Zixuan smiled, "Let him be. I reckon he'll have enough headaches just dealing with the disaster relief. To frame me, he would need to find the time amidst his busyness. We don't need to worry about that for now. Let's focus on getting the things we just agreed on done."
County Magistrate Zhao and Chief Liu nodded, "In that case, let's get to arranging things quickly. This is a matter that concerns the livelihood of the entire county after all." The two of them went out together.
