Mrs. Yu said this not only because the things sent by the Changning Marquis' Mansion were just what she needed, but more because when Yu Chengzhi and his wife were about to give up, there was someone supporting them from behind.

It is simply not possible to go it alone in your career.

But who to follow is a big question.

In the past, Yu Chengzhi compared Wang Shiwen and Zhou Jin, and even felt that Wang Shiwen was more tactful and better at dealing with people, and had a better future than Zhou Jin.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Zhou Jin may be a bad mouth and aloof, but he is sincere to others. Help him sincerely, whether it is money or career.

"My lady is right. Prince Zhou is worthy of following." Lord Yu said with a smile, "The big neck disease in Qinglan County is almost gone. Many people rushed here from the countryside and knelt outside the government office to kowtow and thank you."

"That's not all. This time they sent us corn, a high-yield crop that was successfully planted in the capital region, so that I could try planting it next year. They also asked me to buy furs worth 100,000 taels of silver."

"Every one of these things is beneficial to the country and the people. Following such a Zhou prince who works hard for the people, at least we can feel at ease, instead of following Li Guojiu to help with disaster relief like some people did, and ended up embezzling most of the money."

Of course, Madam Yu also knew why her husband had attacked Uncle Li. Although it was not Uncle Li who did it directly, it was done by Uncle Li's followers, so Uncle Li must have known about it.

"My husband, you are right. The Marquis of Changning Mansion does things honestly. It is said that birds of a feather flock together. Since you don't want to be a corrupt official, then find someone of your kind to follow."

"Compared to those upright people who always talk about morality and justice, only the Changning Marquisate never talks about it, but actually does it."

Yu Chengzhi agreed, "Madam is right. We have a clear conscience. But it is a pity that you and I have to endure this bitter cold place."

Madam Yu said angrily, "I am not afraid of suffering, but I am afraid that my husband will become successful and have three wives and four concubines, and will not want a yellow-faced woman like me. Is it really true that when you suddenly see the willows on the street, you regret having asked your husband to seek a title?"

"My wife, others may not know me, but you know me?" Yu Chengzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted his skinny body. "You are enough for me. If I have another concubine, my body won't be able to bear it. I will die early."

Madam Yu shook her head and laughed, "Don't talk about life or death, we have good days ahead. If we work hard for a few years and make achievements, we can continue to be promoted with the help of Prince Zhou. Even if we can't return to Beijing, we can go to other places and experience different customs and cultures."

If you don't care too much about money and official positions, everything will be easy.

"Work hard for your husband." Yu Chengzhi said with a smile, full of energy.

He exchanged 12,000 taels of silver from the money shop and used them to buy furs in Qinglan County. Many people brought out the furs from their homes to sell.

The price given by Mr. Yu is fair and affordable.

Yu Chengzhi was not thinking about making money, he was just trying to help, so the local people sold the furs at a higher price and the Changning Marquisate bought the furs at a lower price.

Just when Qinglan County was busy purchasing furs, the head of the Beirong spies stationed in the capital of Kangguo came to report to the Beirong prince Tuolu.

When he saw Tuolu, the Beirong man, who had changed his name to Xu Jia, was shocked.

Seeing this, Tuolu was also very curious on his round, fat, dark face, "Xu Jia, have you met this prince?"

Xu Jia replied respectfully: "Prince, I came to Kangguo when I was 18 years old, and I didn't have the honor to meet your highness. But I saw someone in the capital who looked like the prince."

Tuolu, who was originally nonchalant, widened his eyes when he heard this and asked hurriedly, "Who is it?"

Three months ago, the princess' former maid was found. My father learned that the child born to the princess and his uncle was not dead, but was fostered in a farmer's home in Kangguo.

They sent people to find the family, but the child had been sold. They continued to investigate and found that the child was sold to Kangguo. If the man looked like him, he was most likely the lost child.

My father instructed that we must eradicate the problem completely and not allow the child to exist.

Xu Jia had heard about the brutal methods used by the Northern Rong Khan to kill his father and brother, and even his nephew.

If this person is of the An family's bloodline, the Khan will definitely not let him go.

"Lai Fu is the long-time attendant of Zhou Jin, the prince of the Marquis of Changning." Xu Jia answered. As a spy of the Northern Rong in Kangguo, he has been very familiar with the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital over the years.

The servants and attendants around these people were also kept in record.

When Tuolu heard this, he smiled cruelly, "Xu Jia, go check if this Lai Fu was sold from Xujia Village in Wanjia Town?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Jia agreed.

This was easy to check. I found out in which year Lai Fu was sold to the Changning Marquis Mansion, then looked for the indenture in the official files and found Liuji Pawnshop. I then went to Liuji Pawnshop to inquire and found out that Lai Fu was sold from Xujia Village in Wanlian Town.

After Beirong Prince Tuolu learned the exact news, he immediately said to Xu Jia: "Xu Jia, if you can tie up Lai Fu, tie him up. If you can't tie him up, kill him. In short, we must see him alive or dead."

Xu Jia learned that neither the Khan nor the prince would let Lai Fu go, and although he knew that the task was a bit difficult, he still accepted it.

"Yes, Your Highness. But the Changning Marquisate is not an ordinary noble family, and there are many experts. So we can only take action when Lai Fu comes out, and we can't act too hastily."

Tuolu frowned and asked, "Can't we just assassinate him? This time, I brought a lot of experts with me, and I can assign them to you."

"Your Highness, please do not take it lightly..." Xu Jia hurriedly tried to stop him. He would have dared to do the same to any other family in the capital, such as the powerful Prince's Uncle's Mansion, but he would not dare to do the same to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion.

Over the years, there have been people who have sneaked into the Changning Marquis Mansion in the dark of night, but some of them got in but couldn't get out.

Even recently, two groups of assassins who wanted to destroy the high-yield seeds all died in the manor of Changning Marquis Mansion.

After hearing Xu Jia's explanation, Prince Tuolu gradually calmed down, "Okay, I will stay in Da Zhou for a month. I will give you one month to kill Lai Fu."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Jia agreed.

After receiving the order, he asked someone to keep an eye on the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

But after waiting for seven days, I didn't see Lai Fu go out.

Although the Prince of Changning had a leg injury and was unable to walk, making it inconvenient for him to leave the house, he was not cut off from contact with the outside world.

Lai Fu is the personal attendant of the Prince of Changning. He runs errands for Prince Zhou when he cannot go out. It is impossible for him to stay at home for seven consecutive days.

After Xu Jia discovered this anomaly, he kidnapped the manager in charge of purchasing at the Changning Marquis' Mansion.

Manager Zhou is fat and makes a lot of money from purchasing. He is in charge of the spices in the marquis's mansion and handles a lot of money.

At this time, two people were carrying Manager Zhou, who was covered with a sack, to a remote and dilapidated courtyard.

Manager Zhou's mouth was blocked. He calmed down and looked for an opportunity.

Being thrown to the ground and poured out of the sack.

Several masked men asked, "Manager Zhou, why hasn't Lai Fu left the house recently? Where has he been?"

Manager Zhou was secretly surprised that these people knew his background. He pretended to tremble and thought about how to save his life.
