Seeing this, Liu Yan looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, you go ahead and get busy!"
"Your subordinate takes his leave!"
Jia Xu bowed to Liu Yan and walked out with a normal expression.
"Master, they have sent a letter!"
After Jia Xu left, the servant took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yan.
Liu Yan took the letter, confirmed it was correct, opened it and glanced through it, then looked at the servant.
"Okay! I understand. Send someone to tell them that I will arrange for the items to be delivered to them as soon as possible, and tell them not to give themselves away!"
"promise!"
After the servants left, Liu Yan went to the study, took out a brazier, lit the letter, and waited until it was completely burned before turning to leave.
Unbeknownst to Liu Yan, a pair of eyes had already witnessed his every move through the crack in the window.
That night, Jia Xu was sitting alone in his room, resting with his eyes closed, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Jia Xu opened his eyes and looked at the person who had come in; it was a servant from the governor's mansion.
The man bowed to Jia Xu and said, "Your subordinate greets your superior!"
"Any discoveries?"
"Prefect Liu was very careful; he didn't let anyone touch the letter! Your subordinates didn't get anything of value!"
"Yes, keep a close eye on things when you get back. They'll slip up eventually!"
"promise!"
After the servants of the governor's mansion left, Jia Xu got up and left. Under the cover of night, he quietly went to Zhao Zhong's residence.
"My name is Jia Xu, and I greet Attendant Zhao!"
Zhao Zhong smiled politely, "Wenhe, there's no need for such formalities. Before I came, His Majesty instructed that you would be in charge of everything here!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
Remembering Liu Hong's instructions, Zhao Zhong asked, "By the way, Wenhe, has that batch of 'salt' been prepared?"
Jia Xu smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Attendant Zhao, those Su family members were all arranged by me, and no one will notice!"
"That's good. Wenhe, make the arrangements to have the Su family give half of that batch of salt to the Zhen family!"
"good!"
Zhao Zhong lowered his voice, looked at Jia Xu, and quietly asked, "The Emperor sent me to ask you, have you discovered anything?"
Jia Xu shook his head: "In the past six months, I have found that Liu Yan is indeed as the emperor said, ambitious, but he is extremely cautious in his actions, and I have not yet discovered anything."
Then Jia Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly, "However, he has recently begun to give important positions to the Su family, so it won't be long before he makes some discoveries."
Zhao Zhong nodded. "That's good. After all, he still has the title of a member of the Han imperial family. We must have solid evidence."
“Of course!” Jia Xu agreed.
"Here you go~ This is a gift from Zhen Yu to our family, you can take it!"
Then Zhao Zhong took out the land deeds and house deeds that Zhen Yu had given him earlier from his sleeve and handed them to Jia Xu.
"good!!"
Jia Xu didn't stand on ceremony and took the land deeds and house deeds, putting them into his pocket. Having these things would be very helpful for his development in Ji Province.
