"Everyone, calm down."
The Cao Gang disciple said with a bitter smile: "The one managing the tax supervisors in Linqing City is Ma Gonggong from the Capital. He has been with the Emperor since his childhood and wields considerable power, even the garrison must be under his orders. We truly cannot afford to offend him."
"So he's an eunuch from the Capital..."
Li Yan shook his head slightly, "Does this mean we've passed the test?"
"It's not that simple."
The Cao Gang disciple sighed, "Linqing Currency Pass is the foremost in the realm, where wealth and provisions converge. Everyone wants to take part. Various procedures follow one after another, and even though we, the Cao Gang, often manage things, it still takes an entire day."
"I have made arrangements. You all can enter the city and rest for a night. By tomorrow afternoon, hopefully, you can leave."
"That's good."
Li Yan nodded, without saying much.
