It's difficult to find experienced river workers and canal carriers these days, and it's still very challenging for me to do it all by myself."
Qin Zhaoyue remained noncommittal. "So?"
"So... I think we can go directly to them. Both the county magistrate and Qi Zhenyuan have weaknesses, so we should be able to keep them in check for the time being."
Qin Zhaoyue was taken aback. Was it really that simple and brutal?
"Aren't you afraid that if the information is leaked, the forces behind it will resort to desperate measures? Didn't they say it might affect the war in the North?"

"Thank you, but no need."

The handsome older man pondered, realizing he had chosen the wrong path.
However, his keen senses honed over years of intelligence work quickly led him to notice something amiss, and he tentatively began to speak:
"A large number of privately cast ironwares have disappeared without a trace. The person behind them has grand ambitions and may even be plotting to destabilize the current dynasty."
