The young official of Xuanwu City was called Wang Lian. He was 21 years old and became the registrar of Xuanwu City after the provincial examination.
Of course, he did not give up on the imperial examination. He was still studying while working as an official and wanted to obtain a Jinshi degree[1.highest and final degree in the imperial examination in Imperial China].
This was actually not allowed in ancient China, and one could only continue studying if one decided to be a staff member. However, it was approved in this world.
He was not born in Xuanwu City. His hometown was Nanyuan County, but he was famous and well-known in Xuanwu City.
He had another identity—the distant-relative of the Earl of the Xuanwu city.
Therefore, did Shen Lang know the registrar?
He really knew him. Three years ago, he taught Shen Lang for two weeks.
