Xu Jie can only be a staff officer-type talent, resourceful and indecisive, although he is ruthless, it is just a strategy, and he still can't kill people.

So he could only say to Zhao Yun: "Kill those bastards." ”

Zhao Yun retorted: "Then why don't you do it yourself?" ”

Lu Peng hugged Wan'er and glared at Zhao Yun: "I'm a civilized person, of course I can't always shout and kill, you should do this thing." ”

Zhao Yun went to kill people with disdain.

Orders are like this, you can not listen to them the first time, but as long as you listen to them once, you will slowly get used to obeying them, and everything must be implemented imperceptibly.

It's too difficult to accept a person as a junior brother and a cow as a junior brother.

Walked in front of the man who hugged his sister tightly, looked up and down, although this man was really ragged and thin in winter, shivering in the cold wind, but the expression on his face was still neither humble nor arrogant, seeing Lu Peng coming, he let go of the little sister and gave Lu Peng a salute: "Thank you for saving my brother and sister, and the little Zhang Qiang gave a salute to the adult." ”

Lu Peng was satisfied with his attitude, so he accepted this gift, and then asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang, are you a salt farmer here?" ”

Zhang Qiang replied with a sad face: "Yes, the small generations are salt farmers here. ”

Lu Peng nodded: "I was about to go to the salt field to have a look, but now it's okay, but I met you, the guide, how about I please please show me the way?" ”

Zhang Qiang hurriedly replied: "It's a small honor to lead the way, and I definitely don't dare to be a trouble." "Then I have to carry my little sister. At this time, Wan'er saw that the little girl was dressed in tatters, and she was really pitiful, so she stepped forward and took the little girl's hand: "Is it okay to ride in the car with my sister?" ”

As a result, the little girl was like a frightened lamb, leaning her thin body close to her brother, staring vigilantly at Wan'er with frightened eyes.

Wan'er squatted down and comforted: "They men speak, we don't understand, and we get into the car with the young lady, the car is still warm and delicious." ”

As soon as she heard that it was delicious, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she swallowed her saliva fiercely, and she was very hungry at first glance. But he still held his brother's hand tightly and was terrified.

Zhang Qiang saw that Wan'er was gentle, and Lu Peng was kind and not hostile, especially when he came up, he knocked down the evil slaves of the Ding family, and also agreed that Lu Peng and the others were good people, so he carefully handed over the sister's small hand to the hands of the largest local trafficker: "Sister, you and Miss go to the car to avoid the cold, and I will talk to the general." ”

With her brother's permission, the little girl followed Wan'er into the car step by step, and after a while, the little girl's cheerful laughter came from the car. The child's luxury is very low, just a bite of food, a little warmth, but even this simple luxury, it is difficult to compare with the sky, this is the people in troubled times.

Seeing that this Zhang Qiang was really not wearing words, Lu Peng took off the cloak on Zhao Yun and brought it to him, which made Zhao Yun speechless and Zhang Qiang very moved, so his heart for Lu Peng became closer.

The group stopped riding horses anymore and chatted while walking.

"Why did the Ding family ask you for salt? Still hunting down and killing you? Lu Peng asked seriously. It is necessary to have first-hand information.

When Zhang Qiang heard this, he gritted his teeth angrily and said: "The Ding family is hateful, over the years, relying on Ding Yuan to be the backstage, colluding with the salt supervisor of the salt farm, controlling the entire salt farm, bullying and squeezing the salt farmers in every way, it has really reached the point where people are not allowed to live." ”

"The Ding family has already reached out to the salt field?"

"Not only is it reaching in, now the Ding family is the real master of this salt farm, and the tens of thousands of salt families in this salt field are all slaves of their family, and life and death are determined by his Ding family." Zhang Qiang said hatefully: "For example, just now the adult asked me why I was chased and killed by the Ding family, this is just the most common means for those of us who want to escape." ”

"How did the Ding family do it?"

Zhang Qiang replied: "The Ding family stipulates that we, the salt households, must hand over two stones of good salt every month, and regardless of winter or summer, it is all this standard, which is simply an incompleteable task, even in summer." ”

"Two stones of salt a month, is that a lot?" Lü Peng expressed deep skepticism about the low yield of table salt.

Zhang Qiang replied with a sad face: "Adults don't know, now there is a shortage of firewood around, if you want to get firewood and grass for boiling salt, you have to walk more than ten miles to get it, which is very time-consuming, and in the past few years, the weather is extremely cold, and the sea will freeze all the way, and it is even more difficult to get water from the sea, that is, my village, just this winter, several people have been swallowed by the cracked seashore, so it is even more difficult to boil salt." ”

"And the task of the Ding family can not be delayed at all, and once the salt can not be paid on time, immediately arrest and beat, recently I heard that the Savage Valley not far from here, began to buy a large number of women, so this gang of villains, began to use the women of the salt households to pay off the debt, I don't know how many people in these salt farms are ruined, and their wives are separated."

As soon as he said this, Lu Peng's old face turned red, he really didn't expect that in order to increase the proportion of women in the base area, he came up with a policy of buying women, but it would bring such miserable consequences to the people everywhere, and he was doing evil when he said it.

Zhang Qiang didn't know what Lu Peng was thinking, so he continued to tell his suffering: "It is so difficult to boil salt, but even so, they bought salt from us, and the price was only 50 yuan, 50 yuan is not enough for firewood and grass money, and the iron pot we use to cook salt, all daily use, must be purchased from them at a high price. And once we want to give up boiling salt and make a living elsewhere, those evil slaves will immediately catch those salt farmers who want to escape, and torture them is considered light, and it is even more common to directly cut and kill the head hanging on the main road, and I don't know how many people died under the knives and axes of those Ding families. ”

When Lu Peng heard this, he couldn't help but ask angrily: "Doesn't the original government care?" ”

Zhang Qiang replied about the atmosphere: "The government? The original county magistrate, and the Ding family wore a pair of pants, only caring about flattering the Ding family and keeping his position as the county magistrate, where do we care if we live or die in the salt lake? Moreover, the Ding family trafficked our delayed salt out of the mouth, and the money obtained by the dog official was also in his pocket. Then he sighed in despair: "The officials in the world are all dark, where is the way for our small people to live?" ”

Lu Peng can only be silent, in the face of the dark officialdom in the world, in the face of the already chaotic world, his strength is really small, in a short period of time, he can't give the people any changes, but all this must be changed, all this must be changed from himself, here.
