When Zhao Hu hurriedly arrived at the county government, Zhao Zheng was not there; he had gone out.
He could only sit in the yamen and wait.

Zhao Zheng and Zhao Erlang came back together from outside as well, not even glancing at the main hall, chatting as they headed towards the canteen in the side courtyard of the county government.
Sitting in the main hall, Zhao Hu just wanted to call out to them, but the two had already turned their backs, and their figures quickly disappeared.
Zhao Hu was silent for a moment, then simply got up and went looking for them.
He was stunned when he stepped into the side courtyard; the small courtyard was full of people squatting.
