Lao Zheng Tou is the oldest among these people, he doesn't have the impulse of these young people, and after a long sigh, he frowned and said: "We people can't kill people and set fires, and we don't have the face to see our ancestors when we die; But now we can't live like this, I see......"

Before he could finish his words, suddenly there was an exclamation from the courtyard gate.

When everyone in the room heard this, their claws immediately numb.

"Yes, is it a salt soldier?"

"It must have been a leak of news, and it was known by Dou Laogou's people!"

Before they could finish speaking, the broken door of Lao Zheng Tou's house was kicked open, and in the moonlight, several wolf-like men with sticks and chains broke in and arrested people.

The woman of the old Zheng Tou was held to the ground by these people, her old face like bark was pressed against the soil, and her gray hair was scattered like dead branches and leaves, which was extremely desolate.

When Lao Zheng saw his wife so miserable, he shouted: "What are you doing? Why arrest people indiscriminately? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a big man wearing a [salt] shirt stepped forward with a cruel smile and punched him in the chest, making Lao Zheng Tou even cough a luxury, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

After the big man beat Lao Zheng, he saw that his subordinates had already controlled everyone, and only two guys pressed Lao Zheng's head to the woman who had not yet been chained, so he slapped the two people on his head and scolded: "Ding Erxiao ran under your noses, and now even an old woman can't look at it, what's the use of asking you to waste this bunch of waste, I'll send my mother to the stove to dry salt another day!" ”

The two men were startled, and hurriedly kicked the old woman in the crook of the knee, and chained her while she fell to the ground again.

The big man looked around coldly, didn't talk nonsense, and escorted everyone out with a wave of his big hand.

At this time, in the courtyard of the Dou family, torches illuminated the compound as if it were day.

Just now, there were more than 20 people in Lao Zhengtou's house, all of whom were tied to the pillars in the courtyard with their hair disrupted.

The pillar was black and red in the light of the fire, and at a glance, you could tell that I don't know how many people had been tortured to death on it.

At this time, Chief Dou Chang was holding a teacup, and sat in the courtyard with no interest and looked at everyone.

After taking a sip of tea, he said slowly: "Lao Zheng, it's so late, so many posteriors stay in your house, what are you discussing?" ”

Lao Zheng had already been whipped with a whip and was dying, and when he heard this, he struggled to raise his head and said, "Back to Chief Douchang, several descendants have been discussing the recent drop in the price of salt at my house. ”

Chief Dou was a little surprised by his directness, and the next second he got up from his seat and went to Lao Zhengtou's side: "Why are you discussing these things?" Is this something you cooks should be thinking? ”

Lao Zheng Tou laughed miserably and said: "Master Dou, in the past, the price of salt of more than three cents was almost unbearable, but now it has been directly reduced to two cents per catty, isn't this to force me to death?"

Chief Dou shook his head: "You don't understand the situation, I will announce tomorrow, you work more and get more, you can dry more salt, not only can make up for the fall in salt prices, but also earn more than in previous years, this reason is so simple, why don't you people understand?" ”

......Suddenly, a young man next to Lao Zheng Tou spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the satin robe of Dou Chang and scolded: "Old thief Dou, in our field, which one can only rest for two hours a day, except for these two hours, we don't even dare to leave the stove room for eating and, just like that, you still lower the price of salt, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?" ”

"Bastard!"

"Bold!"

"How dare you insult the field manager!"

"You kid want to die, don't you?"

At this time, someone stepped forward and wanted to help Chief Dou wipe off the thick phlegm on his robe, but Chief Dou refused.

He unbuttoned the cloth one by one, and then picked up the satin robe and gently wiped the blood from the corner of the young man's forehead.

Just when the people in a courtyard couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, suddenly Dou Chang smiled and said, "You said that you, you have been busy for so many years, have you ever seen such a slippery silk?" ”

The young man looked at him blankly, not knowing what he meant.

The satin robe brushed across his face, and the silky touch made the young man know for the first time that the clothes worn by the rich man were so slippery, slippery and delicater than the body of his newly married daughter-in-law.

Suddenly, he made a "hmm", his eyes widened, and he looked at Dou Changchang in disbelief.

I saw that Dou Changchang had lost the amiability he had just had, and the whole person covered the mouth and nose of the stove with a satin robe.

Stove Ding struggled frantically, and Dou Chang used one hand at first, and then he used two hands......

Gradually, gradually, the young stove stopped struggling, and in this way, he was covered alive by Dou Changchang with a satin robe in front of everyone.

Dou Changchang gradually calmed down, his hideous face gradually changed to an amiable appearance again, and he smiled and said to the people around him: "Poor fellow, I haven't worn silk in my life, go, bury him in this silk!" ”

The people around him, including those stove soldiers with blood on their hands, couldn't help but stand on end when they saw this scene!

After the body of the young man was dragged away, Dou Changchang turned to Lao Zheng Tou and asked, "What were you just discussing?" ”

Lao Zheng Tou was horrified in his heart, but he had been humble all his life, and this time he didn't want to bow his head again.

The death of the young man just now seemed to have no way to touch him, because he knew that it was death anyway, one was beaten to death, and the other was starved to death by the whole family, so it was better to simply be beaten to death.

At least, maybe because of his death, these can be raised with a little jealousy.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Dou Chang smiled and said: "Old Zheng Tou, it stands to reason that you are also the old man of our tea field, I know, young people listen to you, how about it?" As long as you promise not to take the lead in making trouble, I will give you a position to keep it right next year! ”

Old Zheng Tou laughed miserably when he heard this: "What? Integrity? Do you guys ride on our heads? ”

"Phew! Lao Tzu is dead today, and he won't let you dogs have a good day! ”

The stoves who are tied around are the real leaders in the hearts of the cooks in the tea field.

They saw that the eldest Lao Zheng was so backbone, and he had just shrunk because his companion was killed, and suddenly disappeared at this moment, they got up and roared angrily: "Today is death, and I won't let you dogs go well!" ”

Seeing this, Chief Dou Chang smiled instead of being angry: "Okay, good! ”

After speaking, he pouted and said, "Plant Lao Zhengtou's old wife on the beach!" ”

The so-called planting on the beach is actually to suffocate people upside down in the sand of the beach, and this kind of lynching is often used in the salt works to punish disobedient stoves.

Lao Zheng Tou's eyes were cracked when he heard this: "The surname Dou is one person who does things and one person is responsible for it, and it will not cause trouble to the family, so you let her go!" ”

Chief Dou seemed to have lost interest in speaking at this moment, waved his hand and explained: "Press them all into the water prison first, and then I will talk about it when I think about it one day!" ”
