"Someone who wants you dead?"

Cheng Yuan's pupils suddenly dilated, and he quickly recalled the two assassination attempts Tang Huan had experienced earlier. Could this person be related to those incidents?

"Is it because of the previous assassination attempt?"

Tang Huan nodded and said, "Yes, the first batch of assassins all died, but some of the second batch were captured and some died. There should still be a few who are imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice prison. Qian Dafu is the only clue right now."

Just in case, Tang Huan recounted how Tang Liu and his group captured Qian Dafu, only to be tricked and allowed to escape.

The reason for saying this was not to increase the success rate, but because I was worried that Cheng Yuan would act rashly in his eagerness for success and suffer losses at the hands of the other party.

Those people dared to kill themselves, so they might very well target Cheng Yuan.

After giving him careful instructions, Cheng Yuan did not stay at Chunfeng Tower for long.

After the other party left, Tang Huan also got up and left, not forgetting to say goodbye to Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai who were waiting in the hall before leaving.

Less than ten minutes after Tang Huan left, Yan Zhi came downstairs in a flurry.

She walked all the way to the entrance of Chunfeng Tower, peeked out and looked around, her expression full of resentment.

A moment later she returned and asked Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, "Has Lord Tang already left?"

"Yes, they just left not long ago," Xiaoqing replied confidently.

Upon receiving this answer, Rouge clenched her fist in anger and gritted her teeth slightly.

She was very grateful to Tang Huan; without him, she wouldn't have her current status and position.

However, Tang Huan's aloof and unpredictable attitude also troubled Yan Zhi.

They didn't even say goodbye before leaving, or even send someone to let me know.

After leaving Chunfeng Tower, Tang Huan returned to his residence.

After taking a nap, Tang Huan practiced her martial arts briefly in the backyard and then resumed sunbathing every day.

It was just past three in the afternoon when Tang Liu arrived with several mercenaries, followed by a few timid middle-aged men who dared not move forward.

Tang Huan only slightly opened her eyes while reclining on the chair, glanced around, and then continued to squint.

"Sir, these are the people who met with Qian Dafu at the restaurant earlier," Tang Liu introduced to Tang Huan.

The people behind him became increasingly anxious.

Ever since they saw Qian Dafu jump out of the window like a madman, followed by others jumping after him, this scene had completely exceeded their expectations.

In particular, Tang Liu's announcement of the government's handling of the case terrified everyone.

Since ancient times, merchants have been extremely afraid of officials, and this has never changed.

What's even stranger is that Qian Dafu has disappeared.

Some people tried to find Qian Dafu using the same methods as before, but they couldn't find any trace of him or even any clues.

It was as if they had simply vanished into thin air.

Salt merchant Lao Liu was a relatively important person among them, after all, he cooperated with the government in the salt business and knew some officials.

After that, everyone encouraged him to go and find out more.

It was only after asking that they learned that Qian Dafu had not been arrested at all, and the people who surrounded and arrested him that night were not officials at all.

Before they could think further, Tang Liu arrived at their door in a menacing manner and brought everyone here.

“That person looks like the Poet Immortal…” someone recognized Tang Huan.

Compared to ordinary people, merchants, after bribing officials, are always able to find out more information.

Some of them had achieved a fairly good position in poetry gatherings and competitions, unlike the common people who only knew of a great poet but didn't know what he looked like.

"Old Liu said these people aren't officials, but they're the Poet Immortal's people! It made me really angry, and I was thinking of causing them trouble."

"I think Qian Dafu has probably offended the government again, and what happened back then may be about to happen again."

"Stop talking, the official is looking over here..."

They were greeted by Tang Liu's gloomy gaze. He glared at everyone fiercely, making them afraid to even breathe.

Then he said sternly, "Tell me everything Qian Dafu said to you that day, in detail."

Salt merchant Lao Liu glanced around before finally looking at the young man in the armchair.

Without any hesitation, he recounted the entire story of that night in detail, including their conversation and his own thoughts.

There was almost nothing to hide.

After hearing the others add their own explanations, Tang Huan finally opened her eyes.

The lazy vibe vanished completely.

"You just said that Qian Dafu encouraged some people to go to Qihuai County?"

Salt merchant Lao Liu nodded emphatically, "Several impatient people have already rushed to Qihuai County overnight. Their purpose is to find out about the brewing process of Fenjiu..."

"Then why don't you go?"

Tang Huan's question left the salt merchant Lao Liu feeling helpless.

I had actually decided to do it, but then Qian Dafu was arrested, so I naturally didn't dare to take such a big risk.

After all, Lao Liu has always acted cautiously; to put it bluntly, he is unwilling to take risks.

The explanations from the group were reasonable, and Tang Huan didn't press them for more details.

Under Tang Liu and several mercenaries' more detailed interrogation, the merchants did not reveal any more useful information, only things about their time with Qian Dafu.

"That's fine then. You can go back now. We'll ask you to cooperate again if needed later," Tang Huan waved his hand.

Salt merchant Lao Liu immediately replied, "Yes, Poet Immortal, we will do our best to help you."

After having the merchant seen off, Tang Huan stood up.

He raised his hand to interrupt Tang Liu, who was about to ask something, and said, "Starting tomorrow, the South District will launch a campaign to create a clean and hygienic environment."

"Sir, arresting the suspects is the priority now; there's no rush to create a hygienic city," Tang Liu said anxiously.

Tang Huan glared at him, which immediately made him lower his head in fright.

"What do you know? Qian Dafu can't catch me and he's still sitting here sunbathing. If we don't do a good job in creating a clean and hygienic city, you can expect to starve with me!"

"Creating a Sanitary and Civilized City" is the full name of this initiative.

This is something Tang Huan personally experienced in his later years, and it has already been implemented in Qihuai County.

He doesn't have any real power yet, so it's impossible for him to control the entire southern district.

Following his instructions, Tang Liu issued the order, but it only needed to be implemented in a very small area, about one-fifth of the entire southern district.

That is also the initial scope of the renovation plan.

Having enjoyed the benefits, one must naturally bear some responsibilities.

With Tang Huan's order issued, the campaign to create a clean and hygienic city was launched immediately and in full swing.

Over the next few days, a lot of news circulated in the southern district, arousing people's curiosity.

The news had even reached the palace.

"What is this sanitation campaign?" Wu Lanxi asked Grandpa Shen.

After thinking carefully, Xiao Shen explained, "It's called creating a hygienic and civilized city. Lord Tang is changing the sanitation problems in the southern district."
