Hearing this voice, Li Zheng was stunned at first, and the murderous intent on his face immediately turned into a kind smile.

He raised his head and smiled and said to the person who came, "It turns out it is Song Qianhu. Song Qianhu is not resting at home, so why did he come here? Is there something wrong?"

Before following Yang Feng, Song Ye was originally a military household in the Qianhu Station of Jiangdongmen. In addition to his parents, he also had two sisters. The family of five had never had a full meal all year round.

Since becoming a servant of Yang Feng, not only has the whole family been having a full meal, but even his wife has married. Last year, his wife gave birth to a son for him, making his parents happy.

However, he followed Yang Feng all year round and could go home every year. After returning this time, he issued the official documents of the Ministry of War and Yang Feng's handwritten order to Li Zheng, he originally wanted to stay and help Li Zheng with the material raising work, but Li Zheng persuaded him to go home on the grounds that he could come back every year and quickly go home to fulfill his filial piety.

So Li Zheng didn't expect that Song Ye, who should have returned tomorrow and the next day, would appear here in the middle of the night.

Li Zheng, who showed a mixed embarrassment on his face, barely smiling with surprise, strode towards him and said with a smile: "Song Qianhu, why did you run over in the middle of the night? Could it be that you have something to worry about me, Lao Li?"

Logically speaking, as the commander of the third-rank Jiangning Guard, Li Zheng is level 4 higher than Song Ye, a fifth-rank Qianhou. It is already very worthy of giving Song Ye a smile on weekdays, but Song Ye's identity is not only a small Qianhou, but also a servant head next to the Duke.

As the saying goes, the officials in the prime minister's mansion are all seventh-rank officials. Don't you see that in modern society, even if the county magistrate's secretary goes to the grassroots level, the towns and townsmen will go out to greet each other, let alone the confidant of the prince.

Song Ye smiled: "Mr. Li doesn't have to do this. The officials have visited their parents and their wives and children. They feel relieved when they see that there is nothing wrong at home. However, before leaving, the Duke of the State had instructed that this expedition is of great importance. Jiangning Wei must prepare the expedition within three days, so the officials have to come and take a look, otherwise they will be unsure."

"Oh... that's right." Li Zheng forced a smile, "Song Qianhu is intent, just don't worry. Before noon tomorrow, I will definitely prepare all the supplies and will never make any forks."

"Is that true?"

Song Ye smiled faintly, glanced at the faces of more than ten officers in the hall, and saw everyone's expressions. He nodded.

"Okay, since Lord Li has said that, the officials will not overstep their affairs. Then, what do you think about the officials coming here at noon tomorrow?"

"Don't worry, if something goes wrong, I will have no shame to see the prince." Li Zheng slapped his chest with a thump.

"Um!"

Song Ye nodded, "Since that's the case, then the official will not disturb Lord Li, say goodbye!"

Seeing that Song Ye was finally leaving, Li Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Send me away!"

"Oh...by the way."

Song Ye, who had turned around and walked for two steps, suddenly stopped and patted his head with a look of annoyance, "I almost forgot something, Li Xu is about you."

"Ah..." Li Ge was stunned.

"Li experience." Song Ye said to Li Ge: "Before coming, the Duke asked me to ask you, have you prepared the jade ore for this time? The Duke was very anxious."

Li Ge was slightly stunned. Although Song Ye was the head of Yang Feng's servant, he knew the right way. He never cared about other things except for his own business. It was because of this that he could gain Yang Feng's trust. But what happened to him today? He actually intervened in business affairs?

However, Li Ge is also a smart man. After being slightly stunned at first, he met Song Ye's eyes less than two seconds, and then he understood that he had something to say to himself. His face immediately showed a sudden realization: "Oh... you are talking about the batch of ores in Myanmar. They were ready last month. Now they have been placed in the warehouse and can be taken away at any time. Do you want to check it now?"

Song Ye showed a hint of embarrassment: "Then the relationship is good, and now I have time, so I'll ask Li Juan to go and have a look with me. The commander, the official and Li Juan went out to do something for the Duke. Is there any problem?"

"Caughter...you come to ask me under the banner of the Duke. Do you dare to say no?"

Li Zheng cursed in his heart, but his face was full of smiles: "Of course there is no problem. Song Qianhu is going to do it, so the Duke's affairs are important."

"That's it, the commander will be busy first, and the subordinates will leave first!"

Looking at the two figures disappearing at the door, Li Zheng, who was originally smiling, immediately looked dark, and he clenched his right fist and slapped the table hard, making a muffled sound.

Looking at Li Zheng's face that was so heavy that he could almost twist out water, the more than ten officers in front of him did not even dare to breathe. After a long time, a thousand-household official said tremblingly: "Mr. Commander, the Duke is about to arrive, but our supplies have not been prepared yet, and Li Ge is always silly disobeying him. What should we do?"

Li Zheng cursed: "Are you stupid? You still ask me about this? Didn't you hear me just say that I have to raise all the food and supplies by noon tomorrow. Li Ge thought that if he didn't give us the money, we would have no way to raise supplies? He underestimated me too much."

After sneering twice, Li Zheng said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, you have followed me, Mr. Li, over the years, and you have made a lot of money one by one. It's not a problem to eat and drink delicious food on weekdays. Some even have married several concubines.

Now that there is something wrong, you should also put some effort into it. Now that things have reached this point, you two don’t want to run away. This way, you all go back later, and each one will take out 5,000 taels of silver and hand it over to me. Let’s go to Jinling overnight to buy food and grass. Be sure to fill the gap before noon tomorrow. Do you understand?"

"Each person is four thousand taels?"

When Li Zheng heard that he was 4,000 taels per person, many people showed hesitation on their faces. This money was enough to buy a good house in Jinling City and then buy a beautiful concubine.

"A bunch of idiots!"

Seeing these people looking distressed, Li Zheng felt angry and strode over and slapped President Qian who had just spoken.
