by Salted Fish — The customs office was bustling with activity early in the morning. Firecrackers were set off, and music played as Xu Chun led two deputy chief inspectors out to see the tribute off. Carriages covered in apricot yellow fabric rolled out majestically, each bearing gifts labeled with items such as ores, pepper, fine wine, and jewels, all marked with apricot yellow tags and flags indicating their country of origin.

The advantages might not be as great as you think." Light replied fluently, "Trust me, no other kiln can match the quality of this." He extended his finger and gently caressed the beautiful pearly surface of the porcelain, treating…

by Salted Fish — "What should we do?" Xu Tingjie paced back and forth, his expression flustered. "Could he have been deliberately bluffing us?" Dong Xian sat in his seat, his face stern. "Calm down. He doesn't have any evidence. And if he truly believed it, why would he tell us? Why wouldn't he just report us directly?" Xu Tingjie asked, "Who could it be? Who would write that report letter? The Zhu family? Or the Wang family? The Wang family has a new head, and last time they thought the split was too much, they were…

by Salted Fish — Xie Yi unfolded the letter and read it, then called in the guard who had delivered it. Seeing that it was still Qi Luan, he asked him to recount the process of the maritime anti-smuggling operation in detail. Qi Luan wasn't particularly eloquent, but he went through the day's events in a meticulous manner, recounting how the Prince had gone to pick up Young Master Sheng and Mr. Lu, then proceeded with Admiral Qin to offer sacrifices to the ships before setting sail. Afterward, they had a meal at Penglai…
