His words were met with immediate agreement from the crowd.
"Exactly!"
"If you ask me, there's definitely something fishy going on in Qingzhou!"
"We must report this at once! Send more men to Qingzhou to investigate!"
"Who knows, we might even find other useful evidence!"
A wave of fighting spirit swept through the group; they were clearly set on a thorough investigation of Qingzhou.
Su Wei asked again,

Ye Chutang pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Nothing else really, except… it was raining continuously at the time, and the merchants for the autumn harvest were late, which caused the local farmers considerable losses."
Su Wei froze for a second.
He quickly realized something. "Second Miss Ye, are you saying… a major grain merchant went to Qingzhou to buy grain?"
Although he had never been to Qingzhou, he knew a thing or two about it.
