The affair between the Baozhuang Building and the Tao family had been the talk of the Capital City for a while, but now Yan City had become the new topic of gossip.
The noble ladies of the Capital City would only sigh that such a good granary had burned down just like that, and that the people of Yan City would probably have a hard time next year. But their concern ended with a single sigh.
Yan City was far from the Capital, so it didn't affect the people there in the slightest.
However, the attitude of the court officials was completely the opposite. After hearing what his son had to say, the Left Minister in particular felt that the situation in Yan City was likely even more complex than he had anticipated.
As it involved military affairs, the Left Minister wanted to host Prince Zhenbei to ask for his guidance, but the prince claimed illness and refused to see anyone, shutting his doors to recuperate.
