In fact, with Deng Hai's strength, he could have been the captain. However, Deng Feihu has been suppressing his son in order to avoid suspicion. Now that Li Fan speaks, he will naturally promote his son in a legitimate way.

Li Fan looked at Deng Feihu with joy on his face and said with a look of expression: "Deng Feihu! I don't care about your previous identity, but if you join the Royal Postman, you must abide by the rules of the Royal Postman.

Do your best to do your best to serve the royal postman and His Majesty. Otherwise, cutting into pieces is the lightest punishment, and killing the nine clans is also easy, do you understand?"

Deng Feihu, who was a little happy just now, was sweating profusely by Li Fan's words. He didn't care about the rules that Li Fan had just said, "Thump!" and knelt down to express his loyalty, and he almost took out his heart and showed it to Li Fan.

Li Fan nodded and asked Deng Feihu to get up. The big stick had fallen, and it was time to give sweet dates.

He patted Deng Feihu on the shoulder and said, "Flying Hu doesn't have to do this. You and I are all doing things for Your Majesty. Your Majesty will definitely not treat you badly!

These postmen on the sea will be collectively called Sea Python later, and you are the captain of Sea Python, and Tang Feng is the deputy captain, so you will obey your order!

If he dares not obey the order, I will withdraw him!"

"Ah!" Deng Feihu was stunned. He never expected Li Fan to let him be the captain, and even Tang Feng would be his deputy.

When he looked at Li Fan, he stuttered a little, "Great... Sir, this is not right!"

Li Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't doubt people, don't doubt people! Don't be assured and dare to dare, don't let Your Majesty down!"

"See you to the death!" Deng Feihu knelt down again and kowtowed.

He was helped up by Li Fan and said shyly: "Sir! I heard that Xishan is rich, can my subordinates buy a place in Xishan and place their subordinates' families?"

Li Fan smiled when he heard this. Deng Feihu was really good at it. Anyone who believed in his honest appearance would definitely be deceived without any scum.

He took the initiative to send his family as hostages when he was kind and gave his family a hostage. He was definitely a smart person.

Before leaving, Li Fan called Tang Feng alone and said, "Tang Feng! I appointed Deng Feihu as the captain of the Sea Python. You kid will not have any objection!"

"How can it be! Brother Fan! We are all laymen on the sea, so we can only rely on this Deng Feihu.

Brother Fan, don’t worry, I will not interfere with his training of the sea python, but if he has a strange intention, I will definitely cut off his head!" Tang Feng said with a serious expression.

Li Fan did not say anything, nodded with a smile. Li Fan naturally would not be assured to hand over the huge sea python and more than a dozen warships to Deng Feihu, and Tang Feng was his backup plan.

I believe Deng Feihu also understands and must know how to do it. Tang Feng is nominally the deputy captain, but his voice must be more powerful than Deng Feihu.

He had just left Tianjin Wei and had not returned to the capital, but he met the eunuch who had sent the imperial edict. Xia Taicin entered Beijing and encountered thousands of bandits near Yanzhou. Although most of the Taicin was saved, more than 200,000 taels of silver were still robbed.

When the officers and soldiers of Yanzhou Prefecture arrived, the bandits had long disappeared. The Yanzhou Prefect did not dare to hide it and asked the court for help in an expedited document.

What surprised Li Fan was that the official army escorting Tax Bank was actually transferred to suppress the bandits, leaving only more than 300 people, and had to requisition 89 nearby postmen.

It was these eighty-nine people who also involved the royal postmen. The officials who escorted the tax silver now insisted that the postmen colluded with bandits and robbed the tax silver.

After hearing the urgent report, Li Fan was angry, but there was not much expression on his face. The official army escorting the tax bank was actually transferred to suppress the bandits, which made people suspicious.

As soon as the postmen joined the escort team, the bandits attacked, clearly targeting the postmen and Li Fan.

Is revenge coming so soon?

The meaning of the imperial edict is very clear, that is, let Li Fan catch the bandits in ten days and recover the tax bank. Comrade Xiao Zhu fought for the past ten days and fought for Li Fan. The case was still solved without waiting for the case to be solved after the deadline. The tax bank was recovered, and the hat of unfavorable affairs would definitely be deducted.

The lightest thing is to lose the title, and maybe the entire royal postman would be disbanded, and his fate would be very miserable.

After understanding the seriousness of the matter, Li Fan did not even return to the capital, and asked someone to urgently transfer a thousand postmen into Yanzhou Prefecture, and he himself brought Li Rusong and eight others to go first.

The Grand Canal connects north and south. As an important channel for the South-to-North grain transfer, many ships will sail all year round.

Li Fan stood in the boat looking into the distance, but he was thinking about the tax silver. 200,000 taels! Even when using a ox cart, he had to load five or six cars, and more than eight thousand kilograms of silver would not disappear without a trace, unless...

"Sir! I found someone burning incense on the boat!" Li Rusong's voice interrupted Li Fan's thoughts.

Li Fan didn't react for a while. Isn't it normal to burn incense and worship Buddha? Especially for the sake of peace, most boatmen would worship Buddha statues.

Then he realized that burning incense is not an ordinary name, and it is usually used by the White Lotus Sect. The famous White Lotus Sect can be regarded as a professional rebel.

Li Fan clearly remembered that decades later, the White Lotus Sect rebelled in Shandong and captured several county towns, and then he became emperor impatiently.

Although the joke-like rebellion was quickly calmed down, the harm caused to the people was irreparable. Countless people were destroyed and more people lost their land and became refugees.

Man-made disasters are often better than natural disasters, especially cults like this that deceive the people.

Li Fan was energetic and followed Li Rusong to the stern. Before he got closer, he heard a vague sound of prayer coming from inside. After hearing a few words, Li Fan affirmed Li Rusong's statement.

Just as Li Fan wanted to continue listening, a shout rang out: "What are you doing here? There are female relatives inside, which is inconvenient!"

Li Rusong immediately wanted to have an attack and touched the steel knife on his waist. Li Fan smiled and said, "Oh! We are just hungry and want to find the boatman to ask for some food. I hope he can forgive the disturbances if we are not disturbing!"

The person who walked out of the stern of the boat was in his forties. He stared at Li Fan's face for a while and felt that Li Fan was not like a bad person. Then he said, "If you want to eat, wait, and cook in half an hour.

The four-pound carp is ready to eat, so you can be satisfied with your food!”

"We are all big-bellied men. Prepare a few more pieces, which will not be worth your money!" Li Fan threw a piece of broken silver at random, and the man's eyes narrowed into a slit after taking the silver.

"Sir! Are we not arresting people? Do you give them money?" Li Rusong said excitedly when he returned to the cabin.

"Ru Song! They are just foolish wives! Burning incense and worshiping Buddha is just to repay peace. If the gods and immortals are famous, they will naturally worship them!

The White Lotus Sect can continue to this day, so naturally it has their own set of methods to fool the people, so it is not surprising that some believers are bewitching them.

As long as the court provides more guidance and implements benevolent policies, naturally no one will believe in cults again!”
