Chapter 131.2
The cliff was relatively high so it was overlooking the village where they lived so when they looked down they were startled to see a group of people running towards their village!
Was it people from Hongjiang Salt Farm coming again? When these people come, it was never good!
The young mens ran hurriedly to the village, but as soon as they ran into the village, they saw that this people already entered the village.
“Young masters? How. . .“ An old man from Yabian village walked forward, wanting to talk to those people but one of them with a move of his hand directly slashed the old men neck with a knife.
Blood gushed out from the old man’s neck, which stunned the people of Yabian village.
These people used to ask them for things, but this time. . .. Why did they kill people this time?
“Uncle!“ Many people began to cry.
Every household in this Yabian village has family ties, so this old men was an elder for most people in the village. Now that those people suddenly killed him, the villagers couldn’t help crying.
“What on earth do you want?“ One of the young and strong people asked, looking angrily at the people from Hongjiang salt farm, and then clenched the stick in his hand. Some people went to get other weapons – they already see that they come here with evil intent.
“Fight!“ The men who slashed the throat of old men said, and then people behind him started to high with villagers from Yabian village.
There were as many as 30-40 people from outside, and there were only about 20 adult men in Yabian village without any fighting experience so of course they were at a disadvantage.
“Dad. . .“ a child began to cry, but his sobs soon stopped. It was obvious that someone had covered his mouth.
“Run!“
“Everybody run!“
“Go!“
. . .
The young men who fought with others shouted as the women in the village wiped their tears and ran away with their children. But those who attacked Yabian village, how could they allow villagers to run away? “Get them!“ The leader killed another villager : “No one can run away!“
More than a dozen of these people shouted to go after them, but at that moment another group of people appeared at the other end of the village, blocking the escape of the women and children.
The woman who ran in front fell to the ground in shock and fear. Behind her, an elderly woman rushed towards the people wielding a sickle, in a desperate manner.
Those who stood in the way were all armed with knives and sticks, and their leader easy knocked the sickle from the old women arms.
Upon seeing this, the people in Yabian Village felt a burst of despair. They were already ready to be caught, humiliated, or killed by these people. But that men instead of killing the women with the sickle rushed forward with a stick and rushed toward the people who chased after them.
The stick in this man’s hand moved fast and stabbed the next of the bandits who entered the village first. Then he directly broke the men neck, causing the man to fall to the ground without breathing.
These two groups ware not together?
The people in Yabian village become excited, then they see the later group of people rush forward and before long kill several people who entered the village before.
Those who had entered the village with intention to kill, immediately became frightened and fled. But at this time the later group already chased after them.
“They’re here to save us!“
“Who are these people?“
“Dad! Wake up. . . “
. . .
There were all kinds of cries in the village, Fang Qi seeing these people feel like he had seen himself before.
Yes, it was Jiang Zhen and his group.
At this moment, Jiang Zhen led his people to chase after others but Fang Qi stayed with the woman, gers who they had saved before to appease the people in the village.
“Everybody cheer up, it will be all right, and it will be fine in the future!“ Fang Qi said.
Fang Qi’s accent was exactly the same as the people in Yabian Village so villagers relaxed a lot, then someone asked: “You are..“
“I am from Xiaotang Village.“ Fang Qi spoke about his origin, and then explained the identity of Jiang Zhen and others.
Jiang Zhen didn’t tell Fang Qi the full truth, but he still said he was from nearby and saw people being killed at will so Fang Qi repeated it now and said: “Our boss is a good man, don’t worry. He will definitely help you.“
The people in Yabian village were immediately very grateful.
Those who fled scattered around so Jiang Zhen failed to catch them all in the end.
These people were all from Hongjiang Salt Field so after they run away they might bring more people to attack Yabian Village. However, Jiang Zhen and his party could not stay in Yabian Village to protect these villagers all the time. There are not many of them so if more people come from Hongjiang Salt Field they would not be able to defend the village.
Jiang Zhen and others had a night’s rest in Yabian Village, and when they left, people from Yabian village were behind him.
Two days later, Jiang Zhen and others met a group of salt workers hunted by officers and soldiers who came to fight the rebellion.
On this side of the Hongjiang Salt Farm, there were a very large number of salt workers families but in fact only a small number of people were killed in the Hongjiang Salt Farm before.
But the officers and soldiers who came to end the rebellion didn’t care.
If something like this happen in Hongjiang Salt Farm, they certainly had to explain in to people above, if they couldn’t catch the culprit, they had no choice but to find trouble with those innocent salt workers.
Of course, they wanted to catch those salt workers, but there were also other considerations.
There was no war these days, but if a military officer wanted to be promoted, he must do a meritorious deeds or kill and enemy.
Under such circumstances, it was only natural to have as many enemies as possible. after all, they needed to kill more people before they could be promoted and make a fortune.
At the request of the officers, the soldiers slaughtered the salt workers families in the Hongjiang Salt Farm, regardless if it was a man or a women or they were young or old. They definitely were all rebels.
These generations of salt workers have already encountered a lot of injustice and needed a lot of patience in recent years, so they could only run away in panic.
If they didn’t run away they would die.
Jiang Zhen group become bigger.
It was also impossible for them to not meet others again.
As time went by, there were more and more people around Jiang Zhen. If most of them were not men, Jiang Zhen would not be able to look after them.
But even so, so many people were still a burden.
He needed to send these people to a safe place before he could think of something else. . .. When Jiang Zhen talked to the relatively knowledgeable people among these people, he learned that there was a mountain forest nearby, which was a very good place to hide.
In that case, let’s send these people there first. . ..
With his men, Jiang Zhen headed for the mountain forest.
It was dangerous to take so many people, so Jiang Zhen sent a group of people to inquire about the news first. The day when these people came back after inquiring about the situation, they spoke worriedly: “Boss, there are traces of activity nearby, and there are a large number of them!“
At the same time, people who occupied the Hongjiang salt field before has been living in hiding these days and attracted even more salt workers to go to Zhu Erlin. Someone also reported: “Brother Zhu, it seems that someone is coming, we have seen a cooking smoke!“
“Go and inquire!“ Jiang Zhen said.
“Check it out!“ Zhu Erlin also said.
Many people have died along the coast of Hexing province, but id did not have much impact on it.
The impact was still small but some large families who have already learned the news began to hoard the salt, making price of salt in Hexing province become more and more expensive, increasing the original prince by several times.
However, if you eat less salt, you won’t die for a while. . . The impact of the rise in salt prices was not as great for people as grain prices.
But the upper echelons of Hexing province didn’t care much about it.
After all, they will not be short of salt, except for those involved in this matter and those related to the Hongjiang Salt field now one was worried.
The total number of salt workers was quite a few so it certainly would not be a big problem.
Compared with the Hongjiang Salt field, they were more concerned with Qingfeng wine – the imperial edict come from the capital, not only listing Qingfeng wine as a tribute, but also praising the wine.
What was the taste of wine that even the royal family praised?
The rich businessmen in Hexing Province were all interested in Qingfeng wine, but the Zheng family refused to take out even a drop since sending first sending some wine out.
Scarcity was precious, so it make people look forward o Qingfeng wine more and more over time. But they didn’t know that Zheng Yi was actually a little depressed at this moment.
He managed to save a batch of wine. But as a result . . . Jiang Zhen sent someone to take it all!
Jiang Zhen took such expensive wine to clean his people’s wounds!
