Entering the main hall, Chief Zheng gestured for him to sit wherever he liked.
Chief Zheng's attitude had changed. He poured Cheng Zongyang a cup of water and said:
"So you're Cheng Zongyang. My cousin mentioned you. He thinks very highly of you.
This is the first time I've seen him help an ordinary person like this. To go so far as to vouch for a young man's housing and even give him his personal Jade Pendant.
But since my cousin gave you this Jade Pendant, it must mean he holds you in high regard. Tell me what this is about. If it's within my ability and doesn't break any rules, I'll resolve it for you."
Cheng Zongyang was stunned.
He had just been guessing that the two might be from the same hometown or were relatives, but he never thought there was actually a connection between them.
'The older cousin is a Steward at the Celestial Fragrance Tower, while the younger is a county Chief Constable? What's going on?'
