Schemes of the Noble Households Chapter 113

It was almost evening when the convoy arrived outside Xuyi City.

There were still dark clouds in the sky and the air was humid, but it hadn't rained yet.

The city gates were about to be closed, and the county soldiers guarding the city strictly checked the passers-by, and all bamboo baskets and cloth bags had to be opened for inspection. Occasionally, civilians would leave the city carrying groceries, but it was rare to see merchants and pedestrians coming into the city.

Adrian Huan felt strange because this had not happened the last time he passed by. He sent someone to inquire and found out that a few days ago a group of thieves disguised themselves as merchants, evaded the inspection of the city gate guards, entered the south city and committed a serious crime.

Not only did he steal and rob, but he also caused loss of life.
