Yan Zhigao hurriedly rushed towards the relay station, his heart filled with anxiety. He was worried, first, that his children would be bullied, and second, that someone might take advantage of the situation to set him up and force him out of office, leaving him unable to keep even his post as County Magistrate.
He was not foolish. Having served as County Magistrate in Zhongzhou Province for nine years, though he hadn't accumulated many connections, he still received some news. The reason he had not been promoted all these years was because someone above was suppressing him.
He didn't know exactly what had happened in the relay station, but he trusted his eldest son whom he had nurtured.
Ever since his eldest son became a scholar, whenever he had time, Yan Zhigao would explain various matters of officialdom to him and analyze the future development of the Yan Family.
