That night, Kang Qiao and the others couldn't wait any longer and prepared to break into the prison to rescue Mo Bufan. Yun Xiang stopped Kang Qiao and asked him to be patient. There are rules in Yun Tai now, and they absolutely cannot offend the government. Recklessly breaking into the prison would mean making enemies with the government officials, and more seriously, all the assets of Guanghui Village that Mo Bufan worked hard to manage would be seized by the court. Yun Xiang explained all the pros and cons to Kang Qiao, who prioritized Mo Bufan's safety. After considering everything, Kang Qiao finally decided to wait one more day. Yun Xiang was finally relieved.
Su Mingyu rushed to meet with the official at the yamen overnight to discuss the handover of the position of the leader of the Chamber of Commerce. During the meeting, the clerk at the side specially reminded him not to mention Mo Bufan's matter. Su Mingyu carefully inspected the hall of the prefectural governor's mansion and found a painting hanging in the middle of the bookcase. He pretended to have a friend who admired the painting and was willing to buy it for ten thousand yuan, although its actual market value was much lower. The prefectural governor understood his intentions. Su Mingyu then stated that he would continue to take up the position of the leader of the Southern Trade Association. To show his gratitude and willingness to share the prefectural governor's burdens, he promised to make up for the lost treasury silver and give the prefectural governor an explanation. The prefectural governor was pleased with the outcome, and Mo Bufan was soon released and allowed to return home.
Su Mingyu personally saw Mo Bufan being brought back before he could be relieved. When Mo Bufan heard that it cost him 35,000 taels of silver, he forgot about the injuries on his body that were hurting his heart. He immediately ordered Kang Qiao to call Yun Xiang over. When he saw Yun Xiang, Mo Bufan poured out his grievances, saying that he not only suffered physically but also lost more than 100,000 taels of silver. If Yun Xiang didn't give him an explanation, he would go to report to the sect leader. Yun Xiang immediately asked Kang Qiao to prepare ink and paper and told the sect leader the truth he had recently discovered. It seemed that 15 years ago, Ling Yuan had already colluded with the court and done many secret things. Mo Bufan listened attentively and immediately asked Yun Xiang not to tell the sect leader temporarily. Since someone wanted to harm him, he would not sit idly by. Mo Bufan began to fight back.
Kou Yuanjie is Ling Yuan's person. He used a plan to frame Mo Bufan. Ye Duozhu didn't know what impact this would have, so he quickly wrote a letter to Mr. Nangong. Ye Duozhu is Mr. Nangong's subordinate, and Mr. Nangong replied "It doesn't matter" to him. Ye Duozhu knew what to do and bid farewell to Kou Yuanjie. However, Kou Yuanjie killed the messenger Gong Yin in a brutal way. Ye Duozhu didn't know what was going on. Kou Yuanjie rode away on a fast horse, claiming to bring a congratulatory gift to Mr. Nangong.
At the canal dock, a thick fog was spreading. The two officials in charge of the treasury were still complaining about not seeing the messenger who was supposed to bring the tribute silver. They didn't know when the ship carrying the silver would arrive. As soon as they finished talking, a big ship came and headed straight towards the canal dock. The two officials were knocked into the river and struggled to climb ashore. They found out that the ship that had just arrived was the one carrying the treasury silver, but there was no one on board. It was clear that they had encountered pirates!
Su Mingyu, along with Ke Menglan, rescued many abandoned orphans who were sold off. Jin Biao and Tian Hu personally went to pick them up, and Su Mingyu found a large courtyard for them to pretend to be a charitable organization. After seeing these children return safely, Jin Biao was very grateful to Su Mingyu and said that if the Su family encountered any difficulties in the future, they must come to him for help.
The next day, the yamen officials in the southern city posted notices announcing the closure of businesses due to the tense situation. Princess Mingzhu and Mr. Liu were having tea in a teahouse when they heard rumors spreading in the streets about sea monsters eating official silver. They couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of the rumors. Officials from the government came with great momentum to catch those who spread the rumors, but Mr. Liu and Princess Mingzhu immediately stopped them and ordered the officials to catch the thieves instead. The yamen officials were frightened when they realized they were in front of Princess Mingzhu and begged for forgiveness on their knees.
Kang Qiao quickly passed on the message to Yun Xiang that over a hundred thousand taels of silver had disappeared overnight, and the situation was not good. Mo Bufan warned Yun Xiang to be prepared.
