But the prefect had just taken office, and Lin Ruhai had invested a large sum of money.

I just don't believe that wolves are numb.

All the bailiffs and constables in Yangzhou were dispatched.

Now that's great. I guess he has to spend all the money he got from Lin Ruhai before it even warms up.

Suddenly, Li Kui, who was shaking his head and sighing, suddenly thought of something.

He quickly turned his head and looked at Master Qian and said,

"Master Qian, hurry! Prepare writing materials for me! I need to submit a memorial to the capital!"

As he said this, he stood up and bowed respectfully towards the north.

"We should report this bandit problem to the emperor and request that the imperial court send a large army to suppress it!"

Upon hearing this, Master Qian's expression changed drastically. He hurried forward and was about to speak when he looked outside the door.

After finding that there was no one there, he quickly walked to the front of the hall, looked around, and quickly closed the door.

Master Qian's actions stunned Li Kui.

Soon, Master Qian came to Li Kui's side quickly and said solemnly in a low voice,

"Master, this is absolutely unacceptable!"

Li Kui frowned, but pretended to be puzzled and asked,

"Oh? But why?"

Master Qian looked around again and said cautiously,

"Your Excellency, you don't know that this group of people is extremely ferocious and has always been vindictive!"

Having said that, I paused.

Then he said cryptically,

"Besides, Qingfeng Village also has a lot of business dealings, uh..."

"Well, I'm afraid..."

After saying that, he glanced at Li Kui, and seeing that he was not angry, he continued,

"It's just a trivial bandit problem. Bringing it to the capital is a bit of an overreaction. It will only make the officials in the court feel that Yangzhou is in turmoil..."

Having said this, Master Qian stopped talking.

Li Kui was shocked when he heard this and slapped his forehead with a look of regret.

"Oh my! I'm sorry for being so rude!"

Looking at Master Qian,

"Thanks to Master Qian's advice, otherwise, I would have almost become a sinner in the entire Yangzhou officialdom!"

Master Qian waved his hands repeatedly and said modestly,

"Your Excellency, you are too kind. You are busy with many things every day, so it is inevitable that you may fall short. I will give you advice. This is my duty!"

"Now that they have the audacity to attack the government, I believe the officials and gentry in the city will not want such a bandit to run rampant!"

"We still need to discuss this with everyone carefully!"

Li Kui slapped his forehead repeatedly when he heard this.

"It was my negligence!"

After saying this, he suddenly seemed a lot more relaxed and asked Master Qian to sit down.

He asked, "In Master Qian's opinion, what do you think is the right thing to do?"

Master Qian stroked his goatee and said,

"I am only a humble servant. Your Excellency may wish to summon all the officials and gentry of Yangzhou to discuss this matter!"

"This will further demonstrate your reputation for caring about the country and the people, and listening to their voices!"

Li Kui nodded with satisfaction.

"Master Qian's words make sense!"

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurriedly asked,

"By the way, where is Lord Lin? Has he returned?"

Master Qian was slightly stunned when he heard this.

"This……"

Seeing Master Qian's expression, Li Kui couldn't guess what had happened.

He slapped his thigh anxiously.

"Alas, at this point, what else does Master Qian need to hide from me?"

Master Qian said he dared not,

But he had no choice but to bite the bullet and bow his hands and said,

"Lin, Master Lin, he, he was also invited to go up the mountain by a swarm of bees."

"Ok?"

Li Kui put his hand on his chest.

"Is Lord Lin injured? Also, what do we have to say to get him released?"

"Master Lin should be fine!"

Master Qian shook his head helplessly.

"However, Yiwofeng hasn't reported anything about Lord Lin yet..."

"what?"

Li Kui stood up in shock when he heard this.

With a sound of "Uh",

His eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Master Qian quickly supported Li Kui.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?"

"You have to hold on, please hold on!"

He quickly helped Li Kui sit down and anxiously shouted to the door,

"Someone, come quickly! Please ask Mr. Zhang to come over."
