Ah Jiu was secretly making every effort to search for the location of Marquis Xuanwu's iron mine and military factory. On the surface, however, he was only paying attention to the corruption case of Prefect He, as he had come to the Northern Region specifically for this case and couldn't afford to do nothing.
Therefore, on the surface, the officials he met, the dossiers he looked through, and the details he inquired about all revolved around that corruption case, which allowed Marquis Xuanwu to breathe a sigh of relief.
The damn thief who sneaked into the residence to eavesdrop still hadn't been found, and he was most afraid that the guy would fall into Ah Jiu's hands, thereby exposing his affairs, as it was a crime that could wipe out the entire family!
For this reason, Marquis Xuanwu dared not show any weakness. During this critical period, he didn't even dare to continue haggling over that business with Song Cheng for fear that Ah Jiu might notice something suspicious.
