On the eleventh day, Lin Duci's conscription was on the right track, and Tang Zongjiu needed to train the recruits, so Shen Qi could only go to send food by himself.

On this day, Shen Qi replaced the rice as usual, but this time, she only put twenty bags, but next to these twenty bags, she put the latest roast duck.

This roast duck is like an autumn oil painting, rich in layers and full.

The skin is baked just right, golden and crispy, as if you can hear the "click" sound that will be made when you touch it, and it is a beautiful movement of crispy skin.

At this time, this freshly baked duck still exudes a slight heat with a hint of caramel-like sweetness, and just looking at it, you can imagine how tender and juicy the duck meat is.

I don't know why, the smell of meat wafts with the wind, making everyone in the water bandit village seem to smell this fragrance.

Red forest, water bandit village.

Liu Changqing has always been restless these days.

At this moment, he was pacing back and forth in the council hall of the main building of the Water Bandit Village.

Originally, he was sure that the matter of the official strike would be won, and in previous years, many ministers would compromise at this point, because they could not afford the consequences of the shutdown of government affairs.

However, these things did not seem to hinder Lin Duci much, nor did they stop Lin Duci from continuing to suppress bandits.

Liu Changqing didn't understand what kind of person this Lin Duci was, who could run the entire southern government affairs in the most concise way under such a severe situation.

Immediately afterwards, it was to listen to the matter of Yulou sending rice.

His intuition told him what the connection between the two should be.

But he couldn't figure out what the connection could be between the officials' strike and the rain building's delivery of grain.

Then, when he finally suppressed the matter of sending grain, he heard that Lin Duqi was going to recruit troops in the south, and he really thought it was funny at that time.

However, Lin Duci's righteous declaration of war shattered his smile in an instant.

Declare war!

How can he say anything about it, and who is he who dares to declare war on him?!

But that's what people do.

did it with pride, which made Liu Changqing hate itchy.

Especially that announcement and the words "The rise and fall of the country, the husband is responsible", how exciting it is.

Liu Changqing is most angry at this point.

Lin Duci was obviously the weakest-looking of the Qincha he had ever seen, but why was he so decisive and courageous?

So far, he has killed nearly twenty officials.

Twenty officials, what concept?

If it was the previous Qincha, he wouldn't dare to kill like this.

So why did Lin Duci dare so much?

The successive blows made Liu Changqing's whole person enter a manic state.

"Report ——!"

At this moment, a proclamation came from outside the door.

"Come in!" Liu Changqing said.

After opening the door, a subordinate of a water bandit bent down at Liu Changqing and said, "Report to the master of the village, the new commander has taken office." ”

"What!" Liu Changqing was taken aback, "Why is it so fast?" ”

After Admiral Liu Changsheng was beheaded in public at the gate of the Qincha Ya to establish his prestige, Admiral Liu Changsheng did not expect that more than a month had passed.

"What's the name of the new Admiral?" Liu Changqing asked.

"It is said to be called Yu Dingping." Subordinate Dao.

Liu Changqing went through all the people he knew in his mind, and there seemed to be no one with the surname Yu.

"Did you give a gift?" Liu Changqing continued to ask.

"I sent it, but the other party didn't accept it." Subordinate Dao.

"Smack——! With a bang, Liu Changqing slapped the table next to him.

It's the one who quits at dusk.

It won't work like this.

dragged on until now, Yu Dingping is just the beginning.

It is very likely that the officials who will take office after that will be on the same side as Lin Duci.

Once the Liu family can't control the officials, then the entire south will really be completely overthrown by this Lin Dusk's resignation this time.

"Got it, you stand down." Liu Changqing turned around and prepared to go to Liu Changpeng again.

"Report ——!" The subordinate shouted again.

"What else?" Liu Changqing showed impatience.

"Let's intercept the killers who spread the news from Spring Breeze City, and we will increase the price."

"What?!" Liu Changqing was furious, "One hundred taels of silver for one person is not enough?!" ”

"Little ones don't know." The subordinate bowed his head and said.

"Money money, money, money, money, you know money, people don't kill a few, money needs a lot!" Liu Changqing slapped the table again.

During this time, the task of blocking the transmission of information, from the water bandits themselves, as a result, because there were too many dead people, the water bandits were unhappy, to inviting killers, and now to now, Liu Changqing spent boxes of silver, but the effect was very small.

At first, it was pretty good, and I was able to basically intercept all the news of Lin Duci, but I don't know what's going on lately, and there are fewer and fewer messages that can be stopped.

"Report ——!" The subordinate shouted for the third time.

"What else?!" Liu Changqing's whole body was so angry that he began to smoke.

"Someone has brought food at the door again!"

"Let them all get out of ——!" Liu Changqing roared angrily.

"But......" subordinates echoed whatever Liu Changqing said before, but this matter was the only one that paused for half a minute.

"But what?" Liu Changqing stared at his subordinates with wide eyes and shouted, "Strengthen night patrols, if there are still people sneaking out to eat, they will all get out of my village!" ”

As he spoke, the spittle in his mouth flew wildly.

The subordinate subconsciously took a step back to avoid spitting saliva on his face.

Yes, since Shen Qi placed the roast duck on the eleventh, there have always been water bandits who sneak out to eat a few bites at night.

Although it's already cold, the roast duck in Tingyulou is the roast duck in Tingyulou after all.

Listen to the three words of the rain building is a living signboard.

When the first one came back, the water bandits suddenly realized that since they couldn't eat inside the stockade, they should eat outside the stockade.

So, gradually, some people sneaked out of the village to eat.

This is also the reason why Liu Changqing was furious when he learned about it.

"The owner of the village, this time they not only delivered food, but also made a barbecue on the spot, and the fragrance wafted directly to the entire village." Subordinate Dao.

Liu Changqing even paused for breathing when he heard this.

Immediately, a shout that broke through the air swept through the main building of the entire water bandit village.

"——!"

The subordinates didn't dare to touch Liu Changqing's moldy head again, and immediately retreated, and there was a fourth thing he didn't tell him.

From the day Lin Duci declared war in a high-profile manner, at the Honglin boundary monument, some people began to prepare for war.

Trenches, piggybacks, camps.

Obviously, Lin Duci is not joking, even if there are officials who do not act, he will still lead the rest of the people forward.

This is not only to show other officials his determination to suppress bandits, but also to ring the countdown to life for the bandits.

And in the midst of these tense arrangements, a simple earthen stove stands out.

The trick of making barbecue on the spot was thought up by Shen Qi.

She felt that since it was stimulating, it should be stimulated a little harder.

So, she found an open space, found someone to build a stove in the open space, and hired a chef to start cooking barbecue.

And it turns out that her strange trick is unexpectedly effective.

Although Liu Changqing once again emphasized that he had to keep an eye on people, he couldn't stand it and still had people running out.

"It's delicious!" The water bandit who sneaked out took a big bite of the pork belly.

After this mouthful, the rich gravy overflowed in the mouth, like a warm current sliding through the tip of the tongue, moisturizing every corner of the taste buds in the mouth of the water bandit.

The water bandits only feel that the taste of spices and the aroma of roast duck are perfectly integrated, with both subtle spicy stimulation and deep sweetness, as if a symphony of taste is staged in the mouth.

"Mrs. Tang, you don't know, how many people in the village want to eat your family's things!" The bandit muttered as he ate.

"If you like to eat, eat more." Shen Qi said with a smile.

"Alas, a few days ago, the lord of Dazhai ordered someone to pour out all the grain you sent, and punished a few people who wanted to eat your rice, and didn't even let us come out to get something." The bandit muttered, "Everyone is very upset about this. ”

"Lord Lin is about to suppress the bandits, do you know?" Shen Qi asked.

"Of course I know." The bandit said, "Don't you think I'm here?" ”

"You're not going back?"

"Of course, the master of Dazhai has spoken, whoever comes to eat your things again should not go back, otherwise one will be arrested and one will be punished."

"Lord Lin said, as long as you haven't killed anyone, the court will give you a chance to reform your ways."

"No, no!" The water bandit hurriedly shook his head, "I haven't killed anyone!" ”

Shen Qi bowed his head and stopped talking.

It's not in vain that she has spent so much money and so much thought, and it is obvious that there will be two if there is one.

Although I was very tired today, I also gained a lot.

That night, Shen Qi returned to Tang's house and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Shen Qi made an appointment with the Ding family to meet in Tingyulou.

Listening to the VIP room of Yulou, Ding Rongda, a member of the Ding family, almost squirted out a mouthful of tea when he heard that Shen Qi had blown himself up.

"Shu ...... Princess Shu Ning ......! ”

Ding Rongda is a man over half a hundred years old, with a round face and a big belly.

The deeds of this Mrs. Tang and Tingyulou can be said to have spread throughout the south, as a woman who can escape death and even jump alive and even jump alive after fighting against the Liu family, Ding Rongda was also curious.

But he never expected it to be Princess Shu Ning.

As soon as Shen Qi's identity was revealed, anyone had to say "no wonder".

"I don't plan to go around the bush, although the Ding family's business is big, it has always been controlled by the Liu family and the bandits, yes or no?" Shen Qi asked.

"It's like that in the South." Ding Rongda said this, and the implication is that the south is like this, except for the south, the Liu family in other places also doesn't count.

"So I came this time for the main purpose, which is to unify the Southern Chamber of Commerce." Shen Qi said.

Ding Rongda understood.

The Southern Chamber of Commerce is not unified, on the surface it is four families, but in fact it is controlled by the Liu family.

People who do business have always paid attention to harmony and wealth, and Changpeng Liu has given very generous treatment, so that several other families can develop in an all-round way in the south, so even if they have a bad heart, they can live in peace.

And if the imperial court wants to unify the Southern Chamber of Commerce, then the suppression of bandits is inevitable.

After suppressing the water bandits and destroying the Liu family, the Chamber of Commerce can naturally be unified under the operation of the imperial court.

"Boss Qin is already your Royal Highness the Princess, right?" Ding Rongda said.

"Not bad." Shen Qi shook his head.

"Where is he at the moment?" Ding Rongda's questions were very sharp.

"Outside Spring Breeze City." Shen Qi said, "So if you are willing to stand in the same boat with me, you will also encounter danger, but I will do my best to save the lives of your whole family." ”

Ding Rongda didn't speak, he thought for a long time.

"And what if the grass people don't want to?"

Shen Qi looked at Ding Rongda.

"I heard that your son has always liked Bai Yunyun, the second daughter of the Bai family, a family of southern medicine, and you have always disagreed with this family business." Shen Qi paused, "For this reason, your son has run away from home three or four times to find Bai Yunyun, and even threatened that she will not marry in this life." ”

Hearing this, Ding Rongda's eyes, which had been calm, finally moved.

As a medical family, the Bai family has a very good reputation in the south.

The three children of the Bai family are all good objects for each family to say goodbye.

A year ago, when his son came home and said that he had fallen in love with the girl of the Bai family, Ding Rongda felt that it was not impossible.

Later, I learned that my son fell in love with Bai Yunyun, the second daughter of the Bai family.

Ding Rongda, who is a father, investigated this Bai Yunyun for the sake of his son's marriage.

The merchant has his own source of information from the merchant in all directions.

Later, I learned that Bai Yunyun was the concubine of the Bai family.

If you are out of the house, you will be out of the house, who will let your son like it, so they will start to talk about kissing.

Unexpectedly, the old lady of the Bai family hadn't spoken yet, and this Bai Yunyun actually refused by herself.

At that time, everyone was drunk and I was sober, cold and arrogant, which made Ding Rongda very unhappy.

Moreover, not long after Bai Yunyun rejected Ding Rongda, he even followed the so-called master to travel all over the world.

What is this?

Their Ding family is also a big family, even in the south, they have never been so embarrassed.

Therefore, Ding Rongda has a very bad impression of this Bai Yunyun.

Back in Ding's house, Ding Rongda told the matter 1510 again, thinking that his son would stand in the same position as him, but he didn't expect that his son actually made a fuss.

"Daddy! It must be that your sincerity is not enough! Ding Yuchi said anxiously.

"What did you say?" Ding Rongda couldn't believe it when he heard this.

"I said that you are not sincere enough, how can Yunyun refuse? We said we want to be together for a lifetime and a couple! Ding Yuchi roared.

"Rebel!" Ding Rongda was so angry that he gave Ding Yuchi a family law that night.

After the family law, Ding Yuchi was also asked to kneel in the ancestral hall of the clan for a day and a night.

This can always make Ding Yuchi more sober, right?

However, Ding Yuchi intensified his efforts to be with Bai Yunyun.

even left Ding's Mansion with the little servant to find Bai Yunyun, but was finally caught by Ding Rongda.

He couldn't wait to break Ding Yuchi's leg, but this was his son.

So, after Ding Yuchi ran away from home for the third time, Ding Rongda completely locked Ding Yuchi up.

This level is closed until now.

Every time he thinks of the pickled things related to his son, Ding Rongda feels irritable.

But at this moment, in front of Princess Shu Ning, the horse master on the side was still staring, and Ding Rongda naturally didn't dare to show his face.

He remained silent.

He didn't know why Shen Qi knew about their family's affairs, after all, he was Princess Shu Ning, and it was not difficult to investigate these things.

After a long time, Ding Rongda finally spoke.

"What does Her Royal Highness mean?"

"Bai Yunyun was arrested in Meichuan City for using addictive drugs banned by the imperial court to harm the people." Shen Qi said.

In fact, Shen Qi himself didn't expect that the breakthrough of the Ding family would be this Bai Yunyun.

This is also thanks to Cui Yushu, a new guy from Tingyulou.

Yes.

After this guy learned to listen to all the types of work in Yulou besides cooking, his favorite thing on weekdays is to ask gossip.

He seemed to be a hermit who had lived in the mountains all his life and had never experienced the human world, and he was full of curiosity about the whole world in front of him.

Therefore, his favorite job is to run the hall.

As he ran, he would naturally bring the side dishes ordered by the guests and talk to them.

He has a beautiful face and is very polite, so most of the guests will talk to him at some point.

Over time, he was able to distinguish between what kind of guests could sit down and talk slowly, and what kind of guests would not be easy to deal with.

Until one day, after chatting with the guests with half a box of melon seeds, he shook his head and muttered in his mouth.

"It's really rare to have such a deep affection."

"Who is affectionate?" Shen Qi asked casually on the side.

So, Cui Yushu told the story he heard that the eldest young master of the Ding family loved the daughter of the Bai family.

Coincidentally, isn't it?

So Shen Qi immediately made a decision and contacted Ding Rongda.

That's where we are now.

When Ding Rongda heard this, his originally somewhat gloomy expression seemed to be sunny after a rain.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, seriously?" Ding Rongda asked.

"Naturally, she is now locked up in Meichuan City, and what she has done is known to almost everyone in Meichuan City." Shen Qi said, "And your son's situation may be because of what Bai Yunyun did." ”

When Ding Rongda heard this, a cold sweat suddenly flowed down.

Their Ding family has been passed down for three generations, and Ding Yuchi is the only seedling who wants to inherit the family business!

If Ding Yuchi has any mistakes, how can he be worthy of the ancestors of the Ding family!

He immediately stood up and threw a deep swipe at Shen Qi.

"As long as the son of the grass people can return to normal, the grass people will be a member of His Highness's boat."

Shen Qi shook his head.

She walked up to Ding Rongda, and her phoenix eyes revealed a trace of firm faith.

"Ding Rongda." Her tone became serious.

Ding Rongda was slightly shocked, and suddenly felt the majestic aura that only the royal family can have, and he bowed in response, and his tone couldn't help but bring more respect.

"Your Highness."

"In the future, every piece of clothing of your Ding family will be worn on the body of the frontier soldiers, shielding them from the wind and rain, and absorbing the cold and heat."

Every word in Shen Qi's sentence seemed to carry a thousand catties of weight, which could not be seen or touched, but Ding Rongda couldn't stand up for a while.

Although Ding Rongda's business is extensive, it has never involved the military, let alone the warmth and heat dissipation of the soldiers.

What a responsibility!

Ding Rongda didn't dare to answer all of a sudden.

"You've got to think about it." Shen Qi said.

She didn't force Ding Rongda, even if she solved the other party's thoughts, she gave the other party enough time to think about it.

"Grass people remember."

After speaking, Ding Rongda retreated.

After the person left, Shen Qi breathed a sigh of relief.
