In the hall, Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel a headache after listening to the story of Magistrate Lou.

This Dongchang kills people without blinking. Just to make some money, they killed Lord Bao’s family 73, and even the maids and servants were not spared. They were even more bandits than bandits.

Xiaoliu really doesn't want to get involved with them in a cruel and privileged organization.

Xiao Liu couldn't help but frown and ponder.

Magistrate Lou and the rest of the people were watching him. After yesterday's battle, no one dared to underestimate the young man in front of him who had been on duty for less than a month.

Looking at everyone's expectant gaze, although Xiao Liu had made a decision in his mind, he could not say it clearly, and could only use words carefully and express it in a tactful manner.

"Master Qi, I have investigated the terrain of the Black Wind Ridge this time. In Bei Yi's opinion, the land where this group of bandits is extremely dangerous, and I'm afraid it cannot be wiped out by our three counties. If we attack for a strong force, we will suffer heavy casualties."

"In humble opinion, we should focus on besieging these bandits and preventing them from going down the mountain to rob. As for the purpose of completely eliminating these bandits and returning the tranquility of the mountains and fields, we may need to send heavenly soldiers to come."

Xiaoliu said something a bit literary. Lao Xing and Captain Chen didn't understand what Xiaoliu said for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

But the magistrate Lou, the commander, and the captain Han understood, and the three of them couldn't help but lit up.

County Magistrate Lou strodes the long beard, but did not respond immediately, but thought slightly.

Xiao Liu was practicing Tai Chi, and he planned to hand over this matter to the top on the pretext of insufficient ability.

In fact, this was originally their initial plan, but because of the defeat of the bandits yesterday, Magistrate Lou and others had the idea of ​​suppressing the bandits and making contributions.

But at this time, it’s okay if you don’t have the credit for this, and killing more than 40 bandits is enough.

County Magistrate Lou had finished weighing the gains and losses, and immediately made a decision.

"Since that's the case, then I will report this matter to the Lord Tai and ask him to send troops to help as soon as possible. As for the peace of the people, I will be in trouble." County Magistrate Lou said as he looked at everyone.

"Abide by the orders of the Lord and ensure peace to the people!" Xiao Liu and the others quickly answered.

Hearing everyone's reply, Magistrate Lou nodded with satisfaction, then he looked at Xiaoliu and said.

"Person Captain Yan, you killed more than 30 bandits yesterday, and you can be said to have made great contributions. You have made great contributions to killing the bandits. I will reward you with thirty taels of silver. Are you willing to bring people to Heifeng Ridge to intimidate the bandits again?"

Xiao Liu hurriedly stepped out of the line and clasped his fists and replied, "Abide by the orders of lord!"

Seeing Xiaoliu like this, County Magistrate Lou nodded with satisfaction. Xiaoliu was in charge of Heifeng Ridge, and even these bandits could not make any storms.

"Okay, since that's the case, then you can continue to discuss the rest. Master stays, and the rest of the people will go down first."

"Yes!" Xiao Liu and four others all bowed their fists and said back.

Seeing Xiaoliu and the others leaving, County Magistrate Lou looked at the master.

"Master, what Xiao Liu just said, do you have any objections?"

When the master heard the question from Magistrate Lou, he lowered his head and thought for a while, shook his head and replied.

"The strategy of Deputy Captain Yan is probably the safest one. Dongchang has always been cold-blooded and ruthless. It is the best not to provoke him. If we rashly suppress the bandits, we will probably cause trouble."

"Yes!" County Magistrate Lou nodded. "I think so too. I grind ink for me. I want to report this to the National Taiwan University in person."

"It's my master!" the master responded, but then he asked hesitantly.

"But sir, do you want to explain the matter of Dongchang to the Taigong?"

"Huh?" Hearing the master's words, Magistrate Lou's hand holding the pen stopped, and he looked at the master.

The master also replied in a low voice when he looked at Magistrate Lou.

"Sir, if you say that this matter is related to the East Factory, I am afraid that the Lord of the Taigong Department will not dare to send troops. And if you do not mention this matter, you are afraid..."

The master did not finish his words, but looked in the direction where Captain Han and the others had just left.

Magistrate Lou also understood, and he put down the pen in his hand and began to think.

The master saw that Magistrate Lou did not speak anymore. Magistrate Lou had to make his own decision on this matter.

While the magistrate Lou was hesitating, Xiao Liu's talks went very smoothly, and they were all settled in a short while.

The final result was that the three counties jointly included Qixia Town, Lao Xing as the commander-in-chief, Han, Chen as the deputy commander-in-chief, and Xiao Liu as the front commander-in-chief. The two counties sent ten people to Heifengling to support, and Xiao Liu jointly commanded against the bandits.

This negotiation took less than half an hour in total.

Of course, the talk was so smooth, thanks to yesterday's big victory, which made the reputation of Qixia Town, Lao Xing, and Xiao Liu reach an extremely high level.

In addition, there is also the reason why Captain Han takes the team.

After the negotiations were over, Xiao Liu quickly planned to rush to Heifeng Ridge, but was stopped by the yamen runners at the door.

"Previous Chief Yan, County Magistrate Lou said, please don't leave Qixia Town first, he has a gift to give to you."

"Gift?" Xiao Liu asked curiously.

Old Xing and the other two were also very curious.

"Yes, but he said the gift hasn't arrived yet, so let's wait a little longer."

The yamen runner said respectfully that after yesterday's battle, Xiao Liu's reputation in Qixia Town was unparalleled. Even the yamen runner has now become his little fan.

"Master, do you know what this gift is?" Xiao Liu couldn't help but ask his master curiously.

"I don't know, but Magistrate Lou asked you to wait, so you can wait first. Let's go, the master will take you to drink."

Old Xing didn't know either, but he happily patted Xiaoliu's arm and said, "Today he is very proud and has become the commander-in-chief of these three counties."

Xiao Liu's disciple is really his lucky star, he really gives him a face!

It was noon at this time, and it was indeed time for dinner. Xiao Liu and his team also had to entertain Captain Han and Captain Chen and others to fulfill their friendship with the landlords.

However, the money for the meal does not need to be paid out of public funds. Xiao Liu just received a thirty taels of silver reward today, which was rich and powerful, so he naturally came to treat him at this time.

At this time, Yihong Building had not opened yet, so there was only one place for them to eat, Tongfu Inn!

In this way, a group of eight people headed towards Tongfu Inn.

———————————————————————————

And while Xiao Liu and his team were walking towards Tongfu Inn, a farce was also happening quietly in Baima Academy.

At this time, the teachers and students in the school had already had lunch and prepared for lunch break. Mr. Zhu also supported his cheeks with one hand and rested.

Xiao Bei held the rope and gently touched behind him. The other students around him also looked at Xiao Bei with anticipation.
