Huang Jian's face changed color so scared that he looked at Cai's tent, "Mr. Cai, you have made a frustrated young man." After that, he hurried downstairs. "San Young Master, don't get me wrong. I didn't know about this in advance! They even lied to me. I really don't do my business!"

Yu Ren quietly watched the young master Xu San downstairs.

"Brother-in-law, you don't have to be so polite to this guy. I've sent someone to inquire. Although this young master Xu looks like a family, he is actually very narrow-minded. This time we sold his knitted house, he might be cursing you in his heart! Where else would he make friends with you?

We have to do this cleanly, so we can't let him catch any handle."

Yu Ren was a little surprised. This young master Xu San looked a bit like a family member, but he didn't expect that he was such a cautious person. He felt a little regretful. However, he was not worried. So he said to Xu Qian, "Just go and do this, I won't care." After that, Yu Ren turned around and went downstairs.

Three days later, Cao An and Cai Chanfang brought the money to the Xu family for transactions. Xu Sanshao did not come forward again, but only sent a housekeeper to preside over the host. Cao An and Cai Chanfang moved all the looms of the Xu family to the place, and they had already built a new garden for this.

Afterwards, Xu Qian quietly told Yu Ren that the people he sent to lure Xu Laosi had also successfully obtained the money. In order to reduce the trouble, she had asked these people to send the money back to Nansha Island.

"Did you find something abnormal in the Xu family?" Yu Ren asked.

"Not yet, I just heard from the Cai Guanfang that the last time Huang Jian disappeared, probably because Xu San Shao took his anger on him and sent someone to do it."

"Then you have to teach them a few people who are trapped. Since Mr. Xu can even do Huang Jian, he will not let them go easily. This 20,000 taels of silver is not that easy to get. Let them be careful of Mr. Xu. The sooner they leave Songjiang, the better. In addition, it is best to let them not contact us this time, so as not to be discovered by the Xu family."

"Don't worry, brother-in-law! Although the Xu family looks from the outside, their family business is quite large, but in terms of strength, they are no longer the same. Now that the Xu family is no longer an official, they want to make things difficult for us, but they are afraid they will not be able to make a big fuss. Moreover, since you left last time, I arranged for someone to send 1,000 taels of silver to the greedy official Jiao. With this kind of relationship, even if there is a handle in the hands of someone else and stabbed him to Old Man Jiao, he will also focus on covering us." Xu Qian said.

Yu Ren stopped talking, and he had to admit that although Xu Qian was young, she was very considerate when doing things.

"Since you have prepared, I will be relieved. I happened to spend some time on the island and stay at home for a few more days. Maybe there would be no such peaceful life."

"Why don't we take a boat to Taihu Lake to play! I've grown up so old, I haven't been to Taihu Lake yet! I heard that Taihu Lake is very big and there are thieves inside. I don't know what it looks like. I would have the chance to meet it?" Xu Qian said with a message.

Yu Ren smiled, "You girl is really funny. People go to Taihu Lake to either enjoy the scenery of the lake or the mountains or to visit famous places, but you are going to search for water thieves. This is the first time I heard of it."

"No, I heard that there was a group of thieves in Taihu Lake, similar to the heroes on Liangshan who were told by the storytellers in the Water Margin, and they were specially robbed wealth and helped greed. So I wanted to see what they looked like."

As the two were talking, suddenly someone came to report outside, saying that a stranger broke into the mansion and said that there was something important to find Miss Xu.

The two of them were secretly wondering who they were, and they were so anxious about what they were. So they went out together to find out what was going on.

As soon as he left the inner house, Xu Qian saw a young man waiting at the door. Xu Qian recognized him at a glance. He was Shun Ge'er, the elder brother's follower.

"Brother Shun, why are you here?" Xu Qian was a little surprised. Brother Shun would not come out alone easily. It seems that something must have happened on the island.

Sure enough, Brother Shun quickly met Xu Qian. "Miss, something happened!"

Yu Ren quickly stopped Shun Ge'er and continued to talk, and then took him to a secret room in the inner house. Yu Ren knew that the news that Shun Ge'er brought was related to the Xu family. He didn't want the people of the Shen family to know what they had to do with pirates like the Xu family. After all, these people were not his confidants.

If they knew about such a secret matter, someone might take it to sue the official. Even if he didn't sue the official, he would encounter a big mouth and stab it out, it would be enough for him to trouble.

"What's wrong?" Yu Ren was the first to ask as soon as he entered the secret room.

"Once, something big happened!" Shun Ge'er said anxiously. "Many officers and soldiers surrounded our island. The young master asked me to pass on the message to the lady and Mr. Yu, and let you go back quickly."

Yu Ren was surprised, "What's going on?"

"We don't know either! It was fine a few days ago. The day before yesterday, many warships of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared around the island, patrolling back and forth. The boss sent people to inquire, and then he realized that several small islands around us had been occupied by officers and soldiers.

The boss quickly asked everyone to prepare for the war quickly, and the young master sent me to rush out of the siege quietly at night to report to the lady and Yu Gong, and ask you to return to the island quickly."

Brother Shun finished speaking in one breath and felt a little angry. Yu Ren picked up a cup of tea on the table and handed it to him.

"What should I do? Brother-in-law, let's go back quickly!" Xu Qian was also anxious.

Yu Ren pondered for a while and shook his head. "The situation is unclear at this time, and we just went back empty-handed, which would not help the boss. If we really fight with the officers and soldiers, we will not affect the overall situation with more than two of us.

The key now is that we must find a way to first understand the deployment of the officers and soldiers. Then send these messages back to the boss as soon as possible. This is the greatest help to them. I think what the boss wants us to do the most is exactly this."

Xu Qian was originally a smart person, but because she suddenly heard this news, she was worried about the safety of her father and brother, but she didn't expect this level. When she heard Yu Ren's speech, she suddenly woke up.

"Okay, I'll find someone to find out the news. There are still a few spies in Songjiang City." After saying that, Xu Qian hurried out.

After Xu Qian left, Yu Ren was not idle either. He immediately summoned Cao An in and asked him to secretly start hoarding food. It just so happened that their Shen family had a rice shop in Songjiang, so the reason was justified.

"How much do you want to collect?" Cao An asked.

This is one or two months after the autumn harvest. It is a good time to collect grain, and all rice shops are also collecting grain.

“The more, the better.”

After hearing this, Cao An couldn't help but frown. "Young Master, our family just collected and sold the Xu family's weaving house a few days ago, and there is not much money available on hand!"

"It's okay. You use our two weaving houses as collateral and borrow 50,000 taels of silver from the big money shop in the city, specifically for collecting grain."

Cao An was surprised. "Young Master, why do you collect so much grain? This autumn, the grain and rice harvest in Susong area is good, and the price is not high. According to the current market price, the 50,000 taels of silver can be charged 200,000 to 300,000 dan! Our family only has a rice shop. No matter how good the business is, there is no need to stock up so much rice! Besides, with so much rice and grain, our rice warehouse is not enough."

"Don't worry about what you do, anyway, I have my own use. As for the fact that there is no rice warehouse, you can collect rice and repair a few temporary rice warehouses to stack them first." Yu Ren said.

Cao An wanted to ask again, and Yu Ren had already urged him to do it quickly. "You do what I do first. Now I don't have time to explain to you slowly. When I have time in the future, I will explain to you slowly."

Cao An knew that his young master had always had different ideas, had many friends and had wide paths. Although he didn't know the reason, he still meticulously followed Yu Ren's instructions. After sending Cao An away, Yu Ren was anxiously waiting for the news at home. At dinner time, Xu Qian still didn't see him come back, and Yu Ren couldn't help but get anxious. But there was no way. He had never even contacted any of the Xu family's suspicion in Songjiang Mansion, and he had no choice but to go to find Xu Qian.

Only wait.

Because it is the new book period and it takes time to accumulate readers, it has to slow down the update. The next month, there will be a daily update. I hope everyone can understand my difficulties. However, those who urge to update to meet the conditions will not be listed here.
