Chương 298: The Greetings Outside the Capital Government Office

The original prefect of the Capital government, Mei Zhili, was a student of Liu Shi’s father. He always watched over the Fan manor. He was quite helpful with the Guo Baokun case. And when the assassination was attempted on Niulan Road, Mei Zhili, as a government prefect, was punished. Although he was allowed to maintain his job, his pay was suspended for a year and he was heavily investigated. No one would have expected that in the following year, the case of the spring exam would unfurl. After all this trouble, Mei Zhili was then removed from his position and sent out of the capital to return to his hometown.

On certain occasions, the Fan manor and Mei Zhili would exchange letters. Fan Xian had learnt that Mei Zhili was somewhat relieved to be free of the corrupt and evil Capital government.
