The Chief Steward took one look at this person and knew he was here to cause trouble. If they were to capture him now, they would only confirm the accusation that the General's Mansion was abusing its power and kidnapping women. The Chief Steward quickly instructed someone to inform the Second Old Grand Master and An Zhichen about this.
The face of the An Family's Second Old Grand Master was very unsightly: "The imperial envoy was supposed to arrive in Haikou yesterday, yet he hasn't arrived today. Now there's a group of people causing a scene at the General's Mansion's gate. It's obvious they're targeting us." He had managed to stay in Haikou for over twenty years based on the Emperor's trust. But no matter how much the Emperor trusted him, he had to maintain his own reputation. If the imperial envoy confirmed the accusations of abusing power and kidnapping women, his position would be insecure. There were plenty of people eyeing that position, eager to rise up.
