Both of them felt that something was amiss and hastily asked, "Then, who else knows about this?"
Bai Erlang said, "Everyone knows about it already."
Bai Shan and Manbao exchanged a glance and silently shed a tear for County Magistrate Tang in their hearts, then unhesitatingly said, "County Magistrate Tang must have gone to do some unspeakable secret."
Bai Erlang became excited. "You all think so too, don't you?"
He said, "That's exactly what I think, which is why I've been waiting in the observatory, but unfortunately, he hasn't returned even as it's getting dark, and Daoxu was so unsympathetic to kick us out."
Manbao said gravely, "You don't even know what County Magistrate Tang is doing; that's not a secret."
"How is that not a secret?" Bai Erlang became anxious and exclaimed, "This has to count as at least half a secret, and you need to tell me half as well."
Bai Shan: "Go ask your father."
