Chapter 166 The Situation Takes a Turn for the Worse

For ordinary people, this is a very big deal!
After all, the man just now was a bit fierce. He just grabbed a handful of salt and ran away.

And he was the one who shouted the loudest just now.

But, aren’t other people afraid?

You know, when this government office deals with people, in addition to the principal offender, there is also something called an accomplice.

If we also take into account what they just did, then it seems possible to implicate him as an accomplice.

When the people thought that they had only come out to buy salt but ended up becoming accomplices without knowing it, they were simply in tears.

This is totally unjust!
But no matter how unjust it is, it does not stop them from crying out for injustice and begging for mercy.

After all, who isn’t afraid of death?
"Master Yu, we have indeed been deceived. We have no intention of overstepping our authority!"

"Manager Yu, I didn't say a word when that guy was making trouble just now. I hope Manager Yu can see through it!"

"Sir, I just came to buy some salt. Sir, I am not a bandit!"

"Sir, I was wrong. Please let me go. I know nothing!"

"Master Yu, I am loyal to Master Yuan and have great respect for him. I was just worried that someone might ruin his reputation!"

"."

Among the crowd, all the people were acting strange and ugly.

Begging for mercy, trying to please, being nice...

In response to this, Yu Ziqi smiled coldly.

He actually had no expectations or resentment towards these people.

He himself grew up on the streets, so he knows all too well what these people are like.

This group of people don't have that kind of thought at all.

They have only one idea, to live and live as well as possible.

As for the rest, they don't care or pay attention.

Therefore, facing these people, Yu Ziqi was particularly gentle. He bowed and said.

"Everyone, I know that you were just bewitched and fooled."

"For you, everything is fake, only your own little life is real!"

"It just so happens that Master Yuan is a first-class benevolent king, and he won't bother with you guys."

"Then I naturally can't say anything more to you!"

"In that case, then follow the rules I mentioned before and go into the shop to buy salt!"

When these words were spoken, the people were moved to tears.

Because what Yu Ziqi said was so damn honest.

you do not say.

They don't care about people like Censor Feng and Gongzi Yuan at all. They only care about whether they can still live their own lives.

In other words, whether your life can be better.

As for the rest, it doesn’t matter!

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yu!"

"Manager Yu is a good man!"

"Yeah, Gongzi Yuan is a good man. I'm making a profit by getting such cheap refined salt!"

"Hahaha, today I can finally give my kid a good meal!"

"..."

The people are all simple and honest!
Although they are not interested in the things happening in the court, they know who is treating them well.

They will remember this kind of goodness.

And Yu Ziqi watched all this with a smile on his face.

The reason he came here was to help Gongzi Yuan become famous, but that was just a side job.

What he really needs to pay attention to is not these people.

But it’s those assassins on the opposite side who seem to be unable to stay still!
However, even though he didn't come here specifically to make a name for himself, he was happy from the bottom of his heart to see that everyone was increasingly recognizing Gong Ziyuan.

As a person who was promoted from obscurity by Gongzi Yuan, his respect and admiration for Gongzi Yuan was something he had never forgotten in his heart.

He did all the work today willingly.

Of course, just looking at the people in front of him buying refined salt with smiles on their faces, Yu Ziqi felt that his trip was not in vain.

"My fellow villagers, this Yu Ziqi is a liar!"

"He's getting a bargain now!"

"But if he kills all the other salt dealers, won't he be able to raise the price as much as he wants?"

"This is a deliberate trick!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from the crowd.

The others didn't know, but the group of assassins understood that it was the leader who spoke today.

However, the group of assassins also understood why he did so.

Because they can no longer hide.

This price is so damn scary!

The quality is more than ten times better than the original one?
But the price is less than half of what it used to be?
Even if there is no salt and iron monopoly in the future, other salt dealers will probably die.

Salt dealers certainly resorted to various tactics, such as hoarding and buying low and selling high.

But their salt does have a cost after all.

Nowadays, the price of salt from the Royal Salt Shop is lower than the cost of others. What's the point of making a living?
Therefore, he would take the risk even if his identity was exposed.

You know what, when these words were spoken, the people actually hesitated and looked at Yu Ziqi with nervous faces.

Yu Ziqi waved his hand.

"My dear friends, the young master has already said that salt is a necessity for the people's lives and is related to their lives!"

"From now on, the price of the same salt can only go down, not up. The upper limit is today's price!"

Yu Ziqi's words were spoken in a decisive tone, but to the ears of the assassins, they were deafening!
When the people heard this, they were of course extremely happy.

But the group of death warriors were terrified when they heard it.

Is this guy still a human being?

Today's outrageous price is actually the upper limit?

Will the price drop further in the future?

Wouldn’t that make life impossible?

The leader of the death squad now understood everything.

This matter can no longer be resolved peacefully.

If this salt shop continues to operate normally, the noble families will be doomed and will never have the chance to get involved in the salt industry again.

Immediately, he narrowed his eyes, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he shouted loudly.

"Brothers, they are just tricking me and waiting!"

"They just want to take advantage of ordinary people like us!"

"on!"

"Even if we smash their shops, the former salt shops can still make a living!"

As the leader of the assassins waved his arm, the whole crowd became chaotic.

It is certainly not easy for ordinary people to figure out the twists and turns here.

But the people's natural desire for profit and their yearning for order make them not want to join in the commotion at all.

But there are hundreds of prepared warriors in the crowd, and they will not let them go now.

Upon hearing the call from the leader of the death squad, everyone realized that it was time to fight for their lives.

Simply relying on their strong bodies, they responded loudly and rushed into the salt shop with all the people at their disposal.

All the people, without even knowing what was happening, were pushed towards the salt shop in a daze.

The situation is becoming explosive!
