In the backyard of Yuancao Hall, the Shopkeeper summoned four workers to carry the boxes of ginseng on their backs and gestured to more than ten workers to take broadswords from the storeroom and hang them at their waists.
He whispered his instructions: "You must protect this batch of ginseng well; bring back both the food and the ginseng for me. When you arrive at the location, probe into that lad's background to see whether he's an over-river dragon or a greenhorn. If he's just a greenhorn, make your move directly."
A worker asked, "And if he's an over-river dragon? Shall we just hand over the ginseng to him?"
The Shopkeeper sneered, "Even an over-river dragon needs to show his strength first. Now go!"
