No one knew when it started, but when Magistrate Liao began to be aware of it, he was already in the middle of this storm.
Those officials that used to support the road reconstruction project were like headless chickens. They sat in the yamen and tried their best to find out what was happening in the provincial capital, hoping for a breakthrough.
Among these people, Private Advisor Zhang was the most anxious.
He was the one that was on the best terms with Old Master Yan. Now that Old Master Yan was in trouble, he might be implicated too.
Rumors had been spreading among the commoners. They were saying as the yamen's Private Advisor, he had been covering for Old Master Yan all these years. He was nothing but a pimp after all.
