Shu Yu understood that Jiang Kuanyu and the Deputy Head Escort's families had returned to the Northern region. People normally think based on the principle of caring for what's close by, so they believed the black market should also be in that area.
Therefore, searching in the Northern region seemed logical.
Yunzheng continued, "Besides the reasons concerning Jiang Kuanyu and the others, there's also a reason we were misled. Qi Lie and his people discovered some clues, which also pointed to the North."
Shu Yu was puzzled, "Misled? How can you be sure it was misleading?"
"There had been no results despite searching the North for so long, and the Emperor was already somewhat suspicious. Coupled with the letter you sent, it's almost certain that there's no black market to the North. Now people have gone to check the southwest, hoping to find something."
If nothing is found, then that letter might also have been misleading.
