Under the Northern Pacification Commission's full efforts, the Firecloud Prefecture case continued to advance, and more people were arrested one after another.
For a time, everyone connected to the Firecloud Prefecture case was on edge.
Those unrelated to the case naturally watched the fire from across the river, eager for more people to be thrown in so that vacancies would open up for them to climb higher.

This evidence was all related to their superiors.
The second-in-command received evidence against the first-in-command.
The fifth-in-command received evidence against the fourth-in-command.
They were all the sort of valuable material that could bring down one's superior and allow oneself to move up a rung.
The officials naturally knew that the people handing them this evidence were from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
Such a move was clearly a gesture of goodwill from Tang, the newly appointed Pacification Commissioner of the Northern Pacification Commission.
After nearly a month spent overcoming resistance from all sides, a case file on the Firecloud Prefecture case was finally delivered into the hands of Su Caiyi, the Commander.
"You've worked hard. No wonder everyone supported you becoming Pacification Commissioner. The Northern Pacification Commission really is different in your hands—the Firecloud Prefecture case was handled beautifully."

When that bastard Liu Yirui was still around, the progress of this case had always left her deeply dissatisfied.
With the two compared side by side, she felt their difference in ability was truly enormous.
