"Shen Zhao, Mechanical System branch, profession Gun Master, from Jing Province, not a Dongxia citizen. Seventeen years ago, you landed in Heng Province, and due to external blockade stayed in Old Factory Street. Cheng Ze helped you avoid two population sweeps, allowing you to serve in the nursing home."
"Xu Yang, Spiritual Ability System branch, profession Pilot, from Yai Prefecture, also not a Dongxia citizen. Both you and Shen Zhao are rogue traders with some skills. If you both can contribute in tonight's turmoil, the Inspection Department will consider granting you amnesty."
With glasses and a scholarly appearance, old Shen laughed:
"Minister Chen, I used to hear your name when I was sailing, the Heng Province Yanluo, impartial and iron-faced. Can you tolerate wild souls like me and old Xu?"
Chen Ruofu's expression was calm, showing no urgency:
"Even criminals can redeem themselves, not to mention rogue traders who merely wander in gray areas, not very serious offenses."
