The next day at noon, as the whole Su Hu's family was happily roaming around Furong Town, the newly appointed Mingshui County Magistrate received yet another secret edict from the Imperial Court, looking quite distressed.
It ordered him to settle the matter within two days, with no room for delay.
The Mingshui County Magistrate was so frightened that his legs turned soft. He immediately led his team to Thatched Cottage Academy to get the details of the spring term registration.
The headmaster of Thatched Cottage Academy, seeing the County Magistrate himself taking interest in this matter, had a drastic change in his color.
This year's admission slots were tight, both he and the steward of the academy had accepted a lot of favors.
Seeing the County Magistrate with the officers barging in unannounced, they mistook this as a blown cover, ready to arrest them and nearly tripped to the ground in fear.
