Every time Song Wuya opened his mouth, Master Niu and Yu Chun had nothing to say.
He had just finished speaking when the Niu master suddenly raised his hand to cover his forehead, shook his head, and showed a look of pain.
"Oh, why do you have such a headache all of a sudden!" Master Niu wanted to get up as he said that, "It seems that the old man's health is really deteriorating, and I'm afraid he won't be able to last much longer."
Seeing him like this, Song Wuya couldn't help but find it funny.This guy wanted to pretend to be sick to avoid Song Wuya's aggressive questioning.
"Okay, Master Niu. You don't need to pretend to be sick in front of this official!" Song Wuya snorted coldly: "I have already said when I came here that we will not talk about official business today. What you said just now is just an ordinary chat That's all. Since you are so scared, shouldn't I leave this place quickly? To avoid being plotted by Master Niu tonight?"
Originally Song Wuya's words were just difficult for Master Niu to deal with, but now that he said these words, Master Niu's face suddenly showed horror, obviously he was frightened enough.
He didn't care about pretending to be sick, so he hurriedly explained: "Lord Song, don't get me wrong. This old man has always done his duty, and he will never have the idea of harming the imperial envoy! If you have any accident in Nantou County, then Wouldn't my eldest son-in-law be unlucky?"
"Master Niu, you're not old and foolish." How could Song Wuya not know what they were thinking in their hearts, I'm afraid that Master Niu had already prepared for such thoughts from the very beginning.At this time, Song Wuya was also very worried about this point. If he didn't clarify what he said today, he might really have to explain it here.
"Before this official, there were many imperial envoys who came here to investigate, but they didn't get anything." Song Wuya said it all for this sake, naturally he wanted to protect his own life. "Although this official has some advantages, but since it was like this before, I'm afraid that I may not be able to find out anything. I don't want to waste all this effort with you, so you might as well make it clear now."
"My lord, please tell me." Yu Chun felt that there was a turning point when he heard this, and immediately put on an attitude of listening attentively.
Song Wuya looked at the two of them left and right, and said, "I have only one purpose, and I don't want to make myself as incompetent as those imperial envoys before. Similarly, I don't want to cause trouble for myself. The water here has How deep it is, I am still clear in my heart. But you have to be clear about one thing, this world is not your world, even if the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, it is still the world of the Holy One!"

"My lord Song is absolutely right, I have absolutely no second thoughts towards the emperor!" Yu Chun was frightened into a cold sweat by Song Wuya's words.
Master Niu on the side was not much better, even though he was sitting there, his expression was not calm.
"Whether you have two minds or not, I have nothing to do with this official." Song Wuya gave Yu Chun a cold look and said, "Don't treat me as a fool. What did you do here and how did you do it?" , this official is very clear. Therefore, you don’t need to hide with this official. This official also knows very well what it means to move the whole body by pulling one hair. This thread of yours is not only worn by you. Little grasshopper. This small grasshopper is easy to catch, but this big one may not be easy to catch too."
"My lord Song, please make it clear that I really don't know what you mean, my lord." Yu Chun still pretended to be confused in front of Song Wuya.
Hearing his question, Song Wuya felt angry.
"Magistrate Yu! It seems that you didn't listen to what I just said!" Song Wuya took a deep breath and sighed heavily. "Do you know why His Majesty sent imperial envoys to visit this place several times?"
"This... I don't know!" Yu Chun knew clearly, but he didn't dare to speak nonsense.
After all, there is Master Niu in front of him, so as long as Master Niu doesn't speak, he can't talk nonsense.
"Does the imperial court have money? What does it depend on? It depends on the taxes paid by various places every year. Wherever the investigation is focused on, it must be because the Holy One feels that he has paid less taxes. On this point, the county magistrate also agrees." Don't you know?" Song Wuya said here, and threw the question to Yu Chun again.
But Yu Chun still shook his head at this time.
This made Song Wuya very speechless, almost unable to speak.Helpless, he could only turn his head and look at Master Niu who was beside him.
"Master Niu, you must be a smart person, otherwise this matter would not be so big." Song Wuya looked at Master Niu and smiled slightly, and Master Niu was immediately shocked. "Since you don't understand, then I'll make it simpler and clearer. The reason for checking you is because you earn too much, and most of you eat up the share of the Holy One! You think that spending some money In the future, if the imperial envoys get this done, will the matter be over? If this is the case, then why do the imperial envoys come here one after another?"
From the questioning just now, it became a preaching at the moment.Master Niu could naturally hear the change in Song Wuya's tone, and now that Song Wuya mentioned it, he could only nod along.
"Master Song said that we are the ones who are greedy." What else can Master Niu do, he already has a judgment in his heart, but as for how to judge, he can only use words to seduce him.
As the saying goes, if you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't catch the tiger's cubs. This master Niu has learned to be smart now.
"That's right! Master Niu is a smart man, and I'm not a person who likes to stick to the horns. If you talk about it, everything will be easy." Song Wuya smiled. "The purpose of this official's coming here is very simple, to investigate illegal salt. It is true that private salt is in your hands, but there are many people who rely on private salt for a living. This official is not stupid enough, because this matter The matter involved his own life. But the emperor doesn't think so. What is his purpose for doing this? Isn't it for money? Presumably this official statement has reached this point. Master Niu and County Magistrate Yu should know that next year's tax should be paid How much did you pay?"
"I got it, I got it!" Song Wuya made it clear, and they responded immediately.
Seeing that they agreed, Song Wuya immediately arrived, "I want to explain to you! Don't try to get it out of the mouths of the people below, you have to spit out the money yourself! If in the future It aroused public resentment, and made the Holy One think that it was my official who didn't handle the matter well. I think you don't want to see the consequences."
Master Niu and Yu Chun nodded again, as the matter was settled.
They still didn't speak at this moment, Song Wuya picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food: "Okay, since we have explained everything clearly, after the county magistrate returns, he can have those account books put away. Whether the official office is going well this time depends on the two of you."
After saying this, Song Wuya greeted them for dinner.But at this moment, they were so overwhelmed by Song Wuya's sharp words that they couldn't even think about eating.
However, compared to before, the faces of the two are much calmer now.Slowly drank with Song Wuya, and soon after a few glasses of wine, the unhappiness just now disappeared.
"Master Niu, the outcome of the matter depends on how you manipulate it. When I came here, I saw a pair of stone lions at your door. I'm afraid it cost a lot of money, right? It's a pity that I am also very upset. I like it, but I can only wait for a few more years of salary to get it at the door." Song Wuya looked at Master Niu, smiled slightly, and said meaningfully.
Hearing this, Master Niu, who had already let go, immediately said: "Master Song is right, you are an upright official, unlike us rough people who only like big ones. Since Master Song likes it, then even if the old man lets you People carry it, and they have to carry it to the capital."
"Master Niu's words are a bit unreliable. With such a pair of stone lions, it's much easier to find someone to do it again! Haha!" Song Wuya continued to smile, but after saying this, Niu Master also knew what Song Wuya meant.
Song Wuya's performance made Master Niu completely relieved.Follow Song Wuya together and haha different sizes.
The meal was almost finished soon, Song Wuya didn't drink too much this time.
"Master Niu, this meal is almost done, thank you for your hospitality. I don't have anything to give you, so I might as well leave a message for you before I leave." Song Wuya really planned to leave , to stay like this, is really worthless.
When Master Niu heard this, he immediately became serious, and hurriedly said: "Master Song, please tell me, I will remember it."
"I don't know if Master Niu has heard about the Wuliang Sect?" Song Wuya didn't say it directly, but asked.
When Master Niu heard this, he nodded immediately: "I have indeed heard of it. It is said that the Wuliang Sect is very powerful. I am afraid that there is a suspicion of rebellion!"
"Rebellion can't be called rebellion, at most it can be regarded as trouble. I don't know if Master Niu got involved with this Wuliang Church?" Song Wuya knew that the Wuliang Church wanted to attack them, but he didn't know what method the Wuliang Church used.
"No, no, absolutely not!" Master Niu acted very flustered, as if Song Wuya had really hit the nail on the head.
However, it doesn't matter whether you have it or not, Song Wuya went on to say: "Whether you have it or not, it's best not to have it. This Wuliangjiao is an insatiable master. If Master Niu is involved, I'm afraid that all the big boys on your rope will A string of grasshoppers can't protect you."
"I don't dare, how dare I get involved with this group of cults. Please don't worry, Mr. Song." Master Niu categorically refused to admit this matter.
Song Wuya nodded: "I heard that the Wuliang Sect wants to intervene in the private salt of this place. If Master Niu has nothing to do with them, then you have to be careful. You can't tell, your helmsman Their death is their cause!"
After saying this, Song Wuya got up immediately: "Okay, let me leave now, don't send me far away."
After leaving this sentence, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo walked outside together.
Master Niu watched the two of them go away, and forgot to go to see them off for a moment.
It wasn't until the two left that Master Niu took a deep breath and sat down.
"Father-in-law, it looks like Mr. Song knows everything!" Yu Chun said now, but the cold sweat still broke out on his forehead.
Master Niu nodded, and sighed heavily: "Yes! I didn't expect Mr. Song to find out everything when he came here. Didn't you listen to his last words? He even knew about the death of the helmsman. What's going on. We don't even know this yet!"
"Father-in-law, it seems we should really be careful." Yu Chun stood aside, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and said to Master Niu.
Master Niu ignored his words, his eyes suddenly became serious: "Master Song, fortunately, he didn't mean to attack us, otherwise we might not be able to stop him. At first, the old man thought that Mr. Song doesn’t like our tricks! I didn’t expect him to play a big role on us.”
"Hey! Father-in-law, don't care about him! As long as he doesn't attack us, let him play with power and prestige, so what's the matter?" Yu Chun knew that nothing was wrong, so he ignored it when he said this.
Compared with Mr. Niu, he really has no scheming.When Master Niu heard what he said, he became angry at that time.
"What do you know? Do you think he wants to save face for the sake of prestige? It's not that simple! He's just trying to tell us that in his eyes, we are just gadgets in his hands. If we don't Follow him, he can crush us to death anytime!"
