King, Queen Wants Divorce Again!

C79 Sale of Private Salt

The dim yellow light suddenly shone into her eyes. Su Zixuan lowered her eyes and took a while before she could adjust to it.

It was dark and damp, more like a tunnel with an unpolished corner at the top. There was only a square table and a set of tea set in front of him.

Su Zixuan looked at the rugged man sitting behind the table. His nose was straight and his lips were thick, and he had a pair of bright eyes. At this moment, the pair of shrewd eyes narrowed as they carefully sized him up.

Su Zixuan wasn't in a hurry. She looked around, but didn't say anything. On her face, she looked extremely at ease.

"I'm Su Shi from Yongfeng County, Danyang County. I'm here to seek for a path of wealth from Boss Li." She wasn't worried about being found out. There was indeed such a person in Yongfeng County, and coincidentally, it was a salt shop. However, he had only been secretly born under the big salt shop and hadn't earned that much.

The man with the upturned eyes slanted his eyes at Su Zixuan, his brows knitted tightly. He had always hated salt dealers like them, and felt that they were in the way of money. However, he never would have thought that this day would come where salt dealers would come asking for help.

He wasn't afraid that Su Zixuan was a swindler. These people had found his name. Moreover, he had sent someone to investigate in Yongfeng County, so this person was indeed here.

The cunning rabbit still had three holes. How many years had he been doing this for? No matter how much the authorities investigated, they could not find him. What was there to be afraid of? A mere salt manager like him.

"Look, he's a salt maker." The man smiled mockingly as he chatted with the person next to him. Unsurprisingly, he received the same kind of ridicule.

"I don't dare to take it for granted. This salty shop is really full of grievances. It's not even as carefree as Boss Li." Su Zixuan forced a smile, revealing a trace of appropriate awkwardness.

If it weren't for the fact that the punishment imposed by the Da Qi Kingdom on buying and selling salt was too heavy, who would go to the trouble of earning more salt than them?

Only when the Su Clan became an imperial merchant and paid enough money could they get a lot of benefits and guarantee that they could get enough salt. Only then could the official documents pass quickly.

"I dare not say. The reason for doing this is because the more courage one has, the more one will earn." The man cast a sidelong glance at Su Zixuan and said, "As long as Manager Su dares, you must have great ability."

Su Zixuan smiled apologetically and agreed, "Of course, of course."

After paying the deposit, he would only be taken out on a good date.

When her eyes were blindfolded again, Su Zixuan silently remembered this path in her heart and realized that it was different from before.

As expected, he was cunning. Su Zixuan sneered.

Of course, he wouldn't be able to get his hands on the salt so quickly.

Su Zixuan was brought back to the village three days later, only to be told that he was going to take the goods from a village on the outskirts of the city.

Just like this, another half a month passed before Su Zixuan brought people to come find him again.

This time, he took the initiative to chat with the shop assistant who was leading the way, but was ignored.

The road was different, so Su Zixuan followed the route in her mind several times. When she realized that there was nothing that matched the path she had taken before, she couldn't help but laugh. "What kind of place is this?"

This time, Boss Li seemed a lot friendlier than before. After all, with such a stable yet inaccessible salt store, he had a lot of stock and earned more than just a small amount of money.

No wonder Lao Ye and that group of people were so full of money.

Thinking about this, the man was a bit depressed. The biggest salt merchant in Danyang County was him a few years ago, and Lao Ye was just a small salt merchant. He didn't know when he had gotten involved with the salt farm, but he had taken things from there instead.

At the end, he actually did this together with the biggest salt shop in Dan Yang County. Seeing that he had earned a lot of money, the number of people on his side became fewer and fewer these past few years. However, now that there was a salt shop that had come looking for him, his good days were coming as well.

After understanding the situation, Su Zixuan's expression turned even friendlier. At this moment, Su Zixuan was considering his options.

"To tell you the truth, when I asked someone to look for a way out, he told me to go to a shop owner called Boss Ye first." A look of hesitation appeared on Su Zixuan's face, then he said, "It's just that I'm usually unable to speak with Boss Li over there, which is why you brought me over to Boss Li's side."

"What, you've come to make Manager Su feel wronged?" The man's face didn't look too good. All these years, Old Ye had robbed him of a lot of business. The reason why he came to find him was through his fingernails.

"No, no, I'm just curious." Su Zixuan muttered in a low voice, "I've already spent a large sum of money to find this person. I just don't know how sacred Boss Ye is, so I can't even take a look at half of the family's wealth."

Of course, there was no such thing as spreading one's wealth halfway. The man sized up Su Zixuan, but it seemed like he was still tricked.

When he saw this Manager Su act, he knew that he was no ordinary person. It turned out that he had spent money to find the wrong person, and he could only walk his own path.

At this point, Boss Li wasn't afraid of telling Su Zixuan that since this person had already boarded his boat, he couldn't simply let him go.

"Of course it's not ordinary. How could an ordinary person pull a salt shop into the water?" The man smiled sinisterly, "Even the biggest salt shop in Danyang County would be willing to give their lives away. Do you think that it's possible?"

Su Zixuan's heart sank. Although he'd guessed a bit, he hadn't personally heard the shock that came.
