Chapter 806 Bundle Sales
"He was a hermit master. I received his guidance back then. Unfortunately, he went on a journey and has not returned since."
General Wang was a little disappointed. "Then I wonder if there is any... secret manual?"
"Oh! I know I'm a little abrupt, but I'm just a little envious of your agile moves and profound internal strength!"
Jiang Youzhen shook his head. The martial arts secrets cannot be given away. The secrets of one’s own practice are confidential and cannot be given to others.
There are also one or two more common martial arts secrets that Jiang Youzhen wanted to pass on to Jiang Li and the others, but he couldn't give them to them.
Jiang Youzhen thought about it and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.
"I don't have any secret manuals, but this Xinggong Pill is a pill I made to speed up the cultivation of internal strength. Take one pill a day and combine it with internal energy training, and you can make great progress every day.
But there are only ten pills, because taking more is useless. And the medicinal materials are very rare, and nine out of ten times they fail when refining. This is the only successful batch. "
Jiang Youzhen was lying with her eyes open. She made the pill sound so rare just to make General Wang feel it was precious and to avoid future troubles.
However, this pill was made by adding a lot of precious medicinal materials and spiritual spring water, and the effect is indeed better than the previous pills.
In fact, he still had several bottles in his hand, which he prepared to give to Jiangchuan and his friends. Jiangchuan and his friends had worked hard on this trip, so they must be rewarded.
"To General Wang, because I feel that I have a connection with him. But please don't spread the word, General Wang, because I really can't afford a second bottle."
"This? You're giving me such a precious elixir? No, no, no! I don't deserve it!"
General Wang waved his hands repeatedly. This was too precious. He felt that he owed Jiang Youzhen a huge favor.
"Please accept it, General Wang. Consider it as me making friends with you, General."
General Wang was very tempted. Although he had doubts about the effectiveness of the pill, he was reluctant to look away.
"General, just take it!" Jiang Youzhen knew that the other party wanted it very much from the eager look in his eyes, so he stuffed it into General Wang's hand.
"Thank you! If you need my help in the future, please let me know."
General Wang put the pill in his arms, ready to find an opportunity to try it when he had some free time.
"Today, I will order my servants to prepare a sumptuous dinner to reward the troops. However, I have important matters to attend to tonight, so I will not accompany you. Tomorrow morning, I will prepare for the general and the soldiers."
"Okay! This general knows that you have something to deal with, so I won't disturb you." After saying this, General Wang prepared to go to the wing room to rest.
"Sir, the heads of the Wan family and the Yun family want to see you!" Jiang Ru hurried in to report.
What are they doing here? Jiang Youzhen wondered.
"I haven't even come to settle accounts with them yet, but they've already come to my door. Let them in!"
Jiang Youzhen still wanted to see what these two people were planning. Perhaps they saw that the Yu family had completely collapsed and were afraid that they would be implicated, so they were preparing to test them?
However, considering that the head of the Wan family had cooperated with her plan before, she would still let them off as long as the Wan family’s past involvement in the private salt trade was not excessive.
The heads of the Wan family and the Yun family arrived soon. After they arrived, they immediately bowed deeply to Jiang Youzhen.
"I, the humble Wan Nian Song (Yun He Nian), greet you, Your Excellency!"
"No need to be so polite, the two family heads. I wonder why you came to see me?"
By now the houses in the city must have been searched and ransacked, so these two people can't sit still, right?
Wan Niansong and Yun Henian looked at each other, and then Wan Niansong said, "I thank you for getting rid of this evil for the people! The Yu family has oppressed the local people for many years, and our Wan family and Yun family have suffered greatly. Now that the Yu family has been eradicated, our two families can breathe a sigh of relief."
"Oh? The Wan family and the Yun family are the two major families in Lin'an Prefecture. How could they be suppressed by the Yu family?" Jiang Youzhen pretended to be ignorant.
Yun Henian took a step forward and said indignantly: "My lord, you don't know! The Salt Gang is growing stronger and stronger. The Yu family has climbed up to the Salt Gang and obtained the right to sell private salt.
They colluded with the salt warehouse, passed inferior goods off as good ones, and filled the warehouse with sand and stones, so that there was not enough official salt to sell. Our Yun family and Wan family are both designated sales points by the government, but we often run out of salt because there is no official salt. "
"They actually dare to monopolize salt, and even you have to look up to them? Humph! The power given to them by the Salt Gang? Do you really think that the Salt Gang can do whatever it wants?" Jiang Youzhen shouted angrily.
"Isn't it? We have to look at their faces when we get the official salt. Several times, we complained to the prefect, and the prefect went to check the salt warehouse, but he didn't expect that the salt warehouse was actually controlled by the co-prefect Sun Wei.
When Lord Zhou went to check, he returned the salt that had been taken away by the Yu family from the salt warehouse, but we became the villains who spread rumors and caused trouble. It really makes us angry!"
Wan Niansong was simply furious when talking about the Yu family.
"Not only did the Yu family keep the salt warehouse, they also bundled the goods in their shop for sale, causing the business of our two shops to plummet." Yun Henian recalled the bitterness of the past years! There was no place to appeal for grievances!
"Oh? How to tie it up?" Jiang Youzhen became interested and planned to write it down in the memorial and the case conclusion.
"The Yu family is greedy. They say that if you want to buy salt, you must buy at least one or two items from their shop. Otherwise, you can't buy salt. Sometimes they even reduce the price by one or two cents, forcing our two families to follow suit and reduce the price.
But even if the price was lowered, people would not buy from our two shops because we did not have salt."
The two of them talked about the evil deeds of the Yu family in an endless stream.
Jiang Youzhen listened to them for a quarter of an hour and then interrupted them.
She was very busy today and had no time to listen to them.
"Then are your two families involved in the illegal salt trafficking?"
This sentence made the two of them speechless, like ducks with fate strangled by the throat.
"Alas! Lord Jiang, in order to survive, we can only get salt from the Yu family, but we have only done so two or three times because we were really forced into a desperate situation.
Fortunately, after the prefect knew the truth, he took out more than half of the official salt prepared by several families in the prefecture every time he went to the salt warehouse. But it was only more than half, because he had no say. This more than half was the result of competing with the salt gang. "
Jiang Youzhen was surprised. So, did the prefect actually do something? However, it was just one-sided statements from the two of them, and it needed to be verified later.
"It is his duty to provide you with official salt. Being held hostage by the Salt Gang is due to his incompetence!" Jiang Youzhen felt that it was really aggrieved that a prefect had to do this.
Yun Henian and Wan Niansong's faces suddenly changed. If the prefect couldn't save him, what about them?
"Sir, we really only participated in it two or three times, and we were forced to close several shops. Later, the prefect intervened and we found a way out, but it was only enough to make a living."
Yun Henian knelt down and cried tears streaming down his face.
"Please forgive me, sir!" Wan Niansong also knelt down.
The two looked at each other and finally made up their minds. It seemed that they had to go this far.
