At night, the stars dotted the sky.
The Fengyun County government office was abuzz with people's voices.
"Quick, someone come! There's a fire!"
"Hurry, someone! The archives are about to be burned down, such a big fire."
Suddenly, a mysterious blaze swept through the entire archive room of the county office, and many age-old records were reduced to ashes.
The clamor of voices finally subsided after a while.
Sitting in the courtyard with a gloomy expression, the county magistrate listened silently to Chief Zhang's report, as moonlight scattered on the ground like a thin veil.
"Chief Zhang, is the archive room completely burned down?"
"Reporting to your Excellency, the archive room caught fire due to the dryness of the season. Although the on-duty officers discovered it in time, many important documents could not be saved. Please punish me accordingly," Chief Zhang said, kneeling down as if he were a collapsing tower.
