After hearing Du Bian's words, Xue Guanyin's cheeks blushed instantly, and the heart suddenly twitched.

Then, she gritted her teeth and looked at Du Bian bitterly: "If you tease me again, I will punch out your shit."

Du Bian hurriedly changed the subject and said: "By the way, we need a very authoritative person to follow us. This person must be able to hold the place."

Xue Guanyin suddenly gritted her teeth and looked at Du Bian. Deep down in her heart, she even wanted to let Du Bian continue to molest her, but the **** immediately changed the subject.

But it's a matter of business, Xue Guanyin said earnestly: "With such a person, let's let her follow us to find Li Qianqian."

Du Bian asked: "Who?"

It was definitely not the Duke of Zhennan and Princess Yuzhen, because these two had already led their troops to the south.

"Old General Chu Hongmian." Xue Guanyin said.

Hearing this name, Du Bian suddenly awed in awe and instinctively stood up straight.

Chu Hongmian is simply a tribute to the loyal soul of the Daning Dynasty.

She was also a chieftain in the southwest of the empire, but she was more loyal than the generals of the Daning Dynasty. This general will appear in every war of the empire.

In the North Tartar, Jianlu, the Korean battlefield, and the southwestern chieftain's counter-insurgency battlefield, the wolf army led by this female general fought for the empire.

Whenever something happened in the empire, other chieftains simply ignored the imperial orders of the capital, and they often added chaos.

Only this General Chu Hongmian, whenever the imperial court arrives with an edict, she immediately leads the army to the battlefield, regardless of thousands of miles, she will arrive on the battlefield in time.

Over the past few decades, the wolf army of the Chu family has dropped from 20,000 to less than 7,000. The wolf army has changed from crop to crop. Tens of thousands of wolf army have died in battle for the empire.

Her father, son, and husband all died on the battlefield, making her a toast as a woman.

Not only that, but also because the old general town was in the southwest, even though these chieftains were ready to move, they didn't dare to cause trouble again, because Chu's wolf army was too sturdy to fight.

Eight years ago, the chieftain in the southwest rebelled. The nearly 200,000 army of the Duke of Zhennan was Chu Hongmian’s wolf army that was the best able to fight and made great achievements.

After the war, the emperor wanted to canonize Chu Hongmian as a marquis of the empire, but she refused.

Because if Chu Hongmian was canonized as a Marquis, then Li Ruhai would have to be promoted to Duke. In the southwest of the empire, no one's title can go hand in hand with Lord Songque of Zhennan. This is not good for Lord Zhennan and the situation of the empire.

So until now, the old general Chu Hongmian is still just an earl.

Now she is fifty-seven years old. The Daning Empire wants to go south to help King Annan put down the rebellion. The emperor said nothing, and the old general led the seven thousand wolf army to Guangxi to follow Zhennan Gong south again. Fight for the empire.

Therefore, when Xue Guanyin mentioned this name, Du Bian couldn't help being shocked physically and mentally, and he felt like he wanted to see an idol.

The person most admired by adoptive father Li Wenyu in his life is the veteran general Chu Hongmian. The two helped each other a lot, and they were absolute allies.

"Duke Zhennan's army has sworn to the south, why is General Chu Hongmian still in Lianzhou Mansion?" Du Bian asked.

Xue Guanyin said: "It's not that some people have deliberately tried to avoid the rumors of the foster father and General Chu Hongmian."

This is true. The two are over fifty years old, but rumors are flying all over, saying that Chu Hongmian is the lover of Zhennan Gong Songque.

"Before I go, I have to comb my hair and tidy up my clothes, and then I will visit her old man." Du Bian said.

"Good." Xue Guanyin said.

Then, while Du Bian was not paying attention, she quickly smoothed the bottle of rose oil on the table into the sleeve.

Unexpectedly, Du Bian saw everything in his eyes, but pretended not to see. Sure enough, something is going to happen, this woman can't tease.

"If you don't go to see the old general, let Wu Zhengdao and his son go, otherwise there will be no time." Du Bian said.

"Okay." Xue Guanyin said with an unnatural expression, just like being a thief.

Alas, this girl is too upright, her pretty face can't hide things.

...

In one of the bureaus of the Shibo Division, Xue Guanyin was teaching Wu Zhengdao and his son. It was a routine before his release, and she actually had a position in the Shibo Division.

"You sea merchants, smuggling it is simply frantic." Xue Guanyin said coldly: "If these hundreds of thousands of taels of private salt are put down, how will the court's salt tax be collected?"

Next to her is Sun Li, an **** of Shibosi, the confidant of Grandpa Sun Lin, and a thousand households in Guangxi's **** navy division.

But Du Bian hid behind the tent and did not show up. After all, he couldn't be upright by going through the back door.

Sun Li, the **** of the Shibosi Division, was standing on the right, so he saw Du Bian behind the account. He bowed his hand very politely, expressing apologetics. Obviously, he knew Du Bian’s bad name.

Du Bian nodded without further gestures.

Xue Guanyin continued to teach Wu Zhengdao and his son: "Now you not only want to go home, but you also want to go back to the merchant ship. It's really idiotic. The amount you sell this private salt is enough to beheaded."

This was said through the mouth of Xue Guanyin, and it was really a violation of peace. A pirate leader called the smuggler to be a man.

Wu Zhengdao immediately knelt down and said: "Please be kind to the master of the blood, please open your kindness to Sun Gong."

Of course he knew in his heart that the so-called beheading was fake. But if this merchant ship is not taken back, Wu's family is almost bankrupt, so Wu Zhengdao can only kowtow desperately.

Almost there, Du Bian glanced at Xue Guanyin.

"But it's because of you that Wu's family has helped you many times. This time the person is not arrested, and the boat is also taken back, but a fine of fifty thousand silver is required." Xue Guanyin said: "Do you have any objections?"

As soon as he said this, Wu Zhengdao was taken aback, and he could hardly believe his ears.

Fifty thousand taels?

This time he was already preparing to bleed heavily, the minimum was one hundred thousand taels, and the normal one was 150,000 taels.

In short, the next three or four years will be for nothing. Who makes the empire go to war again? And it's still a big battle.

Didn't expect fifty thousand taels to get out?

Did he know that other maritime merchants’ ships were detained and the fines were half the value of the smuggled goods. Why did he make an exception for Wu Zhengdao?

Not to mention that Wu Zhengdao was surprised. Even Sun Li, the **** of the Shibosi next door, was very puzzled. Wu Zhengdao can be a man with money, but he hasn't heard of how great a patron is.

"Why? Are you not willing?" Xue Guanyin said coldly.

Wu Zhengdao was overjoyed and bowed: "The villain is willing, the villain is willing, thank you for your kindness."

Xue Guanyin said: "Then go and take the cargo ship back, and return the silver ticket to the Shishi Department of Shipping."

"Yes, yes." Wu Zhengdao kept kowtow again and again.

What a great surprise, most of the family property has been preserved. How can Wu Zhengdao not be ecstatic?

...

After Wu Zhengdao left the yamen of the Shibosi Department, he went to the dock to pick up the cargo ship.

Du Bian chased up on the street and said, "Uncle Wu, after the boat is brought back, I will report to Wuzhou Mansion for safety. Both Mrs. Wu and Sister Ping'er are in a hurry."

Wu Zhengdao was taken aback, and said, "Brother is?"

"Du Bian." Du Bian said.

Wu Yanming next to him said, "You are Du Bian? Ping'er's younger brother?"

"Yes, it's me." Du Bian said.

Wu Zhengdao smiled and said, "It turned out to be from his own family. Thank you for reporting the letter. You can take this money to drink tea."

After all, he took out a silver ingot, about twenty-two or so, and then took another one and put it in Du Bian's hand.

One was a meeting gift to Du Bian, and the other was a reward. He thought that Du Bian was going to go here to help people report letters, and take the opportunity to earn some benefits.

After all, in his mind, Du Ping'er's family was settled down, relying on Ping'er to bring back money to support.

Therefore, although Wu Zhengdao was enthusiastic on the surface, he did not regard Du Bian as the same thing in his heart. After all, he was also a large-scale merchant, and it was difficult for him to value poor relatives too much, not to mention his daughter-in-law relatives who had clung to him.

"Because things are so busy, so I won't entertain my brother too much." Wu Zhengdao: "If my brother wants to go back to Wuzhou Prefecture, please pass on a message, saying that we are safe and we will go home soon."

Then, the father and son will leave and go to the dock to pick up the cargo ship.

Du Bian looked at the two silver ingots in his hands and was a little bit dumbfounded, and once again he was regarded as a poor relative of Qiufeng.

The key person has a good attitude, so it is impossible to fight in the face.

At this moment, someone behind hurriedly caught up.

After hearing this, Wu Zhengdao and his son turned around and found that it was Sun Li, the **** of the Marine Division of Shibosi.

Suddenly, the expressions of the two changed, lest things might change, and they prepared to be blackmailed.

"The villain pays homage to Grandpa Sun." Wu Zhengdao and his son bowed and bowed, and even hesitated whether to kneel down in the street. After all, his cargo ship was detained by the shipmaster in name.

Qianhu Sun Li of the Shibosi Division turned a blind eye to the father and son, and did not respond. After all, these eunuchs were domineering and ruthless to the people below, especially because they were in charge of these maritime merchants.

Sun Li looked at Du Bian and smiled with enthusiasm: "Brother Du Bian, let me find it for a while. I couldn't find a chance to say that the blood gang master just now, so I ran out and finally caught up with you. Up."

"What's the matter?" Du Bian said coldly, changing his enthusiasm for Wu Zhengdao and his son.

"The Chollima thing is really awkward, it's really flooded into the Dragon King Temple." Sun Li said, "The brothers who escorted Chollima are also loyal, and they just refused to say a word. Otherwise, the brothers would even have it. No matter how daring, I would not dare to detain the Chollima in Dongchang. The foster father was very upset when he heard about it, saying that he would personally want to apologize to Father Li Wenyu in the future. He also told me over and over again that if I saw brother Du Bian, he must Apologize."

After all, Sun Lizuo hesitated and said, "Brother, I will apologize for being a brother."

Sun Lin, the **** in charge of the Department of Ships, is indeed a good old man.

Immediately afterwards, a stack of silver bills appeared in Du Bian's hands, and Sun Li said, "This is a little bit of our Shibosi Division, please take Brother Du Bian to drink tea."

Du Bian took a look and found that a total of two thousand taels of silver bills, this apologization was not small.

Suddenly ~lightnovelpub.net~ he waved his hand and said, "Everyone belongs to the same vein, so if you have a misunderstanding, just let it go."

"Yes, yes..." Sun Li said diligently: "Brother Nadu Bian is free, brother invite you to have a drink?"

"No, I have something to do." Du Bian said, "Grandpa Sun, go by yourself."

"Well, when the brothers are free, I must let my brother be the host. If you don't entertain Brother Du Bian, I will lose my face to the Lijiang River." Sun Li saluted again, smiling more attentively on his face.

It’s just Li Wenyu’s adopted son, the thousand households of the Shibosi Department shouldn’t have such an attitude. The key is the fraud that happened half a month ago. Du Bian’s big killing of the Quartet really scared people out of their courage. If they really provoke them When it came to this evil star, it was very bad.

This Sun Li turned around to leave, not seeing Wu Zhengdao and his son once from beginning to end.

Seeing this scene, Wu Zhengdao and his son beside him were completely stunned, almost unbelievably watching it all.
