Andre had just gotten someone to make a pot of tea. When he heard that Prince Rong had returned, he was overjoyed. Although this Prince was brilliant at fighting wars, he didn't know how to do business. Regarding a precious item like a cannon, negotiations might take more than three to four months. Andre had merely revealed that he would set off soon, and Qi Haoran hurriedly agreed to the price. Even when he proposed a deposit of 20,000 taels, he agreed immediately. Upon being informed of his arrival, Andre wondered if Qi Haoran was here to deliver the deposit.
Andre said happily, "Invite him in."
To his surprise though, three people came in.
Seeing Fan Zijin, the tea cup in Andre's hand trembled. An ominous feeling rose in his heart. Smiling, he asked, "Why is Magistrate Fan here too?"
