The housekeeper is the best at looking at his face. When he saw the head of the family, he knew the reason and immediately scolded him: "What kind of swearing in front of the head of the family is that he screams?"

"The head of the family, all the people who went there last night are gone," the man staggered in, kneeled on the ground, and said with a grimace on his face.

"What?" At this moment, let alone Gao Xinghe, even Zhang Jinxiong could not sit still.

The two heads of the family looked at each other and then turned their eyes to the person kneeling on the ground.

"Where are those villagers?" Zhang Jinxiong asked urgently.

"The little one pretended to be a peddler and went to inquire. He smelled the strong smell of blood. Some people guarded him and held weapons. Occasionally, a few villagers took care of him, but there was no crying. It didn't seem like something happened,"

Gao Xinghe and Zhang Jinxiong showed solemn expressions: their plan failed.

After waving his hand and letting the servant go down, Gao Xinghe sighed and said, "We still underestimate others,"

The love rivals are in complete passiveness.

"There are not so many people in the Mei family," Zhang Jinxiong said with a different idea.

"But all of us are gone now. Maybe there are still people involved in this matter, and there are even many people behind it,"

"What should we do now?" As the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Jinxiong has his own ruthlessness and demands.

The reason why I asked Gao Xinghe was to give people face.

"I'll send someone to inquire," he said nothing about his personal salt.

Zhang Jinxiong sighed and said, "Brother Gao, we have been intimate with each other for many years, and we all want to be good to each other. But this time, I would like to say that you don't want to hear that if the Mei family continues to sell salt, we will lose the opportunity and make the people hate us. The meaning of this provocation will change."

Being hated by the people of Lincheng is not a good thing for them.

Gao Xinghe's face was cold: "You regret it, do you want to sell salt?"

Zhang Jinxiong did not answer, so he was considered a default.

"Ha," he found it ridiculous and mocked: "The Mei family has now kept the price of salt so low, and snow salt is still continuous. Do you think the Zhang family can fight? Or is the price of private salt in the entire Lincheng follow the Mei family?"

"Did you forget that behind the Mei family, it is the court. If we compromise, not only will the price of private salt be reduced, but it will even be replaced by official salt? Do you know what that means?"

The last question was quite sharp, which made Zhang Jinxiong look helpless.

"But what else can we do besides cooperation? At least in this way, the private salt in our hands can be handled. Otherwise, if we hoard it, and wait for the imperial court to order, it will be worthless!" They are not allowed to sell it, and it will be wasted if they leave it alone.

Gao Xinghe thought of the dealer's promise and gritted his teeth and said, "You must not compromise. The court's appetite has always been very big. If we compromise, we may even give up the Yantian and the wharf in the future. Then, will we still have a way to go in the end?"

Zhang Jinxiong looked at him without echoing.

These are nonsense unless you can come up with a solution.

"If you want to be safe in Lincheng, it is necessary to use some means!" Gao Xinghe said gloomyly after being silent for a long time.

This time, Zhang Jinxiong did not refute.

No one wants their property to be eaten up, which was saved by their ancestors.
