Zhou Shuren dismounted from the carriage with a calm expression. Mr. Lin immediately walked over and whispered, "Someone is going to accuse you."
Zhou Shuren had expected this; the case in Chuanzhou was not just from when Prefect Shih took office. Many were promoted to the capital years earlier. He glanced around, snorting inwardly, curious to see who would step forward first.
Changzhi had taken down officials large and small in Chuanzhou City, and the eldest son of the An family was imprisoned, triggering the nerves of many, fearing they would be next.
Zhou Shuren nodded to Mr. Lin, signaling that he understood, and walked to his position, waiting for the palace gates to open.
Mr. Lin felt relieved. It wasn't that his information was slow, but rather someone was keeping things from him. After all, a daughter from the Lin family was married into the Hou Residence.
