"County Official, from now on, I, as the County Master, instruct you to temporarily replace the County Magistrate and take full responsibility for dealing with all matters in Lubei County," Qi Tian said this as the first thing after meeting Huang Shuxian and the others. According to the laws of Great Zhao, his appointment was not considered a violation, as the County Master indeed has this power, especially since Qi Tian was a regular fifth-grade County Master.
The County Official promptly agreed, knowing that he had taken on a hot potato. But no matter how difficult, he couldn't refuse, otherwise, Liu Qing's family would be his precedent.
"Starting now, the four gates of the county town must be sealed. For everyone entering and leaving the city gates, strict inspection must be enforced. If any suspicious person is discovered, they are not allowed into or out of the city. Meanwhile, the situation must be promptly reported to the County Master Mansion, understood?" Qi Tian ordered.
