Manbao's connection with Jishi Hall could be traced back six or seven years, but she really began to understand Jishi Hall only after she went to Yizhou City.
The owner of Jishi Hall was surnamed Zheng and had connections to the Imperial Hospital. Shopkeeper Zheng had mentioned that a descendant from the direct line of the Zheng family had been admitted to the Imperial Hospital the year before last.
Since the owner's surname was Zheng, all the managers in charge of the Jishi Halls elsewhere were Zheng family members, but Shopkeeper Zheng was from a fairly distant branch.
Still, his abilities were commendable, which allowed him to manage the Jishi Hall in Yizhou City, and even the entire Jiannan circuit was under his jurisdiction.
However impressive he was, he couldn't compare to the Jishi Hall in the capital city.
