Inside the new city hall, Vice Clan Chief Mi Shen was dealing with government affairs with his entourage.
Out of the blue, the city started stirring in unrest after an earth-shaking tremor. Such unrest hadn't occurred for several months since the new city moved to South Ridge. Mi Shen frowned and said to his Martial Ancestor, "Go see what's happening."
The Martial Ancestor servant returned after a while, reporting, "Vice Clan Chief, there has been a recent meat shortage in South Ridge. We have reduced the meat ratio in the food supplied in the new city. Some influential families are demanding an explanation outside the city hall."
"An explanation?" Mi Shen sneered, "Inform Lord Di that he should calm these people down. If they haven't dispersed by noon, show no mercy!"
