The housekeeper is the best at looking at the face, seeing the face of the head of the house, knowing the reason, he immediately reprimanded: "In front of the head of the house, what kind of system does it become? ”

"The head of the house, all the people who went last night are gone," the man staggered in, kneeling on the ground, and said with a face full of disgrace.

"What?" This time, don't talk about Gao Xinghe, even Zhang Jinxiong can't sit still.

The two heads of the house looked at each other, and then their eyes fell on the person kneeling on the ground.

"What about the villagers?" Zhang Jinxiong asked urgently.

"The little one pretended to be a merchant to investigate, and smelled a strong smell of blood, there were people in the village guarding, still holding weapons in their hands, and occasionally a few villagers took care of it, but there was no crying, it didn't look like something was wrong,"

Gao Xinghe and Zhang Jinxiong looked solemn: their plan failed.

After waving his hand and letting the little guy go down, Gao Xinghe sighed lightly and said, "We still underestimate others,"

The love rivals again and again keep them in complete passivity.

"There aren't that many people in the Mei family," Zhang Jinxiong said with a different idea.

"But our people are gone, maybe there are still people meddling in this matter, and there are even many people hiding behind it,"

"So what are we going to do now?" As the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Jinxiong has his own ruthlessness and requirements.

The reason why I asked Gao Xinghe was to give people face.

"I'll send someone to inquire again," he said, without mentioning anything about the illicit salt.

Zhang Jinxiong sighed and said: "Senior brother, we have been friends for many years, and our interests are entangled with each other, and we all hope that we will be good with each other, but this time, I want to say something you don't want to hear, if this Mei family continues to sell salt, we will lose the opportunity, and it will make that people hate us, and the meaning of this provocation will change,"

Being hated by the people of the neighboring city is not a good thing for them.

Gao Xinghe's face was cold: "Do you regret it, do you want to sell salt?" ”

Zhang Jinxiong didn't answer, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"Heh," he felt ridiculous, and mocked: "The Mei family is now pushing the price of salt so low, and the snow salt is still in a steady stream, do you think the Zhang family can fight it?" Or is it that the price of private salt in the entire Lincheng follows the Mei family? ”

"Have you forgotten that behind the Mei family, that is the imperial court, if we compromise, not only will the price of private salt be reduced, but it will even be replaced by official salt, do you know what that means?"

The last question was quite sharp, which made Zhang Jinxiong's face full of helplessness.

"But what else can we do but cooperate? At least in this case, the private salt in the hand can still be disposed of, otherwise, hoarding, and waiting for the imperial court to come to order, it will really be worthless! "They are not allowed to sell, and if they are left to waste.

Gao Xinghe thought of the banker's promise, gritted his teeth and said: "We must not compromise, the appetite of the imperial court has always been very large, we compromise one step, in the future, maybe even the salt fields and wharves will have to be given up, so we will still have a way to go in the end?" ”

Zhang Jinxiong looked at him and did not agree.

This is all nonsense, unless a solution can be found.

"If you want to be safe in the city, you must use some means!" Gao Xinghe was silent for a long time before he said gloomily.

This time, Zhang Jinxiong did not refute.

No one wants their property to be swallowed up, which their ancestors have worked so hard to save.

Early the next morning, Uncle Yuan waited for Yu Dahai and others to bring salt, but found that no one came for a long time, and even the people who bought salt became fewer, and even some people who came here felt something, and left in a hurry, not even buying salt.
