I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

"So, you sold weapons to the Mobei people in order to incite civil strife among them and make them snatch slaves from each other?"

Chen Qingyun had already understood Jiang Zuo's intention at this moment.

Jiang Zuo nodded and said, "That's right. If the empress had half the wisdom of you, Siyue, she wouldn't be so suspicious all the time."

Hearing this, Chen Qingyun wanted to grab Jiang Zuo's ears and punish him for talking about the empress behind her back every day.

"Then you don't have to sell such good weapons, and armor is so important. If the Mobei people get more, our Dayan army will be in trouble."

Chen Qingyun was still quite worried.

"Don't worry, I have already tampered with those armors. They can't withstand a single flintlock musket shot from our Anding Army."

Jiang Zuo smiled faintly.

"I'm not just selling armor, swords, spears, halberds, bows, crossbows, shields, etc. As long as the people of Mobei have the money to buy, I'll buy them. Anyway, these weapons are not used in Anding County, so it would be a waste not to sell them."

"You, Jiang Zuo, are really good at doing business."

The empress complained silently.

Now she is certain that the Yan army armor that was sold was most likely produced by the Six Garrison Army.

No matter what, Chen Qingyun will find out the traitor.

It was definitely not the work of just one or two people to sell so many pieces of armor to Mobei.

This definitely involves a lot of people.

Yan Kang, the governor of the Six Garrisons Army, cannot escape blame.

"Let's go back first. It won't be good if Qianqisi finds out."

Chen Qingyun said this and turned to leave the salt mine.

She now understands Jiang Zuo's purpose. If that's the case, let Jiang Zuo do it.

Chen Qingyun already had the answer in his mind.

However, we still cannot let Jiang Zuo go immediately. We have to lock him up for another day to prevent him from becoming suspicious.

Jiang Zuo and Chen Qingyun returned to the mansion, but outside the mansion, there were already many Thousand Cavalrymen patrolling.

"Come here."

Jiang Zuo was startled and immediately took Chen Qingyun's hand and walked to the end of the alley.

"what are you doing……"

At this moment, Chen Qingyun could only let Jiang Zuo hold her hand, but when she looked down, she found that Jiang Zuo squatted down and even wanted to hug her legs.

"Wait! What are you going to do?"

Chen Qingyun was startled and tried to dodge.

"Climb up."

Jiang Zuo pointed at the wall and said.

"Can't we just go through the main entrance?"

Chen Qingyun was puzzled.

"Fool, the Thousand Cavalry Division is at the main gate. If they find out that we have escaped, His Majesty will punish us."

Jiang Zuo said calmly.

Chen Qingyun frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Jiang Zuo, are you still worried about being punished by me? The crimes you have committed are enough to execute your entire clan a hundred times, and now you are deliberately trying to take advantage of me!"

"Come on, come on, I'll hold you, hurry up, or you'll be discovered by Qianqisi."

Jiang Zuo urged anxiously.

At this time, the person in charge of guarding the Jiang Mansion was Situ Hua, deputy commander of the Thousand Cavalry Division.

In fact, Situ Hua had already discovered Jiang Zuo, but for the sake of His Majesty, he could only pretend to be blind and let Jiang Zuo and the others climb up the wall.

"No, I definitely won't... Hey, wait a minute!"

Just as Chen Qingyun was about to refuse, Jiang Zuo grabbed her legs from behind.

Jiang Zuo's face was pressed tightly against the soft area two inches above Chen Qingyun's legs.

"Jiang Zuo! Put me down first!"

Chen Qingyun clearly felt the touch and was immediately filled with shame and anger.

"Grab the top first and climb up slowly."

Jiang Zuo pressed close to Chen Qingyun's body, holding her legs with his hands.

"Why don't you just let me step on your shoulders?"

Chen Qingyun was immediately unhappy. She stretched out her hand and just touched the wall.

This lustful man, Jiang Zuo, would never let go even if he died.

Jiang Zuo tilted his head with an inexplicable smile on his face: "Siyue, you must not fart now..."

"What are you talking about! Shut up!"

Chen Qingyun's face turned completely red with embarrassment at this moment.

Jiang Zuo has completely crossed the line.

But when he thought about it, it seemed that he had done even more outrageous things.

Chen Qingyun held on to the wall tightly and climbed up, finally escaping from Jiang Zuo's "claws".

"Siyue, be careful and sit down. I'll be right there."

Jiang Zuo then suddenly jumped, grabbed the wall and climbed up.

As soon as he climbed up, he saw Chen Qingyun looking at him with murderous eyes.

"Siyue, what, what happened..."

Jiang Zuo was not panicked at all, instead he had a sly smile on his face.

"Go down!"

Another day passed in an awkward atmosphere.

The next day.

The imperial edict arrived as promised.

Upon hearing that he had regained his freedom, Jiang Zuo didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

After receiving the imperial edict brought by the Thousand Cavalry Division, Jiang Zuo was reluctant to go out and just stayed in the mansion fishing.

Soon, Yang Feng brought the news.

At this moment in Mobei, various tribes, large and small, have begun to attack each other and snatch slaves.

Originally, these tribes were not united, but when they heard that they could make a lot of money by robbing slaves, they began to bully the weak.

This kind of unrest is what the State of Yan wants to see.

But Jiang Zuo understood that this tactic could not last long.

"Sir, we already have more than enough laborers in our mines. The extra laborers have been assigned to other positions."

Yang Feng reported.

Jiang Zuo also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then tell the people of Mobei that they don't want slaves for now. Let's act as a peacemaker and ask them to stop fighting. Since they want supplies, then we can open a trade and exchange goods for goods..."

Among the supplies in Anding County now, salt is the one that Mobei needs most.

Salt in Mobei is extremely scarce, and most of it has to be imported from the State of Yan.

At this time, Jiang Zuo controlled the largest salt mine in Daizhou.

"Let's go and prepare for this now."

Jiang Zuo finally stood up and put away his fishing rod.

He had just finished packing and was about to leave when he met Chen Qingyun again.

Seeing Jiang Zuo so anxious, Chen Qingyun asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Zuo replied: "We are preparing to open a trade market and do business with the people of Mobei."

"Since they've already started fighting, why do we need to open up trade? Isn't this just fattening them up?"

Chen Qingyun was quite confused and couldn't figure out Jiang Zuo's real purpose.

If the people of Mobei are allowed to survive this winter, they will surely make a comeback.

"I definitely won't fatten them up, because I added a little something to the salt I sold earlier."

Jiang Zuo burst into laughter again.

"what?"

Chen Qingyun didn't understand.

"lead."

Jiang Zuo said calmly.

"lead poisoning!"

Chen Qingyun suddenly came to his senses and inexplicably felt a little frightened towards Jiang Zuo.

Adding lead to table salt is obviously a vicious scheme to destroy the entire family!

You, Jiang Zuo, are still so cruel!

If this poisonous salt were really allowed to enter Mobei, wouldn't it kill the people of Mobei silently?

"Since the emperor has asked us to pacify Mobei, I can only come up with this vicious plan. It doesn't matter if I become the butcher."

Jiang Zuo said calmly, but there was actually a hint of helplessness in his words.
