In another restaurant's second-floor private room, there were about a dozen wealthy businessmen sitting.

These people are all big salt merchants in Yangzhou. A few days ago, Zeng Zhao Shanhe held a meeting at his home to study how to deal with Lin Ruhai and Chen Zhao.

At that time, they invited foreign aid and used outsiders to use their methods in an attempt to drag Chen Zhao down.

Little did he know that Chen Zhao had already taken action before he took action here.

Zhao Shanhe had no choice but to push for the second option.

But he didn't expect that the second method, which was supposed to be invincible, was actually defeated by Chen Zhao's thunderous method.

In fact, Zhao Shanhe still despised Chen Zhao and regarded him as Hai Rui, who had great skills but no one behind him, so he just wanted to drag Chen Zhao into the water.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhao slapped Zhen Ruyun in the face and was thrown into prison.

That's why today's move was made.

Previously, all the salt merchants showed their momentum. After all, they have tens of thousands of tenants, and their life and death depend on a single thought. They have tens of millions of gold and silver at their disposal. As the saying goes, move your energy and nourish your body.

People who can control these can develop some power.

But now in front of this scene, they all looked shocked, frightened, and at a loss.

It is said that the hearts of the people are as strong as iron and the laws of officials are as strong as furnaces. When officials are determined to talk to you with swords and guns, and all your usual official support is missing, no one can do anything.

Zhao Shanhe glanced at several people and said: "Brothers, Chen Zhao is so ruthless, how should we deal with him next?"

A middle-aged fat man named Li Zhaohe said: "Master Zhao, I said two months ago that the Lin family has sinister intentions and should be eliminated as soon as possible. But I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless and shameless. I told you, let's do it quickly.

, kill him! In fact, haven’t we killed too many officials? Not to mention that Chen Zhao is just a small ninth-grade sesame official, but if we kill the entire Lin family, so what? One more member of their family is not more, and one less person is less.

There are many for each family.”

Another person chuckled and said: "Old Li said it lightly. Who doesn't know that Chen Zhao's martial arts is so profound that thousands of criminal thieves were frightened out of their wits. Who can kill him?"

Li Zhaohe said coldly: "Of course I am asking the powerful officials in the court to impeach him unanimously, so that he can be captured by the emperor and beheaded at the Meridian Gate!"

"Are you stupid? Lin Ruhai just gave the emperor several million taels of silver, and you want the emperor to chop off his head now? How is this possible?"

Li Zhaohe said: "Then we will secretly poison Chen Zhao. If the poison does not kill Chen Zhao, then we will poison Lin Ruhai to death. Without Lin Ruhai, Chen Zhao will be just a lonely ghost."

Zhao Shanhe nodded slightly and said: "Brother Li is right, I underestimated him before, now I will handle it myself!"

Everyone nodded.

After all, there are so many salt merchants in Yangzhou, and only the Zhao family is the leader.

His family has many guests, and it is said that among them there are poison masters who came from the southwest. Once they are poisoned, it will be difficult to prevent them.

That's why the Zhao family can occupy 30% of Yangzhou's salt industry.

What a rich country!

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Shanhe walked onto a carriage, and a horseman in fine clothing said to Zhao Shanhe: "Master, where are we going?"

"Leave the city immediately, don't stay here for long!"

The coachman nodded and immediately waved his whip. Unexpectedly, the carriage only moved forward a dozen feet, and several figures blocked the front. The leader was Yanding Kongmu, named Lin Fei. Behind him was a dozen saltings, each one

He raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and heard Lin Fei scream towards the stopped carriage: "Mr. Zhao Shanhe, Mr. Zhao, the Salt Inspector's Yamen has invited you, please get off the car!"

The groom was slightly startled, but he was about to have an attack.

He was originally a fighting man, and with a flick of his whip, he was about to make a killing move, but there was a "swish" sound, and a sharp arrow was directly nailed to his throat.

Then the coachman stiffened and fell off the carriage.

"The rivers and lakes are so rough that even ants dare to fight against us!"

A servant put down his bow and arrow and said with disdain.

Zhao Shanhe in the carriage sighed, secretly blaming himself for being too careless.

He was traveling in such a simple manner and had no guards around him. No wonder someone noticed him and took this opportunity to intercept him.

If there were dozens of guards by his side, he might be able to rush in quickly and escape from the city.

It's all too late now.

He glanced at Lin Fei and immediately recognized the other person's identity.

In fact, he remembered the descriptions of Lin Ruhai's family and everyone around him.

Lin Dafei smiled and said: "Master Zhao, there is a request from the Yangzhou Salt Inspector Yamen!"

Zhao Shanhe smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that we, ordinary people, could actually work. Master Lin sent someone to invite us!"

Usually when the salt patrol censor appointed by the imperial court takes office, who doesn't know that he is a member of the Supreme Emperor, and who is not allowed to visit his home and say nice things?

But the past was like smoke, and at this moment, he could only get out of the carriage obediently, knowing in his heart that his family was probably going to end.

It wasn't that Zhao Shanhe was arrogant and unprepared and directly selected a group of strong men among his tenants. It was actually that Zhao Shanhe never thought that Chen Zhao would dare to be so crazy and directly slaughter hundreds of people.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, and no official has ever dared to do this!

Those Jiedu envoys dared to do this because they had soldiers in their hands!

Those dandy boys dared to ask their servants to kill people, but they only dared to kill one or two people.

Even so, you have to find a way to open up official connections and spend a lot of money to get through.

Besides, in Zhao Shanhe's expectation, Chen Zhao was bound to die this time. Just like Linzhou and Suzhou, he was also a tenant who was transferred directly. Afterwards, he casually introduced a few scapegoats. Isn't everything calm?

Several saltmen stepped forward, pulled Zhao Shanhe off the carriage, and then tied him up with five-flowered ropes. However, during this process, Zhao Shanhe seemed very calm, and even his face was filled with a trace of anger.

Share the smile.

Of course he would not know that at this moment, a patrol team that had just seen human blood was preparing to completely capture the Zhao family mansion. Chen Zhao had already made up his mind to completely clean up the Zhao family in Yangzhou.

Zhao Shanhe has been monopolizing Yan Gang in Yangzhou for decades. He has communicated with the imperial court and local officials. At the same time, he has trained many scribes to support his family. He has been living in Weifu in Yangzhou for his own use for so long that he has forgotten it.

"The county magistrate who destroys the family is the prefect who destroys the family".

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Legally speaking, the Salt Patrol Yamen found signs of tax evasion by merchants under its jurisdiction, and could contact the local government to handle the matter, but in an emergency

If the situation arises, you can deal with it first and then tell it later.

Now the Salt Patrol Censor's Yamen has been besieged for a long time, but the local officials have not shown up at all - naturally they will not show up casually, which gave Chen Zhao an opportunity to turn things around.

This opportunity was definitely left to him by the enemy.

Since the local government was deliberately slow to respond, don't blame Chen Zhao for being ruthless!

Among Yangzhou salt merchants, the Zhao family is the most powerful. Not only does his family have a large number of people, but there are also many heroes. They are wealthy businessmen on the surface, but they are powerful behind the scenes. They have been praised by the emperor and the emperor.

The bottom line is that even the high-ranking officials in the Liangjiang area are unwilling to provoke the Zhao family.

However, this time, Chen Zhao sent people to fight with murderous intent, catching the Zhao family by surprise.

Those thugs and heroes were killed by sharp arrows before they took action. There was a clan elder who relied on his elders to gain connections. In the end, he only spoke half of his words before he was shot through the throat by a sharp arrow.

It can be said that the Zhao family had no time to resist, so the saltmen who patrolled the Salt Censor's Yamen broke into the house, their property was confiscated, the clan members were captured alive, and all the gangsters were killed.

The tens of millions of property accumulated by the Zhao family were deprived of all by the Salt Patrol Censor Yamen.

When Zhao Shanhe saw this scene, his heart ached even more, and he vomited blood and passed out in the lobby of the Yushi Yamen.

But now he has lost his family property, lost his wings, and has become a waning old man. Who will pay attention to him and throw him directly into prison?

Everyone was excited and confused at the same time.

No matter how ferocious the Zhao family's dead warriors are, they are no match for the team formed by the salt men. Although those guys who come and go are very good at martial arts, if they use them, they will just end up being shot to death with an arrow.

"The dead men of the Zhao family are very brave, but in the end they were no match for a volley of arrows. It seems that those high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen were also deceived by a bunch of fools. I thought they were so smart!"

With this mentality, the more property was seized, the more contemptuous the saltmen became, and they were reluctant to stab all these guys to death.

Their martial arts skills are so strong and their knowledge is so far-reaching. For so many years, they have only been humble salt men. They were deceived by the methods of this group of wealthy businessmen, thinking that they were all deep-minded, good at dancing, shrewd and powerful.

I didn't expect to be so vulnerable!

If you had known this, why were you so afraid of them in the first place?
