"Is there a problem with this ship?" Elder Tapani of the association asked directly.
This ship belonged to an official ship of the Yeko Kingdom; it could be stopped and inspected.
Now that people had been killed, things were different.
Without a convincing reason,
it might become a pretext for the Yeko Kingdom's retaliation.
"There is a problem," Wu Heng said.
Elder Tapani pressed, "What problem?"
The headquarters staff all looked over.
Wu Heng stated calmly, "We'll know once we finish searching the ship."
During the conversation, the people checking the ship also came up.
One of them saluted and said, "Elders, lords, there are a large number of women and children detained in the hold, preliminarily identified as people from nearby villages who have been captured, but it is unclear where they were being transported to."
The deck fell silent in an instant.
They glanced at Wu Heng with surprise in their eyes.
There really was a problem.
