The Emperor squinted his eyes, if it wasn't those three scheming against Zhou Shuren, then who else could it be that provoked Mr. Zhou? The Emperor felt an investigation was needed, and a detailed one at that. He had withdrawn many people from Zhou Shuren's side, having thought that Jinzhou Province was already stabilized and all that was needed was to wait and net the final catch. There seemed no need for close surveillance; but now it looked like he had missed quite a few things.
The Emperor suddenly stopped in his tracks. Zhou Shuren had known all along that he was being watched, and yet he dared to write a letter seeking help from fugitives with such audacity. A smile formed at the corner of the Emperor's mouth. This was a message for him, wasn't it? He hastened to his desk. Fugitives? He had the most in the entire world under his control.
Even though Eunuch Liu did not look up, he could feel that the Emperor was in a good mood. He breathed a sigh of relief – good was good.
