Hearing this, these young people all shouted in surprise, and they all asked what was going on? Jiayin could only appease Greedy Mo one by one and let them wait patiently. However, although these people have been appeased, they are still restless!

Because these young people know all too well how attractive this price is to the village in the mountains! A large part of the income in the village is used to buy salt! Official salt is very expensive, and it is out of stock from time to time! They can only endure the exploitation of the smugglers!

If, as Jiayin said, they can get a hundred wen a pound of salt, even if it is two hundred wen a pound of salt, they will be able to become a big hero in the village!

Time passed in the anxious waiting, and to Cain's disappointment, there was no boat in the evening. Looks like it won't arrive until tomorrow! And the next day he was disappointed again! Because he waited until it was almost evening, and no ship came! But that's normal, because sailboats aren't as easy to drive as modern boats!

But just when I left the dock in disappointment tonight, at a fork in the road more than ten miles away from Donglai Town, there were more than a dozen stout and hideous-looking men standing or sitting there, as if waiting for someone!

Just when they began to get a little impatient, they saw a group of people coming from a fork in the road, about twenty people. These people are dressed up like those people, and they are not good people at first glance!

The two teams soon approached, and a strong man came out of the crowd and shouted at the other team, "Boss Hu, the little brother has finally waited for you to come!"

Boss Hu, the leader of this team, also smiled and greeted loudly, "Zhao Long Legs. You're early, aren't you in a hurry?"

Zhao Changleg swayed his two long legs to meet him, and said as he walked, "Don't worry, we just arrived!"

As he spoke, the two teams had merged into one team. The people below greeted each other and each found a place to sit and rest. They were also tired after walking the mountain road for a while.

After the leaders of the two sides met, Zhao Changleg said, "Boss Hu, this time thanks to your idea, the little brother can get out!" Otherwise, I'm afraid that the head will have been cut off!"

Boss Hu laughed proudly twice when he heard this, and then said, "That's nature! Those who are in office, both big and small, are very greedy, and as long as they have money, there is nothing they dare not do!"

Zhao Changleg said admiringly, "Boss Hu is really righteous! By the way, I have already discussed with these brothers, and I will follow Boss Hu in the future, and I will follow Boss Hu's idea!"

Boss Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted Zhao Chang's shoulder vigorously and said, "Good brother, don't worry! As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to monopolize the salt in the mountains! Those mountain people are stupid, they don't know anything! I don't have any dealings with the government, and I don't know anything about the outside world, so this is a good opportunity for our brothers to get rich! Don't worry, as long as your brother has a bite to eat in the future, you will definitely have a bite!"

Hearing the words of these two leaders, the people below also knew that they were about to become a family, and their expressions were obviously much more affectionate than just now, and they began to call each other brothers.

It turned out that this Boss Hu, Zhao Changjiao and others were just some small salt lords, with only three or five people under them, and they usually only sold illicit salt in these poor and remote areas to make some hard-earned money! Although I can't make a fortune, my life is very nourishing!

But not long ago, the rumors of the official caravan suddenly changed! The government began to dispatch strong archers and guards to hunt down and kill salt lords and salt lords! As long as the salt lord is captured, he first beheads him, then he raids his house, and then sells the salt lord's family to ensure that the soup and water are swallowed cleanly!

If those salt lords in the past may not be afraid of these strong archers, even the soldiers of the guard station are not afraid of them! Because these people are not outlaws, but the salt lords are! No one wants to risk their lives to fight the salt lords! After all, everyone is just eating with each other, who wants to play with the salt lords!

But this time it's different! The higher-level government has suppressed it level by level, and strictly ordered that the salt barons in all states and counties must be exterminated and illegal salt must be completely eliminated! With this order, the people below had to move!

Usually, these salt lords sell illicit salt semi-publicly, and it is not difficult to find them. And it's not hard to catch them

The most important thing is not to let them gather!

After figuring out this section, the local government strictly guarded the secrets, quietly arranged, and then thundered out! The final result is to fight more and less, and kill the salt lords!

As for why he hacked to death in the first place after catching the salt baron, it was naturally for his family property! If there is a living mouth, wouldn't the account of the family property not be correct! Only if he is killed and his family is sold, then how much property will be confiscated is up to the handler!

When the first salt lord tasted the sweetness, the people below spontaneously moved and began to hunt and kill the salt lord! Without him, it's just because the salt lord's family property is too rich! As the so-called wealth is moving, officials and soldiers at all levels have burst out with super combat effectiveness because of the property of the salt lords, and they began to take the initiative to attack frequently when they have no one to organize, and the results are incomparably rich for a while!

So for a while, the salt lords everywhere in the world were hit hard! Especially a small salt lord like Boss Hu and Zhao Changleg is easier to deal with, there are only three or five people in their group, and they can overturn them with any team! So little salt lords like them are the targets of low-level officials in the yamen everywhere! As for the big salt owl, it is naturally up to the adults above to mobilize a large team of people to deal with it!

The small salt barons are different from the big salt barons in that they rarely have anything to do with the government. Because their money can't buy high-ranking officials, and bribing low-level officials can't get any useful information, they have become the easiest targets to hunt!

However, Boss Hu is a little different from other little salt lords, because he has a half-brother born from his mother's remarriage after his father's death! And his brother actually mixed into the county government as a scribe, and won the trust of the chief bookkeeper! He became Boss Hu's lifesaver!

Boss Hu's family was relatively good after becoming a salt lord, so he often sent some money to his mother. So the relationship between the two brothers is not bad! Especially Boss Hu also knows that his identity as a salt lord can't be put on the table, so every time he goes to his brother's house, he goes behind someone's back, and no one knows that the two are brothers! Look at the book

As a result, when the government began to hunt and kill the salt lords, his brother risked his life to send him the news and told him the cause and effect of the whole thing. This frightened Boss Hu!
