The person on the high seat spoke in an even tone, yet Fu Chang and Liu Sitong still detected a subtle difference in meaning.
This Senior Fifth-Grade Merit Officer Goong from Xirong County was hinting that Baiyuan County was ignorant of proper etiquette, implying that the two of them had not gone outside the city to welcome him.
But they also hadn't expected that this Merit Officer Goong would arrive so early.
"Lord Lv, I will fetch the Criminal Defense Bureau immediately." Fu Chang feigned alarm and said, "May I beg you, my lord, to rest for a moment in the rear hall? I have arranged the finest delicacies on your behalf."
Lv Jinhui's expression was frigid as ice: "There is no need. I still have official business to attend to; I have no time to waste in this tiny Baiyuan County."
"Lord Fu, you must summon all those involved right now."
"Everyone!" Lv Jinhui's tone hardened.
"Y-yes...yes..."
Fu Chang and Liu Sitong bowed and retreated.
