Three days later, Mr. Qiu from the Ministry of Revenue set off with his team and the main battalion to Jianghuai, while the imperial edict to confiscate properties had already left ahead by fast horse.
After Mr. Qiu left, Zhou Shuren finally realized that he hadn't had much rest and would have to start attending court again soon, and before Mr. Qiu returned, he would have no days of rest.
Moreover, with Qiu Yan gone, the tasks he was responsible for had to be taken over by Zhou, which meant his workload had doubled without any overtime pay!
Zhulan massaged Zhou Shuren's head, "Today's just the first day since Mr. Qiu left, and you're already unable to come home on time for dinner. In the coming days, won't you be staying at the Ministry of Revenue?"
