As the night passed, early the next morning, the Shioto cooks who went to the beach to ride the high tide to carry water found that on the endless sand, there was a wooden stake-like [thing] erected on the beach.

At first, everyone thought that someone had erected a log on the beach.

Who knew that the stove men who carried the water were all so frightened that they sat in the tide after seeing the [wood] clearly.

A few rough-skinned women screamed in amazement.

The screams attracted people who were carrying water into the brine pool.

When they looked closer, they realized that the wood-like thing was actually a man with his feet tied up and buried in the sand from the waist up.

A few young men had the courage to dig up the sand and dig the man out.

At the moment when the person's face was revealed, someone exclaimed: "It's Aunt Zheng!" It's Uncle Zheng's family! ”

At this time, the organic spirit people found that early this morning, Lao Zheng Tou did not go to work.

Some of these people soon rushed back to inform Lao Zheng Tou.

But when these people came to Lao Zhengtou's house, they found that the house was empty, there was no one, and there was only a rotten wooden door that had been violently kicked down.

Just when everyone was in a circle, looking at the miserable appearance of Lao Zheng Tou's house, a voice suddenly came: "What the hell are you doing together?" Don't go to work today? ”

Everyone turned their heads to look and found that it was Lu San, the head of the stove.

Regardless of the men or women at the scene, they all trembled and lowered their heads after seeing Lu San.

Lu San walked closer and found that it was a female corpse, especially buried under the beach below the head, which was already white and swollen because of the soaking of the seawater. Hurry up and find two people to carry her away and bury her! ”

There was finally a bold and timid voice in the crowd: "Third Master Lu, this is the mother-in-law of the old Zheng family, they have already gone to look for Lao Zheng, are you waiting for the family to come?" ”

Lu San was furious when he heard this: "This dead man is soaking on the beach, the salt you boil is stinky, hurry up, carry it away for Lao Tzu!" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and selected two people to carefully carry the mother-in-law of the old Zheng family back.

Lu San saw that the crowd still did not disperse, he took out the whip and slapped the face of these stove men more than ten times, and he didn't look at people, anyway, he was pumped, and the whip hit the bodies of these people, and several strong men showed hatred on their faces, but still no one dared to come forward.

Lu San was tired and scolded: "Stepping on a horse, cheap embryo, you rent Lao Tzu's brine pond, burn Lao Tzu's reeds, delay the salt, Lao Tzu wants your life, don't hurry up to Lao Tzu to work!" ”

When the crowd heard this, they began to move slowly.

At this moment, suddenly a stove soldier not far from the shore came over with a gong, and the man shouted while striking the gong: "Send one person from each hall to the courtyard in front of the field chief's house, there is good news......

Seeing this, Lu San smiled and went to inspect other places with his hands behind his back.

The people who had just been frightened here sent a few representatives to gather in the drying field in front of Dou Chang's house.

After all the people in Lu San's halls arrived, the drying hall was already crowded with hundreds of people.

The crowd gathered together to discuss, wondering what the good news was.

At this time, Lao Zheng disappeared, and the news that his wife was inserted upside down on the beach also spread.

Lao Zheng is really respected among these poor stove smokers on weekdays, and people lament the death of Lao Zheng's wife, and they are also worried about where Lao Zheng went.

At this stall, the gate of the courtyard of the Dou family opened, and more than forty salt soldiers came out of it at once, these salt soldiers carried big knives at their waists and chains in their hands, and surrounded the crowd in the middle one by one.

Seeing this, the cooks suddenly felt bad, and the discussion became louder and louder.

After a while, the ambassador of the tea field, Dou Matong, walked out of the compound surrounded by a group of stove heads and armor chiefs.

As soon as he stood still, Chief Dou went straight to the point and said that the price of private salt was reduced to 2 cents per catty.

Unsurprisingly, the crowd erupted in a lot of chatter.

Dou Matong looked at everyone coldly, and after a while, when the crowd's discussion gradually subsided, he clapped his hands.

At this time, a group of salt soldiers, in groups of two, each dragged more than 20 people out of the courtyard again.

Everyone looked at it, and the gray-haired old man who was dying at the head was not in the old Zheng head?

"Yes, it's Lao Zhengtou!"

"This ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Look, the monkeys are among them!"

"The cripple is also there!"

The crowd was shocked to find that the crowd that was dragged out was a group of people who spoke and acted fairly among the bitter haha.

These people are uncles and brothers in their hearts, and they are the brothers who lead everyone to endure this dark day.

But now, they, they are all tortured like skinned pheasants.

Chief Dou was very satisfied with everyone's reaction.

He said lightly: "These people got together last night and tried to collude with Jiang Yanpu's Lei Jun to rebel, and now they have been wiped out by me!" ”

"What? Uncle Zheng is such a kind person on weekdays, how can he be a bandit? ”

"The monkey is going to marry his daughter-in-law next month, saying that he is a bandit? Bullshit! ”

"It's a frame-up!"

"Yes, it's a frame-up!"

Seeing that the crowd was restless again, Dou Changchang sneered: "Do you think they were framed? ”

The crowd was silent, but the hatred in everyone's eyes told Dou Matong that they were trying their best to endure.

Dou Matong didn't care, he saw a lot of eyes like this.

What if these don't dare to take him at all?

Dou Matong said: "To tell you the truth, that's right, I just framed them, how about it?" Now that the two Huai Salt Divisions have not yet been judged, I am talking here and foaming at a nail, I am your God, understand? ”

After a pause, he continued: "Besides, this time the private salt was purchased by the field, and that was ......."

When he said this, he arched his hand towards the north and said, "That's what His Majesty the Emperor and his old man meant, do you still dare to rebel?" ”

Seeing that the crowd was still silent, Dou Matong thought that everyone was stupid when they heard that this was the emperor's meaning, and he said proudly: "That's it, in the future, two cents and one pound of salt, don't be lazy for a month, give me a hard time, work hard, and make money to buy new clothes for my wife and children......"

Before his words fell, suddenly someone in the crowd shouted: "Buy your mother's clothes, it's not enough for the fucking family to eat and drink, where can I dry more salt for you!" ”

"Who! Who was talking just now? It's the guys who stand up by themselves, don't bother others! Dou Matong was scolded, his whole face turned red, and he rushed into the crowd like crazy, looking for the person who had just spoken.

Who knows, at this time, someone else scolded: "It's a fight with the special mother, these people don't treat us as human beings, and we have to die with them!" ”

"Coax ......"

As if people wanted to explode the pot, those standing on the periphery went to grab the weapons in the hands of the salt soldiers, and those standing inside even pressed Dou Matong to the ground and punched and kicked them.

Confusion...... Crazy...... At this moment, the grievance suddenly erupted like a volcano.

"Old thief Dou has been killed!" I don't know who shouted.

The matter was so big that the stove, armor chief, and salt soldiers who were desperately trying to save people just now were instantly stunned.

At this time, someone in the group of stoves scolded: "Fuck, kill these people, brothers run away!" ”
