Chapter 57 Behind the Scenes Pretend Scene

Before going to bed, Zhu Da suddenly realized what he asked about his uncle. He understood what Qin Xiucai wanted to do and the other party wanted to win over him.

Telling the people who have first met with you is indeed a good way to get close to each other. It is not very different from the book’s “removing clothes and pushing food”. Zhu Da just wonders a little, what he has to do, and it is worthy of the other party’s attention.

However, Xiang Bo's actions at the banquet were understandable now. Whether it was to agree to Qin Xiucai's invitation or to let Zhou Qingyun stay and listen, it was all to provide him and Zhou Qingyun with better opportunities.

After knowing the identity of Qin Xiucai, Xiang Bo naturally understood that the other party was highly qualified, not to mention strength, but the relationship between master and apprentice is not a vague thing. In the world, the apprentice had a certain personal dependence on the master before he became a master. No matter how much Qin Xiucai wanted to win over, as long as Xiang Bo did not agree, there would be no way.

However, Xiang Bo agreed without hesitation. You must know that with an apprentice like Zhu Da, there are many benefits in public and secrets, including rock salt, fish and various ideas, but Xiang Bo still agreed simply.

This shows that Xiang Bozhen regarded Zhu Da as his family. When he was considering it, he did not consider his own interests, but thought about Zhu Da's future and benefits. Of course, it was the old man's selfish intention to leave Zhou Qingyun behind. I hope Zhou Qingyun can get a relationship with Qin Xiucai.

Confused by Qin Xiucai's efforts to win over his enthusiasm and thanked his master Xiang Bo's sincerity, Zhu Da slowly fell asleep.

The Qin family's guest rooms are much better than those of the villagers in Baibao Village. They are clean, warm and quiet. Everyone slept well that night. The next morning, the three of them got up a little late, but this "night" is relatively bright, and it is only after getting up.

Although I didn't see it yesterday, there were more than one servants in Qin Xiucai's family. After the three of them got up, someone brought breakfast, white porridge, pancakes and pickles. Everyone had a great time eating. Zhou Qingyun also muttered, "It would be great to live this life every day." Zhu Da and Xiang Bo did not respond.

"You can't slack off when practicing martial arts." After dinner, Xiang Bo drove Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to the yard.

Most people in this era get up very early. When Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun used wooden sticks to make sword tricks, Qin Xiucai also dressed neatly and appeared in the yard. It happened that a rooster crowed at this time. Qin Xiucai smiled and said, "This is just a rooster dancing!"

After saying this, Qin Xiucai asked Zhu Da with a smile and said, "Do you know the allusion of this idiom?"

"I can't remember it very clearly. It should be the allusion of Zuxun and Liu Kun's hard work when they were young." Zhu Da replied. The idiom "Smelling the Chicken to Dance" was mentioned a lot in the school that year, and it was spoken thoroughly, and he also had an impression.

Qin Xiucai nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xiang Bo. Xiang Bo smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "Mr. Qin, don't look at the old man. These are not taught by the old man. Let this child explain it to you in the future!

This answer made scholar Qin Chuan laugh. Before he could continue, the gate of the courtyard was knocked. Not long after, the leader of the Salt Stand Horse Team, "Brother Xu San", walked in yesterday. Compared to his full armed force yesterday, the middle-aged man was much more relaxed today, and the Spurs on the horse boots had also been removed.

After entering the door, he signaled to Qin Xiucai, but he didn't say anything. He stared at Zhu Da, Zhou Qingyun and the others for a long time, and commented: "This Arhat can still fight against the enemy after practicing the six swords, which is not a slut."

Then the third brother Xu smiled at Qin Xiucai and said, "The dozen or so servants of Zheng Family Ji left last night. These bastards really want to get popular with them."

The dozen or so servants in Zheng Family Ji? Isn’t it just the servants and cavalry sent by the guards to wipe out the bandits some time ago? I remember passing by the entrance of Baibao Village, and said with great power that they were going to Zheng Family Ji. This salt bank should have been opened by people related to the guards. Most of these salt bankers were from the family guards. Why are they so hostile to the officers and soldiers?

After hearing this, many questions popped up in Zhu Da's mind. He was used to thinking quickly linked these questions, and his movements gradually slowed down when he was practicing martial arts.

"Zhu Da, don't be distracted, practice hard!" Xiang Bo did not roar, but just frowned and shouted.

His scolding changed both Qin Xiucai and Xu San Ge's attention. Qin Xiucai even noticed the sudden shocked expression on Zhu Da's face. Qin Chuan asked with a smile: "Zhu Da, what did you think of?"

Zhu Da hesitated whether to say it clearly, and then made a decision, showing off with some flaunts, instead making himself more like a smart boy. He stopped and replied, "I have figured out the matter of the thief!"

This was a ignorant statement, but Qin Xiucai and Xu San Ge understood it. They looked at each other and Xu San Ge said angrily: "Can you figure out what you can understand at a young age? If you are lucky enough to kill a thief, can you know anything else?"

Qin Xiucai was gentle and said with some encouragement: "Zhu Da, tell me what you think."

"Just heard from Uncle Xu San's talk about the servants leaving. Are they the cavalry of the guards in the garrison?" Zhu Da asked.

After nodding there, Zhu Da continued, "I suddenly thought that the servants of this garrison came to Zhengjiaji to say that they were suppressing bandits. In fact, were they here to deal with Mr. Qin?"

Qin Xiucai was stunned for a moment, then his face was calm, and the third brother Xu stared at Zhu Da with an incredible expression and asked, "Have you asked about that thief? Why don't you report it?"

"All the tortures have been reported." Zhu Da said in a humble and arrogant manner.

Qin Xiucai nodded and said, "Brother Xu San, we have also questioned him. They don't know anything. Only the thief who was not caught knew the inside story, and the others were all used."

After saying that, he said to Zhu Da, "You keep talking." A smile appeared on his face.

"I heard from Master that the Salt Stage's general number is another place, but the Zheng family gathers all the prosperous places, and the Salt Stage semicolon here must be very business, let alone Mr. Qin here, that's even more important. I think there are many guards here, and the thieves and hundreds of villages staring at the salt vendors in various villages. I think they want to transfer the guards from the Salt Stage and kill in when the garrison is empty. At that time, the confidence of success will be much greater."

Zhu Da talked happily, and Brother Xu's eyes widened, looking at Zhu Da as if he was looking at a monster. Xiang Bo was full of shock, but he nodded slowly. It was thought that he had understood this. Qin Xiucai had a surprised and admirable face and said gently: "Tell me more carefully, say whatever you can think of."

"In our Datong Zuowei and Huairen County areas, the most stable and profitable business is private salt. Shengping Salt Stack is doing so well, and it must be targeted by others. The one who is qualified and capable of robbing the garrison general is the garrison general. However, Mr. Qin has a scholarly reputation and can open the salt stack openly, and it is impossible to make a move on the surface, so he can only use other methods. There is no king's law outside the city and town. If someone kills people in the wild, no one will care about it. Therefore, he can let go of the salt vendors in each village and hundreds of households. Although there is a king's law in the city and town, as long as they do it quickly and cleanly, no one will pursue it. So they attack the salt vendors on the salt stack and disrupt the foundation of the salt stack. At the same time, they are luring the tiger away from the mountain. At the same time, they are arranged with strength in important places. As long as the guard is empty, there will be a thunder strike. At that time, kill and leave quickly, and they will not be caught by the end."

The yard was already quiet, and several people were staring at Zhu Da. Except for Zhou Qingyun's ignorance, everyone else was shocked. When Zhu Da was talking about these things, he was so conscious that he had a subconscious association with some routines after seeing too many examples. But thanks to this era, because he had goals and ideals, he was cautious every step and developed the habit of thinking seriously, otherwise he would not have shown such "intelligence".

"I guess the guard generals who are going to take action have been looking for opportunities. When the frontier smoke ignited, they could do something naturally, such as creating 'bandit soldiers', and the bandit soldiers gave them the reason to send slaughter cavalry. Maybe the 100 households were ready for combat preparations, so that the 100 households were empty and made it easier for the bandit soldiers to catch fish in troubled waters. The guard generals should know Mr. Qin's wisdom and planning. They felt that Mr. Qin was in charge of the operation of the salt bank. On the one hand, he thought that killing Mr. Qin would cause chaos in the salt bank. On the other hand, he wanted to coerce Mr. Qin to use it for their own use, so he sent someone to tie Qin Qin. Think about it more, I'm afraid there were spies in the Zheng family, who were in charge of the inside and outside, otherwise the bandit soldiers would not have succeeded so easily."

"It's amazing!" Qin Xiucai muttered in a low voice. Only Brother Xu, who was beside him, heard it, but everyone was listening to Zhu Da's analysis at this time.

"But the guards' generals didn't expect that the bandits would be carelessly killed by two young men. Then the salt bank reacted so quickly, directly wiped out the bandits and caught the survivors. At this time, there was no possibility of attacking, so he had to retreat. If he didn't leave, he would probably have trouble in both the officials and privately."

"But when extermination of the bandits, the salt bank was empty, why didn't the other party take action?" Qin Xiucai interrupted and asked.

"One is fast, it takes less than two days to go back and forth, and the other is that the cavalry of the garrison is too peaceful for too long. After coming to Zhengjiaji, he didn't want to keep a close eye on it. He just waited for news of the peak and was looking for fun on his own. Therefore, if he didn't seize this opportunity, Mr. Qin's risk would be gone."
