"Master Fu, these two are the two brothers I mentioned to you before.
They want to invest some money together. I wonder if Bolefang still needs anyone to cooperate with them?"
Prince An brought up the matter straight to the point.
Master Fu smiled and said, "Of course we need it. Here are two contracts. You two can take a look at them first. If you agree, please sign them.
The minimum amount of silver to be invested is one hundred taels of silver."
King Kang reached out and took a deed. "Master Fu, we two will sign a deed and pay a sum of silver."
As King Kang spoke, he glanced over the contents of the contract.
It was similar to what his seventh brother told him.
He signed the pseudonym without much hesitation.
Ye Peizhu took out some silver, and her deliberately lowered voice was tinged with shame, "Mr. Fu, I'm a little short of money, and I can only take out three hundred taels of silver. Please forgive me for laughing at you."
"It's okay, it's not easy to earn three hundred taels of silver, this is enough.
I don’t know when the next dividend will be distributed, but it will definitely satisfy the two young masters.
Bolefang is very lively tonight. If the three gentlemen have nothing else to do, they can look around inside.
If there is anything you want to play, just put it on my account."
Mr. Fu smiled slightly, giving people a good impression.
"Thank you very much, Master Fu."
Prince An readily agreed and left with Prince Kang and his wife.
After the three people left, Master Fu picked up the contract signed by King Kang and looked at King Kang's pseudonym with a smile.
"As expected of King Kang, his pseudonym is quite sophisticated.
The fish has been hooked, and it depends on what happens next.
Come, deliver this deed."
"yes."
A man in black appeared in the dark, took the deed and left.
Prince Kang and his wife didn't have much time to play in Bolefang.
The two of them knew very well that the entertainment in the gambling house was addictive.
They both can't get caught up in this.
As for Prince An, apart from not having much interest, he also knew that some people in Bolefang were specialized in cheating.
This is the only way to hook customers and make them deeply involved.
Now that everyone knows the trick, he is even less interested.
So the three of them just walked around, looked around for a while, and then left Bolefang.
As the three were leaving, King Kang seemed to hear a cry for help coming from nearby.
He held his wife in one hand and his brother in the other and ran towards the place where the sound came from.
But when the three of them ran to the entrance of the alley, they saw nothing.
"Brother? What happened? Why did you come here with us?"
Prince An retracted his hand and shook it, asking in confusion.
His third brother has quite a strong grip.
"Did you hear anyone shouting for help just now?"
King Kang frowned and asked in a low voice.
Prince An and Ye Peizhu looked at each other and shook their heads, saying in unison, "No."
King Kang scratched his head and said, "Maybe I heard it wrong. It's okay. Let's go."
After the three men left, two men appeared from the depths of the alley. They peeked out and spat on the ground.
He grabbed the girl with his backhand, whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief.
"Those guys have really sharp ears. Luckily they didn't rush in, otherwise we would have been discovered!"
One of the men whispered with lingering fear.
"What are you afraid of? If they dare to make trouble, we will reveal the person behind it!"
The other man was very arrogant and not afraid at all.
"But even if you tell it, people have to believe it. Let alone others, to be honest, even when I found out who was behind Bolefang, I was shocked.
I never thought that he was such a hypocritical person!
They are so good to us ordinary people, but they are doing some things behind our backs! Pah! "
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's send this little girl to the Land of Gentlemen first. This thing looks good. Let's see if we can buy something similar tomorrow."
"OK."
The two men whispered to each other and grabbed the girl and walked into the side door of Bolefang.
After Prince Kang and his wife and Prince An got into the carriage, Prince Kang still looked a little dazed.
"Your Highness, did you hear anything just now? Did you hear someone shouting for help?"
Ye Peizhu noticed that her husband's expression was not right and asked about the matter again.
"It sounded like he was shouting for help, but it was just a vague sound and then nothing more. I'm not sure if I heard it clearly.
If I heard anything that none of you heard, I'm afraid I misheard it."
King Kang rubbed his eyebrows and tried to relax himself.
"Third brother, you might have heard wrongly. Master Fu has sent some guards to guard the areas around Bolefang, fearing that someone might cause trouble.
If someone was really being bullied and crying for help, the guards would have already taken action."
Prince An's words dispelled Prince Kang's worries.
"Is that so? I must have misheard. I've been too tired these past two days and might be a little dazed."
King Kang sighed.
Prince An patted his third brother's arm and said, "Third brother, don't work too hard. Taking care of your health is the most important thing."
The three of them took a carriage to the back door of Prince Kang's mansion, and Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu entered through the back door.
The darkness of night seemed to conceal everything.
For the next period of time, everything was calm and King Kang's family lived the same life as before.
On this day, a servant came to report that something seemed to have happened in a farm outside the capital to Prince Kang, and that Prince Kang needed to go over and take a look.
King Kang almost didn't react when he heard this.
He only remembered that he had a farm in Jiangnan, where the dozens of people he had rescued from the fire some time ago now lived.
When he first heard the report from his servant, he almost thought that something had happened to the manor in Jiangnan.
"What happened in the manor? Why are you here to report it? Where are the servants in the manor?"
Ye Peizhu happened to hear the servant's report and walked over to ask.
"Reporting to the princess, the people in the manor seem to be busy with something. Someone sent a message and asked me to report this to the prince and princess."
"Madam, when did we get a farm outside the capital?"
King Kang still didn't remember this.
Ye Peizhu pursed her lips, her eyes twinkling, "Your Highness, this farm was given to me by Prince Ning before I married you. I refused it, but Prince Ning directly registered the land deed in my name and yours.
I said no, so I didn't care about what happened to the farm.
Later I learned that King Ning had hired some servants to live in the manor and take care of it.
We were just about to get married at that time, and I was worried that if I told you about this, Your Highness would be angry, so I didn't mention it.
I had planned to find a suitable opportunity to tell Your Highness after that.
I didn’t expect…”
More than ten years passed without finding a suitable opportunity.
King Kang: “…”
