There was a certain kind of business in the carriage and horse shop that no one wanted to mention lightly. This business didn't break any laws, but couldn't see the light of day. The rewards were substantial, but unless forced or truly desperate for money, no driver was willing to take it.
Of course, this business wasn't something you could take if you wanted or avoid if you didn't. Once an order arrived, refusing wasn't an option, and it was up to the master or the shopkeeper to soothe the drivers' nerves.
In short: money isn't the problem, but you have to get the job done.
Earlier this afternoon, Hengshun Carriage and Horse Company received just such an order. The shopkeeper didn't dare make a fuss. He went straight to Master Liu Hengyi for instructions—what should be done?
"Why are you asking me what to do? For this kind of thing, just pass down the orders. What's the point of asking me? You want me to refuse them for you?"
