Inside the Jingxi Town Governor's Office, anyone in the tea room who was even slightly informed would recognize Lord Shen, the Hundred Households Officer of the Black Banner Battalion in Fengri City's Xuanqing Guard. They knew quite a few stories about Lord Shen—he was not to be trifled with, and what's more, he was Jiang Cheng's disciple, deeply valued by Jiang Cheng; some even said Lord Shen had now caught the eye of Commander Pang, and his future prospects were limitless.
Moreover, within the Jingxi Town Governor's Office, Lord Shen never needed to queue and wait to be called. Whenever Lord Governor arrived, Shen could go straight in to report, a privilege that everyone else could only envy.
Watching as Shen Hao, led by the Government Office's Small Banner Officer, left the tea room, the remaining people all whispered among themselves, uncertain how long it would be before it was their turn to speak their cases.
