"Is this something Luo Fu and Zhao Mingsheng came up with? Or has it been a common practice within the Salt Transport Department?" Liu Zhe suddenly asked.
Zheng Xiao let out a deep sigh, saying, "It must have been schemed by the two of them. I have conducted some secret investigations, and it seems this prepaid salt coupon issue started three years ago."
Liu Zhe slightly nodded, continuing to pour tea for both.
If this wasn't common practice, that was better; it meant this situation only involved Luo Fu and Zhao Mingsheng, without implicating any former Salt Transport Commissioners or Salt Inspection Imperial Censors.
However, even if it only involved Luo Fu and Zhao Mingsheng, this was still a very dangerous matter for Zheng Xiao.
If Zheng Xiao was willing to cooperate with them, then everything would be fine, and they could all profit together.
Clearly, Zheng Xiao was unwilling to collude with them.
