Ever since Song Chongjin took his people for negotiations, the city's management became even more stringent than before.
Due to the previous suspicion of spies from the grasslands, Wang Yongzhu simply discussed with Master Jian, County Magistrate Quan Xiangsheng, and Magistrate Wan Jinliang and decided to increase the frequency of daily patrols. The entry and exit at the city gates also became stricter, especially for merchant caravans, which had to have their travel permits inspected, and goods checked randomly.
The officers at the city gates maintained their usual friendly demeanor, yet were thorough in their inspections, not missing anything they needed to check.
Although some people felt it troublesome, upon learning that spies had been discovered and thus strict inspections were necessary, no one complained.
Regarding the problem of spies, merchants from Great Chu naturally supported the measures greatly.
