Just after midnight…
The sudden arrival of soldiers turned the originally quiet White Millet Town into a mess. Only a large group of soldiers patrolling the streets and alleys were left. The Jianghu people who hadn't had time to escape were tied up with ropes and squatting on the ground, awaiting investigation.
A raid had occurred on Grasping Moon Alley. The residences of the three major families had already been controlled, and the remaining disciples of the Grasping Moon Tower were all gathered in a courtyard for supervision.
The civilians of White Millet Town entered a state of martial law under the raid of the soldiers. Their doors and windows were tightly shut, and they stayed at home. Other than a few barks, there was no sound.
In an inn at the corner of the town, Ye Jingtang took the Black Office's waist token and sent away the officers and soldiers who had come to search. After closing the inn door, he went to the second floor.
