    An Xiaoshun looked at the red coral being carried up with an expression of surprise.

    Li Minglou said: "I didn't know the birthday of Little Governor An when I came here. Now I'll make up for it with a congratulatory gift, please accept Little Governor An."

    There is no need to make up for the birthday gift later. An Xiaoshun should have refused, but when he saw the dazzling red coral that filled the room when the cover was lifted, he couldn't say no.

    If Ande Zhong knew that such a good gift was rejected by him, he would definitely be beaten to death.

    "Mrs. Wu spent a lot of money." He thanked her with a haha, "It's better to obey my orders than to be respectful."

    Li Minglou said: "This is a happy event, so congratulations."

    The red coral was covered again, blocking the eyes of surprise, envy and intoxication, allowing the chief clerk and other officials to come back to their senses.

    With such a great gift in hand, An Xiaoshun had no intention or intention of staying. He thanked the chief clerk for the invitation and set off immediately: "There are still many gifts to give in return, so I don't dare and cannot delay."

    Jiedushi's entourage was also a big shot, and it was already a good thing to set foot in Dou County. The chief secretary did not ask him to stay longer, and happily sent An Xiaoshun out.

    The red coral was carefully packaged and loaded on the truck by the merchant himself. An Xiaoshun did not forget to bring the snacks sent by the chief secretary. The chief secretary led a group of officials to deliver them to the city gate in person, and by the way, he promoted An Xiaoshun's identity. The governor of Western Zhejiang Province also  When sending people to Dou County, there is no need to explain clearly why they came, the identity is enough to make the people feel more at ease.

    Of course, An Xiaoshun's intention to come spread, and the people were not disappointed when they learned that they were not sending troops to assist Dou County in suppressing bandits.

    "Coming to give a gift in return also means that the Jiedu envoy in western Zhejiang knows about our Dou County."

    "Even if he just responded casually according to the gift list, he would definitely know it next, because Mrs. Wu gave him a rare treasure as a belated gift."

    "I saw it. The merchant drove a car and hired more than a dozen escorts. The car was filled with money."

    "He is the slowest seller, but he makes the biggest profit. He said he will come again to find more rare treasures for Mrs. Wu."

    A new round of discussions and legends arose surrounding Mrs. Wu Shao, the military governor of western Zhejiang, and Dou County, a merchant who made a fortune.

    Li Minglou didn't care about these discussions. The house behind the county government office was as quiet as ever. When Yuanji came back, Li Minglou had already eaten. Jinju placed tea and snacks in front of Yuanji, and then led the woman to the other side.  Drink tea and read stories in the hall.

    "Three days before An Xiaoshun came in, a total of ninety-eight new people came to Dou County," Yuan Ji said.

    Although the bandits have not been truly suppressed so far, the people have not been trapped in the military camp all the time. With the arrival of Zhu Tong, they are constantly being taken out for patrols and explorations.

    Their activities are not limited to Dou County, but extend to the surrounding areas.

    Since the bandit incident in Dou County was well known to everyone, the officials and people in other places welcomed them and they were able to travel freely wherever they went.

    Before An Xiaoshun entered Dou County, Yuanji already knew about it.

    Li Minglou looked through the stack of rosters on his desk, nodded to Yuanji, and pointed to the refreshments in front of him: "Uncle Yuanji, eat some first."

    Having done so many things in a short period of time, Yuan Ji was too busy to eat yet, but Li Minglou didn't let him go to eat first because the matter was urgent. It was okay to have some refreshments.

    There is nothing unaccustomed to this. Yuanji thought of the days when he followed Li Fengan to fight in the Anxi Protectorate. At that time, everyone would inevitably sleep in the open air, eat dry food and drink snow water while riding on their horses.

    Although Li Minglou has eaten, his heart has been wandering.

    It¡¯s not easy to earn what you have now, and it¡¯s not easy to keep it all either.

    Yuanji lowered his head, picked up a piece of snack and put it into his mouth, and took another sip of hot tea. His voice was a little slurred: "About eighteen people were screened and found to have suspicious identities. Some went to the military camp, some worked as strong men, and some pretended to be disabled and wandered around.  Weak, today An Xiaoshun came to the county government office, and eight of the eighteen people also came over to spy on the county government office."

    Li Minglou looked at the names on the paper. There was nothing special about them mixed in different registrations. When they were singled out and written together, he could see the problem. They were about the same age, with neat figures and similar accents.

    "This is inevitable. In fact, they came much later than I thought." She said, "There is nothing we can't see here, just keep an eye on them."

    Yuan Ji nodded and responded: "Zhu Tong, don't worry. He likes the good days now and no longer wants to drive us away. Instead, he advises us to wait until the spring comes and the flowers bloom before we go. He also euphemistically said that there is Mobei.  Young Madam Kuhan will suffer a lot if she goes there."

    Li Minglou smiled and did not say anythingtalk.

    "There is no problem with the county government. Everything can be done in their name. The chief registrar is very willing to help." Yuan Ji said, looking at Li Minglou and smiling slightly, "Everyone likes the young lady very much."

    There is no love without reason in this world. Li Minglou doesn't care how she got this love. She only needs their love and she can stay here legitimately.

    "What's the news about Han Xu?" Li Minglou asked.

    Yuan Ji shook his head: "Zhonghou sent people to keep an eye on Han Xu. Han Xu has left the capital to go back to his hometown to visit his mother and is still on the way."

    This time is much later than in the previous life, because Li Mingyu became the governor in advance, and many details have changed.

    It seems that Han Xu will not be able to come before the New Year. Since he is visiting his mother, he has to celebrate the New Year. Will the Xuanwu Dao military rebellion arranged by Ande Zhong also be postponed?  Did Ande Zhong become obsessed with pretending to be a bandit because he failed to lurk once?  It has been so long, there is no movement due to the military chaos, and bandits keep appearing.

    But that¡¯s fine, the more bandits there are, the better chance she has of establishing a firm foothold in Dou County and expanding outward.

    When Yuanji saw the corners of Li Minglou's mouth curled up, he couldn't help but relax his brows and eat some snacks, so as not to disturb the little girl's good mood.

    But unfortunately, footsteps came quickly from outside.

    "Madam, something happened in the military camp." The person standing outside the door said.

    As dusk fell, the lights of the county government office were already on, and suddenly a group of people came and cast chaotic shadows on the ground.

    "I want to see the young lady."

    "shut up."

    "It's the people in the military camp."

    "It was said that someone was injured in the fight."

    "Ah, why don't you drive us out of Dou County? Why do you bother me, Madam? These people are not very good at doing errands."

    "The young lady said she wanted to see him. Alas, the young lady is like a fairy. She will always answer anyone's request."

    The crowd that came over started talking and surrounding the county government office. Lao Han, who was squatting on the corner of the street, was suddenly overwhelmed by the crowd. When he was about to stand up, Wu Ya'er reached out to hold him down.

    ¡°There are so many people and it¡¯s chaotic now, it¡¯s a good time to go in.¡± Old Han whispered.

    Wu Yaer shook his head: "Look ahead first."

    He stood up and followed the crowd towards the gate of the county government office. Old Han wanted to make a joke but felt it was inappropriate and pushed the idea back.

    People crowded to the gate of the county government office but failed to get in. Only Minzhuang, who was tied up, was carried in.

    The lights in the county government hall were bright, and the official on duty was uneasy and angry. For the first time, he lost his temper with the people in the military camp: "Why should such a trivial matter disturb the young lady? Letting such a person act in front of the young lady, wouldn't it mean that the young lady is being disturbed?"  Madam, is it embarrassing? Isn¡¯t there Mr. Zhu in the military camp? There are military laws and regulations, just deal with it."

    "He was too violent and had a weapon." The visitor explained.

    "He has weapons, how can you still not beat him with so many people?" The officer on duty was even more angry.

    The visitor¡¯s attitude was still kind: ¡°He doesn¡¯t want to fight us, he wants to commit suicide.¡±

    What?  The official looked at Minzhuang who was being held down in the hall. Minzhuang was held down by two guards. He was half-kneeling on the ground with his head bowed. His hair was messy and covered his face. He looked very young.

    "Do you want to see me?" Li Minglou came out from behind, "What's the matter?"

    The officials were busy greeting each other but before they could say anything, Minzhuang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly jumped up. The two guards who were holding him down were thrown away. Exclamations rang out in the hall. Fang Er, who was standing next to Li Minglou, stepped out in one step.  , but that Minzhuang didn't pounce, he just jumped up and landed, flicking his hair to reveal his face.

    This is a young man of about twenty years old, with handsome appearance and eyes as bright as stars. The stars shine as he looks at the woman shrouded in darkness.

    "Young madam, I'm here to ask you to reward me." He said loudly.

    It was him. Wu Yaer, who was standing outside the county government office among the crowd watching the excitement, recognized this young man. He was really obsessed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
