Another day passed. It was the third day since they had arrived in the Prefecture City.
Early that morning, in the rear courtyard of the tea house.
Fang Yue's family was bustling about, loading all sorts of food and supplies into a horse-drawn carriage.
They had to leave today. Any further delay would cause problems.
If they missed their window, there was no telling what other troubles might arise.
"Good heavens, that scared me to death! I was just at the street corner and saw some officials arresting someone. They said a Military Officer had deserted his post, failed to register at the Government Office, and was planning to flee again. Someone reported him."
"That Military Officer resisted arrest violently, so the officials broke his arms and legs and dragged him away like a dead dog."
Fang Cheng, who had just returned, didn't even have time for a sip of water before he hurriedly recounted what he had seen.
