The governor sent the body for an autopsy then started asking what exactly had happened. This case could only be closed once the autopsy results were revealed. The only problem now was that someone had indeed died, and nothing good would come out of offending the Fengs, an important aristocratic family.
When he thought about this, the governor felt his head spin. He had just told himself to serve the people and never forget why he had become a governor in the first place. But, he now realized that this was impossible.
Feng Xiang could see that the governor was having difficulty, so he magnanimously proclaimed, "My Lord, do not worry. Everyone should pay the price for their crimes regardless of who they are. The Fengs are citizens, like everyone else. Please go ahead and hand down a punishment that fits the crime. Only then will you be fit to wear this governor's hat and answer to the citizens."
