After punishing the corrupt officials and collecting the silver, Ye Zi'an found himself troubled. With so much silver, how could it be transported to the Capital City? With so much, he feared someone unafraid of death might attempt to rob it on the way.
"Find the garrison troops to escort it," Yang Chuxia suggested. "The garrison here in Zhejiang might not be moved easily, as coastal areas often have pirates and such. Although Zhejiang has never been invaded by pirates, we can't afford to be complacent. It would be better to transfer people from Lingfu Prefecture."
"Yes, what you say makes sense," he agreed. "I will write to them. Once the silver is sent off, we can head to Yunchuan. But the commotion in Zhejiang is quite significant this time, and I fear it might not be easy to investigate other places. Our traces might be harder to disguise."
