Chapter 198 Seeing the injustice on the road, draw a knife to help

"Then you can notify the government and go and capture it." Chen Feng said.

The government? Hearing Chen Feng's slight statement, Chen Ruoxi was disappointed: "Brother Feng, the government can't control such a thing now. If it were still in Yangzhou City, the government might have come forward. Now, when we get outside, the government is also afraid of the Red Turban bandits. Those salt cubes usually look fierce, but if they really need them, they will not work at all. At this time, the only one who can help is their own family."

Originally, salt merchants were all subject to heavy taxes, and the imperial court also had a lot of salt cubes in order to investigate private salt sales, but there was no doubt that they were all afraid of death.

The Chen family's salt warehouse was robbed, and they intuitively had something to do with the Red Turban bandits, so at this time, they naturally leaned back.

It’s not that they don’t work. After receiving the Chen family’s report, they immediately started preparing. However, this preparation will take one or two days. At this time, they will go to the canal to investigate and there will be no sight.

Chen Shoudao knew all this, so after receiving the news, he immediately took more than a dozen servants to chase after him. It would be better to rely on others than to rely on himself.

Chen Ruoxi was afraid that Chen Shou would reveal the danger, so she came to find Chen Feng.

Who knew that Chen Feng pushed all this to the government.

"Brother Feng, although you have been promoted to a sixth rank official in the court, your surname is Chen, and this cannot be changed no matter what. Now, our salt warehouse is robbed, which is a major event that concerns the entire family. Even if others see injustice, they draw their swords to help, let alone our own family? The second brother actually slandered you as the Red Turban Army. Our whole family was very angry, but we still have to find a way to save him because we are a family. Of course, now the second brother's actions have exceeded the bottom line that we can tolerate. If you turn a blind eye to this matter, then at least you are ashamed of the two books you wrote. What choice will the knights in it make when encountering this situation?" Chen Ruoxi said: "It is useless to say more, I will say goodbye."

"Wait!" Chen Feng said, "I didn't say I won't go."

Chen Ruoxi's face turned joyful. For some reason, she was very confident in this younger brother. As long as he agreed to help, things would turn around.

"I immediately wrote a letter and sent someone to Lianghuai Salt Transportation Department to ask the salt transport commissioner to help. Sister Ruoxi, please prepare a boat at Dongguan Wharf. I went to check the salt warehouse and asked the people guarding the salt warehouse, and immediately went to chase after him." Chen Feng said.

The Lianghuai Salt Transportation Bureau, the most important salt industry institution in the court, was set up on Yangzhou Road. Chen Feng returned to Yangzhou this time and had a friendship with this salt transportation envoy.

Of course, Yan Ding was just a helper, and Chen Feng was not sure when this helper would arrive. The most important thing is to rely on himself.

Although Chen Ruoxi is a female, she also took on the heavy burden when she suddenly encountered a change at home.

Convincing Chen Feng to help is probably the most correct thing Chen Ruoxi did.

Since Chen Feng decided not to stand idly by, he must do it neatly.

Calling Zhang Sanwu and four brothers, Chen Feng hurried to the salt warehouse, looking for some evidence from there, and then taking the fast ship to chase after him.

One of the mysteries that Chen Feng needs to solve most now is Ding Chengxian’s helper. Who is Ding Chengxian?

After leaving the canal, the water surface suddenly became wider. This place was already the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The three salt ships seemed very big in the canal, but when they arrived on the river, they suddenly seemed small.

"Hang our flags." A dark-skinned man shouted the bow of a ship.

"Yes, brother." Another person agreed, lifting a flag onto the mast, making a sound in the wind, and the big salt word on it looked very dazzling.

They float on the water all year round. All of these boatmen are very strong and their skin has been sunburned into bronze. Although the weather is cold now, many people are still half-armed, and the skin on them is a little cracked.

The man named Big Brother has a very straight facial features. If it weren't for Kong Wu's powerful arms, he would look a bit as elegant as a literati. It was just that the cold light occasionally flashed in his eyes showed that he was walking on the blade.

The ships they drove were all official ships for carrying salt, but they often carried their own private salt in this official ship, which means they were a group of private salt dealers with legal robes.

The leading elder brother is Zhang Jiusi.

Thinking of the salt in the boat, they felt joyful. This deal was too cost-effective.

In another boat, a young man, with his upper body, said to the man with a good temperament beside him: "Brother Ding, it's really good. This time we can get so much salt, it's all your credit."

"Brother Pan, wherever you are. If you don't have all your brothers, you can't move so much salt by myself." The person who spoke was Ding Chengxian, the manager of the Chen family's outer courtyard.

Even Ding Chengxian’s thoughts were two words in his heart. He admired this matter, and he did it beautifully!

The person next to him was Pan Yuanming, one of his relatives, Pan Yuanming and a younger brother, Pan Yuanshao, were on another boat.

After joining the Chen family, at the beginning, Ding Chengxian honestly gradually gained the trust of the Chen family, and with his own ability, he achieved a very high position as the manager of the outer hospital.

However, a person's ideas gradually change as his status changes.

For Ding Chengxian, he is a decent person in front of his servants every day. However, the parents and children of the Chen family still have to be humble. After a long time, he will inevitably wonder why these people should be better than him? Isn’t it just that they have salt in hand? If they have it, they may not be worse than them.

With more of this kind of thought, Ding Chengxian inevitably began to take practical actions to control the entire Chen family and eventually turn the Chen family into his own!

In the Chen family, the old man, the eldest master and the young lady are very smart and capable, while the second master of the Chen family is ignorant, so he can only find a way out of him.

At the beginning, Ding Chengxian did not find a breakthrough because the second young master was idle all day long and had never thought about taking over any business from the Chen family. He was already used to this kind of life.

Ding Chengxian was not discouraged. He was waiting for the opportunity until Chen Feng suddenly appeared. Ding Chengxian knew that this opportunity had finally come.

Chen Shouye is absolutely unwilling to be a person like Chen Feng to enter the Chen family. Chen Shouye will not see the benefits of Chen Feng entering the Chen family, but will only see that he may have fewer family businesses in the future.

Originally, Ding Chengxian decided to kill Chen Feng first, and then kill Chen Shoudao and Chen Zuwang. The Chen family's family business belonged to Chen Shouye, and Chen Shouye had no ability at all. At that time, Chen Shouye would definitely be at his own mercy, and the Chen family would be his own.

The first step here is to defeat Chen Feng, which is very difficult. As Chen Feng becomes more and more prosperous, he becomes a sixth-rank official in the court. If he wants to defeat him, it is almost impossible for him to do it like a housekeeper and a playboy.

Fortunately, Chen Feng has many flaws. His martial arts and culture seem to appear out of thin air overnight. There are too many problems here.

Afterwards, Pan Yuanming saw Chen Feng wrapped in red scarves in Xuzhou City, and found out that this person was the Red Turban Army or Peng Zu's disciple.

He passed the news to Ding Chengxian, and Ding Chengxian knew that this opportunity had finally come.

Unfortunately, all of them were screwed up by the fool Chen Shouye. He did not calm down, but ended up falling into the trap designed by Chen Feng.

This will be a disaster. Ding Chengxian was taken to question. After he came back, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he was, the more he was, the more he thought about it, the more he was not sure, but Chen Feng was simply a personal sensual, and he would definitely see that he had a problem.

I simply did it all the time. I have been in the Chen family for so many years and have laid the foundation. Now it is time to harvest the fruits.

Ding Chengxian knew that a large amount of salt was stored in the Chen family's Dongguan salt warehouse. At that time, he contacted his brothers and waited on the dock outside Dongguan the next morning to prepare for loading the ship.

Pan Yuanming is just a small character, and they regard Zhang Jiusi as their eldest brother.

They are all salt people from the Baiju Salt Field in Xinghua. They are usually normal, they are boatmen who run the boat, transport salt to the court, and have transported salt to the Chen family many times.

However, behind the scenes, Zhang Jiusi brought these brothers to sell them in the official salt mixed with private salt. Zhang Jiusi made a lot of money by selling private salt, but his private salt could only be purchased from the salt quietly made by coastal salt people, and the output was not very high.

This time, all the salt in the Chen family's salt warehouse was transported out and sold, which made Zhang Jiusi's profitable from the beginning of this private salt business until now.

Of course, it is not that simple to transport the salt. If Ding Chengxian can do it, he wouldn't have to make so many games in the Chen family.

Therefore, Ding Chengxian kept lobbying for the beautiful but simple-minded Xiang family, and finally fooled her.

The Chen family cannot accommodate their mother and son, so they can rescue Chen Shouye by themselves, but this requires a considerable amount of money to use many people.

Moreover, after the mother and son come out, where can the world be so big? No matter where they go, they will not be able to go without money.
