He was still thinking about being promoted to Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, so he couldn't afford to let anything happen to the envoys from the Little Liang Kingdom!
Marquis Changxing rushed into the front hall, whereupon the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies anxiously grabbed him, saying, "The envoy from the Little Liang Kingdom is missing! I've searched all the places they like to frequent, east and west streets, but I can't find him anywhere..."
As she spoke, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial was almost in tears. She wanted to ask Chuanwen to take a look at her all-knowing artifact, but she didn't know how to bring it up.
Marquis Changxing saw that the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies was almost crying with a face full of guilt and embarrassment. He said, "I heard that a group of people dressed differently from those in our Great Jin Dynasty and with heavy accents from other places were arrested and taken to the government office for soliciting beggars.

Marquis Changxing was even more embarrassed. He briefly recounted the story of how his granddaughter, Chuanyu, was put in a sack and then rid the people of a menace. The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies was even more puzzled. That shouldn't be an envoy from the Little Liang Kingdom, right? How could an envoy kidnap someone in their capital?

Even the most obtuse of the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies could tell that the Marquis of Changxing must have heard something from Chuanwen. He was immediately horrified; they had actually imprisoned the envoy from the Little Liang Kingdom!
The Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial quickly bid farewell to the Marquis of Changxing and rushed to the government office. However, his mind raced on the way, and he had already come up with a plan.
Upon arriving at their destination, he would first question the envoy from the Little Liang Kingdom about why they had kidnapped a girl in their capital! He would make sure to clearly explain their crimes and the consequences, and that this was not the fault of the Great Jin, but rather the fault of their envoy's unethical actions! They would be made to feel ashamed and grateful for being released!
