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

How could the imperial court take such great care of mere bandits?

One is the first-rank Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp, and the other is the second-rank commander-in-chief of Nanjing. All ten people understand how to choose between the two.

Suddenly, a strong psychological gap surged in Wang Ziteng's heart.

Dai Quan frowned slightly when he saw Wang Ziteng was stunned.

However, this person was concerned about the emperor's plan, so he reminded him,

"Master Wang, it's time to receive the order!"

Wang Ziteng came back to his senses, his expression became serious, and he kowtowed respectfully.

"My lord, thank you for your kindness!"

He raised his hands and respectfully took the imperial edict from Dai Quan.

After standing up, Wang Ziteng placed the imperial edict on the incense table, walked to Dai Quan and bowed.

"Thanks to the Minister for delivering the order, I have made a special trip!"

As he spoke, a silver note with a face value of two thousand one hundred taels slipped silently into Dai Quan's sleeve.

Dai Quan put his hand in his sleeve and touched it lightly, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

He put the banknotes into his sleeve without leaving any trace, and said to Wang Ziteng with a smile,

"Oh! Lord Wang, you're too polite! I was just sitting around in the palace with nothing to do, so I came here!"

His long experience allowed him to instantly understand the denomination of the silver note.

When he looked at Wang Ziteng again, the smile on his face was much more friendly.

Wang Ziteng approached Dai Quan slightly, bowed, clasped his fists, and asked in a low voice,

"Eunuch, I don't know..."

Dai Quan naturally understood what Wang Ziteng meant. Without waiting for anyone to come out, he raised his hand to stop Wang Ziteng from saying anything else.

Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and lowered his voice.

"Sir Wang, suppressing the bandits in Yangzhou is a matter of great importance. If we can succeed, it will be a great achievement!"

As he said this, he patted Wang Ziteng's shoulder mysteriously.

"Sir Wang, this is all I have to say. Please don't let His Majesty down!"

Seeing that Wang Ziteng began to think deeply, he smiled and bowed to Wang Ziteng.

"Sir Wang, I still have work to do at the palace, so I'll take my leave now."

Wang Ziteng quickly came to his senses and bowed to Dai Quan.

"I'll send the interior minister!"

"Master Wang, please stay!"

Dai Quan returned the greeting with a smile, then left with his entourage.

Although Dai Quan asked to stay, Wang Ziteng still respectfully escorted Dai Quan and his group out of the mansion.

Until the figures of Dai Quan and others completely disappeared around the corner of the street, Wang Ziteng's nephew Wang Ren came up to Wang Ziteng with an excited look on his face.

"uncle……"

Before he could finish his words, Wang Ziteng raised his hand to interrupt Wang Xin, narrowing his eyes and looking in the direction where Dai Quan left, his expression becoming solemn.

"Let's talk in my study!"

After Wang Ziteng returned to his study, he immediately ordered someone to go out and inquire about information related to the bandit suppression in Yangzhou.

Before the inquisitors came back,

Immediately another servant came to report that Marquis Zhongjing Shi Ding and Marquis Baoling Shi Nai had arrived.

Wang Ziteng was confused, but he understood in an instant.

Among the four kings and eight dukes, the two Shi brothers did not have a very good reputation.

But he is also a guy who will not do anything without profit.

Now that he had just received the imperial edict, these two brothers came uninvited.

Although the current situation in Yangzhou is still unclear, Wang Ziteng has vaguely guessed that it must be related to the Yangzhou bandit suppression.

He ordered someone to invite the two brothers of the Shi family to the reception room.

The host and the guests had just sat down when a servant came to report that Niu Ben, the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, and Shi Lei, the son of the Duke of Shanguo, had arrived.

Wang Ziteng quickly apologized to the two Shi brothers and went to greet them.

Then, the descendants of the four kings and eight dukes, including Duke Li, Duke Qi, Duke Zhi, and Duke Xiu, as well as many marquises and earls among the nobles, all came with gifts.

Wang Ziteng was both surprised and delighted.

Who would have thought that a mere banditry in Yangzhou, a minor illness like scabies, could attract so many descendants of the four kings and eight dukes to come.

Even though he didn't know the situation in Yangzhou, Wang Ziteng already understood the seriousness of the Yangzhou bandit suppression campaign.
