Chapter 288: Layout, Siege
In the quiet room of the inn, only the sound of candles in the lantern could be heard, and everyone was thinking about their own thoughts. Waiting for the dawn in a daze.
As the sun rose, the yard of the post station broke the silence and gradually became noisy. At this moment, Yao Fusu and Beigong Qing had already gotten up and freshened up, and knocked on the door of Su Ziheng and the others.
After entering, he found that Zhong Qinghan and the three of them had already sorted out their clothes, and each sat in the corner of the table in the room, not talking to each other.
As soon as Yao Fusu entered, he apologized: "I'm really sorry, I drank a little too much last night, and I neglected the three of you, I don't know how you rested?" ”
Su Ziheng glared at him viciously, ignoring him, it was this dead shemale who couldn't do things that caused him to be so embarrassed in the morning.
Zhong Qinghan smiled and said: "Thank you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your hospitality, the courtiers are grateful, but they have been disturbing for a long time at this time, so they will not delay His Royal Highness the Prince's handling of official business, and the courtiers and others will retire first." ”
Yao Fusu didn't keep much, sent the three of them out, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly said, "Imperial sister, when will you return to Donghai County?" ”
Zhong Qinghan replied: "The courtier's sister will go to visit Lord Jiang Ankang, the prefect of Jiangning Mansion, and after this matter is over, maybe she will return to Donghai County within three or five days." ”
Yao Fusu thought about it when he heard this, and said, "It's better to wait for the Lantern Festival, and I'll go together." I'm going to have to deal with some things these days, and I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you for the time being. As he spoke, a hint of murder flashed in his eyes.
Zhong Qinghan and Su Ziheng knew that he was going to launch a retaliatory action against the Heaven and Earth Net, and asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, do you need our help?" ”
Yao Fusu said with a smile: "No need, Lone has already recruited the town government army of Jinling Mansion, plus Lone's East Palace Janissaries and the many catchers of the Six Gates, there are more than enough manpower, you just need to wait for good news in the city." ”
Zhong Qinghan said: "That sister wishes His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a successful start and success." ”

Leaving the post station and returning to Zhao's mansion, Zhao Chengwen was about to go out at this time, and when he saw Zhao Wan'er coming back, he didn't show the slightest abnormality to his daughter who didn't return overnight, but just asked them to hurry up and go in for breakfast. He himself hurried to the direction of the wharf and continued to be responsible for recruiting workers to work in Donghai County.
After several days of recruitment, and with the tacit acquiescence of Jiang Ankang, the governor of Jiangning Prefecture, many poor people in Jiangning Mansion have chosen to move their families to Donghai County. The number has far exceeded the expected 5,000-odd people, reaching 10,000, and even continues to grow.
It's just that after the first few days of the peak period of registration, the number of people has been greatly reduced, for which Zhao's firm has spent more than 100,000 taels of settlement fees, and it can be said that it has been ruined for the development of Donghai County.
After Zhong Qinghan found out, he promised to give Zhao's firm an excellent location in the planned new city in Donghai County to make them their headquarters, so as to compensate them for the price they paid when recruiting workers.
In addition, a place of more than 20 acres of land was allocated to Zhao Mansion to build a garden, which was located close to the edge of Zhongfu Garden, which was regarded as a pair of neighbors. Zhong Qinghan's arrangement is also convenient for Su Ziheng to return home in the future, which can be described as well-intentioned.
After Su Ziheng and the others entered the Zhao Mansion, they did not go back to the room to make up for sleep. After a short rest, they got busy.
Zhong Qinghan took Lianfeng and the Black Crow Army to the prefect's mansion to meet Jiang Ankang; Zhao Wan'er went to the shop of the Zhao firm in the city to direct the relocation, although the Zhao firm and the Zhao Mansion will be relocated to Donghai County, it does not mean that the shop of the Zhao firm in Jiangning Mansion will be withdrawn.
Su Ziheng also took Shi Meng and others to various academies and private schools in the city to find a master who was willing to serve in Bailu Academy. Now there are more and more students in Bailu Academy, and only a limited number of people can't teach them at all.
On the way, he ran to the place where Zhong Chengda stayed, and found that more than half of his treasures had been processed, in exchange for more than 1.5 million taels of silver and dozens of boats of grain. It is estimated that after all the rest is processed, more than 2 million silver can be exchanged back, which is enough to support the construction of the first phase of the project in Donghai County.
In Su Ziheng and Zhong Qinghan's plan, the first phase of the project needs to complete the construction of the Donghai County Government, the construction of reservoirs and salt fields, and the construction of simple residential areas, otherwise more and more people will move to Donghai County, and if they do not plan their places to live and pay attention to hygiene, so many people will be crowded together, and infectious diseases will easily break out.
After planning the residential area, it can also invisibly improve the sense of belonging of those migrant workers to Donghai County.

……
In Jiangning Mansion, in the basement of an old pawnshop. The king of Yama, the head of the ten great Yama monarchs of Tianluo, was working in the secret room to heal his wounds, and he never thought that Ji Bin, the deputy head catcher of six doors, would have skills that were not inferior to his own, so how far did their head catcher Xu Shun reach?
Could it be that Tianluo has not reappeared in the past few years and is too far behind? However, it doesn't have to wait long, the Heaven and Earth Net can once again override the entire continent, letting everyone know that the terrifying existence that enveloped the entire continent back then is coming back.
Because the master behind them, Genghis Khan Temujin, has re-emerged from the mountain, leading hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen to sweep the world, repeating the scene of thirty years ago.
Let the whole continent tremble, fear!
Suddenly, King Yama's ears moved, and he seemed to hear an alarm from above the secret chamber, followed by a faint smell of blood.
His face changed, and he immediately knew that his tracks were exposed, and he ran out through a secret passage in the secret room.
He hadn't been far away when he heard dense footsteps from behind.
King Yama sneered, didn't look back, and slapped a palm on a mechanism on the wall of the passage on the left side of the secret passage, and suddenly in the "creaking" sound, several broken dragon stones fell, blocking the pursuers behind him.
"If you don't do it, this secret stronghold has been exposed anyway, and it's worthless to keep it, so this king will let you taste the secret technique of the Heaven and Earth Net."
As he spoke, he flipped his hands and slapped them on the switches on the wall of the passage one by one. In the secret passage behind him, thousands of arrows suddenly fired, falling rocks rolled, and countless poisonous smoke came out from both sides.
"Quickly withdraw, there is a mechanism!"
Several of the six door catchers tore off the face towels they were carrying, covered their mouths, and quickly withdrew from the passage.
The pawnshop is close to the city gate, and the exit of the secret passage is also outside the city of Jiangning Mansion. When King Yama opened the bunker at the exit of the secret passage, he was surprised to find a group of people standing outside.
The leader was Yao Fusu, and the person standing next to him was Ji Bin. Beigong Qing was surprisingly not accompanied by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time.
Yao Fusu sneered: "King Yama, you are really bold, you dare to hide in the city and wait for the opportunity to assassinate the Lone King again." It's just that you underestimate the reconnaissance ability of my six doors in Great Xia, do you think you really don't notice it these days? You're wrong! Lone is just a layout. ”
After speaking, he pointed at King Yama with his hand, and said, "Up, fetch his head for Gu General!" ”
