Minghuang cannons sounded outside Jinling City. Regarding the attack on the Crown Prince, families in Jiangnan and the capital sent reports as quickly as possible to various places.
Gao Shuaisi of Liangzhe Road was the first to get the news. When he heard the sound of cannons being launched into the air, the prince was under attack, his head buzzed and he almost fell down.
The attack on the Crown Prince was almost as serious as the attack on the Crown Prince. It was on the ground under his jurisdiction and in a prosperous place hundreds of miles away from Hangzhou. He, the commander-in-chief, could not escape any involvement. Immediately after receiving timely reinforcements from the Changzhou Army, Shiziye and his party were safe and sound. Gao Shuaisi was stunned. After asking carefully, he learned that not even the horses were injured. Gao Shuaisi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly sent people to Changzhou.
In the army, Conggong first expressed his wish to reward him, and secretly rewarded him with wine, food and silk. He hurried out and rushed to Jinling County. On the way, he heard that the Crown Prince had returned to Pingjiang City, so he turned around and rushed to Pingjiang City.
He has to apologize quickly.
Zhao Xiansi and Gao Shuaisi of Liangzhe Road were at odds with each other, but this time he did not dare to laugh at the joke. If the prince really wanted to have someone on the ground in Liangzhe Road, he would not be able to escape. He would never be hired in the end.
Great luck!
Zhao Xiansi inquired about the news with trepidation. He was secretly relieved when he heard that the prince was safe and sound, and immediately sent a letter to the states and counties, ordering them to clean up the place and strictly investigate all kinds of evil deeds.
Jiang Caosi had not yet recovered from the shock of the attack on his son. The elders of the Zhu family urgently asked for a meeting. Jiang Caosi had just heard that the elder of his family, Mrs. Zhu, was being coerced to go north. He was frightened and almost fainted on the spot.
Past.
After sending away the elders of the Zhu clan, Jiang Caosi and Mr. Ge sat across from each other, wanting to cry but without tears.
The prince was attacked, and a few hours later, the Zhu family and his son were coerced into heading north. This matter couldn’t be more clear!
Regardless of whether the Zhu family and his son were the masterminds or accomplices in the attack on the Crown Prince, since the Crown Prince escorted them north instead of handing them over to the Xiansi Yamen on Liangzhe Road, then the Zhu family and his son can only be accomplices and let them go to Beijing.
It is to make them testify or bite.
Are the prince and Pang Xiang going to have a falling out?
Then wouldn’t he become a mouse in the cracks? What should he do?
No matter what he does, he can’t be thoughtful!
"Dong Weng, the prince is in Pingjiang City. Right now, we have to take care of the present." Mr. Ge said in a hoarse voice.
"I know! You don't need to say this, but why do you care about this? Go to see the prince? Pretend not to know? What should I do?" Jiang Caosi rubbed his face vigorously.
"Don Weng, let's go to the academy and talk to Wei Xuezheng, and ask for advice." Mr. Ge frowned, thought for a while, and suggested in a low voice.
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Caosi stood up and walked out.
When Jiang Caosi asked Wei Xuezheng for advice on the third time, the capital sent him urgently. Pang Shoucheng, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, frightened his horse when he was going out. He fell off the horse and was accidentally run over by a heavy-duty cart.
The bones of both lower legs were completely broken.
A thin piece of bamboo shadow paper, just a few words, made the leader of Jiang Caosi look eerie.
"There is an explanation so quickly. It seems that the prince has obtained the evidence." Mr. Ge's voice was very low.
"Mr. Pang, this is..." Jiang Caosi paused and sighed softly, "The disadvantage is so great that even the eldest son has been thrown away."
"Dong Weng needs to handle the silk business with all his heart." Mr. Ge leaned forward, "Look, should I go quietly to find Mr. Zhou?"
"Go quickly!" Jiang Caosi waved hurriedly.
"From now on, Dong Weng will have to go to the academy often to ask for advice." Mr. Ge said as he stood up.
"There is also the matter of repairing the academy. We really can't allocate money, but let's find a way for him to repair the academy properly." Jiang Caosi stood up and walked out with Mr. Ge.
"In the prosperous land of Liangzhe Road, there are many people who are willing to spend money to build a school palace. It's just that Wei Xuezheng is a wealthy and talented person who is not good at economics." Mr. Ge and Jiang Caosi talked in a low voice, left the yamen, and returned.
I went to my residence, packed some luggage, and went to talk to Zhou Chennian.

Silk shops in various states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River are all eyeing Pingjiang City.
First of all, Pingjiang City is the closest to Linhai Town. After the Jiangnan Silk Head Office in Linhai Town was raided, all the messages from the Jiangnan Silk Head Office were sent from Pingjiang City.
Secondly, there is a royal palace in Pingjiang City, where the prince lives.
The news that Mr. Zhu and his son were detained from their house in the east of Pingjiang City and brought to Beijing soon spread from Pingjiang Silk Road to everywhere. Immediately afterwards, the news that the weaving mills inside and outside Pingjiang City were busy again also spread like ripples.
Got out.
After all the chaos and confusion in the silk shops in various states and counties, the looms started to work again at varying speeds and became busy.
Gu Yan went from north to south, and then from south to north, checking the weaving workshops in various places that were busy again, and then received a letter from Zhou Shennian, and he felt very happy.
"Where is Miss Li?" Gu Yan threw Zhou Chennian's letter into the charcoal basin and asked.
"Looking at the itinerary, we should have returned to Pingjiang City by now." Shi Gun hurriedly leaned over and replied.
Gu Yan hummed, "Go back to Pingjiang City and take a look at the weaver schools along the way."
Shi Gun hurriedly bowed and agreed, then walked out of the tent in a few steps and ordered to go down.
………………………………
Pingjiang City.
Li Xiaonan got off the cart, A Wu and several long attendants carried three large baskets and several bundles into the yard. Li Xiaonan and Wan Qing waved goodbye.
Sister Mei heard the commotion and ran out from the back garden to greet her.
"Ah'nan is back! Ah'nan has lost weight! Ah Wu looks so good, where's Yu Ting? Yu Ting's coat is beautiful!" Sister Mei rushed in with a series of words before she came near.
"Where's Wan Qing? She's gone? Why don't you invite her to come in and sit down? It's still early in the day. Are you tired? Sit down and have a rest. Is it cold?
"Your brother bought me a hand stove, and I told him: Look, I'm busy all day long, how can I have any free time to hold a hand stove?
"This coat in Yuting is not thick, is it cold? This basket is so heavy, is it all for food? There is no shortage of food at home..."
Li Xiaonan stood in the yard, looking at Sister Mei who was busy with her hands, feet, and mouth.
"Sister Mei, you..."
As soon as Yu Ting opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Sister Mei: "Don't move, I'll come. I'll come. You go and have a rest. You're tired of riding in a car. I know how tiring it is to ride in a car..."
"Listen to Sister Mei first. Sister Mei must be suffocated." Li Xiaonan held Yu Ting's hand.
Yuting burst out laughing.
"...I'm telling you, before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I asked the blind man in front of the Guandi Temple to give your second sister a hexagram, and it worked very well!
"I'm telling you."
Sister Mei smiled happily at Li Xiaonan.
"It's so accurate! The hexagram says that when you enter the month of Ji and You, and the You gold triggers the Zhengguan star, your second sister's marriage will come. It's so accurate! Let me tell you, in the month you are not at home,
Four families have already come to our door to propose marriage to your second sister!"
Sister Mei laughed out loud.
"Ah!" Li Xiaonan's eyes widened, "Which four families? Who came to the door? That Miao matchmaker? Does the eldest sister know?"
"Then I really don't know. I talk a lot, so I'll tell your eldest sister, don't talk to me. Otherwise, if I don't guard against it and say it out, it won't be good. Four families!" Sister Mei was delighted.
He pointed at Li Xiaonan and shook his four fingers back and forth.
"When will the eldest sister come back? Where is the second sister?" Li Xiaonan looked at Sister Mei with a bit of laughter and tears.
"It's tomorrow. Your second sister just left this morning and said she'll be back the day after tomorrow. See how you've lost weight? What do you want to eat? Sister Mei will make it for you." Sister Mei pinched Li Xiaonan's arm with a look of distress on her face. "Stir-fried rice cake with shredded cabbage and shredded pork." Li Xiaonan ordered unceremoniously.
"The rice cakes from the store in Qiaotou that I just bought this morning are the best rice cakes in Pingjiang City. Our grandmother is so lucky! Where is Yuting? What do you want to eat? Awu?" Sister Mei turned around, raised her head and asked, hurriedly
