Chapter 82: Dark Alley
Chen Qing emerged from Zhou's courtyard and walked toward home. Just as he turned the corner at Changping Street, an inconspicuous green-canopied carriage quietly approached and stopped beside him.
From the driver's seat, a plainly dressed but sharp-eyed coachman jumped down and bowed slightly, "Master Chen, my master requests your presence for a conversation in the private room of the tea house at the alley entrance ahead."
Chen Qing asked, "What is your master's surname and name?"
The coachman smiled obsequiously, "My young master's surname is Huang, given name Mingxuan."
Chen Qing's steps paused slightly, but he said impassively, "Lead the way."
Huang Mingxuan!?
The Huang family's eldest son, rumored to be the candidate for the next family head.
"Master Chen, please."
The coachman gestured invitingly, then led Chen Qing to the nearby tea house.
