Chapter 171 Chapter 170
Guo Hao's movements were too fast and too sudden. The people from the Salt Gang had no time to react and had already let Guo Hao escape.
Such a blatant salt sales and such a large amount were obviously prepared, so Guo Hao did not dare to fight and ran back to the station quickly.
Seeing Guo Hao's back, a boatman squinted his eyes, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in his eyes. It was the one who rowed Kong Mingyue.
"Come here, go and tell the lady, and say that something we are worried about has happened. Let him make a decision early. I will send someone to stop him first!"
"yes!"
The Salt Gang made arrangements, and Guo Hao also responded.
"Let's go, pack up your things immediately. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We need to arrive in Chenzhou as soon as possible!"
Guo Hao immediately led everyone to set off, not saying why, but he knew in his heart that there was no village or shop in front of him, and his followers and a few postmen could not fight against the desperate.
So he had to arrive in Chenzhou as soon as possible, mobilize Chenzhou's troops and then deal with the private salt dealers. If they didn't chase him, Guo Hao might have dealt with them later, but judging from their attitude at that time, if Guo Hao hadn't run fast, he might not have come back.
The group set out again, and Kong Mingyue also received news that in order not to let Guo Hao discover anything, she had already changed a dock. The dock was very remote and few tourists went anywhere.
But Guo Hao still went to such a dock, which means he came for them. For the safety of the brothers in the gang, she could not hesitate.
"Send someone to stop him immediately, but don't hurt him. He is an official of Zhou after all, so we can't do it here!"
At Kong Mingyue's order, the salt disciples went out in full swing, and about a hundred people took shortcuts to chase Guo Hao. Guo Hao was actually wronged. He just wanted to find a place where no one was.
"Stop, where to go!"
Not long after, Guo Hao and his group were stopped. Seeing that there were only about twenty people in front, Guo Hao whispered to Li Hui: "You will take your wife away later. I will come to the palace. These people are not bandits and robbers, and I will be fine!"
"yes!"
Li Hui knew Guo Hao's skills, so he did not hesitate. Guo Hao did not delay. He picked up the stick and waved his hand: "Go!" The two waves of people fought together.
Although the disciples of the Salt Gang are desperate people, Guo Hao led all the elites of the Beggars' Sect. In addition, Guo Hao was extremely brave and quickly opened a gap.
"Let's go, don't worry about me, I'll stop them!"
Guo Hao shouted loudly and asked Li Hui to take Qiu Nan away first. Li Hui put the weapon aside and drove the car himself. Guo Hao led the horse behind him and stopped the remaining people with one stick.
"Be there, hurry!"
As soon as Li Hui and the others left, Kong Mingyue had already arrived, and about a hundred people ran out from all directions and surrounded Guo Hao.
Kong Mingyue walked out of the crowd, and her white clothes were very conspicuous among the civilians. Her beautiful face was also out of place with these people. Guo Hao looked at her with some complexity.
"Mr. Guo, we meet again."
Kong Mingyue smiled sweetly, as if both sides were not enemies, but old friends gathered.
"It turned out to be you, no wonder you often appear at the dock. It turned out to be doing this kind of thing. I was surprised before, but now Guo understands it all."
"Just understand, Mingyue, who saved me, explained that I didn't want to be an enemy of the young master, but my son and Mingyue couldn't get along."
"If I say this is a misunderstanding, do you believe it?"
After Guo Hao finished speaking, Kong Mingyue smiled slightly: "I believe in the young master, but I want to be responsible for my brothers, so I have to feel wronged."
"Please!"
After Kong Mingyue finished speaking, the boatman made a gesture of invitation and looked at the people around him. Some of them were holding knives in their hands, so it was not that easy to run away.
After jumping and falling, Guo Hao threw the stick in his hand to the ground, then loosened the reins, tidied up his clothes, and walked forward with his head held high and his chest.
Kong Mingyue nodded to the boatman, and immediately someone chased him on a horse. Guo Hao, the leader, caught him, but Qiunan and the others ran away, so they had to stop him.
Guo Hao was taken to a boat, and there was a unique world in the cabin. As soon as you entered the door, you could smell a faint fragrance. It seemed to be a woman's boudoir.
"Mr. Guo, Mingyue invited her twice, but she was interrupted by Mrs. Zun. There is no one else here, so we can have a good talk!"
Kong Mingyue's attitude surprised Guo Hao. Now there are people from the Salt Gang outside, so it is not easy for Guo Hao to run away.
But Kong Mingyue shut down the others and said, "Mr. Guo obviously recognized him." Guo Hao is not an ordinary civil servant."
"Miss Mingyue, since you know my identity and dare to get along with me alone, aren't you afraid that I will hold you hostage and let your group of men be afraid of the rats?"
Guo Hao asked tentatively, but Kong Mingyue smiled and said, "I don't believe that a well-educated man who can write about "Looking for him in his dreams for thousands of times" would use such despicable means.
Lord Guo, Mingyue has no malice. In fact, after I learned about the deeds of my parents, I always wanted to make friends with him, but Mrs. Zun never gave her a chance."
The Salt Gang is indeed not simple. He found out Guo Hao's background so quickly, but Guo Hao naturally would not be proud of it. If he could determine a person with a few poems, then he would be too simple.
"Miss Mingyue said, Guo doesn't understand very well."
"Mr. Guo doesn't need to hide it. Although Shu is a distance from Tang, it is not difficult to inquire about Mr. Guo's deeds in Huainan."
Guo Hao was speechless when he heard this. In fact, he originally wanted to be low-key, but Juxian Pavilion wanted to promote it. So several of Guo Hao's poems were widely circulated in Jiangnan. Some people may not know him, but they all know his poems.
"Since the girl intends to make friends with Guo, why don't she say it explicitly, but instead invite Guo with this method!"
Guo Hao said the word "please" very seriously to express his dissatisfaction. Kong Mingyue stood up and bowed: "I would like to forgive my offense if I offend you."
Kong Mingyue apologized again, and Guo Hao couldn't say anything else. After all, he is in other people's territory now, and it's too artificial to seek death.
"Miss Mingyue, since you want to make friends with me, just say anything. I don't know the situation and must be very worried.
I have asked him to go to Chenzhou to dispatch troops. If it is too late, it may cause misunderstandings and will not be good to you or me at that time."
Guo Hao's threat was obvious, but Kong Mingyue was not worried at all and smiled and said, "My Lord Guo, Mingyue is very clear about what we do. Even if we don't go to dispatch troops, the government will not let us go.
And the adults went south this time, probably to investigate us. In fact, we are very pitiful. Many people cannot eat after years of disaster. If we don’t do anything, we will have to starve to death.”
Guo Hao didn't believe it at all when he said they were starved to death. Whether it was Kong Mingyue's wear or the decoration in the cabin, it all showed that Kong Mingyue's family was in a very good condition.
The temperament that Kong Mingyue showed was not something that ordinary women could possess. Guo Hao didn't know that they were the Salt Gang and thought they were a big family in the south.
"Poor? Most of the money you earn from selling salt is probably in your pocket. You keep calling those civilian brothers, but in fact you don't treat them as human beings at all!"
Guo Hao's words may be a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed a true portrayal of the feudal era. Even if it is the Beggars' Sect, some helmsmans will find it difficult to maintain their duties after they have the power.
"My wife Guo's words are not agreed with Mingyue. If Mr. Guo doesn't believe it, you can go and inquire. The salt gang has appeared since the Qin and Han dynasties. Although some borers and scums have always put morality first.
The little girl is like a woman. How can he command so many brothers? It’s not that we are justified, otherwise who would believe us!”
Kong Mingyue defended herself, while Guo Hao was shocked.
"Salt Gang??!"
I originally encountered a salt owl, but I didn't expect it to be the Salt Gang. The Salt Gang did appear in the Qin and Han Dynasties. At the beginning, the government recognized their legitimacy.
However, because of the corruption of officials and collusion between officials and businessmen violated the interests of the court, the court ordered a ban, but the phenomenon of private salt traffic was never stopped.
From ancient times to the present, many heroes have been born in private salt trading, the most famous of which is Zhang Shicheng, who once caused a lot of trouble for Zhu Yuanzhang.
It’s a pity that Zhang Shicheng has no ambitions and wants to settle down in a corner, so Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wouldn’t let him exist. It took a lot of effort to deal with him.
