Shen Yanliu's face was dark as he sat on the Grandmaster's Chair, gently tapping the armrest with his hand, "Next year is the political examination year. If the big case of Xu Ruhu cannot be concluded, it might be disadvantageous to me."
"Although this case involves a lot, after months of pursuit without any clues, continuing the investigation might also be futile," Tang Wanhong said cautiously, choosing his words carefully, "Mansion Master, I agree with your idea of having the matter concluded in the Prefecture City through connections."
Shen Yanliu mused, "Inspector General Chu of Yuanyang Prefecture, who is in charge of criminal justice, has a penchant for antiques, especially paintings and calligraphy. Wanhong, you must be extremely careful and help me complete this task."
"Rest assured, Mansion Master," Tang Wanhong replied, "I'll have Mr. Duan take a look to ensure the painting is flawless. As long as there are no issues with it, the matter is as good as settled."
