Chapter 1014: Chapter 377: The Princess’s Surprise! Empress Baby Misses You So Much!

?

Chen Mo listened in confusion, just about to ask, but was interrupted by Xu You, who said:

"After the black-clad figure left Li Mansion, I followed him all the way to the inner city and found he was secretly meeting with the Maritime Trade Bureau’s Cao Shi, Tang Xingbang."

"Lady Hua wanted to use those Barbarian Slaves as leverage to let the government office spare Ming Yuchun, not realizing Ming Yuchun was a tool arranged by Tang Xingbang to control her."

"The entire Barbarian Slave trade chain is already quite mature, and Bailu City is just a link in it, with identities both upstream and downstream extremely mysterious."

"It seems that the batch of Barbarian Slaves Chu Heng raised was also brought into the Capital City through Tang Xingbang’s hands." Chen Mo frowned, pondering quietly, "A mere Maritime Trade Bureau couldn’t possibly have such influence; there must be others directing behind the scenes..."

To unravel the whole logic, we must first understand the other party’s intentions.

If it’s purely for profit, evidently there’s no need to take such risks.

Initially, Chu Heng raised Barbarian Slaves to corrode the court ministers in this way, recording images to coerce them into working for him.

According to the information collected by Xu You, Lady Hua’s merchant ship had stopped for a period, coinciding with the outbreak of the "Barbarian Slave Case" in the Capital City. Now that the storm has passed, it started again...

But Chu Heng is dead, who is the new buyer?

"Surely there are interests entangled with the court; presumably, the status is not low..."

"And what’s different is, this time the Gu God Sect is also involved."

Thinking of the previously eradicated stronghold in Tiannan State, where a large number of Heart Devouring Poisonous Insects were found.

Recalling Lady Hua’s talk of "herbs" and "processing," a bold conjecture surfaced in Chen Mo’s mind.

Could it be...

If true, then the problem is indeed significant!

"To investigate this matter properly, we must start with Lord Tang, and the location of the Gu God Sect has also been identified; it’s time to prepare to close the net."

Chen Mo turned to Xu You and asked, "Lu Shuyuan said all the government officials have gone out of the city, saying it was to welcome some noble guest. You were also in the inner city. Do you know what happened?"

"Well..."

Xu You showed a bit of hesitation.

Although she didn’t want Chen Mo to meet the Empress, this matter couldn’t be hidden.

"Jiang Yuchan is not afraid, what am I afraid of?"

"Since it’s said to be ’fair competition,’ then it’s up to one’s ability. I refuse to engage in underhanded tactics..."

Thinking thus, Xu You candidly said, "I went out of the city for a look. It seems the Princess has arrived."

?!

Chen Mo paused at the words.

Chu Yanli?

Why did she come to Bailu City?!

...

...

Inner city.

The inner courtyard of the government office had been cleared in advance to accommodate the Princess and her entourage.

Other officials left after paying their respects, only Prefect Jiao Yu, Deputy Magistrate Kuang Yinghao, Assistant Judge Ge Jun, and a few local high officials stayed by her side.
