"What has he done? What sort of thing?" Lin Caisang asked.

"The Master is asking you a question, hurry up and answer!" the old tooth woman exclaimed, bustling toward Zhang Shunlai.

"Yes, the registration here shows that he offended a high official," the old tooth woman hurriedly answered.

"Hmm."
