When Shen Hao left home in the morning, he noticed government officials moving in and out of a nearby courtyard. He ordered his guard to inquire, and was told that the house had been robbed during the night, with some property stolen.
"Is the security in Fengri City really this bad?" Shen Hao frowned slightly. It was known that on this street, only those with Xuanqing Guard status or officials from the Government Office resided; even merchants had no right to live here, let alone common folk. Yet, even a place like this could be burgled?
"Sir, it wasn't like this before. It's mainly because lots of refugees have arrived from the east lately, and many scoundrels have hidden in among them, which caused this situation."
"The east?"
"Yes, from the Pingshun City direction. I heard there was a disaster; refugees are all along the official road."
