If you want to take advantage of the situation and save costs from him, it depends on whether you are lucky enough!

On summer nights, the stars are shining brightly.

At the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Lu San hurriedly walked towards Bai Youyou's yard.

"What happened?"

Bai Youyou finished drawing the jewelry pattern and was about to take a break when Lu San entered the house under the guidance of Xiaoju.

Coming to see her in the middle of the night must be bad news, she asked directly before Lu San could speak.

"The Yunlai village is on fire!"

"Nothing serious happened, right?"

Bai Youyou's expression tensed.

There are only soapberries in there.

In addition to the money she earned from selling glass, half of the money she used to buy soapberries was raised for her by Qiu Wanchun and other merchants. If it were destroyed, the loss would be too great.

"Several of our brothers were seriously injured," Lu San clenched his fists, his muscles tense, "Fortunately we took strict precautions, otherwise they would have succeeded!"

He has been guarding these soapberries at the farm these days. Knowing that they are worth millions of taels of silver, he even wants to keep one eye open while standing guard when he sleeps.

He really got what he was waiting for, those bastards!

"Go to the accountant to pay for the medical treatment. Give each injured person ten taels of silver and tell them to take good care of their injuries."

Bai Youyou already knew that the prince would definitely try to cut off the source of the trouble once he realized what was happening, but luckily she had taken precautions.

"Also, send people to dig a few more cellars and quietly put all the things on the farm into the cellars."

She gritted her teeth and said with a stern face: "Since they dare to use this method, you also go to Zhen Ni Fang's manor, and we will give them a taste of their own medicine!"

She couldn't come up with much money for the time being, and had originally been thinking of stopping for a while, waiting for Liuli's money to come in before continuing with her speculation.

Since the prince used this vicious method first, she doesn't mind following suit!

Xiaoju clenched his fists, indignant, "If they dare to burn our farm, we will burn theirs too!"

Bai Youyou still warned: "Only burn the warehouse, don't hurt innocent people."

"My subordinates know."

Lu San took the order and left. At the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, when the Yong'an Marquis heard that he had failed, he was so angry that he scolded them for being a bunch of trash.

"If you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of me keeping you!"

Each of the eight people kneeling on the ground had external injuries of varying sizes. Some even had torn clothes on their shoulders, revealing wounds with white flesh underneath.

Several people knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and dared not answer.

"Master, the manor has been heavily guarded by the people from the Zhenguo Mansion. It was because of our negligence that they noticed it."

Of course, Marquis Yong'an knew that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would send people to guard him strictly, but since the plan failed, he had no place to vent his anger.

"If you can't succeed today, go again tomorrow when they are off guard and catch them by surprise!"

He just didn't believe it. If he couldn't succeed once, would he fail eight or ten times? !

"Master, I have found out another thing."

"Say!"

The leading secret guard said, "When I searched the Zhenguo Mansion, I found that they transported seven or eight wooden boxes to the Liuli Pavilion in the middle of the night."

"Can you find out what it is?"

The leader of the secret guards shook his head. "They are very cautious. I dare not alert them."

"What are they transporting to Liuli Pavilion? Could it be Liuli?"

This idea was quickly rejected by Yong'an Hou himself. He sneered, "If it's really Liuli, I'll eat shit while standing upside down!"

He had someone check the Liulifang and found out that it belonged to Qiu Wanchun. Besides, Liuli is so rare that it would be a great thing to have just one piece. There were seven or eight boxes of it, and he thought they were just stones from the ground.

But going there in the middle of the night and being so cautious really aroused suspicion.

"Send someone to the Liuli Pavilion to keep an eye on them and see what they are doing secretly."

Everyone left, enduring the pain of their wounds, but the next day, Marquis Yong'an did not receive the good news that Bai Youyou's manor was on fire, but instead received the bad news that his own Zhen Nifang was on fire.

"My Lord, My Lord, something bad has happened. There's a fire in Zhen Ni Fang!"

At this moment, Marquis Yong'an was hugging a pretty maid, his bearded mouth pouted high, almost touching the maid's lips.

Hearing the scream, he stood up suddenly, and the maid who was sitting on his lap screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground.

Yong'an Hou kicked him away and looked at the steward with a gloomy face, "What did you just say?"

"My Lord, there's a fire in the manor! Everything in our warehouse has been burned!"

The weather in June was hot and dry. The manager was sweating all over and felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.

Facing the murderous look of Yong'an Marquis, he trembled, "My Lord, the fire was caused by human beings. You must send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"A bunch of trash!!!"

Yong'an Hou was so angry that he yelled, "What use do I have for you trash!!"

There was no need to guess who had set the fire. At this moment, he could only kick the manager on the ground in frustration and rage.

The prince brought Zhu San over and saw the body lying on the ground. His brows furrowed, "What happened?"

"These rubbish can't even guard a warehouse!!"

Yong'an Marquis was fat and exhausted. He raised his chin to the butler beside him and said, "Drag him out and deal with him!"

He took a slow breath and asked the servants in the room to leave.

The prince frowned and asked, "What happened at Zhen Ni Fang?"

"The storehouse was burned down by the people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion!"

The prince's face suddenly turned stern when he heard this, "How do you know it was someone from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion who did it?"

"Last night I sent people to burn down the farm where they stored their goods, but failed." Yong'an Hou gritted his teeth, "Today our Zhennifang was burned down. Who else could it be if not them?!"

"Why would you provoke them again?"

The prince had a cold expression and an unhappy tone. Seeing him like this, Marquis Yong'an couldn't help but get angry.

"If I don't find a solution, they will take away all our remaining belongings!"

Yong'an Hou sat down on the chair, cursing, "The people of the Zhenguo Mansion have always claimed to be upright, but they actually came up with such a shameless method! Buying our goods at a low price and then selling them in their own shop, is this something a good person would do?!"

"More than one million taels!!" He slapped his thigh in anger. "If you throw more than one million taels into the water, you can still hear quite a lot of noise. They just got it for free!"

"If I had known this, I would have sent them for free and saved myself all the trouble!"

The prince listened to his abuse and pursed his thin lips into a straight line.

"It's all the fault of that idiot Bai Yaoyao. If she hadn't come up with such a lousy trick that hurts others and doesn't benefit ourselves, how could we have lost so much money!"

"More than one million taels, enough food and fodder for an army of 300,000 for three years!"

The Marquis of Yong'an was still cursing, and the prince shouted coldly, "Enough!"

Yong'an Hou's voice suddenly stopped. He sighed heavily and complained, "This woman is useless!"

"Let's not talk about other things for now," the prince looked at him solemnly, "I came here today to ask you something."
