The sound of a teacup shattering was especially crisp in the night, and it carried even farther.
After hearing the sound of the teacup breaking inside, Xu Bai stood at the corner of the wall for a while before leaving in satisfaction.
In the brightly lit room, County Magistrate Zhang held the letter, his hands trembling slightly.
The contents of the letter leaped off the page. After reading everything, not only were his hands shaking, but anger also burned in his eyes.
The contents were simple: the Lin Family intended to submit records of their bribes to the Capital City and drag him down from his current position.
Moreover, to proceed cautiously, the Lin Family had entrusted the shipment to the Fulong Escort Agency under another pretext.
Besides this letter, there were several sheets of paper covered in records of bribery.
From County Magistrate Zhang's perspective, the contents above were exact down to the smallest detail, recorded from beginning to end.
He did not know who had sent the letter, but if it was true, then his career as an official was finished.
"Who exactly sent this?" County Magistrate Zhang thought.
After pondering for a long time, he temporarily gave up trying to trace the letter's source.
Was it important who had sent this letter?
Of course it was important, but there was something more important now.
He had to cut off the delivery of the ledger immediately! There were matters of greater urgency, and County Magistrate Zhang had no intention of waiting.
He could not afford to worry about anything else. He strode out the door in several steps and shouted in the courtyard.
"Men!"
The County Office of the Great Chu Kingdom had Yamen Runners on night duty as well, and they lived in the rear courtyard.
