It's fine if he missed, but he also hurt Tang Gang. If the Marquis' Mansion tracks him down with all their strength, they may not be able to catch him. Then he can bite me out...

At this moment, Tang Rong felt that his vision was dark. Cai Quan slapped him twice, "It's because I'm useless, but the prince... the Marquis has sent people to track down those people. The leader just found me. They are going to hide out of the city. I extort five thousand taels of silver, otherwise they will betray the prince and spread the news to the streets, saying that the prince wants to get rid of the marquis and the second son for the title."

"You're such a jerk."

Tang Rong kicked Cai Quan angrily, "How did those people know it was me? How did you do it?"

Cai Quan regretted and felt guilty, and slapped himself twice again, "Your Highness, I have never done such a thing before. This is the first time. Although I was cautious, those people still found out my identity and insisted that the master behind me is the Your Highness."

"Prince, if you want to punish me, please wait. That man hasn't left yet. He said he would take action if I don't get the silver before dawn. Prince, what should we do now?"

Tang Rong's eyes were filled with poison. He knew that he couldn't give the silver. If he gave it once, there would be a second time. But what if he didn't give it?

"How many people are there in their group?"

"Six. One showed up and said the remaining five should hide separately. If they were not seen at the agreed time, they were to spread the news."

Cai Quan was talking while secretly glancing at Tang Rong's reaction. He thought that the person behind the scenes was really good at making arrangements, and that the prince would probably agree if he was pressed so hard.

Tang Rong was thinking about how to cover up the matter without giving the silver, and he even thought about abandoning Cai Quan. After thinking it over, he felt that it was not right, so he gritted his teeth and took out his private silver note.

"Tell them that since they have taken the money, they must do the job. I don't care what method they use. If the guy next door is still alive before the beginning of next spring, or if the news leaks out, I will hunt them down to the ends of the earth."

"Including their families."

It's simply a huge loss, how can we not make back the investment?

"You knew who they were before you approached them, right?"

Cai Quan nodded, "I know."

As he said that, he handed a list to Tang Rong, who asked him to copy a copy and give it to the man in black. "Tell me this, you know what will happen if you fail to do this."

Cai Quan took the list trembling, his whole body numb.

He took the banknote and quickly left the mansion, but before he had taken a few steps, he was knocked unconscious and taken away...

"The man in black has appeared too many times, which makes people suspicious. Don't use this trick for the time being."

Tang Mo told Xin An what happened tonight. Xin An frowned slightly and said, "I have other tricks waiting for him."

Tang Mo said: "This time it was not my initiative. He wanted to kill me directly. I was just playing along. Even if it was found out, it was him who hired the murderer."

"If I hadn't been on a good roll recently and didn't want to cause any trouble at this time, there's no way I would have let him get through this so easily."

Xin An looked him over and said, "Don't tell me, you have changed since you came back from your injury. You have more vision and courage."

"Even people are tougher."

Tang Mo held her in his arms and sat her on his lap, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes, "Of course, you are different from the frog in the well in the past. In the past, you only thought about how to make the neighbor uncomfortable, how to take revenge, how to take advantage of others. Now, in addition to these, you also want to make achievements and establish a career. You have to live an upright and honest life."

"The Second Young Master is truly impressive."

Tang Mo's words made Xin An feel that the road ahead was wider. "I'm in the backyard, and I can't see the vast world. The first thing I think about when I see someone is the gains and losses. If I can have the Second Young Master to teach me from time to time, maybe I will be more open-minded."

Tang Mo met her gaze with a smile, "I, as a husband, also get carried away sometimes, so I need your advice, madam."

"It's getting late, wash up and take a rest. We still have books to read, and we need to learn together."

Xin An smiled and patted his shoulder, "Let's talk business."

"Reading the book is also a serious matter."

Tang Mo smiled and picked the man up, "Close the door, this is a big deal."

Xin An covered his face with his hands and laughed so hard that he couldn't stop laughing. His life was becoming more and more frivolous.

The next day, Luo Qiwen found an opportunity to meet Tang Mo and said that he had asked Cai Quan to exchange the banknotes for cash, "leaving him two thousand taels."

"Only if we leave him enough will he be able to do a better job for us."

Tang Mo chuckled, "I will be very busy from now on. To be cautious, you don't need to come to see me unless it's something important. You can keep an eye on other things. I will send someone else to you. You don't need to ask for my opinion on some things."

"Don't worry, sir."

After getting the three thousand taels, Luo Qiwen felt that he was incomparably rich. Not only would his mother and brother live a better life, but it could also help him accomplish many things. If the money was all spent, the prince of the marquisate would still have it.

It was almost noon when the steward of Marquis Qing came to Lin Yao with a basket of fresh vegetables. "The second young lady of the Marquis Weiyuan's mansion sent someone to deliver a basket of vegetables. Madam, take a look. They are very fresh and tender."

Manager Yang processed the harvested vegetables, put them into a prepared shed, watered them with well water, and ventilated them for half a day. This made the vegetables greener and greatly reduced the smell of smoke. They were then sent to the capital as quickly as possible.

"It really is."

The maids and old women around Lin Yao came forward and looked at the dishes curiously. In winter, there was little green on the dinner table. The poor people only wanted to fill their stomachs, while the rich people only wanted to change their taste and missed the green of spring.

"This vegetable is so juicy. It takes a lot of effort to grow such a vegetable in such a cold weather."

Lin Yao picked up a spinach leaf, looked at it, and asked, "Did the person who brought the food say anything else?"

The steward bowed and said, "They said these are grown on the farm of the second son of the Marquis's mansion. Madam, please try the first batch. The farm will send a batch of vegetables to Wanyuan Store on Yinghui Street for sale every other day."

Lin Yao put down the spinach leaves and said, "Tell the buyer to go to Wanyuan Store to place an order. I want ten kilograms of vegetables as long as they are delivered to the Qinghou Mansion."

"Yes."

Food is expensive in winter, but no matter how expensive it is, the Marquis’ Mansion can afford it, so price is not a problem.

At about the same time, families familiar with Xin An, such as the Changhou Mansion, the Wei Family, the Liao Family, the Xu Family, and the Second Prince's Mansion, all received the dishes sent by Xin An. Those who had their own greenhouses gave gifts to Xin An in return, and those who did not have greenhouses sent people to order dishes.

The Wang family received the vegetables and said they would order more. The person who delivered the vegetables said, "The young lady has already ordered that the uncle's and the second master's families should send vegetables every three days. They are all grown on their own farms and are not worth much. It's ridiculous to charge money for a family to eat vegetables."

Mrs. Wang felt embarrassed. Vegetables were not valuable, but they depended on the season. The vegetables grown in the greenhouse outside were lifeless. A pound of vegetables was worth two pounds of meat, let alone such delicious ones.

Wang Mian came over cheerfully and said, "Since it is a show of filial piety from your nephew and his wife, you should not refuse it."

"Tang Yong certainly won't refuse."

Wang glared at him in reproach, then agreed with a smile, and immediately ordered the stove to fry two servings at noon to avoid the waste if they went bad.
