The Record of Righteousness

Chapter 155 Meeting Qi Gong Again

Only five days later, Wan Qing personally led the factory guards to arrive at Shuntian Mansion, covered in dust.

When the Qi family heard about it, the old man Qi Gong took his son Qi Shufeng and a group of confidants and went out of the city gate to greet him personally.

Everyone had been waiting for an hour in the cold wind, and when they almost couldn't hold on any longer, they saw a team suddenly appear on the winding road in the distance.

There was a group of servants in brocade clothes at the front holding embroidered flags and lace caps engraved with the two characters "Dongchang".

The guards on both sides were wearing iron armor, carrying Dongchang's standard double swords, riding tall horses, and wearing helmets. You could tell at a glance that they were Dongchang's factory guards.

With just two sticks of incense, this gorgeous team slowly walked in front of everyone.

At first glance, there are eight strong men in the middle carrying a bright red sedan chair.

The sedan chair was crimson in color, with a sunshade cloth embroidered with beautiful auspicious clouds on the top.

On the sedan chair, I saw a senior official wearing a scarlet robe and a three-mountain hat. It was quite cold, but he was very thinly dressed.

This man's face was pale and beardless, there was a sinister air between his brows, and his eyes were full of coldness and cruelty.

One of his arms rested on the armrest and his chin was resting, while the other hand was holding a handkerchief. A closer look revealed that his palms were thin and strong, and the nails on his ring finger and little finger were as sharp as sharp knives, making him look lazy. looking down at everyone.

Seeing this, Qi Gong did not kneel down to prostrate, but leaned forward and slowly clasped his fists and said:

"Young man, please pay your respects to the Lords of the Thousand Households of Dongchang!"

The rest of the people knelt down and worshiped.

After all, even when Qi Gong was in front of Li Ruxi and Eunuch Li, he just saluted. Now that he could go out and salute Wan Qing, it was already a great honor for him.

I think back then, Wanqing was just a wandering, bereaved dog who suffered betrayal.

It was with Qigong's recommendation that he was able to work in Dongchang on errands, and he jumped from a small factory guard in Dongchang to the one responsible for thousands of households.

However, today is different from the past, and the due etiquette must be indispensable. Being able to become the capable general of the Admiral of Dongchang shows that this person has some scheming and means, so he should win over him!

Qi Gong had just saluted, but he hadn't seen clearly how Wan Qing got off the sedan in front of him.

He only felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and a pair of strong arms helped him up without any doubt. When he looked up, he saw Wan Qing smiling and saying:

"How can Mr. Qi call himself a commoner? Isn't this a disgrace to our family? You're welcome. Please get up quickly."

"It's only been two years since we last met Qi Lao, but your body is still strong and strong. We are really flattered that you can stand here to greet us in such a cold weather."

"My lord, you are so complimentary. I am old and my bones are useless. If you don't come here, I will have to go back home to warm myself up."

Qi Gong took advantage of the situation and was kindly supported by Wan Qing. He called two servants to bring a large wooden plate with a red cloth wrapped on it. It was visually estimated that there was at least a thousand taels of silver.

These taels of silver are just a drop in the bucket for the wealthy Qi family.

"This is a small gift from the little old man, please accept it."

"Hey, Mr. Qi, it's time to see someone outside."

Wan Qing was polite to Na Qigong, and finally reluctantly let his subordinates accept the money.

Qi Shufeng was also a thoughtful person. He stepped forward and said:

"It's very cold outside the house, and the common people have already prepared wine and food in the restaurant to welcome the wind and wash away the dust."

"These brothers under your lord have worked hard all the way, and the common people have also prepared resting places in other post houses."

Wan Qing nodded. Although they didn't spend much time traveling along the way, the factory guards under them were inevitably tired. It would be great to have a good rest now. It was quite heart-wrenching for the family to have a good rest now. Comfortable.

"In that case, it's time to work."

After starting the work, Qi Shufeng and his son both stretched out their hands and made a gesture:

"please!"

Wan Qing gently cupped his fists and bowed, smiled and said in return:

"please!"

Wan Qing went to the banquet alone and asked Long Shuo and Leng Tiancun to go to the post office to discipline those people so that they wouldn't cause any trouble.

This time they wanted to take action against the Bai family, so Wan Qing asked the father and son for news about the Bai family in the eating and drinking room.

It turns out that the Bai family has been pressing harder and harder recently, and they have been trying to overthrow the Qi family. The Bai family dominates the arms smuggling business, and the two behemoths fight openly and secretly, causing the Qi family to lose at least hundreds of thousands of silver coins.

Although this was not much for the Qi family, the amount of money Qi Gong paid to Dongchang dropped sharply, and the high-ranking figures in Dongchang were very dissatisfied.

Just a few days ago, Qi Gong had written several letters to Cao Taiqing, the admiral of Dongchang, asking him to take action to put an end to the Bai family's idiotic plaster. Now he is looking forward to the arrival of thousands of households.

In the past few days, the Bai family has been quite quiet. Qishufeng sent someone to inquire secretly, but they heard that the Bai family was planning a wedding for Bai Gaohan these days.

This Bai Gaohan is the grandson of Bai Xiaoru, the head of the Bai family. He is now 17 years old, and his wedding has been scheduled early.

Bai Xiaoru has three sons and three daughters.

The eldest son is named Bai Zhesong. He is not involved in literary and official career, but is good at merchant accounts. He is over forty and has managed the escort agency in an orderly manner. He is preparing to take over the family business from his father. He is also Bai Gaohan's biological father.

The second child, named Bai Zhelan, was originally a minor official in Qingping County, Dengzhou, Shandong Province, but now serves as the magistrate of Baoding Prefecture.

The third oldest is Bai Zhezhu. He neither likes literature nor businessmen, but he is obsessed with martial arts. He likes to dance with swords and guns. He is good at visiting brothels and gambling houses, and manages some escorts in his own escort agency.

The table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and no one touched their chopsticks.

Qi Gong was dressed like a rich man in a brocade hat and a sable coat. He was frowning and sighed:
