Bows, arrows and armor were strictly prohibited from private ownership by the imperial court.

Once discovered, it was regarded as treason.

Here, armor is more stringent than bow and arrow.

In fact, many of the gangs who rely on the canal to earn their living from private salt have bows and arrows.

There are even many archers in some villages whose main business is robbery.

Under the high price offered by the salt merchants, people from Yangzhou who used swords to earn a living immediately gathered in. It was not surprising that there were archers among them.

"Your Majesty, you are polite!" A man in a brocade robe walked out from a group of men who were fighting fiercely.

This man is dressed very delicately, and his short beard under his chin is neatly trimmed, which shows that he is a person with a good life.

"My Majesty, Zhao Minghan, is in charge of this place."

Chen Zhao glanced at him: "I am attacking the Liu family's private gang, but here comes a man named Zhao. Could it be that you are Zhao Shanhe's son?"

Zhao Minghan laughed: "The inspection master is joking, I am just a private salt boss and have nothing to do with Mr. Zhao."

"Since you are a private salt dealer, why are you so polite to me?"

Chen Zhao already understood that the Zhao family and the Liu family had cooperated, so they were able to invite so many gangsters to kill the rough guys.

No, it must be the merger of salt merchants, so there are so many people.

Otherwise, if a mere Zhao family could invite so many people, other salt merchants would be afraid that they would not be able to sleep at night.

Although it was brought in by a joint venture of salt merchants, the leader must be the Zhao family.

Although this kid claims to have nothing to do with Zhao Shanhe, how could he not have anything to do with him?

Either they are distant relatives, or they have children from close relatives.

Otherwise we wouldn’t have organized so many people.

Zhao Minghan saluted again, with impeccable etiquette: "Master Inspector, we are actually just begging for food. We are old and young. If we can't make any money today, the whole family will starve. You are pitiful.

Guys, how about giving us a way out?"

Chen Zhaoyou said leisurely: "There are old people at the top and young people at the bottom? There are probably more gangsters here who have bounties on them in the Yamen. Look at the archer. His arrows are sharp and sharp. You can tell at a glance that Mr. Mo is practicing archery.

Is this the life of the poor?”

"Besides, I heard that the monthly salary of private salt dealers is more than that of our yamen people. They also have to pay for their work, including starting fees, tea fees, soup and medicine fees, and housing expenses. And the gangsters, bandits and pirates everywhere have their own sales.

Cave, this means that if you can’t save money in a day, the whole family will starve?”

"I'm afraid this bragging will blow the world away!"

"Haha." Chen Zhao said with a half-smile on his face: "It's all a beheading job with your head pinned to your waistband. If you don't give me enough money, who will sacrifice their lives for you? You want to lie to others, and you want to lie to me?"

Chen Zhao has experienced a lot of the world. He has seen the darkest abyss and walked the brightest road. It is difficult to hide anything from him.

There are few people who can play tricks and scheming in front of him.

Pretending to be pitiful is useless.

Zhao Minghan sighed: "Master Inspector, you are very powerful, but you can't beat four hands with two fists. A good man can't stand in large numbers. If you really want us to be disrespectful to you, we are the king of Jiangnan Central Plains. If you hide, you

You can only die in vain, why bother?"

"The Inspector is serving the country, and we don't dare to embarrass you. There are ten silver notes worth one hundred thousand taels here. As long as the Inspector is kind-hearted, we will definitely give them to you."

Chen Zhao laughed and said: "I am an inspector of the imperial court. I am loyal to my duties. I have my own salary for daily life. If I really want money, I can go directly to the mountain dens and wander around the Caogang. I can also get the gold, mountains and silver sea. I will

I don't care about the little silver in your hand, but you think too highly of you. I'm here to destroy your private salt business."

"grown ups."

Zhao Minghan still refused to give up: "Although we are private salt dealers, we do it so that people all over the world can eat cheap and good salt."

Chen Zhao sneered: "You secretly exchanged the official salt for private salt sales. You added dirt, sand and gravel to the table salt, so that the people all over the world eat high-priced and low-quality salt. Do you really think I don't know?"

"When the country was founded, the imperial court set prices and the quality was stable. There was no shortage of salt in the world. Since you salt merchants became popular, the price of salt has remained high and the quality is extremely poor. The imperial court cannot collect taxes, and you are one by one.

But you have made a lot of money. Now you are talking nonsense in front of me. Do you think I am easy to bully?

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and everything that needs to be asked for has been asked for.

It's a pity that Chen Zhaoruan can't eat salty or sweet food.

I won't be fooled, and I won't take money from the salt merchants.

In the past, when encountering such tough problems, the salt dealers' approach was very simple, just dispose of them directly.

This is also the case now.

So Zhao Minghan snorted, stepped back, and said: "Since Inspector Zhao doesn't have to drink wine as a penalty for toasting, then don't be polite and give it to me!"

The crowd suddenly burst into shouts:

"Whoever kills Chen Zhao will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

"Three hundred taels of pension for those killed in war!"

Thousands of Han people were fighting in a vast area, and Zhao Minghan's voice could not be heard very far.

So there are only dozens of friends shouting slogans, distributed in every corner of the crowd.

As the saying goes, ‘a brave man must emerge from a heavy reward’.

What is the concept of ten thousand taels of silver?

It is the passport to live a arrogant and luxurious life from now on.

It is a guarantee card for three generations of grandparents to have food and drink without worries.

The gangster robs you an amount that you will never get back in your lifetime.

In the past, Suzhou and Hangzhou were familiar with each other.

Later, people in Suzhou and Hangzhou stopped growing mulberry and hemp instead of grain, and it became Hu-Guang Shu Tian Xia Su.

This shows that the soil in Suzhou and Hangzhou is fertile.

At its most expensive, one acre of land could be sold for fifteen taels of silver.

Because the economy in Jiangnan is good, businesses in various places have always been good.

Even for prosperous shops like Xuzhou and Hangzhou, a shop selling for five hundred taels is already a sky-high price.

So if you kill Chen Zhao and get 10,000 taels of silver, you can buy more than 600 acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, which will make the place rich and powerful, and your class will be greatly improved.

Of course, you can also buy twenty shops at once and become a charterer from then on.

If the private salt dealers were still afraid of Chen Zhao's identity as a peerless master before, then in their eyes, Chen Zhao was the golden doll who changed their own destiny and became a master from now on.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So, after whoever shouted first, hundreds of men came like a surging tide.

Chen Zhao sneered, and like lightning, he charged forward into the crowd, dodged a machete, and started killing people up and down.

Although the private salt dealers are powerful in numbers, they are still a ragtag group of people.

Without the deployment of capable manpower, the advantages of strength in numbers cannot be fully utilized.

Have you seen the position of those archers?

I should have stood at a high place and fired the arrow while Chen Zhao hadn't moved yet.

But in order to show off themselves, they have to stand in the crowd.

If you shoot an arrow in a crowd, who can you hit?

As long as Chen Zhao kept moving, no sharp arrows could hit him.

Not to mention arrows, the masters of concealed weapons were helpless against him.

Even if he uses hidden weapons in all kinds of ways, Chen Zhao is not afraid.

Because he has enough human shields in his hands.

So a moment later, Chen Zhao was surrounded by corpses and disabled people with severed limbs and howling in agony.

This time the crowd didn't retreat.

Because the war dead had enough pensions, the reward for killing Chen Zhao was 10,000 taels.

There were constant chants among the crowd.

Chen Zhao said nothing, concentrating on moving around and killing continuously.

If the human shield is broken, throw it away and replace it with another one.

If the knife is curled, throw it away and grab another one.

After killing for half an hour, they were frightened when they saw the salt leaders watching the battle in the distance.

Only then did the crowd's screams rise louder than the slogans.

Many heroes in the world slowly came back to their senses, and fear appeared in their eyes again.

"O Demon King!"

"God of death!"

"Run for your life!"

I don't know who screamed again, and suddenly weapons kept falling to the ground. The killers who usually kill without batting an eye could no longer contain the fear in their hearts, and turned around and ran away.

Chen Zhao looked at the people all over the ground, with neither joy nor sadness on his face.

I also let out a long sigh:
Chapter completed!
