"Is the prefect's official seal still here?" Lin Zhan pondered for a moment, then asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Yu hurriedly took out an official seal blackened by fire and handed it to Lin Zhan. "Fortunately, those sea bandits didn't know where the official seal was. This humble official searched for a long time before finding it."
Lin Zhan relaxed inwardly. It was good that the official seal was still there.
If there were no official seal, things would be troublesome.
Official seals were all made by craftsmen from the Ministry of Works. If an official seal was lost, getting a replacement was an extremely troublesome matter.
And without an official seal, many matters were inconvenient to handle.
Lin Zhan took the official seal and looked at it. Although it had been blackened on the surface, the official seal was still intact and had not been damaged.
"Paper and brush!" Lin Zhan instructed Ding Lu beside him.
Ding Lu immediately found brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and set them on the square table in front of them.
Lin Zhan wrote four official documents in succession.
"Dashi, take people to Suzhou Prefecture immediately and ask the Regional Military Commission yamen and the Provincial Administration Commission yamen to coordinate the matter of mobilizing troops to exterminate the sea bandits."
Ding Lu was Ding Qiu's son and had always followed Lin Zhan.
Lu Dashi, meanwhile, was a guard of the Yang Family, and this time it was he who led the team accompanying Lin Zhan.
"Yes, sir!" Lu Dashi stepped forward and replied.
Lin Zhan asked, "Did you bring the mansion's token?"
"I did!" Lu Dashi said.
"If anyone treats you with neglect, use the marquis mansion's token!" Lin Zhan instructed.
There was no need to think to know how yamen handled affairs.
