In the garden of Zuixian Residence.

Fan Chengxu was lying on a reclining chair, his posture seemingly relaxed, but his expression was not as casual as usual.

He was also aware of the disappearance of the seventh prince, having been informed by his uncle.

Whether it was the government city’s office or the Anti-Japanese Army, they were all sending men to search for the prince in the past few days.

However, seven to eight days had passed, and there was still no news.

The longer the time, the lower the chance of finding the seventh prince alive.

While basking in the sun, Fan Chengxu said, “If there’s no news from the seventh prince, people within Taizhou prefecture will start to suffer.”

“Sir, don’t worry. The seventh prince is favoured by fortunes, he will turn ill luck into good,” the shopkeeper named Shen comforted him.

Fan Chengxu said, “He can’t die in the city. If he’s really dead within Taizhou, and not in the battlefield against the Japanese pirates, a lot of people will be implicated. Under the power of the emperor, piles of bones.”

“Sir, you are kind-hearted. You think for others and for the people,” said Shopkeeper Shen.

“You’re wrong, I’m not kind-hearted. If there’s chaos in Taizhou, I can’t do my business. As a merchant, I naturally hope for profitable ventures everywhere,” Fan Chengxu said.

At this moment, a servant came to deliver a message, saying that Xu Heyou had sent a letter, which was sent by an old acquaintance of Boss Fan.

“Bring it here.”

Fan Chengxu extended his hand, and the servant cautiously handed the letter to him.

After seeing the characters on the envelope, Fan Chengxu’s eyebrows furrowed.

Then he opened the letter, and instantaneously sat up straight.

“What’s wrong, sir? Is there anything wrong with the content of the letter?” Seeing their master behaving so surprisingly, Shopkeeper Shen couldn’t help but feel worried.

Fan Chengxu did not reply. He stared at the letter in his hand for a while, then lay back down.

“Old Shen, go to the storehouse and take out eight hundred taels of silver notes. Accompany the messenger and ask Xu Heyou what medicinal herbs he wants. Report back to me once you’re done,” Fan Chengxu instructed.

Hearing that, Shopkeeper Shen couldn’t believe it, eight hundred taels of silver? That was too much!

Their business with Xu Heyou only involved a few taels of silver a month, or a few dozens a year. The eight hundred taels, would take Xu Heyou one or two decades of business to earn!

Even for their Zuixian Residence, they couldn’t make eight hundred taels of silver in a year!

“Is eight hundred taels too much, sir?” After much hesitation, Shopkeeper Shen voiced his question.

“You just do as I say, send the amount I told you,” Fan Chengxu stated firmly.

“Okay, I’ll go do it immediately!” Seeing the serious look on his master’s face, Shopkeeper Shen didn’t dare to question him anymore.

He quickly did as his master ordered, took out the silver notes, and left along with the messenger sent by Xu Heyou for the suburban villa.
