After Jiang Zhen sent someone to investigate, he learned that the group of people who were close to them were also escaped salt households, and the family members were also brought with them, and they also brought many women and children.

Such a group of people obviously does not threaten them.

After confirming that the group of people was harmless, Jiang Zhen felt relieved and even sent someone to come over and asked to have a good talk with the people there - he finally met such a group of people, if he could, of course he would try to find out some information.

Before Zhu Erlin could understand the situation of Jiang Zhen and others, the envoy sent by Jiang Zhen came.

"Talk?" Zhu Erlin was stunned for a moment, and then agreed.

If those people were officers and soldiers, they would probably call them without saying a word after seeing them. Since they didn't call them, they would probably be salt households or people who gathered together.

Of course, Zhu Erlin was also prepared and added: "You can come to talk to me, so you can't come too many people."

The person who went to negotiate with Zhu Erlin was Jiang Ming. After looking at the situation here, he agreed to Zhu Erlin's request: "No problem, our boss will come over to talk to you later."

When Zhu Erlin saw Jiang Ming's promise, he felt much more relieved.

When Jiang Zhen went to Zhu Erlin's place, he only brought about twenty people, but these twenty people were all good people he brought. If he really encountered any danger, he was confident that he could escape.

Not long after, Jiang Zhen met Zhu Erlin and his group.

This group of people is very large, most of them have torn clothes and carry pots and pans on their backs. Just like those who fled under his command, some of them...

Jiang Zhen's eyes fell on Zhu Erlin. The people in the leaders, looking at their hands and faces, were all born in poverty, but their clothes were really well worn. The clothes... looked like they were taken off from the people in Hongjiang Salt Field.

There is no doubt that this group of people killed the people from Hongjiang Salt Field.

Jiang Zhen glanced at the other party thoughtfully and had a bold guess about the identity of these people.

Zhu Erlin looked at Jiang Zhen and others, and was a little strange. He immediately frowned: "Aren't you salt households?" The men in these salt households have to boil salt every day, which has some similar characteristics, such as their palms are particularly rough, but the people in front of him are not like this.

Jiang Zhen nodded: "We are indeed not salt households..."

"Jiang Zhen! Why are you here?!" A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Jiang Zhen's words.

Jiang Zhen turned his head and saw Zhou Maohe, who was almost a savage, staring at himself in surprise: "Why are you here? What do you want to do?"

"Do you know this imperial envoy?" Seeing this, Zhu Erlin immediately looked at Jiang Zhen with alert.

Jiang Zhen affirmed his guess-these people in front of him should be those who copied Hongjiang Salt Field.

Unexpectedly, he actually met these people here...

"I know this imperial envoy for him, but don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you." Jiang Zhen said to Zhu Erlin.

"If you say there is no malice, then there is no malice?" A person beside Zhu Erlin shouted in dissatisfaction, and someone quickly caught Zhou Maohe and asked: "Who are you? Are they from the government?"

As soon as the word "official government" came out, the people on Zhu Erlin's side became riots, some were full of hatred, while others were trembling.

"Quiet!" Zhu Erlin shouted, then put the knife on Zhou Maohe's neck and said to Jiang Zhen and others: "Put down your weapons! Otherwise I will kill him!"

They were chased by the officers and soldiers for a long time and had handed over several times. Now they have become frightened birds, for fear that Jiang Zhen and others will be unkind.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhen generously threw away the wooden stick in his hand and said, "You can go to my place to see. I have saved many salt households, not to catch you. As for this imperial envoy..."

Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Maohe: "Mr. Zhou, in addition to helping people deliver goods, our Jin Zhen escort agency will also take on jobs to protect others or find people and things. This time, Mr. Zheng spent money to ask me to come to you and take you out of here."

This is an excuse that Jiang Zhen had already thought of for himself.

If he could conceal his identity, he would hide his identity from it, and he really couldn't conceal it... He came here this time to save the imperial envoy! The reason was open and upright.

As for why a group of people were dragged down, it was naturally because they looked pitiful.

These salt households were forced to rebel, and they could not be called extremely vicious. Seeing that Jiang Zhen was full of openness, they did nothing to Jiang Zhen and others, so they surrounded Jiang Zhen and others, and sent people to check with those who followed Jiang Zhen.

After they confirmed with the people they were led by Jiang Zhen and learned that Jiang Zhen had saved them and killed some people from Hongjiang Salt Field, they no longer had a guard against Jiang Zhen.

Zhou Maohe frowned and looked at Jiang Zhen, with dissatisfaction on his face: "You killed someone? You actually killed someone? How can you kill someone?!"

Jiang Zhen: "..." Do you have to wait for someone to be killed if you don't kill someone? This Lord Zhou is really easy to change his country and nature is hard to change.

"Don't worry about him." Zhu Erlin said to Jiang Zhen, waved his hand and asked someone to take Zhou Maohe away. After Zhou Maohe was taken away, he said, "Your escort agency can protect people by giving money? If I give you money, can you help me protect some people?"

Jiang Zhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he felt that Zhu Erlin was a talented person.

Whether from the history of Da Qi or from the history of the world he once lived in, peasant uprisings have never been successful.

In ancient times, farmers had no channels to absorb knowledge. They didn't know a few words, and had never learned how to manage their subordinates. They had a narrow vision... Although they would revolt because they could not stand oppression, they could not succeed.

It was definitely a lucky opportunity for Zhu Erlin to capture the Hongjiang Salt Field. If he was arrogant and complacent, he would definitely be able to go there in the end by the officers and soldiers. Fortunately, he was still clear-headed and did not take credit for himself. He also realized his shortcomings.

Zhu Erlin has indeed realized his shortcomings.

He is a salt household. He has never left the sphere of influence of Hongjiang Salt Field since he was a child. Even if he helps his father manage people, he only manages the salt households who live with them, and there are not many people in total.

But now, there are thousands of people following him!

If it weren't for the imperial envoy, he wouldn't even be able to calculate how much food these people would eat every day!

And... Zhu Erlin clearly realized that it was really difficult to take a group of women and children to travel.

If there were no old and weak children, he would be able to easily escape the pursuit of officers and soldiers with his men, but he could not leave those old and weak children behind.

The reason why he rebelled was for these people, even if he died, he had to protect them. But if he kept them... they would probably be taken away in a short while.

Zhu Erlin had already talked with those who were saved by Jiang Zhen and knew that Jiang Zhen was indeed a good person... Even if he was not as good as Jiang Zhen, he could not save so many people unconditionally.

Jiang Zhen confiscated a penny and was willing to save those people. If he gave the money... Can Jiang Zhen find a way to give the old and weak under his command a way out?

"You came from outside. Can you get those women and children outside? I'll give you money." Zhu Erlin said: "I have a lot of money."

Jiang Zhen looked at Zhu Erlin.

Jiang Zhen also knew that Zhu Erlin must have a lot of money. After all, this person was a copy of Hongjiang Salt Field, and Hongjiang Salt Field is so rich... as long as it is an individual, you will know.

"I don't have the ability to get rid of everyone around you, but I can help you contact someone." Jiang Zhen said to Zhu Erlin.

The Jin Zhen escort agency under his command is too small, and it is basically impossible to rescue the people in this place, but if Zhu Erlin is rich, he can help Zhu Erlin contact others.

In Daqi, there are many maritime merchants.

Daqi has a sea ban, but it is not allowed to exist, but sea commerce has been repeatedly banned.

If you really want to talk about these maritime merchants, they are all smuggling, which is illegal.

These maritime merchants are doing illegal business. As long as Zhu Erlin is willing to give money, they will definitely be willing to take away the old and weak here and send them to other places for resettlement.

On land, Jiang Zhen could lead dozens of people to block the seaside through officers and soldiers and Hongjiang Salt Field, but he could not leave with thousands, but if a big ship came to the sea...

The officers and soldiers didn't even have a boat, and they couldn't stop the arrival of the sea boat.

Jiang Zhen told Zhu Erlin about the situation, and Zhu Erlin immediately agreed: "I hid most of the gold and silver I grabbed from Hongjiang Salt Field, but we also brought some around us. I can give you a deposit first, and you can help me contact the maritime merchant."

Zhu Erlin is now at a little desperate, so he can only choose to believe Jiang Zhen.

"Yes." Jiang Zhen agreed without hesitation.

While Zhu Erlin and Jiang Zhen were discussing the matter, Zhou Maohe was allocating supplies to Zhu Erlin's men on the other side.

He was unwilling to help these rebels, but these people forced him to keep accounts and do things.

These guys are so hateful!

Zhou Maohe felt very whispered, but when he saw someone taking the wrong thing, he immediately said, "Stop, you took the wrong thing! What's here is what's for those children!"

The person who had just forced him to handle the logistics matters obediently changed some things to get them.

"What a group of mobs! The mobs! It's not enough to make it!" Zhou Maohe muttered again.

"If you yell, I will hit you!" Someone extended his fist to Zhou Maohe with dissatisfaction.

Zhou Maohe immediately didn't dare to speak... Then what about Jiang Zhenren? Why didn't he come to save him?

Hexing Mansion.

When Zheng Yi was sending wine to the capital, he told Master Zheng Er that Zhou Maohe might attack Hongjiang Salt Field and that the Zheng family could make profits. Of course, he did not say that he planned to promote this matter.

Mr. Zheng has always attached great importance to Zheng Yi's various opinions. After learning about this, he took advantage of the Qingfeng wine to please the empress dowager. He specifically mentioned the chaos in the salt affairs in Jiangnan with the empress dowager, and expressed his concern for Zhou Maohe - Zhou Maohe, the second-hand man, was likely to crash into the head after discovering the Salt Affairs Bureau.

When the Empress Dowager heard Master Zheng Er say this, she thought it made sense and said, "The Ai family hopes that Lord Zhou can share the worries and solve the problems of the Ai family."

Obviously, the Queen Mother hoped that Zhou Maohe could go to Hongjiang Salt Field for a quarrel.

So, Master Zheng Er sent a letter to Zheng Yi, asking Zheng Yi to "help" Zhou Maohe at the appropriate time.

No matter what kind of help... he didn't have to do it, Zhou Maohe had already copied the Hongjiang Salt Field...

Zheng Yi sighed and placed the late letter next to him.

He thought that after he learned that something happened in Hongjiang Salt Field, Master Zheng Er should have seen the letter he sent to his second uncle at this moment.

Master Zheng Er has indeed seen the letter Zheng Yi sent.

After receiving a letter from Zheng Yi before, he thought about interfering in the Hongjiang Salt Field, his heart was always hot, but even so, he thought it would take a long time to accomplish this.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Hongjiang Salt Field was gone?

Things are developing too fast, and Master Zheng Er can't react a little.

However, this is a good thing for him.

Zhou Maohe's memorial had also been sent to the capital. The empress dowager calculated the days and found that when Zhou Maohe took action against Hongjiang Salt Field, it was when Master Zheng Er reminded him. For a moment, he felt that Master Zheng Er had some clever calculations.

The Empress Dowager asked her confidant to discuss the matter of Hongjiang Salt Field, and among all the confidants, there was no doubt that Master Zheng Er was most valued. In the end, the Empress Dowager also adopted his opinion and used the person he recommended...
