The salt merchants were indeed going crazy, at first they just wanted Zhu Yong to stand on their side and explain to Zhu Di the various drawbacks of the salt official camp.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yong, a reckless man, did not compromise after the incident, let alone accept the threat, and directly killed two salt merchants.
Killing people was cool for a while, but the consequence was to break the last hope in the hearts of the salt merchants.
In Yangzhou Mansion, when the officers and soldiers on duty at the city gate saw the queue in the distance, they immediately stood as straight as a green pine.
Ge Huan, the little flag official, warned: "It's all for Lao Tzu to stand up, Xing Hebo came to Yangzhou Mansion two times ago to kill the heads of the people, this time it is estimated that there will be a river of blood again, if you don't want to be unlucky, you will be honest with Lao Tzu in the near future." ” His subordinates didn't need him to remind them, they all knew that Yangzhou Mansion would stage a dragon fight.
This side is entering the city, and the salt merchants in the city are also gathering.
It's a three-way courtyard, and as a salt merchant, this kind of dwelling is really shabby.
But the owner Miao Chengfu is not shabby at all.
In the spacious front hall, Miao Chengfu sat on the main seat, and next to him was Hu Erwen.
Combined, the net worth of the two of them is estimated to be more than half of the more than ten people here.
Miao Chengfu is a native of Shanxi, and in the early years, he was just a merchant who went to the village.
But his heart and eyes worked, and he gradually opened a shop, and later he didn't know who he had caught up with, but he also got the qualification of a salt merchant.
However, Hu Erwen is a Hui businessman, who looks elegant, but he is decisive in business, and he can be called the leading figure in the two Huai salt merchants.
"Xing Hebo should have arrived, what do you think, is it to listen to orders or fight?"
After Miao Chengfu finished speaking, seeing that everyone was silent, he patted the table and said: "I am waiting to see the crime of Chengguo Gong, if you follow Xinghebo, what do you think?"
” One of the salt merchants below said angrily: "You can kneel down to greet each other, but it was you who encouraged to send women at that time. ” This question hit everyone's worst fear, and Hu Erwen smiled slightly: "Brother Yuan Ren, Your Majesty is the hero. ” Yuan Ren sneered: "What is the male master?
Shopkeeper Hu, you call yourself a scholar, you should know the wrath of the Son of Heaven and the truth of millions of corpses.
At that time, I advised everyone not to do it and leave a way back for themselves. ” "If you had listened to me, why did you do that!"
Yuan Ren's words made these salt merchants a little embarrassed.
"Even if we don't sell salt, where can we go anywhere?
But you are not greedy enough and are reluctant to let go, is this okay?
” Yuan Ren was already furious when he said that he was behind: "That Chengguo Duke is a martial minister, even if His Majesty does not pursue our actions, will he let us go?"
” "No, it won't."
Miao Chengfu said with a gloomy face: "Chengguo Gong was replaced by Xing Hebo, and he will definitely be punished when he goes back, this is a great shame, how can he let us go." ” For a while, the atmosphere in the front hall was bleak, and some of the timid even sat on their chairs, looking colorless.
"But......
We're not running nowhere to go!
” Hu Erwen said calmly.
"Yes!"
Miao Chengfu also lifted his spirits and said: "Let's think about it here today and see what method can be used to wake Fang up......
Soft!
” …… This room was plotting, and Fang Xing had already entered the city, and went straight to the residence last time, which was also where Zhu Yong was currently staying.
The queue marched neatly through the streets, and the people who had already dealt with Fang Xing twice were whispering.
"I'm afraid I'm going to kill a lot of people this time, right?"
The shopkeeper of a rice shop asked casually at the door.
His neighbor, the shopkeeper who sold groceries, shook his head and said: "I don't know, the prince of Chengguo has returned, and Xinghebo will inevitably make those salt merchants obey with the power of thunder, as for whether to kill or not, I see enough." ” "Why?"
"Think about it, if all the salt merchants are arrested, then the salt market in the south will be in chaos, and the shopkeeper below will stay honestly?
That's going to be a big mess!
” The shopkeeper of the rice shop said with a worried face: "If this is the case, I am afraid that I will be involved at that time, or ......
Just close the door and go home, and come out when it calms down. ” The grocery shopkeeper glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Are you stupid, Xing Hebo entered Yangzhou City, if you close the door and go home at this time, if people arrest you for the crime of boycotting the market, you think you can escape." ” "Oooh!
If that's the case, then I still sell rice honestly, as long as I don't get salt, I will definitely not be unlucky. ” Zhu Yong felt that he was very unlucky, so after seeing Fang Xing, his face was not very good.
"Xinghebo, there is nothing to be handed over here, so don't leave it at that."
Fang Xing stood opposite him and smiled: "Is that noble person the Duke of Chengguo?"
” Syllable!
Zhu Yong only felt that his face was hot, as if he had just been slapped by Fang Xing.
He said angrily: "Fang Xing, do you dare to humiliate your father?

” If it weren't for Fang Xing's stirring, maybe the salt would have changed to folded color long ago, and he would have been able to make a fortune at that time.
O villain!
Zhu Yongqiang resisted the urge to punch over, and after snorting coldly, he walked out with the guards.
Fang Xing turned around and said, "Cheng Guogong walks slowly." ” After Zhu Yong left, Fang Xing immediately convened a meeting under his command.
"Lin Qunan, two thousand households, one outside the city and one in the city, have kept an eye on those salt merchants for me, beware of them jumping over the wall in a hurry."
Lin Qunan took the order and asked: "Uncle, the subordinate thinks that it is better to cooperate with the prefect Xiao Zhen, after all, our army is a guest soldier, and he is not familiar with the place and is prone to mistakes." ” Fang Xing nodded and said, "Xiao Zhen should be there soon, and I will naturally consult with him when the time comes, and you will arrange it immediately." ” After Lin Qunan left with the two thousand-household officials, Fang woke up and said, "Your department is full of flintlock rifled muskets, then my safety will be handed over to you." ” "Don't worry, sir, the small ones can be saved."
Fang Wu said confidently, the hundred households under his command had now been replaced with rifled guns, and the range and accuracy directly crushed the previous flintlock pistol.
Fang Xing waved his hand, and Fang Wu led people to arrange security.
The rest of Wang He and Huang Zhong, Wang He said a little impatiently: "Then does Xiao Zhen still dare to take Qiao?"
Aren't you afraid of our family's twists and turns?
” Fang Xing pressed his hand and said lightly: "We are guest soldiers, there is no need to be anxious, as long as Xiao Zhen is not stupid, he naturally does not dare to snub us." ” "Uncle, Lord Xiao, the prefect of Yangzhou, asks to see you."
"Invite him."
Fang woke up, and Wang He muttered, "Xinghebo, we don't have to go to meet him!"
” "Posture still has to be done."
Fang Xing had already seen Xiao Zhen who had been brought in, he walked to the door and said lightly, "Lord Xiao is late." ” Xiao Zhen's face was white and beardless, his face was full of sadness, and he looked like a bitter and hateful look.
He bowed down and said, "I've seen Xinghebo, and the lower official is rude." ” After the two entered, Xiao Zhen saw Wang He's disdain, so he said embarrassedly: "Xiaguan's horse was startled on the road and almost hit the people, so I came late, and I asked Xing Hebo to atone for his sins." ” If you offend anyone, don't offend the prison army who can be tortured, of course Xiao Zhen knows this truth, so he took the opportunity to apologize to Fang Xing and told the reason for his belation.
After sitting down, Fang Xing asked straightforwardly, "Are those salt merchants Lord Xiao familiar with?"
Have you ever received their benefits?
I'm going to tell the truth, or your ex will be your end!
