If it had only been Liu Taofang, or a gathering of young masters from Shu State's other great Noble Families, Chen Yi might not have given it a second thought.
But the presence of both Liu Taofang and Mr. Lingchuan forced him to be cautious.
After all, the family backgrounds of these two were anything but simple.
Liu Taofang was the son of Liu Hong, the Left Governor of Shu State, and Zhu Lingchuan was the younger brother of Zhu Hao, the Deputy Commander of the Shu State Capital Commandery.
Furthermore, Liu Hong controlled Shu State's finances and taxes, while Zhu Hao managed its salt and iron industries. It could be said they held immense power and wanted for nothing.
If one also included certain individuals from the Inspectorate Office, it meant that behind these men stood the three most powerful commissions in all of Shu State.
How could Chen Yi not grow suspicious when a group like that gathered to discuss matters related to "corn"?
