Jiang Xu falls to the ground powerlessly, and his elder brother refuses to plead for him. The salt bank used to protect his life has become a chicken rib now, and he can no longer be the capital to protect his life. He loses Totally lost

For a long time, Jiang Xu raised his face, which seemed to be ten years old in an instant, and said powerlessly, "if I tell you the whereabouts of the salt bank, will you protect me from the pain of skin and flesh?"

Although he said it hard before, he has always been afraid of lingchi. I believe no one is not afraid of being cut dozens or even hundreds of knives.

"It's hard to catch up with what you say." Mu Qianxue's assurance reassured Jiang Xu. He struggled to stand up and said, "OK, I tell you, in my study, there is a copy of the atlas of the sea. There is a mezzanine on the back cover, which is a map. According to that map, you can find the salt bank, which stores tens of thousands of kilograms of salt." This time, he said it freely, and he didn't sell it off at all.

Mu Qianxue's eyes flashed a little invisible excitement, and her face was still calm. She only said two words to Lin Mo, "go for it!"

Lin Mo was ordered to leave. Half an hour later, he came back and reported that he had found the map Jiang Xu said. Now, decent people are looking for the salt storehouse according to the map, but the location should be in the eastern suburb of Yangzhou.

When Zhang Jin came over, it was already dark, and thin snowflakes were floating in the sky. Xia Yue held an umbrella to block the cold snowflakes for mu Qianxue. Jiang Xu was not so lucky. He was covered with snowflakes, and his hair and eyebrows became silvery white. He could not help shivering.

Zhang went to the gate of the city and threw the umbrella to the eunuch behind him. He came to Mu Qianxue and beat him respectfully, "my mother is blessed."

"How's it going?" Despite mu Qianxue's strong resistance, she still showed a trace of anxiety.

"We have found the salt storehouse, and your majesty has passed by. At this moment, people are going to bring out the salt all night. Your majesty is worried about the waiting of the empress, so he specially asked the slave to tell us." With that, Zhang Jin glanced at Jiang Xu and said with a smile, "this son of a bitch built the salt storehouse in the mountainside. If it wasn't for her clever plan, we would never have found it." When Jiang Xu heard what he said, he felt that something was wrong. He said: "what What A clever plan? "

Zhang Jin took a look at mu Qianxue. After the latter nodded, he came to Jiang Xushen and said with a sneer, "do you really think there is a salt bank in Jiangning? Ha ha. "

Jiang Xu's heart trembled, "false Fake? " Without waiting for Zhang Jin to say anything, he said, "no way, I I saw with my own eyes That's a lot of salt. "

"Do you really see dozens of cars full of salt? No, what you really see is only a bag of salt. All the other sacks are... " Under the gaze of Jiang Xu, Zhang Jin slowly spits out a word, "earth!"

"Earth..." Jiang Xu murmured this word, his body trembled, his eyebrows were shocked, and snowflakes fell down, "how can this happen?"

"How?" Zhang Jin said sarcastically: "because all these are the tricks of the imperial concubine, in order to make you think that the salt storehouse is useless, so that you can tell its whereabouts." He didn't forget how Jiang Xu satirized himself. He would not be polite if he caught the chance.

"The soldiers were indeed ordered by the empress to transport salt from Jiangning House overnight, but the salt that Jiangning House could collect was only one bag, which is the one you see today."

Jiang Xu lost his soul and said: "so From falling off the cart to breaking one's promise, it's all arranged in advance? "

"If it's not so, how can I lure you, an old fox? I might as well tell you that even the woman who spoke first was arranged in advance. Jiang Xu, you always claim to be smart. In fact, everything is expected by your mother. You It's just a clown. " Zhang Jin said impolitely.

Jiang Xu never thought that all this was a fraud today. He was stunned there. After he recovered, he rushed to Mu Qianxue like crazy. His voice was like a ghost, "you fool me so hard, bitch! I'll kill you

Zhang Jin had expected that he would move one step ahead of Mu Qianxue and push away Jiang Xu, who was bound by his hands and feet. "If it wasn't for you, why do you need to be so stubborn?"

"I'll kill you, all of you!" Jiang Xu struggles desperately, and wants to struggle with the rope that binds his hands. At the thought of the chance to live, he is cheated to give up by mu Qianxue, so he wants to strangle her.

Zhang Jin glared at him and said, "when death comes, I still don't know how to repent!"

Mu Qianxue said lightly: "it's meaningless to care with a dying man. Take him back."

"Yes." Zhang Jin respectfully promised that over the past ten years, he had witnessed mu Qianxue help the people of Dazhou through difficulties again and again with his extraordinary wisdom, which made him submit to his heart.

As Jiang Xu said, the salt stock is more than ten thousand jin. With this salt, the people in Yangzhou and even Huaihe finally don't have to worry about a mouthful of salt, and the long lost smile finally appears on their faces again.

At the same time, dongfangsu personally supervised the magistrate yamen of Yangzhou to inspect the eight salt merchants including Feng Wanyi. All the main criminals were jailed and 25 million taels of silver were extracted from their families. Besides, there were many treasures, antiques, and famous people's calligraphy and paintings.

At the same time, all over the Huaihe River and Huaihe River were ordered to check the salt merchants one after another. All the salt merchants who were once prosperous and carefree became prisoners of the lower class for a while.Dongfangsu's vigorous and resolute conduct and selflessness made the people cheer and celebrate one by one. After Lingyang, dongfangsu's prestige and reputation were pushed to the top again.

According to statistics afterwards, more than 50 million taels of silver were seized from the salt merchants' homes in Jiangxu and other places. The national treasury revenue for nearly two years is really amazing.

After dongfangsu's personal trial, Jiang Xu and the eight salt merchants were all pushed to the execution ground to be beheaded. On that day, all the people in Yangzhou city came to the execution ground. At the moment when their heads were cut off, the cheers continued for a long time. They were oppressed for a long time. Now they need such cheers to release their depression.

When Jiang Xu was beheaded, Jiang Yue sat in the restaurant beside him, pouring wine into his mouth cup by cup, especially at the moment when the cheering broke out, almost the whole pot of wine was poured down.

He knows Jiang Xu should die, but he is his brother after all. How can he not be sad.

Jiang Yue put down the empty wine pot and said, "little two, bring some more bottles of wine!"

The second child was embarrassed and said, "guest, you should be drunk if you drink any more."

Jiang Yue said impatiently, "I don't need you to take care of my business. Go and get the wine."

When the second child was still hesitating, a figure appeared in the line of sight, "take it according to his words."
