"Chief, please give me all the land deeds. I now think it's better to have everyone's land registered under my name. Serving the people's welfare should be my priority."
As long as the land deeds haven't reached the villagers, there's still hope. He could go back to the county government and have the deeds written under his name.
"That won't do."
The Chief shook his head with a smile, waving his hand dismissively at him.
"These land deeds aren't yours anymore. If you want to have them registered back under your name, you'll need the landowners' consent."
As he spoke, he brought his hands together, rubbing his palms.
"Scholar An Que, I also have to be accountable to the folks who trust me, don't you think?"
An Que: "..."
How did things turn out like this?
What kind of misfortune had he run into to encounter such a situation? Why was Huo Ziyu playing such a joke on him?
