Chapter 568: Magistrate Li

But in this situation, if Huang Feihong was not allowed to treat him, he would not be able to give him face.

No matter what, Huang Feihong is also sincere and enthusiastic.

Soon, Huang Feihong said to a young man behind him: "A Kuan, you are looking at a shop in Baozhilin. The master will not come back for lunch today."

"Yes!" Liang Kuan quickly agreed from behind.

Afterwards, after Baozhilin made some preparations, Huang Feihong and Li Tian and the others left Baozhilin and went to a better restaurant in this area.

Although Huang Feihong is not a rich man, he has also had some money over the years and is considered a relatively wealthy person.

Fumanlou is a good restaurant nearby. Many rich people choose to come here for dinner.

Because the environment here is good, the dishes are delicious, and there are many private rooms that can make people talk about things quietly.

Huang Feihong asked for a private room and took Li Tian, ​​Aunt Thirteen, and Pork Rong, and his teeth were rubbed inside to sit.

Huang Feihong was in a pretty good mood today. After ordering the dishes, he would exchange cups with Li Tian and drink wine.

After the dishes were served, everyone ate and chatted.

Huang Feihong is a person who is more worried about the country and the people. When he and Li Tian were having dinner, he spent most of his time talking about major affairs in his country.

Although there are also some slogans outside this restaurant, saying "Don't talk about state affairs."

But how can a man like Huang Feihong not talk about major issues in his country?

Although Li Tian's thoughts were all about Aunt Thirteen, he had to try his best to echo Huang Feihong at this moment, so as not to be bored by Huang Feihong alone.

However, even if he accompanied Huang Feihong to talk a lot, Li Tian had to squeeze out time and chat with Aunt Thirteen for a few times.

Now the relationship between Thirteenth Aunt and Huang Feihong is just a simple relationship of kinship.

Therefore, Aunt Thirteen also saw Li Tian’s little moves and was happy in her heart.

After all, no matter what kind of woman he needs to nourish love.

Just as everyone was having a meal, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the box.

When I heard the footsteps, I was a little dissatisfied with a big bowl of pork eating.

He put down the bowl and said with some dissatisfaction: "Who is here? I'll go out and take a look!"

As a result, before Zhu Ruorong could go out to check out, the door of the box was pushed open.

As soon as the gate opened, a group of Qing soldiers appeared in front of everyone in uniform.

This was the first time Li Tian saw the Qing soldiers and felt that their outfit was a little speechless.

Even these Qing soldiers were wearing this way, their long clothes and braids were probably not very conducive to combat.

But Li Tian was still very curious and had some doubts about why the Qing soldiers appeared here.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a flower feather came out from behind the Qing soldiers.

This man was wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform and looked a bit majestic.

But the most important thing is that this man is very obese and has a big belly, as if he is pregnant.

With such a big belly, people will know that he is very oily and watery at first glance.

After all, most people today are very thin, and it is rare to be able to grow to be as fat as him.

As soon as the fat official appeared, Huang Feihong stood up.

"Master Li, why are you here?" Huang Feihong bowed and greeted the fat official.

The Prefect Li also bowed to Huang Feihong and said with a smile: "Master Huang, I am here to find you today. There is something to discuss with you."

When Huang Feihong heard this, he said, "Prince Li has anything to do. As long as Huang can do, he will definitely agree."

After all, it is within the jurisdiction of the Prefect Li, and even Huang Feihong has to be a little more philanthropic and establish a better relationship with these officials.

When Magistrate Li saw Huang Feihong as a wise man, he immediately sat down with a smile.

He picked up a pair of new chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and threw it into his mouth.

After chewing for a few times, Prefect Li swallowed the braised pork.

Then, Master Li said with a smile on his face: "Master Huang, that's it. In a few days, there will be a Lord Nalan in the capital who will come to our Guangzhou. So, I want you to rest and not let your brothers from the militia come out to cause trouble. For the four opium restaurants, forget it, just treat it as giving me a face, how about it?"

When Huang Feihong heard this, he frowned.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Originally, you said, I must agree, but the four opium opium houses have harmed many people, you know this. It's better for you to close the four opium houses, and I, Huang, promise not to cause trouble for them anymore!"

"you......"

Master Li's expression suddenly became very ugly, and he even wanted to lose his temper.

In the eyes of Master Li, Huang Feihong's attitude is not very good at it.

He stood up with a cold face, and then said, "Huang Feihong, don't take your official seriously because you have some reputation. Let me tell you the truth. The four opium restaurants are related to the interests of many people. If you do whatever you want, you won't have any good results!"

Huang Feihong bowed and said righteously: "If you can't eliminate harm for the people, then what's the point of living, I, Huang Feihong."

Master Li was a little angry at this time, but he still held it back and did not have an attack.

With a wave of his hand, he asked his soldiers to bring a tray and put it directly on the table.

This tray was covered with red cloth, and I don’t know what it was inside.

At this time, the prefect Li lifted the red cloth, which contained a plate of silver, which probably looked like a thousand eight hundred taels.

After revealing the things in the tray, Master Li said, "Master Huang, there are 1,000 taels here. You can take them first. Within this month, don't touch the four opium restaurants again, how about it?"

One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount in this era.

Nowadays, people's lives are very hard and the economy is relatively depressed.

A family may only cost three or four taels of silver throughout the year.

Such expenses are quite good for families.

More people are still in a state of displaced and unable to eat enough.

Therefore, it is conceivable that the one thousand taels of silver in Magistrate Li's move is really not a small amount.

However, when Huang Feihong saw this thousand taels of silver, his expression suddenly became very ugly.

He snorted coldly and said, "One thousand taels of silver, how much blood is there for the people, and how much money is there for the people. Master Li, will your conscience hurt if you do this?"

This sentence completely angered Prefect Li.

The angry prefect Li shouted angrily: "Hmph, Huang Feihong, you really take yourself seriously. I will persuade you with kind words. You are still here to slander me, okay, you have a good time, I see how arrogant you can be!"

As he said that, Master Li waved his hand and said to a group of subordinates behind him: "Let's go, let's go!"

After the words came, the prefect Li left here. When he left, he still didn't forget to take the thousand taels of silver away.

The very unhappy Master Li suffered a loss this time with Huang Feihong.

However, with the character of Prefect Li, this hatred will definitely be remembered.

Huang Feihong looked at the departure of Master Li, and the expression on his face became very ugly.
