"Earl Jingan!"
Lin Youzhen no longer possessed the calm and elegance he exhibited when he first met Li Xuan.
This deputy Zuodu Yushi from the Inspectorate had a pale complexion, with dark circles under his eyes - making it hard to believe that such an unflattering facial color could appear on a refined and learned official.
He glanced at Li Xuan through the bars of the prison, then bowed to Li Xuan in a salute: "Sir, I came to apologize. I was confused by others when the case was unknown. If I have offended you in any way, I ask you, Earl Jingan, for your forgiveness. Moreover, I was commissioned by my colleagues in Dali Temple and the Inspectorate to politely request for your release."
Li Xuan was slightly surprised to see him. He had not anticipated that Lin Youzhen would arrive so swiftly. He assumed that as the deputy Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate, Lin would maintain a certain level of dignity.
