The Retirement of the Demon Lord

It was Dong Shengrui's big failure to arrange for a bright and upright force in uniform to be the secret whistle.

Mei Qianxiao was able to find the dark whistle. He believed that the robbers could also find it. At first glance, he knew that the officials of the government were quietly checking the post. Who would let the tribute pass there?

No, if Dong Shengrui did it on purpose, wouldn't he force the robbers to take the road of the desert of death? This... Mei Qianxiao didn't know if Dong Shengrui was deliberately using this method to force the other party to choose to go to the desert of death and find the Jingsha Gang... Anyway, it was a crooked fight.

"Hey, don't start talking and don't talk after you're bragging."

Tingfeng poked the dazed Mei Qianxiao with her fingers, but she was immediately clapped by her sister Yixue and taught her not to touch dirty things...

Hey, don't call others dirty while they think about things! Brother, as long as you can, wash it at least once a month!

"Qianxiao is really thoughtful, but I, as the captain, didn't find such a conspicuous arrangement by Director Dong, I'm ashamed." Jiang Hao said suddenly.

Don't be ashamed of us, be ashamed of your dead brothers... Every time you go out on a mission, you will die. Brother has long given no hope for your IQ.

"Brother Xiao, don't blame yourself. Even the locals of the Whale Sand Gang don't know their identities even if they are locals in the Western Regions and Dunhuang City, not to mention Brother Xiao who is handling the case in the Central Plains." Mei Qianxiao tried her best to keep her expression on her face. Don't betray the fact that you are scolding him for being brainless, comforting.

"Then how did you know about the existence of the Whale Sand Gang?" Yixue questioned.

This Mei Qianxiao knew too many secrets that outsiders didn't know, and Yixue began to doubt his origin.

"It's a long story. I know the customs of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions. It can be said that I am grateful to the Jingsha Gang. My trip to the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions set sail at the headquarters of the Jingsha Gang. ...It's all because of me, he meows with the wrong caravan!"

Back then, his master brought him to Dunhuang to relax and earn a little money. When he went back, his master started to be rude again. He took him into a caravan, intending to cheat food and drink and go home for free. This **** actually sneaked into the team that the Jingsha Gang came to purchase in Dunhuang City, and they naturally returned to the Jingsha Gang's station with the team.

Speaking of which, he couldn’t help laughing and laughing. He and his master spent two days in the Jingsha Gang’s station. None of the Jingsha Gang’s people were found to be outsiders. , or the brain is really stupid.

It was only on the third day that his master was exposed. He drank all the good wine in the secret warehouse where the Jingsha Gang gang master hid good things. If he was not discovered, there would be ghosts. What if it was discovered? Run away! Hey, no, he fled when he was found out because he was in debt. These guys were smuggling, and he didn't owe any debts. I ran away! Of course black eats black!

A small smuggling gang like the Jingsha Gang is no match for you. You can beat up as much as you want. Some people don't accept it and beat them. The next day, his master sat in the position of the leader, the leader on his left poured the wine himself, and the deputy leader on the right fan fanned himself. Everything about the Whale Sand Gang was naturally explained one by one, and Mei Qianxiao, who was beside him, could understand it.

I spent another three days and three nights playing at the Whale Sand Gang's station, and exhausted all the good things that the gang master had kept, so you can go home happily with a smile on your face. There was a little accident here. Mei Qianxiao got on the wrong motorcade that went to the Western Regions, and you all followed the motorcade back to the Central Plains, which made Mei Qianxiao wander around the Western Regions and learned so much. The customs of the Western Regions.

Otherwise, I really thought he had been begging for food in the Western Regions for many years and would come out with information from the Western Regions! Purely because of the wrong carriage!

"Anyway, I cheated and got into a caravan once, but it turned out to be the purchase team of the whale sand gang, so I had some contact with the whale sand gang. Before being silenced, I managed to escape back. Mei Qianxiao vaguely brought back the unbearable past, and sighed, "This whale sand gang used to be a horse thief nearby, and is very familiar with the nearby desert. Later, they got a doorway to smuggle official salt, so they started smuggling in the desert of death. , not a horse thief."

"Since Mr. Dong knows that there are such a group of smugglers, why didn't he bring someone to arrest them?" Yixue's old problem of being upright and arrogant was committed again.

Ever since she heard that the smugglers are smugglers, now she will be furious when she hears the word "smugglers".

"Since Director Dong said the words 'Jingsha Gang', then if you know their origins, you naturally know that these people cannot be arrested."

"Why?" Jiang Hao frowned, with a smile that made him sound uncomfortable as if Dong Shengrui was colluding with a horse thief.

"It's good for you to know this, don't publicize it, or we will all be silenced. Everyone is in the court, so I'm not afraid to tell you, because these smugglers ... are privately wooed and established by the court. ."

"What?" "You are talking nonsense, it's impossible!"

Both Tingfeng and Yixue slapped the table hard, stood up, and poked their two jade fingers at Mei Qianxiao's forehead.

"Two heroines, you might as well think about it, they are just a group of smugglers from horse thieves~www.wuxiahere.com~ Where can you get so much salt? Our salt is monopolized by the government, only official salt and no private salt. If someone is found to be stealing illicit salt, it would be a capital crime of raiding a home."

"This..." The two women were stunned for a while. They stayed in the palace all the year round. How could they have so much experience in the world to think about how they could get so much salt. After thinking about it for a long time, they only got two pairs of confused eyes.

"You don't understand, right? It's called politics... The ruler's methods are not all glamorous, there are many gray methods, or black methods. Just because you can't see it doesn't mean you don't have it, it's just that you have no way of knowing it."

"Brother Xiao, what does this have to do with politics? What is the benefit of the court smuggling its own official salt?"

Liu Quietly has a pure mind. She is neither a princess nor has she received any kind of favor from the imperial court, so she looks at the problem directly and simply without any emotional bias. As soon as she asks it, she asks the core question.

"Of course it's good. Brother didn't say before that Queen Loulan and I have a good relationship with each other, and they have shown enough sincerity to each other, so there is no place to protect the frontier with the four martial arts of the country? This smuggling of official salt is the imperial court's win over the Western Regions. One of the sincerity of the Thirty-six Nations."

"Queen Loulan is willing to make good friends with the Central Plains, not to start wars, the price is salt?" After all, Jiang Hao had been in the official family for many years, and she still had a little political consciousness, so she immediately thought of this.

"This is one of the important aspects. Loulan led the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions to surrender to the Central Plains, and the court tacitly agreed to support the officials and salt of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions, each in their own right, mutual benefit and mutual assistance. In politics, the relationship maintained by interests is sometimes better than the so-called oath. It’s still impregnable, so there must be a reason why the sage trusts the neighbors in the Western Xinjiang more.”

"Then why use smuggling? Isn't it bad to do business directly?" Yixue and Tingfeng both sat down, feeling a little complicated.
