The old procuress answered immediately, and said, "I'll go. I'll go far away. I'll go to the ends of the earth. I'll never come back."

"Since you've already shouldered the crime, you should be given a chance."

The old procuress lifted her head abruptly and thanked him profusely, "Thank you, Mistress, for sparing my life! Thank you, Mistress, for sparing my life! "

Seeing that she was almost finished drinking, Fu Hongda personally pulled her up and said, "Go and pack your luggage before it's daybreak. It's best if you leave the city as soon as the city gates open. Remember, don't come back for the rest of your life."

"Yes, yes, yes. Never come back, never come back …" Before she could finish her promise, the old procuress's eyes suddenly bulged, and her hands clasped around her neck, her entire face quickly turning purple. Then, she stared at Fu Hongda, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief.

Under the bawd's strange gaze, Fu Hongda chuckled softly and muttered to himself, "For the rest of my life, don't come back …"

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, when he was sure the old procuress had completely swallowed her anger, Fu Hongda called towards the door, "Come in."

Ah Ping pushed open the door. When he entered, his eyes glanced at the old procuress, who was no longer breathing. He then walked over to Fu Hongda. "Mistress."

"The people have been cleaned up. From now on, you will be the head of this Thousand Creations Workshop."

Ah Ping concealed the smile on his face as he lowered his head and promised, "Rest assured Master, this little one knows what to do."

Fu Hongda stood up and walked straight towards the door. He stopped halfway and turned around to ask, "Call Bai Xin over after daybreak and have him go to the Fu Mansion."

Ah Ping was stunned. "Mistress, are you planning to …"

"Didn't Bai Xin want to enter? "Fu Ziyan has an extra concubine, so it's not a big deal. Just ask her to come straight to Eldest Young Madam."

The eldest young mistress was naturally Fu Ziyan's direct wife. Fu Ziyan was currently unconscious and could not make the decision, but the eldest young mistress could still speak out to carry his concubine.

Upon hearing Master's words, Ah Ping understood that this young mistress must also be under his lead.

Fu Hongda returned to the manor before dawn. As usual, he began to meet with the stewards of the various stores in the morning. After settling the matter, he went straight to Old Master Fu's courtyard.

Old Master Fu still hadn't woken up yet, but he had been infuriated by the matter of borrowing troops yesterday. Today, he had to drink the first bowl of medicine at the right time and had to be personally fed by Fu Hongda.

When the medicine was delivered, Fu Hongda was holding the account book in his hand and looking through it. After hearing what was said, he moved the account book to the side and carried the medicine into the inner room.

When Lord Fu was shaken awake, his eyelids were still somewhat heavy. He looked at the bowl of bitter medicine and asked, "What time is it?"

"Father, it's time."

Fu Hongda asked, "What important matter do you have? The doctor said that you'd better take a rest for the next two days. "

"Go to Bu Zheng Yamen."

Fu Hongda frowned. "Is it still because of that matter yesterday? "Father, it's better to call elder brother over. If you go personally, the journey will be bumpy and it will definitely harm your body."

Old Man Fu didn't agree. He merely waved his hand and went back to sleep.

Fu Hongda saw that he wasn't going to listen, so he didn't say anything further. He walked out of the inner room and went outside to continue looking at his accounts.

It was already a quarter of an hour when Fu Hongtian came over to pay his respects to the old man. He hadn't expected to see the old man, but he sat down next to him instead. "Fourth brother, there's something I want to tell you."

Fu Hongda did not even raise his head as he casually asked, "What's the matter?"

"About that ancient temple on Min'an Street."

This morning, Fu Hongda had met the shopkeeper of Gu Yunchai. He knew that he had sold a piece of Jade Brush Washing Technique from the previous dynasty, which was said to have been used by the previous dynasty's emperor. The net profit was six hundred taels, which was considered to be the highest profit this month.

"What happened to Gu Yun Zhai?"

Fu Hongtian rubbed his hands together, his face revealing a bit of greed: "I heard that these days, the antiques from the previous dynasty are all selling quite well, I have a jade hairpin that the previous dynasty's princess used, when I went to the Ancient Auction House, the shopkeeper refused to accept it, he said that it was impossible to tell whether it was real or fake, and did not dare to accept it. Fourth Brother, you know that although I do not have much skill, I have a lot of friends, but I am sure that these things are real. Fourth brother, I've brought this jade hairpin. Would you like to take a look? "

When Fu Hongda heard this, he closed the account book in his hand and glared at Fu Hongtian. "Are you in need of money again?"

Fu Hongtian forced a smile and said, "It's not me, it's my family. Her family has a little brother who is gravely ill and needs to go back to recuperate. Didn't I just think that if I were to give a few thousand taels of silver to her, she would also have some face.

"Sister-in-law, you're willing to spend several thousand taels?" Fu Hongda did not continue pointing it out and sighed. "Let me take a look at the jade hairpin."

Fu Hongtian quickly took out the jade hairpin.

Fu Hongda turned the jade hairpin around and looked at it for a while. On the other hand, it was a proper purple jade.

Fu Hongda understood the shopkeeper's misgivings. This kind of item was definitely not something that the shop would dare to casually accept. Moreover, he didn't know where Fu Hongtian found it, nor did he know where it came from.

"How much are you planning to sell it for?" Fu Hongda asked.

Fu Hongtian stretched out his finger, made an eight, then changed it to seven: "Seven hundred taels."

Fu Hongda returned the hairpin to him. "Two hundred liang."

Fu Hongtian cried out, "Fourth brother, my blood brother, you can't let your little brother make a loss. We are family, so if you put it in the shop, you can sell it for at least a thousand taels of silver. Just treat it as helping your little brother out, okay?" Younger brother will definitely remember this kindness for the rest of his life. "

Fu Hongda and Fu Hongtian were not the same mother, but since they were both born into the same family, they could be considered to have been supported since young. Seeing Fu Hongtian's unrelenting attitude, Fu Hongda knew that he really had to help out. In the end, Fu Hongda could only say, "The item is only worth two hundred liang, but I can lend you five hundred liang."

"This loan, isn't it to be repaid?" Fu Hongtian was unhappy.

Fu Hongda coldly said, "Then you can go. Is it worth it? I don't even want to buy Gu Yun Zhai."

"This …" Fu Hongtian gritted his teeth and agreed: "Fine, only two hundred taels. If I were to borrow five hundred taels from big brother, I will definitely return it."

After sending Fu Hongtian off, Fu Hongda held onto the hairpin and took a look. He then said to the servant outside, "Find a brocade box and bring it over."

The servant quickly brought the box.

Fu Hongda put away the hairpin and said, "Send it to Fourth Wife."

After the matter of the hairpin had passed, Fu Hongda looked at the time and then called for Old Master Fu to get up.

On the other side, Fu Hongtian took the banknotes and left the Fu Mansion. After passing through several gates and walls, he finally arrived at a yard next to the entrance of the marketplace.

As soon as he entered the yard, two burly men came out and held him down.

Fu Hongtian quickly raised the banknotes in his hand and shouted, "I brought the money, I brought the money! "Spare us!"

The big man took the banknotes and nodded. He then snorted and said, "Fifth Elder is right. I will accept the banknotes. Next time, you have to do it earlier."

Fu Hongtian gritted his teeth and asked, "You, didn't you say that you would give me the thing after giving it to me? Where are the items? "

"Something?" The big man took out a few love letters from his bosom and chuckled, "When Fifth Elder seduced sister-in-law, did you ever think that you would be discovered one day? "I've never thought that there would be a day I would have to pay up just to keep my mouth shut."

"Yesterday, I gave you two thousand silver. Today, I gave you seven hundred silver. What else do you want?"

"I don't want to do anything now. If the brothers need more money in the future, I will look for the Fifth Elder."

This was a long-term blackmail plan.

Fu Hongtian was instantly covered by the black cloud, and his entire body was trembling in anger.

Unfortunately, he couldn't defeat him using force and didn't dare to make this matter public. He asked Ye Zichen's friends to help him get the letter, and in the end, when he left, he could only spit in the door.

When Fu Hongtian had walked far away, the two men were sure that there was no ears to be seen through the wall. They then entered the room and greeted the man inside respectfully, "Young Master, he was tricked."

Rong Ling slowly put down the tea cup in her hand, stood up and said: "Tomorrow, will be the same."
