Seeing that Lu Peng and Zhao Yun were puzzled by their arrangements, Ding Li actually began to educate the two, "In fact, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, nothing can be done overnight, taking your time is the last word." Then tilted his head and looked at Lu Peng: "Actually, I also know the general's ambitions, but if I still use the general's methods to do things, I can only do half the work, in this world, the family is the foundation of life." Then he pointed to the salt farmers who were swarming outside: "They are but untouchables, but they are only grass mustards, they can be used by us, but relying on them will never achieve great things." ”

Lu Peng held the wine glass, looked at this person who really surprised him, and asked with a smile: "You should also know what I think now, and I don't want to hide it from you at all, in order to win the hearts of the people, the best way for me is to cut you with a knife." ”

As a result, this Ding Li suddenly smiled slightly, and pointed to the trembling salt prison opposite: "General, if you want to establish authority in the salt field and win the hearts of the people, you shouldn't kill me, because I'm a bystander, you should kill this salt prison, he is the culprit." ”

At this time, this salt supervisor was so frightened that he was full of and urine, and he definitely didn't expect that his respectful and respectful master just now would give him up so lightly.

Lu Peng took the bowl of warm wine, squinted at this Ding Li and asked: "The one who controls the entire salt field is the power of your Ding family, wouldn't it be better for me to kill you to win people's hearts?" ”

As a result, this Ding Li put down the wine bowl gently, and said to Lu Peng with a smile: "The entire salt farm is indeed owned by the Ding family, but according to legal procedures, the salt farm is under the supervision of this salt, if you kill me, you will not only offend the Ding family, but also offend the Ding Yuan assassination history in the state, weighing the pros and cons, it is also to calm the anger of the salt households, killing a small salt prison may be more cost-effective for you." ”

The reason and logic are indeed very correct, if you really kill Ding Li, you will offend a very powerful force, but you can also get the same purpose by killing a salt prisoner, who is light and who is heavy, in fact, it is clear at a glance.

Ding Li continued to analyze him: "Now the pattern of the world has changed, your backer Youzhou is too shou Liu Yan, and he is about to go to Yizhou to be the pastor of Yizhou, and the new state pastor will not necessarily become your backer, and I think the general has the ambition of the bird, and wants to gain a firm foothold in Youzhou, the family is your best stable foundation, if you kill me, it is equivalent to becoming a mortal enemy with the Ding family, and the Ding family has absolute influence in Youzhou, and the trade-off, I think the general will not understand, I will throw out a dog now to calm the anger of the people!" It also gives you momentum, why don't we do it? ”

Lu Peng squinted at the salt prison who was already scared of feces and urine: "What if I don't?" ”

The two of them were so plain and interested, talking about the life and death of a five-rank official in the imperial court, this scene was really weird.

Lu Peng understood that this Ding Li kept saying that he wanted to kill this salt prison and buy the heart of the salt household, and he looked like he was making suggestions for himself, but in fact, he was harming himself, as long as he killed the court officials, don't say that the court would not allow it, even Liu Yan would definitely not allow it, at that time, he could only break with the court immediately, which Lu Peng must not do now.

Ding Li and Lu Peng wasted so many words, it was not for their own safe escape, as long as they kept their lives, there would be a chance for anything in the future.

"If this is the case, General Lu, you can think about yourself, and I don't want to talk much about the rest." Having said this, Ding Li directly got up and bowed to Lu Peng and said, "I also borrow the general's corporaries." ”

Now Lu Peng is watching this Ding Li perform with interest, this person does make Lu Peng feel oppressed, every word of this person is tricking himself, trapping himself, so that he can't kill him ruthlessly.

Killing a fifth-grade official of the imperial court is jealous, but killing a white-bodied slave of the Ding family definitely has this determination, but every word is trapped by him, so let's see him continue to perform. ，

In response to his request, Lu Peng reclined and waved his hand: "I will bring two hundred soldiers this time, and you will command them."

Ding Li stood up, gave Lu Peng a deep salute, and then walked out directly and high-spirited, Ding Li's appearance made the people who were originally looking forward to the bowl of hot porridge have a riot.

Some people retreated in fear, while more people knelt on the ground in horror, kowtowing violently to Ding Li, and begging for mercy again and again.

Ding Li walked to the almsgiving porridge shack, personally helped the people who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, and then took the hand of a thin girl, with a warm smile as if pulling his granddaughter, and said loudly to the black salt farmers who came to receive relief: "I'm sorry for the old folks, our Ding family has participated in the salt farm for more than ten years, and has received strong support from your fellow villagers, however, these slaves of our Ding family have become a scourge in the local area over time, under the bewitchment of that hateful salt supervisor, I am a white cloth, There is no way to deal with the officials of the imperial court, but I am the head of the Ding family here, and I do have a means to deal with the evil of the slaves of the Ding family. ”

Then he turned around and said lightly to Xi Zhen, who had just been sent to his subordinates: "Cut down my evil slaves directly, and give these fathers and villagers an explanation." ”

Lu Peng's personal guards, who had long been ready to go, rushed forward without saying a word, and stabbed those evil slaves standing in the corner with a series of guns, and for a while the yard screamed again and again, and in the blink of an eye, there was no sound, and those evil slaves who oppressed the people died in a blink of an eye.

Countless people were shocked and frightened at first when they saw such a scene, and then they were very happy, and they rushed forward, punching and kicking those dead villains, venting their resentment in their hearts, until the corpses of those evil slaves turned into a pile of flesh.

Lu Peng stood on the steps, watching this performance side by side with Zhao Yun, with an expressionless face.

At this time, I don't know which person it was, the first one knelt on the ground and shouted kowtow to Ding Li: "Master Ding is blessed with Qitian, and Master Ding is the Marquis of Wandai." ”

Xi Zhen was stunned, yes, he saw a scene that he definitely didn't expect, that is, the people who were oppressed by the Ding family's forces led by Ding Li, at this time, actually bowed down and kowtowed to this wicked leader.

Zhao Yun was very pleased, it was a great sense of accomplishment to see that a person could change from evil to good, and at this time, he felt a sense of accomplishment that he had prevented Lu Peng from killing Ding Li in the first place.

Lu Peng shook his head gently, patted Zhao Yun gently, and then slowly turned around and walked into the lobby.
