Chapter 509 Breaking Through the Cloud Sleeves 4

"...Isn't everyone sticking to their original aspirations?"

Si Yu looked down at Song Zhao, slowly chewing on the words she said, his brows darkened slightly,

"how about you?"

Song Zhao sighed slowly.

"Will you betray me?" Si Yu stared at her with deep and calm eyes. It seemed that there was a sleeping beast hidden inside, so that no one dared to violate her.

Song Zhao said very firmly, "Of course not. What I hate most in my life is betrayal and framing. I will always stand by my brother's side."

Si Yu looked at Song Zhao vigorously, "You said that."

He seemed to feel uneasy, and slowly added, "If you dare to lie to brother... brother will not let you go~"

Song Zhao's heart skipped a beat inexplicably.

Some guilty conscience,

She just assassinated him one after another... It's not considered betrayal and framed...

Pursing her lips, she took two steps back, picked up the herbal tea on the table and drank it, and diverted the conversation, "It is now 100% sure that Yun Xiu is with the group of men in black, and the matter of transporting illegal salt , The county magistrate has always been handing over to you. Among the existing information, the only foreign aid that Yunxiu can contact is the county magistrate. I thought that Yunxiu was already on the same level as the county magistrate."

"How do you know that this was done by the county magistrate?" Si Yu asked with great interest.

Song Zhao's voice was brisk, "Those men in black seem to have come here for personal gain, but they behaved timidly.

If they bomb the warehouse as soon as they come and take away the smuggled salt as soon as possible, we can't do anything about them.

But they chose to make a bet with us in the form of negotiation, which is enough to show that their masters also participated in the private salt trade.

Once you are discovered, you will inevitably confess to the county magistrate, which is why the other party dare not expose it. "

Si Yu smiled, his eyes soft, "Ah Zhao is really smart."

Song Zhao rubbed the tip of his nose and lifted his small chest, "Of course, if I hadn't reminded you this time, something serious would happen to you. You have to remember how good I am to you, you know?"

Si Yu sat down with his robes amused, "I have become a minister under Princess Zhaoyang's skirt... I really don't know how to repay Princess Zhaoyang."

Song Zhao muttered in a low voice, "Whoever asks you to repay, I want you to firmly remember that I didn't only treat you badly for those three times..."

Si Yu looked at her with a smile, "As you said, Yunxiu combined with the magistrate for the purpose of stealing and smuggling salt, but they can take the smuggled salt after bombing the warehouse, bite back and refuse to admit it. Why? You still want to make a bet with us, saying that you will not report on us?"

Song Zhao's frowning brows loosened immediately, and his eyes brightened, "That means... they smuggle salt, but they don't want you to be exposed to the government, because you still have something they want."

Si Yu nodded.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain the superfluous behavior of the men in black... They really want to steal and smuggle salt, but the ultimate goal is to use the smuggled salt as an excuse to get what they want.

In other words, Si Yu had something they wanted to trade.

Si Yu said slowly, "...It seems that we only have to penetrate into the opponent's interior. We must first find out the situation of your fief, and maybe we can find the answer in your fief tax."

The magistrate of Nanxun County smuggled salt, which showed that he had no contractual spirit and was greedy for money. At the same time, he hacked Song Zhao's tax money in order to have a good stockpile.

Those men in black are all capable, and they seem to have been cultivated at a high price.
