Sanggana Swordsman
87. The Iron Dragon Bureau
*Holy Blood Ring*
Bu Ruong had to hide his surprise, because in the banquet room there were a number of officials he knew, some of whom were ministers, especially the Minister of Justice Tu Hua as the host. He stopped and made the soldiers behind him stop as well.
The sound of crowded footsteps on the floor of the board made the people who were eating and drinking in the banquet hall so look towards the arrival of Bu Ruong and his soldiers.
Minister Tu Hua, a tall thin man with a rather long beard who was wearing fine blue clothes, immediately stood up.
“What did Commander Ruong come to bring troops to the inauguration party of my daughter's bureau?” tu Hua asked with a serious look.
“Sincerely, Mr Minister Tu!” said the Commander of the Middle Red Dragon while respecting. He then saluted the ministers and other officials who each faced his desk enjoying a banquet while watching a dance accompanied by music.
The officials just nodded.
"We have to carefully inspect all the places in this block in order to find the person who attacked Her Highness Princess Kai, my Lord," Bu Ruong told Minister Tu Hua.
"Good, do your job right!" puji Tu Hua's. "I hope you and your men don't do badly to these guests. Surely you know who my great guests are."
"Alright, Mr. Minister," said Bu Ruong, saluting again with his hands clenched in front of his chest.
Tu Hua then turned around and said to his guests with a small laugh, "Please my noble guests, the soldier is just doing his duty. Ignore it, don't be disturbed. Come, come, continue our party. Ahaha!"
The guests of the dozens of dignitaries and nobles laughed as well.
“Are you going to check on those ministers, Commander?” tanya Xie Yua half whispered to Bu Ruong
"Let us examine all the workers and servants who work in this bureau. I'm sure, of course Miss Tu will know if any foreigners enter sneak in here," Bu Ruong said.
"Alright," said Xie Yua smiling. He then said to his bodyguard who was standing not far from him, "Wulyong, have all the servants and guards in this bureau march outside. Get me a list of workers on my desk!"
"Well, Miss!" said the guard obediently then immediately moved.
While waiting, Bu Ruong tried to recognize all the guests present at the Iron Dragon Bureau's inauguration banquet.
“Nona Tu, if you don't mind, I don't know that yellow-clothed youth,” said Bu Ruong as he looked at one of the guests in the bureau.
For a moment Xie Yua looked towards Bu Ruong's gaze. The guest that Bu Ruong was referring to was a thin-moustached handsome young man dressed in fine yellow. His yellow headband also has a gold decoration on his forehead point. He was so concerned to watch the dancers while holding a small cup on the table containing wine.
“Name, Nobility Sushan. Young Entrepreneur from Lor We Country. The Iron Dragon Bureau allied with the Sushan Nobles to facilitate shipping to the Land of Lor We and Moh. He has extensive networks in several countries. He is an important ally of the Iron Dragon Bureau,” replied Xie Yua quite fully.
Not long after, the bureau bodyguard named Wulyong who was assigned by Xie Yua came back with a book.
“This is a list of his workers, Miss,”, said Wulyong while thrusting the book in his hand to Xie Yua. “All workers and bodyguards have gathered outside, Miss.”
“Please check,” Xie Yua said as she handed the book in her hand to Bu Ruong.
After receiving the book, Bu Ruong turned around to check on the workers and bodyguards working in the Iron Dragon Bureau.
“So what Commander Ruong did not check were the officials as well as dancers and guzheng players,” said Xie Yua.
“We will check after their dance stops,” said Bu Ruong who was actually dissatisfied because he could not freely check all the people in the bureau.
“If warrior Ruong is still not convinced, order some soldiers to check every room in this bureau,” said Xie Yua, as if understanding the contents of the soldier's heart.
“Sorry to make Miss Tu uncomfortable at this happy event,” said Bu Ruong while saluting with two hands fused in front of her chest and head slightly bowed.
Bu Ruong then pointed at a number of his men.
“The six of you, check all the rooms in this bureau politely!” his orders.
“Ready, Commander!” answer those soldiers.
“Wulyong, guide them!” xie Yua's orders to his servant.
“Good, Miss.”
Wulyong immediately showed the sixth street the soldier assigned to inspect every room in the place, except the banquet room.
Outside, Bu Ruong ascertained the identities of all the bodyguards and workers in the Iron Dragon Bureau who reached fifty people. All of them have a clear identity and are recognized by the Ministry of Capital.
Everyone who exists or enters the Capital He must have an identification sign in the form of a small board that has the stamp of Capital He and on the board there is the name of the owner of the sign. Cap boards between the native citizens of the Capital City with immigrants or not different settlers, but equally recognized legitimate existence.
The result of the inspection of the troops brought by Commander Bu Ruong was clean. The six warriors who inspected the room inside were without any results. Clean. The dancers and music players also checked their identities, they are also artists registered with the Ministry of Capital.
Finally Bu Ruong gave up. He concluded that the Iron Dragon Bureau was clean of intruders.
“I'm sorry we have interrupted a big event, Miss Tu,” said Bu Ruong while respecting a sign of apology.
“No need to think about it, Commander Ruong,” Xie Yua said with a smile.
Commander Bu Ruong then invited his entire army to go and release the Iron Dragon Bureau.
Finally he decided to take off the criminals they were after. The lockdown to the block was lifted, especially in the lockdown there are high officials are gathering. It could be that the conditions are getting more complicated if the officials gathered in the Bureau dispute the lockdown that Bu Ruong applied.
Bu Ruong preferred to extract information from the criminals they had captured and was now on his way to the torture chamber for interrogation.
As far as Bu Ruong and his troops were concerned, a handsome young man dressed in yellow approached Xie Yua. The young man was none other than the Noble Sushan whom Bu Ruong had asked.
“What did that soldier get?” ask Sushan.
“No,” replied Xie Yua coldly. Then in a repressed tone containing anger he said, “Your men are endangering us!”
They then walked into the bureau.
“I think the person you have has good abilities so dare to ambush Princess Kai blatantly,” said Xie Yua.
“My estimate is still not far off. I didn't expect him to be any better than I imagined,” Sushan said.
They did not go to the crowded banquet room at a time when the Capital City was in an uproar by the open attack of dozens of people dressed in black against the number two person in Jang Land. They keep going inside.
“You better not count and think stingy, because Princess Kai is more dangerous than Emperor Tsaw. I'm the best friend of Princess Kai, and I know how powerful her powers are even if she's a girl. If you only go after Princess Kai, then the use of violence will be futile and detrimental. He could only be defeated in a subtle and cunning manner. However, if you want to destroy Jang Kingdom, I suggest you destroy its territory from the edge and by means of political power,” said Xie Yua.
“I will consider carefully,” said Sushan with a small smile.
Finally they entered a room containing a row of shelves. On the shelf were paper books and bamboo slats that were assembled as books.the books were neatly arranged and had a label.
There was no one in the room. The archive room was not spared also from the examination of the soldiers. They continued walking in as if they knew their purpose. Until they arrived on the inner side near the sturdy wooden wall. On the other hand it is less light so the condition is quite dark.
Jregs!
Xie Yua pushed a candle holder attached to the wall. The candle was not lit, even though the night had come. Along with that push, there was a side wall as wide as a door that moved inward as far as one inch.
Xie Yua then pushed the wall that jutted in. With the lightness of the door-shaped wall was pushed more inward, causing a gap that could be entered by the woman's body. The Sushan nobleman caught Xie Yua coming in and closed the wall back from the inside so that it was tight like there was no door.
Behind the wall, there was a room that was not so spacious, illuminated by candlelight on several sides.
A narrow-eyed man dressed in blue black immediately knelt down to Sushan's arrival.
Tubs!
Suddenly Sushan kicked the man in the chest until he fell backward.
“Ampuni me, Mister!” exclaimed the man while quickly getting up and prostrating.
“How reckless you came to escape to this place!” snapped Sushan angry. “Mati is better than you come here. What if that soldier finds you, huh?!”
“I'm sorry, Mister, Miss!” said the man while sleepily tapping his eel onto the sturdy plank floor.
“What do you want to say before I kill you?!” snapped Sushan.
“Looks like all that's left is me, Sir,” reports the man.
“Why don't you die so that your group is finished?!” snapped Sushan.
“No, all are not dead,” said Xie Yua. “I strongly suspect there is a caught from you remaining. Commander Bu Ruong did not choose to linger, but he chose to go home immediately with his troops.”
“People aren't becus!” friday Sushan. Then he said to the man, “Rather than you I kill, you better take my message. Remember, it's better to die if caught.”
“Good, Mr.” (BH)
