章 590: Checking the Accounts

County Magistrate Wang took a carriage to a high-walled courtyard on North Street. When he reached the entrance of the courtyard, the doorman welcomed him in politely.

Then, a slightly plump middle-aged man came over with a smile and welcomed him into the courtyard.

"Lord Wang, didn't you say that the new county magistrate has arrived? Why are you still free to come over today?"

County Magistrate Wang sighed and shook his head. "Manager Huang, is Mr. Cheng here?"

Steward Huang smiled. "Yes, he just came back yesterday."

Steward Huang brought him into the main courtyard.

When County Governor Wang saw the thin man standing under the eaves of the corridor playing with birds, he went forward and bowed. "Mr. Cheng, Lord Li arrived in Le County at dusk yesterday. This morning, he exchanged seals with County Magistrate Liu and suggested that he wanted to check the warehouse before handing it over."
