Chapter 498 The Last Princess 3
"Uncle, you stay in the store, I'll go back and pick them up."
"Okay, Tongtong."
When it comes to calling this thing, Zhang Xintong asked everyone to get used to it and call it that regardless of whether there are people around or not.
Zhang Xintong returned to the palace and asked several people to change into the new clothes she had bought.
Yunyao and Jiuyue hadn't left the house the entire time. When they saw the empty palace, their mouths dropped open. They hadn't heard any sound, and they hadn't expected the house to have been emptied.
"elder sister?"
"Okay, stop asking, let's go."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Yunyao felt a little uncomfortable. Not only Yunyao, but even Jiuyue felt a little uncomfortable. Zhang Xintong could understand that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Zhang Xintong sent a cake to Aunt Wang next door as a thank you gift, thanking her for her help. She also made a lot of clothes for her. Her old clothes were no longer wearable. Since there were not many clothes at home, they always had to have some changes of clothes. Aunt Wang was very happy. She had earned a lot of money in the past two days.
The dinner consisted of three dishes and a soup, and it tasted really good. Zhang Baozhu and Li Guihua were great cooks. Zhang Xintong told them to cook their own meals like this, and not to make them so delicious when opening a restaurant.
She just wanted to keep the store's business moderately prosperous and didn't want to become famous and be targeted by those with ulterior motives.
That night, Yunyao and Jiuyue tossed and turned in their bedroom for a long time before falling asleep. Zhang Xintong had no time to rest and sneaked back to the palace in the middle of the night. Zhou Kai couldn't die easily, and his lackeys couldn't be spared.
In this chaotic world, the palace could not be saved, and she did not want to let others take advantage of it, so she buried explosives in the yard and waited for Zhou Kai's lackeys to come and blew them to death.
Zhang Xintong did not return to the restaurant. She contacted Zhang Baozhu and told him to go back later tomorrow and not to worry. She comforted Yunyao.
At the same time as he remembered, Zhou Kai's lackeys arrived. In order to empty the palace, more than 200 people came, driving 100 cars.
These people all carried guns and were smiling happily. They were extremely happy because they could make money and get a taste of being a maid in the palace.
In the previous life, when they entered the palace, they killed the men directly and raped and killed the women. They were completely inhumane. What kind of commander he was, what kind of subordinates he had.
The original owner and Yunyao survived because Zhou Kai specifically instructed them to be taken back, and these people didn't dare touch them. Jiu Yue, not knowing that Gege wouldn't die, fought to the death to protect her master, and was beaten to death, but because of this, she wasn't raped.
More than 200 people rushed into the palace and were dumbfounded. The palace was empty, without even windows or doors. What was going on? Without giving them time to think carefully, Zhang Xintong ignited the explosives.
The deafening roar of the bombs ripped through the air, and an invisible force instantly ripped through the air, engulfing over 200 soldiers in the palace. Wailing echoed, limbs flew everywhere, and blood and flesh were tangled.
Zhang Xintong had planted enough explosives, and the locations were accurate enough, leaving them no chance to escape. Not only did she destroy the palace, but she also killed or injured over 200 people. Although some survived, they were either missing an arm or a leg, which was a great relief.
Zhang Xintong couldn't possibly leave the 100 cars they drove here to Zhou Kai, so she quickly put them into her space. She wanted to make Zhou Kai lose both his wife and his army.
Zhang Xintong left the palace quickly without staying any longer. She went to various banks in the city, changing her appearance and exchanging silver notes for a large amount of silver dollars. When the silver dollars were not enough, she also exchanged a lot of paper money. Zhou Kai had suffered such a big loss, so he must investigate the whole city. He should first exchange the silver notes, because the banks were all run by these generals.
After Zhang Xintong returned to the restaurant, she did not leave. The restaurant was operating normally and did not reopen. It just changed its name to Huicheng Restaurant.
The huge explosion attracted the attention of various forces. When Zhou Kai arrived at the scene, he saw the situation inside the palace and was afraid of an ambush, so he did not dare to go in. He sent his men in to search for survivors, and they quickly brought out a soldier whose leg was blown off.
"Marshal, save me, save me, it hurts so much."
"Answer my question first, what's going on here?"
"I don't know. When we came in, we found the palace was completely empty. There were no windows or doors. Then it exploded."
Zhou Kai immediately came up with a conspiracy theory: the people who had the ability to snatch away what he had set his eyes on and had so many explosives to use against him must be some other great generals. Who were they?
"Where's the car you drove?"
"Marshal, I really don't know. Call a doctor for me! It hurts so much!"
Zhou Kai was good at winning people's hearts, so he immediately ordered his men to send the man to the hospital, and also ordered his men to send all the living people in the palace to the hospital.
After Zhou Kai had won over the people, he glanced at the deputy general beside him. The deputy general understood what he meant and immediately followed. This deputy general was Zhou Kai's confidant and knew what kind of person Zhou Kai was. These soldiers with broken arms and legs were of no use to him. It was impossible to waste money on their treatment. All of them had to be dealt with.
Kong Haojing, who was still studying abroad at the time, had no idea what was happening in China. He did not return to China until two years later.
In his previous life, when he knew about the palace, he sent many people to investigate. He thought the original owner was dead and hated Zhou Kai very much.
The reason why Zheng Dashuai refused to accept Zhou Kai's advances and refused to cooperate with him was because of Kong Haojing. Kong Haojing was unable to touch Zhou Kai for a while, but many years later, Zhou Kai still died at Kong Haojing's hands.
In the past few days, Zhou Kai has been asking his men to investigate, and the whole city is in a state of panic.
Zhang Xintong helps Yunyao adjust to life at home, teaches her and Jiuyue some outside knowledge, and analyzes the current situation. Zhang Xintong doesn't want them to be greenhouse flowers that need love and protection; she hopes they will be strong roses that can face storms and challenges independently.
The next year, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China issued the "Renzi and Guichou School System," which stipulated that elementary schools could be coeducational for both boys and girls. This marked the beginning of coeducation. Zhang Xintong wanted to send Yunyao and Jiuyue to school so that they could learn.
Eight years later, Peking University began to admit female students; nine years later, the Communist Party was founded; and ten years later, many universities would admit female students. Zhang Xintong wanted them to learn useful knowledge, cultivate patriotic values, and become useful people for the country, rather than women who serve as slaves behind men.
Zhang Xintong was pleased that Yunyao and Jiuyue were adapting well. She'd recently been thinking about the second main mission. Making Zhou Kai lose everything was easy, and so was suffering, but leaving him infamous for eternity was definitely not easy.
Playing with women and robbing others' property wouldn't be enough to make him infamous for eternity. The only thing that would make him infamous and reviled by future generations would be treason. Given Zhou Kai's shameless and evil heart, he would definitely be labeled a traitor when the Sakura Kingdom arrived.
In the past two years, Zhang Xintong could not allow him to live so comfortably and made him endure endless pain every day.
Zhou Kai investigated for half a month but found no clues. After he stopped investigating, Zhang Xintong took action.
The original owner had been with Zhou Kai for half a year in her previous life, so Zhang Xintong naturally knew where he lived. In the middle of the night, when everyone in the Marshal's Mansion was asleep, a figure quietly sneaked in and went directly to Zhou Kai's room.
Zhou Kai was sleeping alone in the room. He was a very cautious person. After playing with women, he would ask them to leave and would not allow anyone to sleep next to him.
