The proprietor of Qinghe Castle was Zhao Jian. He was a senior figure in the Tarantula Chamber of Commerce.
When he stood on the wall and saw the soldiers outside, he became frightened. He rushed into the castle immediately and reported the news of the attack from the imperial court to Hua Minggong, who was recovering from an injury.
Hua Minggong had been injured by two silver gowned Elders from the School of the Martial Market five days ago, in a battle that had occured in the headquarters of the Black Market. He had just recovered.
