When Deng Youwei finished speaking, Xu Jing had yet to react, but Chen Hu said in amazement, "A case? Has something happened in Anping County recently?"
Moreover, it seemed to be a case serious enough to change County Magistrate Deng's complexion.
"No, no, the case didn't occur in An, Anping County."
Deng Youwei said this as he took out a letter and handed it to Xu Jing, saying, "Miss Xu, you, you should read it yourself."
Xu Jing was slightly stunned. She took the letter and opened it. Before she had even started reading its content, she was startled by the dignified seal at the bottom. The phrase "Given by the Mandate of Heaven, Live Long and Prosper" made her eyes widen in disbelief, and she looked at Deng Youwei for confirmation.
Deng Youwei nodded solemnly, saying, "This, this is from the Imperial Guard beside the Holy Emperor, delivered today at exactly 3:00 PM (around 4:00 PM), and it is said to be a letter written by the Emperor himself."
