Chapter 180: Merit in Suppressing the Bandits

While they were still chatting, Constable Qin and Constable w.a.n.g came over.

Their faces darkened.

Everyone quickly stood up.

“Return and prepare yourselves. We’ll attack Black Wind Mountain tomorrow.”

“Why are we in such a hurry?” Gu Jiu asked.

“We have to bring as many officers as we can. The government office from Chenzhou will send 5,000 soldiers over. They have already set off and we will meet them at the foot of Black Wind Mountain tomorrow,” Constable Qin reached out his hand and patted the shoulder of the statue of the Great Saint.

“This is a good opportunity for you to contribute. Whether you can take the position of chief will depend on your ability.”

Heng Yi said nothing.

But he was confident in his abilities.

As long as he was rewarded according to his achievements, he would do his best.

Constable Qin was a little envious of Heng Yi.

He had been a constable for many years, but the government office had never mentioned anything about promoting him to the chief constable. In comparison, Heng Yi had just joined them, and he was already being offered this position. He couldn’t help but think about it.

However, even though he was envious, Heng Yi had also proved himself.

“Let’s go home and pack up first, especially hemostatic medicine and the medicine for wounds. Although the government office will prepare, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”

“Prepare everything and come back quickly.”

He could not rely on others to save his life. He still had to prepare some for himself.

Heng Yi called for Bai Cha to leave.

Only then did everyone realize that no one had noticed Bai Cha even after they had talked for a long time.

After Bai Cha and Heng Yi left the government office, the two of them went straight to the medicine shop.

He bought the best hemostatic medicine, wound medicine, and detoxification pills.

“Big Brother, do you want to buy a better saber?”

Heng Yi touched his empty purse, “Let’s talk when we get home.”

When they reached home, Dong Lai immediately came to welcome them.

“Master, Second Master, Madam said that when your return you should come straight to the main courtyard.”

As for why, Dong Lai didn’t say anything and the two of them didn’t ask.

Han Qiao had just returned and had just finished enjoying Duan Yue’s ma.s.sage. She had washed up and changed into a clean and fitting set of clothes when Shulan entered the room, “Madam, Master, and Second Master are back.”

“Yes,” Han Qiao walked to the door.

Heng Yi stepped in and held her hand, “What is it?”

“I’ve prepared a gift for you.”

She guided them to the table where the two rosewood brocade boxes were.

According to the length, Bai Cha could immediately guess what was inside.

He couldn’t describe the feelings inside his chest, but his heart was warm and his entire body was a little light.

“This is for you, and this is for Bai Cha. Open it and take a look.”

Heng Yi opened the brocade box and looked at the shiny and sharp blade.

Heng Yi didn’t know what it was made of, but he knew it was a good saber.

He picked it up and swung it a few times.

“It’s light.” Heng Yi praised.

Bai Cha took out the sword and inspected it carefully. It was a very fine weapon.

“Sister-in-law, this must cost you a lot of money,” Bai Cha said.

“Don’t worry about the price, just take a look and see if you like it,” Han Qiao laughed.

“I like it.”

“I like it.”

Heng Yi and Bai Cha said in unison.

They liked it too much.

Heng Yi gestured to Bai Cha, “Let’s spar in the yard?”

“Big Brother, please.”

When the two of them arrived at the yard, they began to gesture.

The strokes of a good saber and a good sword were indeed different. Han Qiao thought she had hallucinated as she watched them head toward each other like a white blinding flash, and then the two figures clashed. They were extremely fast and light on their feet.

Bai Cha had received proper education since he was young, but he didn’t gain any advantage with Heng Yi as his opponent.

After a while, the two of them felt their hearts full and satisfied.

Han Qiao had already asked someone to bring the white fungus soup over.

Although tremella was not as difficult to buy as bird’s nests, it was still quite expensive. Han Qiao bought one catty and stewed it in a pot every time. Both adults and children would eat a bowl.

Heng Yi picked up the bowl and finished it in a few mouthfuls. He then said to Han Qiao, “We’re going to wipe out the bandits. We’ll have to leave soon.”

This surprised Han Qiao.

“I’ll pack a set of clothes for you.”

“No need, we’re going to exterminate the bandits. We don’t know what’s going on either. Everyone is going to bring the clothes they wore, it’s not appropriate for us to bring too much.”

“I’ll leave Bai Cha at home. Don’t go out for the next few days.”

Han Qiao had wanted him to bring Bai Cha along, but the family was full of old, weak, women, and children. The only people who knew martial arts were the three manservants, and they only knew simple moves. They were useless if they were to go up against someone more skilled.

“What about you?”

“I can protect myself. Don’t worry.”

Heng Yi also thought about the situation at home. He needed to find a few more people who knew martial arts to at least ensure the safety of his family.

Bai Cha didn’t insist on going.

“Big Brother, stay vigilant. Be careful when you fight against someone more skilled than you.”

“Yes.”

Heng Yi brought the new saber to the government office, and Han Qiao prepared ten silver pieces for him.

When everyone saw his saber, they all praised him with envy.

“That must cost you a lot of silver.”

“It must be very expensive. I haven’t seen anyone use it in Puyi County.”

The raider team set off without even having lunch. Some brought dry rations, while others brought meat.

When Heng Yi pa.s.sed by the bun shop, he bought fifty meat buns, which made many people envious.

Back in the Heng Mansion, with Heng Yi not home, Han Qiao became the head of the household with Bai Cha acting as the head of the servants.

Butler Hu was busy weighing the stalks and radishes.

And the common people dug up broken leaves, wild onions, and yellow leaves on wild onions.

Han Chi and the children helped out.

Han Chi was even stricter than Butler Hu. Every basket of bamboo shoots had to be checked carefully. Once he found that there were bad bamboo shoots mixed in, he would immediately pick them out and scold the people who came to sell the bamboo shoots.

He also disliked the mud on the radishes’ leaves.

He didn’t pick the yellow leaves of the wild onions.

Even if there were weeds in the yellow onion’s leaves, he would also dislike it.

In short, all the people who came to sell their vegetables knew that the young master of the Heng family was very picky. Everything had to be clean, or else his mouth would turn you into nothing.

Fortunately, he was still very happy to pay.

Actually, Han Chi disliked Butler Hu’s lack of diligence in his work. Even the bamboo shoots he chose were a little sloppy.

He couldn’t say much but complained about it to Han Qiao during dinner. “Some of the bamboo shoots in the basket are too small. Once the sh.e.l.ls are peeled, there are no more bamboo shoots. Butler Hu didn’t pick them out and put his hands behind his back. He’s not the master of the house, and didn’t want to get his hands dirty!”

Han Qiao picked up some food for Han Chi, “Then what do you think we should do?”

“We can’t leave this responsibility to their family,” Han Chi said.

“Let’s eat first. We’ll continue this after dinner.”

After the meal, Han Qiao asked the children to come to the hall. Bai Cha was also there.

Butler Hu’s family of three was also called over.

When everyone arrived, Han Qiao let Han Chi speak first.

Han Chi did not panic, “Butler Hu is not very diligent in checking the bamboo shoots. I don’t know if he paid more money, but some of the bamboo shoots are too small. Almost every basket can pick out two to three catties. Two to three catties in a basket doesn’t seem like a lot, but we have to collect hundreds of baskets of bamboo shoots a day. That is not a small amount.”

Han Qiao looked at Butler Hu and saw him frowning, “Butler Hu, what do you think?”

Butler Hu wanted to say that he was wronged.

However, there was a basket in the kitchen, and there were indeed many small bamboo shoots in it.

“Madam, please give me another chance.”

Han Qiao shook her head slightly, “Butler Hu, I gave you a chance. The first time you made a mistake, it provoked those servant girls into talking behind our backs. You let them know that their master was a country b.u.mpkin and ignorant, so they didn’t take their master seriously and learned to slack off.” “Asking you to weigh the bamboo shoots this time is indeed a waste of your talent, but you still disappoint me.”

“Auntie Zhao, bring the account book up..”
