There is the dilapidated and poor Feng family children, who have already run errands for people, and suddenly they also changed into long shirts, and they come over to fight for the family property, and the children of the Feng family have promised the outside a lot of benefits, as long as they are in charge.

In addition to this, the shopkeepers of the Feng family's industry everywhere are all taking advantage of themselves, and no one cares about it at this time anyway.

On the ground in Yangzhou, it is not very important to track down the big case, anyway, it is really to blame, the prefect, Tongzhi, the county and the like are unlucky, the officials still have to do what to do, and on the rivers and lakes of the officials, everyone is thinking about how to make a fortune here in the Feng family.

That night, those servants ate the first bite, and almost transported out of the three carts of goods, thinking that they could be eaten for several lifetimes, but who would have thought that they would be taken to prison the next day, and the goods they fished out were also cleaned, as for the servants and guards of the Feng family, those who ran fast were considered lucky, as long as they didn't leave at dawn, they all fell into bad luck, and they were all imprisoned, tortured and asked if they had colluded with this gang of Jiangyang thieves, as for the money on their bodies, they were all thieves and stolen goods, and they were swallowed up openly.

This kind of torture can't be said to be useless, but I still found that two servants from the inner house didn't come back that night, and everyone thought that they had gone out to fool around, and these subordinates who had face in front of the master were really hard to manage.

Coincidentally, when Feng Jinde returned to Yangzhou, he found the bodies of the two missing servants in a pond in the west of the city

As soon as Feng Jinde came back, the situation was immediately different, whether it was in terms of seniority, status in the clan, or prestige in Yangzhou City, Feng Jinde was now the first choice of the Feng family as the well-deserved head of the family.

When he came back, he really could suppress the scene, first sent someone to greet the official, the Feng family's lost property was recognized as thieves, and the Feng family would not track it down, and at the same time, the Feng family also took out the silver money and asked the official to come to the door to arrest those servants and clansmen who took advantage of the chaos to do wrongdoing, and then arranged for the trusted account manager in the clan to inspect the property and check the accounts, promising not to blame the past, but those people wanted to spit out the swallowed things.

Then he sent Mrs. Feng to a manor outside the city to recuperate, and if she wanted to go back to her parents' house or remarry, it was all at her own convenience, and she scared away those illegitimate children of foreign houses who dared to make trouble and ask for money, whether true or false.

If the same means are used, this can be regarded as stabilizing the situation of the Feng family, and then the Feng family's own people will close the door to talk.

Feng Jinde, the younger brother of the old lady of the Feng family, has a high rank and sufficient prestige, but he can't suppress the clansmen of the Feng family at all, after all, Feng Shaoxian also has brothers and heirs, this is talked about, but he is closer than Feng Jinde, and there are all kinds of theories, it is difficult to distinguish a result, not to mention the interference of outsiders, and it is even more chaotic and entangled.

"When the old man came back, he said that if there is anything you need help with, just ask!" This seemingly unintentional sentence made everyone quiet.

The gang of "Jiangyang thieves" who almost wiped out the Feng family's door now has not even a trace, whether it is the government or the rivers and lakes, they can't say why.

I can't find it out, but everyone vaguely guesses who it has to do with it, Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and only the Zhao Jin and Feng family in Xuzhou are incompatible, killing and killing, think about the majesty that Zhao Jin played in the grass nest, Yangzhou may also be related.

There are a lot of people who can think of it, and there is no one who dares to say it openly, killing one person, killing two people, killing ten people, everyone is not afraid, but killing hundreds, defeating thousands, and daring to find such a bloodbath, and there is no trace of it afterwards, who is not afraid?

Such a ruthless method, such a fierce god who asks for his life, who dares to offend rashly, Yangzhou has been subdued everywhere, and even the small officials of the government are silent, everyone can think that even if the official army will suppress it, maybe Zhao Jin will ambush the law, but who dares to guarantee that the lawless outlaws will enter Yangzhou again, it is not safe outside the city, is it safe inside the city, how did Feng Shaoliang of the Feng family die?

Think about it, the Feng family and Zhao Jin turned their faces, the two sides exchanged hands in the officialdom, and then fought in the grass nest, after Zhao Jin won the battle, he didn't stop, first killed the Feng family's concubine Feng Shaoliang, and then washed the Feng family in the middle of the night.

Moreover, the ground in Yangzhou is well-informed, and the governor of Zhilu Dao said that day that the governor and the governor of the city were on the sidelines of the Feng family, because Zhao Jin also had a big backer in the capital, he was strong, and he had a backstage, who dared to offend such a character, and it was not his own business, why bother talking too much, and the words were ugly, even if it was his own business, he would have to shrink his head at this time.

Feng Jinde reported Zhao Jin's name, and the surroundings were quiet, there were those who were unwilling, and after understanding what happened, they also died down, and even those self-fattening and greedy shopkeepers were honest, that is, more than ten days of work, Feng Jinde took the Feng family in his hands, although it was already dilapidated.

The family members suffered heavy casualties and heavy losses of money, but these are all appearances, as long as the salt quota is still there, as long as the relationship between the salt field and the salt road is still there, and even, there are still shops in the salt market, then the Feng family will soon be able to turn over.

However, the clansmen are no longer making trouble, but the salt merchants are all eyeing it, the Feng family's legal and illegal things in the salt industry are too valuable, there is nothing to say about the good business in the past, but now it is decaying, and everyone wants to come and take a bite.

Especially those salt merchants who have opened shops in the salt market and cooperated with Zhao Jin, they are even more anxious, you have the face of Jinye, and the relationship between us and Jinye is not bad, we will divide the winners and losers ourselves, and Jinye may not be biased.

Fortunately, Feng Jinde can carry it clearly, when someone calls him an old lady, he did not get carried away, nor did he stay in Yangzhou to enjoy the glory and wealth, but hurriedly embarked on the road to Xuzhou, who caused all this in front of him, who gave him these things, Feng Jinde understood very well in his heart, of course he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

As for the salt merchants in Yangzhou City, even those who have nothing to do with Xuzhou, they are now preparing to go to Xuzhou, as for those who set up points in the salt market, they are all in a hurry to get on the road, and some people have just come back, and they are busy continuing to set off.

When the salt merchants set off in Yangzhou, a company and bow team of the Zhao Ziying personal guard, plus horse teams and Tatar cavalry, led by Dong Bingfeng and Ji Xiang, came to Pizhou from Xuzhou in batches.

The simple wharves and roads had been built by the homeless people, and they went to the homeless village along the road, where they joined up with the three companies on that side, one company stayed behind, and the remaining three companies plus cavalry and archers, as well as five hundred homeless people, totaling 1,200 people, marched to the east under the leadership of Li Dajin and Pizhou guides.

The battle broke out five days later, the team of the Zhao Ziying attacked a manor on the bank of the Lianhe River in the early morning, and the manor was not only the peasant people, but there were nearly a thousand bandits, but they were not prepared at all, and they were caught off guard, suffered heavy losses, and most of the dead and wounded, and at noon, the Zhao Ziying took the captured cattle, horses and vehicles to embark on the return journey.

In the second half of June, hundreds of heads were received in the official yamen of Haizhou and Pizhou, many of whom were outlaw thieves wanted by the government for a long time.

At the same time, the grass nest thieves of the grass snake have been completely wiped out, and there is no trace of the Feng family on the entire barren grass beach, in fact, there is no grass nest thief on the entire barren grass beach, and the martial artists of Xuzhou and Pizhou have swept repeatedly, and the small bandits have either perished or fled without a trace, and the places where the displaced people live have also been collected near the new village of the displaced people.

Although the harvest will not be too good in the first few years, after all, with output, the input from outside can be greatly reduced, and the input from Yutou Town is not one-way, because the salt goods smuggled out by the salt cookers in Haizhou are now collected and distributed from the Xinzhai side of the displaced people, and then sold outside.

Many salt dealers bought grain and goods directly from Yutou Town, and rushed to the homeless Xinzhai to do business.

Originally, the homeless Xinzhai asked for secrecy and was afraid of being pulled out by all parties, but now the homeless Xinzhai has no such concerns.

When the salt merchants arrived in Xuzhou, all this happened on the grass nest was also settled, and this time there was no special review for them, but only led the new parties to look at the training of Zhao Ziying.

Regardless of whether he knows how to do it or not, the elite of Zhao Ziying's family, as well as the bloody murderous aura that has stained human life, can be felt, and he is shocked, more precisely, frightened.

After seeing the strength, he naturally understood his attitude and position, and then thought about the fate of the Feng family, everyone was ready to be stabbed.

But when negotiating with Zhao Jin, there was no similarity in the knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow, the share of the salt market became thirty percent, this is nothing to interfere with, and then it is to open wineries selling wine in Yangzhou and Qingjiangpu, this is also very simple, the salt merchants in Jiangbei Jiangnan face is still not small, third, the Zhuangzi near Haizhou, Zhao Jin himself wants to take it, this everyone agrees, that Zhuangzi is actually the warehouse of several small salt farms in the vicinity, which is owned by the Feng family.

Zhao Jin wanted this place, thinking that he wanted to mix it with private salt, it had already reached such a point, who could stop him, his request was already very measured.

Even the Feng family didn't shed too much flesh and blood, after Zhao Jin asked for that Zhuangzi, the Feng family Haizhou did not produce the share of private salt in the official face, and Zhao Jin wanted forty percent, which is really not much, not in the official share, the output of one pound is to earn a pound, even if Zhao Jin eats it, it is a little earning, not not not earning.
