Puzhou City further to the east, less than thirty miles, is the state border.

To the east of the state border is the territory of Hedong Province.

Li Daoxuan's empathy first jumped to the nitrate pond, there is a large salt village, all of which are controlled by Gaojia Village, where the salt craftsmen dig the salt pond to dry the salt, and send the finished salt to Puzhou City in a steady stream.

The salt craftsmen here are all "skilled workers", so they all receive a month's salary of three taels of silver in Gaojia Village, and they are all their own people, and almost everyone has cotton thread embroidered on their chests.

Li Daoxuan felt their bodies, swept them quickly, and knew that the iron bird was not here, so he continued to ......

The foreground is dark.

He found himself in a dark gutter.

Inside the gutter lay a corpse, and the chest of the corpse was embroidered with a cotton thread celestial.

Li Daoxuan was suddenly furious: Who? Kill my own villain?

He looked closely, and the corpse was supposed to be one of Iron Bird Fei's men, who had been stabbed in the neck and died, and the body had been thrown into the gutter.

Li Daoxuan's vision turned, and he found that there were several similar corpses piled up in the gutter, it seemed that Tie Niaofei's subordinates had suffered heavy casualties, and they were all confessed here.

Forcibly suppress his anger and continue to jump to the medium.

Thousands of meters to the east, he sensed another medium, and Li Daoxuan jumped forward again.

It was pitch black again.

Apparently jumping into a small dark room, nodding the oil lamp in the corner of the room, making the surroundings faintly visible.

Li Daoxuan saw clearly, this was a dungeon, and he felt the cotton thread Tianzun on Iron Bird Fei's chest...... There was a strong smell of blood in his nose, and the Cotton Thread Tianzun had been stained red with blood.

Iron Bird Fei was obviously seriously injured, his body was covered in blood, his hands were chained, and he was curled up on a haystack in the corner of the room to sleep.

Li Daoxuan looked around: the four walls of the room were all dirt, there were no windows, it was obvious that it was dug into the ground, this is a dungeon!

Iron Bird Fei's men were killed, and he himself was captured.

Who did this to you?

Li Daoxuan was about to gently wake up the iron bird flying to ask questions, when he suddenly heard footsteps, and then there was a creak, and the sound of the door opening sounded in the darkness ahead, and a group of people walked in.

The first person, wearing an official uniform, looked like a court official, but Li Daoxuan had never seen him and didn't know him.

Behind this official, there were two men dressed as businessmen, and several guards.

A group of people entered the dungeon and stood in front of Iron Bird Fly, and then one of the guards stepped forward and poured a basin of water on Iron Bird Fly.

At this time, it was winter, and as soon as the water was splashed, the iron bird was immediately awakened.

Cotton thread Tianzun was also splashed wet.

Iron Bird Fei opened his eyes and said in a weak voice, "Hey...... Shioji-sama...... You're here again? ”

Li Daoxuan understands this time, Salt Division! The court official in front of him is a salt class, of course, it is the salt department of Hedong Province, and there is nothing else except this.

Why did this man strike at the Iron Bird? Aren't they on good terms?

The salt division said in a deep voice: "Say! Why did Huang Yunfa's salt lead fall into your hands? Who killed Huang Yunfa? ”

Iron Bird Fly: "I've said it 10,000 times, I killed Huang Yunfa, and I robbed him of his salt." If you want salt, just quote a price...... There's no need to ...... Such a suspicious ......"

"Fart!" A businessman behind the Salt Division dressed up and said, "It's up to you? You are a little salt lord, you only have dozens of smuggling salt dealers, and you can't even hold half a pillar of incense under our guards, and you can also move Huang Yunfa? ”

Tie Bird Fei said to the man: "Zhai Tang, don't underestimate people, if you hadn't attacked Lao Tzu, the dozens of people under Lao Tzu would have killed all of you." ”

As soon as Li Daoxuan heard the name Zhai Tang, his brows furrowed.

Jin Shang!

It is also a Jin merchant, and it is one of the eight Jin merchants who are as famous as Huang Yunfa.

At this moment, Li Daoxuan could basically guess what was going on.

Last time, everyone killed Huang Yunfa and removed the traitor for the country, Tie Niaofei took Huang Yunfa's salt lead, exchanged this for a large amount of official salt, and transported it to Gaojia Village.

At that time, everyone relied on Huang Yunfa's death on Liukou, and this matter was over, but the enemy was smarter than expected, and the cause of Huang Yunfa's death, it seemed that they wanted to be careful, so they followed the salt guide and found out to Tie Bird Fei's body.

Zhai Tang sneered: "Tie Bird Fei, there is someone behind you, right?" Who is supporting you against our Jin merchants? ”

Iron Bird Fly: "There is no one behind me, only God!" I have a god in my head. You traitors who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and sent military supplies to Jiannu will kill yourself if you do many injustices. ”

Zhai Tang sneered: "When did the smuggler become a self-proclaimed righteous person?" You're doing something illegal, don't make yourself a hero. ”

Tie Niao Fei: "Although Lao Tzu is not a good person, he is not a traitor." After speaking, his eyes turned to the salt department: "You are still an official of the imperial court, but you are in collusion with the Jin merchants, I bah, you are not even as good as a smuggler of salt." Lao Tzu only sold salt to the Ming Dynasty, but you, the dog official, sold it to Jiannu......"

The salt division kicked the iron bird in the stomach.

Iron Bird Fei's body shrunk into a ball, looking extremely painful, but his teeth were clenched, and he still didn't intend to say half a superfluous word.

Shioji: "I can't ask anything useful from this guy's mouth, so let's just kill him." ”

Zhai Tang shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry to kill!" Why he killed Huang Yunfa hasn't been figured out yet. Although this guy said that he was killing a traitor, God knows if he was really for this, maybe it was to rob Huang Yunfa's salt? If someone is eyeing our Jin Shang's salt introduction and wants to grab it, then there will be other actions in the follow-up. ”

The salt division spreads his hands.

Zhai Tang: "Even if he doesn't say anything, as long as he stays here, it's useful." If there is no one behind him, he will be locked up until death. If there is someone behind him, that person will come to him and save him, and then we will know who is behind him. Hmph, dare to move our Jin merchants, it's really tired. ”

Salt Division: "Don't make trouble for this official." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out.

Zhai Tang squatted down in front of Tie Bird Fei and smiled: "Tie Bird Fei, our patience is limited, you confess the people behind you, I will give you a way to live, this is the last offer, you can do it." ”

Iron Bird Fei laughed: "Zhai Tang, I'll let you quote a price too, how do you want to die easier?" As long as the offer is reasonable, I may be able to promise to make you suffer less. ”

Zhai Tang stood up with a slam.

The other businessman dressed as a businessman didn't speak until then he said, "Brother Zhai, let's go, don't waste time on him." ”

Zhai Tang: "Brother Tian is right, and the two of them turned around and walked out of the cell. ”
