Baima City is the most prosperous city in Huizhou, and it is also the place where Lu Feng stops in Huizhou during this trip.
Shen Yue's Shen Family Chamber of Commerce is also in Baima City and is one of the many chambers of commerce.
Speaking of the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce, Shen Yue is the president of the chamber of commerce and the only person in power. After her father passed away, she struggled to support this small business association with low profits.
Originally, this shipment would make her business a lot of profit, but now there is nothing left, and everything is in vain.
After entering the territory of Huizhou and walking for a long time, Lu Feng and his party finally arrived at Baima City.
Someone had already reported the news to the officials in charge of Baima City. The city gates were opened wide and a large number of officials came out to greet them.
"Master Lu, it was a tiring journey from the capital to Huizhou. It was a hard work." The leading official saluted Lu Feng and said.
Lu Feng also responded with official politeness, "No matter where it is, we are all working for His Majesty, and the hard work is deserved."
"That's right. Xiaguan has already arranged a hotel for Lu Feng. The environment is quiet and it's a good place to work and relax."
"Excuse me, Mr. Yang."
"Hahaha, look what Mr. Lu said. Mr. Lu came all the way from the capital to Baima City. The lower official heard about Lu Feng's achievements along the way. He was really happy to get rid of those corrupt officials for the people."
"It's a small effort, but it's not worth mentioning."
"Master Lu, please."
"Master Yang, please."
The two were polite to each other and then entered the city.
The characters and scenery in Baima City have a strong Jiangnan atmosphere. Compared with the grandeur of the capital, this place is more graceful.
Even the women coming and going on the streets are a little more tender than those in the capital.
Lu Feng and others were led to the residence by Mr. Yang. They saw two stone lions majestically guarding the door. On the plaque were written three characters:
Inspection House.
"Hahaha, Mr. Lu, this place used to be a temporary resting place for the emperors of the last two generations when they came to Jiangnan. However, the emperor later thought that this place was not good enough, so it was slowly abandoned. The lower official has already rearranged the interior and kept Lu. Your Excellency is satisfied.”
"Master Yang is interested." Lu Feng patted his shoulder.
Along the way, the prosperity of Baima City was the best he had ever seen in the south, which showed that the officials here also had certain abilities in governance.
Lu Feng gave an order for all the soldiers to unload their horses and enter the mansion to familiarize themselves with the new environment in order to do their duty well.
The soldiers he brought were all veterans who had been on the battlefield. Master Yang knew at a glance that they were all ruthless characters.
Shen Yue also got off the carriage.
"Is this your honorable lady?" Mr. Yang's eyes lit up and he asked.
Before Lu Feng could answer, Shen Yue made a wish and said, "The Nu family is from the Shen Family Chamber of Commerce. They were in danger on the way. Thanks to Master Lu for his generous help."
"I see."
While they were talking, Lu Feng noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar figure in the distance. But before he could distinguish it carefully, the man disappeared among the passing crowd.
"Master Lu, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing, maybe I was dazzled." Lu Feng shook his head.
"It may be due to excessive fatigue. I will not disturb Mr. Lu's rest for now. We will host a banquet for Mr. Lu tonight."
Lu Feng nodded, "Then I'm welcome."
After entering the inspector's office, Lu Feng took a cursory look at the environment, then asked the soldiers to do their duty while he walked to his room.
The main room is spacious and well laid out, making it very satisfying to look at.
Shen Yue also followed Lu Feng in and said at this time:
"If nothing happens, the slave family will go back first to deal with the loss of this batch of goods from the Chamber of Commerce."
"Is there any difficulty?" Lu Feng looked at her and asked.
Shen Yue smiled bitterly, "We will definitely have to pay a large sum of money. Maybe the Chamber of Commerce will have more difficulties after this, and the funds will not be able to circulate."
"Little things."
Lu Feng took her hand and said, "Since you are my woman, I will not treat you badly. I also brought enough silver when I came here from the capital. I will have someone send the needed money to your Chamber of Commerce later." "
"Really?!" Shen Yue looked at Lu Feng and was very happy.
"Hehehe, compared to your return to the Chamber of Commerce, isn't there another more important thing right now?"
"What's up?"
Lu Feng directly picked her up and said, "Take a mandarin duck bath and catch up on your sleep, beauty."
…
In the evening, since it was inconvenient for Shen Yue to follow Lu Feng to the banquet prepared by the government, she went back to the Chamber of Commerce by herself.
"Master Lu, please sit down," Yang Yong said.
"Master Yang, please sit down."
Both parties exchanged polite greetings and sat down.
"I don't know if these dishes are to Master Lu's taste. This place is not as good as the capital. I hope Master Lu will bear with you."
"Mr. Yang, what you said is wrong. Our Daxia land is rich in resources and has outstanding people. Although the food in different places is different, they are all first-class and delicious. Since I am here, I naturally follow the local customs and have a good taste."
This was not because Lu Feng was being modest on purpose, but the dishes on the table were all very in line with his taste, with all the colors, flavors and flavors.
While drinking wine and eating food, Lu Feng listened to Yang Yong telling him about the situation of Jianghu forces in Baima City and Huizhou as a whole.
"The official knows that Mr. Lu is here to punish these Jianghu people under the order of the emperor, but I am afraid that the resistance Mr. Lu will encounter will be great."
Lu Feng smiled and said, "I know that there is no need to rush this matter, and I have already prepared in my heart. When the time comes, Master Yang will just send a few people who are familiar with Baima City and the entire Huizhou to cooperate with me."
"Oh, could it be that Mr. Lu already has a draft?"
"Hahaha, Master Yang will naturally know when the time comes."
"Yes." Yang Yong nodded, "But since Mr. Lu mentioned that he is familiar with Baima City and the entire Huizhou, Xiaguan just has a suitable person. This person is currently working under me."
"Listen to what Mr. Yang said, wouldn't it be that I have won people's love?"
"Hey, Mr. Lu is serious. We are all working for His Majesty, so there is no difference between us. Besides, this person is restless and has long wanted to do some trouble. Being able to do things for Mr. Lu is exactly what he wants."
Yang Yong paused and then said:
"Furthermore, this person has martial arts skills and can protect Mr. Lu from danger, so that the lower officials can feel at ease."
This last sentence is Yang Yong's true words.
If anything happened to Lu Feng in Baima City, it would be the end of his career as an official.
"Then I'm not polite. Master Yang, come on, let's have a drink."
"Hahaha, Mr. Lu, please."
During the banquet, the two had another official conversation until late at night.
After getting on the carriage, Lu Feng returned to the inspector's house under the escort of soldiers.
But what the soldiers didn't know was that someone was following them.
From the moment he got on the carriage, Lu Feng knew someone was following him.
"Hmph, most of them are those in the world."
Lu Feng let others follow him and did not choose to take action.
