The word "conscription" is understood by everyone; in general, it means the government requisitions private belongings for public use on a temporary basis.
But how significant is this public affair? Who issued the order? And who exactly should be the object of conscription? There are too many considerations involved.
Take a simple example: when the Prefectural Governor's office conscripts soldiers, they definitely don't have the nerve to harass the Prince's Mansion.
Feng Jun's response was just the same: I'm not interested in knowing who wants to conscript my courtyard. I just want to ask you one thing—do you know who I am?
But even with just this question, it was enough to put the County Soldiers between a rock and a hard place—they truly were unsure of the person's identity.
