Zhang Zhun said calmly: "I am wronged? I am wronged you! So what?"

Tang Tonghu hurriedly shouted: "Zhang Zhun, I am Eunuch Gao's man! Those sea salts were sold according to Eunuch Gao's instructions! You dare to be unfavorable to me! Eunuch Gao will not let you go!"

Zhang Zhun did react a little, as if he was obviously hesitant.

He didn't know who Eunuch Gao was.

Zhou Zhengyu whispered: "It's Gao Qiqian."

Zhang Zhun then realized his face, his face a little strange. It turned out that Eunuch Gao was Gao Qiqian! He almost forgot about this old man. Gao Qiqian was a military supervisor in Liaodong, with a high position and a powerful position. All the affairs of the border were in his hands. No wonder Tang Tonghu could sell so much sea salt to the Mongolians, and it turned out that there was a channel for Gao Qiqian.

Gao Qiqian knew that he was selling sea salt to the Mongols, but he was still selling it. Zhang Zhun didn't want to know the rules here, and there was no need to know. For such bad people and things, his approach was usually cut off with one knife. The Ming Dynasty's system was completely bad, and a new system must be restructured.

Tang Tonghu thought Zhang Zhun was afraid of Gao Qiqian, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and hurriedly said, "Zhang Zhun, if you offend Eunuch Gao..."

"Come!"

"Bundle it!"

"Twist the fish into the sea!"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard Zhang Zhun scream coldly.

Two Tiger Army soldiers came up and grabbed Tang Tonghu like wolves and tigers, tied up his limbs with ropes, then dragged them to the edge of the deck, and pushed them directly down. Tang Tonghu yelled desperately, but it was completely useless.

"Plop!"

The waves splashed, and Tang Tonghu's body smashed into the sea water, and then slowly floated up and down. He struggled and floated in the sea water, constantly rising and falling. He wanted to struggle and shout for help, but found that his limbs were tied and could not struggle at all. He wanted to shout for help, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was poured into the sea water. Soon, he disappeared. Finally, the water surface gradually calmed down.

The other fourteen salt merchants suddenly felt cold sweating in their feet. Zhang Zhun was not even afraid of Gao Qiqian. Who else was afraid of? In fact, each salt merchant has his own backstage, and people without backstage cannot do salt business at all. However, the problem now is that their backstage is not as powerful as Gao Qiqian.

Zhang Zhun glanced at all the salt merchants and said coldly: "I have always won people with virtue. You can make some bad money, it's nothing. However, selling salt to the Mongols is to sell it to the Tartars! That is a traitor! It's a traitor! It's a traitor! It's a family to be scouted and destroyed!"

He said righteousness and high-sounding, as if he was the embodiment of justice. However, the salt merchants present were not very distressed. In fact, who had not sold salt to the Mongolians for food? People died for money and birds died for food. The market in Northern Zhili could not digest all the sea salt produced in Changlu Salt Field. The Mongolians offered high prices and abundant profits. How could they not sell it?

What's more, everyone present was wise. Zhang Zhun was just obsessed with the huge profits monopolized by the salt industry and wanted to snatch the business. What was sold to the Mongols, to the Tartars, to the traitors, and to traitors were all Zhang Zhun's excuses. But even if they understood, so what? The Hu Ben Army was powerful and they wanted to survive, so they had to join the Bohai Bay Salt Industry Alliance obediently. Otherwise, you'd just wait to be tortured. So, they all expressed their willingness to join the Bohai Bay Salt Industry Alliance and accept the guidance of the Jingyan Department of the General Affairs Department of the General Administration of the Hu Ben Army.

Zhang Zhun glanced at everyone and said slowly: "Very good! You made the right choice! This time it is a warning! Nothing is the case! If you don't believe in my methods, you can do the same!"

Fourteen salt merchants hurriedly said that they would definitely strictly follow the orders of the Hu Ben Army in the future. The sea salt they produced would be directly managed by the Jing Yan Department. At the same time, if Zhang Zhun had not approved, they would never be sold to the Mongols for half a tael of salt.

Zhang Zhun nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhou Zhengyu: "Let them go!"

The salt merchants were relieved. Their lives were finally recovered.

Zhang Zhun returned to his ship, while Zhou Zhengyu directed his ship and turned around and headed to Leting.

At this time, the naval battle over there had long ended. Two Tianjin Navy warships found something wrong and hurriedly raised the white flag to surrender. Gao Yu and Lu Liangyu took two teams of Marines to control the two ships. Zhang Zhun naturally ordered them to follow Li Jicheng's fleet and sail to Liujiabao Port together.
