The call from the Nearby Worm was inexplicably strange.
Li Ang, citing the need to maintain public order within the city, instructed the members of the Supervision Department to remain vigilant. He himself secretly dispatched an Ink Silk Clone to keep watch overnight at Yuan'an Square and the surrounding workshops, paying close attention to the large willow tree mentioned in the call.
At Chenzheng hour, a beggar dressed in tattered clothes, carrying a roasted pancake wrapped in oil paper in one hand and clutching a square package in the other, staggered to the base of the large willow tree and casually threw the package into the hollow of the tree.
...Was it delivered by an ordinary person?
From the Governor Mansion, Li Ang frowned slightly. He ordered the human-formed Ink Silk Clone to go out, stop the beggar, and offer him fifty cents to ask who had instructed him to do so.
The answer did not surprise Li Ang.
