Afterwards, Wei Xiaobao called Wu Xingzuo in again and said to them seriously: "You two are one civil and one military, but I have handed over all of Fujian to you. I will draw a large number of backbone forces from the Ryukyu Government Affairs Department, Industry Department, Military Industry Department, Assets Department and other departments to strengthen Fujian, and build Fujian into a comprehensive experimental base integrating industry, agriculture, military industry, scientific research, finance and education.

You two must cooperate with each other and discuss things together. If you encounter any difficult problems, you can always send me a telegram."

"Yes, thank you for your trust, Commander-in-Chief (teacher)! We will definitely work together in solidarity to do a good job in all aspects of construction in Fujian." The two answered in unison.

Wei Xiaobao nodded with great satisfaction, then turned to Wu Xingyu and asked, "How is Yao Qisheng doing now?"

"Teacher, Yao Qisheng is so tight-lipped that he has refused to confess anything. But when we went to search his house, we found that his family was really poor and had few people. In addition to his wife, Mrs. He, and a four-year-old grandson, there were only a few servants left in the house, and they usually ate brown rice."

"Doesn't he have a son?" Wei Xiaobao asked curiously.

"Teacher, you don't know that Yao Qisheng's son Yao Yibei died heroically in the battle with Zheng's army two years ago." Wu Xingzuo answered truthfully.

Hearing this, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but sigh: "So, Yao Qisheng is really an honest official! He has tens of millions of taels of silver, but he can still live frugally. This kind of noble sentiment is rare in the corrupt Qing officialdom nowadays!"

After a moment of silence, Wei Xiaobao suddenly spoke up: "Take him to the transport ship No. 552 and detain him. Also take his wife and grandson with him, but keep them separate."

After hearing this, Wu Xingzuo showed a hint of hesitation on his face: "This..."

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Wei Xiaobao asked with a frown.

Wu Xingzuo took a deep breath and said carefully: "Teacher, Yao Qisheng's wife He was born with supernatural power. It is said that she can easily lift a thousand-jin iron tripod and walk easily. She can take the head of the enemy chief in the midst of thousands of troops. I am worried that the soldiers sent out will encounter unexpected events."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself that such skills should have surpassed the cultivation level of a late-stage grandmaster.

Generally speaking, people with such strength will have a certain reputation in the world.

However, it is puzzling that Yao Qisheng's wife has such ability. There must be some unknown secret hidden in it.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiaobao decided to go and find out for himself: "Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."

Yao Qisheng's home is very close to the Governor's Palace, separated only by a wall. It can be said to be a courtyard inside the Governor's Palace.

Not long after, the group arrived at the gate of Yao Mansion, and a team of fully armed Tiandi Army soldiers quickly surrounded Yao Mansion.

The house-raiding team had just left, but unexpectedly another group of troops arrived in the afternoon and besieged Yao's mansion again.

Madam Yao stood in the middle of the yard, her face covered with a veil and her hair slightly gray.

She hugged her four-year-old grandson tightly and kept complaining: "You guys, after searching the house this morning, are you not satisfied that you didn't find anything valuable? Do you want to bring a hoe and dig this yard upside down?"

When Mrs. Yao saw Wu Xingzuo leading a group of people into the yard, she immediately raised her voice and shouted at him: "Wu Xingzuo, my master has always praised you as a clear stream, rising above the mud without being stained, and he has always looked up to you. I didn't expect that you are also a snobbish villain who curries favor with the powerful and flatters others! My master really misjudged you..."

Wei Xiaobao stepped into the yard and looked around, and found that Yao Qisheng's family was indeed very simple. His wife and grandson were both wearing plain cloth clothes, which were simple but clean and tidy.

Wei Xiaobao's mind moved, and he immediately activated the "Intelligent Sky Eye" to scan Mrs. Yao. The result surprised him. It turned out that this seemingly ordinary woman had the cultivation level of the early stage of the Ancestral Realm.

Such strength is enough to be called a local tyrant, but she lives such a simple life, which is really confusing and puzzling.

Wei Xiaobao looked at Madam Yao and pretended to be ignorant and asked, "You are Madam Yao, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yao immediately became alert and looked Wei Xiaobao up and down, her eyes full of suspicion and vigilance. She could feel that the man in front of her exuded a strong aura, which seemed to pose a threat to her.

So she asked bluntly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Wei Xiaobao smiled slightly and replied, "My name is Wei Xiaobao, nice to meet you, Madam Yao."

Hearing the name "Wei Xiaobao", He's face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled a little: "Could it be... that you have captured our master? What crime has he committed?"

Wei Xiaobao quickly explained: "Yao Qisheng has not committed any crime and will be released in a few days."

After hearing this, He showed a half-believing and half-doubting expression on her face and asked, "Really? You didn't lie to me?"

At this time, Wu Xingzuo on the side hurriedly said: "Lord Wei is the first-class Lu Ding Duke, the emperor's son-in-law, and the Governor of Fujian. Naturally, he will not deceive Madam."

Yao Qisheng often cursed at home, saying that Wei Xiaobao was a complete traitor.

Not only did he seize Jinxia, ​​he also instigated the rebellion of the Han army camp in Fujian. What's even more outrageous now is that he actually trapped his master in Xiamen.

In short, Wei Xiaobao is the culprit behind all these disasters.

Mrs. Yao really couldn't understand why the official who caught the thief was thrown into jail, while the real thief was at large, as if the two had swapped identities.

"What are you doing here in my house?" Mrs. Yao asked in confusion.

"Oh, nothing serious, I'm just a little curious. I heard that Madam Yao is very skilled in martial arts. I wonder where you learned this martial arts from?"

"Why do you keep asking so many questions? What do you want to do?" Mrs. Yao asked back.

"Oh, it's purely out of curiosity! How can I not find out more about this if such a powerful expert is hidden in the Governor's Mansion?"

"Humph, if you want to know, I won't tell you!"

"Haha, do you think I can't guess the origin of your sect if you don't tell me?"

In fact, Wei Xiaobao didn't need to go through all this trouble. He could have gotten the answer by simply using the system to calculate it, but his territory was limited and he couldn't bear to waste it.

"Then guess, you think you are a god"

"What is your maiden name, madam?"

"Humph!" Mrs. Yao knew that this was not a secret and did not answer.
