4.10 Civil turmoil ends, salt road clarifies

Three days later, in the living room of Jinling Weifu, Wei Xu had just finished listening to the situation report brought by Zhou Yunyang, and waved his hand to indicate that he could go out.

"It seems that I still underestimated the dangers of society!" Wei Xu said with some emotion after throwing himself on the grand master's chair.

"Yeah, who would have thought that Mrs. Xue, who looks gentle and kind, would strike so hard after seizing the opportunity." Shi Xiangyun next to him said in admiration, "Kill them all, in the true sense!"

"Actually." Qin Keqing, who just came out of the back room, said in a hesitant tone, "You can't blame her for being too ruthless, this is the rule of the aristocratic family.

As the saying goes, 'orderly elders and younger ones, distinctions between concubines and concubines, respect and inferiority', the bigger the family, the more particular about these things, since those two families dare to covet the property of the main house as side branches, they must be prepared to die Prepare. "

"Anyway, they are blood relatives. This one didn't show mercy at all when he made the move!" Wei Xu smiled wryly and shook his head, still shocked by how fierce this "Aunt Xue" was in the original book.

"That's right, the three branches and the five branches were all disposed of on the charge of 'deceiving the master with slavery', and all the genealogies were expelled in advance, even if Xue Yan and Xue Ting committed suicide and made amends.

All the males, old and young, were beheaded for public display, the dead two were slaughtered in coffins, and all the females were sold into brothels, and they were sold on the Qinhuai River, which was only ten miles away.

All the family property was taken back, regardless of whether the real estate or the land was sent over at a discount, and an extra [-]% was added, and a pair of children were sent to send it in person.

Sister Bao was quite calm, but she was much more silent than usual. That Xue Pan was so frightened that he had no courage at all. "Shi Xiangyun said with emotion.

"This Bao girl's self-cultivation is rare. If she was the heir of the Xue family, she would have lost all her troubles." Qin Keqing, who received feudal training since childhood, admired Xue Baochai, who is also a model of feudal ethics.

"25 taels, Mrs. Xue is willing to do so. The accumulation of generations of these two families has left a fortune, but it's a pity that they are really making wedding clothes for others!" Knocking on the pile of bank notes in hand , Wei Xu continued to sigh.

"I'm afraid it's not just that. According to Director Cao just now, the salt road handed over by the Xue family also has the handwriting of these two families. Mrs. Xue specially arranged for Xue Pan to explain it to him in detail.

The meaning behind the words is that no one will stay. Originally, it was very difficult to clean up the already unstable salt road in the past three days. Now I am afraid that it will be more troublesome. "Shi Xiangyun said with a sigh.

"Mrs. Xue is right. There have always been zero or countless times of betrayal. Since they were able to betray Mrs. Xue's family, they will not be loyal to us in the future.

We need a stable way to get money, not a boy who may betray at any time. Although more people have been killed, it is not a reason to leave future troubles. "Wei Xu has no objection to this point.

"Sister Ke'er, this is the reason why we just expressed emotion over Mrs. Xue's methods, instead of feeling disgusted. If she was the one who failed this time, it would be her and Sister Bao who were sold to Qinhuai River.

What's more, colluding with outsiders to seize the property of the main branch is the most taboo crime committed by the family, so Mrs. Xue just picked up a random crime, and the prefect of Jinling directly dealt with it. "This time Shi Xiangyun rarely quarreled with Qin Keqing.

"Where's the money?" The little princess, who still lacks awareness of the dangers of society, didn't ask any more questions, but turned to another question.

"Tomorrow morning, you and Yun girl will work hard. Just hand over all these to Nanzong of the Zhen Guogong Mansion, just to Mrs. Niu. I still have some things to deal with, so I won't go." Wei Xu didn't pay much attention to these silver.

"Is it the salt road problem that Sister Yun mentioned just now?" Qin Keqing hesitated for a moment, but still asked her doubts.

"That's right. Originally, Xue's salt road was not big, so the leaders of each node didn't have much power. After Cao Yunqi killed a few chickens, the others were basically honest, and the rest was nothing more than cleaning up slowly.

No one thought that something happened in the salt field, which was not taken seriously at first, and the manager who arranged for Xue Xun when he was not dead chose to collude with pirates to fight against Xue's family.

If he just chooses to fight, maybe I can give him a way to survive, but if he dares to collude with pirates and is also responsible for helping the other party sell stolen goods and supplies, he will definitely die. " Wei Xu said coldly.

"Even so, you don't have to do it yourself, right?" Qin Keqing asked nervously, "Isn't it okay to have Manager Cao and Manager Zhou take action?"

"Stupid girl, how can you keep your hands at this time? You must use as much strength as you have. If Yun girl didn't need to accompany you there, I would even take her with you." Wei Xu said angrily. She remembers PP.

Of course, it's not just Shi Xiangyun. At any time now, Qin Keqing will always have five other female disciples on standby. Two powerful crossbows and three long knives are never left behind.It's just that the identity of a maid is not convenient for her to appear on all occasions, so Shi Xiangyun always follows her closely in some areas where danger may occur. This is one of the reasons why the relationship between the two has eased a lot.

"But, what if?" Qin Keqing was still worried.

"Crow's mouth, nothing happens!" Wei Xu interrupted her with a long kiss, and she didn't let go until she blushed from holding back, "You must be too free to think so much. It just so happens that you have something to leave today, so let's eat first." Go when you are full!"

Regardless of Qin Keqing's pointless resistance, he hugged his lover and went into the bedroom, leaving behind Shi Xiangyun who could hang a bottle of oil with his mouth pouting.

In the middle of the night, the Songjiang Beach Salt Field——Songjiang is Shanghai in reality. It took the Clippers more than [-] hours to arrive downstream from Jinling, which was much slower than in reality.

"My lord, we have already contacted the spies left behind by the Xue family, and in the early hours of the morning, when the pirates arrange for people to come over to sell the stolen goods, Xue Ping, the head of the saltworks, will definitely show up.

When the time comes, we will take all the people there, and after solving them, we will arrange for the Xue family to take over. At this time, the pirates must be the leaders, and no one can rest assured that such a big matter will be handed over to the subordinates.

The strength of the other party is not weak. According to the reports of Xue's spies, the two sides add up to close to a hundred people. It's okay to say that the salt field is on the side, and the pirates are all old bandits who have seen blood. "Cao Yunqi calmly reported the situation.

"It's okay, let thirty of our people use crossbows, and the other ten are on guard with long knives. It's best to solve all of them directly. If there is a fish that slips through the net, let the people of the Xue family go up." Wei Xu didn't take it too seriously. .

There were less than a hundred pirates. When he was still in the world of "Flying Fox", he himself could kill more than a hundred elite soldiers from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, not to mention having so many helpers now.

"My lord, they are here!" Just as he was speaking, Zhou Yunyang, who was on the sidelines, came to report.

Under the fairly good moonlight, Wei Xu saw several small boats approaching on the beach from a distance, and more than 40 people disembarked one after another, each with a knife and a gun.

"Prepare for three coverages—what's your name?" After arranging his own ambush, Wei Xu turned his head and asked the person in charge sent by the Xue family.

"Young master, young Zhang Cheng, my father is Zhang Dehui." The man immediately replied nervously.

"Zhang Dehui? That's fine, remember to keep up later!" Wei Xu remembered that this was really a loyal servant, even after the Xue family fell in the original book, he was still Madam Xue's most trusted servant.

In this life, because with the help of Wei Xu, the traitors in the family were dealt with swiftly and cruelly, Madam Xue's prestige has been greatly improved, and the internal sorting of the Xue family has been much smoother, not to mention there are four princes and eight princes. Send someone to help.

"Block the exit, advance according to the formation, everyone can hear the password clearly, don't care what the other party says, don't leave one behind!" Cao Yunqi immediately ordered to the forty disciples.

The trading location chosen by the other party is a "dead end", surrounded by a seaside cliff as a whole, except for the exit, there is only one way to go to sea by boat, and it is also the northernmost end of the entire Xuejia Salt Field.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei, for your benevolence!" Zhang Cheng's expression was indescribably fierce, "This Xue Ping was originally named Xu, but the old Patriarch saw that his father was honest and loyal, so he gave him the surname Xue, and he also took the surname Xue.

Unexpectedly, his father died early, and now the old Patriarch has just passed away a few years ago, this bastard has the guts to collude with pirates to sell stolen goods, and even wants to betray the Xue family, it is really not a pity to die. "

"I hope you don't forget your loyalty." Wei Xu smiled and patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, then nodded to Cao Yunqi beside him.

"Let go!" Cao Yunqi immediately waved his hand violently. He and Zhou Yunyang personally took action to clear the sentry post on the road. At this time, the crowd was less than fifty steps away from the enemy, and ten crossbow bolts roared out immediately!

The screams, shouts, and the sound of crossbows flying through the air mixed with Cao Yunqi's password sounded together. In the blink of an eye, three rounds of crossbows were covered, and more than half of the enemies died before they even had time to complete the team.

"You guys go!" Seeing the other party come back to his senses and use various bunkers to hide, Wei Xu stopped the strong crossbow disciple and waved to Zhang Cheng.

"Follow me!" Zhang Cheng rushed over with more than 30 people under him without hesitation!
"You guys go up too, none left behind!" Wei Xu yelled at his own disciples who had drawn their swords out of their sheaths. These disciples were all equipped with strong crossbows, 18 crossbow bolts and a long sword.

"Yes, son!"
