Chapter 251 Zhao Kui, the prefect

"Dear elders, don't be crowded, be careful, please queue up to donate..."

Zhao Qi looked at this terrifying scene and quickly picked up the trumpet and shouted loudly. Then he found that the effect was not very good, so he had to discuss with the county magistrate Tong Nohieong. Tong Nohieong arranged a group of officers and soldiers to start to separate the crowded crowd. After half an hour, the donors slowly turned into ten thick, long and curved teams. The tail end of the team had already lined up to the riverside. At this time, people from all directions were constantly coming to Lingqiao Wharf like a tide. Zhao Qi had to discuss with Tong Nohieong again, and let some soldiers go to nearby intersections to promote the notice. The donation will last until the end of the month, so that the people should not all be here today.

After a full hour, the order near the Lingqiao finally gradually stabilized, and the teams of fundraising were still lined up by the river, but a large number of people were persuaded to return home and wait for the next few days.

"Huh~~" Zhao Qi sat on the edge of the platform under a teahouse with his hands wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Although he prepared in advance to create a ten-piece wooden box, he obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the people to donate, especially Zhao Kui's donation of 1,000 taels of cash silver, which surprised him very much.

Gao Zhi donated 1,000 taels of silver a year to completely calm the matter down and not let others say anything, but Zhao Kui donated 1,000 taels is very interesting. Although this money is nothing to a first-rank duke and a rank-level official, he doesn't need to be so generous.

It seems that we should visit this new prefect as soon as possible.

What's more, he had arranged for his subordinates to come and invite him in front of thousands of people in Yin County. The earlier he could drink this cup of tea, the better. If he delayed it for a long time, he would lose his character.

"Drink water!" Just as Zhao Qi was looking at the crowd raising funds and thought about a problem, a person next to him handed a cup, and then a man wearing a hat sat next to him.

Zhao Qi turned around in surprise and saw that it was Qian Wuliang. He immediately asked with surprise: "When did you come back? All things are arranged?"

"I've been back for three days. All the people you want have been found. I'm exploring the venue and planning recently!" Qian Wuliang pulled down his hat and completely covered his face while whispering.

"That's good. We must cheat this time. Lu Guangping smashed my place the day before yesterday!"

"I saw it, we were here that day?" Qian Wuliang nodded.

"Could it be that the man in black who donated a penny is the master you found?" Zhao Qi was stunned for a moment and understood.

"Well, there are four of them in total, they are all friends I met before. Don't worry, they are very safe in their work and will never involve you. I have already agreed with them that the reward is 10%, no problem!"

"It doesn't matter 10% or 20% of it. The important thing is to succeed. Also, after the matter is completed, you ask them to donate the money to us anonymously!"

"Donate them all?" Qian Wuliang's face twitched for a few times.

"Well, this money is hot, and you can only feel at ease if you donate it all. Moreover, this matter will inevitably become a legend in the future: the four righteous men join forces to cheat the Lü family, and a huge sum of money will be saved by a huge sum of money. At that time, we will write it and give a speech in a teahouse and brothel. You four friends will definitely be famous for all ages..."

"Why aren't the Five Righteous Scholars? Don't I count?" Qian Wuliang hummed unhappily.

"Of course you don't count. You are not a liar. You can only be considered a tooth in this game!" Zhao Qi curled his lips.

Qian Wuliang's face was twitching and couldn't stop, as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"By the way, if you and your friends are interested, can you help me cheat someone?"

"Is it Gao Yanei?"

"Um!"

"How do you plan to cheat? Although the Gao family has some money, it is definitely far inferior to the Lu family. Besides, Gao Zhinian is the magistrate of Qingyuan Mansion. If you cheat too much, you may use the power of the government to investigate. If it is exposed, it will be troublesome. I advise you not to have any trouble!" Qian Wuliang reminded him with some concern.

"As long as you plan it well, it will naturally not be exposed so easily. Gao Yanei has a very strange special habit, that is, raising cats. I have inquired about it. This guy has dozens of cats of different breeds at home, and as long as he hears that there are good cats, he will definitely spend a lot of money to buy them. This is a good opportunity to get a mobile phone, you guys do this..."

Zhao Qi put it together in Qian Wuliang's ear and muttered a few words. Qian Wuliang's face was surprised and surprised. Finally, he patted Zhao Qi on the shoulder hard and stood up and said, "Your method is good, and there is a high chance of success. I'll discuss it with them now!"

"Okay!" Zhao Qi grinned and rubbed his shoulders and turned his head. He couldn't help but say a word. Qian Wuliang, who was still by his side just now, had disappeared. It was as strange as if he had never been there before, and there were crowds coming and going around.

Because Zhao Kui came forward to suppress the situation, there was no surprise in Yin County's fundraising.

Therefore, after staying at the dock for a long time, Zhao Qi arranged the fundraising work here to take charge of several companions, and bought some gifts and went to Qingyuan Prefecture to visit the prefect Zhao Kui.

Zhao Kui is over 70 years old and has a graceful and elegant temperament that only veterans fighting on the battlefield have. She speaks very skillfully and concisely, which makes Zhao Qi very fond of.

Although Zhao Qi was young, he gave Zhao Kui a very good feeling, and he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he talked freely. Especially for the planning and introduction of Xiaolongwan, as well as the motivation and planning of this fundraising event, he was very moved and said he was very encouraged during the conversation.

Although this was just a courteous visit and the two did not have a very in-depth conversation, the atmosphere of the meeting was still very friendly. The two had a great time drinking tea and chatting. Zhao Qi's strange thoughts and remarks made Zhao Kui laugh from time to time, which surprised the group of staff and personal servants.

You should know that Zhao Kui has been living in her hometown in recent years and has almost refused the various arrangements of the court. This time, she was transferred by the emperor to be the prefect of Qingyuan, and has basically never left the house. Apart from handling official duties, she just reads and listens to music and writes in the backyard of the study. She neither meets the famous scholars and gentry who come to visit, nor interacts with the big and small bureaucrats of the Qingyuan Mansion. The influence on subordinates and outsiders is that she does not care about other people's business.

But Zhao Kui's performance in the past two days has completely broken this perception.

Moreover, when he took action, he was like thunder. Gao Zhinian, the second-in-commander of Qingyuan Mansion, immediately shocked the entire Qingyuan Mansion.

The visit lasted half an hour, but the laughter in the backyard almost stopped. Even when Zhao Qi left, Zhao Kui personally sent Zhao Qi outside the living room. This action made the entire government office feel incredible and they whispered to each other.

"Duke of Wei stayed, boy said goodbye, come and visit again in a few days!"

At the entrance of the living room, Zhao Qi bowed and said goodbye.
Chapter completed!
