Afterward, they went to the main hall to order some food and wine, and to listen to the latest news from Jianghu.

The person said, "Originally, Langya Pavilion was headed by the current Minister, Shen Yuanlin. Being a scholar, Lord Shen was reportedly so terrified when Xia Daozi came with the Holy Decree that he almost agreed."
"Guess who showed up?"
