Tang Mo just casually sighed, but he didn't expect his mother to be anxious because of it. He hurriedly said, "Don't think too much, mother. I'm just talking. I know what to do in my heart. I'm getting better now. How could I do something stupid?"

"Please don't be impulsive. Let's take it slow."

He was afraid that his mother would do the same as Xin An and send Tang Rong on his way with just a packet of medicine.

To be honest, Tang Rong should thank him very much. If he hadn't persuaded him like this, his grave would have been overgrown with grass. It wouldn't be a pity for him to die, but as long as he had taken action, there would definitely be clues. It would not be worth it if he was found out and punished.

Is he worthy of paying Tang Rong's life?

Seeing him so anxious, Wang couldn't help but laugh. Tang Mo was still anxious, "Did mother listen to everything I said?"

"Listen, listen."

Wang was very perfunctory and Tang Mo was helpless. He thought that he must never talk nonsense in front of her mother in the future, so as not to make her anxious and angry.

After lunch, Xin An continued to take a nap. She was very sleepy now, as if she wanted to make up for all the time she didn’t get enough sleep in her previous life. She could sleep well and fall asleep as soon as she got into bed.

Tang Mo was so envious that he just wanted to take a comfortable nap with them without caring about anything else. Then, thinking about the burden on his shoulders, he gritted his teeth and went out.

Nowadays, he always chooses to ride a horse when he goes out on errands, and he doesn't even bring Lai Lai with him. His two guards are completely idle and have become Xin An's errand boys.

He looked somewhat heroic on horseback, and with his outstanding appearance and good figure, he would attract the attention of many young girls and beautiful women on his way out every day. Of course, he didn't know this and didn't think he had the ability to attract the favor of girls.

"Second brother Tang."

I rode my horse to Linquan Street and met Zhuang Shi who had just come out of the restaurant. "Why are you here? Is everything alright at home?"

Tang Mo did not dismount, and said with a smile: "My wife was feeling a little unwell, but she is fine now."

"I'll go back and report for duty first, and come back later."

He rode away in style, and Zhuang Shi also took his horse and climbed on. The two walked one after the other. After a while, Tang Mo suddenly stopped and asked, "Wu Saner, what did you buy?"

A skinny man was holding a large oil-paper bag in his arms. He looked around wildly and almost fell down when he saw Tang Mo. "Second Master, I have relatives coming to my house. Please buy some food for them."

"No... don't disturb the Second Master's patrol."

Zhuang Shi caught up with him. Wu San'er was a thug on this street. He was the only one left at home. He would wander around the streets when he had nothing to do. He would either take advantage of young girls or break into houses. He was one of the people the two men were paying close attention to. "Didn't you buy a basket of vegetables this morning?"

Wu San'er was obviously very nervous. Tang Mo got off his horse and walked forward to open a corner of the oil paper package, revealing a coarse flour steamed bun. "How many relatives are here?"

"Three...three."

“That’s enough food for three people.”

Zhuang Shi also got off the horse. He was stronger than Tang Mo, with a square face and thick eyebrows. He looked quite imposing when he frowned. "Tell me the truth. Did you kidnap a decent girl?"

"Two kids were lost in the city recently, but you hid them?"

Wu Saner's legs were shaking like sieves, "My two lords, I don't have the courage to do that. I don't have that courage."

Tang Mo glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Lead the way, go see your relatives."

Wu San, who had something to hide, was almost scared to death. Zhuang Shi threatened him again and gave him a promise that there would be a reward for reporting the crime. Wu San, who liked to steal and cheat, had not yet committed a crime, so he knelt down tremblingly and said, "I confess. I beg for forgiveness, gentlemen. I was blinded by money..."

The two of them originally wanted to trick Wu Saner, but they didn't expect that there was really something going on, and it was a big deal. Tang Mo was a little excited, thinking that the opportunity to make a contribution had finally come, so he asked Zhuang Shi to ride back quickly to call for help, and he and Wu Saner went to block the people first.

As soon as Zhuang Shi left, Tang Mo dragged Wu San'er to his home, not forgetting to threaten and make big promises, "Put in some effort, and if you succeed in keeping the man in check, I'll give you twenty taels of silver, which is enough for you to marry a wife, and I can also keep you as a spy; if you can't keep him in check, I'll make you eat rotten rice in a cell for the rest of your life."

Wu Saner automatically ignored the latter sentence, thinking that twenty taels was a huge sum of money, he agreed immediately, and took Tang Mo to find another second-rate guy to get the knockout drug, sprinkled it on the steamed bun, and ran back, leaving Tang Mo to wait for news outside.

Half an hour later, the bustle on the street attracted many people to come and watch. More than twenty Beiya soldiers escorted seven or eight bandits out of Wu Saner's house. These people were engaged in human trafficking and did not have a fixed hideout in the city.

Every time they come, they look for someone like Wu Saner, who has a large house with no one else at home. By giving him some money and threatening him, they can turn him into their hideout. Using the excuse of being a distant relative is less likely to arouse suspicion.

I didn't expect Wu Saner to poison everyone in the room for twenty taels.

"I heard that these people have kidnapped several girls and children. They are completely heartless."

"Luckily he was caught and is staying here with us. I am terrified just thinking about it."

"It's a good thing that the general has sharp eyes, otherwise what would have happened?"

The onlookers were whispering, with fear on their faces, and soon there was another sound of crying. It turned out that the family of the lost girl and baby got the news and came to look for them. Liao Zhi had handed the matter over to the people of Jingzhao Prefecture, and their job was over after handing over. Those who came to look for them would be taken care of by the people of Jingzhao Yin.

"Thank you, brothers from the Northern Army. We will definitely hold a banquet once this matter is settled. I hope you will come and show us your presence."

These people could not be caught, and the missing people could not be found. The people in the Jingzhao government could not eat every day. You should know that among the missing people, there was the nephew and grandson of Prime Minister Ouyang.

"You're welcome. It's just a coincidence that we met. You guys go ahead and get busy."

Tang Mo looked normal but was very excited. He had been in the Beiya Army for so long and had been patrolling the streets and maintaining public order every day. He had no chance to do anything big. Who would have thought that he would encounter such a thing today.

He has made a great contribution. When luck comes, it cannot be stopped.

Liao Zhi smiled and patted his arm. "I should have asked you to go back home to rest and apply some medicine to your wound, but there are still things to do. Please bear with it."

Two people who were not seriously drugged resisted fiercely and hit the back of Tang Mo's hand with a chair, breaking a piece of skin, but in Liao Zhi's opinion, it was not considered an injury.

Tang Mo was not that squeamish. There were doctors in their Beiya Army. He could just bandage the wound when he returned. He was full of energy at the moment.

At this moment, the people in the Marquis' Mansion were unaware of what was happening outside. The craftsmen in the mansion had already begun repairing the courtyard where the two concubines lived. After Aunt Cai and Aunt Liu whispered to each other, Concubine Yue complained of a dull pain in her stomach. The palace doctor wished she could move directly to Chunhua Courtyard.

In the afternoon, Aunt Yu went out for a walk and sprained her ankle again. The court doctor came again, and before anyone left, Tao Yiran vomited again. Aunt Cai said she couldn't sit still anymore, so she hurried out.
