Also known as "Jianghuai Ember"
On the day Pei Zhaoheng's engagement was annulled, his mother committed suicide with a bowl of salt tea mixed with arsenic.
Mrs. Chen held up the forged salt deed and sneered: "Your Pei family's salt will belong to my daughter-in-law from now on."
She burned the dowry, melted the gold hairpin, and dug out half a bloody salt key from the fingernails of her mother's body——
Behind the secret door of Jianghuai's Twelve Salt Barns, three hundred widows of salt women who "died violently" stand with shovels:
"Miss Zhaoheng, your mother gave you seven years of life to gain power. It's time to settle the matter."

Xie Heng is the most difficult opponent.
This dandy prince visited brothels during the day to check the salt tax, and at night pretended to be a barbarian merchant and robbed an official ship.
He held the family tree I burned and chuckled: "Boss Pei doesn't even want his ancestors, why not join me to thank the family tree?"
Later, on the night when I burned down the Ancestral Temple, he knelt in the salt ashes and coughed up blood: "Zhao Heng, can the Xie family's genealogy... Be changed to your last name?"

The world calls me Si Chen and laughs at me for recruiting an actor.
Little did they know that I set the price of salt in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Tibetan cavalry were forced back three hundred miles by our salt boat fleet.
That day, the "Bone Salt Edict" appeared again at the head of Chang'an City. The emperor pointed at my Ten Thousand Salt Flags and sighed:
"Pei Zhaoheng, you have made all the men in the dynasty a joke."
