The Fulang's Modern Young Husband Chapter 365 Part 3

The big rocky mountain hadn't been blasted open yet. Fang Zichen was eager to go back and improve the gunpowder, so Zhao Ger stayed behind.

The blasted rocks on the mountain needed to be cleared away. Before Zhao Ger could even give orders, Tieda and a crowd of villagers charged up the mountain in a frenzy.

When they got there, everyone stood dumbfounded, rooted to the spot.

At the foot of the big rocky mountain, there had been a smaller hill.

After reconfirming the spot for the blasting and doing another survey, Fang Zichen headed back.

The villagers of Xiaping Village were baffled. The prefect had simply left like that, as if the whole thing were just a game. They had expected at least a chance to curry favor with him, but he gave them none.

But the next day, everyone noticed that all the sword-bearing imperial guards had been reassigned.

Yang Jinglei knew very well how much the Emperor valued Qi Junzhuo. So after that line, he added that Prince Jin was safe, the assassin had gotten away, and he would look into the matter as quickly as possible.

They were in Qingzhou, and Qi Junzhuo was operating under Qi Junyou's name.

For the moment, it was unclear whether the assassin had been targeting Qi Junzhuo or Qi Junyou. Yang Jinglei was a cautious man, and before the matter was clarified, he naturally did not dare to write anything rash in his secret memorial.

Zhao Ger arrived early the next day. Zhang Quan was left behind in the village to keep an eye on the grain supplies. But when they got to the site, they found everyone was already working. From the looks of them—panting heavily, sweat beading on their brows—they seemed to have been at it for quite a while already.

Zhang Quan's expression was hard to read as he came over and said, "This bunch started working before dawn even broke."

Probably they'd been so happy from eating meat and getting paid silver yesterday that they couldn't sleep, so they got up early.

Lin Xiao naturally did not want the situation to devolve further, so he stepped forward, ready to admonish both sides. 

But Shen Nian paid him no heed. With an expression of indignation, he pressed on: "The sealed memorial I submitted to His Majesty—why did he believe it? Because my credibility was earned with blood on the northern frontier. My loyalty to His Majesty is as clear as heaven and earth."

"Why has His Majesty remained tight-lipped on this matter? Because I deemed it too grave. Wang Yi commands fifty thousand North Mountain Imperial Guards—and he has social ties, whether superficial or deep, with many of you high ministers.

At noon they had meat. In the evening, they received their pay.

The copper coins were strung together with red thread.

Each string held over fifty copper coins, and it felt heavy in their hands.

Everyone was overjoyed—speechless.

Several families had previously had their children taken for corvee labor because they couldn't pay taxes, and they'd harbored deep resentment toward the officials above. At first, they'd suspected that with payouts every six days, the authorities would find excuses to deduct some later on.

Shen Nian suddenly felt a strong urge to see the Emperor. He wanted to know what was going on in Qi Junmu's head.

It was a rare moment of mutual understanding between sovereign and subject—both were eager to see each other.

Meanwhile, as Shen Nian rode toward the capital, the Emperor blocked all the court officials trying to pry for information. He saw no one, not even Lin Xiao, saying only that everything would wait until Shen Nian returned.
