Inner hall.
Shen Changqing was sitting there. About a quarter of an hour later, Hong Cheng hurried in.
"Greetings, My Lord!"
As soon as he saw Shen Changqing, Hong Cheng bowed in respect. Clearly, he had already learned about Shen Changqing's temporary role as County Magistrate.
If the people from the Demon-Subduing Division lacked the direct power of life and death over the Yamen personnel, a city's County Magistrate certainly possessed such authority. Recalling Shen Changqing's ruthless, unblinking decisiveness when killing, Hong Cheng dared not show any disrespect.
"This is the Imperial Court's verdict against the Zhao Family. Take a look." Shen Changqing placed the verdict on the table.
Hong Cheng stepped forward, picked up the verdict, and began to read it carefully. Gradually, his expression became serious.
After reading it all, Hong Cheng respectfully placed the verdict back. "My Lord, the verdict has been issued. What should we do now?"
