Chapter 458_1

The servant sent by Master Wei knew that returning without any information was unacceptable. At the moment, they were inquiring along the way about the whereabouts of Zhang Qiusheng's family, causing the delay. They had considered sending someone back first with news, but no one wanted to take on that task. Having served under Master Wei for some time, they knew all too well about his ruthlessness and tactics. Going back like that, even if just to deliver a message, would at the very least result in twenty lashings. Not to mention, if Master Wei was in a bad mood, nobody would want to return to face that. So they decided it was better to come back with some clues to show for their efforts, at least that way they had something to report.
