Rich and powerful

For a while, the atmosphere was heightened again, and the officials were all happy from ear to ear.

Although these officials are petty greedy, 100 taels of silver is still not a small amount to them, and the salary they receive a year is only a few dozen taels of silver.

"Thank you sir!!"

Everyone shouted in unison and raised their glasses to drink Qiu Yi's toast.

On the other side, as soon as Ma Ji and Wang Chuanzhong walked out of the mansion, they heard the voices of talking and laughing inside.

Wang Chuanzhong sighed quietly: "It's so cold in the world!!"

Ma Ji glanced at him, and said: "Why should Wang Dutong care about the words of these villains! Don't forget, you and I are both Mr. Lin's people now! Besides, Qiu Yi is not the one who has the final say on Yucheng now! You can rest easy!!"

Wang Chuanzhong nodded and said: "Boss Ma is right, but the lower officials are superficial!"

"Okay, you go back now, quickly lead a group of people, and go to Fengdu camp to meet me!"

Ma Ji said in a deep voice.

Wang Chuanzhong was startled, and said, "Go to Fengdu Daying? Director Ma, what happened?"

He knew that Fengdu Daying was the warehouse of the Yucheng Household Office, and the materials in it supplied Yucheng and even all the villages and towns under its jurisdiction, which was an extremely sensitive place.

"Don't ask too many questions, do it quickly!! If you delay the important matter, Mr. Lin and Mr. Fu Yin will not spare you!!"

Wang Chuanzhong bowed and said, "I understand now!"

After the words fell, he quickly got on his horse and walked away.

And Ma Ji got on his horse immediately and went straight to Fengdu Camp.

In Fengdu Camp there are not only supplies and grain from Yucheng, but also 20 catties of grain that Lin Yun just brought.

He was not worried about accidents now, he came out by himself, and Zheng Li was watching over there.

But when he saw Qiu Yi's malicious look just now, he faintly realized that something was wrong.

It would be a disaster if Qiu Yi wanted to use the 20 catties of grain again.

Although Zheng Li's defenses are tight and they have bamboo guns, they can easily defend against powerful enemies, but there are many ants that can kill elephants. Once Qiu Yi really has a plan, Zheng Li's team of elite soldiers will absolutely resist it. Can't live.

The Fengdu camp is ten miles outside Yucheng, and it is also heavily guarded on weekdays.

This is even more the case nowadays, when Ma Ji rode his horse and came, the soldiers in charge of guarding the camp immediately stepped forward to stop him.

He shouted angrily: "Stop whoever comes!! The Fengdu camp is an important place for military strategists, no trespassing is allowed!!"

Saying that, the two soldiers directly drew their waist knives, as if they were going to kill someone.

Seeing this, Ma Ji's heart eased a little. After stopping the horse, he shouted: "Open your dog eyes and see who I am!!"

The two soldiers took a closer look, immediately retracted their waist knives, bowed and said: "I have seen Mr. Ma!! I don't know why Mr. Ma came late at night, why?"

"Open the door!! I am here to do business under the order of Lord Fuyin!"

The two soldiers looked at each other and said, "Boss Ma, don't embarrass me! Today's Fengdu camp is under the control of Boss Qiu. Without his order, no one is allowed to enter at this hour!"

"Hmph, bastard!! Don't forget, the current Yucheng is still in the hands of Mr. Fu Yin. If you dare to stop me, be careful of your brains!! Get out of here!!"

Ma Ji was too lazy to talk to them, knowing that Qiu Yi must be behind it, and it made him more convinced that something big would happen tonight.

After that, Ma Ji rode his horse and galloped straight to the two soldiers.

The two were taken aback, but they could only make way for one way to pass.

Ma Ji entered the Fengdu camp smoothly, and when he came to the grain warehouse that Zheng Li was in charge of guarding, a group of soldiers with bamboo guns poured out immediately.

Without fear, Ma Ji turned over and dismounted directly.

Zheng Li also came out at this time, and when he saw Ma Ji, he immediately smiled and said: "Director Ma came late at night, so he is here to drink with me, right?"

"We will have plenty of opportunities to drink in the future, Commander Zheng, I have something important to discuss with you in detail!!"

After all, Zheng Li is following Lin Yun's confidant, and his ability to deal with people has also improved a lot. Seeing Ma Ji's serious look, he also realized that something happened, so he quickly turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, saying: "Mr. Ma, please follow me." I come!!"

Saying that, the two entered the room at the door of the warehouse.

As soon as Zheng Li closed the door and was about to make tea, Ma Ji immediately said: "I just came over from Qiu Yi's house, he may have to do something tonight, Commander Zheng must be prepared, this batch of food is for Mr. Lin If anything goes wrong, we’ll all be full and walk away!”

Zheng Li was shocked, and the teapot in his hand fell to the ground. He said in surprise, "Mr. Ma, are you joking? Qiu Yi has the guts? This is Fengdu Camp!!"

"You think I'd make a joke like that?"

Looking at Ma Ji's solemn expression, Zheng Li smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, don't be so nervous. There are thousands of guards in the Fengdu camp! The water that has been surrounded here has long been impenetrable. Don't even try to sneak in a mouse!"

"That's true, but these soldiers are now under Qiu Yi's orders. Don't forget, he is now the chief of soldiers and horses of Yucheng Mansion!"

Zheng Li finally panicked, gritted his teeth and said, "What a Qiu Yi, he is so daring! He even dared to scratch the corner of his father's wall!!"

He had heard from Lin Yun a long time ago that this food shipment was planned with Qiu Guangri.

It's just that Qiu Yi doesn't give Lin Yun face, even Qiu Guangri has to figure it out.

"Don't worry about it so much! What good countermeasures does Commander Zheng have?"

"Countermeasures? This is not my territory, so what can be done! If they dare to make trouble, they will have to kill them! I believe, with my son's current ability, he should be able to deal with the aftermath!"

Ma Ji nodded solemnly and said, "How many people did you bring this time?"

"Counting me, there are a total of 11 people. I have arranged them around this warehouse and guarded them overnight just in case!"

"Okay, I have notified Wang Chuanzhong, he will bring a team soon, let's be careful tonight, at least stay until dawn!"

Ma Ji also drank some wine just now, but was so surprised that he almost woke up.

"Okay, with Manager Ma as my companion, I won't be lonely tonight! Please take a seat!"

Then Ma Ji sat down on a chair beside him, breathing evenly.

But at this moment, the private army officers and soldiers guarding outside the warehouse suddenly shouted: "Who is it?"

In a word, Ma Ji became nervous again, and Zheng Li was the first to rush out the door, and immediately took out the bamboo gun.

It was pitch black all around, and even the wind lamp that had previously illuminated the road had been extinguished.

After all, Zheng Li had led the soldiers for nearly a year, and he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the darkness around him, so he told a soldier beside him, "Go, check the lights over there!"
