Liang Zhi arrived in Tongzhou and first inquired about He Qunying's whereabouts. Upon learning he was indeed staying near the docks, he booked a room next door and then contacted the Ning Family's business in Tongzhou to closely monitor the arrival time of two ships.
The docks were calm and tranquil, with merchants and boatmen bustling about. After years of war, there was a newfound sense of prosperity.
Having arranged everything, Liang Zhi sent someone back to the capital to report to Fu Zhen.
The news of Princess Rong being stabbed to death by bandits spread like wildfire, generating various speculations. Furthermore, the Emperor ordered strict guards at the four city gates and had Pei Zhan personally stationed at Prince Rong's Mansion, adding a heavy atmosphere.
