Chapter 118
From the contents recorded in the letters, Su Wangchuan gained a deeper understanding of the tailor shop.
The shop was located near the money house and Laifeng Pavilion. It was an intelligence outpost planted by the Nu Tao Gang within the county seat of Huishui County.
Whenever a fat lamb appeared in Huishui County, they would almost always show up near the money house or Laifeng Pavilion. The tailor shop would then be able to gather bits of intelligence.
When people from the Jianghu joined forces with the county office to mobilize troops for a suppression campaign, the tailor shop could also quietly pass along word, warning the Nu Tao Gang to stay alert.
Because of its low-profile nature, the tailor shop had never been discovered by the county office. Even after the Nu Tao Gang was destroyed, it remained intact and undisturbed—until Wang Yuehui followed the trail of the water gear and traced it to their door.
The letters documented numerous instances of the tailor shop reporting intelligence and helping the Nu Tao Gang obtain great wealth, as well as the rewards the gang granted the outpost.
After pondering for a while, Su Wangchuan rose and went to the temporary interrogation room in the inner hall.
The three assistants had already been tortured beyond recognition. They had confessed everything and were now only begging for their lives.
The shopkeeper was no different.
