At night, a small figure slipped out of the backyard and wanted to sneak out of the palace, but was caught red-handed by the patrolling guards.

Because of this person's special identity, the guards did not dare to deal with it, so they could only have the courage to wake up Zhu Zhang.

Zhu Fan saw that it was the little monk beside Hongyuan, and he didn't feel angry: "Damn, what do you want to do in the middle of the night with this little bald donkey?" disturbed the king's dreams. ”

He raised his hand and slapped the little monk to the ground.

A letter fell out of the little monk's arms, and the guards picked it up and handed it to Zhu Zhang.

Zhu Fan took it and saw that it was a letter written by Hongyuan to Lao Zhu.

The letter said that Zhu Fan was evil, cruel and unkind, and ignored government affairs.

The princess not only did not persuade, but instead aided the abuse, and was absurd.

Zhu Fan was shocked and angry, and his head was full of cold sweat: Fortunately, the guards found this little bald donkey. Otherwise, if this letter is delivered to the father, won't the king's good life be over?

Even if you scold this king, you can even scold Zhiqiu together.

When the time comes, my father will be angry and punish Zhiqiu, how is it good?

Zhu Fan stared at the little monk viciously: "Run, right?" Sending letters, right? This king told you that you can only crawl and walk for the rest of your life. Come, break his leg for the king. ”

Wang Xiaoyue heard the news, put on a piece of clothing and hurried over, kneeling on the ground: "The prince is angry, don't hurt people." ”

Zhu Fan was even more angry when he saw Wang Xiaoyue, and pointed at her and said, "Yes, yes, it must have been instructed by you." You don't know that Qiu is unlucky, and from then on there is only you in the palace. ”

Wang Xiaoyue: "If the prince is angry, punish the concubine." He was still a child. ”

The little monk was so frightened that he began to cry.

Wang Xiaoyue said to Deng Zhiqiu again: "Niangniang, quickly persuade the prince." ”

Deng Zhiqiu turned his head.

wrote a letter to complain to Lao Zhu, didn't that kill her?

Why would she intercede for such a person?!

The guards hesitated and did not dare to move.

Zhu Fan said to the guards in a continuous voice: "What are you waiting for, do you dare not even listen to the king's orders?" Do you want the king to break your legs? ”

When the guards heard this, they dared to say more, so they dragged the little monk out and went out.

Wang Xiaoyue couldn't stop kowtowing: "Lord Wang, please spare him and make less evil." ”

The shrill wailing of the little monk came from outside, and it sent chills to the bones.

The attendants and maids in the room were all pale and trembling.

Zhu Fan gritted his teeth: "From now on, who dares to go out and chew the root of their tongue and say that the king or the side princess is not, this is an example." Do you hear that? ”

The crowd did not dare to look at him, and replied in a whisper, "Yes." ”

Fang Cai Hongyuan heard that there was a lot of commotion outside, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it: it must have been caught by Zhu Fan in vain.

I don't know how Zhu Fan will torture the apprentice, he can't save people even if he is locked up here, how is it good?

In fact, he didn't approve of his apprentice's adventure, after all, the entire Xi'an Guard was Zhu Zhang's people.

Now that he heard the disciples screaming in front of him, Hongyuan's heart was like a knife, and his hands and feet were cold.

Moments later, the half-dead apprentice was thrown in, and his leg was broken into several pieces from the knee down.

No matter how advanced Ren Hongyuan's cultivation is, he is so angry that he burst into tears.

He pointed at Zhu Fan and scolded angrily: "Zhu Zhang, you are absurd and cruel, and you have your own curse!" Damnation!! ”

From then on, the people in King Qin's palace were silent, and no one dared to speak out.

Wang Xiaoyue is also like a gourd with a sawed mouth, and she will not persuade Zhu Fan anymore.

Zhu Fan told Wang Xiaoyue to stay in the backyard and not to come out.

Wang Xiaoyue lived in seclusion every day, playing the piano, writing, painting and painting, and was also happy to be idle.

Deng Zhiqiu was no longer restrained, and regarded herself as a concubine more and more, and on weekdays, she also asked the maid to call her "Niangniang", not "side concubine".

If someone forgets for a while and says that they have missed their mouths, they will be palmed at the light of their mouths and confined.

The subordinates hated and feared Deng Zhiqiu, and secretly pouted: "This virtue is also worthy of being a concubine?" ”

Everyone succumbed to Deng Zhiqiu's obscenity on the surface, but in fact, they still regarded Wang Xiaoyue as a concubine in their hearts.

Zhu Fan locked up Hongyuan for a few days, and then asked someone to bring him a letter and asked him to write to the court saying that everything was fine, and that the king of Qin was diligent and studious, and that he had governed Qin very well, so he let him out.

Hongyuan: "It's okay to ask a poor monk to lie." Your Highness will immediately ask a doctor to heal my son. ”

Zhu Fan responded and called the doctor.

The doctor came to see it, although the helper said that his leg was not saved.

Fortunately, it did not fester, otherwise his life would not have been saved.

Hongyuan was sad and endured heartache to write a letter for Zhu Zhang.

Zhu Fan got the letter, but he still locked Hongyuan in that house and asked someone to bring three meals a day.

Hongyuan and his apprentices ate and drank Lazar, and they were all there.

Seeing that it is the middle of August, Kangduo has been in Chenzhou for nearly half a year.

The battle situation is still stalemate, although there are small victories from time to time, but it has no big impact on the overall battle situation.

Come to think of it, the situation is only slightly better now than when he first arrived.

Now he understood what the aggrieved expression of the Chenzhou guard at that time meant.

The mountains and forests here are dense, and the large number of people is not dominant. Mounted archery is also useless.

He also thought of using the method of clearing the wilderness with strong walls to make the rebels run out of food.

This is a mountainous area full of terraced fields, a small piece, hidden in the col, there is no way to collect it all.

So this method doesn't work.

The officers and men in the army have already complained a lot, questioning his ability as the first general to fight in battle.

If it is consumed any longer, it will snow in the Chenzhou Mountains in winter, and the military food supplies will not be able to be transported, which will be even more troublesome.

Condor's beard was long, his face haggard, staring at the letter on the table that had been rubbed to the brim of his hair.

It was a letter that Zhu Bai asked Hu Mei to pass to him, telling him to open it if he couldn't fight anymore.

He tried to open the letter countless times during the night, but he couldn't help it.

He is not reconciled, and in the end he has to rely on others.

But this is definitely not the way to go.

He hesitated for a long time, but gritted his teeth and picked up the letter and opened it, with only two words written on it: "Broken salt." ”

Condorf frowned: What do you mean......

Ah, right.

This kid is really smart......

The salt in these three places is all Huai salt.

Huai salt was to be transported from Yangzhou to Chenzhou, and then distributed to the counties below Chenzhou and all over Jingzhou.

As long as the salt is controlled, these traitors will not be able to jump.

But how do you control salt?

What about after the salt is controlled?

He looked at it, there were still words on the back, turned it over and looked at it, and wrote a dense article.

Kangduo slapped his thigh after reading it: "Wonderful, what a clever plan." ”

Someone outside reported: "Lord Kang, His Royal Highness the King of Xiang asked someone to send you a gift." ”

-----

The Salt Transportation Department of the Chenzhou Prefecture suddenly sent a notice to the county offices, saying that the salt for this month and the future would be personally brought by Kang Duo to the county government to distribute it.

The village chiefs of each village, each Lili are leading all the people of each family to come to the county government to pay money and receive salt with the household registration book.

Because of the rebellion, the counties of Chenzhou were miserable, and they suddenly received a notice from the Salt Transportation Division at this time, and they became more and more miserable.

Speaking of which, their work seems to be lightened, but in fact they are cut off from the way to reap the benefits of "salt money".
