I smiled and said, "Lin Mautsai, I came here this time to ask you about something."
"Oh?" Lin Mautsai raised an eyebrow. "What can I help you with, my lord? Please, go ahead."
I smiled again and said, "Lin Mautsai, yesterday morning, a carriage left your business and delivered Liu Mingyi to the Plains Merchants. I would like to know if that carriage belongs to you."
Lin Mautsai glanced at me and coldly replied, "My lord, I don't seem to have an obligation to tell you these things, do I?"
I smiled again and said, "Lin Mautsai, I believe you should know what I do."
Lin Mautsai looked at me and said, "Of course I know. You are a lord from the Courier Camp and the Spy Camp."
I nodded. "Since you know, you should understand that I have the right to ask you these questions."
Lin Mautsai looked at me and suddenly burst into laughter. "You must be joking! What right do you have to inquire about my matters? Do you have a decree from the Military Affairs Office?"
I shook my head. "I do not have a decree from the Military Affairs Office."
Lin Mautsai coldly said, "Then on what basis are you asking me?"
I smiled and said, "Lin Mautsai, I advise you to cooperate a little; otherwise, it won't look good for anyone."
Lin Mautsai looked at me, and suddenly his expression changed. "I warn you, don't forget that this is Nanjiang, not your Northern Capital. Here, if it's a dragon, it coils; if it's a tiger, it lies down!"
At that moment, the man sitting next to Lin Mautsai suddenly slapped the armrest of the sofa, stood up, and pointed at me, saying, "Did you not hear what Mr. Lin said? Hurry up and get lost!"
I looked at this man and sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
Lin Mautsai looked at me and chuckled, "This is my mentor, Mr. Li Fuzhi."
I glanced at Li Fuzhi and smiled, "So it's Mr. Li. My apologies."
Lin Mautsai gave me a glance and waved his hand. Suddenly, seven or eight burly men burst in from the reception room, each one muscular with a fierce look on their faces, holding various weapons and surrounding us.
I frowned and asked, "Mr. Lin, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Mautsai looked at me and laughed heartily, "I don't mean anything. I just want to remind you that this is Nanjiang, my territory. When you're here, if you're a dragon, you stay coiled; if you're a tiger, you lie down!"
I glanced at Lin Mautsai and said calmly, "Lin Mautsai, you've got some guts to wave your weapons in front of us. Aren't you afraid of dying?"
Lin Mautsai sneered coldly, "Don't try to scare me. I may not have many skills, but I have guts. Let me tell you, your tricks won't work here!"
I looked at the group surrounding us and then back at Lin Mautsai. "Mr. Lin, have you thought about the consequences of what you're doing?"
Lin Mautsai laughed heartily again, "Consequences? What consequences? Let me tell you, this is my territory. Even if I kill you, no one will know!"
I shot him a glance and replied, "Lin Mautsai, don't forget that I'm from the Military Affairs Office."
Lin Mautsai sneered, "Bullshit Military Affairs Office, this is Nanjiang, the land of us Nanjiang people. You Northern Capital folks are used to being tyrants in Northern Capital, but when you come here to act wild, you should at least consider the place!"
