Chapter 446_1

Zhao Erhu had just gotten home and was busy getting up to speed on his family's situation. He went to the fields to check on the crops, then had Zhao Dahuo and Wu Qiang come over to clarify what had happened these past days and get an update on the situation in Xin'an City. Learning that under Magistrate Ceng Lu's administration the people's lives were becoming increasingly difficult, he could only sigh.

"There's nothing to be done about it, but as long as we act with integrity and sit with dignity, we don't have to worry about Magistrate Ceng Lu or Lord Wei coming to trouble us. Not to mention the connection with the Jiang Family, my time in the Capital City wasn't spent in vain. I believe Magistrate Ceng Lu knows better than to deliberately make things difficult for us. Lord Wei is simply relying on Magistrate Ceng's power, so he's of little concern," Zhao Erhu said.
