At the Huanglong Prefecture Magistrate's Office.
Bai Yuan frowned as he reviewed various official reports.
'What's going on?'
A clamor could be heard from outside.
'This is the Huanglong Prefecture Magistrate's Office. To cause a scene here, they must be someone out of the ordinary.'
The young man beside him grunted in acknowledgement, jogging out of the room. He returned a moment later.
"My lord... outside..."
Seeing him hesitate, Bai Yuan grunted. "Out with it."
"A dozen people have gathered outside. They all say they're from the Central Plains, here to 'seek instruction.'"
Bai Yuan looked up, setting down the document in his hand.
"The Central Plains?"
"Yes."
"I see."
Li Ru had already warned him, so he was mentally prepared. He just hadn't expected these Central Plains People to move so quickly.
