It's no wonder that Prefect Qian would make such a guess. He felt that since his subordinates didn't say it was the First-Rank Lady's people, then it must be the Duke's people, and the Duke's people were the court's people.

There is another reason, which is the amount of food, cloth and clothes. Even if the clothes and cloth are made of ordinary cotton, the quantity is large, which would still be a huge expense.

"Your Excellency, it seems not to be the case. I see no government officials among the people driving the carts." The bailiff thought for a moment and said.

"Ah? What's going on? Could it be that he was afraid of being robbed by bandits on the road, so he wore casual clothes?" Lord Qian muttered in his room, and then overturned his guess; "That's not right. Now the people of our Yan Kingdom are living and working in peace and contentment. There are no bandits at all."

"Sir, why don't you go out and take a look, then you'll know the answer, right?" Master Lu reminded from the side.

When Mr. Qian heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "Yes, let's go out and take a look."

As he spoke, he walked outside.

When he got outside, he was stunned. There were a row of fully loaded carriages parked outside, but no driver. "Where are the people?" asked the prefect Yue.

"Your Excellency, everyone has gone to have lunch with Madam Yipin." A captain of the police nearby said this. As he spoke, he saw a restless horse running towards the grass not far away, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed the horse's tassel.

"Can you find a jar of good wine?" Prefect Qian asked the legal advisor beside him, touching the sack of grain on the carriage in front of him curiously.

There used to be good wine in the government office, but later, according to the epidemic prevention manual issued by the higher authorities, all the good wine and ordinary liquor in Yudong City were collected and used for disinfection.

There has been some wine shipped here in the past two days, but it is all ordinary white wine, so it is really difficult to find a jar of good wine now.

"Sir, you don't have to use good wine. Everyone knows the current situation of Yudong. They shouldn't be picky." The master was smart and reacted quickly. He guessed the purpose of the lord wanting good wine and reminded him in a low voice.

Prefect Qian nodded, that was right. "Then hurry up and get me two jars."

The bailiff left in response and returned soon with wine in his arms.

"Let's go. I want to thank the people who delivered food and cloth in this hot weather." After saying this, Prefect Qian ran towards the big tent not far away.

The lawyer wanted to go over and watch the fun, but he couldn't go because he had to personally arrange to store the materials in a temporary warehouse.

Two yamen runners, each holding a jar of wine, trotted behind their master.

It’s great that Yudong now has Xiaoyun when it needs Xiao.

As they got closer and closer to the big tent, Prefect Qian pricked up his ears and heard a lively noise, but it was not coming from that big tent, but from another big tent, so he ran straight over there.

"Duke, Madam, I sent two jars of wine to relieve the fatigue of the brothers who delivered food and herbs. It's not a good wine, please don't despise it." After entering the tent and finding the powerful couple, Prefect Qian stepped forward and said loudly. "Mr. Qian is too polite. I thank Mr. Qian on their behalf." Mu Yingbao responded with a smile. Xue Wenyu on the side just smiled and didn't hum.

Lord Qian took the opportunity to look around. As expected, there was not a single official in the big tent, crowded around the three tables.

They don't look like ordinary people.

Lord Qian noticed that those people just glanced at him and continued to pick up food and eat.

Their expressions did not show the awe and nervousness that ordinary people would feel when seeing an official.

The two yamen runners wanted to put the wine in their arms on the table, but they stopped after taking only one step.

Because they saw that there were wine jars on the three tables. Just by looking at the shape and texture of the jars, they knew that the wine inside was not ordinary wine.

The two of them quickly looked towards their master. He had good wine, so what should they do with this wine?

"What are you two still doing there? Put the wine aside and go out first." Lord Qian noticed the looks from his men and also saw the situation on the table, and said with a laugh.

The two yamen runners quickly put the jars of wine in their arms into the corner and walked away.

Emma, ​​this is so embarrassing! If I had known this would happen, I would have come empty-handed!

It's not that they are disloyal and leave the adults alone to face embarrassment. It's the adults who drove them away.

What they didn't know was that their own prefect didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Anyway, his original intention was not to send wine.

The real purpose was to come and confirm who sent so much food and cloth.

Someone immediately brought a chair for Prefect Qian from outside, and he sat down happily without any hesitation.

"Duke, aren't they from our court?" Prefect Qian asked Xue Wenyu with a low smile.

Xue Wenyu glanced at him and said, "Xia, no, they were arranged by my eldest brother-in-law. However, the food supplies from the court are also on the way and should arrive in the next few days. My Lord, just focus on dealing with the epidemic, and don't worry about the supplies."

"Ah? Is he the Duke's elder brother-in-law? Someone from the Madam's family, so could it be?" Prefect Qian heard the answer easily and was very shocked, so he didn't dare to ask directly.

The life story of this first-rank lady spread throughout the capital and beyond.

The relationship with the former governor Mu's family became very strained.

Later it was said that he and the leader of the Black Bat Gang, Kong Lian, became sworn brothers. So the brother-in-law that the Duke mentioned must be him.

Rumor has it that Gang Leader Kong's life was also saved by Lady Yipin.

So, in order to repay her for saving his life, Gang Leader Kong led his gang disciples, including Zhizhong, to follow and protect her and the emperor who had not yet ascended the throne.

Gang Leader Kong has both the people and the money.

So, at one go, they gave away more than thirty carts of grain, as well as so much cloth and clothes. For them, it was nothing.

"It's him." Xue Wenyu responded simply.

Looking at Prefect Qian's shocked reaction, Xue Wenyu didn't know what to say.

What is the Black Bat Gang? Even the rumored Shadowless Sect is hers now!

However, the Black Bat Gang could say that it was not yet time for the Shadowless Sect to be made public.

My wife said that we should keep it secret as much as possible, and not be too ostentatious, we should be low-key! This is also to hide our strength. With the Black Bat Gang in the open, the Shadowless Sect should be in the dark.

Xue Wenyu wanted to laugh when he thought of what his wife said about being low-key.

If she can be low-key, then how can the high-profile people in this world be high-profile?

"My Lord, you and your wife are truly benefactors to the people of Yudong." Prefect Qian said with great emotion, then stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them.

Then he said he would not disturb me anymore and left.

Mu Yingbao was talking to Hua Wuwei about making dumplings in the evening and didn't pay attention to what Prefect Qian and Xue Wenyu were talking about.

If she can be low-key, then how can the high-profile people in this world be high-profile?

"My Lord, you and your wife are truly benefactors to the people of Yudong." Prefect Qian said with great emotion, then stood up and bowed deeply to the two of them.

Then he said he would not disturb me anymore and left.

Mu Yingbao was talking to Hua Wuwei about making dumplings in the evening and didn't pay attention to what Prefect Qian and Xue Wenyu were talking about.

When she turned around, she saw the back of Prefect Qian leaving. Nanzhu made tea for Prefect Qian and brought it to him, but he left.

"What's wrong with him?" Mu Yingbao asked puzzledly.

Because I was so excited when I saw the money corpse just now that I wanted to stay here for a while longer. Why is it now?
