Chapter 224: The Puzzle

Chen Ao watched the man go away, thinking to himself, this man was still repeating my instructions when he was leaving, it seems that he is a cautious person, and there will be no problem with him to pass on the message. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The reason why he specifically told him was because he had already planned it. Although the martial arts of these stewards are not very strong, if they get together, they are far from being able to deal with their thirty or so people. Therefore, it is necessary to divide and annihilate. Now Zhang Mu has taken the lead in reporting to the Ghost Gate, just waiting for a few others.

The messenger came from place to place, and naturally it took a lot of time. As long as he said that 100,000 was urgent, these stewards would definitely rush over non-stop, which formed a time difference, resulting in them inevitably having a first and a last. It's a lot easier to solve them one by one.

Of course, the bag of silver in Chen Ao's hand is also a key. If they didn't let those people know that there was a huge amount of gold and silver waiting for them, I am afraid they might not be very active.

Chen Ao instructed Qian Laosan to lead the way for Zhang Mu, which was called leading the way, but it was actually a send-off. He wasn't worried at all, because early this morning, everyone had made sufficient preparations and set up all kinds of traps, which were far from comparable to the haste they had when they dealt with Ma Zongkui last night.

As long as Zhang Mu steps into the trap, he will definitely never be able to escape!

A sneer appeared at the corner of Chen Ao's mouth. Peng Shugen suddenly said: "Chen Ao, I'm afraid you will make a big disturbance this time." Don't forget, in addition to the five stewards of this salt farm, there are guards on the perimeter. If they find out, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive!"

Chen Ao knew that he was still difficult to change his cautious, timid and cowardly character, so he smiled and said: "Uncle Peng, everything has me, you can rest assured! We have got a few stewards, and we have to go non-stop to win people's hearts! You are all my backbone, as long as all the stewards enter the trap, you must immediately disperse to all the salt pans and pull all the coolies over!"

Peng Shugen said: "This matter is no problem!"

Chen Ao nodded, his own "descendant army" of more than 30 people, after many days of ideological education, has become a long-tested loyal soldier. In addition, I have heard too many stories about the heroes of the Water Margin, and the idea of rebellion is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. With them spreading ideas everywhere, we will be able to bring in more teams soon.

Thinking that there were more and more people under his command and the team was getting bigger and bigger, Chen Ao couldn't help but laugh. I didn't expect that I actually had the temperament of a leader, which called the serfs turn over and sing, and the happy song spread everywhere!

After waiting for a long time, Chen Ao saw Qian Laosan walking over with a spring breeze on his face. He must know in his heart that Zhang Mu has finally fallen into his hands. It seems that everything is well organized and there are no problems.

Qian Laosan reported on the process of capturing Zhang Mu, and Chen Ao didn't have much to listen to. He's thinking about the future. What Peng Shugen brought up is indeed a tricky matter. Although these outer guards don't get into the salt pan very much, if they don't get these people done, sooner or later they will be exposed.

Chen Ao waited for about an hour, and the other three stewards came over one after another. When Chen Ao saw everyone, he said the same thing, and then stuffed two pieces of silver into the other party. Anyway, it's not my own money that I spend, so I don't feel distressed at all.

Then, Qian Laosan led them to the trap set up and caught turtles in an urn. In half a day's effort, I caught four turtles. Together with Ma Zongkui, the five stewards were tightly bound and thrown into the stone house where the salt was kept, and kept under strict guard.

The coolies never thought that the stewardship of the entire salt works would fall into their own hands. Looking at the appearance of those people begging for mercy, they found that these people were no different from them. I know that it hurts when I am beaten, and when I am in a life and death situation, I will also pee my pants. At this time, the people were emboldened and more confident.

Chen Ao sent Peng Shugen and others out to preach and mobilize in every district in charge, tell other coolies what happened, and win them in. Of course, if you don't want to, you won't be embarrassed, but you will be locked up so as not to leak the news.

This matter was busy until late at night, and almost the coolies of the entire salt field became Chen Ao's people, and there were more than 200 people. Except for a few who were too timid and were locked in the hut, everyone else was excited and eager to try. If Chen Ao hadn't stopped them, they would have rushed into the stone house and beaten a few stewards to death.

By the next morning, it was already obvious that the atmosphere of the entire salt pan had changed. With no one to work with tools, everything comes to a standstill. Although everyone followed Chen Ao's orders and tried not to make a disturbance, if this continues, it is inevitable that people will still see clues.

Chen Ao paced back and forth in the shack twice, a little worried. He suddenly said to Peng Shugen, who was a little nervous on the side: "Uncle Peng, you once told me that there is another boss in the Fugui Salt Farm, named Zhou Fugui, right?"

Peng Shugen admired Chen Ao's memory a little, and this matter was only briefly mentioned once, and Chen Ao remembered it in his heart. He nodded and said, "That's right, that Zhou Fugui is indeed the owner of the Fugui Salt Farm. However, since the Earth Demon Gate became the master, Zhou Fugui has also become a puppet!"

Chen Ao pondered for a moment, as if he was saying to himself: "I hope this puppet can still be of some use!"

He asked, "Is Zhou Fugui still in the salt farm?"

Peng Shugen said: "The Disha Gate guards him very tightly, and he is not allowed to go out if there is nothing to do." Over the years, although Zhou Fugui has said that he has not worried about eating and drinking, he has not lived comfortably, and he has borrowed wine all day long to drown his sorrows!"

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Borrowing wine to drown his sorrows? This shows that he is still unwilling in his heart, and it is just for us! Let's go, let's go to him!"

Peng Shugen and Qian Laosan were a little puzzled. Zhou Fugui and they have seen it many times, and it is really not a character who can be of any use. It is said that Zhou Fugui not only occupied the salt farm, but even his wife was taken away by a steward. And this week, Fugui didn't have any backbone, he didn't even dare to make trouble, he only knew that he was drunk all day long, and he didn't care about anything.

Can such a person still help deal with the guards of the salt works? Peng Shugen and Qian Laosan were deeply skeptical. But they are convinced of Chen Ao, as long as Chen Ao believes in something, they feel that they will be able to succeed. Therefore, the two happily took Chen Ao to Zhou Fugui's hut.

This hut, located in the middle of the salt works, was originally built for the convenience of managing the salt works. Now it's convenient to restrict Zhou Fugui's freedom. Chen Ao gently pushed open the hidden door, and a pungent sour smell and the smell of wine came to his nose.

All three frowned at the same time. In the coolie's hut, there are all kinds of unpleasant smells. But it's nowhere near as bad as the smell in this room. It's like a mixture of dead rats and vomit, and the smell makes you want to go inside the house.

But Chen Ao still walked in, because he knew that this was the most critical part!
