When Liao Dazhuang was young, he had a nickname: "Bold Liao."
He dared to catch thieves no one else dared to catch. He dared to step forward in matters no one else dared to speak up about. He could fight and struggle when needed, and had done quite a few practical things for Wayao Town.
That was how he obtained the post of town chief.
Of course, this was all part of the résumé summarized by Southern Sky City's City Lord, Dong Bingrong, produced to prove that he had not shown favoritism in appointing people.
At this moment, Liao Dazhuang entered the Town Hall and had barely completed a bow when Hou Yuanwei, Prefecture Governor of Baolong Prefecture, seated below, spoke up: "Why is it so noisy outside, all that shouting and weeping? Who are those people?"
For a dignified Prefecture Governor to lose his composure so thoroughly, the wait just now must have been especially agonizing!
Liao Dazhuang lowered his head and answered honestly.
Among the people he had brought were Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao, mother and son; Zhang Cuihua's elderly father, elder brother, and sister-in-law; Zhang Cuihua's younger brother Zhang Hong, who had just been taken out of jail; Zhang Hong's wife, Madam Du; Madam Du's several brothers from her natal family... and even the gambling house owner who had gambled Zhang Hong down to the very last scrap he owned—Liao Guo, Liao Dazhuang's clansman nephew.
"In other words, every person connected to Zhang Cuihua and Chu Yao's current circumstances was gathered without a single omission, all within such a short time." Hou Yuanwei said coolly, "This shows that you, Liao Dazhuang, are quite a capable official!"
Liao Dazhuang's knees instantly gave way. With a thud, he dropped to the floor. "This subordinate is incompetent—utterly incompetent!"
