"Subordinate Zhen Shijie pays his respects to Marquis Yang!"
In the hall of Marquis Mansion, Shuntian Prefecture Governor Zhen Shijie greeted Yang Zhenshan with a bow.
Yang Zhenshan greeted him with a smile, warmly helping Zhen Shijie to his feet, "This Marquis has long held great admiration for Mr. Zhen, ha ha~~"
He was merely acquainted with Zhen Shijie, having no significant interactions on typical days and only seeing each other at morning court sessions, but Yang Zhenshan rarely attended those, so they could at best be described as familiar faces to each other.
However, Zhen Shijie was born in Liaodong's Ping Yuan Province, and the Zhen clan was the largest prominent family in Ping Yuan Province.
During a severe drought in Liaodong years ago, with Yang Zhenshan's covert support, many officials and wealthy merchants in Ping Yuan Province were investigated and seized by the court, including many wealthy merchants who were members of the Zhen clan.
