The next day.
The Emperor's goal today was to inspect the river running south from Fu County, where a dam was scheduled for removal. Once this dam was dismantled, the water would flow into the pre-dug canals in the various counties, thus preventing any further congestion.
The routes the Emperor took here had all been prepared in advance, lined with guards, and ordinary people were not allowed within ten meters of the Emperor.
However, they could still see him from a distance.
Hearing that the Emperor was making an inspection, many commoners came from afar to watch, and the Hall Master of the Dragon Fang gang was among them. He had been watching from the moment he left his house, all the way until the Emperor and Nan Feng boarded their sedan.
This observation was crucial, as the Hall Master actually glimpsed Nan Feng. Even though he wasn't certain that it was Nan Feng, he happened to recognize Xiaoqing. He thought the coincidence too unlikely, so he hurried to notify Long San.
