Chapter 248 Behind Aoshan

A salt farm has not produced any salt for so many days, and the sea salt inside has accumulated like mountains. At the same time, the salt households have not had any income for a long time, and there is a faint decline in the entire salt farm. In other words, because Jiang Feng's private salt order is better, Aoshan Salt Field has become poor again.

Of course, in the salt field, Luo Yi and Yang Shitou's men could not find any desperadoes or salt owls who were trafficking in private salt. This period of time has been blocked so tightly. Except for the birds in the world, who will come to sell salt? Don't you want to live?

In addition to being frightened, the people from Aoshan Salt Field or the garrison were also very surprised, because there were many large and small vehicles behind Luo Yi and Yang Shitou's troops, and many familiar faces were all private salt dealers and official salt merchants who bought salt here on weekdays.

After a storm of searches, nothing was found. As for the corpses after the attacks of the pirates, they were naturally incinerated in the salt field some time ago, but there were not many magical people in the salt field, and there were no people who were injured and recovered.

This lie that can be exposed at once made Yanke feel uneasy, for fear that these vicious people would take this matter out and provoke it.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the reports from his subordinates, Luo Yi and Yang Shitou directly put the vehicles and salt merchants outside in. Luo Yi stood at a high place and said loudly:

"Famous people, these sea salts are the source of wealth for the desperate. In order to avoid those desperate who intend to resist the imperial court's laws relying on these sea salts to exchange for weapons to poison the place. At the same time, it is too unsafe to put these sea salts here, so they just disperse them. You can take advantage of the salt in your hands."

With salt quotations and jokes, when will the private salt transactions in the Ming Dynasty be calculated based on salt quotations? These salt merchants outside had already received news before following Luo Yi and Yang Shitou. This time the salt was considered a special offer, which was half of the salt price set by Jiang Feng and Huang Ping this year.

This is a huge advantage. Now Jiang Feng and Huang Ping are in control more and more strict. After the four camps were established, the major transportation routes and green forest villages in various places were even more strict with the salt transportation. Although the wife made money in moderation, the huge profits back then were too little - they didn't remember to lose a lot.

For a few salt owls, it is meaningless to do such a business. This time it was a big reward for guests. Each company was excited. Many big businesses who didn't care about this little money also sent their shopkeepers to buy them, and they were very interested in joining in the fun and celebrating the festival.

After hearing Luo Yi say this, the people below agreed and came over to maintain order by the soldiers. Huang Ping's own salt merchant directly set up a salt bucket in front of the salt warehouse door, and then he started selling.

Before Aoshan's salt course was in full swing, it was already selling it here. There were dozens of Ding Zhuang in the salt field, but how could these people dare to fight against the soldiers of Shijiu Camp and Wendeng Camp, which were holding weapons and holding murderous weapons. As for the officers and soldiers of Aoshan Guard, they were not as good as Ding Zhuang.

Yanke, who had been smiling and following Zhang Liang, was suddenly anxious and rushed to Luo Yi. The guards beside Luo Yi suddenly pulled out the sword in their hands. Yanke was originally a civil servant, and he was very timid. He immediately stood there pale and dared not move.

But he still begged:

"Mr. Luo, these are all sea salt sold by the imperial court. It would be a serious crime for you to trade so unauthorizedly!!"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Shitou beside Luo Yi was already angry and shouting:

"Damn it, what are you talking nonsense? My guerrillas have already reported that Chen Shizi's remaining troops heard that the knife was relying on the sea salt from your salt field as a feed to kill the gentry in the harassing place in southern Shandong!"

This is a huge hat, colluding with the thief, and killing the nine clans. Yanke instinctively took a few steps back, but then he thought that something was wrong. If he colluded with the thief, he wouldn't know. He quickly defended and said loudly:

"Two sirs, two sirs, must have been falsely accusing the villain,"

Luo Yi snorted coldly and ignored it, because the reason for the rebellion was only one of the reasons that Jiang Feng told them in the letter. Luo Yi and Yang Shitou did not know that Jiang Feng had sent someone to send the so-called "collusion" evidence to the Shandong Censorate Office. There is no need to fabricate the matter of buying and selling private salt. As for the evidence of collusion with rebels, such things have always been wrong and no way to let them go.

Seeing the huge salt warehouse being bagged and carried onto the truck by the people brought by the salt merchants, although the salt pile was huge, the salt merchants who couldn't help but be excited to pick up the cheap ones. As they were getting smaller, they became more and more anxious. However, the shaking swords, guns and angry soldiers in front of him did not dare to do anything.

Generally speaking, people who have backstage work in the salt field are engaged in salt field, or are arranged to make money in the salt field by a capable backstage, or are arranged to make money in the salt field. Now the white pile of salt is a white silver, if it is a role of making money for others.

Looking at the pile of salt or money in front of me, the collusion and rebels mentioned earlier might be scary, but the pile of salt was evacuated, but the matter was really lost. In desperation, the Aoshan Salt Class was engaged in the work of the salt field without caring about the sewage flowing on the ground of the salt field, and directly knelt down and wailed there:

"See mercy, dear masters. This salt farm is the property of my master, Lord Huang, the Minister of Justice of Nanjing. Please consult with my master..."

Although the salt farm is an industry of the court, it is controlled by a certain noble or a high-ranking official. Although it is said on weekdays, it is a certain salt farm under a certain salt farm in the Salt Transportation Department, but people who are really familiar with the officialdom all say "Some Salt Farm", which is also a so-called common example.

High-ranking officials and nobles often appoint their own slaves or relatives and disciples to manage them as their own source of wealth after obtaining the management of the salt farm.

During Jiang Feng's investigation, Aoshan's salt farm was always controlled by several big merchants from Jimo and Xuejia Island. There was no official background too profound. No one would have thought that a minister of the Ministry of Justice from Nanjing would be brought up.

Luo Yi and Yang Shitou looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. Jiang Feng's letter also said that this time the inspection of the salt field has forced some people into a desperate situation. Some people must have performed more specially. Such a huge loss will probably cause someone to lose their heads.

In the case of dying and desperate situations, some people may say something, especially the false report of the Aoshan Salt Field attacked by Japanese pirates, and may find something.

Sure enough, the salt course in Aoshan Salt Field said a name that everyone is quite unfamiliar with: Mr. Huang, Minister of Justice of Nanjing.

This is Liu Shier's plan for Jiang Feng, which is also a helpless method, because now, except for the assassin from Nanzhili, everything else has been broken. The only abnormal thing in the entire Shandong Province during this period was that the so-called salt field was attacked by pirates, and what was even more wrong was the false report of Aoshan Salt Field.

I can only follow this clue and follow the clue. Jiang Feng also asked, what should I do if I can’t find anything in the salt farm in Aoshan? "Sell the sea salt from Aoshan Salt Farm, we can also make a fortune," Liu Shier said.

Before the news about Aoshan Salt Field had been passed back to Dengzhou, new discoveries were made here. After being turned away that night, the prefect Wang did not fall asleep at all when he returned home. He always remembered the scene of Jiang Feng leading his men to put heads in the courtyard of the government's yamen hall.

The whole body was covered in cold sweat. The prefect Wang didn't believe that Jiang Feng dared to rebel, but he believed that Jiang Feng could definitely take his head, and maybe he would destroy the family.

The next day, he sent someone to give gifts and condolences, but he still didn't even go in. In a frightened state, the prefect Wang had to think of a solution himself. It is difficult to rashly tell him that the Shandong guerrilla Jiangfeng stationed in our city would kill me.

No one would believe it at all, and the benefits of eating Jiang Feng in the past three years are also full of oil. Many of the shortcomings are held in the other party's hands, so let's check it honestly.

To be honest, the prefect Wang knew that there was no problem with his inspection in the countryside, because he was walking downstairs for half a month, so the next problem must be that there was a traitor in the government office. Otherwise, how could the thief have been so coincidental that he started ambushing him when he went out.

After all, the prefect Wang has been an official for so many years. He knows the steadiness and meticulousness of doing things, so he simply uses his family to carefully search these people in the government office without any trace.

However, the searches in Dengzhou City became increasingly strict. At the beginning, there were also those who were traveling around the world. Some people with criminal records thought they had committed their own crime when they saw the investigation by the government army. Some of them were brave enough to run away. They were killed by spears, muskets and bows, and then they were charged with private salt dealers and threw them into the government office to make up for the procedures.

Although they didn't start like that now, the business was still the same, but Zhang Liang brought his troops into the city and strictly guarded all the key points and intersections. These soldiers were elite soldiers who fought for a long time, and their murderous aura was intimidating. The tense atmosphere in Dengzhou City was better and better every day.
