Magistrate Hao also knew this was important, but: "These past few days the government office has been searching the city for Rong spies together with people from the Lei Family's Trading Team. We've already rooted out six households, about thirty people; there really shouldn't be any Rong spies left in the city. Why waste more manpower on searching?"
He pointed at the mass of Rong people outside the city, then at the pitifully few Great Chu soldiers on the city wall, and said, "We truly don't have the manpower. If we conduct another citywide search, we'll have to pull soldiers off the wall, and then there'll be even fewer to defend the city!"
Having said this, he looked to Lei Mao and said, "Manager Lei, this office knows your Lei Family's Trading Team has many people, and every one of them can fight. Have Old Madam Gao lend a hand, draw a batch of Lei Family's Trading Team men to search inside the city."
