Inside a secret roo Qian bowed respectfully to an elder “Father’sand Chu clans”
Sang Hong lightly stroked his beard There wasn’t much joy in his expression “How can it be that sitian if this was enough to make those two fatian can still turn things around?” Sang Qian asked with curiosity
“He will definitely think up so released a light laugh “The exchange per, there’s still a whole arsenal of tricks waiting for him We’ll cut off their most competent ally first, and then we’ll deal with the isolated Chu clan”
“You ht toyed with under father’s hands?!” Sang Qian roared with laughter
Sang Hong shook his head “It’s not that Chu Zhongtian is inferior, but instead that I have the emperor and e a rumbled to himself that his father always loved to blabber about nonsense He was clearly doing a other people He really was taking modesty too far
“Oh, by the way, father needs to take good care of your body too Brightmoon City’s rich oods’ earlier” Sang Qian winked as he spoke, giving his father a knowing expression
Sang Hong rolled his eyes at his son “Are you really still holding a grudge because I didn’t let you go to Iirls as soon as I turnedQian bowed his head at once in apology But inside, he had soht and honest I’ve ht slander your respected self’s na as I can take care of the ned ive you a piece of wisdo with a heavy voice, “An honest appearance is coood reputation If you want to be an honest and upright official, then you have to be even more crafty than those corrupt officials”
“Only if you receive those clans’ gifts would they treat you as one of their own, only then will cooperation beco sos”
“The task ere entrusted with this time is to deal with the Chu clan, take back all of their salt and iron wealth back to the court where it belongs Everything else is secondary”
Sang Hong bowed respectfully “Father’s instructions are wise”
He couldn’t help but sign inwardly To even justify sleeping o perhaps his father was the only one in this world ould do such a thing
“Reporting! Chu clan’s young !” A soldier passed on this e at the entrance
“Why did he co Qian’s brows furrowed He really didn’t like this guy for soht about how that second-rate rascal ended up obtaining the Goddess like firstinto shi+t No, this was a flower falling into an entire hole of shi+t
He felt even more irritated when he recalled how Zu An won a few hundred thousand silvers fro your ereatly! How ht you? You just don’t learn!” Sang Hong said in dissatisfaction His son ay too i a shred of his father’s composure “Go and see what Zu An ca Qian replied resentfully It’s all that Zu An’s fault that his dad scolded hi in the hall He suddenly sao chunks of Rage points co Qian
Zu An was speechless He was already so upset when the two of them didn’t even meet yet?
Does he know about what happened betweena bit of an a really happened either?
I’ination run wild, Sang Qian finally cas you to River Patrol Police Ca mastermaster possibly fit someone like him?
But his father always told hiet the best of hiuy’s name, wouldn’t he feel even more enmity?
He was incredibly conflicted inside But how could he possibly know that Zu An already knew about his hostility through a different way?
“We discovered that a large batch of illicit salt is being unloaded fro Qian to lead your men and completely take out those illicit salt traffickers” Zu An didn’t feel like wasting any tiht to the point
“Illicit salt?” Sang Qian was ihtened “Where did Brother Zu obtain his intelligence? Why did our River Patrol Arht nod to his subordinate while talking That subordinate nodded slightly as well before silently withdrawing
Zu An and the others didn’t notice anything After all, there were just too many River Patrol Army men here, and none of them were familiar with this place
“I do not believe the key issue right nohere the intelligence comes from, but rather that we need to catch those criminals as quickly as possible” Zu An obviously didn’t want to bring up Qiu Honglei
He originally wanted to berate this guy and say that even a brothel has better infore of this type of cri?
But after some consideration, the Chu clan still had to depend on them in the future He held back on these words for now and cook his ass later when things were already decided afterwards
