Nanyang Prefecture City, inside the Prefectural Government Office.
In the dead of night, the government office, which should have sunk into deep sleep, was brightly lit.
Old Ding, dazed atop a flagpole, opened his eyes.
He looked down at his colleagues from days past, pacing back and forth in fear and trepidation.
In the distance, squads of soldiers, led by Team Leaders, carried torches and rode fast horses, dashing out the gate.
After hanging up there for so many days, he had never seen such a lively scene.
Listening carefully, he could faintly hear that it seemed they were looking for someone.
Zong Tai?
That bastard went missing?!
Ha...
…
The main hall in the inner courtyard.
Chao Fang sat in the highest seat, looking somber.
The long meeting table had been removed earlier.
"Big brother, I followed the tracks of the carriage and found an empty residence in the nearby alleys."
