The young Hu person trembled slightly and did not dare to say anything else.
The man asked again:
"Speak, what exactly did you see?"
The youth shivered, fear evident in his emerald eyes, his forehead drooping slightly, hoarsely responding: "Reporting to my master, this subordinate has discovered that the... the people from the Ministry of Punishment have come to assassinate..."
The master's movements paused slightly and he remarked in surprise:
"So quickly..."
Then as if he understood, he laughed, saying:
"Ah, so they were putting on a show for us earlier. It seems that capture officer is also a cold-hearted type who trusts no one, not having investigated a single clue..."
The burly old man, who had been silently sitting and drinking tea, spoke:
"Young Master... Wuxin from the Ministry of Punishment is no ordinary person."
