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

Aunt Hua took two letters and handed them to Qingfeng Li.

"Peak Master, two letters have been sent back from the mountain. One is from Li Kui, the prefect of Yangzhou, and the other is from Mr. Lin of the Lin Mansion."

"Li Kui?"

Qingfeng Li smiled when he heard this, finding it interesting.

Then he took Li Kui's letter in his hand and gave the other letter from Lin Ruhai directly to Aunt Hua.

"Burn it!"

Aunt Hua subconsciously took the letter, was slightly stunned when she heard the words, and looked up at Qingfeng Li in surprise.

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly, his expression calm.

"You heard that right!"

"My father-in-law has been riding on the wall for too long and doesn't know how to get down. This letter is either persuading this peak master to surrender to the court or flirting. Don't read it."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua sighed softly and nodded slightly.

It is really unfair to the Peak Master and Miss Lin that he has a father-in-law like Lin Ruhai!

Then he turned around and walked to a candle nearby, placed it on the flame and lit it.

Only then did Li Qingfeng open Li Kui's letter.

Of course, this letter was not written to him by Li Kui.

Looking at the first paragraph, it was written to the prefect of Jinling.

This made Qingfeng Li look strange.

His plan was to use Yangzhou as bait to lure all of Nanjing's 100,000 guards out of the city and annihilate them, then take Nanjing as his base camp and follow the path of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, Qingfeng Li vaguely remembered that Lin Daiyu's teacher, Jia Yucun, was now sailing north to the Rongguo Mansion to seek an official position.

But I don’t know if by then the position of Jinling prefect, which Jia Yucun had to fawn on and use favors to get, would become the territory of Qingfengzhai before he even took office.

I wonder what Jia Yucun’s expression was when he learned about this?

Shaking his head, Qingfeng Li's expression turned serious.

I don't know what method Li Kui used.

It was a really good trick to be able to send the letter out from the Yangzhou prefectural government office which was heavily guarded by Qingfeng Village!

But soon, Qingfeng Li became indifferent.

Directly tell Aunt Hua,

"Send a new group of people to the prefectural yamen to replace the current ones. After they return, you can screen them."

"Also, dig deeper into Li Kui. He's a corrupt official. If we torture him properly, he'll definitely spill the beans."

Then he continued to read the letter.

Aunt Hua bowed slightly.

"Yes, Peak Master!"

After reading the letter, Qingfeng Li smiled contemptuously.

"Ugliness brings trouble!"

In this letter, Li Kui complained bitterly to the Jinling prefect about the "crimes" of Qingfeng Village.

Please ask the Jinling prefect to petition the court on your behalf, stating that the initial memorial stating that Yangzhou was "safe and sound" was forced by Qingfeng Village.

That's why Qingfeng Li laughed.

I don't know how such a fool became the prefect. He only knows how to make money.

Previously, nearly one million taels of property were confiscated from the fat man's back office alone.

This was only a few months after the fat man arrived in Yangzhou.

Furthermore, Emperor Xinglong had already issued an order to suppress the bandits, and Li Kui's memorial helped Qingfeng Village delay its rapid expansion for a few days.

Emperor Xinglong probably wanted to execute Li Kui immediately.

After throwing the letter aside, Qingfeng Li stretched himself, yawned, and said to Aunt Hua,

"The number of people has increased rapidly recently, and it's a mixed bag. Your people should pay more attention to various places, including the village."

"If anyone is found to have second thoughts, there is no need to torture them, just execute them on the spot!"

"Yes! I obey my orders!"

Aunt Hua clasped her fists and accepted the order.

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly, stood up and walked towards the back hall while waving to Aunt Hua.

"Okay, go back and rest early after you finish your arrangements."

Aunt Hua bowed slightly to Qingfeng Li and turned away.

……

In the Lin Mansion in Yangzhou City.

In Lin Ruhai's study.

Lin Ruhai was holding a book with a worried look on his face, but it was obvious that he had not read a single word and had been in this position for a long time.
