Village Chief Sun glanced up at the crowd surrounding his home, a sense of unease bubbling within. None of these people were from Lord County Magistrate's contingent, nor were they County Captain Jiang's men; not a single one belonged to County Magistrate Zou's crew.
What made Village Chief Sun even more anxious was the arrival of Master Tian.
Lord County Magistrate had three stewards by his side: a scribe steward, a financial clerk, and a criminal master. This Master Tian was the criminal master, specialized in assisting Lord County Magistrate with legal cases, and he had a good relationship with County Captain Jiang.
Criminal master... Could it be that his Sun Family was in trouble today?
Master Tian did not respond to Village Chief Sun's greeting but looked at the third entry of the Sun family house and said, "Village Chief Sun, you really are a major household in the village, to be able to live in such a residence, far more imposing than Master Tian's own home."
