I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

In the secret room, Jiang Yuan carefully flipped through the list, and names appeared in his mind one by one.

"Yang Baishuang, eldest son of the Yang family, 28 years old... 50,000 taels of silver."

"Yang Qingfeng, the second son of the Yang family, 26 years old... 30,000 taels of silver."

"Yang Yi, Yang Cheng's youngest daughter, twenty-two years old... ten thousand taels of silver."

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yuan finally circled Yang Baishuang's name.

The remaining 50,000 taels of silver were not spent on several important figures of Yang Qingfeng.

Killing one person from the Yang family would have completely different effects than killing ten people from the Yang family.

Killing an important person will only make the entire Yang family alert, but killing a few more ordinary people in the Yang family will make everyone feel insecure and maximize the fear.

"That's all. In addition, if you can kill one more member of the Yang family during your mission, whether it's a servant or a guard, I will compensate each person with one thousand taels of silver."

"I'll have someone send the money over later. The mission I issued is valid for a long time."

Kongwang was surprised for a moment, then nodded heavily. This was almost a gift for free.

When hunting the target person, there will inevitably be guards blocking the way. Killing the guards is just a matter of convenience, and the one thousand taels of silver can be easily obtained.

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything else and turned to walk out of the secret room.

The man in the secret room smiled silently: "Great, this way, we can not only kill these bastards, but also make a lot of money."

"I just don't know what happened to them..."

After going around in circles and returning to the East Factory, Jiang Yuan first went to check on Wang Gang's injuries. He was still unconscious, but his breathing was much steadier and he seemed to be recovering.

"Zhao Kai, aren't you going to find your wife? Go now. We probably won't be here for much longer." Jiang Yuan said softly.

If they offended Yang Cheng, once those killers succeeded in the assassination, even a fool would turn his attention to them.

"Ah? You're leaving so soon? Isn't Wang Gang still not recovered? And don't you still have to go to the Bai family?" Zhao Kai looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion.

Why did I come to the imperial capital? My original main purpose was to visit the Bai family. Now that I am not even going there, it would be a waste of time.

"Let's talk about it later. I'll give you two days. Go and come back quickly." Jiang Yuan instructed again.

Zhao Kai looked hesitantly at Wang Gang lying on the hospital bed. Jiang Yuan suddenly slapped him in the face and said, "Go quickly. I'm here. You'll be fine."

Zhao Kai then turned around and left, looking back every few steps. Jiang Yuan slowly sat on the door frame, frowning as he thought about something.

Two days passed quietly.

Early in the morning of the third day, Jiang Yuan got up early and bought a large amount of goods in the city. After eating, he went directly to the dock to rent a large boat and also found a few boatmen.

After doing all this, Jiang Yuan returned to Dongchang again. Wang Gang still showed no signs of waking up in the past few days, but the imperial physician admitted that at this point, he could only rely on himself, and the effect of external objects was minimal.

But staying in the imperial capital is really not a good idea.

The first point is that we are unfamiliar with the place, and the second point is that we are surrounded by powerful enemies. It is wise to return to Taiping County.

"What? Leaving so soon?" Chen Liu opened his mouth wide when he heard the news.

"What? Brother Yong can't bear to leave us?" Jiang Yuan said with a faint smile.

Chen Liu's expression was very complicated. Damn it, I've been here for so many days, and you've just treated me like a tool. I haven't even had the chance to make things difficult for you, and you're leaving just like that.

Then wouldn't I have been ordering you around for a few days in vain?

"Forget it, let's go. It's better to leave. Don't come to the imperial capital again. The imperial capital is not like Taiping County. It's not so easy to get by. Wait until the court promotes you before coming back." Chen Liu said softly.

"Yeah." Jiang Yuan nodded. Now they just had to wait for Zhao Kai to come back before they could set off.

After a while, seeing that Jiang Yuan remained silent, Chen Liu looked at him with suspicion: "Are you really going back like this?"

"What else?" Jiang Yuan asked back.

"Can we let go of Wang Gang's matter?" Chen Liu didn't believe it again.

"You really don't want revenge?"

"Alas..." Jiang Yuan sighed deeply, his face full of dejection. After a long while, he finally spoke:

"What can I do? After all, we are just small fry. If we run into a tough guy like the Yang family, can we just rush forward and die?"

"I've made up my mind to return to Taiping County and spend the rest of my life there. I'll never come to the imperial capital again."

Chen Liu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

It was noon when Zhao Kai walked into the courtyard with a woman in a swagger.

"Sir, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Gao Yan."

"Greetings to the Lord." Gao Yan turned sideways and bowed deeply.

"No need to be so polite. We are all family. Let's save ourselves the red tape in the future." Jiang Yuan said cheerfully.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Kai came over and put on a flattering face: "Sir, Xiaoyan has decided to go with me this time. Can we take her with us?"

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and nodded. It was not a big problem to bring Gao Yan with him, but it was just a matter of having more people.

"Thank you, sir!" Zhao Kai shouted excitedly.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "Alright, stop talking about this, let's go after lunch."

At the dinner table, the meal was unusually dull, even Chen Liu, who usually acted as the atmosphere creator, was speechless.

After the meal, Chen Liu called two people to carry a stretcher and move Wang Gang onto the stretcher, and then followed Jiang Yuan and others out of the East Factory.

"You really won't stay for two more days?" Chen Liu said softly.

Jiang Yuan smiled faintly and shook his head: "No, there's no point in staying any longer. I'm leaving now. We'll meet again in the future."

"By the way, I also want to thank you for taking care of me during this period." As he said this, Jiang Yuan secretly handed Chen Liu a silver note.

Chen Liu smacked his lips and nodded, "Well, I won't keep you any longer. Come find me if you need anything."

After saying this, Chen Liu slapped his head and quickly had someone bring over Mu Cangtian, who was still tied up. "Take this unfortunate child with you. It's inconvenient to keep him here."

"It would be convenient for me to carry it with me?" Jiang Yuan curled his lips.

"Oh, well, let's just chop it off tomorrow. It's not a good thing anyway." Chen Liu thought without further ado.

Jiang Yuan sighed helplessly: "Forget it, just follow me."

The two sides formally said goodbye, and Jiang Yuan slowly came to the dock with a group of people. Several boatmen immediately raised the anchor and set off.

After the boat sailed on the Qianlong River for a day, in the evening, Jiang Yuan walked out of the cabin with a tired face.

Zhao Kai, who was sitting outside enjoying the breeze, looked at Jiang Yuan with a strange expression. Since getting on the boat, Jiang Yuan had been staying in the cabin and had not come out at all, and he did not allow anyone else to enter.

"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yuan looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds and he estimated that it would rain heavily within an hour. An inexplicable smile appeared on Jiang Yuan's pale face.

"Even the heavens are helping me, it would be unreasonable if I didn't take action..."

Zhao Kai was startled and quickly jumped down from the railing: "Sir, what are you doing?"

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and raised one hand to shake it: "What do you think I've been busy with these past two days?"

"There are over a hundred of them in the cabin, including a few large ones."

"Fuck! Is it such a big deal?" Zhao Kai widened his eyes.
