It didn't take long for Jiang Zhongfu to find out everything.
The escort agency itself wasn't the issue. However, Jiang Zhongfu learned that its owner's surname was Tian, and the family's son-in-law had once served as the Magistrate of Dao City.
Based on this piece of information alone, Jiang Zhongfu didn't dare finalize their itinerary on his own.
"First, send someone to look into the character of the Tian family," Jin Qianqian said. "While you're at it, have Chief Cai ask around to see if there are any other escort teams heading toward Lu City recently."
"Madam, I just asked a few traveling merchants," Jiang Zhongfu replied. "The road to Lu City is still quite difficult to travel right now. There's accumulated snow everywhere.
"Even though the snow has melted on some stretches of the journey, those areas are full of thick mud. Do you think we should wait a few more days before setting out?"
