The guards rested overnight yesterday, and today they all seem to be in good spirits.
Everyone thought it was just a routine inquiry, and they appeared very relaxed.
Song Chongjin did not gather everyone to ask questions but instead interviewed them individually, asking in great detail, eager to know every move Wang Yongzhu made since leaving Chicheng County.
This approach made each guard more cautious, carefully recalling several times in their minds before daring to speak.
After inquiring with all the guards, Song Chongjin signaled them to leave. After they met up, the guards were completely puzzled.
What's going on? Didn't Madam return safely under their protection yesterday? Why does the official seem worried?
The guards, not daring to ask or say anything, exchanged glances and decided it was best to stay quiet for the next few days, especially since they have a few days of rest ahead. Better not go out and mess around.
