Chapter 270: Exhausted

Fang Ke hurried along and finally reached the capital city by noon.

Upon entering the city, before he even saw the gates of the Northern Pacification Commission, he heard no less than ten different versions of rumors swirling around the streets and alleys.

Some people were spreading the word that Marquis Luting Yang Erlang charged into the Golden Throne Hall during this morning's court session and slaughtered half the ministers with his blade!

There were also rumors that Marquis Luting showed up at court this morning, drew his sword, and threatened all the civil and military officials to stabilize grain prices within half a month; if they failed to control the grain prices, he would take care of them…

Fang Ke was completely unnerved.
