Chapter Twenty-Eight: Tens of Thousands of Stove Households

I saw that the hundreds of stove men pressed up violently, and the leader of the Wang family even pulled out the Pu knife and rushed over with a hideous face, scolding and scolding in his mouth, looking like he wanted to eat people.

On this side, Zhang Xiaojun and Yan Hu each issued an order to prepare for the battle, and the three sentinels were on alert, ready to rush up for a bloody battle at any time.

Liu Juntao also silently pulled out his long knife, stared closely at the leading Wang family, and was ready to find an opportunity to kill him after the battle.

Suddenly, Liu Juntao found that the two men in front of the hundreds of stove households did not seem to be active, without exception, they were all frowning and their faces were tense.

Seeing this, an idea suddenly popped up in Liu Juntao's heart.

So, Liu Juntao shouted loudly: "The leading man on the other side, did you report your name before the fight!" ”

When the two leading men heard this, they all stopped, and the hundreds of stove households behind the two also stopped one after another, and they all looked at the two leading men, leaving only the Wang family to move forward alone.

"What are you doing! Think it's the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Will you still report your name? Less nonsense, kill me! ”

However, no matter how the Wang family shouted, the two leading men also ignored it, just looked at Liu Juntao thoughtfully.

"You guessed it!"

Seeing this, Liu Juntao secretly cheered in his heart, and he had a plan.

"My name is Chen Ziping, and his name is Gao Ran!"

Chen Ziping said loudly: "What is your name?" Are you guys from Yushanji? You are also bold, why do you have to get along with the Wang family? ”

Liu Juntao replied loudly: "My name is Liu Juntao!" It's not that my Yushanji deliberately can't get along with the Wang family, but that the Wang family oppresses my Yushanji folks, robbing and robbing people! That's why I'm fighting back! I see that you men want people and powerful people, why do you want to be a tiger and act as a thug for the royal family? So what benefits did the Wang family give you? ”

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran's faces turned red when they heard this, and a trace of resentment appeared on their faces, and they both glanced at the Wang family, and saw that the Wang family's heart was empty.

"The Wang family of Slip Town is not something you can afford to provoke in Yushanji! There is no grudge between the two of us, listen to my advice, today you leave these goods, we can let you go, but in the future, the Wang family will trouble you again, that is your own business! ”

As soon as Chen Ziping's words fell, the Wang family rushed up angrily, slapped him over, hit Chen Ziping's face hard, and roared angrily: "Lao Tzu asked you to kill people, not let you do favors!" Less damn bullshit, kill me! ”

Gao Ran on the side was immediately furious when he saw this, and he was about to cut down the Wang family with the ox head knife in his hand, and the hundreds of stove men behind him were also angry, and they glared at him, and many people were scolding.

Seeing this, the Wang family realized that his actions just now were a little impulsive, and he took two steps back and said to himself: "Don't forget, this is the Wang family's business!" And after the deed is done, all these goods will be yours! ”

That Chen Ziping's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word, obviously weighing the pros and cons, and hesitated for a while. After all, on the one hand, there is the Wang family, which is invincible, but has always oppressed itself, and on the other hand, there is the newly rising Yushan Collection, which easily wiped out dozens of members of the Wang family, and neither side is easy to mess with.

Chen Ziping knew in his heart: Once he made the wrong choice, he and hundreds of brothers behind him would suffer!

Don't look at the hundreds of stove men, but all of them are hard-working people, and most of them are old and young. On weekdays, everyone can only live in a group in the reeds, not only lacking food and clothing, and having no fixed place to live, but also being oppressed by salt lords and bandits from all sides, which can be described as extremely difficult.

Moreover, the reason why there are such large reeds in the area of Dongping Lake and Yushan is because the imperial court ordered that the people near the reeds are not allowed to cultivate farmland here, nor are they allowed to harvest reeds for their own use, because these reeds are used by the government as fuel for boiling official salt!

That is to say, the government will also mobilize people from time to time to sweep and investigate, and at that time, these stove households hiding in it will be chased to the sky and have no way out, or they will be arrested and imprisoned, and their families will be ruined!

It is precisely because of this that Chen Ziping held back the anger in his heart, stopped the impulsive Gao Ran, was silent for a while, and then said to the Wang family: "Since we came with you, it is to give you the face of the Wang family, but I want our brothers to work hard for the Wang family and send them to death, I'm sorry!" My lives and those of these hundreds of brothers are not so cheap! ”

After speaking, without waiting for the Wang family to speak, Chen Ziping called two men to tie up the family.

"But don't worry, we won't ask for a penny of these goods, and after we take them back, we will bring them back to the Wang family to pay off, which can be regarded as an explanation for the Wang family!" As for the grievances and grievances between you, it's better for you to go shopping on your own, we don't want to ask about it, and don't involve our brothers! ”

After Chen Ziping finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the scolding Wang family, but Gao Ran on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, and punched him, and immediately knocked the Wang family unconscious.

"Lao Tzu makes you noisy again!"

Chen Ziping didn't stop him, but said loudly to Liu Juntao: "How is it? Do you leave your possessions and walk away, or do we compare and match and decide the winner? ”

Liu Juntao saw all this scene just now, and he was even more sure of his guess: these stove households and the Wang family are not of the same mind at all, but they were forced too much by the Wang family, and they came to the scene because of the prestige of the Wang family!

"I won't leave the goods! The Wang family robbed my Yushanji of the money and grain, and beat the people of my Yushanji, these goods are considered compensation! ”

Liu Juntao continued in a loud voice: "But I see that you are also a man, so I will send you a few words: You stove households have so many people, and you still control the private salt boiling of the reeds in the Dongping Lake area, why are you willing to be oppressed by the Wang family and let others drive you!" Manly man, it's too humiliating to think of you like this! ”

"Humph! You know a! ”

Gao Ran, who had never spoken out, said loudly: "Without the Wang family, we can't sell even if we boil more private salt, we can only starve to death!" In this Yanzhou Mansion, without the permission of the Wang family, no one would dare to buy the private salt we boiled, and then our brothers and the whole family would have to starve to death! ”

Chen Ziping also said: "Moreover, there are even greater heroes behind the Wang family, these heroes are all united in the same breath, and they move the whole body, just like a big mountain, we ordinary people are unshakable!" I advise you Yushanji not to be delusional, obediently leave your goods, and go back to think about how to apologize to the Wang family! ”

Liu Juntao laughed when he heard this, took two steps forward, and then waved his finger at the more than 120 young men behind him, and said loudly: "Let's go and apologize to the Wang family?" Joke! I have these brothers who live and die together, and I am not afraid of any heroism! Even if he wants to bow his head, it is his Wang family who bows to my Yushan set! ”

Zhang Xiaojun, Yan Hu and the one hundred and twenty-six young men behind them were all enthusiastic when they heard this, and they were even more proud, feeling that they dared to confront a salt lord and a strong man like the Wang family, and they were far more bloody than the hundreds of stove men opposite!

"Chen Ziping, Gao Ran, right? Today I see that you are also a man, and I advise you not to work for the Wang family anymore, because the Wang family's life is not long in coming! I, Yushanji, will fight with the Wang family endlessly, waiting for the Wang family to have only one fate, that is, perdition! ”

Chen Ziping and Gao Ran were shocked at this time, and the hundreds of stove men behind the two were even more surprised, and they all whispered, everyone had never seen a person who dared to fight hard with a salt lord like the Wang family!

However, Chen Ziping remembered something again, so he said coldly: "Hmph! Although the Wang family is not a thing, it has also given us a bite to eat so that we can live. If there is no Wang family, who will sell the private salt we boil? Dozens of miles of reeds around Dongping Lake are about to drink the northwest wind! ”

"When the Wang family is defeated, I will take over the sale of the private salt boiled by you stove households in the future! All of them are purchased by my Yushan Collection! Moreover, I can assure you that in the future, the price at which I Yushanji will buy illicit salt from you will definitely be higher than that of the Wang family! And I, Yushanji, am not the Wang family, and I will never do those bullying things! ”

In fact, when the 20 sacks of illicit salt were found at the abandoned post station last night, Liu Juntao had already intended to intervene in the smuggling salt business.

You must know that in the Ming Dynasty at this time, the profits of this private salt business are very considerable, which is equivalent to drug trafficking in later generations!

What's more, mastering the illegal salt sales channels in the Dongping Lake area is equivalent to controlling the hundreds of stove households in front of him, and Liu Juntao can gather hundreds of young and strong men from these stove households, which is a big force! For Liu Juntao, who is ready to make a career, how can he give up such a big help?

"Humph! Your name is Liu Juntao, right? I think you're too self-conscious! Do you know how many stove households are in the reeds around Dongping Lake? There are tens of thousands of households! These people all rely on the Wang family and the Liu family behind them to survive, if you destroy the Wang family and offend the Liu family, it will be equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of these tens of thousands of stove households, when the time comes, not only the Wang family will beat you, the Liu family will beat you, even the tens of thousands of stove households will not let you go Yushan Ji! ”

Originally, Liu Juntao thought that the stove households controlled by the Wang family were only a few hundred people in front of him, but he never expected that tens of thousands of households would be implicated!

Hearing this, Liu Juntao immediately laughed out loud and said loudly: "No matter how many of you there are, I can eat it!" In the future, I will replace the Wang family, and I will definitely increase the price of buying illicit salt from you by 10%!" What do you think? Do you want to bet with me! ”
