"Well, Brother Cao, be careful." Xiao He nodded.
The two men had already discussed it on the way here. Xiao He would be the imperial envoy, and Cao Shen would secretly visit the local area to see if the situation was different from what the officials had submitted, and whether there were any problems with the officials.
"I saved it." Cao Shen nodded with a smile. He also wanted to see if the situation here had changed after he left.
