The steward was startled and hurriedly said, "My lord, why would you have such concerns?"
County Magistrate Fu stepped back a few paces, clenched his hand into a fist and pressed it onto the desk, saying, "Lord Wei is about to arrive in Yizhou with the relief food, and I've heard that his visit isn't merely for disaster relief. He will also investigate the breach of Jin Dike."
County Magistrate Fu paused for a moment before continuing, "As you and I both know, this breach of Jin Dike involves too many prefectures and counties. Almost half of Yizhou, even nearly the whole of Jiannan Circuit, are implicated. Our Luojiang County is not exactly close to Yizhou, but it's not far either."
The steward understood, afraid of becoming collateral damage.
He thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Lord, have you asked about this with Lord Fu from the capital?"
