The accompanying guards put down their wine bowls and surrounded them. They didn't drink much at all, but An Sujun's men were already drunk.
Liu Yong was sobered up all of a sudden, and he and Shao Tingyi stared at Emma Yun and looked back.
Ethan Yun said with a fake smile: "I am Ethan Yun, serving in Kaifeng Prefecture. This time, I am ordered by the emperor to handle the auction of scented tea." He pointed at Zhao Yunchu, "As for him, he is really Zhao Yunchu, but he is responsible for the case of collusion between officers and businessmen of the Ansu Army and smuggling tea."
However, the two of them put the two cases together and helped each other. Zhao Yunchu covered for Ethan Yun, and Ethan Yun worked undercover for Zhao Yunchu.
Shao and Liu seemed to understand in an instant why Ethan Yun was always present whenever Zhao Yunchu discussed matters with the envoys from Liao and Xia. They also understood that the government sent this Dali Temple official as the envoy not just because of his relationship with Shao Tingyi.
