Two days later, the fire in the former Zhang family mansion had completely gone out, and from a distance, it was all charred ash and dust. However, the soldiers stationed outside had not left and were still standing guard in shifts around the exterior of the residence.
In the evening, Zhulan expressed her confusion, "Since the fire has already been extinguished, why haven't the soldiers outside left?"
For the past two days, there had been nothing but speculation about why the Zhang family's former residence needed to be guarded.
Zhou Shuren had a guess in his mind, "I believe the Emperor wants to find something. It would be easier to discover now that it's been destroyed, wouldn't it? Now there's nothing to obstruct him."
Zhulan thought of a possibility, "Do you think that not a single person from the Zhang family survived, that they were all wiped out?"
Zhou Shuren replied, "That I do not know."
