The masters of these branch stores have to submit the account books of the stores in their respective regions to Pingchang Prefecture each quarter, for Third Master Liang to personally review.
Master of Branched Wang had t Shujun several tis and could recognize Shujun’s identity at a glance.
But the timing seed off.
The account books for the last quarter had long been sent away, and it was more than a month before the next quarter. Why would Third Master co in person? Could there have been so major error under his jurisdiction that alard Third Master?
Master of Branched Wang was filled with fear and quickly saluted Shujun.
Shujun had been traveling in wind and dew for many days, not only looking sowhat haggard, but even his lips were chapped.
He usually cared for his beauty and valued his handso face like Ru Hua the most, but this ti he couldn’t afford to care about his appearance. Such a disheveled and downcast look was rarely seen in public.
"Master of Branched Wang, gather all the forces of the Huizi Store in the city and issue a reward imdiately! If anyone can provide information on this person, the master will reward them handsoly!!"
Taking out a scroll from his chest, Shujun imdiately instructed Master of Branched Wang to convey the order.
Master of Branched Wang was startled, "Yes, I shall handle it right away!"
But inside, he sighed with relief, it seed that it wasn’t because of so major error in his jurisdiction, but the trio had co to find soone?
When he spread the scroll, he saw a short-haired girl in purple, so beautiful that she took one’s breath away!
Master of Branched Wang imdiately took the painting and gathered the shopkeepers of all the Huizi Stores in the city.
However, when he returned, he brought back another piece of news.
"Third Master?"
With the Blood Phoenix Hui Order in hand, this person must undoubtedly be Third Master Liang himself, but on his way back, Master of Branched Wang heard...
"Third Master, recently soone has been disguising themselves as you, wearing red, walking around the city. According to Shopkeeper Han of the pastry shop, that person looks exactly like you," so when he issued Third Master’s order, others were surprised by Third Master’s personal arrival, but only Shopkeeper Han, who had once been to Pingchang Prefecture with him and had seen Third Master, inadvertently ntioned that another ’Third Master’ had already appeared in the city days before.
But looking at Third Master’s windbeaten and dusty appearance, it was clear he had been traveling continuously. Therefore, Master of Branched Wang pondered and guessed that soone must have disguised themselves as Third Master, for likely so significant sche, and he must alert Third Master of this.
Shujun frowned, "You say soone is disguising as ?"
"Third Master, don’t be angry, I’ve already sent people to inquire about that person, and I believe there will be news within two hours!"
And indeed.
Since Master of Branched Wang dared to make such a promise in front of Third Master Liang, it showed he was very confident. The underworld had always been mixed with various sorts; not to ntion the shopkeepers in the open, even among the local governnt offices and the Departnt of Surveillance, many reliable informants had been cultivated by the branch masters.
In this city, not only the shops and governnt offices but even among the beggar groups, there are people belonging to Master of Branched Wang, making it quite easy to gather information.
In less than two hours, soone ca to report.
"Third Master, Master of Branched Wang, it’s been found out! We don’t know the person’s na yet, but that person, together with soone in white and soone in black, calling each other brothers, entered the city a few days ago and checked into the Furai Inn!"
"You say soone in black and soone in white? No rush, tell in detail, describe the appearances of the two for ."
