Zuo Rong? The thug from the Cao Gang? Governor Ning's heart skipped a beat, recognizing the person.

After retching, He Xiaolou barely managed to cover his pale lips with a handkerchief and slowly shook his head: "I don't know this person... nor is he under the Cao Gang. I suppose... it's some bandits from the Martial World framing us..."

Zhao Douan replied with a leisurely "Oh," and said slowly, "Framing, is it? However, before this person died, he revealed the code and method of contacting the Cao Gang. I was curious and sent a message to you, Boss He, as per his method. Didn't you receive it?"

He Xiaolou's face turned even paler as he adamantly denied, "Lord, you misunderstand, I indeed received no such message."

"Is that so? Then why doesn't Boss He call upon your subordinate Zuo Rong to face him directly?"

"...Well, Zuo Rong went home to visit relatives a few days ago, he's not in Jianning Prefecture."
