The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 481 Killing Again

Bows, arrows and armor are strictly forbidden by the court to be owned by the people.

Once discovered, it is regarded as treason.

Here, the armor is stricter than the bow and arrow.

In fact, many of the gangs that rely on canals and private salt for food have bows and arrows.

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

Under the high price reward offered by the salt merchants, those people in Yangzhou who used swords to make a living immediately flocked here. It is not surprising that there are archers among them.

"Master Inspector, you are polite!" Out of a group of fierce fighters, a guy in a brocade robe stepped out.

This person is very well dressed, and the short beard under the jaw is very well-groomed, which shows that he is a person with a good life.

"I'm Zhao Minghan, and Tim is in charge of this place."

Chen Zhao glanced at him: "I attacked the private salt of the Liu family, but a man surnamed Zhao came. Could it be that you are the son of Zhao Shanhe?"

Zhao Minghan laughed: "Master Inspector is joking, I'm just a smuggler and have nothing to do with Zhao Xingshou."

"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 already cooperated, so they were able to invite so many thieves to fight against the reckless.

No, it should be the confluence of all the 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 invited by the salt merchants as a joint venture, the Zhao family must be the leader.

Although this kid claimed to have nothing to do with Zhao Shanhe, how could he have nothing to do with him?

Either they are distant relatives, or they are the sons of the able-bodied confidants.

Otherwise, there would not be so many people organized.

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. Big guy, how about giving us a way out?"

Chen Zhaoyou said leisurely: "There are seniors and juniors? Here are more gangsters who have rewards in the yamen. Look at that archer. The arrows are sharp and bright. You can tell that Mo Shao practiced archery. Is this the life of the poor?"

"Besides, I heard that the monthly salary of the private salt dealers is more than that of our yamen. They also have to pay for the start-up fee, tea fee, soup medicine fee, and settlement fee. And the gangsters, bandits and pirates everywhere have their own sales funds. Cave, this means that if you can’t save money in a day, the whole family will starve?”

"This bragging is just bragging!"

"Hehe." Chen Zhao had a half-smile on his face, "It's all beheading with your head pinned to your trouser belt. If you don't pay enough money, who will work for you. You want to lie to others, and you want to lie to me?"

Chen Zhao has experienced many worlds. He has seen the darkest abyss and walked the brightest road. It is difficult to hide anything from him.

Few people can play tricks and scheming in front of him.

Pretending to be pitiful is even more useless.

Zhao Minghan sighed: "Master Inspector, you are powerful in force, but you can't beat four hands with two fists. A hero can't stand a crowd. If you really want us to be disrespectful to you, we are a group of people who hide in Jiangnan and Central Plains. You You can only die in vain, why bother?"

"The inspection master is serving the country, and we don't dare to embarrass you. Here are ten 10 taels of silver notes. As long as the inspection master is kind-hearted, we will definitely give them to you."

Chen Zhao chuckled: "I am an inspector of the imperial court. I am loyal to my duties. I have my own salary in daily life. If I really want money, I just go to the mountain nests and walk around in the Caobang. I can get gold, silver and sea. I will You care too much about the little silver in your hand, and you think highly of you. I am here to destroy your private salt business."

"grown ups."

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

Chen Zhao sneered: "You secretly exchange official salt and sell it as private salt. You add earth and sand to table salt, so that the people of 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 whole world. Since your salt merchants started, the price of salt has remained high, and the quality is extremely poor. The imperial court still cannot collect taxes. But he made a lot of money. Now he talks nonsense in front of me, do you think I'm easy to deceive?

All that should be said has been said, and all that should be asked has been asked.

It's a pity that Chen Zhaoruan can't eat it, and he can't eat salty or sweet.

You won't be fooled, and you don't want money from salt merchants.

In the past, when encountering such tough bones, the salt merchants' method was very simple, just dispose of them directly.

It is the same now.

So Zhao Minghan snorted, stepped back, and said, "Since inspector Zhao won't eat or drink fines for toasting, then everyone, don't be too polite, serve me!"

There were shouts one after another in the crowd:

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

"300 taels of compensation for the war dead!"

Thousands of fighters occupy a vast area, and the voice of a mere Zhao Minghan cannot be heard very far.

So this kind of slogan is only dozens of friends, distributed in every corner of the crowd.

As the saying goes, 'There must be a brave man under a great reward'.

What is the concept of ten thousand taels of silver?
It is a passport to live a life of lust and luxury from now on.

It is a guarantee card for three generations to eat and drink without worry.

Jiang Yang's thief robbed an amount that he would never get in his lifetime.

In the past, Suzhou and Hangzhou were familiar with the world.

Later, the area around Suzhou and Hangzhou stopped growing mulberry and hemp instead of grain, and it became a place full of crops in Huguang.

It shows that the soil quality in Suzhou and Hangzhou is fertile.

At the most expensive time, one mu of land could be sold for 15 taels of silver.

Because the economy in Jiangnan is good, the business of shops in various places has always been good.

Even if it is a prosperous store like Xuzhou Hangzhou, a store can sell for 500 taels, which is already a sky-high price.

So if you kill Chen Zhao and get 1 taels of silver, you can buy more than 600 acres of fertile land in Jiangnan.

Of course, you can also buy [-] shops in one go, and become a charterer from then on.

If private salt dealers were still afraid of Chen Zhao's status as a peerless master before, then in their eyes now, Chen Zhao is a golden baby who can change their own destiny and become a master from now on.

So, after whoever uttered a cry first, hundreds of men came rushing like a tide.

Chen Zhao sneered, and his body was like lightning, he stood up and rushed into the crowd, dodging a machete, and slashed up and down.

Although there are many private salt dealers, they are a mob after all.

Without the deployment of capable manpower, the advantages of a large number of people can't be brought into play at all.

Don't you see the positions of the group of archers?
He should have stood on a high place and shot the arrow before Chen Zhao moved.

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

If you shoot an arrow among a crowd, who can you shoot?
As long as Chen Zhao keeps moving, even sharp arrows can't hit him.

Not to mention arrows, those masters who used hidden weapons could do nothing to him.

Even if he casts his hidden weapon in a full-blown way, Chen Zhao is not afraid.

Because he has enough human shields in his hand.

So after a while, Chen Zhao was surrounded by corpses and disabled people who had lost their limbs and howled in agony.

This time the crowd didn't back down.

Because the war dead had enough pensions, the reward for killing Chen Zhao was 1 taels of silver.

The crowd kept shouting such slogans.

Chen Zhao didn't say a word, he concentrated on moving around, chopping and killing.

If the human shield is broken, just throw it away and replace it with a new one.

The blade is curled, so throw it away and grab another one.

After hacking and killing for half an hour, seeing those Yanding bosses watching the battle in the distance, they were frightened.

Only then did the crowd's screams rise above the slogans.

Only then did the many heroes of the rivers and lakes slowly come back to their senses, fear reappeared in their eyes.

"Demon King!"

"Kill God!"

"Run for your life!"

Who knows who yelled again, and suddenly the weapons kept falling to the ground, and the killers who usually kill without batting an eye could no longer contain the fear in their hearts, turned around and ran away.

Chen Zhao looked at the devastation all over the place, with no joy or sadness on his face.

I also let out a long sigh in my heart:

"This killing is nothing short of human life, and the salt merchants need to pay the price!"
