Chapter 206 Don’t Say Thirty Thousand Taels of Silver



He Xiu Lian was so angry that she felt unhappy and her face was very gloomy.

"Alright, mother, now no one in the Prime Minister's Mansion can be your opponent, so you can rest assured!"

"You're the only one who keeps your mouth shut. Go get some rest. It's getting late!"

"Yes, mother! I'll take my leave!" Fu Mengyuan immediately felt very happy.

As long as the prime minister doesn't know that she has called on the secret guards, the mother will find a way to cover up the deaths of the three secret guards and will not blame her for transferring the secret guards without permission.

He Xiulian ordered from the side hall, "Tell them to find an excuse to go out and carry out their mission, and bring the three bodies with them!"

Madam Zheng beside her immediately said, "Madam, should we let them leave the city tonight? Otherwise, they'll be exposed tomorrow!"

"Okay, take my Prime Minister's token and escort them out of the city!"

Zheng Ai immediately bowed and took the token with both hands, and then quietly sent the injured secret guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion out of Kyoto.

Princess Roujia's Mansion

"Miss, the wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion sent several injured secret guards out of the city overnight!"

"Very good! Then go pick up the ready-made ones and kill them all when they stop to rest!"

"Yes, young lady!" Ling Hu immediately led several secret guards and quietly flew out of the city.

When Ling Hu took out Princess Roujia's private seal, the city gate opened a little and let a few people out.

In a small forest, "Boss, all of us secret guards are seriously injured, and Madam Prime Minister actually let us leave the city? Isn't this a complete lack of consideration for us?"

"Shut up! Is this the time to blame the Prime Minister's wife?"

"But Boss~!"

"Stop, someone is approaching!" Then a strange fragrance wafted over.

"Oh no, it's poisonous!" The next second, the secret guard and several surrounding secret guards fell to the ground.

"Ling Hu, it turns out that the girl's poison is the best. This is the first time she has killed someone so easily!"

Ling Hu and several secret guards rushed forward and stabbed several secret guards from the prime minister's mansion, killing them all.

"Let's go, don't leave any traces!" Ling Hu immediately erased all traces of his arrival.

Early in the morning, the Jingzhao government drew the portraits of the secret guards who had left the city last night and posted them on the bulletin board outside the city wall.

At this time, Ning Xiaotang and the Ning family members went to the pawnshop together.

When they arrived at the pawnshop, someone immediately came out to greet them: "Are you planning to buy land? Or a house or a shop?"

"I want to see the land and the shops!"

A little girl with a baby voice.

"Okay, what's your name, young lady?"

"No need to mention your surname Ning!"

The shopkeeper immediately calculated in his mind that in Kyoto, he had only heard that Princess Roujia, who had fought against Xue Changrao, had come to Kyoto, and only their family had the surname Ning.

He immediately put all the properties, lands and shops he had on the table.

"Please take a good look, Princess Roujia. These properties are all located in the suburbs of Kyoto, and are only a day's journey away."

"Well, it's not bad. I'll go take a look at this farm first."

The shopkeeper took one look and said, "My princess has a good eye. This Shangshui Manor is definitely the best manor. The owner of that manor is our old wealthy businessman. Good job, Mr. Cui!"

As they were talking, a group of people got on the carriage and followed the shopkeeper all the way to Shangshuizhuang.

It took us nearly a whole day to walk this distance, and we didn't see the village of Shangshui Village until evening.

"We're finally here. My bones are all broken." Hai Moying said coquettishly.

"Second Aunt, you didn't even complain about the pain all the way from Ningxiahe Village to Kyoto, but you're already so squeamish after just one day's journey?"

Hai Moying immediately replied, "Back then, we didn't have such a good life. These past few days in the Princess's Mansion, we can say that food is served and clothes are provided for us. Isn't this making us spoiled!"

"That's good to know. Although the Princess Mansion is nice, I prefer the simplicity of the countryside. I can grow my own crops and live my own life!" Ning Lezhu immediately expressed his willingness to live in Shangshui Manor.

Hai Moying immediately refused to agree upon hearing this: "No, I have to go back to the Princess's Mansion!"

"Second Aunt, I should live in the Princess's Mansion. The rest of you should live in Shangshui Manor. Anyone who loses the ability to move around will not have a good ending!"

Ning Xiaotang uttered these words when she got off the carriage.

At this moment, Luo Xiangqin immediately glared at Hai Moying: "You only know how to enjoy yourself all day long, and you don't care about Le Zhu at all."

"Mom, I just want to live in Tangtang's house. Is that wrong?"

"Second Aunt, the reason we let you all stay here a few days ago was because we just came to Kyoto from home and didn't have a place to stay yet. But now it's time to consider finding a quiet manor for you to live in comfortably, right?"

"Then I can't go to that princess's mansion anymore?"

"That's fine, but you can't stay here for long!" Ning Xiaotang replied immediately.

"Why can't you stay longer?" Hai Moying asked again and again.

"Because the Princess' Mansion belongs to Tangtang, and we are not officials, so why should we live in someone else's house?" Ning Lezhu immediately explained the reason.

"Second uncle, it's not that you can't stay here. You can go back to the small courtyard where you live now when you're free. It's not too far to go back and forth anyway."

"That's great. I want to go back and live there. I don't want to live in the countryside where I even have to cook my own meals." Hai Moying immediately expressed his opinion.

"Hai Moying, you really can't go back to the Princess's Mansion, because you and Chen Ya have to live in Shangshui Manor and have to cook for the men, right?" Luo Xiangqin immediately expressed her attitude.

The pawnshop owner immediately smiled and said, "Princess Roujia, although this Shangshui Manor is going to be sold, the wealthy old merchant Cui Kehao is very reluctant to part with it, so the price he's asking is a bit painful!"

"Tell me what the price is?" Ning Xiaotang asked.

"My Lady, the price of Shangshui Manor is thirty thousand taels of silver!" The shopkeeper immediately shrank his neck, ready to be scolded.

"Manager Cheng, go with my secret guards to handle the transfer procedures!"

Ning Xiaotang saw that the place was surrounded by mountains and rivers, with fields stretching out, and the roads were wide, so even if two carriages met, there would not be enough space.

For a manor like this, let alone 30,000 taels of silver, she must take it even if it is a little more. It is definitely a manor with beautiful mountains and rivers.

On that day, only the shopkeeper Cheng Min and Ling Hu went to the Jingzhao government office to handle the transfer procedures, and then Ling Hu returned to Shangshui Village.

At this time, Cheng Min immediately ran to Cui Kehao with the silver bills in his arms to report the situation.

Cui Kehao immediately smiled and said, "If I had known that the princess would be interested in Shangshui Manor, I should have asked for more banknotes."

Cheng Min immediately smiled and said, "Master Cui, you have saved your life, haven't you?"
