Magistrate Ho glanced at the rice merchants who were calling for a nomination of a new head of the rice merchants.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead and he tried to think of something.
Amidst the shouting, he recalled that the Qing Feng Sect was having some struggles with the Six Pulse Sword Sect.
And their proxy in this struggle was Sima Ye and Ruo Zhi.
If Sima Ye were coming for his life, then maybe Ruo Zhi would be able to help him.
Magistrate Ho stood up and shouted at the rice merchants, "Silence! I've got an idea."
He successfully got the attention of the rice merchants.
They shut up and glanced at him.
"I hope it's not something stupid like sending someone to kill that Lin Xuan Qi."
"Yeah, it better not implicate us and get the Sima Family on our backs."
"Come on, we don't have all day, the price of the rice might drop any moment."
The mention of the price of the rice made them anxious and they demanded that Magistrate Ho brief them on his idea.
