In the end, when the two of them hurried to the council hall, they finally discovered that Yuchi was walking in front, while the other City Lords, County Magistrates and the like were all smiling as they followed behind honest old Yuchi.
So what on earth is going on here?
This same bunch of snarling mutts from just now, how come they're all so gentle in front of Yuchi? And now what is Yuchi planning to take them to do?
Yuchi also saw the County Magistrate and the legal advisor; he had the cook beside him lead the way as he walked up to them and said, "Perfect timing, you two, let's go eat dumplings together."
"From now on we're all one family."
"When it comes to the detailed stuff later, I'll still have to trouble you two to handle it behind the scenes, yeah."
The legal advisor and the County Magistrate were instantly struck dumb. The meaning in Yuchi's words was very simple: these thirty‑odd people here, they were joining Jiangnan!
Good grief!
