Chapter 198: Pay the money and everything will be fine

Salt is an important daily necessity. In Dali, the sale of private salt is prohibited for two important reasons.

First, the sale of salt by the government is a controlled behavior, so it has been in the hands of the court since ancient times. It is also an important source of income, and buying salt is a disguised way of paying taxes.

Secondly, it was to prevent someone from maliciously raising the price of salt and prevent national instability, which also created conditions for the development of salt monopoly.

The Zhao family was labeled as "selling illegal salt", and that was not something they could get rid of easily.

However, Zhuifeng hadn't finished speaking yet, there should be a turning point.

"Yanzhen was originally under the jurisdiction of Dashun County, Yuzhou Prefecture, and was also considered Xie Mingyuan's territory, but—"

Zhuifeng changed the subject again: "Hey, what's interesting is that Xie Mingyuan seemed to be completely unaware of this. In the end, Zhao Xingyu was rescued by Governor Ke..."

The Zhao family actually hooked up with Conan Xin?

If Conan Xin knew what they were thinking, he would definitely shout three times that it was unfair. He was not taking any benefits, he was just covering up for his brother-in-law.

If this is true, the Zhao family would not be willing to pay the money. Anyway, if Xie Mingyuan fell, he would have a bigger leg to lean on.

"What's going on over there with Xie Mingyuan?"

Xie gave up on Xie Mingyuan, but he would definitely save himself. Therefore, he would definitely not let go of the chance to seek help from the Zhao family.

"Still collecting money."

This is interesting!

Jiang Hao didn't quite understand the relationship between the Zhao family and the Xie family, but she grasped the important information.

The Zhao family is very likely to use money to save Xie Mingyuan's life.

Jiang Hao silently glanced at the silver moved from Xie Mingyuan's house into the space, and felt happy.

However, if the man surnamed Zhao really paid money to save Xie Mingyuan, wouldn’t he be able to escape again?

No!

"Sir, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. You guys continue chatting. I'm leaving first. Goodbye."

Jiang Hao stood up, smiled at a few people, and then left.

After the others left, Zhuifeng continued to report.

Xu Xing didn't want to listen any further, just wanted to understand the general reason.

His Majesty has spared Xie Mingyuan again and again. It is very likely that Conanxin sold Zhao Xingyu to His Majesty to ask for forgiveness and make amends.

However, I don’t know how much of the 1.5 million taels of silver Xie Mingyuan will be short of before midnight.

As midnight was getting closer, the officials who had been rushing to collect the money breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the money is paid, everything will be fine.

As long as you are alive, you will have money.

……

The night enveloped the earth, and all the white lanterns in the Xie Mansion were lit.

Jiang Hao sneaked into Xie's house in night clothes.

Xie Mingyuan looked at the banknotes on the table and the silver in the room, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

There are a total of three million taels here, one and a half million of which is his punishment, and the other one and a half million is the Zhao family's gift to His Majesty.

His life was saved.

"Master, why hasn't the imperial envoy arrived yet?"

Qin's right eyelid twitched violently and she felt restless.

Xie Mingyuan didn't know why, but now that he was personally guarding several million taels of silver, he didn't worry about anything going wrong.

"Maybe something delayed me."

Xie Mingyuan responded, his face purple: "The Zhao family has spent money to avoid disaster, and the young man has learned a lesson."

However, the price paid for this lesson was a bit high.

It's not just about the money.

As the couple was talking, they felt sleepy gradually coming over them. After yawning a few times, they both fell asleep.
