However, seeing Shen Gonghou like this, my heart couldn't help but soften.

Shen Gonghou was recruited by Qingfeng himself. He was killed by the local landlord because his parents were beaten to death.

Shen Gonghou, who witnessed all this, did not shed a tear, did not resist, and did not even say a harsh word. He was even severely ridiculed by the landlord's lackeys.

When everyone thought the matter was over, Shen Gonghou took advantage of the dark night and strong wind, climbed over the wall into the landlord's house with a kitchen knife, and prepared to kill his entire family.

At that time, Li Qingfeng was wearing an eye patch and experiencing the life of a bandit, and he also had his eyes on this landlord.

After discovering the monkey Shen who was about to commit suicide and asking why,

He then thought that this boy was a talented person, so he ordered people to help Shen Gonghou take revenge and bring him back to the mountain stronghold.

Only after he had avenged his parents did Shen Gonghou shed tears. At that time, just like today, he kowtowed three times to Li Qingfeng.

And Shen Gonghou's subsequent performance did not disappoint Li Qingfeng.

Although he doesn't like to talk much, he is serious, careful and meticulous in his actions.

In the selection of hall masters, he won the position of hall master of Sanhuai Hall in Qingfeng Village with a score almost half that of the second place.

From then on, Li Qingfeng gave him the name Shen Gong Hou, implying that he would start a new life in Qingfeng Village.

Li Qingfeng bent down to help Shen Gonghou up, and raised his hand to wipe the blood and tears from his face.

He said earnestly,

"Monkey, I hope this is the last time. Starting tomorrow, you will spend two hours every day looking for Xiao Ai. I will let her guide you in more in-depth intelligence work!"

"Your job is different from the other halls. They just need to wait for the order from this peak master."

"But intelligence work is different. You have to rely on your senses to sniff out clues, even a guess, a random thought, to gather all the information for me in advance so I can make a decision. You can imagine the heavy responsibility on you!"

Then he patted Shen Gonghou's shoulder,

"I hope you can remember this lesson and learn from it!"

Shen Gonghou choked up a little before looking at Qingfeng Li seriously and said,

"Please rest assured, Peak Master. I will never make a similar mistake again!"

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly and didn't say anything more.

Shen Gonghou is a man of his word and strict with himself, and all he needs to do is get what he wants.

Then he patted his shoulder and said,

"Go find someone to take care of your wound. Studying is fine, but don't neglect your daily affairs!"

"My subordinate understands!"

……

After driving away the monkey Shen Gong,

Li Qingfeng returned to the backyard of the yamen, which had now become his temporary residence.

He called Aunt Hua directly and ordered,

"Madam Hua, from now on, the people of the White Tiger Hall must keep a close eye on all the hall staff, from the outside staff to the captains, even the hall masters. Anyone who harms the people will be arrested and executed without mercy!"

Now that Qingfeng Village has begun to take over the local area, it naturally needs to establish a positive image in the minds of the general public. How can it harbor filth and corruption like the current Daqian?

Although Li Qingfeng believed that his men would not dare to violate the rules of Qingfeng Village, it would be easy for them to become lax if there was no sword hanging over their heads at all times.

Aunt Hua's expression turned serious.

"Yes, Lord Bee! I understand!"

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly, thought for a moment and said,

"Send a message to the Dongfeng Chamber of Commerce. Before the imperial army arrives, spend all the money seized from the Yangzhou raids."

"Food, cloth, pig iron, ore, even war horses, anything related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, buy it all for me, as much as you can!"

"I obey my orders!"

Aunt Hua accepted the order seriously.

"Well, let's go!"

After Nanny Hua took the order and left, Li Qin and He sat on the chairs with their eyes closed, thinking about what they had gained in the past few days.
