Cui Family

Cui Zhong was from a collateral branch of the Cui family and held the title of the County Deputy in the county office. Regarding the Cui family taking in the hidden households, 50% of those cases passed through his hands. Although he had not come into contact with the core of the clan, just with the booklet in his hand and what Qi Haoran had said previously, it could be determined that they were going to rebel.

When Cui Zhi saw him, he began to suspect that someone had bribed his clansmen to frame the Cui family. Hence, he decisively turned to Qi Haoran and said, "General Qi, can we talk in private?"

Qi Haoran asked curiously, "You two aren't confronting each other anymore?"

"I think General Qi has some misunderstandings about us. I want to clarify things before that."
