The Eastern Depot.
Cao Zhengchun looked at the three Depot Chiefs he valued most. "Today, we found traces of the massacred delegation from the Izumo Kingdom. The real envoy and Princess Lixiu were both murdered within Great Ming's borders. We owe the Izumo Kingdom an explanation."
"I wrested this case from the Divine Marquis. Which of you three will investigate?"
The Second-in-Command asked, "Director, where should we begin?"
Cao Zhengchun smiled faintly. "Lin Lang has already discovered that the Giant Whale Gang is involved."
Chief Head Iron Claw Flying Eagle's expression sharpened. "I recall Zhu Wushi saying that the Giant Whale Gang has always helped the court fight coastal pirates and protect the local people. Clearly, they belong to Dragon Guard Manor."
"This is an excellent chance to bring him down. I volunteer to investigate for you, Director. I will find proof of the Giant Whale Gang's rebellion and make sure Zhu Wushi cannot escape involvement either."
The Eastern Depot had actually traced things to the Giant Whale Gang already. He had to go, lest its secrets be exposed and harm the Divine Marquis's plans.
Cao Zhengchun laughed heartily. "Flying Eagle, you really do understand me."
"But this time, the evidence must be conclusive. Once you arrive, Lin Lang will contact you. Assist him in handling this matter."
Iron Claw Flying Eagle bowed, cupping his fist. "Yes."
Whenever the Eastern Depot and the Jinyiwei had worked together before, the Jinyiwei had always assisted the Eastern Depot, even doing all the dirty, exhausting work.
Yet this time, he, the Eastern Depot's Chief Head, was being told to assist Lin Lang. Clearly, Lin Lang carried more and more weight in Cao Zhengchun's mind.
Then this time, I'll make him stumble over the Giant Whale Gang affair-and even lose his life!
