"Qin Wen, why aren't you angry?!"

"There's nothing to be angry about." Grand Minister of Agriculture Qin Wen looked completely unconcerned, even with a hint of a smile on his face. He gently patted Pei Yongjun on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go. If there's a reckoning later, just say it was me who arranged it."

"Grand Minister of Agriculture!" Pei Yongjun was anxious and hurried to explain, "How can I let you take the responsibility?!"

"Yes, this idea was proposed by everyone. There's no reason for you to be the only one to take the blame!" Xu Ning also echoed.

Qi Canglan and Qi Songbo were lost in thought after reading the letter. Qi Songbo wondered, "How did this old tutor know that the Minister of Agriculture had connections with the martial arts community?"

Xu Ning immediately thought of what the Grand Minister of Agriculture had told her. She suddenly turned to look at him and asked, "Old Qin, were the news of the treasure only known to those people in the martial arts world?"

Qin Wen nodded and said, "That's right, except for them, no one else knows."

"Could it be that someone heard the news from those people in the martial arts world and told the old tutor?" Qi Songbo guessed.

Qi Canglan frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's possible, but these people in the martial arts world are solitary and unlikely to tell others such important news. And even if they did, how would it reach the old master?"

Everyone fell silent, no one able to figure out what was going on. Suddenly, Qi Canglan clapped his hands and said, "I understand! Someone from the Jianghu must have taken refuge with the old master!"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at him.

Qi Canglan analyzed, "Although those people in the Jianghu are all solitary, they also have vested interests among themselves. If someone feels that the benefits they receive are not enough, or that they feel threatened, then they will most likely choose to sell the information to the old master in exchange for greater benefits."

"But..." Xu Ning disagreed, "Those people in the underworld have always hated officials the most!"

Qi Canglan pondered for a moment and said, "What if he has nowhere to go? In this case, if he is rescued by the old master's people, or if he is accidentally arrested by the government, he may be blackmailed or tortured. I think we can't sit and wait for death now, we must take the initiative. First, we need to find out who that person is and then find a way to get rid of him. Secondly, we must also be prepared to deal with the old master and not let him get hold of any evidence against us. Finally, we'd better throw the dirty water back!"
