Chapter 87: Interrogation (Thanks for the extra monthly tickets from you guys)_1
Liao Qilin stepped outside of the public hall, loudly questioning, "Who is it that bangs the drum here?"
"It is a commoner beating the drum to declare injustice." Jiang Sanlang stepped forward to bow.
Liao Qilin sized up the man standing in front of him, "Why would you beat the drum instead of submitting a written statement of grievance first?"
Jiang Sanlang, "I've prepared and submitted a written petition, but I've heard nothing back for several days. Concerned for the safety of my daughter, I am in desperate angst. Fortunately, I have caught one of the kidnappers, so I brought him to the government office today."
Liao Qilin, "To whom did you submit the petition?"
"The document was submitted through our village's Sun Licheng. The office also provided a receipt." Jiang Sanlang handed over the receipt for the petition.
Upon his inspection, Liao Qilin couldn't help but furrow his brow.
The receipt bore the signature of Lin Huaisheng, the chief registration officer of the office.
