"Provincial Governor, the Wang Family's shadow guards are out in full force. All the peddlers and servants in the city have also heard the news. Sourcepeak City is in chaos!"
Sourcepeak City, back hall of the Bing Province Provincial Governor's Residence.
An old man in scholarly robes cupped his hands at a dignified middle-aged man in official robes.
This middle-aged man was the Provincial Governor of Bing Province, Wang Liaoyuan. When Li Zexuan intercepted Wu Jie at Longmen Pass, he had borrowed troops from him!
"The Wang Family's shadow guards are out in full force?"
Hearing this, Wang Liaoyuan frowned and couldn't help but ask, "What exactly happened that made all the Hidden Guards of the Wang Clan come out and cause such a commotion?"
Although Wang Liaoyuan was a collateral descendant of the Wang Family of Taiyuan, he was now the Provincial Governor of Bing Province, which meant that he represented the imperial court. The sudden appearance of the Wang Family's Shadow Guards and such a big commotion put him in a difficult position!
The scholar cupped his hands and said, "This old man doesn't know! I only heard that the Wang Family is searching for two people in the city. One is a Turkic merchant called Zhu Hongsheng who just arrived in Sourcepeak two days ago. The other is the owner of the Chuji Ironware Shop, Kang Changan! "
Wang Liaoyuan was even more confused. He muttered, "A Turkic merchant and the owner of an ironware shop. Why is the Wang Family looking for them?"
After a moment of silence, Wang Liaoyuan stood up and said, "Have someone prepare a carriage. This official is going to the Wang Family Ancestral Residence!"
He had heard that Wang Yu had just returned to Sourcepeak and wanted to meet him.
At this time, a soldier came in and cupped his hands at Wang Liaoyuan. "Provincial Governor, the Wang Family Head has sent someone to deliver a letter. He says that it must be opened by you!"
"Oh? Bring it here! "
Wang Liaoyuan's expression shifted as he hurriedly ordered the soldier.
"Here!"
The soldier came forward and handed the letter to Wang Liaoyuan with both hands. Wang Liaoyuan took the letter and saw that it was sealed with wax. His expression turned solemn. He did not immediately open the letter. Wang Liaoyuan said to the soldier, "You can leave first!"
"Yes!"
The soldier received the order and left.
Only then did Wang Liaoyuan open the letter. There were only a few words in the letter, but Wang Liaoyuan's expression suddenly became more solemn.
The scholar at the side couldn't help but ask curiously, "Provincial Governor, what did the Wang Clan's head say in the letter?"
Wang Liaoyuan immediately put away the letter and said with his hands behind his back, "The Wang Family's hidden guards have been mobilized under the orders of the imperial court. Tell the guards to not act recklessly and not to obstruct them. Do what you should do as usual!"
"The imperial court's order?"
The old scholar was startled when he heard this. When he came to his senses, he quickly cupped his hands and said, "Understood!"
With that, he turned around and left.
Wang Yu had expected that the Provincial Governor's Office would definitely receive news of the Wang Clan's actions and take action. That was why he wrote a letter to Wang Liaoyuan.
However, in this letter, he did not explain too much, nor did he ask Wang Liaoyuan to mobilize the bailiffs of the provincial government to help him search. This was because this matter concerned the safety of Li Tai and the others, as well as the Turkic spy. The fewer people who knew, the better. Dugu Feiying had told him to keep this a secret. In addition, the Wang Clan's ability to find people in Taiyuan City was far superior to the Provincial Governor's Office. There was no need for the guards of the provincial capital to get involved in this matter!
Although Wang Yu's letter was abnormally simple, Wang Liaoyuan could tell from the few words that there was something unusual about this matter. As for what exactly was unusual, he could not guess.
"This Taiyuan City will probably be in chaos soon!"
Wang Liaoyuan stood with his hands behind his back and sighed.
