Heavenly Dao Formula
Chapter 88 Private Salt
Yamaguchi?
Xia Fan shook his right hand and pinched the copper wire pendant in his sleeve pocket to his fingertips. As long as the opponent makes any changes, his streamer technique can immediately pull out a barrier made of electric arcs in front of him.
"Are you the behind-the-scenes instigator of Gaoshan County?"
"Instigate?" Wu Yueyao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency may have misunderstood. Although Xie Ma and Dong Sheng have the same origin, what they want and do are different."
Where is Dongsheng Kingdom? Xia Fan found himself at a loss, "You mean...you have more than one country?"
"Dongsheng is a puppet country where the feudal lords rebelled and established themselves as the king. It is not the same as the evil horse!" The man couldn't help but interjected.
Wu Yueyao did not agree, "Which kingdom didn't evolve step by step from small to large? It is rumored that the evil horse was just a small tribe hundreds of years ago."
"Master May!" the other party said anxiously.
"When I say this, it doesn't mean that I intend to give up my resistance——Dongsheng Kingdom's behavior is fierce and vicious, and it will do everything. My people will be reduced to slaves, and anyone who disobeys will be slaughtered. They annexed the evil horse." At this point she slightly lowered her head and said, "I hope that your country can help the evil horse for the sake of the covenant, and Guo Ji and I will be very grateful."
This amount of information is a bit large.
Xia Fan pondered for a while, if what the other party said is true, then it is obvious that in a hundred years, not only Yongguo has undergone earth-shaking changes, but also the opposite side of the sea is almost the same, so that when the long-interrupted contact is restored, the first thing brought over there is Help information.
He looked at Wu Yue carefully—from her appearance, she was a little younger than Ning Wanjun, her hair was a rare grayish brown, there was no crown or bun on the top of her head, and her hair was pulled back into a thin It's a long bunch and tied with a blue hair band. This dress style is indeed quite different from Qi Guo's.
The biggest difference from ordinary people is that she does not have black eyes and black pupils, but a bluish circle at the bottom, like a bay on a sunny day.
The appearance characteristics of this alien race are indeed convincing to a certain extent.
It's just that the sea traffic that has been silent for so long has quietly resumed now? No matter how Xia Fan thinks about it, he feels a little strange. Whether it is Xiema or Dongsheng, trade needs are always indispensable, right? What's more, Qiguo also has many well-informed wealthy merchant families. If there is an additional trade partner who can navigate, they will not be unresponsive.
No... that's not the most important question yet.
The key point is, why did the other party not go to the government, but wanted to ask him for a recommendation?
After thinking for a while, Xia Fan decided to find out the details of the other party first, and then said, "I do have a relationship with Princess Guangping, but it's not so good that I can see her whenever I want. If you want to see her, this reason may not work."
"Why?"
He picked up a piece of fish cake, dipped some sauce into his mouth. "As you can see, Yongguo no longer exists. The so-called century-old covenant should be a matter of the previous dynasty. If you came as a foreign envoy, you should send an official document to the local government and wait for the Ministry of Rites to reply. What's more What's more, aiding a foreign country requires the use of swords and soldiers. You don't think that Princess Guangping can handle such a big event alone?"
"I tried, but I still haven't been able to get a reply. I think... maybe Dongsheng Kingdom has infiltrated your government." Wu Yueyao took a breath again, "I also know that sending aid is difficult to achieve, so I just ask your country to block the private salt trade with Dongsheng, so that the evil horse can relieve some pressure."
"What did you say?" Xia Fan was surprised, "Selling salt?"
"Yes, our country is located on the sea, the terrain is narrow and long, and the salt resources are extremely scarce, so the side that occupies the salt production area naturally has an advantage. It is through buying a large amount of salt from the continental country that Dongsheng bought other princes, so that he can win in the battlefield. Go up and encircle and chase down our country's warriors, and win them by numbers."
Xia Fan's mind flashed like a bolt from the blue!
The Wang family is actually selling salt to foreign countries!
All the previous fragmentary information was pieced together by this one clue.
Since he took such an important resource as a transaction object, the things he can exchange for are probably not just money. The magistrate of Gaoshan County has a ninja-like qi-sensing monk around him, so he should be inseparable from the Wang family. If the murder that Li witnessed was instigated by the Wang family, then where did the people who died in the grottoes in the back mountain of Gaoshan County come from? The answer is vaguely ready to be revealed.
As the designated salt merchant of Jinxia City, he does have reason to be able to deal with those who burn and sell salt privately. For these prisoners who have been sentenced to death, as long as they do something with the government, it is not difficult for them to change their methods. Die - after all, no one cares about the final fate of these criminals. And the mechanism in the grotto can not only handle the corpses, but also please the Privy Council, which is undoubtedly killing two birds with one stone.
It can be said that in this evil case, none of Shenzhou official circles, Jinxia salt merchants, and Jinxia Privy Council were innocent.
Everyone gets a piece of the pie.
And the common people who died in vain because of evil spirits are that insignificant "price".
Xia Fan took a deep breath.
Reminiscent of Zhuzhi County 20 years ago, maybe the situation is even worse.
"Is there anything to prove your identity?"
Wu Yueyao slowly handed over an old leather paper.
Xia Fan spread it out, and found that the handwriting on it was jerky and distorted—it was another ancient character that Yongguo had used.
Although it is difficult for ordinary people to think of using this kind of text to forge, but considering the degree of insurance, only the translation of it can be regarded as a reliable proof.
"I can arrange a meeting for you." Xia Fan raised his head, "But we have to wait until this covenant is verified."
"Verify... what?"
"Of course it's the content above, you don't think anyone can understand it, do you?"
"Why...?" Wu Yueyao said intermittently, "Isn't this the secret language that you alchemists... have used?"
Did the former alchemists have to learn one more word? Even Luo Qingqing didn't mention this information. Xia Fan said calmly, "Maybe it has nothing to do with practicing alchemy, so let's cancel it. After all, this was all a hundred years ago."
"How long will it take for verification?"
Her voice was getting lower and lower.
"Hey, are you okay?" Xia Fan noticed that the other party's face was rosy and something was wrong.
Following his question, Wu Yue shook twice and tilted her body to one side.
"Master Wuyue, Lord Miko!" The man next to her hurriedly supported her and shouted anxiously.
"What's going on?" Xia Fan frowned.
"Master Wuyue was infected with wind and cold earlier, and he has not recovered, and his body is almost unable to hold on!"
He got up and walked to the other side, reached out to touch it, and found that the other side's forehead was as hot as a boil.
"She must be treated as soon as possible."
"But we lost all our belongings when we crossed the sea, and—" the man hesitated, "and you always only kill the aliens."
Aliens?
Xia Fan was startled, and stretched out his hand to lift the opponent's hood.
A pair of short pointed ears appeared in front of him.
