Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 61

It had just been sunny for one day when heavy rain started to fall in the north again.

The crackling sound of rain hitting the ground, and the air was filled with the fishy smell of soil. There were few pedestrians walking on the roads of Cizhou City. Because of the heavy rain, people went into their houses and did not walk on the streets. A black horse galloped out of the main gate of the prefectural government office, rushed through the city gate, and the horse's hooves stomped the ground, splashing rain water all over the ground.

Ji Zhizheng, the chief inspector of the Cizhou Inspectorate, was in the main hall of the government office. He handed the memorial to the courier and asked him to deliver it to Shengjing at full speed. Then he continued to discuss the matter with other officials.

On the tower, Xu Linghou, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, watched the horse leave the city gate and sighed softly, saying in a distant voice, "It's a fast horse from the prefectural governor's office. Thank you, sir. It seems that the inspectors have found out something."

Standing next to him was Xie Cheng, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.
