"Please forgive my limited knowledge, could you explain this official token, sir?"
Having assumed that all officials in the Great Tang were aware of the Qixingjian, Qin Yuesheng was taken aback to find that the county magistrate before him did not know of it. Left with no choice, Qin Yuesheng said reluctantly, "I am the deputy of Lord Xun Sheng, the governor of Cyan Yang City, Qin Yuesheng."
"Ah, so you are Lord Qin. I've admired you for a long time," Ning Houbo hurriedly said, cupping his hands in respect.
Inside, Qin Yuesheng felt disdain; there was no such position as deputy in Cyan Yang City, so what was there to admire?
"I am here under Lord Xun's orders to find someone. Ning Houbo, have a group of officials dressed in government uniforms visited your Antong County before?" Qin Yuesheng asked.
"Indeed, that happened. However, those men claimed to be officials from Qixingjian, but I have never heard of it in the Great Tang, so I only casually met with them."
