The Human Emperor (1-200)

C56: The Final Day!

While Wang Chong was cooping up in the Wang Family Residence, another person in the capital was busy as well.

“How is it? Have you found anything yet?”

Deep in the Duke of Su Residence, Su Bai was currently lying on a golden weaved rattan chair, fiddling with a jade thumb ring, twirling it about his hands.

Behind him, two young and beautiful ladies were fanning him.

While cooped up in the Duke of Su Residence, Su Bai hasn’t been idle. Wang Chong’s matter had been lingering in his head all day long. The Yao Clan and King Qi had allied with one another, forming a powerful coalition. On top of that, the Yao Clan’s Old Master possessed exceptional means, making him an extremely powerful ally.

If Su Clan wanted to ride on the boat of Yao Clan and King Qi, they had to quickly make a stand.

As such, Wang Chong was an indication of loyalty from Su Bai to Yao Feng, as well as the indication of the Su Clan’s stand to the Yao Clan. As long as they managed to settle this matter properly, his relationship with Yao Feng will grow more closer.

As the future successor to the Su Clan, as long as he managed to achieve close ties with Yao Feng, how could the relationship with Su Clan and Yao Clan be poor?

As for the loss the Yao Clan had suffered awhile ago… Su Bai didn’t pay much heed to it, and he wasn’t sure what had gone on as well. To Su Bai and the Su Clan, as long as Yao Clan’s Old Master retained his position, such a matter meant nothing at all.

“Gongzi, we’ve been keeping an eye on Wang Clan. However, that fellow, Wang Chong, had been staying in his residence, rarely leaving it, after obtaining that sum of money. It’s difficult for us to obtain any concrete news on him.”

Just when he was contemplating over the matter, a voice suddenly sounded. Before Su Bai, a twenty-year-old lanky scout bowed and answered respectfully.

“Rarely leaving his residence?”

Hearing those words, a deep crease appeared on Su Bai’s forehead.

This was contrary to what he had expected. After a profligate scion like Wang Chong borrowed so much money, shouldn’t he spend his time playing around like a degenerate?

Cooping up in his residence, this was unlike him.

“Yes! We’ve looked into it, and in the past month, he’s only been out seven or eight times. There are several times that we followed him into the market, but due to the overwhelming amount of people, we lost sight of him. As for the other times, he was with Wei Hao.”

The lanky scout replied. There were many scouts like him in the Su Clan.

Until now, they still didn’t realize that he had been intentionally shaken off by Wang Chong. They thought that the market was simply too crowded, causing them to lose sight of their target!

“However, we did notice some movements from Wei Hao. The Bluebottle Pavilion under the Duke of Wei Residence is currently facilitating the sales of a sword, and they had initiated a sword duel gamble which has caused a commotion…”

Before the lanky scout could say anything, Su Bai interrupted him impatiently.

“I don’t care anything about Wei Hao or swords whatsoever. Don’t report this kind of meaningless things to me in the future. You just have to focus your attention on Wang Chong! It’s more than a thousand gold taels, I don’t believe that he would be keeping it to himself!!”

“Yes!”

The lanky scout hurriedly replied.

“Also, it has been almost a month already. Help me contact the gongzi from the other clans and three days later… No, seven days later, have them bring their debt note to the Wang Clan to ask for money! I want to make them embarrass themselves before the Wang Clan Old Master’s seventieth birthday!”
