In Dingyan County, the Huang family courtyard is luxurious and luxurious. There are yards with nine in and nine out of nine out, with many servants and many beautiful maids.

The wealthy are hidden among the people. It is hard to imagine that such a work is owned by a local tyrant in a small county.

Huang Jianling sat in the study with an angry look on his face and cursed: "Bastard, did you send someone to beat the salt inspector?" A beautiful maid, after pouring tea for him, bowed his head and retreated. It was obvious that the gentry in this small county had very many rules and ordinary people dared not approach the study.

Huang Siqiong, the third son of the Huang family, who was kneeling in the hall, said with dissatisfaction: "Dad, that little official is extremely arrogant and shameless. He will do whatever he gives him. Not only did he accept our family's ten thousand taels of silver, but he also slept with four Yangzhou thin horses raised by his son since childhood. Who knew that after eating this guy, he would not let go, and insisted on taking back our salt. The salt is small, ours."

"Shut up!" Huang Jianling was furious and cursed with a grudge: "Then you can kill him to erase this matter? I have already found out that this fat man is extraordinary. He is the confidant of Duke Hou Xuanyan of Yue. In Jiading, he was one of the two people who often accompany Hou Xuanyan. You let him escape this time. Once you discover the secret of our family, our Huang family will be removed from the list from now on."

Huang Siqiong thrust his chest and was about to argue, but suddenly cursed like a deflated ball, "It's all that Li Lutai, who looks like a powerful general, who knows that he is so indifferent? I thought he could drive the Ming army back to Jiangnan."

Li Rutai swept Yangzhou and captured three prefectures and seven counties in three days. Everyone thought he could kill the Northern Expedition Army back to Jiangnan. Even Jiangnan was frightened by his reputation.

Later, Xiao Tongshan was defeated and his head was cut off and spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River, which stabilized people's hearts.

Huang Jianling's anger was not gone, but he knew that things had come to this point and there was no room for recovery. To be honest, he hated Xu Yuanbao slowly and had never seen such a cunning and shameless little official. Ordinary officials, when they came to Dingyan, were dizzy by the Huang family's sugar-coated shells.

Xu Yuanbao was obviously not as noble as he was on the boat with Hou Xuanyan. When he first arrived in Dingyan, he was also fascinated by the luxury of the Huang family. The Huang family looked at him eating and taking food and taking, and thought he was just a dog bought by the Huang family. Who knew that this kid had enough food and drink, and he refused to recognize people when he put on his pants. He changed his face faster than a dog, and arrogantly asked to hand over the salt intake. The salt-salting salt dealer was an important disguise for the Huang family. With this disguise, they could do a profitable transaction in secret.

If he loses the salt ray, there will be many inconveniences. When Huang Jianling was about to think of other solutions, his third son was impulsive and wanted to kill him.

Xu Yuanbao has been traveling around the country for so many years and has been dealing with profiteers, and is extremely alert. He could see at a glance that the Huang family's servants were wrong and that dangerous look was as if they were seen by Ye Fangli in Kunshan. Xu Yuanbao made a quick decision and fled to the riverside with his men. Sure enough, the Huang family members immediately chased him out.

Xu Wishbao fought and fled, robbed a small boat, fled along the Yanhe River to the river, and was just overwhelmed by the iron warship played by Hou Xuan.

Huang Jianling sighed and said, "Li leads Tai to brave but has no strategy. He goes deep into the army and does not take the Northern Expedition Army seriously. Who will die if he doesn't die? Our Huang family is about to face a great disaster. If you can't survive, you will make our whole family suffer."

Huang Siqiong disagreed and said, "Dad, don't panic. The Ming Dynasty has been surviving, and the world will sooner or later be from the Qing Dynasty. At worst, we will go to sea and flee north. Just rely on our family background, we cannot make a comeback."

With a bang, Huang Jianling slapped the table with a palm and cursed: "We are short-sighted people in Dingyan, which is an important flag for the Qing Dynasty. Once we reach the territory of the Qing Dynasty, we will be useless and have a huge wealth of fat sheep. Do you really think that people are all kind-hearted saints? Only a few days have passed in Yangzhou? Have you forgotten what the blood on the ground smells?"

Huang Siqiong, who had always been full of confidence, finally showed a hint of panic and said, "Dad, what should we do?"

"The hero cut off his arm! Hand over all the salt fields, and I will take you to take the thorns and apologize and cut off all contact with Huai'an. Send someone to notify Wakda, the prince of Duluoqian in Huai'an, and tell us the truth."

Huang Siqiong's face turned miserable and said, "Why did it come to this!"

"Why did it come to this? Son, tell you the truth. When necessary, you must be prepared to die for the family."

Huang Siqiong was so scared that she collapsed on the ground when she heard his father's cold words. He knew his father and never exaggerated.

Huang Jianling looked at his son, and the reluctance and love in his eyes flashed and said in a deep voice: "Hou Xuanyan is not a good person! We can only hope that he doesn't take it to heart, so don't think too much."

Hou Xuanyan, who is not a good man, is currently running towards Li Haoxian's camp, followed by thousands of personal guards. Zhang Mingzhen has been transferred by him to the Wusong River and mobilized the navy to block the Yangzhou port. Hou Xuanyan, who has always been cunning, is naturally sensitive to the aura of conspiracy. It is purely a delusional idea to expect him to turn a blind eye.

Everyone knew Hou Xuanyan's face when the Huo character camp was aware of the face. When Li Haoxian arrived at the ground in Taizhou, he already knew it.

"The commander-in-chief came to Taizhou? Why didn't he say anything in advance?" Li Haoxianxi said: "Don't worry, follow me and go and greet me."

Xu Yuanbao, who had his elder brother, was still bruised and swollen, but he was full of energy and was not as embarrassed as he fled. After hearing his words, Hou Xuanyan keenly realized that something must be strange. A merchant and gentleman, no matter what, dared not to kill the officials of the court, would not be blatant to kill the officials of the court. Unless they had enough confidence, or had something that dared not see people, it would be more serious than being retaliated by the government.

Hou Xuanyan, riding on the horse, was absent-minded. Yangzhou was the front line of the confrontation between the enemy and us. Once the war began, this was the first battlefield for close combat. Neither himself nor the Qing Dynasty would give up on the important town in Jiangbei. There would be a bloody battle here. If there were any hidden dangers at that time, it would kill people.

"What is the Ding Yan Huang family covering up?"

The yellow sand raised by the horse's hooves in the distance was towards Hou Xuanyan, Hu Bawan rode on the horse and stood up, and kicked the stirrups half a seat higher than ordinary people. He raised his hand to cover the sun and shouted loudly: "Master General, in front of him is the coaching flag of the Huo Camp, General Li has arrived."

Hou Xuanyan squeezed the horse's belly, whipped the horse's buttocks, and removed the distracting thoughts, and said with a smile: "Yuanbao, look at the elder brother to avenge you."
