At this moment, He Dongqi only felt an immense pressure weighing on him.
If he cannot simultaneously handle the matter of the Wolf Demon and the village massacre by evil spirits, his role as Commander of the Deceit Suppression Bureau would come to an end.
If it is just the loss of his official hat, that would be fortunate; the real fear is the Empress Dowager holding him accountable.
As He Dongqi frowned in distress, a Hundred Households from the Deceit Suppressing Guards entered the council hall, first bowing to everyone present and saying, "Greetings, Commander, greetings, lords."
After finishing the formalities, the guard looked at He Dongqi and said: "Master, someone from the palace has come."
Upon hearing this, He Dongqi was stunned, believing that the Empress Dowager had heard of the village massacre by evil spirits and sent someone to confront him.
Once he regained his senses, He Dongqi quickly said, "Please invite them in."
