After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

Chapter 589: Suppressing Bandits to Make Money and Take Credit
……

After everything was ready, Captain Lang did not waste a moment and led the integrated troops out of the county at 3 p.m.

The two Tongpans, the two Kangs, Captain Tang and others went to see him off: "I wish Captain Lang a great victory!"

"Thank you all for your kind words. Baofu County is left in your hands. May we accomplish great feats together." After giving these instructions, Captain Lang shouted to set off, whipped his horse, and galloped towards Gui Village in Taifeng Town.

"Farewell, Captain Lang!" When the managers of the merchants such as Wen Jinjie and Kang Yan, as well as Mr. Qu Sanye and Mr. Qu Siye shouted, they felt mixed emotions, including envy, jealousy and hatred.

Among this group of people, the one with the strongest hatred is Liu Fangyu... The bandits massacred the village, and originally thought that the Qin family was doomed, but unexpectedly, the Qin family not only survived, but also accidentally achieved great merit!

"I am Liu Fangyu from Changji Pharmacy. I am here to greet you all." Liu Fangyu seized the opportunity and took the initiative to meet you all. He said, "I heard that the government office is in urgent need of medicinal materials recently. I have tried my best to bring 20 carts of medicinal materials to the government office. I hope you will accept them."

Oh wow, twenty carts of medicinal materials, worth nearly a thousand taels of silver.

But now it is not about suppressing bandits, but killing spies, which is a military secret that concerns the national system. Unless it is a matter of life and death, they cannot let him in even if they knock on the door with a mountain of gold.

County Magistrate Kang said, "No need. The matter of medicinal materials is already in the hands of Wuze Pharmacy."

How can a newly emerged poor drugstore compare to Changji Drugstore, which is backed by a thousand-year-old family?

"Sir, medicinal herbs are durable. Even if we don't need them this time, we can keep them for later use. Besides, I have already brought the herbs here. If I take them back and the owner of our Changji Pharmacy finds out, he will scold me for my incompetence." Liu Fangyu spoke in a humble tone, but he used the noble family behind the pharmacy to pressure County Magistrate Kang.

But the current County Magistrate Kang is no longer the same as before. His face darkened and he angrily shouted, "You bold servant, I have already said that I will not accept your medicinal herbs. Why are you forcing me to accept them?!"

"Get out of here now and keep your people in the pharmacy under control. If anything happens during this time, don't blame me for not giving face to your Changji Pharmacy!"

what?
Liu Fangyu was stunned... Is this County Magistrate Kang? Could it be that he was possessed by some reckless man? He actually disregarded the interests of all parties and humiliated Changji Pharmacy in public?
"Didn't you hear Magistrate Kang's order? Quickly drive away this blind servant!" Captain Tang called his soldiers.

A group of government troops immediately stepped forward, picked up Liu Fangyu while he was shocked, and threw him near the medicine cart of Changji Pharmacy.

He also warned him: "The county is suppressing bandits recently, so be honest. If the government troops find out that your Changji Medicine Store is colluding with bandits, the government army camp will definitely send soldiers to destroy your medicine store!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

When the people who came to see him off saw that Liu Fangyu was thrown away, they gave up the idea of ​​getting close to him and finding out the inside story, and just obeyed and cooperated with the government to guard the county.

Liu Fangyu was so angry that he was shaking. After a while, he got up with the help of the waiter.

Liu Fangyu was embarrassed in public and was so angry that he wanted to find fault and slap the waiter twice to vent his anger. However, he was afraid that he would lose the waiter's loyalty, so he forced himself to hold back.

He looked around hurriedly, searching for the figure of Mr. Qu Si.

Seeing that he and Mr. Qu Sanye were able to leave with County Magistrate Kang, he felt relieved.

Fourth Master Qu is a half-slave of the Wen family. With him around, the aristocratic and powerful families should be able to know the inside story of this incident.

However, Liu Fangyu was wrong.

The Qu brothers were unable to enter the county government office and were stopped by the government troops at the second gate.

It was Xue Xing, the manager, who told the two men, "Mr. Qu San and Mr. Qu Si, our boss said that the government will handle the bandit suppression, and the Qu family will not need help. You two can go back to the Qu family dyeing workshop and do your business as usual."

Fourth Master Qu was extremely smart and had already noticed the unusualness of the government office. Now that he heard this, he said, "Thank you for the reminder. Please rest assured, Xue family. Our Qu family will abide by the law."

At this time, although there is no chance of meritorious service if you keep to yourself, you can keep the whole clan safe.

Manager Xue Xing nodded and said with a smile, "Master Qu Si is wise. No wonder our boss admires you the most and says that you are the most powerful merchant in the entire Northeast Province who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him."

Haha, Fourth Master Qu smiled bitterly, his face burning... He has always been inferior to Xue Zhui.

In terms of courage, Xue Zhui dared not to be a half-slave of a noble and powerful family, but he didn't dare.

In terms of vision, Xue Zhui fell in love with the Qin family at first sight and dared to invest in the Qin family. Now, relying on the Qin family and the new dye, and getting in touch with His Majesty, he has risen to the top and become a core figure who can handle major cases with all the adults!
And his Qu family, still half-slaves of a powerful and aristocratic family, is still begging for survival on their knees.

The reason why he could come to Baofu County again this time was because the incidents of the new dye semi-government camp and the bandits' massacre of the village had become too serious, so his master ordered him to come back and contact the Qin family again.

The more Mr. Qu Si thought about it, the more speechless he became. After bowing to Manager Xue Xing, he turned and left.

"Thank you, Manager Xue. We will go back first. If you need help, please come to the dyeing workshop to find us." After saying these polite words, Mr. Qu Sanye hurriedly chased after Mr. Qu Siye.

Several other merchants also returned to the dyeing workshops, but there was no work to do.

Because the city gates were always closed, no one was allowed to enter or leave except the soldiers from the two gates. Even going out to buy things on the street had to register and report.

The government said that this was to prevent bandits from joining forces inside and outside the county and breaking into the county town.

In fact, the government wanted to close the city gates and clear out the spies lurking in the city.

……

The county town was busy searching for spies, and several families including Qin, Jiang, Xu and Qiao in Taifeng Town were also busy sending people to take credit, no, to help the court eliminate the spies!
Jiang Dalang and Uncle Qin came back an hour early, said goodbye to their family, and then secretly told Qin Xiaomi the inside story.

Qin Xiaomi was excited when she heard this, and immediately said, "Hurry up and call a few families over, and call Old Man Xun and the others as well, no one can be left behind!"

"What are you going to do?" Uncle Qin asked.

Qin Xiaomi: "Don't ask, you'll know when everyone arrives!"

"Young master, Yiqing has gone to call him." said Madam Yao.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Qin Jiang, Xu Qiao and other family members, Old Man Xun and other servants all arrived at Qin Xiaomi's house. Even Qin Cunquan, who was going to work at the Silifang, was stopped and called over.

Qin Xiaomi looked at them as if he was looking at military merits one by one, his eyes sparkled and the corners of his mouth curled up.

As she laughed, she couldn't help it and burst out laughing.

"Are you crazy?" Uncle Qin asked.

Qin Xiaomi glared at him, then smiled and said, "Everyone, our ancestors have blessed us and sent us military merits, so this time we go to the bandit camp, each of our families must send at least one person!"

"Although this trip is risky, as long as you follow the army, even if you just help the army cook for them at the foot of the mountain, you can still get some merit for killing the enemy!"

"Killing the enemy is a military merit. If you succeed, three generations of your descendants will benefit from it!"

“From now on, if anyone says that we are not the Qin family of disaster victims or the Qin family of new dyes, we will be the Qin family of killing enemies and protecting the country!”

"My family, my second uncle and Xiaogu are all going." Qin Xiaomi looked at Qin Xiaogu and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, Xiaogu, you don't have to go to the bandit camp to kill the enemy, you just need to follow behind the army and get some credit."

Uncle Pang came back early with Uncle Qin and the others. When he heard this, his face turned dark.

"Daughter of the Qin family, you are so crazy." Uncle Pang pointed at Qin Xiaogu and said, "Your eldest cousin is only ten years old, and you want him to go to the bandit camp to gain military merit? Those are not simple bandits, but..."

At the critical moment, Uncle Pang held back.
