The search continued until nearly dawn.

As Fang Yuan said, he found people before dawn.

Xiao Rui, who was found, was still in a coma.

"Fang Thorn History, why is Xiao Gongzi injured?"

Cui Yuanting walked out and asked.

Many people also looked at Fang Yuan suspiciously, but chose not to say anything.

Now Xiao Rui's face is lying pale, and he is still dressed as at the beginning.

Because the lower body was soaked with blood, the wound was clearly visible.

"Pei Xiang, people should have been injured at your place, right?"

Fang Yuan glanced at Cui Yuanting and said to Pei Lian.

Cui Yuanting is in such a hurry to go out, he must be an uneasy and well-meaning person.

At this time, as long as you take the initiative to stand up and speak, you are the opposite of yourself.

Therefore, Fang Yuan didn't give him face, he didn't reply to him, and directly connected with Pei Lian.

"Fang Thorn Shi is very efficient."

Pei Lin did not answer.

But no answer is yes.

Cui Yuanting's face froze, and he looked at Fang Yuan deeply and retreated.

"May I ask Pei Xiang, what's the matter with Xiao Gongzi?"

"This official is good at filing a case and thoroughly investigating how Xiao Gongzi was injured."

Fang Yuan asked.

wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Xiwen Pei's family.

"No, the royal family will take care of it."

Pei Lin waved his hand and said indifferently.

At this time, Princess Xiangcheng walked here.

"Thank you, Fang Tingshi, thank you!"

"Come on, take Xiao Gongzi back, and ask the doctor to take care of it."

Princess Xiangcheng saluted everyone present and expressed her gratitude.

But as Pei Lin said, the royal family will be responsible for this matter.

In fact, only the royal family is responsible for this matter, and it can be turned into a big thing.

Otherwise, there was a serious injury incident of the son of the prince in Liaozhou, and it would be difficult to calm down.

"Pei Xiang, go back and rest now, or continue to investigate Liaozhou?"

Princess Xiangcheng asked.

According to the normal situation, they will stay in Liaozhou for three days.

After the three-day expedition, they will go to other places.

This time, Pei Lin chose a total of four places as the inspection site for the elderly, and he was shocked after the inspection.

Today is the second day, there is one day left tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow I have to leave early to go to the next place of investigation, and the time is quite urgent.

Everyone looked at Pei Lin and waited for Pei Lin to make a decision.

However, the eyes of everyone at the scene were not very good, and they had a little dark circles.

They barely slept last night, helping to find Xiao Rui, and now they are quite tired.

If they could, they would like to take a break before continuing to accompany them.

"No rest, no investigation, let's go back to Beijing first."

Pei Ning pondered for a moment and said indifferently.

"Back to Beijing?!"

Princess Xiangcheng exclaimed.

The others also looked at Pei Lin in surprise.

Even Fang Yuan was quite surprised.

For a moment, Fang Yuan felt that something was wrong.

I only arrived in Liaozhou for a day, but I didn't say anything about it, and I was dumped by myself.

With Pei Lian's status, how could he easily return to Beijing?

"Xiao Gongzi is injured, so he should be sent back to Chang'an City as soon as possible."

Pei Lin said with a sad face.

"Pei Xiang, this trip is a long way, and returning to Beijing hurts Xiao Rui's body too much."

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

She didn't dare to return to Beijing at this time.

was worried that Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, would know that he had hurt his son.

hasn't communicated well with Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui will definitely be angry because of what happened last night.

You must reach some kind of agreement with Xiao Rui to be able to return to Beijing, otherwise it will be unfavorable to you.

"Don't worry, princess, this minister will ask the doctor to accompany her."

Pei Lin shook his head and said that he didn't have to worry.

"Pei Xiang, even if you have a doctor, you can't avoid a bumpy road."

Princess Xiangcheng said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, princess, Xiao Gongzi is not seriously injured, and he can hurry."

"Presumably Song Guogong is also very worried about his son's situation, we have to send him back quickly."

Pei Lin said in a firm tone.

"Then, then listen to Pei Xiang."

Princess Xiangcheng opened her mouth and noticed that the assassins around her were looking at her, and it was difficult to refuse.

Pei Lin said very concerned, Xiao Rui's injury may have been passed on to Xiao Yu, and she has to bring someone back.

I didn't think too much about it, and I may be lucky to go back this time.

But fortunately, he has changed his fate and should not marry Xiao Rui's short-lived ghost again.

"In the past two days, I am grateful for your hard work in accompaniment."

"Go back and rest, go back to your own state capital, the prime minister and the princess don't need you to see them off."

Pei Lin saluted to the assassins and governors present.

The assassins and the governor hurriedly returned the salute, saying that they did not dare.

"Princess, let's go back and prepare."

Pei Lin nodded, looked at Princess Xiangcheng and said.

"This palace wants to go and say goodbye to Du Miaoyan, Pei Xiang will go back and let people prepare, we will see you in an hour."

Princess Xiangcheng shook her head and rejected Pei Lian's idea.

She didn't give Pei Lin time to refute, and turned around to leave after finishing speaking.

When she turned around, she glanced at Fang Yuan.

"Congratulations to the princess!"

Seeing this, Pei Lin did not dissuade him.

Seeing this, the assassin and the governor who were present also saluted the princess of Xiangcheng.

"Fang Tingshi, take care of your body, I still want to see you that day."

Pei Lin looked at Fang Yuan and said with a smile.

When the words fell, everyone's expressions changed, and they secretly sighed that Pei Lin remembered Fang Yuan.

From now on, Pei Lin and Pei Clan and other forces are estimated to see Fang Yuan as a thorn in their side.

It's a pity that Pei Xiang will soon be in power, and the most important figure is missing from the forces against Fang Yuan.

"Xie Pei is related to the arms."

"But Xia Guan is young and healthy, Pei Xiangcai really needs to take care of his body."

Fang Yuan smiled in return.

Pei Lin was not angry, he smiled and turned to leave.

Everyone looked at Fang Yuan and returned to the guest house to make up for sleep with different expressions.

There were a few who said goodbye to Fang Yuan, and Fang Yuan quickly replied to them and left.

Royal Comptoir.

Princess Xiangcheng and Du Miaoyan have been waiting for a long time.

"I suspect that Pei Xiang already knows it's me."

When Princess Xiangcheng saw Fang Yuan, she immediately spoke.

Her face was not good-looking, and she was a little worried, worried about the consequences that followed.

"I also have some guesses, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a hurry to return to Beijing."

Fang Yuan frowned and said in a deep voice.

Now even Princess Xiangcheng has such an idea, and it is not far from ten.

"Is it possible, is it possible that an assassin will appear halfway and kill Xiao Rui?"

Princess Xiangcheng said in a gloomy face and in a low tone.

"Wanxiu, Xiao Rui is a playmate who grew up together!"

Du Miaoyan immediately spoke up, almost in a scolding tone.

Regarding Princess Xiangcheng's deliberate attempt to make Xiao Rui a eunuch, she already regretted not stopping it.

If you want Xiao Rui's life again, is this too cruel for Xiao Rui?

Xiao Rui is not wrong at all in this matter, no wonder him.

"I, I'm just kidding."

Princess Xiangcheng opened her mouth, but in the face of Du Miaoyan's eyes, she said lonely.

"On the way back, it should take two or three days."

"During this time, Xiao Rui will definitely wake up, and if you patiently discuss with him at that time, you will definitely be able to turn a big thing into a small one."

Du Miaoyan sighed in her heart and said softly.

"I will."

"If something happens to me, I'll fix the book for you, remember to save me!"

Princess Xiangcheng nodded, and her expression slowly returned to normal.

She is a woman with a fighting spirit and will not lose her fighting spirit because of a little setback.

At the same time, she is also a person who is good at hiding herself, and it is difficult for outsiders to really understand what she really thinks.

"Don't worry, I'll rush back as soon as possible."

Du Miaoyan solemnly promised.

"Fang Yuan, and you, do you know?"

Princess Xiangcheng stared at Fang Yuan and said.

"I'll do my best!"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly wryly.

His identity means that he can't just walk around.

"Well, I'll go back, no need to send it."

Princess Xiangcheng nodded heavily and got up to leave.

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan chatted a few words, and they also separated one after another.

The Royal Merchant House was close to the Assassin's Mansion, so Fang Yuan directly returned to the Assassin's Mansion.

After last night's all-night search, today's state officials are a little listless.

As soon as Fang Yuan sat down, the state official guarding the gate came to report, saying that it was the assassin of Luzhou who asked to see him.

"Please!"

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then got up to greet him.

Soon, Fang Yuan saw Huang Junhan, the assassin of Luzhou, at the door.

"Fang Thorn Shi, excuse me."

Huang Junhan's back was a little rickety, and he arched his hand towards Fang Yuan, chuckling.

"Please face the country of Qiu."

Fang Yuan greeted warmly.

Luzhou is next door to Liaozhou, so Fang Yuan has a lot of inquiries about Huang Junhan.

This is an old man of nearly fifty years old, brave and good at fighting when he was young, quite meritorious, is the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, and was awarded the title of 虢 [guó] Guogong for his merits.

In the past few years, because of poor health, the imperial court was afraid of his kindness and was named the history of Luzhou Thorn.

Luzhou is the third largest state in Hedong Province and has jurisdiction over ten counties.

Soon, Fang Yuan and Huang Junhan sat down at the coffee table.

"I don't know if the Duke of Yu Guo came in person, what is the so-called matter?"

Fang Yuan poured tea for Huang Junhan and asked politely.

"Fang Thorn History, how to build a cement road?"

Huang Junhan said bluntly.

"If it's someone else, it's thirty-five miles long."

"But when the Duke of Yu comes in person, it will be enough to run thirty miles in one mile."

Fang Yuan said politely.

In fact, the construction of cement roads in the three counties of Liaozhou is also one mile and thirty runs.

However, there are naturally some differences between the outside and the inside, after all, there is a difference between the inside and the outside.

"It's really not cheap to run a mile and thirty times, are there any other expenses?"

Huang Junhan muttered, asking while drinking tea.

"There is also a need to provide food for the workers."

"The rest will be all-inclusive on the side of the cement plant."

Fang Yuan said briskly.

The distance between each state is very long.

If the cement plant also includes food, it will be a large expense.

"Do you have a request for food?"

Huang Junhan nodded slightly and continued to ask.

"There is no requirement, but I hope that there will be some oil and water, so that the workers can have the strength to work."

Fang Yuan chuckled.

"Fang Thorn Shi is really good at thinking about the people."

"When I was in Luzhou, I heard of your name."

Huang Junhan looked at Fang Yuan and said with a smile.

"Let the prince of the kingdom smile."

Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a slight embarrassment.

Yushe County in Liaozhou and Wuxiang County in Luzhou are very close to each other, and they are also not far from Liaozhou City.

I heard that a few people from Wuxiang County recently went shopping on Chengbei Commercial Street, but Fang Yuan didn't pay too much attention to it.

It's just that I didn't expect that Huang Junhan had heard of him, which was really embarrassing, and at the same time felt a little proud.

This is kind of beating his reputation.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Fang Tingshi to be shy."

Huang Junhan laughed.

Fang Yuan smiled without saying a word, took a sip of tea, and poured tea for Huang Junhan by the way.

"Fang Thorn Shi, I want to build a road, what information do I need to provide to you?"

Huang Junhan put away his smile and said with a straight face.

He came this time to see Liaozhou cement road.

Before he came to Liaozhou, he had heard of cement roads.

After arriving, watching Fang Yuan take charge of Liaozhou for only half a year made Liaozhou change a lot, which made him excited.

Although it is expensive to build a road and try it, it can drive more wealth.

"A deposit of one or fifty percent, and the construction will start after the money arrives."

"Second, the map, if there is no map where people can cooperate with the construction."

"3. Ensure that there are no disputes with the local people in the process of road construction, and you will be responsible for any disputes affecting the project."

"Fourth, sign a detailed contract, which will clearly stipulate that everything will be done in accordance with the contract, and if you want to change, you will renegotiate the price and construction period."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice.

There is no need for such trouble in the construction of the cement road, and Fang Yuan does not need to worry about them making trouble.

However, it is different externally, and a strict contract model is required, so as not to cause unnecessary problems in the future.

It's just that Fang Yuan had thought about selling the cement road before, and he hadn't thought of a specific contract yet, so he had to study it again when he went back.

"It's complicated, I'll let Changshi talk to you when I go back."

Huang Junhan listened carefully, and finally chuckled.

When he heard that the contract was signed, he was also at peace and was not afraid of problems in the process.

Everything is done according to the contract, which is what everyone wants to see, and there is a little more sincerity between each other.

"Xie Yu Guogong supports."

"I'll go back and let the cement factory directly connect with your long history."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

"Is that toilet for sale?"

"As people get older, they feel more comfortable to sit."

Huang Junhan was a little embarrassed and whispered.

"Yes, but you have to install it yourself."

"If the Duke of Yu has other needs, he can ask someone to send a message, is it for sale? How to sell? I'll have someone get back to you. ”

Fang Yuan said with a smile.

He suddenly realized that some people might be embarrassed to come and order.

Or because he was worried about Pei Lian's influence, even if he wanted to cooperate with him, he was embarrassed to come to the door and finally left.

And the reason why Huang Junhan dared to come was because he was the respect of the country, and he was different from Pei Lin in terms of official position, so he didn't need to sell Pei Lian's face.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuan felt that it was necessary to wait for people to go to the State Guest House to publicize it, so that they knew that they didn't need to come to the door, as long as they sent someone to send a list of needs privately.

"Fang Thorn Shi is wise."

"Then I won't bother, and I'll go back and let people deliver what they need."

Huang Junhan nodded with satisfaction, got up and prepared to leave.

Fang Yuan got up to send him off, and only stopped when he arrived at the door of the Assassin's Mansion.

After seeing Huang Junhan leave, Fang Yuan called Zhang San over.

After Zhang San understood what Fang Yuan meant, he ordered someone to bring the words to Lu Xia.

Soon, Lu Xia let the assassins and governors who were still in the guest house know what Fang Yuan meant.

And just like that, an hour passed.

Princess Xiangcheng and Pei Lin and others left and returned to Chang'an City.

After they left, the assassins and governors of the State Guest House left one after another.

Except for Li Tao and Zhang Gongjin who came to say goodbye to Fang Yuan, the others left directly.

"Fang Yuan, I'll come to play with you later!"

Li Danqiu's eyes were shining, and he said goodbye to Fang Yuan.

She was thinking about Fang Yuan's nine-story stargazing tower in her heart, and wanted to get a glimpse of it.

Soon, the state assassins left.

Fang Yuan received thirteen letters he wanted.

There are thirteen states that want concrete roads and other things, and they have made a list of what they need.

Of the eighteen states in Hedong Province, thirteen states cooperated with Fang Yuan, which surprised Fang Yuan.

It can be said that after this time, Liaozhou will usher in the moment of take-off.

Although he offended Pei Lian, the gain was huge.

"In the end, there is still a shortage of talent."

Fang Yuan looked at the thirteen letters, a little bitter in his pride.

The needs of each letter are different and the types are more complex.

In this regard, Fang Yuan could only hand it over to Qi Cao to join the army to distinguish it, and then distribute it to various factories.

If you still have a think tank team at this time, it would be better to help deal with these things outside of officialdom.

In fact, Fang Yuan had already had the idea of setting up a think tank team, and the last time he wanted to accept Zhang Ji was because of this, but unfortunately he went to study.

A few days have passed in a flash.

Whatever the state needed for the assassination was responded.

After responding to them, their long history also arrived in Liaozhou City.

Fang Yuan presided over and asked the directors of the major factories to arrive, and they talked about it for several days to finally finalize the contract.

Honeycomb coal, toilets, and red bricks are needed to arrange for people to set off immediately, but the construction of cement roads requires various preparations.

Everything is in order, everything is going in a good direction.

But on this day, when Fang Yuan was entertaining Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu, he received bad news.

Wang Shiyu wanted to come to Fang Yuan to settle the accounts of the Wang family's father and son, but Du Miaoyan blocked it and came over to drink tea with Fang Yuan.

"Master, the villagers of Shaoshan Village, Leping County, do not allow our red bricks to pass through their village road."

The newly established brick-burning factory Yu Shaofeng came to report.

Naturally, he was also one of the guards of the Fang Mansion and was pulled out to be the factory director.

Fang Yuan had too few people to use, so he could only bring in guards to fill in every time he set up a factory.

Fortunately, Fang Yuan was free when he was in Wuling County, and he specially cultivated them, so that they could be regarded as having some ability to deal with them.

"Is there a reason?"

Fang Yuan's brows suddenly furrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

Leping County is the territory of Bingzhou, and Shaoshan Village is next to Pingcheng County.

The brick burning factory has an order from Xinzhou, a very large order, which needs to be transported through the state.

Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu also stopped drinking tea and looked at Yu Shaofeng with worry and curiosity.

"There's no reason, it's just that they won't transport it to us."

"We have already negotiated with their village chief, but the village chief ignored us and had no conditions, and we also approached the county magistrate of Leping County, but the other party was vague."

Yu Shaofeng's face was ugly, and he exhaled angrily.

He tried all the methods he could, and only came to Fang Yuan after he had no choice.

"Is there any other way to send it over?"

Fang Yuan had a cold face and said in a deep voice.

The villagers of Shaoshan Village ignored it, and it can be said that they were Diao people.

But if the county order of Leping County is ignored, it is the reason for the history of the state.

and the state assassin Cui Yuanting, it should be that he was ordered by Pei Lin to block his own development.

In this order, there is no one in the state.

"Yes, but it takes more than thirty percent of the time, and I heard that the road is dangerous, and there are often bandits."

"But if we start from that road, we definitely don't have enough time, and it will be overtime after we arrive."

Yu Shaofeng also came to Fang Yuan after investigating clearly.

If the time limit is overdue, the other party has the right to return the goods, and you need to compensate you for the 1% deposit.

This was previously agreed, because the copper coins were too difficult to transport, so they needed to be compensated for the labor costs.

"Okay, the official knows, you go to the Pingcheng County Order to negotiate first, and the official will find a way."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

Do you want to contact Xinzhou Thorn History to modify the time?

Yu Shaofeng left.

Du Miaoyan saw Fang Yuan pondering, so he didn't bother.

About a stick of incense later. Fang Yuan was about to write a letter to Xinzhou Assassin when he received a letter from the other party.

[Fang Thorn History, the deposit has been delivered, please deliver the red bricks as soon as possible, please remember to compensate for a slight delay. 】

After reading the letter, Fang Yuan's face immediately sank.

Damn, it's tricked!
