I used the space to empty the pirates' private vault.

At the Jiang residence, the house burned for a day and a night and was finally captured and put out.

Rumors were flying everywhere in Haicheng. No one knew how the Haicheng prefect's house caught fire, and no one saw Madam Jiang and others escape from the house.

People speculated wildly in private.

"Hey, I don't know what happened to the Jiang Mansion. Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

"That's right. I heard that no one in the house escaped. I don't know if they were burned to death in the fire or escaped through another door."

"I think the fire in Jiang Mansion was probably set by the enemies of Governor Jiang. It is rumored that Governor Jiang often had dealings with pirates and smuggled salt, raising the price of salt in our Donglin Country, making it impossible for ordinary people like us to buy salt or eat it, even coarse salt... For this, people who know these things will definitely hate Governor Jiang to death, so it is not surprising that someone secretly set fire to Jiang Mansion."

"Then you may not know that Magistrate Jiang and the second young lady Jiang are not at home. A few days ago, Magistrate Jiang and his second daughter took the selected beauties from Haicheng this year to the imperial city. Now, only Madam Jiang and the third young lady should be at the Jiang Mansion. Even the young master of the Jiang Mansion has gone to study in other places. After such a big fire, Magistrate Jiang didn't die, but Madam Jiang and the others were probably burned to death."

"No, no, I do know something. The day before yesterday, I happened to pass by the backyard gate of the Jiang Mansion, and I saw a few servants running out in panic. From time to time, women's screams could be heard. It was creepy to hear. Maybe Madam Jiang and the others were silenced, and then the killer deliberately set the fire to destroy the bodies..."

"But I still think that this fire was brought to the Jiang Mansion by the unlucky eldest daughter of the Jiang Mansion..."

Because of the fire in Jiang Mansion, the whole city of Haicheng became lively, and all kinds of rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys.

At this time, a man in black clothes, a thin veil, and a head full of thin braids, heard the rumor about the fire in Jiang Mansion, and hurried to the stone cave in the bamboo forest on the back mountain of Jiang Mansion. He opened the switch of the stone door, walked into the cave, and looked towards the middle of the pool. There was nothing there.

The mechanism he designed in the middle of the pond has sunk into the water, which means that the divine butterfly flower he transplanted here has been dug up by someone.

Who dug up his magic butterfly flower?

He traveled to countless places and searched for many years before he found this magical butterfly flower.

But when he dug it up that year, the magic butterfly flower had not yet matured, so he could not take it back to save people. He had to ask Ruan to find a more secluded place to plant the magic butterfly flower, and Ruan found this cave for him.

At that time, he also felt that it was safest to transplant the Magic Butterfly Flower in this stone cave, because there was a heavy stone door with a mechanism at the entrance of the cave. If he set up another mechanism in the middle of the pool in the cave and planted his Magic Butterfly Flower, it would be the safest thing with multiple protections.

So, he planted the magic butterfly flower here with peace of mind. After a few years, when the magic butterfly flower grew mature, he also made a lot of wealth by becoming a pirate in the Haicheng area. At the same time, he also brought the best quality fine salt from Haicheng to his country to sell.

His country is landlocked, without sea areas, and not rich in salt. The fine salt and coarse salt they usually eat are sold to them from the Donglin Country at a very high price. Now he has become a pirate and occupied several high-quality salt fields. Every month he secretly transports the salt from the high-quality salt fields back to his country to sell. It does not require any cost and is sold cheaply, so that the people in their country can afford fine salt.

However, everything he did was about to go to waste. The magic butterfly flower he used to save people was dug up, and his pirate brothers were almost wiped out by a mysterious force. Only a few scattered brothers were left. If he wanted to continue transporting the fine salt from Haicheng back to his country to sell, he had to think of a new plan.

After Ji Feng discovered that his magical butterfly flower had been stolen, he quietly came to the Jiang Mansion which had been burned. He walked around the Jiang Mansion and saw only a dark ruin. Not even a corpse could be seen. He didn't know where the Ruan mother and daughter were now, or whether they were dead or alive.

What kind of enemy had the Jiang family offended that would cause them to attack so cruelly? However, this had nothing to do with him. Ruan Jinyi was just a pawn of hers, and her brother Ruan Bolin's Jinsha Island Salt Field was her target.

He had to find a way to meet Ruan Bolin as soon as possible.

But during the past few days on the island, he discovered that there was a mysterious force guarding the coastal area of ​​Haicheng, waiting for him to be caught. Today, he dressed up as a fisherman who had just returned from fishing at sea before going ashore. But after going ashore, he found that those guarding the shore had already retreated.

At that time, he heard the rumor that the Jiang Mansion was on fire and no one in the Jiang Mansion escaped. However, he was not concerned about this, so he hurried to the bamboo forest behind the Jiang Mansion to check, but found that his Divine Butterfly Flower had been stolen without his knowledge.

Thinking of this, he became so angry that his teeth itched, and he clenched his fists tightly, wanting to beat someone up.

If he ever caught the person who stole his Divine Butterfly Flower, he would make sure he (she) died miserably.

After seeing the tragic scene after the fire at Jiang Mansion, Ji Feng quietly left.

An hour later, he appeared at the salt field on Jinsha Island again.

This Jinsha Island is not far from Haicheng, and the fine salt produced here is one of the best salt fields in Donglin Kingdom.

Currently, Jiang Qinian has been handed over to the management of his wife’s half-brother Ruan Bolin.

Ruan Bolin was a businessman, and an extremely cunning one at that. He took advantage of the convenience of his brother-in-law letting him manage the Jinsha Salt Field and made a lot of wealth by selling private salt. Jiang Qinian probably had no idea how much money he had embezzled.

When Ji Feng arrived at Jinsha Island, he asked to see Ruan Bolin, but Ruan Bolin didn't want to see him.

Because he knew that the pirate gang led by Ji Feng had been wiped out, and Ji Feng must have escaped by luck.

Right now, there are many eyes watching his Jinsha Island Salt Field, both overtly and covertly. He should be more honest recently and must not let the people above find out that he is secretly selling salt to other countries.

But Ji Feng was too short-sighted to come to him at the height of the storm.

Wouldn't this put Ruan Bolin in danger?

So, without thinking twice, he asked the servant to reject Ji Feng and asked someone to persuade him to go back.

But this Ji Feng actually forced his way into his house, and there was a woman lying under him.

Ji Feng walked in and took a look at the messy scene on the bed. The burly Ruan Bolin and a pretty young lady were about to do something.

He joked, "Boss Ruan, you are living a very comfortable life. I wonder if you have heard about the fire at Jiang's house. It is said that your good sister and niece did not escape..."

Ruan Bolin winked at the woman, and she tactfully withdrew. He quickly put on his clothes and sat down.

Then he replied: "Oh, so the Third In Command came here for this matter. I heard about my sister's matter a long time ago and sent people to check on the Jiang residence, but the fire has turned the Jiang residence into a ruin. My sister and niece probably didn't survive. I have written a letter and asked someone to send it to the imperial city to inform my brother-in-law. The Third In Command doesn't need to worry about this matter." Ruan Bolin replied.

Then, Ruan Bolin asked again: "Since the Third Master has come to my room, let's talk."

"I wonder if the Third Master wants to have an affair with Ruan again this time..."

Ruan Bolin deliberately didn't finish the rest of the words, letting him continue.
