At this moment, as darkness had just fallen, Wei Yutian's mansion had already been taken over by the government soldiers.
Originally, as soon as night came, the backyard would be shrouded in darkness, but now it was as bright as starlight, with soldiers carrying lanterns guarding every corner.
Clerk Qin led Ruan Fengshan to the pavilion beside the rockery.
On the stone table inside the pavilion, there was nothing but a pot of clear tea and two tea cups.
Shen Yanliu, dressed in casual attire, sat in front of the stone table, pouring tea with his left hand while keeping his right hand behind his back.
Ruan Fengshan entered the pavilion, bowed, and clasped his fists, saying, "Fengshan greets the County Magistrate."
Shen Yanliu, expressionless, gestured to a seat, "Shopkeeper Ruan, please sit!"
