His most important task in Shenjing is to protect Lin Daiyu's safety.

However, Tang Xiaolong naturally would not tell Jia Rong about this.

But it also reminded Tang Xiaolong again that he must find a way to remind Rong Mama and cut off all news about Lin Daiyu's stay in Yangzhou and Qingfeng Village as much as possible.

Otherwise, if it is exposed one day, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Seeing Tang Xiaolong frowning in deep thought, Jia Rong thought he had guessed the truth, but seeing his serious expression, he didn't dare to say anything more at this time.

It’s no wonder that Jia Rong has such concerns. It’s true that Tang Xiaolong and his gang have done a lot of things in recent days.

First, the youngest son of the Minister of War was put into a sack and lost just after leaving Cuihong Tower. It cost 30,000 taels of silver to find him.

Then came the son of Minister Du of Works, the grandson of the Minister of Personnel, and so on, who would go missing every now and then.

For a time, some people in the capital were in panic, but then the place became strangely calm.

However, a group of second-generation sons of noble families excitedly followed Wang Ziteng south to Nanjing to gain military merit, but they just missed the opportunity.

As for why he knew that all this was related to Tang Xiaolong and the others, it was because when Jia Rong returned home one day, he saw two masked men in black carrying a sack into the woodshed.

If Tang Xiaolong had not loved him at that time, he would have died with regret that day.

There were several incidents in succession where the children of officials in the imperial court were kidnapped, and even the government office in the capital was involved in a large-scale search throughout the city.

However, for some reason, it started off well but ended badly, with much ado about nothing. It disappeared within two days.

In addition, now in the capital, everyone's attention is focused on the war in the south.

No one mentioned these things in the court.

But Jia Rong was very puzzled by Tang Xiaolong's dangerous behavior of walking on the tightrope.

It was obvious that the money they earned from a few votes was more than they could spend in several lifetimes, but Tang Xiaolong still stayed in Shenjing as if nothing had happened.

After hesitating for a moment, Jia Rong slowly spoke.

"Brother Dao, why don't you just not..."

Tang Xiaolong interrupted Jia Rong angrily.

"Shut your mouth! My brother Dao is doing things, why do you need to interfere?"

Jia Rong trembled all over and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"Yes, yes, Rong'er knows she was wrong. Please punish me, Brother Dao."

Seeing Jia Rong like this, Tang Xiaolong nodded with a little relief.

Although Jia Rong has all kinds of small problems, fortunately he is obedient and can be controlled by him.

Coupled with his identity, it is undoubtedly an excellent cover for their group in Shenjing.

With a light sigh, Tang Xiaolong sat back down beside Jia Rong, put his hand on his shoulder and said earnestly,

"Don't worry, you are mine. No matter what I do, I will not involve you."

"Even if I ever leave Shenjing, I will take you with me."

Jia Rong trembled slightly when he heard this and looked at Tang Xiaolong with emotion.

"Brother Dao, you are so nice to me!"

Several team leaders from the Yunchi Hall in the room felt their bodies tense up and subconsciously wanted to escape from this place.

I really want to say something to Tang Xiaolong, although everyone knows that you, the hall master, have this hobby.

But could you please not do this in front of us?

Otherwise, the brothers would be worried while carrying out their mission.

As if he had noticed the expressions of his subordinates, Tang Xiaolong smiled and waved his hand.

"As I just said, send the money back as soon as possible. My family needs it right now."

"Our business in Shenjing needs to be suspended for a while. Keep quiet and wait for it to start again at any time."

"Yes, Brother Dao!"

Several team leaders from Yunchitang felt relieved upon hearing this. They quickly bowed, opened the door and ran out.

While waiting for the door to close, Tang Xiaolong looked at Jia Rong with a smile.
