The boat went all the way, and the guy never woke up.

Xu Yong wanted to speak several times, but he held back several times.

Finally, when he was about to get close to Zhangcha, Xu Yong said, "Young Master Crane ......"

After speaking, he glanced at the young man lying in the cabin and said, "I went to Zhangcha with the eldest master a few years ago, and that person's accent is Zhangcha!" This bone ...... on the eye"

Xu He smiled: "It's okay, we are going to Zhangcha and no one knows about it in advance, so people will never send a spy to wait for us on the road, right?" ”

Xu Yong frowned and said, "Having said that, it's not a good thing to carry a stranger on the ship, and it's such a sensitive time. And this person has a dark complexion, his hands are very thick calluses, and he looks like a cooker who has been working all year round, in case everyone suddenly gets into trouble, this ......"

Xu He looked at the guy, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "If he is a stove Ding, the injury on this body must be caused by fleeing, I heard that over the years, the stove has annexed the brine pool, and the ordinary stove household has no way to continue, and he can't engage in other business in the salt farm, so he can only be a fugitive, in the end, he is a poor person, let him rest well, and then send some money!" ”

Xu Yong saw that Xu He had his own opinions, so he couldn't persuade him again.

Xu Peng, who was on the side, leaned over at this time and asked, "Brother He'er, it's almost time to get to the tea soon, what should we do?" ”

Xu He was thinking about this problem all the way, and finally came to the conclusion that he had to inquire about where Chen Hua was now, after all, he represented the will of the government, and his words still counted as points, of course, if the imperial court still had some credibility in the Zhangcha Salt Field.

Secondly, it is to find a salt worker named Lao Zheng Tou, the specific name is not clear, but according to Zhang Panlong, Xu Song once went to Zhangcha, and this salt worker named Lao Zheng Tou was once responsible for setting up a boat to send them back to Hailing.

On the way, Xu Song had a conversation with Lao Zheng Tou, and felt that he was an honest and loyal person, and he spoke and acted very measuredly, and Xu Song also rewarded him with some silver at that time, although the identities of the two were very different, but Xu Song was very happy along the way, and he was also very impressed by this old Zheng Tou.

Later, when he went home, he told Zhang Panlong about it, and Zhang Panlong remembered it like this.

However, Zhang Panlong didn't know what the specific name of the other party was, and he was still alive, but the Dou family, a family that had been close to the Xu family for decades, was now impacted, and the Xu family urgently needed someone who could understand the cause of the incident in the tea field, so helplessly, Zhang Panlong reminded Xu He, the old Zheng Tou, of the matter.

"In other words, we can only find out how this thing broke out, where is the source of the outbreak, and why there was such a big conflict at that time, to the point that the two Huai salt farms have to kill officials and rebel!"

"Only by figuring out these things can we have the next step."

Xu Peng nodded: "Then if things change and the negotiation fails, then the stoves in the salt field will suffer, and the court will not let them go." ”

Xu He said with a solemn face: "No matter what, I will definitely do my best to persuade Zhang Bingxian not to fight each other, it is not easy for the stoves, life is already precarious, in the final analysis, yes...... It was the court and those people who failed them! ”

Who those people represented, it couldn't be clearer than those present, Xu Yong has been guarding Kong Huaitang, and he has a full view of the ugliness of the clan elders who are singing every night in Kong Huaitang these days.

He also went out with the eldest master to see the world, and such a scene disappointed him.

From the very beginning, he knew that the second master Xu Dai was not the material of the head of the family, let alone an official.

But he didn't expect that the family would seem to have slipped into the abyss in just over ten days.

Now that I think about it, aren't it those guys who are staggered with the Xu family to die?

And they have failed the Xu family, the eldest man who has worked hard for so many years, and they have also failed the cooks who have supported their Xu family's industry for decades.

In the face of interests, the Xu family's approach is to exchange their interests and lives for Xu Dai's own official hat and those salts.

This is lying on the body of the stove Ding to suck blood!

Everyone fell silent when they heard Xu He's words, and the boat was silent for a while, only the tumultuous water rolled eastward.

When Xu He and the others came to the village near Zhangcha, they found that black smoke was rising from the tea field in the distance.

Now no one knows better than Xu He what it represents, and when he thinks of the original Dong'an Town, it is also so smoky, which represents the collapse of order and the fluctuation of people's hearts.

Seeing this scene, everyone's faces became grim.

Close to the tea field, there is no one outside the field, and all you see along the road are the stove rooms and brine ponds that have been destroyed.

There are also the corpses of some salt soldiers dressed in the word "salt" exposed.

The crowd of people who came and went looked at them with vigilance and hatred on the three boats, and they were well-dressed.

Along the way, Xu He noticed that most of these people were unkempt and poorly clothed, and some children were naked, with bulging bellies and black faces.

Some old women walked to the beach with the help of their grandchildren and granddaughters.

Xu Yong said softly: "They all went to the beach to pick up some seafood!" ”

Xu He looked at the scene in front of him and frowned, "Why don't these people look very good?" ”

Xu Yong sighed: "The women in the salt field are burning the stove almost day and night, smoky and burning, most of their eyes are not very good, and even some of the older ones are almost completely blind!" ”

Xu He knew that these stoves and their families were having a hard time, but he didn't expect it to be ......

Just as the boat was slowly passing through the salt pan, a gong suddenly sounded, and a large group of young men rushed towards Xu He and the others on both sides of the river.

This battle suddenly startled the Xu Mansion warriors in the two boats behind.

Xu Yong beckoned Xiao Er and the latter two boats to pass quickly.

But soon, someone was already throwing wood into the river to block the waterway on the waterway in front of him, and when he looked in the direction he came, the same was true for the back road.

Xu Yong is responsible for Xu He's safety, and he is calmer than others.

He shouted in a deep voice: "Stop the boat, everyone ashore!" ”

Soon, the three boats stopped, and the warriors of the Xu family surrounded Xu He on a small hill on the shore to protect him.

They had just organized their defensive formation, and the crowd had already surrounded them three layers inside and three layers outside.

Seeing this, Xu He said loudly: "I'm from Hailing County!" Where is the order of Chen County in my county? ”

He asked three times in a row, but no one answered.

The crowd just looked at them with indifferent eyes, and the air was eerily silent.

At this moment, someone suddenly came from a distance, this was also a swarthy man in his twenties, I saw him look at Xu He and the others and replied: "They are also the people brought by the dog official, brothers, they have been captured together!" When the time comes, when the imperial court sends troops, use them as shields! ”
