Cai Pengbo, who was upset and angry, was not very interested at the moment. When he saw someone coming to touch his brow, he immediately wanted to open his mouth and curse in order to vent his anger.
However, when he saw that it was Liu Ping, the confidant who had saved his life, Cai Pengbo suppressed the anger in his heart in order to prevent his subordinates from feeling cold. Without saying anything, Cai Pengbo took the small wooden box from Liu Ping's hand. , just open it casually...
Cai Pengbo, who was originally absent-minded, looked at the things quietly placed in the small wooden box, and his expression suddenly changed slightly. After his eyes stayed on the things for three seconds, Cai Pengbo closed the lid of the small wooden box.
Turning his attention back to Liu Ping, he took a deep look at his trusted subordinate, and then said slowly:
"Do you know what's inside the box?"
"I don't know, the box was entrusted to me by one of my fellow villagers to give it to the Commander-in-Chief. My fellow countryman's name is Li Xianyi, and he is the second shopkeeper of Da Fengan Company. After hearing about your reputation, he admired you very much and wanted to make friends with you. A friend, this small wooden box is a meeting gift from him to adults!"
Seeing Cai Pengbo acting so solemnly, Liu Ping, who brought the small wooden box over, said in a daze:
After taking another good look at Liu Ping, and seeing that he didn't seem to be telling lies, Cai Pengbo closed his eyes and weighed it silently in his heart.
Seeing Cai Pengbo like this, Liu Ping couldn't help but be a little unsure of what he was thinking. Seeing that he didn't speak again, he felt a little anxious and anxious, and asked tentatively:
"Sir, if you don't like it, I will just reject him!"
"Where is your fellow countryman Li Xianyi now?" Upon hearing this, Cai Pengbo opened his eyes and asked instead of answering Liu Ping's question:
"It's in the city!" Liu Ping said truthfully:
"Two hours later, let them go to the private room of Sanpin Pavilion!" Cai Pengbo pondered for a moment, and then he said calmly as if he had made up his mind:
"Thank you for the honor, Lord Commander. I will go down and make arrangements right now!"
Seeing that Cai Pengbo agreed, a smile appeared on Liu Ping's face.
This time his fellow countryman promised that as long as he could help meet Cai Pengbo, he would be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver. This was a large sum of money for a whistle commander whose annual salary was only a few dozen taels of silver. You've got a windfall, and you can get it just by talking and making introductions. Don't get this money too easily!
After watching Liu Ping leave, Cai Pengbo's eyes flickered. He opened the small wooden box in front of him again and saw a metal waist tag engraved with the word "supervision" lying inside...
Looking at the metal badge, Cai Pengbo fell into deep thought. Although he didn't know what the purpose of the Supervision Department was to find him, his subconscious told him that this matter must be related to Xu Zhaojie!
If this matter had been dealt with before today, Cai Pengbo would have been very resistant to the invitation from the Supervision Department and would never have agreed to the invitation.
But today is different from the past. He can't deal with Xu Zhaojie, and he really wants to see what the Supervision Department wants to do with him!

In the evening, in the private room on the third floor, Li Xianyi, the second shopkeeper of the Da Zhou business "Da Fengan" who was nearly fifty years old, looked at him with some curiosity. Sitting next to him was a young man dressed as a scholar.
Although Li Xianyi's apparent identity is that he is a businessman and the second shopkeeper of "Da Fengan", few people know his true identity. The eighth-rank secret agent of the Supervision Department specifically uses his identity as a cover in "Da Fengan". The Inspectorate receives and disseminates intelligence.
After hesitating for a while, Li Xianyi was still impatiently curious and asked respectfully to the white-faced scholar in front of him who was about the same age as his son:
"Sir, how did you know that Cai Pengbo would come to meet you?"
The white-faced scholar with an indifferent expression glanced at Li Xianyi when he heard this. This glance seemed to be an understatement, but it made Li Xianyi suddenly startled. He realized that he had made a mistake, and he quickly said with sincerity and fear:
"I shouldn't ask!"
"Don't do it again!" Seeing Li Xianyi admit his mistake, the white-faced scholar said calmly:
Seeing that the white-faced scholar didn't pursue the matter, Li Xianyi quickly nodded in agreement.
Li Xianyi and the white-faced scholar did not wait too long. Cai Pengbo, dressed in regular clothes, walked into the private room under the guidance of Liu Ping.
Seeing the two people waiting in the private room, Cai Pengbo glanced at Li Xianyi, and his sharp eyes were focused on the fair-faced scholar beside him.
"This is our Cai Pengbo, Commander Cai, why don't you come and greet us!" Standing next to Cai Pengbo, Liu Ping, who didn't know what he was talking about, said in a pretentious manner:
Li Xianyi and the white-faced scholar looked at each other, then stood up, bowed to Cai Pengbo, raised their hands and said:
"Master Cai!"
Cai Pengbo nodded, and then said to Liu Ping: "Go to the lobby and wait!"
"yes!"
Liu Ping, who was about to sit down to eat, was a little confused as to why the commander wanted to kick him out, but he bowed and left obediently.
As Liu Ping left and the private room door closed, Cai Pengbo looked at the white-faced scholar and sneered, "Who do I think I am?" It turns out to be Wang Kangxin. I only know that your uncle is Qianhu of the Supervision Department. I never thought that your boy would also join the Supervision Department! '
After saying that, Cai Pengbo took out the small wooden box containing the Supervision Department's waistband from his arms and threw it in front of the white-faced scholar.
"Brother Cai, you're fine!"
Seeing that Cai Pengbo recognized him, the white-faced scholar, Wang Kangxin, smiled slightly and took off the fake beard on his face. At this time, Li Xianyi also picked up the small wooden box in front of Wang Kangxin with a tacit understanding and put it into the small box. Box.
Wang Kangxin then continued: "Brother Cai is joking. I am still a military attache of the Forbidden Army. How could I join the Supervision Department? This token belongs to Shopkeeper Li. He wants to date you. I am only responsible for accompanying you."
"Speaking of saying goodbye to Wanfeng Mansion, we haven't seen each other for almost a year..."
"snort!"
"Don't say it's useless. It's as if you and I are very familiar with each other, but your life is pretty tough, so you're not dead..." Cai Pengbo said with a sneer:
As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Kangxin's expression remained as usual, but deep in his eyes, there was a hint of resentment. However, this resentment was not directed at Cai Pengbo, but at someone else.
