Manager Mo grabbed Yin and left with a sneer. Two strong men behind him glared at Erniu fiercely. One of them raised his foot and kicked a stool over, then turned around and walked out of the store.

Erniu was furious and picked up a bench and was about to chase him out and beat him. Xu Jin quickly reached out and stopped him, shouting: "Eniu, put down the bench, this is not a broken fight in the village."

Erniu put down the bench in disappointment and buzzed, "Bastard, I will come and make trouble next time. I will break your legs."

Xiao Nuer raised his thumbs up in admiration and praised: "Big silly bull, good-looking, you're so brave today!"

Erniu scratched his head and laughed!

Xu Jin frowned, pulled Xie Xiaowan's hand, and asked with concern: "Xiaowan, aren't you hurt?"

Xie Xiaowan felt warm in her heart, shook her head and said, "Honey, I'm fine, just Erniu was a little injured, and our guests were scared away."

Erniu waved his fist as he was so big that he said majestic: "If I hadn't been afraid of breaking the things in the store, I would have beaten those bastards out of shit."

Fei Maozhong said angrily: "It's outrageous. A small manager under King Ning is so arrogant."

"My husband, then the manager Mo is from King Ning, what should we do in the future?" Xie Xiaowan looked worried. In her eyes, King Ning is a noble prince. How can she afford to offend her family? Moreover, the sheep shop is the source of income for the family. I don't know if those people will come to make trouble again in the future.

Xu Jin comforted, "Don't be afraid, they dare not do anything, Erniu, don't go back to the village for the time being. If those people come to make trouble again next time, you don't have to be polite and beat them to death. If something happens, Uncle Ten will bear it."

Erniu pinched his fists and said, "Okay, they dare to come again next time. Erniu promised to let them come in vertically and go out horizontally."

Fei Maoxian frowned and said, "Brother Xu, although it is a bad idea to fight head-on, there is nothing I can do about it. Why don't I ask the mansion to transfer two guards to help?"

"Thank you to the people of good intentions, but it shouldn't be necessary."

Xu Jin politely rejected Fei Maoxian's proposal. With Xiaowan's skills and Erniu's help, seven or eight strong men could not do anything. What's more, if Prince Ning didn't follow the rules, it would be useless to have two more guards. In addition, these two guards would have to arrange food and accommodation when they came. The place here was narrow and could not tolerate it.

Erniu suddenly said, "Uncle Shi, if I don't go back to the village, who will notify the village of you about going back to worship your ancestors?"

Fei Maozhong said: "This is simple. I will send Dabao to ride a horse tomorrow. This kid is smart and I will probably be able to go back and forth in one day!"

The speed of riding a horse is much faster than that of a ox cart, and it is indeed possible to travel back and forth in one day within a sixty or seventy miles.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "If you have to suffer the trouble, please let Dabao bring a message to the patriarch of our village. I will return to the village on the eighth day of the fifth day."

Since I received a letter from Yugan County before, Xiaowan's two brothers would probably be in Shangrao County in the past few days, so Xu Jin planned to return to the village to worship his ancestors after receiving his two brothers-in-law.

...

On the second day of May, it has been three days since the government test results were released. The lively Shangrao County began to return to its usual appearance. Candidates from various counties left one after another, and soon the Dragon Boat Festival was coming, and they were all rushing home to celebrate the festival.

As the candidates left, the name of Xu's desk leader and the poem of persuasion were spread throughout Guangxin Prefecture, and even to the nearby prefectures, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and Xu Jin's name was also placed on the desk of King Ning.

At this time, in Fei Honghong's study, the maid Hongying took out after brewing tea.

Fei Hong stroked his beard and smiled, "Xiao Xu, this is the newly picked rain-for-longjing this year. It was sent by his former colleague who worked in Lin'an Prefecture not long ago. You can try it too!"

Longjing is one of the top ten famous teas in China. Its origin is in the Suzhou and Hangzhou area. The quality of picking before the Grain Rain is the best. It is only early May, and Grain Rain is mid-April, so it is indeed a new tea that cannot be new.

As the saying goes, new tea and old wine, the older the wine becomes, the more mellow the tea becomes, and the more fresh the tea becomes, the more fragrant it becomes. Xu Jin picked up the tea cup and smelled it. He felt that the quiet tea fragrance penetrated his lungs and couldn't help but blurt out: "Good tea, today the students have been completely covered by Master Fei. If Master Fei has too many on his hands, can he be more even in the students!"

You should know that there are no aroma additives now, they are all pure natural handmade products. In addition, the current ecological environment is hundreds of streets beyond modern times, and the mountains and waters produce good tea. Xu Jin liked to drink tea in his previous life, and he drank top-notch tea. Before the rain, Longjing naturally drank a lot, and it often cost thousands of yuan or more than ten thousand pounds, but it seemed that it was not as good as the cup in front of him, so he was so happy that he asked for it.

Fei Hong and Fei Cai couldn't help laughing, and the former even laughed and scolded: "Minsuo is right. You kid are used to climbing up the pole. Now you snatch me up the food. Well, Hongying, go and give Xiao Xu two taels of Longjing before the rain!"

"Yes, sir!" The maid Hongying responded outside the study door.

Xu Jin publicly rejected Ning Xiang's clan's cage at the private banquet of the prefect Lu the day before yesterday, and completely drew a clear line. I wonder what would Wang Ning Zhu Chenhao feel when he saw this sarcastic poem?

Thinking of this, everyone in the Fei family felt very happy. After being bullied by King Ning for so long, he finally let out a breath for a while!

Fei Hong naturally valued his favorite disciple more, and he had no idea about his talent and character, so he even took out the new tea that his old friend had just sent to share with Xu Jin.

"Tsk tsk, brother, you are biased. I didn't get some new tea from you the day before yesterday. Now I'm giving Xiao Xu Yun two taels!" Fei Cai said with a smile.

Fei Hong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll look at my little inventory, and you can do it with two taels!"

"That brother will be rich with Xiao Xu!" Fei Cai joked.

We have a close relationship with each other, speak a lot more casually, and become more friendly and harmonious.

After taking a sip of tea, Fei Hong asked with concern: "Minsuohe Minxian came back yesterday and said, "A manager under Prince Ning came to your store to cause trouble?"

Xu Jin nodded and said, "I didn't know that the manager was under King Ning before. The student talked to him about engraving books and the deposit was delivered. However, he had already returned the money yesterday and he had obtained the manuscript."

"Oh, so that's it!" Fei Hongqing frowned and said, "Xiao Xu, you have publicly offended Prince Ning now, and that "Qinghunting Picture" has a great influence. I am afraid that even King Ning will hold a grudge against you. Be more careful in the future, otherwise you will not open that small shop."

Xu Jin said: "If you have labor and expenses, the students will pay attention to it. It is just that the sheep shop is the only source of income in the family. If it is closed, life will be unsustainable in the future!"

Fei Hong and Fei Cai were both silent when they heard this. Indeed, food is the most important thing for the people, and it is not enough to cut off the source of income. Recently, the Fei family's industry in Qianshan County has been damaged by the thieves and their income has almost been cut off. If the family had not had some savings at home, it would have been difficult to maintain the livelihood of dozens of people.

"By the way, I wonder how Governor Sun's bandit suppression in Qianshan County is progressing?" Xu Jin said with a different topic.

In Xu Jin's view, it has been nearly two months since the beginning of March. Governor Sun used 10,000 official troops to encircle and suppress hundreds of bandits, and it should be easy to wipe out.

However, Fei Hong said with a serious expression: "Governor Sun made little progress in suppressing bandits. The bandits led by Wu Sanba, Li Zhen and Zhou Boling gathered nearly a thousand people, entrenched in the dense forest of Qianshan Mountain, and were elusive.

Although Governor Sun holds a 10,000 army, it is still difficult to block Qianshan Mountain, so there is no way to deal with these thieves in a short period of time."

In ancient times, there were inconvenient transportation, high mountains and dense forests, and there were too many places with few people. In addition, there were few bandits in general and were familiar with the local environment, so suppressing bandits has always been a headache for the government army.

Xu Jin frowned slightly and said, "Shi Fei said that there are nearly a thousand bandits, it is not a small number to gather such a group of people. The daily consumption of food and drink is huge, and it is impossible to find no trace. Moreover, the official army does not need to enter the mountain at all. Just block the road into the mountain and cut off the source of food."

Fei Cai nodded and said, "What Xiao Xu said is very true. Governor Sun has also adopted this strategy, but it has been two months and the results are still very small!"

Xu Jin was moved and blurted out: "That's how the bandits were prepared for this. They had accumulated a lot of food, or Governor Sun's blockade was not tight, so the thieves got the food."

Fei Hong nodded and said, "Cheng Mountain is more than ten miles in a radius, with high mountains and dense forests, and it is indeed difficult to completely block it!"

Xu Jin's mind flashed, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, and suddenly said, "Sir Fei, the price of grain and medicinal materials in Shangrao County has increased recently, and some of the injured medicines have been sold out!"

Fei Hong and Fei Cai looked at each other and obviously understood what Xu Jin meant, and some people were purchasing large quantities of food and medicine.

Originally, in this time when the price of food is not connected, it is normal for food to rise, but it is abnormal for medicinal materials to rise.

"Xiao Xu, what do you mean is someone secretly purchasing grain in Shangrao County to give it to the thieves?" Fei Hong's eyes flashed.

Xu Jin nodded and said, "The students live opposite Hengfeng Carriage. Recently, I will hear some movement occasionally in the middle of the night!"

Fei Hong and Fei Cai are both smart people, and Xu Jin understood at a glance.

Fei Cai said excitedly: "Brother, it's probably because King Ning's people secretly purchased food and drugs to support the bandits, so that they can last for so long."

Fei Hong nodded. Although there was no direct evidence, most of the thieves who were harmed in the Qianshan area colluded with King Ning. Now the prefect Lu Kang has defected to King Ning again. It is not easy for King Ning’s men to transport food and medicine out of the city in the middle of the night?

"Brother, let us notify Governor Xun immediately and ask him to send someone to block the city gate, cut off the source of food for the bandits, and then clear the people who are thieves in the city!" Fei Cai's tone was a sensation. Ties were a serious crime. Once found out, a group of people would lose their official positions and a group of people would lose their heads.

The soldiers guarding the city here are unreliable. If they want to block the Shangrao County, Governor Sun will naturally send someone to him.

Fei Hong nodded and said, "Okay, I will write a book and send it to Governor Sun immediately!"
