A few days later, a representative from the Public House arrived.
Not only did they deliver updates from the palace, but they also brought the verbal promise of the old duke.
To Su Bin's surprise, it was still Governor Li, the same individual from their previous encounter.
"Governor Su, we meet again," Governor Li greeted.
As Su Bin perused the letter, it confirmed his suspicions. The contents revealed the dog emperor's final wish, a piece of information the influential Lord State Duke had attempted to suppress.
Their intention was clear - to fuel Su Bin's resentment towards the dog emperor while emphasizing their own power. Positioned above the dog emperor, they subtly suggested that cooperation with them would be in Su Bin's best interest.
Governor Li leaned in and whispered, "Governor Su, the winds of change are coming. In the future, we shall all be recognized as meritorious officials."
