Chapter 808: Chapter 806: The New Official Takes Office in the Border Town_1
The Grand Commander of the Supervision Departnt, Xu Ruyun, was not in the Capital City, and Mu Fangyun temporarily took over his duties, supervising the officials.
Upon receiving the ssage delivered by carrier pigeon, the ever-calm Grand Commander of the Departnt of Justice, had veins bulging at the corners of his eyes, almost throwing a fit on the spot.
“What happened?”
Chief Financial Officer Xiao Wei watched her lose control of her emotions, took over the note to read hastily, her face instantly changing as well.
“How am I supposed to report to Her Majesty about a ghost seeking revenge and committing murders, such bizarre incidents?”
Mu Fangyun frowned with a headache, even the imperial agents who reported this irritated her.
...
“The Magistrate of Jizhou is involved, it can’t be kept from Her Majesty.”
Xiao Wei considered the situation with furrowed brows and proposed her own suggestion: “How about this, imdiately recall the female official of the Supervision Departnt stationed in Jizhou and send soone else to thoroughly investigate. After we find out the truth, we can report to Her Majesty.”
“That won’t work, Jizhou is too far away. It would result in significant delays, leave the magistrate’s position vacant, and may cause chaos.”
Mu Fangyun heaved a deep sigh, smiling bitterly: “Right now, we have no other choice but to bite the bullet and report to Her Majesty and follow her directives.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Xiao Wei patted her shoulder, her way of providing comfort.
“Alright.”
Mu Fangyun let out a relieved smile, gratefully accepting her kindness.
As they looked at each other, each saw an understanding in the other’s eyes.
After hearing of the sudden death of the official, the Empress was furious, ordering Mu Fangyun to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Simultaneously, she sent her trusted aide to replace the Jizhou Magistrate, having them accompany Mu and head to Jizhou for their duties.
Without any delay, Mu Fangyun escorted the newly appointed magistrate and set off imdiately, rushing towards Jizhou.
After ten days of travel, they looked haggard as they arrived in Jizhou City.
At the sa ti, a group of young n had traversed more than half of the Fengqi Empire along the West Ridge Mountain Range and reached the border of Fengqi’s south, bordering the Nanxun region. They were about to leave Fengqi and head towards Nanxun Kingdom.
The Nanxun region is vast, with high temperatures and heavy rainfall throughout the year, making the atmosphere humid and stuffy.
The mountains are steep, and swamps are everywhere. The incredibly dangerous tropical forest was ho to countless rare dicinal plants.
In the Spirit Snake Valley located deep in the Scarlet Mountain Range, it was filled with blooming spirit flowers and grasses.
Year-round, countless adventurers were attracted to this place, braving the risk of being bitten by poisonous insects and strange beasts, they ventured into the valley to pick strange flowers and grasses.
The border of Fengqi’s southern region, Anping Town.
The remote town was not as bustling as the city, but the town center was quite lively, with various hawkers peddling their wares along the roadside, and a constant flow of people in front of the teahouses and taverns.
“Boss, we’ll have ten pot stickers.”
The group of young n walked their horses into the town, and strolled down the most bustling street in the center of the town.
Shitou looked ahead at a not so far away stall selling pot stickers, took out so copper coins from his money bag, and walked over with a smile.
“Hehe, young man, are ten pot stickers enough? Why don’t you order so more? Once you leave the border, you won’t be able to taste pot stickers with the hotown flavor again.”
The pot sticker vendor saw the eight young n leading their horses. His narrow eyes glead, and he enthusiastically promoted his business.
“Alright, then a few more.”
Shitou found the vendor’s words interesting, so he took so more copper coins out of his money bag, handed them to him with a cheerful smile “I want a total of twenty pot stickers.”
“Alright, here co the hot pot stickers fresh out of the pot.”
The vendor was delighted, skillfully scooped up twenty pot stickers from the iron pot, wrapped them in white paper, and handed them over.
