The next day, Lin Yi woke up comfortably again to find that Gu Fang had already returned from the morning court, bringing with him a subordinate named Tan Longtao, whom he described as the person he intended to put in charge of the gunpowder workshop.
Lin Yi smiled and agreed, then casually asked Gu Fang if he wanted to rest a while before heading to the southern city to confront Zhao Li. Gu Fang shook his head, had breakfast with her, and then they went together to the main hall to inspect the sixteen fully armed guards.
The guards stood in neat rows, full of energy. Lin Yi wasted no time and briefly explained that they suspected someone had killed the owner of a small workshop under the General's Mansion and then impersonated the new owner to collect subsidies from the mansion. She said the other side had seven people, and they were going to probe their background. If they confirmed that the suspects had indeed killed the original owner and impersonated the new one, they would arrest these vicious criminals and send them to prison.
As soon as she finished speaking, the sixteen guards were filled with righteous indignation, each itching to teach those lawless scoundrels a lesson. Soon, the group set off imposingly toward the small weaving workshop in the southern city.
When they arrived outside the workshop, Lin Yi signaled everyone to hold their positions and leave the performance space to Gu Fang, instructing the bodyguards to step in if something went wrong.
Gu Fang raised his eyebrows repeatedly, his eyes clearly saying, "Xiaoyi still doesn't trust me?"
