The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Zhao Dagou laughed and nodded with satisfaction.

"That makes a lot of sense!"

Then he shouted to the Qingfeng Village men and salt merchants who were still busy outside the shed,

"Alright! That's all for today! If you haven't registered yet, come back tomorrow!"

As soon as Zhao Dagou finished speaking, the two clerks in Qingfeng Village who were still registering immediately put down their pens and closed the book without hesitation, finishing in one go.

A salt merchant who was halfway through registering hurriedly clasped his fists and said in a flattering tone,

"Your Majesty, I have just registered. How about you complete my registration?"

Zhao Dagou glared with his bell-like eyes and cursed.

"You black-hearted profiteers, you normally exploit the salt merchants and the people, working day and night, and that's fine, but now you dare to exploit us in Qingfeng Village right in front of me?"

"Someone come! Give me..."

Seeing this, Liu Quan hurried forward anxiously and hugged Zhao Dagou's hand.

"Master! No! No, Master!"

"Have you forgotten the instructions and orders given by the Bee Master when you came down the mountain?"

Hearing this, Zhao Dagou snorted coldly and glanced at the salt merchant who was already trembling with fear.

"Humph! You're lucky, you bastard!"

"If you dare to oppress the people and squeeze their working hours again, I'll be the first to smash your head in!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I admit my mistake! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

The salt merchant was already frightened out of his wits.

The bandits in Qingfeng Village are not like those government officials. No matter how strict the laws are, as long as there is enough money, someone will show mercy.

If I say it, I will definitely do it!

As for some other dissatisfied salt merchants, they dared not to do this again after hearing this. They retreated backwards without leaving a trace as if avoiding the plague.

Zhao Dagou spat in disdain.

"Pooh!"

Then he pointed at the salt merchant and said to the people around him,

"Sell me double his tickets!"

"If you dare to owe us Qingfeng Village a penny, I'll see you at the end of the month!"

Then he ignored the salt merchant who was already frightened out of his wits and waved his hand.

"go!"

After that, he strode away.

The elite members of the Wulong Hall No. 20 or 30 quickly moved forward and moved closer to the shed.

Those who move tables move tables, those who dismantle sheds dismantle sheds, those who take chairs take chairs,

Even Zhao Dagou's basin, which still contained three and a half large pork elbows, was held in the arms of an elite soldier.

In just three or five breaths, the Qingfengzhai office, which was originally covered with a shed, instantly turned into an empty street.

Then they lined up neatly and trotted to catch up with Zhao Dagou.

Wherever he passed, salt merchants and their servants would panic and make way for him.

These salt merchants are generally quite knowledgeable and have dealt with government officials and soldiers a lot.

But today, seeing the well-trained and disciplined elite soldiers of Qingfeng Village, everyone felt nothing but endless shock and horror, as well as boundless panic.

……

Lin House.

Lin Ruhai returned to his mansion.

Xue's mother brought Xue Pan and Xue Baochai to say goodbye.

Lin Ruhai looked at Xue Pan, whose face was pale and exhausted, and it was obvious that he was someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activities.

There were bruises on his face, and he shook his head inwardly.

After all, the Xue family had a Ziwei Sheren among their ancestors, so how come their descendants became like this?

But he didn't say anything, instead he looked at Xue's mother and said,

"Sister-in-law, I've been busy with official duties these days. Is there anything I haven't been able to do for you?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back? Why don't you stay in Yangzhou for a few more days?"

Mother Xue smiled awkwardly when she heard this, then quickly shook her head and said,

"Lord Lin, you are too kind! You have been working so hard for the court, and I am just bothering you by coming here for no reason!"

"Also, it's time to go back and sort out the accounts of various places in Jinling."

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly and stroked his beard.

Looking at Xue Pan beside him, he smiled and said,

"This must be your son Wenlong, right?"

Xue Pan hurriedly bowed to Lin Ruhai.

"Xue Pan greets Uncle Lin!"

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly.

"Hmm! As expected..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Ruhai was slightly stunned and didn't know what words to use.

As for his appearance, he was beaten into this state.

But when it comes to talent, martial arts, character and the like, these words have nothing to do with Xue Pan at all.

If he told this to others, the Xue family's younger sister-in-law would be very suspicious when she got home, and would think that he was mocking Xue Pan.

After thinking about it, Lin Ruhai racked his brains and forced a smile.

"Haha, yeah! Wenlong is indeed a good boy!"

Xue's mother bowed in shame.

"I would also like to thank Master Lin for taking care of you. Now that Pan'er has returned, our family can no longer disturb your peace in the mansion."

"From now on, if Lord Lin comes to Jinling, my Xue family will open the gates to welcome him!"

As she spoke, Xue's mother winked at Xue Pan who was standing beside her.

Xue Pan quickly took a brocade box from Zhang Bo behind him, and respectfully handed it to Lin Ruhai with both hands.

"My nephew is being naughty. I'm sorry to trouble you, uncle, by coming to Yangzhou!"

"My nephew will be returning to Jinling tomorrow, and I've specially requested that you bring me here to meet my uncle. This is just a small token of my appreciation, not a token of my respect!"

"I hope my uncle will accept it for the sake of my nephew's filial piety!"

Lin Ruhai pinched his beard and thought for a while, then nodded with a smile.

"Okay! Since Wenlong is so kind, I can't refuse!"

Having said that, he walked forward without any pretense, took the box, and handed it to Uncle Lin behind him.

He hurriedly helped Xue Pan, who was still bowing, to his feet and asked gently,

"Wenlong, could you tell me about what you've been going through these days?"

"This..." Xue Pan was slightly stunned and turned to look at Xue's mother.

Xue's mother frowned and said,

"Why are you looking at me? Your uncle is asking you, just tell him the truth!"
