Han Commander waved his hand, "No need, let Wu Chang handle it."

Xu Qing said, "There’s another matter, the people listed here, aside from those who vanished, there are two... from the southwestern area of the outer city, reported to have died of illness."

"What about it?"

"Normally, in High Willow City, whenever someone dies, be it of illness, old age, or an accident, they are to be sent to Liu Zun Temple to dispel the resentment!"

"These two bodies, were they not sent to Liu Zun Temple?"

"I have my suspicions about that," Xu Qing said. "But without a personal letter from the General Flag Envoy, it’s impossible to verify with the Temple! Moreover, that General Flag Envoy from the southwestern district of the outer city, the one with a feud with you, will certainly not cooperate!"

"I will immediately order someone to go to Liu Zun Temple to pull the records! As for the Outer South Government Office, we’ll bypass Zhou Kui and ask the Observatory to directly send the files!"

"This will make Zhou Kui furious, considering the enmity that already exists," Xu Qing said.

"Then let him be even more angry, and see what he can do about it!" Han Commander said. "Summon all the clerks from the Outer South Bureau, get ready to cross-check the names! Especially the names on the wooden tags!"
