"Daya, when the sweet potatoes are cooked, you can eat them. Don't give them to your grandfather."

"Why, Chunhua?" Old Man Xu looked at Old Mrs. Xu with an expression that said, "Don't you love me anymore?"

"Don't sleep in the tent if you've eaten." Old man Xu has a bad stomach. If he eats before going to bed, he will definitely fart continuously in the middle of the night.

Old Man Xu didn't know about this, but later he listened to Old Lady Xu and ate a few pieces of grilled lamb chops and stopped eating.

The same goes for Old Mrs. Xu. As she gets older, she eats less, and Xu Ning doesn't try to persuade her because eating too much is hard to digest.

Xu Yuanchao turned his head to the darkness of the bamboo forest, and Cui Yong left tactfully upon seeing this.

Xu Ning ate so much that his stomach was full, and Xu An and Xu Feng were also full and could only burp beside him.

Xu Da was still gnawing on a sheep bone. Seeing that the child was full, Zhang stopped him from eating anymore.

"Master, stop eating and go to sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow morning!" This evening, the butcher Zhang in the town had delivered the slaughtered pork, and Zhang and Old Lady Xu had already marinated it with salt.

Xu Da glanced at the remaining roasted mutton with regret. Old Lady Xu helped Old Man Xu back to the tent and said, "Mrs. Mei, please put away the remaining meat. I'll cook some porridge with it tomorrow morning."

"Oh, Mom, I know." Zhang packed up quickly, Xu Ning and the three kids helped tactfully, and soon the Xu family fell asleep in the fragrant tent.

After half an hour, Xu Yuan and Xu Ning made sure that everyone in the family was asleep, and quietly walked into the bamboo forest in the moonlight.

"Aunt Yuan, let's go!" Xu Yuan nodded and used his lightness skills to take Xu Ning through the woods. Soon they arrived at the pirate stronghold in the town.

"In three days, the gang leader will gather people over. Tonight they asked us to inform the county magistrate, Mr. Huang, to follow the old rules." There was a candle burning in a room in the stronghold, and three adult men were talking inside.

"Still 30/70?" one of them asked.

"What else?" the man who spoke asked him back.

"It's really a loss for the gang leader. He only gets 70% after putting in so much effort!"

"Humph, what do you know? Do you think seven points is not enough?! Three points bought the life of the gangster!"

"No, what do you mean?"

"Do you know why we haven't been fighting pirates in recent years?"

"Isn't it just an alliance between officials and bandits?"

"Not only that! The Sea Master also received a lot of benefits! Of the three points, at least two points were given to them!"

“I didn’t expect…”

Xu Ning and Xu Yuan had not expected that even the garrisoned navy would get involved, but it was not surprising after thinking about it. Just like the man in the room said, there has been no fight against pirates for so many years, and the fact that pirates are becoming increasingly rampant doesn't that indicate a problem?

Xu Ning and Xu Yuan looked at each other, took out the prepared smoke, and knocked out the three people in the room.

Xu Yuan was responsible for tying up the people, while Xu Ning was looking for things in the stronghold.

While Xu Ning was looking for valuable and useful things, he also installed mini surveillance cameras in places where sunlight could reach.

Unfortunately, this stronghold was too poor. After searching everywhere, Xu Ning only found two bags of food.

However, Xu Yuan found more than one hundred taels of silver from these three people.

"Aunt Yuan, since we're here, why don't we go visit the county government office as well?"

Xu Ning didn't believe that a county magistrate who colluded with pirates to oppress the people could be so poor.

Sure enough, Xu Yuan and Xu Ning secretly entered the warehouse of the county government and were stunned by the boxes of silver and grain.

Xu Ning exclaimed in his heart, "What a guy!", and took away all the things without mercy. He also specially visited the backyard of Huang, the county magistrate of Shanglu County, and after imitating him and making everyone unconscious, he emptied the county government office inside and out!
