Chapter 90 Pei Zisu Returns to Hanzhong After Success
Pei's face looked serious, and there was some regret in her expression.

"Twelve people died and more than thirty were injured. The people from the Zhuang family, the Hong family, and the Cai family were in the private room on the second floor, closest to the staircase, so no one survived."

Although these families were not considered powerful figures in Xijing City, there were still some interactions between them and the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion. When they first entered the Lanyue Tower, they nodded to each other in greeting, but they did not expect that they would be separated forever.

It's really sad.

"In addition, the second daughter of Zhao Fengchang's family also died."

Jiang Shiyuan was still a little surprised when she heard this. Although she had never dealt with the two girls from the Zhao family, she heard that they were both going to marry into Prince Chun's Mansion. They were at the prime of their lives, but they died for no reason. It was really a pity.

"No movement from Prince Chun's Mansion?"

"I heard that the princess was frightened and fell ill, but the prince Song was fine. When the marquis came back to tell me the news, he had already seen the prince Song outside arranging this matter. I heard that he even hacked two gangsters to death. So your majesty was so kind and ordered him to take full charge of this matter. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise!"

Pei had always looked down on Prince Song, but this time she didn't mock him.

After all, being able to stand up and fight against the criminals already requires tremendous ability. Even if he caught the emperor's eye and got a job, she didn't think that Prince Song was getting an easy win.

When Jiang Shiyuan heard this, he rarely interrupted and said something.

"It seems that there may be a delay in the eldest daughter of the Zhao family entering Prince Chun's mansion."

The fact that the Prince of Prince Chun's mansion was going to take a concubine was known to everyone in Xijing City, especially since the Princess of Prince Chun went to propose marriage in person, which gave the Zhao family a lot of face. So everyone knew that the current Princess was useless.

Therefore, those families who were already on good terms with the Zhao family also expressed their opinions, and there were even more than one or two people who privately said that the position of the Crown Prince's Consort would be changed, which shows the ambition of the Zhao family.

But now, the second girl is dead and Mrs. Zhao is injured.

Based on her understanding of Princess Chun, she is afraid that this matter will be like a thorn that stays in her heart for a long time. So every time she sees the only remaining girl in the Zhao family, she may not feel pity. She will probably wonder if they have ruined the feng shui of Prince Chun's Mansion.

"A Nian's guess is correct. I heard that the Zhao family is now preparing for the funeral of the second young lady behind closed doors, but Prince Chun's Mansion hasn't even sent a pair of mourning couplets yet. This is not the way a family that is getting married should behave."

If the incident happened suddenly, it might be understandable that Prince Chun's Mansion did not have time to prepare.

But a whole night had passed since the incident, and even if the servants of Prince Chun's Mansion were slow, they should have made some movement. Therefore, everyone was watching. This grand event in Lanyue Tower turned into a catastrophe, which ultimately affected the original trajectories of many people.

In Ning'an Garden.

Pei Zimiao, who had been killing all night, now had such a strong smell of blood on his body that he couldn't even smell it.

Soaking in the pool, washing with scoops of hot water, there were only two bruises on his strong chest, which looked blue and purple, but no blood was seen.

Two of his men were injured, but the rest were unharmed.

His almond eyes, which should have been charming, now showed disdain. He thought that the forces left by Prince Yi here must be very powerful, but they were dealt with so easily by them. They were really useless.

Although the matter was dealt with, he couldn't stop.

The master behind the Moon-Raising Tower was never a Yizhou native, but the largest intelligence agency of the Prince of Han in Xijing City. Now that it was messed up by the Prince of Yi, it was obvious that it was useless. The emperor was furious, so it was inevitable to seal off the Moon-Raising Tower. What he had to do was to move all the people related to the Prince of Han. Therefore, after washing himself, he stood up and changed into a set of tight waist clothes, which made him look very powerful.

After he went out, he went to the study, wrote a long letter himself, explained the matter clearly, and handed it to the entourage around him.

"Quick, send the message to Hanzhou."

"Yes!"

The city of Xijing was in turmoil. At this moment, beside the Huai River in Hanzhou, a large number of workers were still diligently building the embankment. Among them, standing on the edge and shouting slogans under the scorching sun was Wang Kuan, the second young master of Wenyuan Marquis Mansion, who believed in "when in Rome, do as the Romans do."

Since he came to Huaijiang, he stopped cursing and changed into coarse linen clothes, wore a straw hat on his head, and hung a water bottle around his waist. He went out early and came back late!
"I originally thought that my second brother would not be able to endure this hardship, but who knew that he would adapt so quickly."

"My second cousin is very capable, and it would be a waste of his talent if he stayed in Xijing City."

When Pei Zisu said this, there was a smile in his eyes. He usually had the most contact with his third cousin Wang Hong. As for the other cousins, he knew them but was not that familiar with them. However, this time, seeing how hard his second cousin worked to repair the canals and dams, he was indeed impressed.

As the two were talking, they saw the prefect of Hanzhou jogging over with a flattering look on his face. The man looked to be about fifty years old and a little fat. He was tanned and tough because he had been supervising the canal construction under the scorching sun these days.

When he spoke, his mouth full of white teeth popped out.

"I didn't know General Pei was here. I'm sorry for the delay. Someone, please bring some water and a stool to the general."

"No need, Chen Zhixin, how is the iron ingot?"

"Sixty percent of the reinforcement has been completed. The area at the bottom of Xujia Village is almost finished. Now the area around Zhuangjia Village and Liangjia Village is still under construction."

After hearing Chen Fucheng's answer, Pei Zisu did some calculations in his mind.

Since they delivered the iron ingot to the Huaijiang River, the workers have been working there, with three shifts every day. It is indeed hard work, but the results are remarkable, so Pei Zisu nodded and then spoke.

"Well, the progress is good. If we can avoid the flood in the Huai River this year, you will be the one who deserves the credit!"

"I dare not. The iron ingot was personally escorted by General Pei. You have been very careful in supervising here. If we are to talk about the first merit, it should go to the general. I am just an assistant. It is nothing."

Chen Fucheng has been in this position in Hanzhou for most of his life and has never been so dedicated. He always felt that he could just get by as long as he could. But these days, General Pei was guarding the Huai River, so even if he wanted to be lazy, he didn't dare to do so. Naturally, things were done quickly and well.

Pei Zisu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He did not take his flattering look to heart and turned to give an order to Wang Hong.

"It's time to go back to Hanzhong City."

"it is good."

Hanzhong City is the capital of Hanzhou.

Prince Han, the Pei family, and other noble families in Hanzhou are all here. This time they went down the Huai River and stayed on the front line for several days. However, Pei Ziyao returned to Hanzhong first.

Seeing that things were progressing quickly, Pei Zisu stopped watching. He still had things to deal with. So before Chen Fucheng asked them to stay for dinner, they had already boarded the ship and set sail, heading for Hanzhong...
