Mei Deng was led into one of the houses located at the heart of the settlement, where Nuan and her brother Bohai lived together, along with Mu Tan. It turned out, that their father, Jinhai was in truth the leader of the servants. However, he had gone with a good number of their fellow servants to the capital.
Sitting down, Bohai gestured his sister to leave, however the young woman proved difficult and held tightly onto his arm. Her brother glared harshly at Mei Deng, his killing intent seeping out.
"So, what do you want?" Bohai asked, flattening his brows, Mei Deng quietly peeled off Nuan's grip on his arm and faced her brother properly. Standing behind him were six men, all wielding their knives in an unfriendly manner.
"You're all servants of Minister Ma, then I must presume that all of you know about the needle marks. Am I right?" Mei Deng replied.
