After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Hearing this, Gundam nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Zhang Li entered Luo Tao's study. Luo Tao didn't know what he was looking at, but he was fascinated by it.

"Sir, Gundam would like to see you."

Hearing Zhang Li's voice, Luo Tao raised his head.

"Gundam? What is he doing here at this hour?"

"Master Qi, something happened to Master Tao. The servant saw that Gundam looked nervous. It should not be a trivial matter."

Luo Tao frowned when he heard this, and he had a headache when Tao Guang was mentioned.

Since Tao Guang was his distant relative, he had always taken good care of him over the years.

But Tao Guang is really a man of shortcomings in character and has done all kinds of bad things. He will be tricked every once in a while, and he has to clean up the mess every time.

At first, Luo Tao didn't say anything for the sake of his relatives, but as time went on, he inevitably became a little irritated.

However, Tao Guang has one advantage: he is very sensible.

Whenever Tao Guang had something good, he would bring it to honor him. Over the years, he had been receiving constant gifts of money, which he was very satisfied with.

Let's just say that Luo Tao got half of the embezzled public funds without any effort. This temptation is indeed not small.

If it weren't for Tao Guang's sensible nature, he wouldn't bother to care about Tao Guang's troubles.

Just because of Tao Guang, his reputation has been ruined, and all the previous years of efforts to maintain his image in front of the people of Qinan have been in vain. Every time Luo Tao thinks about it, he has to greet Tao Guang in his heart.

Luo Tao sighed. He didn't know what trouble he caused this time, and someone was sent to look for him late at night.

"Let him in."

No matter how reluctant Luo Tao was, he couldn't turn people away. After all, he still lived a luxurious life based on Tao Guang's filial piety.

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, Zhang Li came back with Gundam.

"This servant has met the prefect."

"No courtesy, we are all old acquaintances. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Hearing this, Gundam nodded, "Thank you, sir."

Time was running out, so Gao Da briefly told Luo Tao what happened.

"Master Taishou, my master and Master Zheng are currently imprisoned in the woodshed of Tao Mansion. The Fifth Prince has sent people to guard them closely. Please save my master."

After listening to Gundam's story, Luo Tao's expression did not change significantly. He just replied calmly: "Okay, I understand. You go back first, and I will make arrangements to rescue people tonight."

Gao Gao was overjoyed when he heard this. Since Governor Luo is willing to take action, the Lord will be saved.

"Thank you for your help, sir. Do you need me to bring someone to the Tao Mansion to help you?"

Luo Tao shook his head, "No, I have my own arrangements. Just go back and wait for news."

"Yes, that slave will retire now."

After Gundam left, Zhang Li asked: "Sir, how many people should we send to rescue the two adults?"

Luo Tao thought for a moment, "Just send a team of people, but it's not to save them, but to kill them."

After listening to Luo Tao's words, Zhang Li opened his eyes in disbelief, "What? Sir, you..."

Luo Tao said very calmly: "You heard me right, what I am talking about is killing people and silencing them."

Zhang Li couldn't digest the news for a while, "Sir, Master Tao is related to you after all, and you just gave up on him? Then you just..."

Zhang Li was shocked by his master's instant change. He had just agreed to Gundam's request without any hesitation. Who would have thought that as soon as he left, his master would silence him.

Luo Tao said helplessly: "I just want to stabilize him, and I can't alert him. Zhang Li, how many times have I told you that those who want to achieve great things must be ruthless and not merciful. You heard it just now, Tao Guang What he did this time is not trivial, and there are both witnesses and material evidence. He was caught red-handed, how else can I help him?"

Although Zhang Li understood the truth, he still couldn't accept this sudden change.

"These slaves understand what you are talking about, but this..."

Before Zhang Li could finish speaking, Luo Tao interrupted him.

"Listen to what I have to say first. Did you hear just now who caught them?"

"The fifth prince."

"Thankfully you heard it. Who is the fifth prince? Can I, a prefect, afford to offend the legitimate son of the current emperor? What did you ask me to do to save them? If I come forward because of them, not only will I be freed If you can't get rid of their suspicions, you will get involved yourself, so why bother?"

After hearing these words, Zhang Li finally understood and nodded silently.

Seeing that Zhang Li finally understood, Luo Tao continued: "Gaoda also said that I would send people to rescue them. Is the fifth prince a freeloader? He can't even put a finger on this relationship between us. We can find out. If these two people disappear, won't the fifth prince suspect me? How many heads do I have that I can chop off?"

Luo Tao yelled at Zhang Li, and Zhang Li finally understood what he was thinking.

"Sir, these slaves understand what you are talking about. However, it's fine if you don't save me. Why do you need to kill me?"

Luo Tao looked at Zhang Li's sincere eyes with helplessness. Zhang Li was good at everything, but he was too easy to be soft-hearted. To put it bluntly, he was a woman's benevolence.

"You, when will you learn to be more ruthless? If I don't save them, they will inevitably feel resentful. If I surrender them, won't they just be left with nothing to eat? It's better to just cut the knot with a sharp knife. After all, the only option is death. Talents don’t talk nonsense, don’t you think?”

Zhang Li nodded when he heard this. Although he did not agree with the Lord's approach, judging from the current situation, he could understand the Lord's mood.

As the Lord's bodyguard, he must obey orders, so tonight's silence operation is imperative.

Since you can't change anything, just follow the adults' instructions.

Zhang Li said nothing more and said respectfully: "Yes, sir, I will make arrangements right away."

Seeing that Zhang Li finally said what he needed to say, Luo Tao nodded.

Luo Tao thought for a moment and then ordered: "Go ahead, remember to do it cleanly and don't leave any clues. The guards of the fifth prince are all masters of the inner circle. A head-on confrontation will not work. You have to use some means. As long as the guard The person who handles it can just handle it, and the others should not touch it."

Zhang Li nodded when he heard this, "Yes, I understand."

It was already night after Yun Qi Yunfei sent everyone home safely. As soon as he returned to Tao Mansion, he came to report to Jamel Xiao.

"Your Highness and Crown Prince, I have sent everyone home safely. Their families are very grateful to you two, and they also said that they would come to thank you in person, but I have declined on your behalf. In addition, Ning Xue has already diagnosed and treated them and treated their wounds. As for the mentally disturbed girls, Ningxue has prescribed medicine for them. As long as they go back and take medicine on time and rest well, they will slowly recover."
