Chapter 150
"Wang Yi and the others haven't come back for a day. Could something happen?" As it was getting dark and Wang Yi and the others still didn't come back, Ning Zhifu and the others began to worry.

"Wang Yi and the others are going to Ji Sibo's house. Could something have happened there?"

"But Ji Sibo didn't go home at all that night, he was fighting the fire all the time, and only his aunt lived in that house."

No one has guessed the truth here, one of the guards of the Wang family said, "Why don't I go and find out at night?"

Ning Zhifu shook his head resolutely, "No! Ji Sibo now believes that you have killed someone. He knows that the three of you are highly skilled in martial arts, so he will definitely guard against you. If you go to investigate again, you may fall into a trap."

The guards of the Wang family looked at each other in blank dismay, "Is this the way to go?"

The leader of their trip was Wang Chao, who led people to chase Song Xing's family, and the other was Wang Yi, whose whereabouts are unknown now.

There are three of them left, I don't know what to do.

Prefect Ning rubbed his forehead with a headache, "Don't act rashly, just stay here with me and wait a few days to see. Maybe Wang Yi and the others are just on temporary business."

But when these words came out, even the magistrate Ning himself didn't believe it. He asked someone to check, and nothing happened to Ji Sibo's house.That is to say, Wang Yi and the others didn't succeed, did they encounter something and didn't go to the house, or were they caught?
Prefect Ning shook his head, not daring to think about this possibility.

After a few days like this, when the magistrate Ning was about to be unable to sit still, Kang came back to look for Ji Fushou with the account book.

Ji Fushou flipped through the ledger, with a satisfied smile on his face, "This ledger is real."

It records what year, month and day, which company shipped the goods, how many carriages were shipped, and how much tolls were collected.Then how much he paid tribute to Jingli, and how much he shared with Ning Zhifu, all were recorded in the book.

"However, this account book should not be complete. According to the number of shipments recorded by Song Xing, Ningbo Mansion has been smuggled for so many years, and there are probably two account books." Ji Fushou turned the account book from beginning to end, and said firmly.

Kang was very dissatisfied, "That Mrs. Song is very cunning, she used us to get rid of the pursuit, and she still kept two ledgers in her hands."

Ji Fushou was not surprised, "People don't kill themselves for their own sake. She is an orphan and widow, so it is understandable to want to keep some rear hands in her hands."

Kang snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that what is left behind is not the backhand, but the reminder."

Ji Fushou patted the ledger, "You saved their lives, and she paid for it with a ledger, so it's clear. Whether their family lives or dies has nothing to do with us."

"My lord, now that you have obtained the ledger, what are you going to do next?" Su asked.

Ji Fushou pondered for a moment, and finally said, "It would be great if the fourth prince had enough confidence now, and this account book can be used. It's a pity. Let's see you first, this account book belongs to us, and it is also a second hand."

"Sibo's appointment as commander-in-chief came down a few days ago, and the Ministry of War also asked him to recruit the government army by himself. I don't know how this matter is going now."

All the previous government troops were involved, and they were not of one mind with Ji Sibo, so it was necessary to recruit new government troops. These talents were people Ji Sibo could use.

"Patriarch! Patriarch!" Ji Tong hurried in from outside.

Seeing Ji Fushou, he saluted and hurriedly said, "Patriarch, there is a new commander in the army, who is appointed by the Ministry of War, and his name is Huaiying.

At the same time, the new commander also brought a new appointment for the young master.The young master has become a ranger general, and he will return to Beijing to report on his duties in a few days. "

Ji Fushou was taken aback, Sibo became a ranger general and wanted to return to Beijing to report on his duties?Ningbo Mansion also has a new commander?

Ji Fushou started to frown, why was he suddenly promoted to Sibo's official position for no reason?Whose handwriting?What is the background of this new commander?
Could it be that Wang Yu made the move and asked his own people to replace the government army?
There were thousands of thoughts in Ji Fushou's mind, and in the end, there was only one thought left.

"The fifteen boats, have they been repaired?" She turned to look at Su.

Su nodded affirmatively, "It's all repaired."

Ji Fushou pursed his lips, "Be prepared these days. After Sibo and the new commander-in-chief are handed over, we will take a boat to that island at night."

Her face seemed to be covered with frost, and her voice was like icicles: "Since it has reached this point, the Japanese on the island will all die before I leave Ningbo Mansion."

At this time, Ji Sibo and Huaiying were standing opposite each other in the government office, and they were both looking at each other.

For Yu Huaiying, Ji Sibo was only fifteen years old, and he had already made great achievements. Before meeting him, he was very curious.

Probably it was the faint evil spirit on the other party that made him feel very close. He was rescued by the British Duke when he was a child. At that time, the British Duke had a strong evil spirit on him.

For Ji Sibo, he didn't welcome this person who came to replace him as commander-in-chief. He still wanted to stay in Ningbo Mansion to do some business, but everything was shattered by the appointment Huaiying brought.

Huaiying is a keen person, he can feel Ji Sibo's dislike, and he doesn't care. Seeing that no one else is around, he patted Ji Sibo's shoulder and lowered his voice, "Brother, take advantage of the right and wrong of leaving Ningbo Mansion now." The place is for your own good."

Thinking of what the young master told him before, even though Huaiying couldn't figure out why the young master looked at Ji Sibo differently, he still made a point.

If Ji Sibo didn't appreciate it, there was nothing he could do.

Ji Sibo's heart moved, and his eyes were full of inquiry. He could feel that Huaiying didn't have any malicious intentions when he said this. If it was someone sent by Wang Yu, he probably wouldn't have reminded him.

Huaiying threw Ji Sibo's appointment into his arms, "Congratulations, you are a fifth-rank military general at the age of 15."

Ji Sibo opened the appointment, took a closer look, and put it away again. The appointment said that he was required to return to Beijing to report on his work within two months, which meant that there was not much time left for him to hand over to Huaiying.

But he hesitated, because he didn't know whether Huaiying was loyal or traitor, so he dared not tell him the real inside story of Ningbo Mansion.

It was Huaiying who opened the mouth, "The news I got from the Ministry of War earlier said that the Ningbo government is not full of soldiers, and you are going to recruit again?"

Ji Sibo nodded when he heard the words, "That's right, I just planned to make a notice."

Huaiying nodded, and asked again, "Should we first recruit all the government troops before you leave?"

Ji Sibo's heart skipped a beat. What did he mean by this? He recruited the army based on his opinion?

Ji Sibo looked at Huaiying fixedly, and said: "Recruiting the government army is also a part of the handover, so I will help you recruit the government army before leaving."
