Although I don’t know what price Wang Ziteng paid or what he did in the original novel to become the governor of the Beijing camp accepted by the four kings and eight dukes.

But considering the current situation, Qingfeng Li understood that Wang Ziteng was planning to use himself as a token of his loyalty to the emperor.

Moreover, he was fighting to rescue his nephew, and even the public couldn't say anything.

If Wang Ziteng wants to perform well and be valued in Beijing, he will definitely make big moves in Nanjing, which may even speed up the court's dispatch of troops.

With this thought, Qingfeng Li also understood the implicit suggestion in Lin Ruhai's words. This was a secret reminder for him to make preparations early.

He collected his thoughts and looked at Lin Ruhai's dark face again. The more he looked at it, the happier he felt.

At the same time, I was a little speechless. This father-in-law, Lao Deng, is really something. If he has something to say, he doesn't just say it directly, but has to go around in such a big circle.

Riddler, yuck!

Fortunately, he has read A Dream of Red Mansions quite a lot these days, otherwise people who don’t understand these things would just think that Lin Ruhai is complaining.

After thinking for a while, he looked at Lin Ruhai and smiled.

"Wang Ziteng will be given important positions by the court. These are all court secrets. Is this how your uncle told your nephew?"

Seeing that Li Qingfeng had understood his hint, Lin Ruhai felt relieved for some reason and nodded secretly.

He stroked his beard and snorted.

"Humph! It won't be long before everyone in Jiangnan knows about this matter. It's no longer a secret."

Qingfeng Li stood up and bowed to Lin Ruhai.

"Thank you for your guidance, uncle. Now I know what to do!"

Seeing that Li Qingfeng was a smart man, Lin Ruhai didn't say much and nodded slightly.

"In that case, I will go back first."

Li Qingfeng was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Lin Ruhai came all the way here just to say these two sentences.

He hurriedly greeted,

"Won't you have a light meal, uncle?"

As if he had seen through Qingfeng Li's doubts, Lin Ruhai was secretly pleased with himself, but he still waved his hand.

"No need. The government office is very busy. I only put aside my work and hurried here when I learned that you were taking the eldest son of the Xue family to do some writing."

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly and bowed,

"Uncle, don't worry. I'll send someone to bring Mr. Xue back to the mountain."

"you……"

Lin Ruhai thought that after Li Qingfeng understood his intentions, he would give him some face and let Xue Pan go.

But I didn't expect to hear such a sentence.

For a moment, he was so angry that he pointed at Qingfeng Li and didn't know what to say.

Suddenly he flicked his sleeves and said this.

"Hmph! There is no way to make a fool of yourself!"

He walked out of the gathering hall angrily.

Halfway through the walk, he turned around and glared at Qingfeng Li.

"Also, from now on, you are not allowed to enter the Lin Mansion without my permission! Otherwise, don't blame me for taking credit for suppressing the bandits!"

Li Qingfeng smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that he had been to Lin's house yesterday and he was known to him.

As for Lin Ruhai's threat, Qingfeng Li really didn't take it seriously.

It’s just that I don’t want to put Lin Daiyu in a dilemma.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Ruhai stormed out of the gathering hall.

Li Qingfeng shook his head helplessly and sighed,

"Ah! Father-in-law Lao Deng still has a bad temper!"

"However, we still need to speed up the production of the Type 38 rifles. Time is running out for Qingfeng Village!"

……

the next day.

The temporary Qingfengzhai office in Yangzhou City,

Xue Pan, who was still busy copying documents, suddenly shouted.

"Little Panzi!"

Xue Pan dropped his brush instantly as if by reflex, stood up, turned around and walked quickly forward with a flattering smile on his face.

"Master Dog, what's wrong? Just tell me if you need anything!"

Zhao Dagou, who was leaning on a chair with his feet on the table, spat out a mouthful of phlegm and smacked his lips.

Xue Pan's face trembled and his eyes were full of disgust, but he still ignored it and looked at Zhao Dagou with a smile.

Zhao Dagou raised his sleeve and touched his mouth, then glanced at Xue Pan and said,

"Your eyes are wandering, are you trying to run away?"

Xue Pan's expression changed instantly and he was shocked.

What? Did this fierce dog master discover his plan?

Although Xue Pan had been physically intimidated by Zhao Dagou and was forced to serve the bandits as a clerk.

But he was always planning to escape. After all, dealing with a bunch of old men all day long was no match for the girls along the Qinhuai River in Nanjing.

Just for this reason, Xue Pan had to find a way to escape back.

After observing for a whole day yesterday, he had found an opportunity to escape.

That is, wait until noon every day, when the people of Qingfeng Village will buy food from the city and bring it back. While eating, they will temporarily relax their guard, and that is the opportunity for Xue Pan to escape.

Hearing what Zhao Dagou said, he hurriedly shook his head in fear.

"Master Dog, you misunderstood. Master Dog, please forgive me. I have long been intimidated by your majestic figure and endless majesty!"

"I no longer have any thoughts of running away. I am truly loyal. I hope Lord Dog will understand!"

Zhao Dagou grinned,

"That's true. I bet you wouldn't dare! But you, kid, are you worthy enough to say that? That's my loyalty to our Peak Master Qingfeng Village. How can it be your turn?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Lord Dog is right, I'm not worthy!"

Xue Pan responded hurriedly and fearfully.

He felt slightly relieved in his heart and carefully raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Then I heard Zhao Dagou say,

"It's almost dinner time. You and Liu Quan'er should go to the restaurant where we ordered dinner. What's going on? The food hasn't been prepared yet?"

"Ah? I, I'll go?"

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment.

Although Liu Quan was from Qingfeng Village, he looked like a weak scholar and probably wasn't good at fighting.

If I go out with him, wouldn't that be...

But soon, Xue Pan gave up this idea.

No, absolutely not! Maybe Zhao Dagou was just testing me.

Thinking about how to refuse and then wait for the right opportunity.

Then I heard Zhao Dagou say angrily,

"what?"

"I asked you to do something, you son of a bitch, and you dare to refuse and delay?"
