King, Queen Wants Divorce Again!

C76 The Cause of Clan Extermination

"Is that true?" Su Hui looked at Liu Xian. Although he was still questioning Liu Xian, his tone carried a bit of anger.

Liu Xian wiped off his sweat and repeated what he had said to Su Zixuan that day. The more he said it, the more guilty he felt.

"Of course I don't dare to speak nonsense. These young masters also know about it." Along the way, Liu Xian had been repeatedly declared that he would call Su Zixuan 'Young Master'. He naturally didn't dare to go against his words. After seeing Su Zixuan's shrewdness, he also believed that this Young Master's reputation was not just for show. Thus, he addressed him as "Young Master" extremely smoothly.

Su Cheng'an turned to look at Su Zixuan. Upon seeing him nod his head slightly, a complicated feeling arose in his heart.

It was in vain for him to stay in the east side of the river for so many years, bragging that he understood the other managers of the Twelve Salt Clans so well, thinking that they would never do something like this.

Unexpectedly, he didn't have the same understanding as the young mistress who had just arrived.

Seeing Su Huaxuan's pale and green face, Su Zixuan knew that he was upset that she had failed to notice.

However, this was not Su Hui's fault. How could a person not have greed? Furthermore, people were separated from each other. Some things could only be exhorted, and one could only pay more attention.

But I can't keep an eye on him forever. Where did I meet him? What kind of dishes did he eat today? Do I have to keep an eye on everyone?

All along, there had only been a thousand days of being a thief. There was no one who had a thousand days of guarding against thieves.

Had it not been for Su Zixuan's replay, he would never have expected that these shopkeepers would have risked their lives to do such a dangerous thing, with their generous salary and annual bonus from the salt trade.

However, there were some people who felt that wealth came from danger, and would never be satisfied with what they already had.

"Uncle, the most important thing right now is to find out what kind of saltwater there is that did these things." Su Zixuan muttered to herself irresolutely, "I'm afraid that this Dan Yang County isn't the only county."

Sue would frown. Wasn't he worried about that as well?

"Then, Miss, let's see what we should do next." In truth, a thought had begun to form in the depths of Su Cheng's heart, but he still wanted to hear Su Zixuan's thoughts and know her true strength.

Su Zixuan didn't try to cover it up and immediately said, "It's not good to alert the enemy. We have to send people to scout the area first. There are also the channels of private salt markets."

"I suspect that there is a link between these people as well."

"There's someone else involved?" Sue would not understand.

"I also have some guesses, but I'll have to look at the details first." Su Zixuan said, "If all of them were like Shopkeeper Liu and had sent their own men to negotiate at the salt field, then there would definitely be some evidence left behind. And since they need our Su Family's Salt Market to cover their faces, they will naturally not be caught in such a huge trap. "

"I wonder if he found someone else to help him or if someone else came looking for him." The light in Su Zixuan's eyes was clear and extinguishing, causing others to be unable to guess what she was thinking in the slightest.

When Liu Xian heard this, he was also embarrassed. He boasted that he was careful, but he didn't expect that he would do such a stupid thing on his first try.

Only the salt merchant's leader could get something like this. For example, he claimed that he had a strong backer, so he directly found the salt merchant. Naturally, he was shocked by the person he found, and in addition to being shocked, he was firmly rejected.

At that time, Liu Xian was still somewhat indignant, but in the end, he still found the item given by the salt merchant.

Now that he thought about it, he was quite lucky. Luckily, he didn't take it from the salt pan. Otherwise, if it was exposed, he would be courting death.

"Miss, you mean someone wants to sell our salt shop?" At this moment, Su Ming understood that if he was the one selling the salt, it would be for money. As long as he reported it to the officials, it would be fine. However, if someone else came to look for him, it would be different.

The Thirteen Salts of the East River was not just about the strength of one's words. The salt in the East River region was almost completely round. If one wanted to use the Thirteen Salts of the East, it was naturally not a small amount.

If there was a bigger person waiting to do this, it was not something to be looked down upon.

"I understand. Send someone to the salt shop down there and keep an eye on the movements there." Sue would immediately dispatch her men.

Since Jiangdong was close to the seaside, there were quite a few salt farms here, but they were all under the jurisdiction of the government.

Luling County was also the closest to the sea, so the investigation was naturally the most convenient.

In fact, Su Zixuan had guessed it because in her previous life, before she had died, Su Xuemin had revealed it in front of her.

Ever since Su Zixuan had married into the Yan Clan, the Yan Clan immediately sent people to take over the Thirteen Salt Streets. Some left, while others stayed.

At that time, Su Xue Ming was quite proud of himself and told her that the Yan Family had used the Thirteen Salt Shop to sell their private salt. They had earned a great amount of silver, but had accidentally been discovered.

So he was pushed to the Su Clan on the spot. Who told the Su Clan to be in charge of this matter for ten years? More importantly, it was the underling who reported this to him.

Su Zixuan didn't know who had appointed the Su Family. He said that his father had personally appointed a few shopkeepers to secretly sell salt.

However, these were only ten people on the left. Su Hui naturally wouldn't do that, and Liu Xian also couldn't do that. In the end, he only had eight people.

Although it was said to be the Thirteen Salt Streams of Jiangdong, it was not the truth. There were still three other Salt Streams located in Jiangnan.

Bighead, however, did the same in the eastern part of the river.
