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

Xue's mother looked worried and said,

"But what if..."

Xue Baochai shook her head slightly and said,

"If something happens... then my Xue family might actually have an extra way out. Right now, it's best to remain constant in the face of ever-changing circumstances!"

After a moment's thought, Xue's mother understood the deeper meaning of her daughter's words.

Then he nodded slightly and sighed.

"Alas! I thought it was your father's spirit in heaven blessing me, but I never expected..."

"Forget it. From now on, let your brother and Linghu Chong handle the Fengzihao business. We, mother and daughter, will stay in the backyard!"

"Also, I will issue an order to everyone in the mansion to forbid any discussion of anything related to Yangzhou!"

Xue Baochai heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this and nodded quickly.

"Mom, you are absolutely right!"

……

In Jinling City,

As Wang Ziteng arrived in Jinling, a group of noble sons and daughters,

After hearing about Yangzhou's Qingfengzhai, they occupied Yangzhou in just two or three days.

After seeing Qingfeng Village's powerful and swift combat capability, many sons of nobles were shocked and even began to back out, secretly wondering whether they should not have joined this trip.

Even Shi Lei, the son of Duke Shanguo, who used to be always eager to fight, would spend every day in deep thought looking at the map of Jiangnan.

It was as if he could get a strategy to completely defeat Qingfeng Village from the map.

Niu Ben, the grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, felt that Wang Ziteng had done nothing since arriving in Jinling.

The failure to take the initiative to send troops to suppress the bandits was the main factor that contributed to the rise of the rebels in Yangzhou.

He even wrote a letter and sent it to Jinling, hoping that his grandfather would report Wang Ziteng.

Although there are turbulent situations in secret, on the surface,

There was not much turmoil in Jinling for a while.

……

After Qingfengzhai occupied Yangzhou,

Among the three halls in Qingfeng Village, the Sanhuai Hall is mainly responsible for intelligence.

Under the redeployment of its leader Shen Gonghou, the strategic focus was adjusted.

A few days ago, if it weren't for Aunt Hua's plea, Shen Gonghou almost wore the green scarf that would have shamed every hall master.

Although that thing is not harmful at all, it is very embarrassing.

Since the green scarf was established, no hall master has ever worn it.

Therefore, the monkey Shen Gong, who worked hard and learned from his shame,

After applying for another 50,000 taels of silver from Li Qingfeng, he sent out almost all the people around him.

A large number of professional intelligence personnel from Sanhuai Hall sneaked out of Yangzhou, some heading south to Nanjing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, and some heading east to Anhui and Henan. Every day, intelligence from countless armies from all over the country continuously flowed into Yangzhou City.

If Qingfengzhai had not entered Yangzhou City and immediately defeated a large number of salt merchants and gentry, it might not have been able to come up with 50,000 taels of silver.

The third day after Qingfengzhai settled in Yangzhou.

In Yangzhou City, the office for re-registering household registration was surrounded for several streets by the influx of people.

As a last resort, Qingfeng Village immediately set up dozens of service points in the city, and only then was the situation barely stabilized.

Outside Yangzhou City, there were crowds of people, countless Yangzhou people,

They all followed the Qingfeng Village staff closely with excitement and participated in the land distribution process.

Whenever the common people looked at their newly allocated land, they would be moved to tears or kowtow devoutly towards the direction of Yangzhou city.

Compared to the bustling crowds of people inside and outside Yangzhou City,

Inside the Yangzhou prefectural government office,

No, at this moment, the plaque of the prefectural yamen has been taken down and replaced with a golden plaque with two big characters "Qingfeng".

In the lobby where the former Yangzhou prefect used to judge cases and handle official business while a clear mirror hung high.

At this moment, the Twelve Halls of Qingfeng Village,

In addition to the White Tiger Hall, Yunchi Hall and Sanhuai Hall masters who were on missions outside,
