There are many salt merchants in Zhangzhou, it is a place where the farts are oily and the crotch is oily, as the so-called full of warmth and lust, if people eat too much, they are easy to be perverted.

Those high-ranking officials and magnates are simply perverted to the point of outrageousness, they love to see beauties, and even more love to see beauties cry, torturing them with indescribable means.

This pair of golden and jade sons, who are also cold and plum bones, are even more powerful when they are humiliated.

The marks on Gu Qing's neck were left at that time, and in addition, there were countless scars on his body. They don't dare to think about how many days have passed like that, they just feel that every moment is like a year.

When the dignified man found them, the two of them only had a breath left, because they were teased by a prostitute, mistakenly believing that the other party would help them escape, and were caught and beaten half to death by the people in the restaurant, and the mouth was stuffed with a rag to prevent them from committing suicide.

At that time, they had already fallen into syncope, and they were also sick, and if they were found a few days later, the Great Luo Immortal would be helpless.

Since then, the two have been recuperating in the backyard of the princess's mansion, and their health has improved for half a year, but they have never had any communication with Princess Duanrong, until Duanrong showed them the letters of their family, and they learned that Princess Duanrong actually secretly rescued their family, and then finally spat out.

Although they knew that Princess Duanrong was by no means a good stubble, and there must be a plan to control their family, there would be no worse situation than their situation, even if they had to exchange their lives, at least their family could be taken care of.

Duan Rong didn't go around in circles with them, promising that as long as they used it for themselves, they would try to avenge them, and their surviving family members would naturally be safe and sound.

The place where Duanrong wanted them to go was Zhangzhou, which they regarded as a nightmare, but unlike their previous fears, this time the two of them regarded death as home.

Zhangzhou is rich in salt and iron by the sea, and it is obviously a rich and oily territory, but the people live in poverty, and beggars can be seen everywhere on the street.

The life of the fishermen is even more stretched, and all industries are secretly monopolized by local officials, but it is Zhangzhou, which is close to the sea, and the life of fishermen is still like this, let alone others.

Zhangzhou does not allow the people to produce their own salt, and fishing also has to be carried out at various levels, as well as heavy taxes.

The people are miserable, and the officials are full of money.

But why no one has revealed it, because the person behind the salt merchant is Kou Ningyu, the elder brother of the empress dowager of the dynasty, the Kou family is powerful, the emperor is the puppet of the Kou family, and the excerpt of impeachment has not yet been sent to the emperor, and the soldiers who took people to prison have already killed the door of the person who impeached the official.

Who would dare to reveal? That is, you don't want your own life and put the whole family in danger?

Zhangzhou Mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Kou Ningyu is poor and extravagant, he actually built a "palace" by himself, and the appearance is somewhat similar to the palace, his backyard has not a hundred people but also eighty people, men and women do not pick meat and vegetarian food, the harem is more prosperous than the emperor, there are thirty-eight sons alone, more than Gan Qiongying's shadow guards.

What's even more terrifying is that he also likes to torture and kill.

Most of the young men and women who disappeared inexplicably in many villages were related to him, and those parents who had lost their children had no way to ask for help, if they caught up with Kou Ningyu in a good mood, they might get a soothing sum of money, and if they caught up with him in a bad mood, the family would not be spared.

Zhangzhou is a demon cave that sucks the flesh and blood of the people, Princess Duanrong had already sent someone to make plans on the day the Gu family suffered, but the time was not ripe, and later learned that the two sons were sold to Zhangzhou, she did not rush to rescue, but quietly saved their families.

It wasn't until the two of them were cornered, all their arrogance and righteousness were shattered, and they were desperately holding on to the edge of life and death, she made a move.

Sure enough, it was easy for the two of them to die for her use.

She hired someone to teach these two sons various skills, and created two people according to Kou Ningyu's preferences, of course, all this was done voluntarily by the two of them, they wanted to avenge their families, this is the only way.

To walk the road that was once full of thorns again, the two did not hesitate at all, the service of Israel was something they were forced to accept in Zhangzhou, but now they want to use these to collect the facts of the crime of Kou Ningyu, the salt capital of Zhangzhou.

Their previous experience gave them some understanding of salt merchants, and no one was more suitable to go to Zhangzhou to find out the news.

The two of them did not fully recover, and they originally had to recuperate, but recently someone in the family fell ill, and during this time, because Lihua was in charge of the princess's mansion, all the expenses were reduced, and they could not give the family enough money.

They didn't know that it was Lihua who was controlling the spending, and they failed to spend the money several times, making them think that they were useless and had been abandoned.

Without the protection of the princess, their families would have nowhere to go, and the families of the harbored criminals would not have to do anything, as long as they appeared, they would become the target of public criticism.

They simply can't survive.

Gan Qiongying thought of this and looked at the two kneeling on the ground, according to Princess Duanrong's arrangement, these two people basically went to Zhangzhou this time and did not return.

But the resoluteness and determination in the eyes of the two of them obviously gambled their lives for their families.

Too many people in this world have no choice, such as Princess Duanrong, such as this pair of twins. Gan Qiongying was full of emotion in her heart, why is she not one of them now?

What Gan Qiongying didn't know was that Gu Qing and Gu Ming had already prepared the poison, which was hidden in their teeth at the moment, and if they didn't succeed, they would cut themselves off and never implicate anyone.

"Princess!"

Gu Qing knelt on the ground and slammed his head down, "Our two brothers will definitely find evidence for the princess that can bring down Zhang Zhou Yandu," he said in a resolute voice, "Do everything we can to collect clues, if we don't succeed, we will kill ourselves." ”

Gan Qiongying thought about it, she thought of Kou Ning'an's clothes, and thought of the decorations in the palace of the elderly, even as the queen mother, it was a little too extravagant, the huge clan of the Kou clan needed to consume countless amounts of money in all aspects, but no matter how much corruption as an official in the court, it could not compare to the income of the salt merchants.

Kou Ningyu is also really bold, he exploited the people in Nanzhao, sold illicit salt, and even colluded with the Beiyu country across the sea.

It has a monopoly on fishing and smelting, and has close ties with Beiyu, a country that lives by the sea.

Beiyu is good at water warfare, but the land area is very small, and it needs to buy a lot of food from Nanzhao, and Kou Ningyu has been supplying him with various items for a long time.

Princess Duanrong has already investigated the details clearly, but because there is no evidence, and even more so because the court is controlled by the Kou family, and the emperor has no right to adjudicate.

But she actually wanted to cut off the economic lifeline that the Kou family relied on for survival, and I have to say that this idea hit the nail on the head, allowing Kou Ning'an to take care of one thing and lose the other, so as to save Gan Lin.

The idea is right.

But to realize this plan is tantamount to a fool's dream.
