you really guarantee my safety?"

Dazui asked suspiciously. Since practicing the skills left by Zhuge Chef, Dazui's skills have improved a lot.

But after all, he had never fought before and didn't know his current strength, so he was still afraid that the Shuntian Mansion's agents wouldn't be able to protect him.

Xing Baotou nodded affirmatively. He knew that he had no strength. He turned to look at Zhang Chen and said, "Xiaochen will protect you secretly this time, so you can rest assured."

Zhang Chen spread his hands and said there was no problem.

Just as he was worried about Uncle Xing, this was not about catching those thieves in Qixia Town.

Those organized private salt dealers must have the support of the salt gang behind them, otherwise they would not suddenly be shipping large quantities of salt in the capital.

They are not comparable to thieves. You must know that selling illegal salt is a serious crime of beheading. Since they have taken this road, it means they are all ruthless people.

"Then I'll go with you. I promised you in advance that I'm just leading the way. I haven't bought salt from him for a long time, so I'm not sure they are still here."

When Li Dazui saw that Zhang Chen was secretly accompanying him, he agreed. However, Li Dazui repeatedly emphasized that he was only helping to guide the way, and whether he could find the person was beyond his control.

Xing Captou didn't care. Since he was able to find Li Dazui, it already meant that they had some definite clues.

"Let's go!"

Mr. Xing stood up and said.

"Ah? So sudden?"

Li Dazui said in shock.

"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. The adults above are pressing hard."

Mr.

"I'll take a walk with you, just so I can see the excitement."

Bai Zhantang suddenly spoke.

Xing Baotou was overjoyed. Bai Zhantang's strength was obvious to all, so his chances of winning were even greater.

Zhang Chen looked at Bai Zhantang without saying anything. His current behavior was very wrong. He used to hide whenever he could, but he was never so active.

In this way, Capt. Xing quietly left the inn with a few people, and successfully found their traces under the guidance of Li Dazui.

With Li Dazui's guidance, the police quickly discovered several suspicious people. They then stopped these people, searched their bodies, and found a lot of illegal salt.

It turned out that these people were private salt dealers in the city. Through these dealers, Mr. Xing and others finally found their home base in Beijing.

After an arduous battle, Capt. Xing and his agents captured all the illegal salt dealers.

"It's really thanks to you, otherwise the boat would have capsized in the gutter."

Xing Captou looked at the man who was knocked to the ground and said with emotion.

He and the other catchers underestimated the salt dealer's fighting power. If Zhang Chen and Bai Zhantang hadn't taken action secretly this time, I'm afraid things wouldn't have ended so smoothly.

Thanks for the support!
