Chapter 1416 - 1416 689 Your Time Is Up (Second Update)
?Chapter 1416: 689 Your Time Is Up! (Second Update) Chapter 1416: 689 Your Time Is Up! (Second Update) Nangong Li returned to the mansion and immediately summoned his trusted guard to inquire about the progress of the investigation.
The guard hesitated and said, “General, there are so many places to investigate, and only one day has passed… Even if we go to the Ministry of Household Registration to check the records publicly, it would still take several days, wouldn’t it?”
Indeed, this was the truth. Investigating someone’s background is not a simple task.
Although the local household registration is kept separate from that of foreigners, the problem was there were quite a number of foreigners too. Besides, the Ministry wouldn’t really hand over the foreign registration records for them to investigate.
Actually, anyone who had seen the Cuju matches wouldn’t find the name Xiao Liulang unfamiliar. However, it was like they were separated by mountains; since Nangong Li did not pay attention to Cuju, he had never heard about Xiao Liulang, who, with his own strength, had changed the style of three Cuju matches in Zhan Country.
Nangong Li was not unsympathetic to the difficulties of his subordinates, but he had his own troubles.
The assassination of Xiao Liulang was a matter not even disclosed to the Han Family by the Crown Prince. He had entrusted Nangong Li with a crucial task, yet he had botched it in Zhan Country and let the target escape under the monarch’s nose.
If the monarch found out about this, they would all be done for!
Frowning, Nangong Li said, “Circumstances are unforgiving. I don’t care what methods you use; you must find Xiao Liulang for me within three days!”
The guard felt bitter inside; not to mention three days, even thirty might not suffice.
With so many people in Shengdu, finding Xiao Liulang was like searching for a needle in the ocean.
The guard sighed, “It would be great if we had our own people in the Ministry of Household Registration.”
The Minister of Household Registration was from the Wang Family, which had not much interaction with the Nangong Family. The Wangs were truly a prospering clan for over a hundred years, with even more influence than the Han Family, ranking them first.
Had it not been for the fact that the respected concubine from the Wang Family couldn’t produce a son, it was uncertain who would have taken the seat of the crown prince initially.
As for secretly infiltrating the Ministry of Household Registration to check the records, it was also difficult. Both the Nangong Family and the Wang Family had their experts, and an attempt at espionage might alarm the enemy, resulting in a loss greater than any potential gain.
Nangong Li’s brow furrowed further, “Stop wasting time with excuses, and just go find the person!”
“Yes!”
