The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 369 Part 3

When Old Madam Wu got home, she felt a pang of regret—if only she hadn't said those things. Now she'd cost her two sons their jobs. This factory was going to be huge—after all these days of work, they had only just finished digging the foundation. There would probably be plenty more work ahead for a good long while, and the pay was nine copper coins per day!

Just thinking about it made Old Madam Wu's heart ache. She'd barely sat down and warmed her stool when her two sons came storming back in.

"Mother."

Old Madam Wu mumbled a reply.

Shen Nian stood there, mulling over the Emperor's words with great seriousness, then nodded solemnly and said, "This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for your understanding. I do not have three heads and six arms—I truly lack the capacity to take on more."

Qi Junmu looked at him with an expression hard to read, then said, "If your face were ranked for thickness, no one would dare claim first place—you would be second to none."

Shen Nian humbly replied, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare—Your Majesty flatters me too much."

"Have any of you brothers and sisters ever been to the capital?" Guaizai asked dreamily, sitting in the middle of the group.

"No."

"The capital is wonderful—it's so beautiful and bustling. The clothes people wear there are gorgeous too. When we get back to Hezhou, I'll have my godfather and Brother Yu make ice cream for you to try—it's sweet and so delicious!"

These people had never once set foot outside this barren land of Hezhou in their entire lives. What kind of place was the capital, really?

Earlier, he had been afraid of getting beaten if he went out, but now there was no need to worry about that. The matter was nearly settled. Fang Zichen planned to return to Anping County in a few days. Having been here for so long, Guaizai had stayed by his side the whole time, watching him handle official business. It seemed the boy had learned quite a bit. Fang Zichen was deeply pleased and, for once, generously gave him ten copper coins, telling Zhang Quan to take him out for some fun.

Guaizai was so overjoyed he felt his soul might fly off. Like a wild horse breaking free, he was ecstatic once they reached the street. Spotting a vendor selling candied hawthorn sticks, he dashed over and said he wanted to buy one. The old man chuckled and gave him two sticks instead.

It was not until the third day after the assassin had been sent away that Qi Junzhuo, far away in Qingzhou, learned of the news. He had originally wanted to meet the female assassin.

Yang Jinglei had already interrogated the captive assassin—her name was A Duo, while the other, who had vanished without a trace, was called A Nian. He had not been able to find out why they wanted to assassinate Qi Junzhuo.

But from the female assassin's attitude, it was clear they bore hatred toward the Emperor.

Yang Chengfeng stood by, watching Fang Zichen chat casually with them in just a few sentences. The merchants had been so scared at first that they could barely move their hands and feet, terrified of saying the wrong thing and offending him. But after only a couple of exchanges, seeing how easygoing Fang Zichen was, they completely relaxed.

Fang Zichen asked what business they were in and where they usually sold their goods. He talked about trade—their own area of expertise—and the merchants began to chatter nonstop.

"My family deals in cloth. Hemp fabric stays local; brocade and silk mostly go to Qinzhou."

Qi Junmu had set Qingzhou's affairs aside for the time being—he decided to wait until the captured assassin was brought back to the capital, or at least until Qi Junzhuo returned, before dealing with it further.

Meanwhile, the investigation into the spring-palace (erotic) paintings that had appeared in the rear palace had reached a conclusion, and the Empress Dowager summoned him to Renshou Palace.

When Qi Junmu arrived, the Empress Dowager's expression was grim. Wen Wan stood beside her, head bowed and eyes lowered, her demeanor mild and composed. Qi Junmu paid his respects, then asked what had happened.
