Zhu Zhengfu's eyes flickered as he sheathed his saber, saying, "The saber belongs to the Ministry of Justice, that's true, but the person, not necessarily."
Duan Rong glanced at Zhu Zhengfu. This man wasn't foolish. If the person were really from the Ministry of Justice, why would they carry an identifiable Mo Saber on a night investigation?
"I will deliver this saber to Zhu Cheng overnight and have him investigate it. There should be results by tomorrow," he said.
Zhu Zhengfu, clasping his hands, addressed Duan Rong, "I apologize for the inadequate protection that startled you, my lord!"
Duan Rong smiled and said, "No need to be anxious, Lord Zhu. Perhaps it was just a petty thief."
Though Duan Rong said this to ease the atmosphere, how could a petty thief wield a standard Mo Saber from the Ministry of Justice?
Duan Rong looked approvingly at Chou Luan and said, "Lord Zhu, you've picked an excellent Guard for me!"
