The big bandit in the Red Mansion robbed Lin Daiyu at the beginning

Chapter 476

But the contempt in everyone's eyes, the invisible indifference,

Even though Jia Zhen had been beaten to a pulp by Tang Xiaolong and had no sense of shame at all, he felt extremely unhappy, as if a huge rock was pressing on him.

When Jia Zhen thought of those people ignoring him, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed across them.

He immediately picked up a pen and sat down at his desk, starting to write on a piece of paper.

After writing, put the note into a bamboo tube and seal it.

Then hang a small red lantern in front of your window.

Then, Jia Zhen came to the deck alone and looked around.

After finding that there was no one around, he came to the railing, turned over a pile of debris, found an iron block and a long rope, and used two ends of the rope to connect the iron block and the bamboo tube.

Then he quietly pushed it into the rolling river.

Watching the bamboo tube brushing the water surface with the waves, but not drifting with the current.

Only then did Jia Zhen breathe a sigh of relief.

After observing the surroundings for a while, he put his hands behind his back, went back to his room as if nothing had happened, and took down the red lantern.

Half a quarter of an hour after Wang Ziteng and his team's fleet passed by,

A small boat emerged from the reeds like an arrow.

It quickly came to the river and headed straight for the bamboo tube above the river.

After taking off the bamboo tube, the boat sailed away quickly.

quickly,

On the surface of the river here, there is only the rushing river, and no other movement.

……

Inside the Zhengjun Hall of Qingfeng Village.

Qingfeng Li looked at the newly delivered secret report and nodded with satisfaction.

Smiling, he praised Xiao Ai.

"Well, Xiaolong did a great job this time! I didn't expect that although Jia Zhen is a terrible person, he is still quite useful!"

As he said this, he put the secret report in his hand aside and said lightly,

"According to the date, Wang Ziteng and his men will be passing through Haizhou in a few days. Send a message to the Ninth Hall, asking them to restrain themselves and not do any business that requires shipping fees for the next few days."

"alright, got it!"

Xiao Ai answered without any emotion.

Qingfeng Li thought for a moment, then looked at Aunt Hua and asked,

"How are Wang Dacai and Wan Xing doing in Yangzhou now?"

Wang Dacai is the father of Wang Tefa and Wang Ruyi.

After Li Qingfeng pardoned him and Wan Xing, he arranged for them to return to Yangzhou and re-established the new Dongfeng Chamber of Commerce based on the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce to provide logistical support and money for Qingfeng Village.

Of course, this is just Li Qingfeng's plan for long-term development.

At present, Qingfengzhai still has to rely on protection fees from wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou to maintain its operation.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua thought for a moment before saying to Qingfeng Li,

"Reporting to Peak Master, the Dongfeng Chamber of Commerce is now basically on the right track. With the background of Qingfeng Village, the Chamber of Commerce is forming very smoothly."

After a brief pause, he continued,

"However, some major salt merchants, while ostensibly agreeing to join the Chamber of Commerce, are still adopting a wait-and-see attitude. This might not be a problem in the short term, but once the imperial army arrives, I'm afraid they'll immediately..."

Qingfeng Li waved his hand.

"That's fine! These businessmen are all driven by profit and are obsessed with greed."

"They are sitting on the fence and watching, but they don't know how powerful Qingfeng Village is. Once we, Qingfeng Village, defeat the imperial army, they will naturally calm down."

"Right now, it's just a matter of them paying their dues on time."

Aunt Hua nodded.

"Peak Master is absolutely right!"

Qingfeng Li thought for a moment and continued to say to Aunt Hua,

"Now our equipment has been distributed to each hall."

"Everyone in your hall must always remain on high alert before a major battle."

"Especially important information concerning the strength of Qingfeng Village, absolutely no information can be leaked."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Hua's expression sternened, she bowed and clasped her fists in response,
