County Magistrate Tang stifled a laugh, reached out to tug at the back of her collar, and motioned for her to hurry up and follow.
Outside the County Governmental Office, Tang's coachman had been waiting. The County Magistrate gestured for her to get into the carriage and told the coachman to take her home, "Once there is a result, I will send someone to inform you."
Such treatment, of course, was not available to everyone. Other plaintiffs would naturally have to come themselves to find out the details.
After Tang helped Manbao onto the carriage, he stood at the door for a while before turning and entering the County Governmental Office, "Where is he?"
The yamen runner was startled and replied, "Locked up in the cell."
County Magistrate Tang nodded, "Go find out his name and address, and have the yamen runners go to his place to ask around."
The yamen runner acknowledged the order but didn't move.
County Magistrate Tang turned his head and looked at him, "Well, go then."
