County Magistrate Pei, who was originally sitting idly and drinking tea in the government office, shivered in fear, almost collapsing to the ground upon hearing the report from the government official.
"Where did the carriage go?" they asked the government official.
"It went, went into Baihua Lane!" the government official panted, "It's the place where the fire broke out last time."
He got up to tidy his clothes, thought for a moment, then hurriedly sat back down.
The government official was taken aback, "Master, you're not going?"
"I'll go a bit later." County Magistrate Pei said, "Duan Manor Owner just arrived, probably needs to rest a bit, I should refrain from disturbing them for now."
After sending away the government official, County Magistrate Pei continued to drink his tea leisurely.
