Capítulo 136: Chapter 60: First Meeting with the Taiping County Magistrate

The grand vermilion gate towered ahead, with a gilded plaque hanging above the lintel, inscribed with the bold and powerful characters for "government office."

At this moment, the thick wooden doors were tightly closed, their handles adorned with bronze beast heads, fangs bared.

On either side of the entrance, a pair of majestic stone lions stood guard.

As if sensing Shen Qing's arrival, the doors slowly began to open.

Behind the door stood a middle-aged man, smiling and dressed in official attire.

His face was resolute, exuding a calm and restrained demeanor much like jade, with eyes deep as pools, and his brows conveyed an unshakeable authority.

This man was none other than the County Magistrate of Taiping County, Du Yuntong.

County Magistrate Du Yuntong had been waiting within the government office for quite some time and upon seeing Shen Qing's figure, his eyes revealed a sense of admiration.
