Chapter 122: I Didn't Let Enough Slip
Gu Yanzhi arrived in a brocade official uniform, list in hand.
Li Qiuchen didn't know a great deal about the administrative structure of the Great Chu Empire, but from what the locals had told him, the court had established a dual-office system in the northern frontier, the Garrison Office and the Internal Affairs Office.
These two offices operated independently above the local administrative apparatus, answering directly to the central government.
Tu Feiyun's Garrison Office was primarily responsible for training troops, guarding the frontier, and suppressing regional prefectures.
Gu Yanzhi, meanwhile, served in the Witchcraft and Divination Division of the Internal Affairs Office, a name that was a mouthful, so everyone simply called them the Internal Affairs shadow operatives.
The shadow operatives' principal duties were to monitor local affairs and gather intelligence.
Nobody knew when Gu Yanzhi had joined the Internal Affairs Office. The revelation was even more unsettling than the exposure of the chief senior brother's Medicine Master's Blessing.
Who knew what she had been writing down in that little notebook of hers?
Now that she had finally shown herself, the list she brought shattered every last remaining hope of getting off lightly.
