Zhang Luo saw the scars on the three arms of the iron rod.

Suddenly asked:

"Iron rod three, have you heard of the ghost market?"

"Of course I've heard of it, not only have I heard of it, but I've been there."

"Then do you know the smuggler in the ghost market?"

Iron Stick Three narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Little Master, what do you want to know?"

"What do you know?"

"The number one person in the county, I know all three of them."

"As long as you mix in the county, you will listen to my orders."

Zhang Luo said calmly:

"Iron rod three, you are now in Zhenhaiwei."

"It's not that you can do evil in the county!"

The three iron rods laughed and said:

"I can tell you everything I know."

"But I have the conditions."

Zhang Luo asked in a heavy voice:

"What do you want?"

"It's very simple, I want to follow the little master."

"What? Why are you following me? ”

"Didn't you notice that Zhenhaiwei was poor?"

Iron Stick San waved his hand and said:

"At the beginning of the year, a Taoist priest calculated a hexagram for me."

"Say I'll meet the Lord this year."

"Presumably, the little young master is the master of what the Taoist priest said."

Zhang Luo is still self-aware of his temperament.

He didn't realize that he had captured the iron rod three.

He will change his mind and be his little brother obediently.

Iron Bar Three wants to stay in Zhenhaiwei.

I'm afraid it's uneasy and kind.

But now Zhang Luo needs the news in his hands.

So he deliberately said:

"You'll have to tell me about the salt dealers first."

Iron Stick San smiled and touched his stubble and said:

"The person who sells salt in the ghost market is named Zhu Xiaoer."

"A few years ago, I was a furnace owner in the Fuzhou salt factory."

It's really the furnace of the salt farm.

That's why I can take out so much coarse salt from the Fuzhou salt farm.

"I used to be a furnace household, why do I switch to selling illicit salt now?"

According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, once you enter a certain household registration.

That future generations will be of this origin.

The furnace household is the salt worker in the salt works.

Could it be that a furnace household can turn back into a civilian?

Iron Rod Three continued:

"Of course, Zhu Xiaoer is still the identity of the furnace household."

"But he took his brother and started to be a pirate."

"Now I buy and sell with the Japanese Bandits."

Pirates, pirates, alas.

Zhang Luo sighed lightly.

I've been in Zhenhaiwei for so long.

It's time to meet a few big villains.

"Then Zhu Xiaoer was blackmailed by the Japanese Bandits."

"Or is it the pirate he intends to be?"

Iron Bar Three took a few steps, held his right leg and said:

"I'm really not sure about this."

"Little master, you read a lot, I believe you can come up with the answer by yourself."

Iron Rod said again:

"Zhu Xiaoer was a big furnace household in Fuzhou Salt Farm before."

"Although life was still hard, I didn't think about it at that time."

"But six months ago, the Fuzhou salt field was in trouble."

"I was robbed by a gang of robbers."

Zhang Luo asked puzzledly:

"Isn't it common to be robbed by thieves now?"

"Could it be that if your own house is robbed, you will degenerate into a thief to rob other people?"

Tie Bang San took a sip of cold water and said with a smile:

"Little master, don't worry, listen to me slowly."

"Salt works are a common occurrence."

"But this is not the right time of suffering."

"Last year, the prefect of Fuzhou, Lord Li, took office from Beijing."

"I took it in my hand and asked for a thousand salt from the household department."

"I'm going to steal it to the Fuzhou salt factory to pick up salt."

"At that time, the Fuzhou salt factory said that there was not enough refined salt, and it was impossible to get a thousand taels of salt."

"But just two months later, the Fuzhou salt field was robbed of 800 taels of salt."

This time Zhang Luo made it clear.

Some important officials of the imperial court would ask the court for salt quotations in front of the outside.

When I get to the place, I go to pick up salt.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, too much salt was issued, causing the salt goods to swell.

It often happens that you can't get salt when you hold it.

Insufficient refined salt is a common means for salt farms to cope with the above.

The prefect of Fuzhou is often replaced.

I don't know which day, Master Li will be transferred.

A thousand salt drawers will be gone.

It's a bad thing.

I just explained to Master Li that there is not enough refined salt.

Within a few months, he was robbed by a few hundred thieves.

Isn't this just a slap in the face of Governor Li?

Governor Li had a close relationship with Gonggong Lu in the imperial court.

Such a big thing will naturally not pass in a blur.

Iron Stick Three saw Zhang Luo with a look of understanding.

To continue:

"The little young master must have already understood the reason."

"Governor Li stabbed the matter to the imperial court."

"Now the political envoy can't hold it down."

"Forced the Fuzhou Salt Farm, and within three months, make up 2,000 refined salt to Governor Li."

"Two thousand refined salt, that's seven or eight hundred thousand catties!"

So much refined salt can't be produced in Fuzhou salt farms for more than half a year.

The stove in this end is out of luck.

Iron Rodsan sighed heavily and said:

"Governor Li is still not relieved."

"Order the prefect's guards to go to the salt works to supervise the work."

"The furnace owners are there every day and every night."

"It didn't take long for a dozen of them to die of exhaustion."

"Governor Li also put down his cruel words."

"I can't hand over the salt in three months."

"Therefore they were sent to the seashore as slaves."

"I wish Xiao Er a little prestige among the furnace households."

"Seeing that everyone's lives were in danger, a group of people killed the overseer together."

"They all went to the seas to be pirates."

"So, it's really impossible to say whether this Zhu Xiaoer is a thief voluntarily."

Zhang Luo looked at Tie Ba San without thinking.

Didn't continue to speak.

Iron Stick Three looked at Zhang Luo and didn't react.

He sighed lightly and said:

"Is there anything else that the young master wants to know?"

Zhang Luo shook his head and said:

"Now I'm sure you have some intention of staying in Zhenhaiwei."

"From this day onwards, you will stay in the temple honestly."

"I'll ask Ah Gong to find someone to keep an eye on you every day."

Iron Stick pointed to his discounted right leg and said:

"I'm a cripple, what bad can I do?"

Zhang Luo looked at the iron rod three and said:

"I can't trust you."

The third master of the iron rod also had nothing to say.

Moved his arm iron rod three said:

"Tell the young master one more thing."

"I wish Xiao Er to open a salt farm on Dingyan Island not far away."

"A gang of pirates, about twenty people."

"With Zhen Haiwei's formation, it should be easy to take them down."

Zhang Luo brought the iron rod three back to the temple.

I found Zhang Ah Gong again and told him about the iron rod three.

Zhang Agong Ma found a clansman.

The iron rod was locked up in the confinement room of the ancestral hall.

The confinement house, as the name suggests, is a place where the clansmen make mistakes and are confined.

After the iron rod is closed three times.

Zhang Luo will be on the ghost market.

Zhang and told Zhang Ah Gong about being stalked.

Zhang Ah Gong pestle on crutches and said:

"This Dingyan Island is a very small island on the other side of the mountain."

"There are a lot of mosquitoes on the island, and the pirates don't look down on it."

"I didn't expect Zhu Xiaoer to occupy the island."

"It's a pity that Zhu Xiaoer didn't go to the thief book of the Fu Fujian Preparedness Division."

"There is no military merit in killing him."

Zhang Luo asked puzzledly:

"Didn't the imperial court have a decree, and there will be a heavy reward for exterminating the Japanese invaders."
