Bab 118: The Cold Platform of the Plum Garden

The entire Pure Heaven Bureau was very busy these days, but Shi Fengchen, vice-inspector and a high-ranking official, was leisurely frittering his time away. This was an indication that he was marginalized.

He was in charge of investigating the case in Chaonan City three years ago, and he finally found the perpetrators last year. Unfortunately, he came upon the Green Mountain Sect.

After he returned to Zhaoge City from Haizhou, Shi Fengchen was reprimanded by his boss, almost losing his official position. His position was saved because the Royal Concubine spoke on his behalf. Last year, he went to the Imperial Palace to thank the Royal Concubine for her help, but he failed to get further support from her. So many people thought Shi Fengchen lost his worth, both inside and outside the Imperial Court, and he was naturally marginalized; he hadn’t been assigned any specific tasks since then.
