After I became a passerby, I saved the villain's family

Jiang Ci'an was depressed at home for two days.

He had thought it through in the past two days. It was useless to blame himself and regret now because Yi Lan had already left.

The younger sister said that they would meet again in the future, and then he would make up to Yi Lan for his guilt.

After figuring it out, Jiang Ci'an went to the military camp full of fighting spirit again.

Mrs. Jiang was relieved when she saw her son recover.

When An'er asked Li'er that day, she heard it clearly in the yard.

This incident was a huge blow to the second child.

But as a mother, I am still very relieved that he was able to come out of it.

But, alas...

Mrs. Jiang sighed.

Why is it so difficult for her children to get married?

"Mom, why are you sighing again? Be careful not to get old."

Jiang Cijin's annoying voice came.

Mrs. Jiang looked up and saw Jiang Ci Jin and Jiang Ruoli walking in together.

When Mrs. Jiang saw Jiang Ci Jin, she was furious.

"If you keep me less angry for two days, I will live a hundred years!" Mrs. Jiang said unhappily.

Jiang Ci Jin chuckled.

Jiang Ruoli sat down and picked up the ice cream on the low table beside her and started eating.

The weather has been getting hotter recently, and there is no air conditioning here, so she can only eat something cold to dissipate the heat.

"Li'er, eat less cold food. Be careful of stomachache." Mrs. Jiang advised.

Jiang Ruoli nodded and put the spoon into her mouth.

Mrs. Jiang smiled helplessly.

"Mother, I plan to go to Jiangnan in a few days." Jiang Ci Jin said.

From July to September every year, Jiang Ci Jin would go to Jiangnan for some time. After all, his grandfather's property was all there, and he had been helping to manage it.

The reason for going there is to check the accounts and to see the latest popular products so that I can control the business of my own store in time.

Every time he went to Jiangnan, he would stay at his maternal grandparents' house. After all, he was Mr. Luo Ci, who managed the Xie family's business, and others would not be suspicious.

Although it was a bit hard, Jiang Ci Jin enjoyed it because he was really interested in doing business.

However, it is only June this year, and Jiang Ci Jin is about to set off for Jiangnan.

"Why so early this year?" Mrs. Jiang wondered.

"It's like this, mother. A while ago, Manager Qi sent a letter saying that ceramic products are popular among foreign merchants in Jiangnan. Various porcelain plates and ornaments are selling very well, so he asked me to go over and take a look in advance."

Ever since the Crown Prince proposed opening up trading ports in the Jiangnan area two years ago, trade in coastal areas has become increasingly prosperous in the past two years. Not only have merchants made a lot of money, but the imperial treasury has also become much fuller. This is truly a good thing that benefits both the country and the people.

Madam Jiang had also heard Duke Jiang mention this matter. She knew that Jiang Ci Jin had his own plans, so she was about to speak up and agree.

Suddenly, with a "clang", the bowl in Jiang Ruoli's hand fell to the ground.

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Ci Jin were shocked.

"What's wrong, Li'er?" Mrs. Jiang asked with concern.

When Jiang Ruoli heard that Jiang Ci Jin was going to Jiangnan to coordinate the ceramic trade, her heart suddenly tightened.

It was during this trade that the third brother got into trouble...

Jiang Ruoli had a serious expression on her face and stared at Jiang Cijin closely.

"Third brother, don't go."

Jiang Ci Jin was stunned.

Seeing that his younger sister was not joking, Jiang Ci Jin put away the smile in his eyes.

Thinking of what my younger sister said before, about his ending...

"Li'er doesn't want Third Brother to go. Is it because... you're worried that Third Brother might be in danger?"

Mrs. Jiang's eyes were also filled with worry.

Jiang Ruoli nodded seriously, thinking of the excuse she had made to Jiang Ci Yan before.

"I had a dream that day. I dreamed that you had an accident in Jiangnan."

[It's more than dangerous. Brother San, you'll die if you go! ]

[This is not an ordinary ceramic transaction, but a huge conspiracy designed by the third prince. ]

[Because it is not an ordinary ceramic product, it contains private salt! ]

what? !

Jiang Ci Jin and Mrs. Jiang looked at each other in disbelief.

Dacheng’s control over salt is very strict. Not only are there strict restrictions on the sales area, but no one is allowed to sell salt privately.

The Third Prince actually dared to sell illegal salt?!

[The third prince colluded with local officials and gangs, using the ceramic trade as a route to secretly sell a lot of salt and made a lot of money.]

[But during one transaction, their workers mistakenly stuffed a cargo box of smuggled salt into San Ge's cargo ship.]

[When the third brother was checking the goods, he unpacked them and discovered the secret hidden inside.]

[After knowing this, the third brother secretly investigated the matter and secretly interfered with their illegal salt trafficking, but was discovered by the local gangs. After being arrested by them, the third brother was beaten up and finally...]

His tendons in his hands and feet were cut and he was thrown into the river to feed the fish.

Jiang Ci Jin fell heavily on the seat.

Surprisingly, this is the reason...

After hearing Jiang Ruoli's words, Jiang Ci Jin was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat.

Mrs. Jiang looked pale.

Her Jin'er ended up like this.

"Third brother, please don't go, okay?"

Jiang Ruoli looked at Jiang Cijin with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

The third brother grew up with the original body and was the person closest to her other than Madam Jiang. Moreover, he had always been very nice to her since she came through the book.

She couldn't let him take that risk.

But she couldn't tell them the real reason, so she could only beg her third brother not to go.

Mrs. Jiang also looked at Jiang Ci Jin worriedly.

Jiang Ci Jin looked at Jiang Ruoli, and confusion appeared in his eyes for the first time.

Does he really not want to care about this?

Jiang Ci Jin lowered his head slightly.

"Little sister, Third Brother knows about this. Please let Third Brother think about it."

"Third brother..." Jiang Ruoli was full of worry.

"Okay, Li'er, let your third brother think about it carefully. He knows what he is doing." Mrs. Jiang advised.

She knew that Jin'er had been very independent-minded since she was young. Even though she was very worried, she would not make decisions for Jin'er.

Jiang Cijin fell into deep thought...

-

At night, in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Emperor Chengren is reviewing today's memorials.

Although the prince has helped him share a lot of government affairs now, there are still some things that he needs to handle personally.

A secret guard hurried into the hall.

"Your Majesty, this is an emergency!"

Emperor Chengren didn't even raise his head.

"explain."

"A salt workers' strike and uprising occurred at the Yangping County Salt Field in Jiangnan. The Yangping County Magistrate Wei Kangyuan suppressed the strike with force, resulting in the deaths of nearly a hundred salt workers!" said the secret guard.

"What did you say?!"

Emperor Chengren suddenly stood up from his chair.

"The magistrate of Yangping County treated the salt workers harshly, forcing them to dry and make salt day and night. Many salt workers have died from exhaustion."

"The salt workers rose up in resistance and wrote a 'Petition of Ten Thousand People' to report to the court. The county magistrate sent a large number of officers and soldiers to suppress them by force, persecuting many people."

"One of the salt workers, Ding Laosi, took advantage of the chaos and fled Yangping County with a petition. He wanted to go to the capital to report the Yangping County magistrate. He met our people on the way and was rescued."

"After the secret guards over there discovered this, they immediately protected the person and then rushed to deliver the 'Petition of All Citizens' to my subordinates."

After the secret guard finished speaking, he took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and handed it to Eunuch Luo.

Eunuch Luo presented it quickly.

Emperor Chengren opened the cloth, on which was written the numerous crimes committed by Wei Kangyuan, the magistrate of Yangping County, in persecuting the salt workers.

At the bottom are the bloody fingerprints of all the salt workers.

Emperor Chengren slammed his fist on the table.

Wei Kangyuan, you are so brave!

"Announce the Crown Prince to the Yangxin Palace!"
