The next day was the first of May. With Shangguan Xuanyi's assistance, Shangguan Ruixi arranged for three batches of grain to be distributed, and each batch was overseen by a different person!
The three groups of people responsible for transporting the grain didn't even know about the other two groups that were also distributing grain.
Shangguan Xuanyi sent his men to discreetly monitor the actions of these three groups.
The bait was already set, they were just waiting for the right time to cast the net!

Jinghao's appointment letter had come, and he had to leave for Zezhou on the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival.
These past few days, besides saying goodbye to his friends, he also had to prepare his farewell gifts.
Xiao'er returned to her mother's home today to see how Jinghao's preparations were coming along.
Seeing Jinghao's packed luggage, Xiao'er said, "I'll have one of the merchant teams deliver these for you, so you can travel light! Zezhou needs people there!"
