On the long street, everyone stared in disbelief as Gu Zhan flogged Mo Qinghuan. For a moment, no one dared to intervene; at the slightest movement, those wolfish Embroidered Uniform Guards would unsheath their blades and charge in.
Inside a tavern,
Patriarch Liu, Liu Qingming, smashed the teacup in his hand to the floor in rage, barking, "Who told that fool Mo Qinghuan to provoke Gu Zhan?"
The members of the Liu Family exchanged uneasy glances.
An elder spoke up, "Patriarch, according to our plan, it was the Government Army who should provoke Gu Zhan, and Mo Qinghuan was supposed to step in and mediate, inviting Gu Zhan and Mo Beiyan to the Law Enforcement Hall for a confrontation. That way, Mo Qinghuan could justifiably reclaim the title of Young Master and subsequently vie for power against Mo Beiyan. No one told him to provoke Gu Zhan directly, he… must have acted on his own."
"That idiot!"
Liu Qingming was so furious he was about to explode.
