Ma Lang asked in confusion, "Lord Gu, what is the purpose of this move?"
Gu Zhan replied in a low voice, "Do you really think Luo Bingsheng suddenly leaving the city is truly to capture some notorious bandit?"
Ma Lang exclaimed in surprise, "You mean there's a trick to this?"
Gu Zhan snorted coldly, and said, "That Luo Bingsheng is already in his sixties or seventies, and he hasn't acted personally in nearly a decade. Now, all of a sudden, he becomes so active—and it just so happens at this critical moment when our Hundred Households Office and the Thousand Households Office are at odds? I don't buy such coincidence."
Ma Lang cried out, "Could it be… he intends to harm Hundred Households Gu?"
