Chapter 7:
At the entrance of a teahouse on the long street, Qiao Mu and Qiao Canxue chose a table close to the door and listened to the tea drinkers to gather information.
"Our City Lord Guo in Yan City is actually a kind-hearted person…" The tea drinkers glanced around and spoke quietly.
"He just spoils his child too much, to the point that the master’s son…is too spoiled."
"Things were fine on normal days. But a few days ago, when the City Lord was out and about, Childe Guo almost caused a mess in Yan City," the tea customer said with a bitter smile.
"Luckily, the City Lord came back two days ago, so Childe Guo should behave for a while."
"Otherwise, you folks from out of town, if you provoke the City Lord’s son on the street, you’d be in big trouble."
The City Lord’s son sounded like a typical spoiled child, perhaps he could be a way to get to the City Lord… After the tea customer left, Qiao Mu discussed with Qiao Canxue.
"If this City Lord is really a member of Wuji Association, then his recent outings might be related to the association’s plan to assassinate the emperor," Qiao Mu guessed.
"Makes sense. Maybe we can start by investigating the City Lord’s son."
