The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

Full of expectation, Jiang Zhen opened the package Zhao Jinge gave him.

He wrote a thick letter to Brother Zhao Jin. Although the writing was not very good due to lack of experience, he also wrote clearly how much he missed Zhao Jinge. It should be regarded as a love letter. I don't know that Brother Zhao Jin would give him What to send, will there also be a love letter in it?

Jiang Zhen didn't see any love letters. There was a bag in the baggage, and in the bag... was this a bag of flour?

No, it's not just the flour, there's something else in the flour...

Jiang Zhen took out a gourd and a wooden box from the flour.

The gourd was huge and heavy. At first he thought it was wine, but when he opened it, he found that it was full of solidified lard. As for the wooden box...

The wooden box contained a box full of sun-dried sauced meat, and a letter was placed on top of the sauced meat.

Jiang Zhen opened the letter that smelled like sauce and meat, and saw Zhao Jinge's writing.

Brother Zhao Jin's letter was well written, without any mistakes. It is estimated that he made a draft first, and then copied it again. At the beginning of the letter, he said that he also missed him, and then he didn't have any nasty words, just said I am fine, everything is fine at home, and I also mentioned flour and lard sauce meat: "You said that there is not enough food, and you want to eat at home, so I prepared some for you."

Zheng Yi said not to bring too many things, so Zhao Jinge could only do his best to stuff as much food as possible into the bag.

In fact, he wanted to bring rice to Jiang Zhen at first, but later found that more flour could be put in, so he replaced it with flour, and put lard and sauced meat in the flour so as not to take up space.

"Jiang Ming, get me a fish that hasn't been cooked yet, it should be bigger." Jiang Zhen said.

"Yes, boss!" Jiang Ming quickly brought a rather large fish to Jiang Zhen, and then saw Jiang Zhen take out a piece of fat and thin sauced meat, cut a few slices and stuffed them into the belly of the fish, and carefully I spread a little lard on the body of the fish with twigs, and then put the fish on the fire to roast.

Grilled fish needs to be brushed with oil to cook well. They didn't have oil before, so Jiang Zhen could only eat boiled fish, but now it's different.

Now he has a gourd of lard!

Jiang Zhen used to grill a lot before, and the skill of grilling fish is very good. The fish is very oily and smells delicious.

Zhu Erlin couldn't help swallowing when he smelled it.

"Jiang Zhen, sell this fish to me!" Zhu Erlin said to Jiang Zhen.

He got a lot of gold and silver, but he has been living in the very closed Hongjiang saltworks, and has never been to Zhu Erlin outside. Although he knows that the gold and silver are good things, he doesn't know their value. Take out a piece of gold the size of a baby's fist to buy a fish.

"Not for sale." Jiang Zhen still didn't sell it: "My daughter-in-law gave it to me." So saying, Jiang Zhen caught a drop of oil dripping from the grilled fish with a branch, and it was about to drip into the fire. Then he put the branch into his mouth and tasted the long-lost taste of lard.

It's been almost two months since he came out, and his stomach is short of oil and water again...

Not only did Jiang Zhen cook the grilled fish, but he also took out some flour and mixed it with water to make two flatbreads. Then, he ate up the two flatbreads with the grilled fish, leaving nothing for others.

In the end, Zhu Erlin could only eat boiled fish smelling the aroma of grilled fish with sauced meat.

After eating, Jiang Zhen only felt that his whole body was full of strength.

Although Brother Zhao Jin wasn't very romantic, the things he gave were really affordable, and they were delivered to his heart!

"I want to eat rice." Zhu Erlin muttered, and suddenly looked at the people around him: "You say, can we go and grab the food for the officers and soldiers?" The rice is delicious, he really couldn't think about it , As for pork... Even if there are pigs raised here in the Hongjiang Salt Farm, the meat cannot be eaten by salt farmers like them. He hasn't tasted pork yet, so he can't miss it.

Zhu Erlin didn't just talk about it. A few days later, he actually went to grab a batch of food and grass that the officers and soldiers brought in later.

Some of these grains were sent to the mountains for the old and the weak to eat, and the rest made them no longer have to look at Jiang Zhen's flour paste.

They are now envious of Jiang Zhen's lard and sauced meat.

That is definitely the most fragrant thing in the world!

Up to now, the people in the area of ​​Hongjiang Salt Fields, no matter they are salt households or ordinary people, have basically defected to Jiang Zhen and Zhu Erlin in order to survive.

Those old and weak were placed on the mountain, and the remaining young and strong were led by Jiang Zhen to play guerrilla warfare with the officers and soldiers.

These young and strong are all born and bred here. They are very familiar with the terrain here, so they can always avoid the pursuit of officers and soldiers, and they can always escape. Fight against these "rebels" who come and go without a trace.

By the sea, in a dilapidated fishing village.

This fishing village is not big at all. It used to be estimated that there were [-] or [-] households living there. But now, the villagers have long since disappeared. I don’t know if they were killed or ran away. It was full of people who came to suppress the rebellion. Officers and soldiers.

There are a lot of these officers and soldiers, and not everyone has a house to live in. Most of them can only sit anywhere outside the house.

Last night, they encountered several enemy attacks. The night before, and the night before, people also attacked them and robbed them of their belongings. If you really count them, they haven't slept well for more than ten days.

Those rebels probably didn't fight them head-on due to the small number of people, but instead came to attack them and harass them all day... They didn't actually die, but they were exhausted and lost all energy.

At this moment, all the dirty and unshaven officers and soldiers were lying on the ground drowsy. People who didn't know it might think that they saw a pile of corpses.

Wang Xiaoqi is one of the officers and soldiers.

He has only one this year, and when someone from above came to recruit soldiers, his family had to produce one, because his two older brothers were already married and had children, so his parents let him serve as a soldier.

Being a soldier is not hard for Wang Xiaoqi.In the military camp before, although they had a lot to do, and the higher ups didn't give them enough to eat, it was actually similar to when he was at home, but now...

Wang Xiaoqi rubbed her stomach aching from hunger, and woke up smelling the aroma of rice.

He was still sleepy, but hunger made him sleepless, so he stopped sleeping altogether, took off his shoes, and popped the blisters on his feet with a sharp branch.

After squeezing out the water from the bubble, Wang Xiaoqi asked Wang Wu from the same village beside him, "Uncle Wu, how long are we going to stay here?"

"I don't know." Wang Wu said.

"Okay, why do we come here to kill? Kill a group of people?" Wang Xiaoqi asked again, he really didn't know what they came here for...

"Stinky boy, what are you talking about, we are here to suppress the rebellion!" Wang Wu gave Wang Xiaoqi a look, but that look, coupled with his bloodshot eyes, was not deterrent at all.

"But..." Wang Xiaoqi frowned, the people above asked them to kill, it was ordinary people...

"Don't think about what we have and what we don't have, you should think about how we will live in the future." Wang Wudao: "Those people are getting more and more powerful, and they have robbed us of all our food. Killed by them, alas..."

Wang Xiaoqi shivered when he thought of those people who were elusive and would make trouble whenever they had a rest.

He doesn't want to die yet...

Just as Wang Xiaoqi was thinking this way, the shouts of killing suddenly resounded in the village.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Get up and kill the enemy!" The hundred households who led them shouted, but the big guys hadn't got up and rushed over. Those enemies who suddenly came and snatched the rice they had just cooked, Then disappeared without a trace.

Those people have already robbed the food and grass, and now there is no cooked rice...

The food they carried was about to run out, and if this continued, they might starve to death here... These officers and soldiers were in a hurry.

"We're going to run out of food!"

"My lord, why are we fighting like this?"

"We're going back!"

……

Wang Xiaoqi looked at the messy scene in front of him, and the more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt, and he couldn't help crying: "Father, I miss you..."

His words made everyone around him quiet, and after that, the officers and soldiers started crying together.

It has been almost two months since they came here to put down the rebellion, and they have been sleeping in the open for almost two months, it is really unbearable.

They want to go back, they want to eat and sleep well.

The officers and soldiers have lost their fighting spirit. As for the people in the Hongjiang Salt Field...

Those who killed innocent people in the Hongjiang Salt Field, Jiang Zhen has killed many people these days, as for the remaining people...

Those officers and soldiers will kill ordinary people to earn military merits, and those who see the Hongjiang Salt Field will naturally not let them go... Those who were very peaceful in the Hongjiang Salt Field and did not form a mess to kill ordinary people at will were killed by the officers and soldiers in the end. , and some others came to seek refuge with Jiang Zhen.

Not counting those old and weak, there were more than 3000 people around Jiang Zhen, only adult men.

It was at this time that Zheng Yi sent another letter, in which he told Jiang Zhen that he had rented some sea boats, and he would personally bring people over to pick them up.

Zheng Yi also said that not only the old and the weak had to board the boat, Jiang Zhen and others also boarded the boat to leave, because the imperial court sent another imperial envoy to deal with the Hongjiang saltworks.

According to the Empress Dowager's intention, she intends to convict Hongjiang Salt Farm and everyone involved with Hongjiang Salt Farm. After that, another salt farm will be built here, and the Queen Mother will hold the salt farm in her own hands.

The imperial court has already planned to clean up the place thoroughly, so there is no need for Jiang Zhen to stay here.

He had indeed achieved his goal and planned to leave.

"We can all go?" Zhu Erlin was stunned when he heard Jiang Zhen say that they could leave.

He has always known that he has done something rebellious and immoral, and thought that he would hide in Tibet for the rest of his life or be killed by officers and soldiers, but now, what did Jiang Zhen say?

Jiang Zhen said they can leave too?Can live elsewhere?

"Yes, you can go too." Jiang Zhen said: "Of course, you have to pay."

"Here! I'll give you money! Hahahahaha!" Zhu Erlin agreed without hesitation. Compared with surviving, what is giving some money?

That money was originally stolen from them.

Jiang Zhen and Zhu Erlin negotiated the price, and after walking away half of the silver pit that Zhu Erlin had brought, he suddenly remembered that there was someone he had forgotten.

That imperial envoy, he still needs to communicate with him.

It's been a while since Zhou Mao and the imperial envoy looked more like savages.

Those old and weak, because the living conditions on the mountain are not good, many people are sick, Zhou Maohe is still very energetic, when he sees Jiang Zhen, he can even reprimand him loudly: "Jiang Zhen, are you planning to become a rebellious party? If not, why did you hang out with them all day and throw me here?!"

"Master Zhou, I have no choice but to do this," Jiang Zhen said, "Master Zhou, this is actually the safest place for you... You copied the Hongjiang Salt Farm, and there are countless people outside who want to kill you! "

Zhou Maohe was taken aback.

After a while, he looked at Jiang Zhen again: "You didn't come here just to save me, did you?"

"How come? I'm here to save Master Zhou." Jiang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little worried about what Master Zhou would see.

Zhou Maohe waved his hand and sighed: "You don't have to lie to me, I know you are a good person."

Jiang Zhen probably didn't come to save him, but to save the people by the sea.

Thinking of how grateful the people around him were to Jiang Zhen, who kept saying that Jiang Zhen was their savior, and hearing that Jiang Zhen had persuaded Zhu Erlin to fight head-on with the officers and soldiers, Zhou Maohe became more and more sure of his guess.

This person was willing to kill the water bandits to save people, but this time he came to save the people by the sea... Although he looks vicious, he is actually a good person.

Jiang Zhen, who was issued a good person card: "..."

Under the relentless harassment by Zhu Erlin and his men, almost all the officers and soldiers have retreated. Now the area where the Hongjiang Salt Works is located is much, much safer than before.

It was raining lightly, and the weather was not good, but in a long queue, everyone looked happy.

The drizzle fell from the sky and landed on Jiang Zhen's face and hair. Drops of water condensed. He wiped it with his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't come in vain this time.

He saved a lot of people, got a lot of manpower, not to mention a lot of money... With people and money, his life will definitely get better and better in the future.

"Jiang Zhen, you won't lie to me, will you?" Zhu Erlin also wiped the water from his face, and asked a little uneasily.

"What do you have that I can lie to?" Jiang Zhen asked.

Zhu Erlin opened his mouth, and suddenly realized that Jiang Zhen really didn't need to lie to him.

If Jiang Zhen wanted to harm them, he would definitely have the ability to make them fight among themselves and force them to tell where their money was hidden, but Jiang Zhen did not do this at all, but was always thinking of ways to feed the old and weak.

"What can we do in the future?" Zhu Erlin asked again.

"If you want, you can join the Jin Zhen Escort." Jiang Zhen said.

"Really?" Zhu Erlin looked at Jiang Zhen excitedly.

Jiang Zhen nodded.

Zhu Erlin wiped the water droplets off his face again, but this time what he wiped off were not all the cold water droplets that condensed after the spring rain fell on his face, there were even warm teardrops inside.

The army led by Jiang Zhen and Zhu Erlin was huge, with tens of thousands of people.

Such a huge team moved slowly, and finally came to the seaside.

A dozen or so huge sea ships were parked there. Looking from a distance, one could see many small boats parked by the sea, and some people were active by the sea.

Jiang Zhen didn't rush over, but asked Jiang Ming to check the situation first.

After Jiang Ming went there, he came back soon. When he came back, he was followed by a person wearing a huge bamboo hat and a thick coir raincoat.

Today's rain is not heavy, but the man wrapped himself up so tightly that no one could see his appearance clearly.

"Who is that?" Zhu Erlin was a little curious.

Jiang Zhen's heart was beating fast.

That is……

The man in the big bamboo hat raised his head after approaching, allowing Jiang Zhen and others to see his appearance clearly. If it's not Brother Zhao Jin, who else is it?

"Brother Jin!" Jiang Zhen yelled, and rushed towards Brother Zhao Jin, wanting to give Brother Zhao Jin a hug.

But Zhao Jinge dodged: "Be careful..."

When he spoke, his chest moved, and then a small face poked out from the coir raincoat.
