Every move I make in Linjiang City is reported back to Chu Feng on the same day.
Chu Feng specifically mentioned the wild fruits, reminding Su Han that no matter where he is or what he does, he cannot hide anything from me. I am always watching you! Your only way out is to serve me faithfully!
Su Han was furious.
What was it like to have a spy arranged beside him? It felt as if he could pass gas and Chu Feng would know about it. Fine, Lin Yu, since you are unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust.
In an instant, several ideas flashed through Su Han's mind. Since he was going to take action, he would go all out. Not only would he bring Lin Yu down, but he would also stomp on him hard, ensuring that he would never rise again!
The money earned from this official trip was substantial, and several key figures had to be well taken care of. The Intelligence Department’s translation office and the heads of various departments would each receive a thousand taels of silver.
What a lucrative job this was!
Su Han’s actions naturally earned him much praise. This young man had a bright future ahead. In the future, if there were any good assignments, they should skip his department and send him directly.
At the General Affairs Department and the treasury office, Su Han gifted two thousand taels of silver each to the director and the person in charge, making Master Feng and Director Xu smile so wide that their faces crinkled with joy.
When presenting the expense accounts for the official trip, Director Xu didn’t even look at them before signing off with a flourish.
As Su Han prepared to take his leave, Director Xu insisted on keeping him for tea and carefully brought out some tribute tea gifted by a friend for Su Han to taste.
Director Xu was notoriously stingy at the Royal Confidential Office; getting to drink his tea was no easy feat. The problem was that this tea was worth two thousand taels of silver!
After chatting for over half an hour, just as Su Han was about to leave, Director Xu hurriedly said, “Wait a moment.”
He stood up, picked up the tea canister, found a piece of paper, and nervously poured some tea leaves onto it. Upon seeing the small amount, he gritted his teeth and added more, carefully wrapping it up as if it were a treasure before turning around.
“Xiao Su, this tribute tea is incredibly precious. I usually can't bear to drink it; only my closest friends get to taste it. You take this tea and make sure not to share it with anyone else—enjoy it slowly.”
“Oh dear, Director Xu, that’s too much of you,” he replied.
Director Xu continued to see him off at the door. As soon as Director Xu closed the office door, Su Han let out a cold laugh. Two thousand taels of silver for tea leaves? He had considered throwing it away but feared the awkwardness if Director Xu saw him do so.
Su Han arrived at the Inspector General's office and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Su Han pushed the door open. “Master Ke, I am Su Han from the Six Squad.”
“Oh, so you are Su Han,” Inspector General Ke Jianming said as he scrutinized him. “I've heard much about you. Please, have a seat. What brings you here?”
Su Han sat down and took out a silver note, placing it on the table. “Master Ke, during my recent trip to Linjiang City, I caught a smuggler selling salt and managed to extort some money from him. I wouldn’t dare keep this all for myself; this small token is a tribute to you.”
Ke Jianming glanced at the note and saw it was for two thousand taels of silver. A flicker of amusement crossed his eyes before he quickly adopted a serious expression.
“The situation is tough these days. Your Majesty has called on us to tighten our belts and weather the storm together, yet these salt smugglers are running rampant—they are nothing but parasites on our nation! Xiao Su, well done! I will make sure to commend you during evaluations.”
That was exactly what he wanted to hear. When it came to making friends, nothing was more tangible than silver. However, Su Han's purpose for visiting today extended far beyond this!
