Just as he stepped out of the alley, Wang Daoxuan chuckled and said, "This Huang Qianhu sure knows how to protect himself..."
Shangjin City's troubles were too significant.
At the same time, it was an enormous merit.
Having Huang Qianhu handle the errand, with Hundred Households Liu arranged on the side, indicated that his position in the Captain Bureau might be somewhat awkward.
Great merits aren't necessarily a good thing.
After all, this matter had just begun; if he were to lead and continue the investigation, who knew if someone would deliberately drag their feet?
Once a mistake was made, even his life might not be spared.
And his illness just gave him an excuse to share the merit and take a step back for a more open view, letting others continue the investigation.
Another cunning official indeed...
Although feeling sentimental, Li Yan wasn't interested in the workings of the court. He and Wang Daoxuan walked through the streets and prepared to return.
