Li Meng and the salt ding beside him, the blacksmith's expression suddenly became ugly, one salt Ding was going to see who was coming, and the other Yan Ding was going to lead the horse and shout to the back.

Could it be that he is so unlucky today, and the people who want to kill him come one after another, Li Meng is extremely angry in his heart, and even has the idea of fighting with the people outside no matter what.

At this time, Yanding, who had gone to check the situation, hurriedly ran back, his face was full of ecstasy, and shouted loudly:

"My lord, my lord, it's our people in the state city."

Hearing this, Li Meng also breathed a sigh of relief, now the manor is more than thirty people, if there is another group of enemies, if there are enough people, I really don't know how to deal with it.

There were one hundred and twenty Yanding on the side of the state city, and all of them arrived this time, and the deputy of the Yanding team in charge explained to Li Meng that it was Tang Erbai who was helpless, and went to the house to inspect and tell him about seeing Jinyiwei in the city.

But the crux of the matter is that there are no horses in the city, and the degree of foot soldiers is limited after all.

Looking at the panting salts, Li Meng was very happy in his heart, raised his hand and pointed to Tang Er, who was standing in the back row with some shame, and said:

"I've already fired you, why did you come with the Yanding Brigade!"

After saying this, Tang Er's face suddenly turned pale, and he was about to turn around and leave, when he heard Li Meng continue:

"You should be punished well, the work of the gambling house will not be allowed to be done, come to this Li family manor, and make up for all the drills you have delayed in the past few days."

Tang Er's face suddenly brightened, and the salts around him felt unbearable, but at this time, they also laughed one after another, patting Tang Er's shoulders and teasing him, Tang Er stood there and smirked. It wasn't until the deputy of the Yanding team came over and pushed it that he reacted, ran out of the queue, and kowtowed to Li Menglian with joy, unable to say a word.

Li Meng laughed loudly, and felt very happy for a while.

When it was dark, the messenger sent by Wu Wensong, the same knowledge of Jiaozhou, came......

There are quite a few people living around the Li family's manor in Fengmeng Town, and there are really a lot of people who heard the movement in the manor in this afternoon, screaming and shouting to kill, and some people saw a group of caravans wearing green robes entering the manor. But these people never came out again. The horses that were placed at the door were also led in by the salters.

Although there are a lot of things, everyone tacitly doesn't even talk about it. It's just that some people are strange, saying that those people in green clothes that day seem to have seen the former Pingdu salt sellers Qiu Dahai, but at most they are chatting before their own family goes to bed, and they don't dare to mention it outside.

When they entered the October land, it was already a withered yellow patch everywhere, and these people in Fengmeng Town also forgot about it, and during this period, the traders in Fengmeng Town felt very happy, because the salt team stationed in Fengmeng Town reached 300 people, and it is said that there will be 300 people coming here after a while.

These 600 people will be here forever from now on. Not in rotation, permanent is a good thing for traders, Li Meng's salt is a law-abiding person, the military discipline is strict, the monthly salary is full of money, there must be a lot of these silver can be spent on the market, isn't this a good thing for everyone to benefit.

Farmers near the Li family manor. On the fifth day of the first month of October, I encountered a very strange thing, three or four people from the Lingshan Salt Farm. He said that he had come to Fengmeng Town to purchase goods, but he wandered around these farmers and asked who had met someone on that afternoon at the end of September, and whether something had happened.

Naturally, the farmers don't know what to ask. Wait for these people from the Lingshan Salt Farm to leave. I immediately went to tell the salt ding of the Li family's manor.

The salt factory of the official salt has set up a salt section ambassador to manage all aspects of the production of the salt factory. Two years ago, Ambassador Zhang of Lingshan was still called Zhang Daguanren, and he was majestic in the local area and in the guard, and many salt dealers and salt barons had to be careful to curry favor, but after a fool in the Lingshan Guard suddenly became smart, his status plummeted.

The subordinate stove households are constantly poached, and Ambassador Zhang's influence is also limited to the salt field, and the salt produced is purchased and sold, that is, to make a hard-earned money. Ambassador Zhang of this salt field also secretly tried the means, but in the face of the other party's rapidly growing strength, it did not work at all.

After Li Meng placed 100 salt dings in the salt field, Ambassador Zhang quickly came down honestly and arranged production, which was abnormal.

At the end of September this year, this Ambassador Zhang was sick for a few days, and then drove a concubine surnamed Qiudi back home, and there was nothing unusual about the rest.

In October, when the weather was cold and the weather was about to change, the people of the entire salt factory were mobilized to pack up the salt goods and prepare the supply for the peak season near the end of the year.

The Lingshan Salt Farm has long been presided over by the stove household promoted by Li Meng, and Ambassador Zhang is just an ornament placed outside, but after all, he is an official sent by the imperial court, and he also takes a regular amount of silver in his income, which is enough to have a very good life.

On this day, Ambassador Zhang also went out, and only walked a dozen steps, when he saw someone waiting on the side of the road in front of him, and saw the appearance of that person clearly, Ambassador Zhang trembled, his face suddenly became pale, forced himself to squeeze out a smile, walked a few steps quickly, and greeted him politely:

"Isn't this Sixth Brother Chen, why do you have the kung fu to come to my place today, come home quickly, and have a drink."

Chen Liuzi's body was no longer a cloth coat, but a leather armor, and iron pieces were nailed to the vital parts, Chen Liuzi's face was cold, there was no smile, and he said to Ambassador Zhang:

"Your affairs, Lord Li, know about it, and the people you sent to Zhoucheng and Jinan to report the news have also been detained."

As he spoke, six salts flashed out before and after, just standing there, sandwiching Ambassador Zhang in the middle, Zhang Daguan was already completely imposing, and he couldn't even keep the smile he squeezed out, just said in a trembling voice there:

"You are lawless, Zhang is also an official of the imperial court......"

Chen Liuzi said coldly:

"We know that you are an official of the imperial court, nothing unusual, let's go, there is salt in front

These salters don't need to be strong, to deal with a pampered fat man, they don't need to be like a big enemy, this ambassador Zhang was quiet for a while, his whole body trembled, and he said in an astringent voice:

"You salt poles are thieves, if you want to earn, don't let us earn, is there any reason for this."

Chen Liuzi's patience was surprisingly good, and he just said coldly:

"Anything else to say? When that's all done, let's go to Yantian! ”

"Sixth brother, I don't have much money and land left, I have to leave it to the mother-in-law and children in Jimo County, sixth brother, you have a lot of adults, just send them all."

"My family will not embezzle your money, nor will I embarrass your family, rest assured!"

“…… Thank you, Master Li and Sixth Brother Chen...... So, let's go! ”

At the beginning of October, Zhang, the ambassador of the salt section of the Lingshan Salt Farm, died in the salt pan when he suddenly suffered a stroke because the sea water was too cold.

The person who was arranged by Wu Wensong, the same acquaintance in Jiaozhou, to report to Li Meng naturally also returned, and there was nothing abnormal in the Li family manor, everything was as usual. More than fifty brocade guards disappeared silently, which is really a terrifying event. Wu Wensong broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the news, and immediately arranged for his confidants and family members to enter Beijing to report the news.

The eunuchs in the Forbidden City, and the eunuchs who had been busy all day gathered in a side room, drinking tea and eating some snacks, and waiting for dinner for a while.

These eunuchs are already the highest level of eunuchs, and they are naturally gourmet and beautiful, and the full flattery of the imperial dining room, but the people who have reached this position have no interest in these appetites, and two of them are still discussing the strips handed over by the cabinet during the day, and the five of them are all closed and pretending to sleep.

On the contrary, Liu Fulai was there sipping tea and eating fine snacks, he was not as good as young people, and he had to eat something to replenish immediately after a tiring day.

Outside the house, a little eunuch walked in lightly, and greeted the eunuchs with a thousand salutes, and then leaned into Liu Fulai's ear, whispering, and the attention of several eunuchs around him was diverted, everyone in this small space has a role of great power and responsibility, and they are very concerned about each other's actions, for fear that the other party is doing something behind their backs, of course, if there is really any planning action, they will definitely not sit in front of them.

Liu Fulai obviously knew this mentality of his colleagues, he nodded at the little eunuch, and said to the people around him:

"Relatives in Shandong sent some souvenirs over, and I asked people to bring them in, and everyone shared them to taste."

Liu Fulai is the most low-key character in the celebrant on weekdays, everyone has a very good relationship with him, these people have tasted all kinds of delicacies, the so-called local specialties are more attractive to everyone's interest, and some people are wondering if it will be the gold and silver treasures sent below.

The eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi are all a lot of people in the foreign courts, and the so-called villagers give gifts, and gold, silver and jewelry are regarded as so-called "local specialties". The weather is finally a little warmer,
