Chapter 5 Seventeen Burning Up

?Chapter 5 seventeen is burning

Song Wuya's uncertain words made Situ Wen sigh endlessly: "Hey, we have too few clues now. I thought there were only things about Wuliangjiao here, but now what the Niu family has done is also surprising. I don't understand. In addition, there are salt merchants here, it's too messy!"

"Yeah! It's too messy!" Song Wuya shook his head and said.

This time it was really a mixed bag, with multiple forces entangled together.

There is an undercurrent in this small county, and I don't know how many people are staring at such a fast fat meat.

The violence of private salt has made many people jealous.Those big salt merchants got a lot of benefits from it.But people's greed made them not satisfied with the status quo, and wanted to replace Niu's family to gain more profits, but they did not expect such a result.

Song Wuya thought to himself, it's not just them now.I'm afraid that other forces involved in this matter will also be in a mess, and they can't figure out who did these things.After all, some of the things were done by them, but the other things that caused them headaches and things they didn't want to see were the means of others.

What happened yesterday, after the announcement issued by the government today, has not been alleviated, but many people have pointed the finger at the Niu family again.

Originally, Song Wuya thought that these salt merchants would not be able to guess the intention of the Niu family, but he didn't expect that it would be easily guessed by others.

Now that some people have guessed the intention of the Niu family, then the matter will be easier to handle, and they must also know that this matter will be put to rest in the end.But they are also human beings, just like those big salt merchants. They also have greed in their hearts, and they also want to get more profits, so they will not let go of this opportunity.

Song Wuya and the others didn't leave the inn after lunch and stayed until the next day.

Early the next morning, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo had just woken up, and there was already a blast outside.

"Brother Wu Ya, it seems that God is helping us, something really happened."

Before they got downstairs, they had already heard what was being discussed in the noisy voice downstairs.

Bai Zhuo was overjoyed and expressed his excitement to Song Wuya.

The two came downstairs, but they couldn't find a place to sit.These salt merchants really got up early enough, and all of them looked full of energy.

"Haha! Who is it that makes things difficult for the Niu family? Not only did they burn their warehouse, but they also burned down the racecourse last night. Haha, it's so heartwarming! It can be seen that the Niu family has gone too far and offended them." many people."

"Yeah! After I heard about this, I was very happy! Yesterday, the Niu family just put up a notice saying that those officials were counterfeit by others, and they also said that they had recently elected the helmsman. But that night, they The racecourse was burned down. Do you think this is a good thing done by those fake officials?"

"It doesn't matter who did it, we're happy anyway."

This early in the morning, many salt merchants put a lot of good wine and food on the table, laughing while drinking.

During the discussion, the voice suddenly gradually lowered.

Seeing this situation, Song Wuya immediately frowned, looked out, and indeed saw Yu Chunzheng rushing in.

Originally Song Wuya wouldn't say much, but now it's different.Although they came and went here, and Yu Chun didn't come to the inn too often.But after all, not many people know their identities. Those people only know that there is an imperial envoy living in this inn, but they haven't seen what the imperial envoy looks like.

"No, I'm afraid Yu Chun came here to do something bad. We just performed in front of the salt merchants yesterday. If we are recognized today, I'm afraid there will be bad effects. Hurry up and hide upstairs." Song Wu Ya saw Yu Chun and hurriedly said to Bai Zhuo.

Fortunately, they were still at the stairs and didn't go out, and Yu Chun didn't see the two of them when he came in.

Back in the room, just after closing the door, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside.

Soon there was a knock on the door: "Master Song, I greet you from the lower officials."

Bai Zhuo went to open the door and let Yu Chun in.

"My lord Yu got up really early!" Bai Zhuo looked at Yu Chun and said jokingly.

Yu Chun nodded to Bai Zhuo, "Mr. Bai was joking. Something happened last night. I originally wanted to come here last night, but I was afraid of disturbing Mr. Song, so I waited until this morning. Seeing that the time is almost up, Xiaguan I couldn’t wait to come over.”

Needless to say, the reason why Yu Chun came here must be because of the fire at Niu's horse farm last night.

"Oh? What happened? What made Mr. Yu so impatient?" Song Wuya immediately asked Yu Chun.

"Master Song doesn't know yet, does he? Last night, the racecourse outside Niu's City was on fire!" Yu Chun immediately explained to Lai.

Sure enough, just as Song Wuya said, the reason why Yu Chun came here was because of the fire at the Niu's horse farm last night.

Hearing these words, Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo showed serious expressions at the same time.

"What? The racecourse caught fire? How could such a thing happen? The Niu's warehouse just caught fire, and now the racecourse is on fire again. These people are really disgusting!" Song Wuya said pretending to be angry.

"Who says it's not!" Yu Chun was even more resentful: "These people are really hateful!"

"How's the fire going? Are there any casualties?" Song Wuya began to inquire about the details of this matter seriously after he had done enough acting.

Yu Chun took a deep breath and said, "Fortunately, the fire was not too big. It's just that a whole room of fodder was missing, and there were no casualties."

"Oh! This is fine, as long as there is no major loss." Song Wuya nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.But his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Yu Chun and said, "This is not a big deal, is it? Mr. Yu came to find me, and he didn't mean to tell me about it?"

"To be honest, apart from this accident, I actually want Mr. Song to help me." Obviously, Yu Chun came to look for Song Wuya eagerly for this kind of matter. matter.

Since there were other matters, Song Wuya naturally wanted to ask clearly what kind of help he wanted from himself.

"Oh? Ask me to help? Sir Yu might as well talk about it." Song Wuya nodded and asked Yu Chun to speak bluntly.

"Actually, it's for the election of a new helmsman." Yu Chun explained.

But as soon as he said this, Song Wuya stopped him immediately: "My lord, how can I help you with this matter? Do you still need me to choose the helmsman? I'm afraid you can solve this matter by yourself right?"

"Who says it's not! Originally, there was no need to bother Mr. Song about this matter. But things are different now. The salt merchants in this city don't trust our Niu family very much. So I want to invite Mr. Song to abbot this matter. Things, with you, the imperial envoy in charge, the Niu family will definitely be able to regain the trust of those salt merchants." It seems that they are ready to use Song Wuya once.

How could Song Wuya agree to such a thing.Not to mention that he is a dignified imperial envoy, but now he is just pretending to be a snake. Even if he really mixed up with them, such a thing would be too reckless.

"Hmph! Master Yu, the Niu's racecourse just caught fire, and you are going to set fire to me, are you planning to burn me to death?" Song Wuya said coldly with a suddenly stern expression.

Yu Chun suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately fell to his knees with a plop, "My lord, please calm down, I have absolutely no intention of doing that!"

"No such meaning? Isn't it obvious to you? What else do you need me to say?" Song Wuya looked at him and said coldly: "Master Yu, don't forget that I have nothing to do with you ? Don’t say that I don’t accept a penny from you now, even if I do, I’m afraid it’s not easy for me to help you with this matter, right?”

"This..." Yu Chun was speechless.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo remembered this matter yesterday, but the Niu family hadn't expressed anything to them yet.Today, Yu Chun came directly to him, asking him to deal with this matter, which is really funny.

Seeing Yu Chun's speechless state, Bai Zhuo immediately chased away the guest: "Master Yu, I think you should go back and get ready. It's so early in the morning, Master Song hasn't even had a sip of hot tea yet!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I will leave now." Yu Chun got up immediately, bowed his body and exited the room.

After Yu Chun left, Bai Zhuo immediately laughed and said, "Brother Wu Ya, you just scared the county magistrate Yu!"

"These days, we have shown too much enthusiasm. This is not acceptable. We must not let them think that we are crowding to get on their boat. Today's appearance is to remind them that we should Hurry up to send the benefits. As for asking me to do things, don't talk nonsense in the past." Song Wuya got up and walked towards the door. "We just said yesterday that this Niu family is shameless, and today it is even more shameless. If we are allowed to come forward about the selection of the helmsman, don't say that we are pretending to be snakes. I am afraid that it will be heard in the ears of the Holy One in the future. He will not give us good fruits for such things that insult Shengwei."

This is true. Although they are highly valued by the emperor now, it may not be the case that they will die sooner rather than later!

Therefore, you need to be more cautious when doing things, and you can't do everything recklessly.Among other things, they cheated others of some money, not to mention them, definitely more than half of the civil and military men in the Manchu Dynasty had such a handle, so it was nothing, after all, they were the kind of people who took money and did nothing.

After leaving the room, Bai Zhuo nodded after hearing Song Wuya's words: "Brother Wuya is right, there is no harm in being cautious."
