Yun Niang stood up and asked, still with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Zhou, how can I save the head of my family?"
"Since we are rebels, I think we can use the power of the imperial court." Zhou Guangji said thoughtfully.
"With the power of the imperial court?" Yun Niang opened her mouth, "But we are just some villagers, how can we borrow the power of the imperial court?"
"Mrs. Li, now that things have come to this, I think I have to say something openly. I believe you should know better than me why Mrs. Xiao wanted to take Mr. Li away." Zhou Guangji said.
"What do you mean by Mr. Zhou's words?" Yun Niang asked confused.
"How long will Mrs. Li plan to keep it secret?" Zhou Guangji took out the salt ore, "If Mr. Li hadn't discovered this salt ore, would there have been so many people interested in Mr. Li and Beiba Village?"
Yun Niang's expression changed, "Where did Mr. Zhou get this stone?"
"Where does this salt ore come from? Mrs. Li doesn't need to delve into it. Mrs. Li only needs to answer me, am I right?" Zhou Guangji said.
Yun Niang lowered her head and said nothing.
"Salt has always been strictly controlled by the imperial court. I know that Mr. Li has obtained the documents from the Salt and Tea Department through the Zhuang Mansion, but with the documents and without a strong backer, you cannot guard a treasure mountain after all!" Zhou Guangji said.
"What happened to Mr. Li now is the best explanation."
"So, Mrs. Li, instead of being on guard day and night and being on tenterhooks all day long, it is better to find a strong backer with a court background. This will not only solve the problem once and for all, but also use the power of the court to rescue Mr. Li. It is really a strategy that kills two birds with one stone!"
"Mr. Zhou, do you want us to hand over the salt mine?" Yun Niang raised her head and asked.
"I'm not asking you to hand over the salt mine, but we can mine it together. Madam Li, think about it. Wouldn't it be safer and safer to have someone from the imperial court as your backer, no matter what you do?" Zhou Guangji.
"I'm just a woman, so I really can't make up my mind about this kind of thing. Besides, I actually know very little about the salt mine. The boss never lets me get involved in those things. The boss is not here, so I really don't know about this kind of thing. What should I do?" Yun Niang said with a look of helplessness and anxiety.
Zhou Guangji pondered for a moment, "It is indeed a bit difficult for Mrs. Li to make a sudden decision, but Mrs. Li has thought about it for Mr. Li, and the matter needs to be decided as soon as possible."
Then he bowed his hands to Yun Niang and said goodbye, "That's all Zhou can do to help. I'll ask Mrs. Li to think about the rest."
Just when he was about to step out of the threshold, Yun Niang suddenly shouted, "How dare I ask Mr. Zhou, is the person you are referring to with a court background a senior official?"
Zhou Guangji turned around and said, "Since we can suppress the rebels, our official position is certainly not small. Mrs. Li can rest assured."
Then he took Zeng Xing and left Beiba Village.
"Mr. Zhou, Li Qian's wife seems to be really attracted to her." Zeng Xing couldn't help but say on the way.
A woman's family is a woman's family. As expected, Li Qi'an was not here, and everything was in chaos.
He also asked whether he was a senior official. Only an ignorant woman would ask such a question.
But this is just right. After all, if we can take over the salt mine without any effort, wouldn't it be what we dream of?
Zhou Guangji was just riding his horse slowly, as if he had been thinking about something. Then he raised his head and said, "If you underestimate Li Qian's wife, you are underestimating the enemy!"
Zeng Xing was startled, "His wife doesn't seem to be anything special. Apart from knowing a little etiquette, she behaves like a country woman."
"I also think she is nothing special, she is a very ordinary woman." Zhou Guangji said.
Zeng Xing couldn't help but smile, "Even Mr. Zhou thinks there's nothing special about her, so how can he underestimate her?"
"But she is Li Qian's wife!" Zhou Guangji said.
Zeng Xing was also startled again.
"The more ordinary we feel, the more extraordinary this woman becomes. Even I think she is too ordinary. This is the biggest problem!" Zhou Guangji said.
"Mr. Zhou, is it possible that you are thinking too much. Maybe she is just that ordinary?" Zeng Xing couldn't help but ask.
"I said that even if Li Qi'an is not here, he should not be careless or despise anyone around him. Mr. Gao's fate is a lesson for others!" Zhou Guangji said.
Speaking of Mr. Gao, Zeng Xing couldn't help but shudder.
"Mr. Zhou, what are you going to do next?"
"Li Qian's various methods are endless. So far, we have seen his crossbowmen, and we also know that he has a mysterious potion that can drive people into madness. He can even turn the kind of lime used in building houses into A murder weapon, I really don’t know how many more unexpected methods he will have.”
Zhou Guangji said and sighed heavily, "It's a pity that Mr. Fan can't wait any longer, so we can only launch the most violent offensive!"
"The most violent offensive?" Zeng Xing was stunned.
"That's right, since you have to take action, of course you have to succeed in one fell swoop!"
