After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven
Chapter 606 Casting the Net
Fortunately, Lin Yutang did not let her down. After a moment, he made his position clear, "Since this is what the lady wants, then I will definitely do it well."
Yu Qingli then explained, "Actually, there's another reason why I didn't let you participate in the operation. Apparently, you're the eldest prince's man now, so you have to avoid suspicion when necessary. Furthermore, I don't think dealing with the eldest princess is as easy as it seems."
Lin Yutang nodded. In fact, it was not only not easy, it was simply exhausting. The eldest princess really did what she wanted. Fortunately, she had been obedient during this period. At least, she listened to him.
Seeing the embarrassment in Lin Yutang's eyes, Yu Qingli felt a little guilty. After all, no matter what, she was taking advantage of him.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, and the cool night breeze made the candlelight in the room jump. Xiluo brought the lampshade, and Lin Yutang stood up and said goodbye somewhat awkwardly. He still couldn't face Yu Qingli calmly. Although he knew that it was his wishful thinking, he still couldn't let it go.
It's just that now, he is even better at hiding things, hiding his emotions, hiding the love that shouldn't have arisen, just like hiding his true thoughts and staying by Murong Feng's side.
Everything is for the woman he loves and for that kindness.
Things began to proceed in an orderly manner. Murong Yan went back to contact them on the salt merchant side, and the rescue task was handed over to Crown Prince Murong Cheng. Yu Qingli and Xiluo went to visit another group of people who were also walking on the edge of a knife.
The weather was a bit gloomy that day, with dark clouds covering the sky, as if a violent storm would break out in the next second.
Yu Qingli was wearing a black outfit with her hair tied tightly behind her head. She stood next to Xiluo, who was dressed in the same outfit, and they looked like a pair of sisters!
Xiluo was also surprised. All along, her understanding of Yu Qingli was limited to her wisdom. As for other things, she was not so optimistic. After all, Yu Qingli did not know martial arts. But today's Yu Qingli was really surprising.
However, Xiluo had no idea that Yu Qingli had experienced killing. For a period of time, in order to protect the injured Murong Feng, she even had to get her hands stained with blood. Sometimes, in order to have something to eat, she had to hunt in the jungle where wild beasts might appear at any time.
Today, these memories are so distant that they seem like things from another world, but the feeling at that time is still engraved in her heart, so Yu Qingli never thinks of herself as weak, she is just used to using such a weak appearance to cover herself up.
Although she doesn't know martial arts, it doesn't mean she can't protect herself. Moreover, the place they are going this time is very dangerous, so she has to take it seriously.
This is the largest dock in Pei County. Due to the bad weather, there are not many people on the dock, but there are many boats parked at the water's edge not far away.
On the willow-lined shore stood several tall men, none other than Sha Qianli, the former leader of the Sea Shark Gang.
Seeing Yu Qingli coming over, Sha Qianli smiled and waved towards their position.
Yu Qingli and Xiluo walked over. They knew Sha Qianli by chance. This man was a real man and very righteous. After Yu Qingli rescued him, she took him under her command. In order to make the trip to Jiangnan go smoothly this time, Yu Qingli specially asked Sha Qianli to go ahead.
"Miss, you are finally here. I, Lao Sha, have been waiting for you for a long time."
Yu Qingli nodded slightly and got straight to the point, "How's the situation?"
Sha Qianli told Yu Qingli all the information he had found out. Yu Qingli nodded with great satisfaction. She had indeed made the right choice of him. If she wanted to find out the situation of the Salt Gang, she had to rely on the leader of the Sea Shark Gang to take action.
According to the news, this salt gang has existed secretly for at least forty or fifty years. Originally, these people were just bandits who robbed houses. Later, they got some illegal salt from somewhere, and then they kept growing bigger and bigger in this field. Now, their scale has become very large.
According to Sha Qianli, the current leader of the Salt Gang is called Ren Qiuyuan, who is now in his sixties and has only one daughter who is only in her twenties. This old man Ren was also a ruthless man in his past, and his methods were said to be extremely cruel. Over the years, under his management, the Salt Gang has become awe-inspiring.
Of course, these are all news heard on the street. On the surface, especially in the eyes of the government, the so-called salt gang is nothing more than a group of porters who have nothing to do and gather together to eat, drink and have fun. They are just a group of poor people and there is really nothing to be afraid of.
Yu Qingli didn't think so. She had heard of the Salt Gang. Although she had never had direct contact with these people, she knew their capabilities. Moreover, some memories that had been buried in her mind were slowly awakening. It seemed that she did know such a thing in her previous life, but it seemed that Murong Feng had already ascended the throne at that time and handled the matter with extremely thundering means.
At that time, Yu Qingli was no longer favored by Murong Feng, so she didn't know much about some things.
Looking at the current situation, perhaps the plague has come earlier, or perhaps because of my own changes, some things have also changed.
However, this time, Yu Qingli decided to solve the plague in her own way as soon as possible, and the current negotiations are the first step Yu Qingli is going to take.
Sha Qianli welcomed Yu Qingli into a somewhat shabby-looking warehouse next to the dock. Yu Qingli was shocked. This warehouse was like a different world.
The huge warehouse had long been converted into several rooms of different sizes. Although there were no carved beams and painted rafters, it was elegant and quiet. Exquisite and beautiful wood carvings were decorated on the red brick walls, which looked unique and elegant. Yu Qingli had already made a secret plan in her mind. It seemed that this Boss Ren was not a simple-minded and strong-limbed person. At least he knew how to live and had great taste.
As soon as you enter the warehouse, the oncoming green comes into view, which makes you feel much more relaxed, although the dark and strong men standing on both sides of the road are extremely out of place in this scenery.
There were three large characters "Zhengqitang" hanging above a room in the middle of the warehouse. It seemed that this was the meeting room of the salt gang. At this moment, there was a person sitting in the main hall, who seemed to be the leader of the salt gang.
Yu Qingli looked over and saw that the man in the main seat looked to be no more than forty or fifty years old, with a ruddy face and silver hair tied high behind his head. He looked energetic, and his slightly plump face was covered with an extremely kind smile, making him as friendly as an ordinary old man next door.
Yu Qingli's intuition told her that this person should be Qiu Yuan, the director of the Salt Gang. He was definitely not as amiable as he looked. From his sharp eyes, it could be seen that this person was extremely cruel.
There were two tall and strong men sitting on each side of Ren Qiuyuan, who should be the main cadres of the Salt Gang. The only person who was out of tune with these people was probably the woman standing behind Ren Qiuyuan. She was wearing a red tight-fitting suit. Her appearance was not outstanding, but she gave people a sharp feeling. She pursed her lips tightly, and her slightly thin body stood straight, like a sharp sword.
This woman is definitely the Miss Ren mentioned in the rumors. It is true that seeing someone in person is worse than hearing about them.
Yu Qingli became more and more interested. It seemed that this Salt Gang was much more interesting than she had imagined.
"Boss Ren, long time no see."
"Boss Sha, you're too polite. It's truly an honor for you to come to a small place like ours. I wonder who these two are..."
"This is the master I mentioned to the gang leader earlier."
Sha Qianli introduced Yu Qingli to Ren Qiuyuan. Ren Qiuyuan was slightly stunned at first, then laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the master that Gang Leader Sha was talking about was actually a little girl? Gang Leader Sha, are you sure you are not joking with me?"
These words clearly looked down on Yu Qingli, but Yu Qingli was not angry. She knew that it was normal to be looked down upon at her age.
"A hero's origins are not judged, Master Ren, who says that a little girl can't tame a reckless man?"
Yu Qingli was neither humble nor arrogant, and spoke with a smile, but her eyes were cold and bright, making it impossible to look directly at her. Although she was wearing an extremely ordinary black suit, she exuded an aura that no one could match. Ren Qiuyuan was secretly shocked. Under his deliberate training, his daughter had always had an astonishing aura, but now compared with this woman, the difference was simply worlds.
"Hahaha, it seems that I am shortsighted. I don't know how to address you, Miss?"
"Old Boss, you're too polite. If you don't mind, just call me Ali."
"Alright! I like your straightforward personality. Hong'er, come and meet Miss Ali."
The woman in red was indeed the daughter of the current gang leader, and judging from the old gang leader's expression, he obviously wanted to make friends with them. This made Yu Qingli feel a lot more relieved. Since the other party took the initiative to show goodwill, she naturally would not waste this opportunity.
In the following time, Yu Qingli unexpectedly had a pleasant conversation with Gang Leader Ren, and from these people's mouths, Yu Qingli actually discovered an extremely shocking secret. The salt currently sold in Pei County was actually privately produced by government officials, and 80% of those who got sick were because of eating that kind of salt.
Yu Qingli was horrified and couldn't help but hate these beasts who disregarded the lives of the people. She also had a general understanding of the source of the plague.
On the other hand, Murong Yanhui and his friends also gained a lot. After some dealings with the county magistrate, he had roughly understood the situation of Pei County. However, what surprised them was that it seemed that not only Pei County, but the salt fields in the entire Jiangnan region had been secretly controlled by a person of noble status in the imperial capital.
