"Don't make a move on them yet."
Li Yan took a sip of tea, a cold glint in his eyes, "The Salt Gang is relentless, this can't be resolved peacefully. Once we find out what they want, we'll hit them hard!"
...
Meanwhile, in the back hall of the county government.
"Master Liu, it's been a long time indeed."
Fengdu County Magistrate Guo Zhenshan was full of obsequiousness as he personally poured tea.
His target of flattery was Liu Qian, the Hundred Households Captain of the Captain Bureau.
Seeing Liu Qian silently sipping tea, County Magistrate Guo Zhenshan grew even more apprehensive and whispered, "Master Liu, could you reveal if this is the Salt Gang's idea, or the Prince Mansion's..."
"Master Guo, watch your words!"
Liu Qian gave a faint glance, "Whatever happens in Shu, remember, it has nothing to do with the Prince Mansion. A wrong word could cost your head."
"Yes, yes..."
As soon as County Magistrate Guo Zhenshan heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
