They learned the general situation from Su Han. At that moment, everyone was furious.
How could it be that while they were out on a mission, as soon as they returned to the Royal Confidential Office, Lord Chu already knew? Wasn't that a sign of betrayal?
Zhao Gang, known for his impulsive temper, exclaimed, "Hey, Lin Yu, why are you carrying Pork? Be careful not to get it dirty; we still need to eat it for lunch!"
"Lin Yu, I thought the General Affairs Department transferred you to help with serious work. How did you end up doing this?" Su Han feigned a sigh. "Who did you offend? I have a decent relationship with Director Feng; should I talk to him on your behalf?"
"No need." Lin Yu showed some spirit. "I’ll pick myself up from where I fell. Su Han, just wait; I will return sooner or later and won't let you see me as a joke."
Though he didn't know how he ended up in this predicament, he vaguely suspected it had something to do with Su Han.
"Look at what you're saying. Sigh." Su Han sighed deeply. "Well then, you carry on."
Fine, if you’re determined to seek death, then it won’t be difficult...
...
"Zhou Meng, how's the surveillance going?"
Su Han entered the teahouse where Zhou Meng was and immediately asked.
"Sakura Wood Chamber," Zhou Meng pointed out the window. "That Baron has been staying in Sakura Wood Chamber since arriving in Tiandu. Since yesterday, many people have been coming and going. And guess who I saw enter today? Zhang Shun, the chief scribe of the Tiandu Dali Temple."
"Damn it, he's probably colluding too," Zhao Gang couldn't help but curse.
"There's something strange as well," Zhou Meng continued. "The one who brought Zhang Shun was a black luxury carriage. After Zhang Shun got out, the carriage waited outside. He went in for about half an hour and came back out to get back in the carriage. But just a few minutes later, he got out again and re-entered Sakura Wood Chamber."
There were people in that carriage!
Zhang Shun was just a runner; the real key figure must be inside that carriage!
Su Han quickly made a judgment: "Did you note down the carriage's markings?"
"I did and checked it," Zhou Meng hurriedly replied. "The carriage belongs to Xu Deshan, the owner of Ruixiang Trading Company. Xu Deshan studied in the enemy country when he was young and later worked for a while in the Tiandu government before resigning within a year to start Ruixiang Trading Company, which has been thriving."
"Then it's simple." Zhao Gang thought without hesitation. "Just capture Xu Deshan."
"If only it were that simple," Zhou Meng shook his head with a bitter smile. "Xu Deshan is not an ordinary person; he studied at Sakura Academy while in the enemy country. Do you know who his classmate was? It was Ma Chao."
“Ma Chao?” Su Han frowned.
“That’s our current Tian Du Prefect, Ma Chao,” Zhou Meng quickly explained. “This Ma Fuyin is a veteran National Pillar who participated in the Border Battle. During the Capital Defense Battle, he was ordered to hold the Weapon Depot and fought against the enemy for eight days and nights until he ran out of ammunition and supplies, at which point he led the remnants back to the capital.
Moreover, he was the one who drafted our Great Qian's Labor Code, so his reputation is quite formidable. He has a very close relationship with Xu Deshan. If we were to arrest Xu Deshan without solid evidence, and Ma Fuyin were to come after us, Zhao Gang, can you bear that responsibility, or should it fall on Captain Su? You should think this through carefully.”
It seemed this matter was quite tricky and not easy to handle. Su Han clenched his left hand into a hollow fist and gently tapped his lips.
