Chapter 902 No wonder

After thinking for a moment, the War King voiced his concerns.

Tang Wan felt that the War King was overthinking things. After all, if someone were to be arrested and interrogated, it would definitely be done in a special place or the royal palace, and ordinary people would not be able to see her.

However, with so many people talking, it's always good to be a little careful.

So Tang Wan thought for a moment and said, "How about I draw the talisman and you can use it yourself? Just pat it on the shoulder or back when no one is looking, and then you can start asking whatever you want."

This Truth Talisman was used by Boss Wan himself before, and it worked perfectly. I imagine it will work for the War King as well.

Going there alone is the safest option. Firstly, you can quietly place the talisman in the right spot. Secondly, it prevents you from encountering a skilled opponent who might evade it or cause other accidents.

However, upon closer inspection, the one she discovered didn't seem to be a fellow practitioner; he was probably only slightly related to the evil magic of black witches and shouldn't be able to break her truth spell.

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, the War King hesitated for a moment before asking, "Is it enough to just pat it on the shoulder or back?"

Tang Wan replied affirmatively, "Yes, as long as we can take pictures of these two places when no one is looking, we have to do it when no one is looking."

Tang Wan emphasized it again.

Hearing her say that, the War King felt more confident and said, "Then I'll trouble Wan'er to draw a truth-telling talisman. I'll send someone to fetch the peace talisman and truth-telling talisman you have in a little while."

Tang Wan readily agreed without any problem.

Regardless of the type of talisman, she wouldn't be too slow. Before the War King sent people to collect it, she could draw a few more peace talismans in addition to the truth talisman.

Thinking of this, Tang Wan said, "Then let's do it this way. I'll go draw some talismans first."

The War King was originally asking about talismans when he rang the bell. Since Tang Wan had drawn more than two hundred more, he decided to take them and use them. So the two of them cut off their communication.

The War King hung up the bell and immediately called out, "War One."

Zhan Yi entered in response, cupping his fists and saying, "Your Highness."

The War King spoke calmly: "Two things. First, send someone to the gatehouse of the Tang residence to retrieve the talismans. Miss Tang has prepared another batch; go and get them. Second, we need to arrest someone at the Tang residence tonight; arrange for men to go and investigate first."

The War King then recounted Tang Wan's description of the servant's living quarters, appearance, and characteristics. He continued, "That man lives alone in the easternmost room of the back building. Send someone to survey the area around the Tang residence to find the least conspicuous route to enter and the least conspicuous route to exit after capture. Also, investigate his activity patterns: what time he is in the room, what time he comes out, and whether he has a fixed destination."

Zhan Yi listened attentively and took notes.

"Be discreet when you arrest people, and don't alert anyone else in the manor," said the War King. "Send someone to give Lord Tang a heads-up, but tell him to keep it a secret and not let anyone else in the manor know. You should also try to be discreet when you carry out your operation, and avoid detection if possible."

"Yes." Zhan Yi accepted the order, then asked, "Your Highness, should we interrogate that person tonight, or..."

"Interrogate them tonight," said the War King. "Bring them back and interrogate them overnight, lest things get complicated."

Zhan Yi nodded and turned to leave, but was stopped by Zhan Wang.

"Tell the person who went to the Tang residence to retrieve the talisman to hurry up," said the War King. "Once the talisman is back, put it in the study; we'll need it for interrogating people tonight."

"Understood."

After Zhan Yi left, the study became quiet.

The War King leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Although we don't know how much information the spy at the Tang residence can extract, even just one clue would be worthwhile.

Tang Wan, on the other hand, immediately spread out the talisman paper, ground the cinnabar, and began to draw the truth talisman that the War King wanted after the bell was hung up.

The Truth Talisman is more complicated to draw and requires more effort than the Peace Talisman.

But none of that matters; it's no big deal for her.

Tang Wan originally planned to draw one, but ended up drawing five in one go. After finishing the truth-telling talisman, Tang Wan didn't even rest and continued to draw peace talismans.

Draw as many as you can; every extra drawing provides extra security.

Moreover, she is currently drawing talismans in space, which is much faster and more efficient than outside.

These past two days, I have told my mother, Wang, that she is busy drawing talismans and usually stays in her own courtyard. She only has dinner with her father when he returns home for the evening.

Tang Wan drew ten more peace talismans, but seeing the time, she stopped drawing, fearing she wouldn't have enough time.

I counted them, and including the ones I drew this morning, I have a total of 220 drawings.

Although it's not much, it can still be of some use.

She packed the peace charm and the truth charm separately and left the space.

As soon as she left the space, Tang Wan put the box on the table. Just as she was about to call out to Zhu Xi, she suddenly remembered that Zhu Xi had been sent by her to oversee the shop's renovation and had left early in the morning. She was not in the mansion at the moment.

She was wondering who to call when there was a soft knock at the door.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Tang Wan caused the talisman that had been pasted on the door frame to disappear.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Wan softly said, "Go in."

Er Ya came in from outside.

Er Ya was sent by her to scout out what was happening in Shuntian Prefecture, and it seems she has finished her scouting.

Tang Wan smiled slightly when she saw Er Ya.

Er Ya stepped forward, bowed, and whispered to Tang Wan the results of her investigation in Shuntian Prefecture.

Tang Wan nodded slightly and said, "Er Ya, we can think about these things later. You've come at the right time. Go find a maid and take the box on the table to the gatehouse. The people from the Prince of Zhan's mansion will come back to get it in a little while."

Er Ya asked, somewhat puzzled, "Miss, let me deliver it. I'm faster."

Tang Wan shook her head and said, "The box is full of talismans, it's not appropriate for you to give it to them."

Although Er Ya's magical power has greatly increased and ordinary talismans can no longer harm her, it's still best for her to avoid touching my talismans.

Er Ya understood immediately upon hearing her master's words. She wondered why she felt a little oppressed when she entered her mistress's room today. It turned out there were talismans in the box, which explained it all.

So Er Ya didn't say anything more, just said okay and turned to go out to find someone.

Before long, Er Ya led in a young maid who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old.

The maid's name was Qing'er. She had only been assigned to Tang Wan's courtyard a few days ago. She was pretty and seemed quite clever.

"Qing'er, take this to the gatekeeper." Tang Wan handed her the box containing the talismans. "Tell the gatekeeper that when someone comes to pick it up, just give it to them. No need to say anything else."

Qing'er took the box, responded, and turned to leave.

Er Ya followed her out and soon returned with a pot of hot tea.

"Miss, please have some tea and rest." Er Ya felt sorry for her mistress.

Tang Wan didn't say anything, but picked up the tea that Er Ya had just poured and took a small sip.

Actually, she wasn't that thirsty; she had drunk some spiritual spring water in the space before coming out.
