Chapter 65
Mrs. Lin couldn't help but look at Qingxin, and withdrew her hand, "I'm old, not stupid."

"Ayu, she went too far in the matter of the orb, but she kept the whole mansion in good order."

"Who do I want to take back the power of the house? Do you let me manage this old bone by myself?"

Qingxin paused, then lowered her head, "It's the servant girl who said something wrong, but the fourth girl helped the eldest girl manage the shop before."

"Now that the fourth girl is being sent to the nursery, I'm afraid the eldest girl will be too busy."

"Do you want Aunt Feng or the second lady to take care of it?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's cloudy eyes flickered, "Go and call Aunt Feng over."

Erfang's ambitions are too great. If they are really allowed to intervene, they still don't know whether to help Lin Yu or harm Lin Yu. Let Aunt Feng do it.

Qixi stood at the door and watched Mrs. Lin and the two leave, and then went back to the house, unable to bear the indignation.

"The old lady is too much, she only knows how to protect the fourth girl, why doesn't she know how difficult it is for the eldest girl?"

Holding the account book, Lin Yu was dazed for a moment, "People's hearts are biased, and some things can't be forced. After all, I don't spend much time with my grandmother. It's normal for my grandmother to like Lin Baozhu."

Qixi was dissatisfied, "That's not what you said, it's because you have been busy with the house's affairs and you don't have time, and it's because you don't want to accompany the old lady to fulfill your filial piety?"

Seeing Qixi's righteous indignation, Lin Yu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, "Okay, there's still a lot to do, don't keep nagging here, my head hurts from talking about it."

"Go and see if Xiangxiang is in the mansion. If she is, call her over. I need to find her."

Qi Xi hurriedly agreed and left. Lin Yu flipped through the account book in her hand, and finally put it back. She really didn't have the heart to read it.

"Ban Xia, where did you catch the person who assassinated Gu Chunhua the other day?"

Ban Xia was sitting on the porch embroidering, when she heard Lin Yu's movement, she hurried in.

"Sister Hua Ning has been interrogating for the past few days, but he bit her to death and didn't let go, and didn't ask anything."

Lin Yu had guessed this a long time ago, the dead men were different from other people, as long as they didn't tell, no amount of torture would be useless.

"Tell Hua Nie to let her go, and then let her go to the Yoying Hall to watch over Lin Baozhu, and don't let her run away."

When Hua Ning got the news, he was stunned for a moment, the whip in his hand missed, and fell to the ground, splashing dust.

"Let him go? Is that what the girl said?"

Ban Xia nodded, "Yes, girl let me go."

"Why? I finally caught him, and I haven't asked anything yet!"

Hua Ning was a little unhappy, especially when she thought that she was going to stare at Lin Baozhu.

"It's really bad luck!"

No matter how upset she was, Hua Ning let him go. Looking at the man in front of her, she kicked him angrily.

"Go away, old lady, let me catch you one more time, old lady peeled off your skin."

In the territory of Shanhuai Datong, He Changfeng led soldiers and horses all the way into the city. Wu Yanxing, the magistrate of Datong, had been waiting early in the morning, and when he saw people, he hurriedly greeted them enthusiastically.

"Hey, General He, you are here. I have been looking forward to it for so long, but it is not easy for you to come!"

He Changfeng is more than eight feet tall, he looks rough but is very polite, when he saw Wu Yanxing, he hurriedly got off his horse and bowed his hands to salute.

"Master Wu."

Wu Yanxing nodded, and asked someone to lead He Changfeng's horse, and asked with concern:
"General He has been exhausted all the way, and it's really hard. I have ordered him to go down and clean up the dust for the general tonight."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu."

While talking, He Changfeng asked, "How about bandits recently? Is there a tendency to increase? Where are they all now?"

He kept in mind the mission entrusted by the Holy Majesty, and this time he came to Shanhuai Datong, he must succeed in suppressing the bandits and restore peace to the people.

When mentioning bandits, Wu Yanxing's face became sad, "The general also saw that there are not many other things in our Shanhuai area, but there are many mountains."

"Longhu Mountain, Baliang Mountain, Snake Mountain, and Yumao Mountain, there are bandits on each mountain. The most powerful are the two cottages of Balliang Mountain and Longhu Mountain. There is a tendency to occupy the mountains as kings."

Wu Yanxing stroked his hair, worried, "Just to attack these bandits, I don't know how many times I have used the city guards."

"But no, if you attack one mountain, the other mountains will disturb you. In the end, all the defenders will be lost. There is nothing we can do."

Hearing this, He Changfeng felt that the matter was a bit serious, and he looked solemn, "Master Wu, do you have a map, I will study it with the brothers tonight."

Wu Yanxing nodded, "Yes, how can this not be, I will send it to the general tonight."

"However, the general and all the soldiers have been exhausted all the way, and they are very exhausted. It is better to recuperate for a few days before taking action."

"After all, suppressing bandits is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

He Changfeng declined, "Thank you, Lord Wu, for your kindness, but I dare not neglect the tasks assigned by the Holy Majesty. It is enough to rectify and rest tonight, and there is no need for two or three days."

Hearing this, Wu Yanxing nodded with a smile, "Okay, then, I'll go find a map for the general, remember to attend the welcome banquet tonight, general."

He Changfeng nodded, "Okay, the general and all the officers and men will be there for Master Wu's dinner."

As night fell, He Changfeng took people to Wu Yanxing's mansion, besides him, there were people from the chief envoy and the general envoy.

At the dinner party, the atmosphere was very active for a while as the cups were changed. Someone looked at He Changfeng and asked:
"How does General He plan to deal with bandits?"

Wu Yanxing said hastily: "Today is to clean up the dust for General He, so we don't want to talk about these things."

He Changfeng frowned, "These bandits are supposed to be a mob, and the so-called alliance is nothing but interests."

"If you buy some bandits, then dividing them up is the most effective way."

Wu Yanxing and the General Political Envoy who spoke just now looked at each other, and then laughed.

"Oh, why didn't I expect this method. General He is really good at the art of war."

Everyone drank dozens more cups, and He Changfeng felt that his head was a little dizzy at this moment, so he refused:
"Thank you, Mr. Wu and everyone for your hospitality today. Tomorrow, I have to suppress the bandits, so I won't stay any longer."

Wu Yanxing stood up, "Oh! What's the matter, let's drink to our heart's content, and it won't be too late to suppress the bandits in the future!"

He Changfeng made up his mind not to drink this time, and refused again, with a harsh voice in the end.

"You can drink alcohol at any time, but you can't fight a war. One day later, the people will suffer one more day."

"How can you officials have the heart to eat, drink and have fun by yourself, regardless of the people in Shanhuai?"

After being told this, the smile on Wu Yanxing's face faded, and the wine glass in his hand loosened and fell to the ground.

"General He is right, but how do you know that I only care about eating, drinking and having fun, rather than wanting the general to suppress bandits at all?"

He Changfeng's mind cleared up for a moment, "What do you mean? Wu Yanxing, you dare to collude with bandits?"

"Hahahaha!"

Wu Yanxing laughed a few times, clapped his hands, and soon the city guards appeared and surrounded He Changfeng and others.

"General He is really smart, but what a pity! It's already too late."

"Get them all for me!"

He Changfeng and a group of soldiers wanted to resist, but they were already fish on the chopping board, and they were all tied up soon.

Wu Yanxing signaled them to take everyone down, leaving only He Changfeng, bent down and whispered in his ear:
"But the person who complicates the bandits is not the official, but you, General He!"
