For the sake of safety, Li Qi asked Tu Boshu to come to his house alone on the pretext of inviting Tu Boshu to his home.
After sitting down in the side hall, Li Qi poured him a glass of homemade watermelon juice.
Tu Boshu took a sip and said with a smile, "Brother Li really knows how to enjoy it."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Brother Tu, thank you for the award. Have you found any results over the past few days?"
"Not yet, but I have already found a lot of people to start investigating this matter. It won't be long before there will be clues about this matter..."
Tu Boshu said, suddenly realizing something, he looked at Li Qi and said, "Brother Li asked me to come over. Could it be that you have some news over there?"
Li Qi didn't expect that she had noticed it, but it wasn't surprising.
If you suddenly invite her over alone at a stall like this, if you think about it carefully, you will find something fishy.
Li Qi hesitated for a moment, struggling in his mind whether to tell her or not.
If she didn't tell her, Tu Boshu would definitely suffer a loss if that guy Hou Jun had any bad intentions.
But if he told her, he would offend six doors.
There is no airtight wall in this world...
Who cares about his grandma, anyway, I am also an official of the imperial court now, and I have the prince behind me.
No matter how powerful your six doors are, you can't even ignore the prince, right?
Thinking about it, Li Qi took a deep breath and said, "Brother Tu, I called you here alone today. Actually, I have something to tell you."
Tu Boshu's expression became serious and he waited for the next sentence.
"What do you think of Hou Jun?" Li Qi asked.
Tu Boshu frowned, rolled his eyes, and said after a moment: "What is Brother Li talking about?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your relationship with him..."
"Brother Hou and I have known each other for a long time. He has always been a guest of our family and is very interested in the affairs of the escort agency. Over the years, he has helped the agency a lot. My father originally wanted him to be the deputy
The chief escort, but he rejected him..."
When Tu Boshu said this, he paused and said, "Brother Li thinks this matter has something to do with him?"
Li Qidao: "I'm not familiar with him... there are some things that I can't say, but you are my friend, and I feel it is necessary for me to tell you some truths that I know."
Tu Boshu nodded: "Brother Li, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"Hou Jun..."
Just as Li Qi was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Who is there?! Catch him!"
This voice was familiar to Li Qi. It was Huang Jin's voice.
Hearing this, Li Qi rushed out.
Huang Jin and several soldiers were seen arriving in the courtyard, and several of them had already rushed out, seemingly chasing someone.
"Brother Huang? What's wrong?" Li Qi asked with a puzzled look.
Huang Jin came over and said, "I saw a man sneaking around on the roof, and I've sent someone to chase him."
Hearing this, Li Qi was startled: "Who is he?"
"I didn't see it clearly, but don't worry, brother, he can escape but the monk cannot escape the temple. I will definitely have him captured!"
Huang Jin said angrily, and then said to the officers and soldiers who followed him: "You also go after him. If you can't catch anyone, you don't have to come back!"
"yes!"
All of a sudden, all the people Huang Jin brought over ran out to chase the people.
Tu Boshu also came out at this time, and Li Qi quickly introduced: "This is my close friend, the young master of Fuyun Escort Bureau, and this is General Huang Jinhuang."
The two hugged each other's fists.
"Brother Huang, why did you come to see me?" Li Qi asked.
Huang Jin nodded and said: "Not bad..."
Obviously he had something to say, but due to Tu Boshu's presence, he did not continue.
Tu Boshu smiled and said: "Since Brother Li has something to do, I will take the first step."
Li Qi originally wanted her to stay, but seeing Huang Jin's furious look, he thought for a moment and said, "Brother Tu, I'll go to the inn to find you later."
"Okay." Tu Boshu nodded and left.
After Li Qi and Huang Jin were left, Huang Jin started to curse as soon as they entered the side hall: "Damn it, these bastards, sooner or later I have to let them know how powerful I am!"
"What's wrong, Brother Huang?" Li Qi asked.
"Originally, I planned to take people to Nanfeng Mountain to check the situation in a few days, but who knew that someone attacked the military camp at night last night and burned the prepared food and grass!" Huang Jin gritted his teeth in anger.
"Is he from Tianjihui?" Li Qi asked tentatively.
Huang Jin said: "I don't know yet, but the few people who came here were all killed. I have already asked people to hang the heads of those guys at the city gate! How dare you play tricks on me!"
During this period of contact with Huang Jin, Li Qi also gained a general understanding of this man's character.
This guy looks like a rough guy, but he's very delicate inside.
He came to my side to curse, he must be asking me for something.
I wasn't in a hurry and waited until he spoke first.
Li Qi poured him a glass of watermelon juice calmly: "Brother Huang, calm down first. This is the watermelon juice I just made. Please drink some."
"Watermelon juice?" Huang Jin took a sip from the bowl and said, "Well, it tastes good."
"Brother Huang, if you like to drink, you can come to my place anytime." Li Qi said with a smile and did not mention anything about the military camp.
After chatting for a few more words, Huang Jin couldn't sit still: "Brother Li, to be honest, I came to see you today because I have something I want to discuss with you."
"Oh? I wonder what Brother Huang wants from me?" Li Qi asked.
"Brother Li, now that the food and grass are being burned, I'm afraid it won't look good if this matter comes to light. After all, something like this happened not long after we arrived in Nanjing City. If the higher-ups find out, they will punish us for the crime of having a bad start..."
Huang Jin said: "I don't care, I'm used to it. But if this matter affects you, brother, I will feel very sorry..."
"It's better if we don't report this matter. As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Brother Huang can just make his own decision on some matters." Li Qi said with a smile.
"That's what I thought too." Huang Jin said with a smile, "Brother Li really thought about it with me... But now that the grain and grass have been burned, it will take more than a month to wait for new grain and grass to be shipped. We don't have to
Worry, but the people below have to eat. There are two things that soldiers are most afraid of. The first is not having food to eat, and the second is not having money..."
"Brother Huang shouldn't come to me about this matter. You should go to the prefect and ask him to prepare some food and grass for emergency use, right?" Li Qi said.
Huang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "I have already gone to him to discuss it, but it is a pity that there is not much food left in the granary in Nanjing City, only enough for the Yamen..."
"Brother Li, if there is anything I can do to help, just ask." Li Qi didn't understand what he was trying to do, so he said directly.
Huang Jin grinned: "With these words from brother, I feel relieved...I came here today to borrow money from you, brother."
