The people around them were stunned.
This man was Leng Yuan's maternal uncle.
'Leng Yuan's maternal uncle is a high-ranking official?'
"Isn't Xia Qiuming dead?"
Perhaps out of sheer shock, someone blurted out the question.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was so quiet by the entrance that quite a few people heard him.
The county magistrate quickly spoke up.
"I know everyone is very curious about this, and it just so happens I need to explain the situation..."
"The news of his death back then was a necessary expedient. It was all for the peace of our nation. From now on, I hope no one spreads false rumors..."
With the county magistrate himself making a statement, who would dare say another word?
Although the explanation was rather official, everyone understood. This really was Xia Qiuming, Leng Yuan's maternal uncle.
'Then Leng Yuan's future is going to be incredible.'
They were filled with regret!
