In the distance, a few people who were squatting in the salt pan got up and saw a man in a red fur walking slowly towards here, his eyes were full of fear, thinking that some big man from the Luo family came to investigate the illegal salt, and every time the big man in the salt gang came to investigate their flesh and skin, disgusted that they produced too little, and intensified the whipping and exploitation, many people died because of this.

A few children of the Salt Gang who were squatting at the bottom of the cliff and chatting boredly saw a red-furred man approaching this place, and they all looked nervous, picked up the guy in their hands and stepped forward to stop and interrogate.

Wuzhao County is surrounded by sea cliffs isolated from the world, the environment is secluded, if it is not hidden in the dirt and dirt, it is also a good place for the paradise of the world, but unfortunately it was occupied by the Luo family and became a purgatory on earth.

"Stop!

One of the small leader-looking people asked in a voice, and behind him, there were five children of the Salt Gang who looked different, and at this time, several of them were holding iron weapons in their hands, and their eyes looked at Jiang Yangsheng with ill intentions.

"When I came out to play, I accidentally saw a village house here, so I came to take a look and drink water under the pretext of water. ”

Jiang Yangsheng said, his attitude was quite humble and respectful.

The man glanced at the red-furred man in front of him, his face was handsome, and he had no backbone to speak, and he suddenly felt bored, and said impatiently: ", there is no one here, tell you that you can't say anything here, you know?"

The tone behind it was evident to the hint of threat.

Jiang Yangsheng nodded, and said resignedly: "Master, I know." ”

With that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

He had come here to find out the news, to find out the situation here, to find out how many laborers were hidden here, and how many salt gang children were guarding here.

At present, this Wuzhao County is a Longtan Tiger's Den, there are at least hundreds of coolies in it, and there are forty or fifty disciples of the Salt Gang, and most of these disciples are disciples of the Luo family in Qingzhou City, and the old master of the Luo family does not know how many Salt Gang disciples have gathered.

"Stop!"

Just after Jiang Yangsheng walked out a few dozen steps, the leader stopped Jiang Yangsheng with a playful voice.

Jiang Yangsheng turned around and looked at him with a puzzled expression, trying to make a frightened look.

I saw that the leader made a deep thought, and then said with a cruel smile: "Let you out, you can't spread the word out, otherwise, you can stay here and do miscellaneous labor, our Luo family is well treated, and the salary is indispensable to you." ”

After that, he smiled with ill intentions, and everyone around him was also playful in his eyes.

Stay here, will there be a salary? Jokes, it is estimated that no one will believe it when he says it, but he just wants to keep himself as a coolie and put himself under house arrest in disguise, Jiang Yangsheng sneered in his heart.

He raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "How much is the salary?" I won't keep less than 50,000 taels of silver a month. ”

"Fifty thousand? The kid got kicked in the head by a donkey. ”

Everyone laughed, they didn't expect this person to be so blind, and in this case, they didn't even know how to bargain with themselves as uncles.

The man heard the meaning of the joke in Jiang Yangsheng's words, and immediately became angry, and shouted: "You don't want to give you face, fifty thousand taels, boy, your head was squeezed by the door, right?"

"My grandfather is a county master, and he also has some good friendships with some of your officials in Qingzhou City, so I don't believe what else can you do to me in Qingzhou City?"

Jiang Yangsheng said.

A group of people immediately laughed when they heard this, and the laughter was unbridled, and one of them laughed cruelly: "It's a big joke, a person whose grandfather is a little county official is actually shouting in Qingzhou City, and he doesn't look at what kind of place Qingzhou City is, even if your grandfather is a county guard, here is a dragon you have to coil, a tiger you have to lie on your stomach." ”

To be honest, a small county official is not enough to scare this group of Qingzhou Salt Gang, who have no law, even if the descendants of the county guard come, they will still be cleaned up and obedient.

"Boy, look at your rich and noble face, I thought it was a young master from a big family, I didn't expect it to be a descendant of a small county order, then stay honestly, repair a letter to your family, and let them quickly raise twenty little goldfish in exchange for your life, otherwise, hehe, just stay here as a coolie for the rest of your life." ”

The man looked unimpressed, and after knowing Jiang Yangsheng's details, he became even more unscrupulous, and blatantly started the robber business.

The Salt Gang in Qingzhou is not a formal industry, and the disciples of the Salt Gang are generally a group of gangsters who have nothing formal to do, but they are said to be confused, so some people privately start extortion and kidnapping under the banner of the Salt Gang, and the reputation of the Salt Gang is very bad, and they don't care about throwing some dirty water on it.

"Twenty little goldfish?"

Jiang Yangsheng's mouth opened widely, he was very surprised, and his face was puzzled, "Why do you want my family to send money?"

The man at the head crossed his waist and said: "The person who wants to come to your house to be an official is not a clean official, the oil and water should be very rich, twenty little goldfish say that it is not much, naturally it is not a problem, twenty little goldfish in exchange for your life, in the final analysis, you still earn it." ”

After that, a group of people laughed, and there was nothing to worry about if this kind of thing was done too much.

Just as a few people laughed unscrupulously, the leader's eyes suddenly condensed, and a blue blade of light suddenly appeared, incredibly fast, cutting his throat, his throat rolled a few times, a shocking blood streak oozed out, and then a large amount of blood gushed out like a blowout.

Seeing this, several Salt Gang disciples around the leader all changed their faces and wanted to pick up the weapons in their hands, but before they could react, the red-furred man in front of him suddenly rushed out with a sword, and when they didn't react, he sealed his throat with a sword.

The blade of the sword was extremely sharp, but after a cold light flashed, Jiang Yangsheng stopped and put the sword back into its sheath.

I saw that the bodies of several people in the distance gradually became stiff, and there were bursts of 'babbling' muffled sounds in their throats, and finally they shouted like hoarseness, and then fell to the ground with their heads up.

Several disciples of the Qingzhou City Salt Gang who were on the evil side died.

Since it is impossible to be good after killing these disciples of the Salt Gang who guard the coolies, the other guards under this sea cliff will sooner or later discover Jiang Yangsheng's whereabouts, so Jiang Yangsheng got up and walked towards the inside of Wuzhao County.

There are no permanent residents in Wuzhao County at all, because the people here do not live long at all, and they need to change blood once after living for three years and five years, and ordinary coolies generally only live for one or two years under high-intensity labor, and if they are unfortunately infected or beaten by whipping, they will live for a shorter time.

Jiang Yangsheng walked in the middle of the village, these coolies lived a hard life, and the place where they lived could not be sheltered from the wind and rain, except for the basic simple life of the home, it could be regarded as a family with four walls, because this family might change hands at any time, and the coolies had no money to buy furniture for themselves, so Wuzhao County, the nominal county village, was like a slum, and the place where they lived was stinking and messy.

Jiang Yangsheng stood on the vertical and horizontal path of Yantian Qianmo, only to see that the coolies in the distance were working silently with their heads bowed, a little boy in tattered cloth clothes had a tired look on his face, his figure kept staggering, obviously a sign of physical exhaustion, faintly about to fall, but he did not dare to fall, once he fell, he was greeted by a merciless whipping and beating, seeing that he was about to fall, the young man was ruthless, and put his scarred arm into the seawater full of cool brine and soaked, the concentrated salt water penetrated into the wound, and a kind of so-called pain was instantly transmitted to the young man's brain, and he struck a clever one, there was a trace of pain on his face, and sprinkling salt on the wound became his method of refreshing himself, supporting him not to fall.

From ancient times to the present, I have only heard of the allusion of the head cantilever cone and stabbing the strand to study, but I have never heard of the rumor of 'salt water refreshment'.

Several older youths around him saw the boy, stretched out their hands to support him, and whispered, "Hold on, as long as you can survive these two months, you will be able to live." ”

The young man raised his head, pursed his dry lips, his eyes were resolute, he nodded silently, he didn't want to speak, every time he spoke, it would consume precious physical strength, and then he continued to work.

He didn't know when this endless labor would end, and he only knew for now that if he didn't work, he would die.

Death, such a simple and rare thing, may be a relief, but it is also the beginning of a suffering.

"Hold on, we've all come from this point. ”

The man encouraged, but when he said this, a look of despair appeared in his eyes, he persevered, did not die in the initial exertion, but now, he still did not escape the clutches of this fate, and now he is still suffering inhuman treatment here, when will this endless torture end!

Anyone who comes here does not have the luxury of how chic and comfortable they can be, they only hope that they will not die in such a deserted place, only hope that they can live peacefully, and they can live mediocre all their lives, which is also a kind of luxury!

The Salt Gang is too harsh on their squeezing, hoping to squeeze out the only remaining oil and water on their bodies, their vitality is seriously overdrawn, and some individuals have already run out of oil, and they are still struggling to survive.

As he spoke, a person who was working in front of him suddenly fainted in the salt pan, and everyone's hearts suddenly tightened when they saw it, but no one dared to help him.
