Tonight, Qingshui County was exceptionally noisy. The streets, which ought to have been silent, were ablaze with light, and the sounds of hoofbeats, footsteps, and shouts mingled together.
County Magistrate Luo Hai, riding a chestnut horse and dressed in official attire with a longsword at his waist, led over a hundred government officials and soldiers in a grand charge towards Wei Dabao's house in the east of the city.
The torchlight reflected on his stern face, deepening the furrows between his brows.
Zhao Zun and Han Lei, dressed as government officials, followed behind Luo Hai. Han Lei was not following out of curiosity or playful intent but wanted to see what could be done with the confiscated Wei Dabao's house.
"Quick! Surround the front and back gates of the Wei Family residence; don't let a single person escape!" Luo Hai's voice was loud, especially piercing in the night.
The government officials quickly dispersed, surrounding the Wei residence completely.
