Shen Roujia frowned and asked, “Uncle, are you talking about Yancheng?”
The two men turned their attention to Shen Roujia and sighed in frustration, “What’s a Miss like you doing asking about such things?”
Shen Roujia couldn’t help but chuckle, “You’re talking so loudly, how could I not hear?”
One of the men awkwardly laughed and then briefly explained the situation.
It seemed that a large portion of the reserve grain had been ruined by a corrupt official in Yancheng, and a military officer had come to Huizhou seeking assistance.
Today, the officer was already in discussions with the Huizhou prefect.
Shen Roujia’s heart skipped a beat, and she couldn’t hide her excitement as an idea formed. “Who is this leader you’re talking about?”

The man scratched his head, “Seems like someone from the Gu family, but we don’t know much else. Everyone in town is talking about it, and people are getting worried.”
After thanking them, Shen Roujia said, “Thank you. I’ve got it.”
At that moment, Tu Lie descended the stairs, seemingly intent on watching over Shen Roujia and making sure no one bothered her.
Seeing Tu Lie, the two men, who were part of the merchant caravan, immediately paled and quickly fled. “Let’s get out of here!”
Shen Roujia spun around and frowned at Tu Lie, “What did you do? You scared them off.”
Tu Lie looked at his hands in confusion, even more puzzled. “I didn’t bring any weapons. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Tu Lie’s Chinese wasn’t very fluent, and his strange phrasing made Shen Roujia burst out laughing.
She waved her hand, sighing in resignation. “It’s fine, it doesn’t matter now.”
