105 Each Dishes was Mingyue’s Favorite (1/2)

When Jiang Xiao Tian arrived at Yan Zifu place, it was after the lunch hour. Because of that, the restaurant was not as crowded. There were only a few occupied tables. Yan Zifu immediately went to greet Jiang Xiao Tian and ushered him into a private room when she heard of his arrival.

A servant walked in with a tray of refreshment and retreated immediately. Only then did Yan Zifu bowed. ”Master,” Yan Zifu greeted.

”You can be at ease,” Jiang Xiao Tian spoke. He poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. ”How was the progress of our investigation? Did any of our spies sent any words?”

”The spies you sent to accompany the princes have all returned,” Yan Zifu said and continue to brief Jiang Xiao Tian the reports sent by each spy. According to the spies, there were no unusual activities from the princes during their stay in Da Cheng.

Jiang Xiao Tian nodded and stayed in silence as he thought over Yan Zifu's report.

”Master,” Yan Zifu broke the silence. She waited for the Second Master Jiang to give her permission to speak before she opened her mouth again. ”The spies who stayed to watch Prince Lu Wei of Qian Rong reported something. According to him, the Prince received a letter from someone through a small bird. Should we pursue further?”

”Did Prince Lu Wei sent out a reply?”

”No.”

”Intercept his letter when he sent out a reply,” Jiang Xiao Tian said. ”Continue to observe him and report to me immediately once there are any unusual activities from him.”

Yan Zifu nodded. ”Yes, master.”

”Have you found out anything about disappearing person?” Jiang Xiao Tian asked.

”The others visited the Government Office in each state of Da Cheng to look into this matter,” Yan Zifu spoke. She put her hands into her full sleeve and pulled out a rolled paper. ”I have compiled the stories where a person disappeared into thin air. There were only a few. The others are working to look further into this matter. But, Master, why are you looking into this?”

Jiang Xiao Tian took the rolled document from Yan Zifu and narrowed his eyes. ”You don't need to know about this. Just do as you are told.”

Yan Zifu lowered her gaze. ”Understood. Forgive my impertinence.”

Jiang Xiao Tian unrolled the documents and started to read. After a while, he placed the papers on the table and sighed with frustration. He did not find many clues from the stories. ”Help me to destroy these documents.”

”Yes, Master,” Yan Zifu stepped forward to retrieve the documents.
