From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Fang Lingsu shifted her gaze from Fang Qing's hands, which were still buried in the salt, and then casually said:

"It wasn't anything serious. Li Zaotou was found murdered in his own residence."

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing deliberately feigned a look of great surprise.

"Although Li Zao Tou colluded with salt bandits, and the evidence is conclusive, he is still a master at the second level of Body Tempering."

How could he have been so easily killed?

"Could it be that the salt bandits knew Li Zao Tou was going to implicate them, so they sent skilled assassins to kill him beforehand?"

Fang Qing directly brought up all of Li Zaotou's hypothetical enemies.

"However, sir, what's most urgent is that you take a look at this batch of refined salt, which I've spent the whole night making, weighing nearly 100 jin."

I guarantee the quality is exactly the same as what I gave you this morning.

Guard Lin immediately came over to Fang Qing, picked up a handful of salt, and examined it in his palm.

Its quality is exactly the same as the one in the green paper package from this morning.

The next moment, he put that small pinch of salt in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

His eyes lit up immediately!

Turning to Fang Lingsu excitedly, he said:

"Second Miss, it's exactly the same as the refined salt from this morning."

Fang Lingsu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She watched Fang Qing and the others carefully carry in the highly concentrated brine little by little throughout all the early stages of the seafood preparation process.

Normally, this brine would yield about 100 kilograms of salt.

The quality of the salt is extremely low, and it cannot fetch a good price in the market.

Fang Qing is now producing almost the same amount of refined salt using the same high-concentration brine.

The additional cost is the cost of the soy milk that Fang Qing prepared.

For refined salt, whose price can be several times higher, this cost is almost negligible.

With this refined salt, Fang Lingsu believed that her position in the family would be more secure in the future.

As for the open and covert struggles between the main wife and the other wife, the offensive and defensive situations are different.

"Fang Qing, you did a great job."

Fang Qing kept her hands in the salt, refusing to take them out. Her eyes darted around, and she continued:

"Lord Fang, the method of making refined salt is actually not complicated. Right here in the sea salt boiling room, anyone who pays attention can see the clues."

Upon hearing this, Fang Lingsu frowned and turned to look to the side.

The millstone for making soy milk and the bucket for holding soy milk were still placed next to it.

Anyone with a keen eye will realize that the key to making this refined salt is adding soy milk.

Fang Qing immediately added fuel to the fire, saying:

"If these people with ulterior motives disobey your orders and spread the recipe for this refined salt after they leave, or even sell it to intelligence organizations for a fee,

The method for making this refined salt probably has little to do with you, Lord Fang.

Before Fang Qing could finish speaking, three thuds rang out.

Li Laolai, his son Li Meng, and his daughter Li Zaotou's concubine all knelt on the ground almost simultaneously, their faces ashen.

Just now, they were only thinking about catching Fang Qing, who murdered Li Zao Tou, in the act of cooking seafood.

As long as Fang Qing doesn't appear inside the cooking room, or if Fang Qing is injured in the fight with Li Zao Tou,

They could simply stand up and demand that Fang Lingsu uphold justice for them.

They have already sent someone to notify the Six Doors.

Officials will arrive soon, and even if Fang Lingsu wants to protect him, she simply cannot do so.

Their minds were solely focused on avenging Li Zaotou, forgetting that this very place, the Boiling Seafood Room, was the very heart of the Fang family's territory.

For any trespasser, there is only one way out.

At that moment, Li Laolai took the lead and kept kowtowing to Fang Lingsu:

"Lord Fang, we didn't see anything. Even if we did, we will keep quiet and will absolutely not affect the Fang family's business."

Li Meng and Li Zaotou's concubines were also kowtowing frantically at this moment.

The next moment, Fang Qing's voice, like a death knell, came from above them:

"Lord Fang, in this world, walls always have ears, and you can never truly know what's in someone's heart."

"As long as they are given enough benefits, there is no secret that cannot be leaked."

After a pause, Fang Qing continued:

"There are only one type of person in this world who will keep their mouth shut."

With a bang, both Li Laolai and his two children were stunned into silence upon hearing Fang Qing's last words.

Fang Lingsu frowned slightly.

He then turned his head and glanced at the soybean grinding stone next to him, which had not yet been cleaned up.

There were still some soybeans left in the millstone, which were placed in the feeding hole.

The bucket of soy milk on the ground was half full.

Fang Lingsu knew, even a fool could tell, what the key step in making this refined salt required.

The next moment, Fang Lingsu's gaze turned cold, and she waved her jade hand.

Three bloody holes, each the size of a soybean, appeared simultaneously on the foreheads of Li Laolai and his two children.

At this moment, Li Laolai and his two children still maintained a shocked expression on their faces, and a faint hint of anger flashed in their eyes as they looked at Fang Qing.

At this moment, his expression had already frozen.

The next moment, with a thud, the three of them almost simultaneously collapsed to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Fang Qing's pupils contracted.

Both Li Laolai and Li Meng were martial artists who had undergone body tempering, yet they were both wiped out by Fang Lingsu in one fell swoop.

This level of cultivation is unfathomable!

Thinking of this, Fang Qing behaved even more obediently!

Fang Qing naturally understood the principle of eliminating the root of the problem.

Li Laolai and Li Meng have a long history of committing numerous evil deeds.

Li Laolai's daughter, believing her father's slander, also whispered in Li Zaotou's ear.

They wanted to plant smuggled salt in his home, which would have resulted in the Fang family and Uncle Yang's family being implicated and their entire extended family being executed.

Under such circumstances, Fang Qing naturally had to take down Li Laolai in one fell swoop, with no need to leave them any survivors.

In order to preserve the recipe for refined salt, Fang Lingsu would naturally ruthlessly kill Li Laolai and his ilk.

After casually killing Li Laolai and his two companions, Fang Lingsu tossed out a porcelain bottle in the next instant.

"This is top-quality wound medicine; it will allow your wound to begin to heal in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

Stop hiding it, quickly treat your wounds, the people from the Six Doors should be here soon.

Fang Lingsu turned and left immediately, saying to the guard Lin following behind her:

"Dispose of these three people cleanly, leaving no trace, so that the Six Doors don't discover anything amiss."

Hearing Fang Lingsu's words, Fang Qing finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

After this incident, he knew that he had completely boarded Fang Lingsu's ship.

The two of them are now in the same boat.

The next moment, Fang Qing grimaced as he pulled his hand out of the salt.

The wound on the surface of his fist was surrounded by fine salt.

The salt and blood mixed together, forming a layer of salt and blood crust on the surface.

Lin, the guard, lifted the bodies of Li Laolai and the other two as if they were chickens.

He didn't leave immediately, but turned and smiled in Fang Qing's direction:

"Young Master Fang, after applying the wound medicine, it's best not to get it wet. The wound should heal in about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"I have a few brothers with the Six Doors, so there won't be any problems later. Don't worry!"
