Chapter: 2012
Ju Seokpung possessed a superior intellect compared to anyone he had ever met before.
While Pyo-wol�s encounters with Noh Tae-tae and Ju Seolpung were nothing more than coincidences, their reactions and resourcefulness moved him.
Pyo-wol decided to show them a bit of favor.
�The Hao clan�s chief inspector has gone missing.�
�The Hao clan?�
�Oh my!�
Noh Tae-tae and Ju Seolpung were stunned by the unexpected news.
As merchants, they knew the Hao clan�s influence better than anyone else, and as they run their merchant guild, they frequently utilized the services of the Hao clan.�
Although they now had some intelligence and information network of their own, in the early days, they had bought information from the Hao clan and used it to their advantage.
Therefore, they knew how great the Hao clan�s chief inspector was. The chief inspector of the Hao clan possessed power and authority surpassing that of most factions� leaders.
The fact that such a person disappeared was no small matter.
�Then there must be some kind of contact between the Heavenly Flower Variety Theater Troupe and the Hao clan�s chief inspector, and Master Pyo is trying to trace that connection.�
Pyo-wol�s words were few and far between, but Ju Seolpung was able to accurately deduce from them exactly what he wanted to know.
Once again, Pyo-wol became impressed.�
He had never encountered anyone with such exceptional intellect besides himself.
Ju Seolpung was the kind of person who would be quite troublesome to have as an enemy.
If they had met as enemies, Pyo-wol would have eliminated Ju Seolpung first.
Ju Seolpung said to Pyo-wol,
�I, together with the Imperial Yuan Merchant Group, will help you in tracking down the Heavenly Flower Variety Theater Troupe. Among the people who attended the birthday celebration of my great-grandmother, there must be those who had contact with the troupe. If we talk to them, we might obtain some small clues.�
�But wouldn�t they have scattered by now?�
�While it may be true elsewhere, it�s possible here in Poyang Lake and Jiangxi Province. I will inform you soon of any good news.�
�One more thing.�
�Yes?�
�I want you to investigate if there is a group of people, around ten or more, who had stayed in the inns around Poyang Lake recently.�
�Why?�
�The Poyang Lake branch of the Hao clan was burned to the ground a few days ago.�
�My goodness!�
Ju Seolpung�s eyes widened.
Although there had been a recent decline in their interactions, the fact that he had been completely unaware that the Hao clan�s branch had been annihilated, sent shivers down his spine.
�Their base is not even a place publicly known. It�s like a secret branch.� JrNovels.com
