Chapter 1307: The Mermaid in the Mansion
Su Sheng spoke a few words to his father outside the corridor and sent him away, then turned back to the courtyard.
Before entering the room, he deliberately concealed the scheming in his eyes, put on his usual sage-like appearance, and walked in front of the prince.
The prince was young and promising, not yet thirty years old. When he saw him come in, he nodded slightly.
"Mr. Su arranged for me to wait here. When will I get the miraculous medicine that he promised my father?"
Su Sheng said calmly, "Your Highness, your Highness is truly filial. I will find the miraculous medicine as soon as possible and send it to Your Majesty as soon as possible."
After patiently dealing with the prince, Su Sheng felt very annoyed.
According to his own plan, the Crown Prince would not be allowed to show up on this trip. He just wanted to use the royal fortune to act quietly, but the Crown Prince insisted on coming along, which greatly hindered his actions.
"Then I will wait patiently for good news from Mr. Su."
The prince didn't say much and asked Su Sheng to leave.
But in fact, he only believed three-tenths of what Su Sheng said. Only his foolish and cowardly father regarded Su Sheng as a lifeline. If he hadn't had someone stop him, he would probably have given Su Sheng the title of imperial master, which would have been a laughing stock.
Not long after, the prince's trusted secret guard avoided everyone and quietly entered the house.
"Your Highness, I have found out something. Please take a look." The secret guard knelt on one knee and presented a letter to the prince.
The letter detailed the business feud between the Su family and the Wen family over the years, as well as the fact that Wenren Ding had just obtained a mermaid a while ago.
"You want to use me as a sword." The prince read the letter at a glance. He was not angry and even smiled slightly.
All the undercurrents were suppressed under a blanket of calm.
Shi Li was lying by the water, half asleep and half awake. She was so sleepy that she ignored the strangeness around her until a huge sack was put over her head.
It seemed that there was a drug powder that could make people faint in the sack. Without even a chance to struggle, his eyes went dark and he passed out.
"Hurry up, hurry up, or we'll be discovered soon."
Qiu Liang, who was in charge of climbing over the wall and leading the way, lowered his voice and urged his men to carry the sacks. While the servants around him didn't notice, he climbed over the wall and escaped the same way he came.
Qiu Liang was not discovered until he left the Wenren family's house. He let out a long sigh and looked back as if he had survived a disaster, his heart still beating wildly.
I hope Brother Ding won't be too angry when he knows this. He did all this for Brother Ding's own good! Doctor Su is right. Keeping this mermaid around is a disaster!
He himself could not have come up with such a detailed plan to kidnap the mermaid, and it was thanks to Fang Jianzhang who helped him plan.
Qiu Liang didn't know why Fang Jianzhang disagreed at first, but later took the initiative to ask him to participate in the plan. Today, it was thanks to him that he led Wenren Ding away, otherwise he would definitely not be able to steal the merman.
He didn't care about all this. According to the plan he had made with Fang Jianzhang, he directed his men to carry the sacks containing the mermaids to a secluded place. Sure enough, he saw an inconspicuous carriage parked there.
The carriage was covered with a veil, so the front of the carriage could not be seen clearly.
Qiu Liang had worried before about where to take the mermaid after taking her away, and it was Fang Jianzhang who took the initiative to suggest that he could arrange people to send the mermaid far away and make sure Wen Ren Ding would never find her.
So Qiu Liang naturally thought that the carriage and the driver were Fang Jianzhang's men. He had the sacks put on the carriage without any doubt and said "thank you for your hard work" to the driver.
The coachman didn't say anything, just nodded, then drove away in the carriage.
Qiu Liang stood there until the carriage disappeared from his sight, then he let out a long sigh.
"Brother Ding will understand my good intentions sooner or later. I am doing this for his own good."
On the other side, Wen Rending looked at the ruffian-like farmers and felt more and more that something was wrong.
Ordinary farmers would never have such an attitude. Even if they were fighting for their own interests, they would not be so fearless.
Suppressing the inexplicable anxiety in his heart, Wen Rending looked at Fang Jianzhang who was standing next to him without saying a word, and asked abruptly: "Are you hiding something from me?"
