The other side.

Dadongzhuang salt farm.

Zhang Zhixian of Dong'an County personally came forward and led a group of county officials to arrive here.

Zhang Haoxuan recuperated during this time, and he also limped with a cane.

He wants to see with his own eyes how his father will lose his face with Li Xiao!

Zhang Maojin also came here with several sons.

Zhang Maojin shouted at the villagers who were working, "Stop it, stop it!" What do you do for the two strangers? ”

With Zhang Maojin shouting.

The villagers who were working didn't know why, so they stopped what they were doing.

"Patriarch, why did you tell us to stop, is there anything going on?"

A man asked suspiciously.

"What else?"

Zhang Maojin frowned, waved his hand angrily, and said, "You dozens of people really like to work for this foreigner so much." ”

"What's this, people pay for it, let's work."

The man looked very honest, obviously not knowing what was about to happen.

"Yes, what a good job, a few dozen extra dollars a day."

"It's natural to work to make money, and whoever comes from doesn't care where he comes from, just give money."

"Patriarch, what do you mean? Don't let us make money? ”

A few other villagers also spoke.

During this period of work, the salary has been paid daily, no less than a cent.

With this extra income, I can also eat some meat on weekdays.

Cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, although Zhang Maojin is the patriarch, he can't hinder their financial path.

"Okay, you're Zhang Liuwu, it's what I said that won't be useful, right?"

There were many villagers behind Zhang Maojin, he beckoned directly, and the boss of the Zhang family called a few men and directly pressed Zhang Liuwu to the ground.

"Hit ten boards to set an example. I'm not dead yet, I'm still the patriarch of the Zhang family! ”

Zhang Maojin issued an order that he should first kill the chickens and monkeys and shake the scene, so that these villagers would not have nothing to do and ruin good things.

The voice fell.

Zhang Liuwu was stripped of his pants, and the two villagers rolled up their sleeves and beat them with sticks, making Zhang Liuwu scream.

The villagers brought by Zhang Maojin all missed the opportunity and did not catch up with this recruitment.

These villagers who have benefited are very envious, and they can't help but be a little heavier.

In the era when the imperial power did not go to the countryside, it was normal for lynching to be used in the township.

Because the political institutions of the Ming Dynasty stopped when they arrived in the county, there were few people at the grassroots level, and there were so many things that they could not control such a large area.

Many things need to be done by relying on the squire.

Without the help of the squires below, I am afraid that I will not even be able to collect taxes.

Therefore, even if Zhang Zhixian is present now, he is turning a blind eye.

What's more, he came for this matter in the first place.

Zhang Liuwu, who took the lead in speaking, was beaten, and the other villagers didn't dare to say anything more, so they could only watch.

At this time, the work of the entire salt works came to a standstill.

Li Xiongzhi's five subordinates in the nursing home, seeing that the situation was not right, immediately walked out and shouted: "What's the matter? Why is it all stopped? ”

Then, when they came to this side, they went into heat and the situation was not right.

There were a large number of villagers standing there, as well as officials from the county government.

However, the five nursing homes under Li Xiongzhi are also unusual, and they don't show that they are too afraid.

These five people used to be the private soldiers of a maritime merchant in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they practiced some skills.

Later, their merchant ships were robbed by well-armed pirates, and the maritime merchants died instantly.

The five of them fought bravely and skillfully, but were not killed on the spot, and finally forced to jump into the sea, and almost died after drifting at sea for a week with a wooden box, and were rescued by a fishing boat.

Originally, it was nothing, just find another maritime merchant to continue to mix and eat.

However, in the 14th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang directly banned the sea and moved the coastal people to the shore inward.

At this time, these people lost their livelihood, completely changed from slaves to exiles, and they didn't know how to do it, so they went to Beiping and found a barren mountain to open up wasteland and farm for a living.

No, recently, people have taken a fancy to their acres of land and reported them directly to the government, but when the displaced people were arrested and the fields were confiscated, they couldn't say if they were bitter.

was forced to find a landlord who planned to become a tenant.

But no one dares to ask for an outcast, like them.

happened to be favored by Li Xiao again, and bought it from the dental store as a nursing home.

Although they do not know the identity of the owner.

But Li Xiongzhi privately told them the identity of the owner. Very high.

Are you afraid of these people?

It's just a small county!

The nurse named Liu Dakai, who was the leader, shouted: "What are you doing? Why stop our workers at will! If you delay production, can you afford to pay this responsibility? ”

After speaking, the other four nurses took out iron rods two fingers thick, some of which looked like steel bars, rolled up their sleeves and glared angrily.

These days, Li Xiongzhi and a few of them are entertained with delicious food and drink, eating big fish and meat, these people have a thick waist and a punch, plus they have practiced martial arts.

Five people stood in a row with murder weapons, and the momentum was terrifying.

Immediately, the villagers retreated.

"You're the opposite! This Dadongzhuang Village is still up to a few of you outsiders! ”

The sixth child of the Zhang family shouted, and then brought a group of people over, holding hoes and other farm tools in their hands.

"This salt mountain was bought by our owner, and the salt farm was also built by the owner."

Liu Dakai straightened his body and crossed his waist, and shouted: "These workers don't owe a single copper plate of wages, they settle the knot every day, and they have to talk about their conscience, why are you making trouble here for no reason?" ”

"Why?"

The sixth elder of the Zhang family smiled and said: "Just because this is the industry of our village, this salt mountain is also our Zhang family's salt mountain is our family's ancestral business, and it was deceived by these swindlers, and now we want to get it back!" You are also buddies, collect money to do things, I won't embarrass you, call the steward, get out of here! ”

"What if you don't let it!" Liu Dakai scolded.

I finally found a reliable owner, and my duty is to watch the salt farm, which can't be done, what's the use?

"Don't let it? If you don't let you, you will be beaten on your knees. ”

The sixth elder of the Zhang family shouted: "Brothers, call me!" This salt mountain patriarch wants to take it back, and in the future, the people of our village will get rich together, and everyone can come to work in this salt farm! ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the villagers who had not entered the salt works lit up.

Several cronies of the sixth elder of the Zhang family had already picked up hoes and rushed over, and the remaining villagers also rushed over.

"You dare! Brothers, knock them out! ”

Liu Dakai is also not afraid of death, so he picked up the stick and rushed over, and the other four people also hurriedly followed.

Bang bang bang!

The two groups of people immediately became a mess, Liu Dakai had few people here, but several people had some kung fu in their hands, and they knocked over a few people with a few sticks.

But they didn't dare to kill them.

It's no joke if someone dies, these villagers are ruthless.

Definitely going to kill them here.

You can only hit the legs, and the iron rod beckons to the legs, and when the stick goes down, the opponent loses its combat effectiveness and can't get up.

But two fists are hard to beat four hands, there are only five of them, and there are almost fifty or sixty people besieging them, and they are impermeable inside and out.

The scene froze.

Aren't these villagers rushing rashly and being beaten at the front?

I don't know who shouted:

"Hit them with stones, there are so many of us, smash them and kill them."

As soon as I heard this,

Liu Dakai's faces changed immediately.
