"Lord Tang, are you there?"
Upon hearing the voice of Wang Kui, the Director of the Maritime Trade Bureau, outside the door, Tang Xingbang breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Regarding the Barbarian Slave trade, Wang Kui had been involved throughout; the two were like grasshoppers tied to the same rope.
He looked up at the young scholar, and seeing the other didn't stop him, he walked to the door and opened it a crack.
"What's the matter?"
Sweat dripped from Wang Kui's forehead, his breath a bit hurried, he whispered, "My lord, Qian Yi has gone missing!"
"What did you say?" Tang Xingbang's face changed upon hearing this.
Qian Yi was his informant planted in Li Mansion, both to monitor Hua Yinglan and, in case of any situation, issue instructions promptly.
This morning, as soon as the Princess landed, she openly interrogated Prefect Jiao Yu, and Tang Xingbang realized something was wrong.
The other party was not just going through motions but meant business!
