The night rain fell in a soft drizzle, accompanied by a cool, gentle breeze.
A freezing aura enveloped Qingjing Residence, faintly mixed with a sharp, murderous intent.
Xiao Jinghong looked at the paper in her hand, her eyes icy.
"Liu Hong, Zhu Hao—they truly have a death wish!"
According to the contents recorded on the paper, Liu Hong had recently done three things.
The first was sending assassins after Lin Huai'an of the Ji State Trading Company, severing his contact with Liu Hong's second son, Liu Taofang.
Lin Huai'an had also acted as a liaison between Zhu Hao, the Deputy Commander of the Shu State Capital Commandery, and King Landu of Poshisu Country to secretly sell ironware and ores.
In addition, Mr. Lingchuan of Guiyun Academy was also involved.
The second matter was Liu Hong colluding with Academic Administrator Ma Shuhan to secretly form factions for personal gain, winning over the large and small Noble Families of Shu State.
