Qin Qi and Lu Kang drank and talked all night in the city lord's mansion, and didn't get up to say goodbye until dawn.

After a night of chatting, Qin Qi understood the situation.

Lu Kang also just arrived in Lujiang and took office not long ago, which was about the same time as Qin Qi took office as the prefect of Jiangxia.

Before taking office, Lu Kang served as governor in Lingling, Guiyang, Changsha and other places.

Lujiang is a good place. Under Lu Kang's governance, it will develop very well in a few years. In addition, the terrain is flat and the population is large.

But what?

Once the world is in chaos, Lujiang will become the object of competition among the princes.

Fatty!

If nothing else, it will still be Yuan Shu who takes the initiative.

With Qin Qi in this plane, Sun Ce will not be allowed to take over Lujiang easily, let alone Sun Ce to snatch Da Qiao.

Jiangdong Little Overlord!

Arrive at Duke Qiao's house.

The tall gatehouse is worthy of being called a wealthy family.

Mr. Qiao is definitely a big family in the Yangtze River area and has great influence.

"Lao Dian, come forward and knock on the door."

Qin Qi said.

Boom, boom, boom!

He opened a small door, exposed his head, and took a closer look at Qin Qi and others, especially Dian Wei's appearance.

The other person was so frightened that his body trembled.

"Who are you looking for?"

The servant who opened the door stammered.

"My name is Qin Qi, Qin Xingbang, the prefect of Jiangxia. I'm here specifically to visit Duke Qiao. Please let me know."

Qin Qi said.

"Hold on!"

Bang!

The door was closed, and Qin Qi and others could only wait outside.

At Duke Qiao’s Mansion:

"Sir, Qin Qi, the prefect of Jiangxia, came with some fierce-looking people, saying he wanted to visit the master."

The way of humanity.

Governor of Jiangxia!

I don’t know you!

Duke Qiao has been living in seclusion for many years and has not served as an official in the court. When he heard that the eunuch was coming, he wanted to see him.

Mr. Qiao was puzzled as to why he came all the way to see me, but he seemed to have no conflict with Qin Qi.

I've heard of Qin Qi's name. She got a position as a prefect by offering exquisite wine to the emperor.

To put it bluntly, it is no different from buying an official position.

But what?

It seems that Qin Qi is a disciple of Cai Yong, a great scholar. This status is more convenient than the position of prefect, and Confucian scholars prefer her.

Qiao Gong was a great scholar of his generation and was acquainted with Cai Yong, Lu Zhi and others. In the past, Qiao Gong was also a member of the officialdom.

Duke Qiao quickly walked out with his servants and asked people to open the middle door to welcome Qin Qi and others.

Guchi!

The middle door is wide open.

Qin Qi raised her head and glanced.

A middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in Confucian uniform, with bright eyes and a scholarly scent.

He is about 1.70 meters tall and a bit fat.

He has a gentle face and is a charitable middle-aged man.

Qin Qi was slightly startled!

Aren’t the old men in movies and TV always gray-haired?

Why are you so young!

Damn it!

It’s a bit different from what I imagined!

"Boy Qin Qi, Qin Xingbang, have met Mr. Qiao!"

Qin Qi quickly bowed and saluted.

Duke Qiao stepped aside and only accepted a half-ceremony.

"Master Qin, what kind of wind brings you to this humble abode and makes it glow with green leaves?"

Joe is fair.

The ceremony ended with both parties.

Qin Qi handed over the gift.

"Master Qin, what kind of gift are you bringing? It's too foreign."

Mr. Qiao pretended.

"Mr. Qiao, I came in a hurry. I have nothing to bring. They are all food and common things. Please accept them, Mr. Qiao."

Qin Qi said.

"Master Qin, please!"

Joe is fair.

Entering the living room of Qiao Mansion, the guests and hosts sat down.

"Master Qin, this is not the best wine passed down by the emperor, is it?"

Joe is fair.

Damn it!

It's just a small amount of white wine, but it's not that good of a wine. It's just trying to fool the emperor.

As a gift to Mr. Qiao, Qin Qi did not dare to bring out famous wines such as Wuliangye and Maotai, for fear that word would spread.

Once the emperor finds out, things will be very troublesome.

But what?

Xiaobaijiu is definitely considered a peerless wine in this era.

hehe!

"Mr. Qiao, don't call me sir. I'm just a junior. You can just call me by any given name. Calling me sir or kid is shabby."

Qin Qi said.

"Mr. Qiao, this wine is the peerless wine in the emperor's mouth. There is also a piece of paper called copperplate paper.

Different from Cai Lun paper, there are also a few pieces of soap. The soap is not much different from the soap bags that Mr. Qiao usually uses."

Qin Qi added.

Duke Qiao was extremely surprised.

The old man knows that this gift is of great value. If it is sold to others, it will cost tens of millions.

"Xingbang, the gift is too expensive. I have no virtue or ability. I am worried about accepting such an expensive gift!"

Old man Qiao said.

Qin Qi almost cursed.

So hypocritical!

On the surface, he said he didn't dare, but in his heart he was overjoyed.

Old man Qiao picked up the snow-white paper and took it out, looking at it from left to right and looking at it as if he couldn't put it down.

"Xingbang, thank you very much."

Old man Qiao said.
