Hearing the inquiry from the imperial commissioner, Prefect Liu Da immediately replied:
"My Lord Commissioner, my plan today is to divide our forces and act on two fronts simultaneously. One force will head to the Jin Family Stronghold to capture the fugitive Young Master Jin, while the other will conduct a thorough search of the entire city to bring Hero Wuming and Princess Qingyang to justice. What do you think of this arrangement, my lord?"
The imperial commissioner was thoroughly satisfied with the prefect's plan and chimed in without hesitation:
"Ah, Prefect Liu Da truly lives up to your reputation as an esteemed official of the court. I think this arrangement is simply splendid. Proceed with your plan at once!"
Having obtained the commissioner's approval, Prefect Liu Da immediately issued his commands:
"Captain Di Feng."
"This subordinate is here," Captain Di Feng replied, stepping out of the ranks to receive his orders.
"Take two thousand elite troops under your direct command straight to the Jin Family Stronghold, and make sure you capture the fugitive Young Master Jin and bring him to justice."
"This subordinate obeys," Captain Di Feng acknowledged, and returned to his original position.
