Chapter 247
Zhang Wu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. What happened tonight shocked them too much.Even after the third watch, no one felt sleepy.

Looking at Huo Qiqi again, he didn't take what happened to his heart at all.

This courage, and the wisdom she just showed, are enough to make most of the people present feel ashamed.

Sure enough, people can compare with dead people.

After Li Yuanbai glanced at Huo Qiqi's back, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

He seemed to be swayed by other people's opinions, and he had misunderstood Huo Qiqi before.

Of course, he was also very fortunate that he strongly recommended Huo Qiqi to come to Nanping.Such a talent, although a bit temperamental, is justifiable. It would be a pity if he missed it at the beginning.

Li Yuanbai had even secretly thought about how to lure Huo Qiqi into the Ministry of Industry after returning to Beijing, so that Huo Qiqi could work in the Ministry of Industry honestly.

Huo Qiqi returned to the room, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

On the second day, Prefect Zheng also brought good news.

As Li Yuanbai expected, the gangsters were not greedy enough.They arranged most of the troops to attack the station. After all, the interests of the station are great, and the temptation for them is also great.

On the other hand, for the sake of safety, they also sent more than 20 gangsters to the government office. In the granary over there, there was also grain that had not been distributed in time.

The two sides fought at the same time, also to prevent the defense and Li Yuanbai from taking care of each other, and they took advantage of the chaos to achieve their goals.Both sides, no matter which side succeeds, they will not lose.

After Li Yuanbai's secret guard went out to inquire about the news, the garrison and Zheng Zhifu joined forces to arrange the servants and some guards to wait for the rabbits near the government office, and left some soldiers and horses outside the city to ambush the fish that slipped through the net.Some of the remaining troops were quietly mobilized to guard near the station.

Unexpectedly, the battle at the post station ended very quickly, with few casualties.

The Fuya side also gained a lot.All the bandits in the past were ambushed, and were directly caught by the guards.

When the people in Nanping City learned that the gangsters had the audacity to try to rob everyone of their life-saving food, everyone was excited.Zheng Zhifu and Shou Bing took this opportunity to encourage the people to provide clues to suppress the bandits, trying to catch all the bandits hiding in the deep mountains in one go.

Under this situation, the bandit suppression campaign in Nanping City reached an unprecedented sensation.

Some families are happy and some are sad. Some are happy and some are worried.

Seeing Li Yuanbai's anger, several grain merchants and some aristocratic families panicked.

So, at night, these people secretly met in private.

Three days later, several invitations were sent to the post station.

"I've never been interested in this kind of banquet." Huo Qiqi said with a smile, "The sixth prince should push it for me."

"There is your invitation card." Li Yuanbai said flatly, "Everyone else will go, but you will not go, it will not look good."

"When did the sixth prince ever see that I care about face?" Huo Qiqi raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Even if you don't care about face, you can't lose face for all of us. Everyone in Nanping knows that the imperial court has sent four officials. If you don't go, Huo Qiqi, how will others guess?" Li Yuanbai refused, "And, maybe There will be some interesting things happening at the banquet, don't you want to go and see?"

"There are many interesting things to do." Huo Qiqi was unmoved, "Sixth prince, why don't you let me go back with the imperial physician?"

"No." Li Yuanbai glanced at her and said, "You are from the Ministry of Industry, so what's the point of going back with the imperial physician? What's more, as long as the matter in Nanping is settled, the prince will return to Beijing immediately."

"I don't know what the sixth prince is referring to?" Huo Qiqi was in a daze. She felt that Li Yuanbai was a bit too domineering.

She is just a non-staff member of the Ministry of Industry, and she thinks that what she has done in Nanping has exceeded her scope of responsibility.When he first left the capital, Li Yuanbai also promised her that he would go back within a month at the most, but if he continued like this, let alone returning to the capital in a month, he would just go back to the capital in time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family. .

"The Nanping aristocratic family and the noble gentry have become local snakes. In recent years, although there have been floods in Nanping every year, they have lived a very comfortable life. They have taken away the people's fat and people's anointing, and even some people are gangsters. The prince wants to see how dirty their hands are. How many lives have been lost." Li Yuanbai said sternly.

"If it's a Hongmen Banquet, I won't even go." Huo Qiqi shook his head and said, "The Sixth Prince's martial arts are very strong, but I only know how to be a three-legged cat, so you don't have to trick me."

People who are too straightforward are annoying, Li Yuanbai gave her a stern look.

Huo Qiqi immediately lowered her head, touching her head with one hand while humming, "Oh, my head hurts so much, I really can't go to the banquet."

"When cleaning, Mr. Huo Qi can choose three items that he likes." Li Yuanbai ignored her tricks, but threw out the temptation lightly.

"Three for each family?" Huo Qiqi was startled, and immediately leaned forward and asked.

Li Yuanbai stared at her coldly, "Too greedy will spoil your appetite, and the gain outweighs the loss. Mr. Huo Qi should take it easy."

"Didn't it say that the people who ransacked the house had the privilege of taking one-third of it?" Huo Qiqi asked feebly.

"It's just a rumor." Li Yuanbai said bluntly.

"Success, then you are not allowed to cheat." Huo Qiqi gritted his teeth and stared at him.

Li Yuanbai didn't want to argue with narrow-minded people, "Clean up quickly, don't delay the lunch."

With the temptation of benefits, Huo Qiqi has motivation.There are many good things in Duke Protector's Mansion, but it is said that they have been defeated by the original owner over the years.

Although at the beginning, Huo Qiqi played tricks on others and won some back.But the treasures exported and rewarded by the original owner over the years are really too many.

What Huo Qiqi got back was less than half of the original.

As a new five good young man who loves his family and his family, Huo Qiqi feels that he has a responsibility and must use every opportunity to contribute to the Duke Huguo's Mansion.

Also, everything in ancient times, even a urinal, is an antique in Huo Qiqi's eyes.In the dead of night, as long as she thinks of so many antiques flowing out of Duke Huguo's mansion, she can't wait to hit the wall.

Of course, she was reluctant to give up the opportunity Li Yuanbai gave her.

Isn't it just to have a meal?Well, even if it is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, she will recognize it.

Back in the room, after Huo Qiqi washed and dressed, he and Li Yuanbai got into the carriage and went to Fu's house for a banquet.

The ancestor of the Fu family was an official in the capital, and it is said from a distance that the Fu family once had a concubine.Later, as history changed, the Fu family gradually stopped pursuing official careers, but lived in Nanping. Of course, for the sake of their ancestors' reputation, they all did business in the name of female relatives.

Over the years, the Fu family started their business by relying on grain, tea and silk, and became the number one family in Nanping.

It is said that the Fu family is still in touch with some old acquaintances in the capital.The dinner party was held at Fu's house!
