So, if Xu Yin is from Dayue, how did he develop ties to Tanzhou?
"That house servant is also quite peculiar," said Jiang Lin. "Xu Yin sent Zhou Yi to Tanzhou with people they all trusted. If they were trusted, why did they jump in to rescue Jiang Lin and the others?
"They came back too early; they should have continued digging!"
Fu Zhen turned his head to look at him: "They left some people there."
"That's more like it!"
Liang Zhi was eager to get involved.
But Fu Zhen's thoughts had drifted away: "I originally thought the Xu family's ancestral home in Tanzhou was merely vacant, but didn't expect it to serve such a significant purpose in secret.
"From this, it seems Xu Yin's covert actions over the years have been quite extensive. What is the purpose of all this?"
It cannot possibly be as simple as aiming for a high-ranking official position.
