Chapter 395
Many had their eyes on Madam Pang's list. After all, obtaining this list meant gaining connections in Suzhou and its neighboring prefectures, allowing these individuals to be utilized for their own purposes.
An inn, the upper room.
"My lord, with the Imperial Dragon Guards present, how can we possibly get our hands on this list?" the attendant asked, his voice low, a flash of greed crossing his face.
The middle-aged man stood with his hands behind his back by the window, watching the bustling street. If he had known about this list earlier, he would have acted first. Unfortunately, he had lost the initiative, and now it was better to remain still than to act rashly.
After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man raised his hand and closed the window before speaking, "Have there been any movements from the Imperial Dragon Guards?"
Although the Imperial Dragon Guards were the cream of the crop and they dared not be presumptuous, Suzhou Prefecture was not their base of operations. The Imperial Dragon Guards also needed to eat, drink, and relieve themselves. Therefore, by merely keeping an eye on the servants, they could eventually deduce some intelligence from these subtle clues.
Just like the matter of Prefect Pang's madness this time, there should be people skilled in medicine among the Imperial Dragon Guards. However, even the most skilled physician cannot cook without ingredients; medicine is needed. As long as they kept a close watch everywhere, they would discover that Prefect Pang had been incapacitated.
"No, it seems the Imperial Dragon Guards have not sent anyone to spy on the Pang residence." The attendant did not dare to speak too definitively, as the Imperial Dragon Guards were known for their elusive nature. It was possible they had sent people, but they simply hadn't been discovered.
The middle-aged man nodded in understanding. "The Imperial Dragon Guards only obey the Emperor's orders. Those lurking in Suzhou Prefecture care about this list, but to the Emperor, this list is merely a useless trifle. It's normal for the Imperial Dragon Guards not to care."
The military power of Longyou Circuit had returned to the Yang family of the General's Mansion. All factions could now only focus on the political power of Longyou Circuit, which highlighted the importance of this list. However, if Scholar Gu did not care, let alone the Emperor, the supreme ruler of the Imperial Dragon Guards, Suzhou Prefecture alone was not qualified to warrant the Emperor's attention.
"I heard Commander Xie secretly met someone yesterday. Have their identity been ascertained?" The middle-aged man's expression grew more serious. He had been in Suzhou Prefecture for several days, but unfortunately, the First Prince had little foundation in Suzhou Prefecture, making it difficult to gather information.
"Reporting to my lord, our people have been dispatched, but unfortunately, the other party is a master, and likely has bodyguards with them, making it impossible to get close," the attendant replied in a low voice. Suzhou Prefecture was now a place where dragons and tigers hid. Whether it was the collateral branches of Longyou Circuit or people from the capital, it was a mix of dragons and snakes, so they dared not act rashly.
