"Welcome to our station! The house has been cleaned."

The merchant walked to the innermost room and pushed open the creaking wooden door.

Liu Lang: "Right here? Aren't you a wealthy businessman? Or do you live in a mansion and ask us envoys to live here?"

The rich businessman cried out: "How can that be possible! We live next door to you."

Liu Lang didn't believe it: "How can you live in a place like this when you are dressed so well?"

When talking about this, the rich businessman couldn't help but shed tears.

"Originally, although the house we lived in was not as luxurious as the one covering dozens of acres, it also had a courtyard. But the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang was not a human being! She spread the false news that the northern troops were at the gates of the city!"

"I'm thinking that since we have people coming to our house, we might as well sell this house at a high price, and save some money for the second young master."

The businessman burst into tears: "I never thought it was a trap! The house was sold! But when the news was cleared, I couldn't buy it back with the money I had!"

Liu Lang gasped: "How much did you sell it for?"

"70% off."

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

"There's nothing I can do. A group of people came out of nowhere and offered a large number of luxury houses for sale at a 70% discount. I'm in a hurry to make money, so I have no choice but to sell at a low price."

Liu Lang thought this was just a joke: "Who has the ability to buy so many luxury houses in one go?!"

The merchant said confidently: "The emperor of the Great Zhou."

Liu Lang narrowed his eyes, which were filled with coldness. "You have indeed fallen into a trap. This is a trap set by the wife of Yongchang Marquis and the Emperor of the Great Zhou! Humph, if they plunder the people to this extent, the Great Zhou will be finished sooner or later!"

It was not clear whether the Great Zhou would be completed or not, but it was already late at night, and Liu Lang and the others had to endure the humiliation in this small house for the entire night.

"Forget it, a great man should hide himself in the city. I believe no one will come here to investigate." Liu Lang comforted himself.

The weather was favorable and as night fell, a drizzle began to fall.

"Joys and sorrows are always merciless, I will just sit here on the steps and wait till dawn." Liu Lang tossed and turned, sighing, "I don't know where Master is now, is he safe?"

Liu Lang is an orphan who has been following his master around since he was young to make a living. Although he was short of money, his master still tried his best to let Liu Lang learn to read and write.

It can be said that the master’s kindness to Liu Lang is as heavy as a mountain. He is like a biological father to Liu Lang.

But when the master and his apprentice went to Beijing to make a big move, the master came back in a panic and divided his family property into two parts, giving a large part to Liu Lang and asking him to go north. The master kept only a small part for himself and prepared to go south.

Liu Lang didn't know what was going on, but he always listened to his master.

Unexpectedly, it took more than a year since we last met and I never heard from my master again.

Liu Lang was worried and angry at Kyoto. He thought his master must have offended the powerful people in the capital, so he had to flee in panic.

I spent the whole night thinking like this.

With dark circles under his eyes, Liu Lang asked the rich businessman to mobilize his connections to visit officials and inquire about the news about Marquis Yongchang.

At first, the officials accepted the gifts and invited the rich businessman and Liu Lang into the mansion, but when they heard that it was related to Marquis Yongchang, their faces drooped.

"Take this gift back. I cannot accept it."

"For the sake of our long-standing friendship, I'm giving you some advice. Even His Majesty hasn't decided how long the Marquis of Yongchang will be imprisoned, let alone us."

"When he can come out depends on Madam Yongchang!"

"Don't waste your time worrying about this. I'm telling you, no one will dare to accept your gifts, and no one will dare to interfere in this matter."

After being rejected several times, Liu Lang finally realized the reality. If he took the right path, he would not be able to get out of Yongchang Marquis unless his wife agreed.

But the wife of Marquis Yongchang was not just angry for a moment as they thought? !

She clearly saw through the uselessness of Marquis Yongchang and did not want to tarnish the reputation of the Marquis's mansion, so she took this opportunity to put Marquis Yongchang in jail!

"Fortunately, it's not the wife of Marquis Yongchang who is guarding the border." Liu Lang sighed.

"Then what should we do? There is no progress in the task assigned by the Second Young Master. When can I return home?" The rich businessman was fed up with living in a small house.

Although I can spend money to rent some houses, but wouldn't that be another mission? To provide activity funds for the mission, I have to be frugal.

"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

The merchant felt that he and Liu Lang were in the same boat, so he confided in his heart: "The city is too tricky, I want to go back to the countryside."

The businessman had a little hobby, which was betting, but he had suffered several big losses from the wife of Marquis Yongchang, and there was not much of the private money he had saved over the years left.

If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll go back with nothing.

Liu Lang was also very anxious to complete this task. If he failed to achieve results this time, the Second Young Master might never entrust him with important tasks again in the future.

"Madam Yongchang, this is so terrifying. We must be careful! We must act carefully and not reveal our true identity."

Liu Lang frowned and paced back and forth: "There is a group of people who are lawless and willing to do anything as long as they are paid."

"Killer?!"

Liu Lang rolled his eyes: "It's not that easy to find a killer, not to mention do you have that much money?"

"No."

"So we are looking for those people in the underworld!" They are cheap and easy to use, and they won't cause any trouble for themselves. As long as we find a leader...

Liu Lang spent three days wandering around the street of Fuquan Teahouse and finally found the right candidate, that was Boss Qiu.

Ever since Boss Qiu lost his job with Su Erlang, his life has been going from bad to worse.

He couldn't stand it any longer, so he honestly sold his physical labor to earn money and only focused on figuring out how to make money quickly.

Look, when he and Liu Lang met for the first time, it was like a sweet rain after a long drought, and both sides were extremely satisfied.

"Money is easy to talk about. As long as you successfully rescue Marquis Yongchang from the prison, I can ensure your safety!" Liu Lang made a big promise.

Boss Qiu was given a big bite of cake, but he still had his sanity: "This is a capital crime!"

"Don't worry about this. As long as the Marquis of Yongchang comes out, we will contact the border guards in the suburbs of Beijing and ask them to come forward to confirm that this is the Marquis of Yongchang!"

"Marquis Yongchang has not committed any crime. Your Majesty, what reason does he have to put him in jail? Since he has not committed any crime, even if he is released, you will naturally be heroes, not criminals!"

Liu Lang said in a soothing tone: "This is just a flirtation between the couple. As long as the Marquis comes out, can the wife of the Marquis of Yongchang squeeze him in again?"

Boss Qiu agreed: "Okay, teach us this. You give us a deposit first so that we can buy some equipment."
