The warmth was preserved, and soon after, the sunset began to fall and the night fell quietly.

The last bit of light shone on their backs until they disappeared.

In front, Chunlan and Dongmei had already lit lanterns and staggered, leading the way for the two behind them, passing through the corridor, and coming to the main courtyard, the huge four-bay main hall door, a little noisy, and some people were even secretly looking around. Perhaps they saw the lantern coming over there, and quickly shrank back.

The noisy sound quietly calmed down.

When the main hall gate arrived, Xifu was shocked when he saw the situation inside, "There are so many people... they are here to have a meal?"

"Yes, my husband is treating them to dinner." Bai Muqiu smiled and turned his face toward the inner room.

Dozens of merchants inside bowed and said in fear: "Yes...yes... Admiral invited us to dinner."

"Then...you eat slowly... don't choke."

Xifu waved his hand to them, and then reminded the man beside him, saying that he should not let the guests go hungry and eat enough. He said a lot of stupidly, and he was still reminding him when he left.

After the figure disappeared, he immediately walked in indifferently.

"Admiral..."

A businessman who was elected as the head stood up and was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't talk..."

The man on the first seat closed his eyes and raised his finger, "I only said a few words. After listening, I will trouble the boss here to deliver it to the East Factory, where someone will be responsible."

The main topic came, and then it was silent.

He opened his eyes, held his hands on both sides of the wooden chair, and slowly opened his mouth, "During the disaster, many officials and businessmen colluded with each other and corrupted a lot of imperial grains, and were killed by me. How it was spread outside may be known, but it doesn't matter. They died, leaving behind a lot of shops, house deeds, antique calligraphy and paintings, and even precious jewelry. I want to share these things with you."

The sound of the talk was not loud, and the dark outside was silent.

"………You take these things and do things for our supervisor."

"What's wrong with you..."

"If Kaifeng Prefecture dares not take care of it, Dongchang will come to take care of it; if Kaifeng Prefecture dares not take care of it, Dongchang will come to take care of it..."

"And what you need to pay... is filial piety, is it clear enough?"

When the voice spoke, the merchants below looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but say, "Sir Admiral... How much do we need to respect?"

"One layer of dividend every month." Bai Muqiu still raised his finger.

Without waiting for them to express their opinions, they waved their hands to send them away, "Remember that it is dark night and when the sunrise is sunrise, if the East Factory does not have your list, it is very likely that it is the last sunrise you see, so you must cherish it."

These merchants stood up and went out in a submissive manner. Each of them had a cold sweat soaked their silk shirts and pressed them tightly on their bodies. They only breathed a sigh of relief until they were sent out by the eunuch of the soap-clothed clothes. A group of people were speechless one after another and got on their own carriage and went into the dark side.

Bai Muqiu sat quietly on the chair, not happy about what had just happened, but was very tired.

The expenses of Dongchang are increasing. If the emperor relies solely on the money allocated by the emperor, the limitations will be greatly restricted. To break through the shackles, Dongchang must have its own independent source of income. Obviously, it is the fastest to get money from these merchants in the early stage. It should not be too difficult to run some workshops to maintain operations after the stability.

He was very tired, but he couldn't leave.

Tonight, two more people are coming.

It was almost an hour before night was still early. Cao Shaoqin led two figures to appear in sight. Bai Muqiu rubbed his nose. When they came in, he rubbed his face, glanced at him, waved his hand, and signaled them to sit down. Cao Shaoqin stood beside him holding a sword.

But the two men did not sit and stood in the middle and glared.

At this time, a maid came over, brewed tea and placed it on the round table for guests, and went down again.

The room was quiet, Bai Muqiu put down his hand, opened his eyes, and stared at a man with a round face among the people who came, about thirty years old, with a playboy on his face, but at this moment he looked frightened.

"Gao Muen? Gao Yanei?"

"You are not dead yet!" A sound similar to a roar suddenly appeared. The tea cup held in his hand suddenly flew out and hit Gao Yanei. The hot tea water spilled out, making him slapped the whole person in place.

The tall and thin man standing beside him, a little fifty, quickly helped him shake the tea on his clothes, pointed at Bai Muqiu, and gritted his teeth and said, "Admiral Bai, don't bully people too much. My son is wrong first. If you ask me to come tonight, then you will come. Everyone will be the ministers in the same palace, don't do it so ugly."

"How ugly?" Bai Muqiu raised his face and looked down at them. "When you were cheating Lin Chong, what you did was probably even ugly. Today, I'm not ugly?"

Gao Qiu said in a singular voice: "You want to come out for Lin Chong?"

"No interest." Bai Muqiu stood up and stared at Gao Yanei, "Since you dare to tease the wife of the governor, then... some things must be removed... Otherwise, the governor will feel uneasy..."

"Dad!" Gao Yanei shrank back in fear.

Gao Qiu was eager to protect his calf and shouted loudly: "Don't force people too much."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Okay! You're forcing me!" Gao Qiu took a deep breath and suddenly walked behind Gao Muen, "Bai Ning, please watch me carefully!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his hand pulled down.

A thud, Gao Muen's pants were pulled down, and his crotch was empty. Suddenly, Bai Muqiu's pupils shrank, he suddenly sighed, and waved his hand, "Put it on, let's forget about this."

Gao Yanei blushed and quickly lifted his pants up.

Gao Qiu turned his face aside, his tone was a little sad, "After Lin Chong's incident, my son was killed by a great monk. Today, Mu En teased the wife of the governor. I have already taught him a lesson at home, but I have beaten him, so what can I do? He is like this. Do I want to kill my son as a father? If the admiral still has resentment, I can come to me."

"Don't hurt my father." Gao Yanei suddenly knelt on the ground and slapped himself a few times. "I'm wrong today. I can't change my dog. The main commander will kill Mu Enlai."

"Haha... What a deep love between father and son."

Bai Muqiu almost couldn't help but slap her, "Master Gao, what kind of guy are you father and son? I have archives. Don't act in front of me. However, today's things can be passed, such as asking the young master to enter my East Factory, and about Liangshan, I want to talk to Mr. Gao."

"Is it the domineering Dongchang who bullies people casually?" Gao Yanei's eyes lit up and he hurriedly shouted: "I'll join, I'll join."

Gao Qiu frowned, kicked him, and said, "Liangshan, Gao thinks there is nothing to talk about."

"No, no!"

Bai Muqiu shook his finger and said, "Call Cai Xiang up, we will have something to talk about."
