Before Lin Hongfei arrived at Li Yanqing's residence, there were already several direct officers gathered around him. Without exception, these people came to ask for military pay from Li Yanqing.

Although they all had approval slips from the Marshal's Mansion, the concierge refused to let them in.

"Master Six is ​​resting at the moment and there are no guests. You can come back tomorrow!" the concierge said very rudely.

"Third Master, please help me with a message. The brothers don't have any money at all, and they are all waiting for the rice to be cooked!"

"Yes, if we don't get any more money, the brothers should eat tree bark and dig wild vegetables!" Several officers said while stuffing some benefits to the concierge.

The concierge immediately showed a smile and said: "Okay, I will ask for you. If Master Six is ​​not sure, you can't blame me!"

"Don't complain, don't complain. The third master has done a lot of work for us. It's not too late for us to be grateful!" the officers said with a smile.

Watching the concierge enter the courtyard, an officer couldn't hold back his anger and said: "What the hell, a seventh-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's door? A concierge can make me smile so shamelessly!"

The person next to him smiled bitterly and said: "No way, who let our salary be in the hands of Mr. Liu!"

“I don’t know if I can get the money today!”

"Hey, have you brought anything?"

"Bring it with you. I heard that Mr. Liu is favoring an actor who sings the role of Kun recently. I specially spent 3,000 yuan to hire a craftsman to make a set of jewelry."

"You're really good at this!"

"No way, I want to withdraw 50,000 yuan from Mr. Liu this time. If I don't pay, Mr. Six will never give it to me!"

The Sixth Master among these people was Li Yanqing. He came from a humble background and was originally just a bathhouse boy. By chance, he helped Marshal Cao take a bath, so he was eloquent and good at flattering, so he was valued by Marshal Cao.

In the end, he gradually became the Deputy Superintendent of Military Supplies of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion from a bather, equivalent to the Deputy Minister of the Logistics Department, with direct authority over military revenue and expenditure.

It's just that Li Yanqing was too greedy. If his subordinates wanted to receive military pay, they would either give him a portion of the military pay or give him a generous gift.

Otherwise, even if you have an approval note from Marshal Cao, he will still dare not give you the money, leaving you with no chance of getting a penny.

Therefore, everyone in the immediate family hated Li Yanqing with gnashing of teeth, but there was nothing they could do. Marshal Cao valued him, so everyone could only bury their hatred in their hearts and pretend to flatter him on the surface.

Soon, the concierge came out and said with a smile: "Guys, Mr. Six invites you!"

The officers did not dare to delay and hurriedly followed the concierge in, thinking that they should be able to receive their military pay today.

Not long after, Lin Hongfei rode a white horse and led dozens of cavalry guards outside Li Yanqing's mansion. Adjutant Li Kui dismounted first, walked quickly to the gate and said to the concierge:

"Please tell Chief Li that General Lin Hongfei is visiting!"

The concierge sat on a chair, glanced sideways at Li Kui, then took two sips of tea from the small teapot in his hand, and said calmly:

"Master Liu is taking a rest today and won't see any guests!"

The concierge's attitude made Li Kui a little angry, but he still said politely: "Sir Lin has a note from Marshal Cao. He is here to collect military pay this time. Please give Tong Bing a shout."

"I've already said that Mr. Liu won't see guests during his break. Don't you understand?" the concierge said impatiently.

Li Kui clenched his fist, suppressed his anger and returned to Lin Hongfei: "Commander, the concierge said that Chief Li is off today and will not see any guests!"

Lin Hongfei frowned, but soon relaxed, and sneered: "You kid is so difficult to deal with!"

"Kuizi, give him some benefits!"

Li Kui nodded, came to the concierge again, took out a few pieces of gold and handed it over.

The concierge saw that there were only five oceans, and immediately showed a bit of displeasure. He thought to himself whose adjutant this was, was he really stingy, and only gave such a small amount, didn't he look down on himself?

Although he was cursing in his heart, the concierge still took Dayang over. No matter how small a mosquito's legs were, they were just pieces of meat.

He weighed the ocean in his hand, and then said lazily: "Oh, Mr. Liu should be waking up soon. How about this, you guys wait for another hour."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge force came and kicked him and the chair to the ground.

"Damn it, I'll give you face, right?"

Ding Dehu was seen scolding angrily.

"You hit someone!"

This was the first time that the concierge was treated like this. He was confused for a moment and subconsciously said to Ding Dehu.

"Hitting someone?"

"I'll slap your fucking pussy hard!"

"What a shameless thing!" Ding Dehu scolded.

Lin Hongfei strode past with the guards. The concierge wanted to ask someone to stop him, but the two guards covered his mouth and pushed him into the room.

At this time, Li Yanqing was sitting in the front hall, playing mahjong with three wealthy businessmen, surrounded by several military officers who came to ask for military pay.

"Master Liu, this is a small item, please take your fancy!" An officer opened the brocade box in his hand, and inside was a celadon-glazed porcelain vase.

Although Li Yanqing came from a humble background, his years of prosperity and wealth have given him a self-taught appreciation for antiques and luxury goods.

He could see at a glance that this celadon-glazed porcelain vase was of great value, so he nodded slightly, played a red card and said, "Well, put it there!"

"Hey, that's good!"

The officer quickly put the brocade box on the table nearby, and then said with a smile: "Sixth Master, look at our military pay for the past six months..."

"The government has no money, so I'll give you four months first!" Li Yanqing said.

In fact, the officers also knew that there was no money in the government, so Li Yanqing simply withheld the two months' military pay and put it into his own pocket.

I spent a lot of money to buy antiques and buy jewelry, but in the end I still couldn't get the full military pay.

But there is no other way. The officers don't dare to complain. After all, if they complain, they won't even get their military pay for the past four months!

"Okay, four months is a lot, thank you Mr. Liu!"

Several officers smiled and hurried to the munitions office to collect military pay.

As soon as he went out, he saw Lin Hongfei with a calm face striding towards him with a group of guards. There were also several servants who wanted to stop him, but they were pulled aside by the guards.

"Lin, hello, Chief Lin!"

When several officers saw Lin Hongfei's appearance, they quickly saluted and said hello.

Lin Hongfei nodded slightly, returned a military salute to them, and then strode into the front hall.

"Chief Lin looks a little ugly!"

"I guess I was put in a difficult situation by the concierge guy just now."

"With this look on his face, if he goes to the Sixth Master to ask for military pay, I guess it's impossible for the Sixth Master to give it to him."

"Okay, okay, let's stop thinking about it here and get the money quickly!"

"That's right, what if he gets into a fight with Mr. Six and gets us involved again!"
Chapter completed!
