"What about Minister Chu's injury?"
"Replying to the Emperor, Lord Chu's injury is not serious. He has informed the Emperor to be vigilant and thoroughly investigate the incident with the food supplies, as it was intended to confuse those who attacked him among the grain convoy."
"In a few days, news of the grain reaching the Northern Region should arrive."
Emperor Xuanming was thoroughly pleased, yet, considering the trickery involved, his face carried the inherent majesty of an Emperor that commanded respect without anger.
"Were all the people in the grain convoy dealt with?"
"Lord Chu assigned the task to me, and I have already brought the people back." As an Attendant guard, Xiao Tianhao's methods were naturally incomparable to ordinary people.
"Issue an imperial decree for imprisonment, and you personally interrogate,"
Xiao Tianhao received the order and left. As soon as he had left, Emperor Xuanming in the Imperial Study received news that Duke Zheng had come to see him.
