"My lord, I was worried the Second Prince would blame us for inadequate care, so I sent Jiang Feng to the black market to have a look. Who would have thought..."
Cao Zhengyang was immensely troubled; who would have expected to be thwarted by Jiang Feng?
"Who would have thought what? Speak!"
Han Dong pressed on.
Cao Zhengyang's mind raced, realizing it was too late to blame everything on Jiang Feng, so he said, "I didn't expect Wang Qisheng would send Jiang Feng to threaten the black market with his Identity Token and a note to obtain the 'Five Poison Grass'. I was just mad at Jiang Feng for being used as a pawn by Wang Qisheng, causing us all such trouble."
"My lord, I was following your orders..."
Jiang Feng whispered.
"Silence!"
The words escaped through Cao Zhengyang's clenched teeth.
"What was written on the note?"
Han Dong asked.
