Thump! Thump, thump!
In the morning, with the sunlight just right, the streets were bustling with people, and the sounding drum outside the Capital Governor's office was struck thunderously loud.
The Capital Governor was an honest and upright official. Upon hearing the sounding drum, he immediately ordered the court to be convened.
"Old servant's surname is Zhao, I am a slave of Mrs. Zhang from Marquis Pingnan's Mansion!"
Nanny Zhao knelt reverently below the court, holding a complaint high above her head with both hands.
Seated high in the court, the Capital Governor felt a jolt in his heart upon hearing the words "Marquis Pingnan's Mansion."
It was not that he feared Marquis Pingnan, but rather, recently, the Marquis had stirred up a storm in Capital City, attracting widespread attention.
Having disappeared for seven or eight years, he had suddenly returned, bringing with him several barbarian leaders as gifts.
