On the second day, Huo Chenan and Zhang San started working early in the morning. They first found a carriage, then built a shelf on the carriage, and finally moved the sprouted tomato seedlings onto the shelf.
Huo Chenan was going to transplant these tomato seedlings to the farm.
When Huo Chenan left, everyone in the Su Mansion came to see him off, including the sisters Su Ruyi and Su Linglong.
Huo Chenan looked at the reluctant look of the little girl and wanted to say something to her, but when he saw Su Linglong's sharp eyes, he held back all his words and drove away from the Su Mansion like flying in the carriage.
…
The reward notice for the three Ma Daha people had been posted on the notice board at the city gate.
The curious crowd had already surrounded the notice board in three layers, listening to the people inside reading aloud.
When everyone learned the content of the notice, they all talked about it.
"Isn't this Ma Daha a gangster from the Tyrant Gang? When did he become a chivalrous man?"
"That's right. I think this official is blind. He actually rewarded these bullies. Who can make decisions for us ordinary people?"
"My dear, be careful with your words. Be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall."
The Tyrant Gang does not have a good reputation. Most of the onlookers sneered at this reward order.
Ma Daha, who was disguised and mixed in the crowd, was pale at this time. The scene he imagined of everyone praising him did not appear. Instead, they were unanimously criticized.
"Hmph, a group of fools." Ma Daha left the city gate angrily and returned to the Tyrant Gang.
...
Inside the Peony Building.
A man was kneeling on one knee, reporting to Miss Peony what happened last night.
"Reporting, Saint, the government issued a notice this morning, saying that three knights helped the government to wipe out the Japanese pirates last night."
Mudan raised her eyebrows and asked: "Oh? What is the background of those three people?"
"It is said that... they are the gangsters of the Batian Gang."
"Gangsters?" Miss Mudan sneered: "A bunch of useless Japanese pirates, a few gangsters can't handle it."
Mudan paused and said: "Report the matter truthfully, our mission is over. The rest does not need us to take care of it."
"Yes!" The man said with a fist.
"Oh, by the way, I fought with Chu Liuxiang of the Toad Palace last night. He is good at fighting. If you can design to get rid of him, it will definitely hurt the Toad Palace. Find more people and plan it well."
"Yes."
... "Pop," with a crisp sound, Ma Daha covered half of his face and looked at his boss Chen Batian in surprise.
"How dare you provoke the Japanese? You know that the Japanese pirates come and go without a trace, and the government can't do anything about them. You are really an old man who wants to hang himself!" Chen Tianba said angrily. "Boss, I didn't know that they were Japanese. It was dark at night and I couldn't see clearly." Ma Daha hurriedly explained. "Tell me the whole story, don't miss any details." Chen Batian said angrily. Ma Daha didn't dare to hide anything and told the whole story. After listening to Ma Daha's narration, Chen Batian said with a gloomy face: "Hand over all the one thousand taels." Hearing the boss's words, Ma Daha knew that his one thousand taels could not be kept, and he couldn't help but dejected. Chen Batian waved his hand to signal Ma Daha to get out. After Ma Daha left, he took out a piece of letter paper and wrote down in detail what Ma Daha had described, then sealed the envelope with wax and found a capable subordinate to send the envelope out.
…
Prince Wu's Mansion, Prince Wu's Study.
The old housekeeper hunched over and reported the investigation in a trembling manner: "Your Highness, all the Japanese said that they came to assassinate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
At this time, the King of Wu sat behind the desk with a gloomy face. He asked, "How are the Crown Prince's people?"
"I sent them all out to hunt down the Japanese pirates, and no one can contact the criminals."
Only after hearing this did the King of Wu's face lighten up a little. He asked again, "Have you found out who ordered them?"
"It was a Japanese named Yamamoto Gangmen, and they don't know anything else."
The King of Wu nodded slightly and said, "These people came to assassinate me, and they died after not being able to withstand the torture."
The old housekeeper understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.
The King of Wu continued, "Go and contact Kikuzanjiro and ask him to land in Nantong County. I have something for him to do."
"Yes." The old housekeeper promised again.
...
The King of Wu's Mansion, the Prince's Palace.
The Prince was very depressed. For safety reasons, he did not leave Jinling and return to the capital immediately, but stayed for a few days.
What made the Prince depressed was that his Jinyiwei failed to collect any useful clues, and he himself was like being under house arrest, and all his whereabouts were under the surveillance of the King of Wu.
Just as the Prince was sighing in the garden, Princess Jialing rushed over.
"My brother, why are you sighing?"
The prince smiled bitterly and said, "When I was in the capital, I was stuck in the palace all day long. Now I have to stay in the mansion all day long in Jinling. Jialing, why do you think everyone wants to be born in an imperial family, but those who are born in an imperial family are not as free as ordinary people. Why is that?"
"My brother, Jialing doesn't understand these things, but Jialing knows that delicacies from mountains and seas can make people full, and simple meals can also make people full, but people who eat simple meals always envy people who eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and people who eat delicacies from mountains and seas will get tired of them after eating for a long time."
The prince was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, Jialing, Jialing. What great truth can be related to eating in your mouth?"
Princess Jialing playfully stuck out her tongue at the prince.
The prince continued, "But what you said does make sense. It is always human desire that controls human nature. When human desire is less likely to be satisfied, people become more greedy."
"Okay, my brother, don't be sad here. It's rare for us to come out once. Let's go around Jinling in the next few days."
"Okay, I'll do as you say!" The prince agreed.
...
Princess Zhaoning's palace.
"Son-in-law, I'm tired, let's take a rest." Princess Zhaoning said coquettishly.
"Ah? Oh! Princess, you should take a rest first, I'll read a book for a while." Chen Shimei said.
"Son-in-law, what book are you reading? No book is as good as me!" Princess Zhaoning said coquettishly.
Chen Shimei looked at Princess Zhaoning, who looked ordinary and felt good about herself, and instantly felt like vomiting the overnight meal.
"Princess, I was a little scared last night, and I'm really scared. Can you let me rest for a few days?" Chen Shimei begged.
Hearing this, Princess Zhaoning hurried forward and asked with concern: "Prince consort, are you okay? Well, you should have a good rest and don't overwork yourself." Chen Shimei responded to Princess Zhaoning verbally, but in his heart he was thinking of the beautiful figure he saw in front of the Prince of Wu's mansion - Qin Wushuang.
