The young County Magistrate sat motionless in his seat, coldly watching as the recordkeeper Jiang Hanzhang and a group of arrest officers and constables strutted down the stairs.
He then regained his smile, looking at Zhang Tianchang, "Tian Chang, your ability to manage your subordinates is quite commendable."
Out of the remaining sixteen constables in the house, five were under Zhang Tianchang's command.
Zhang Tianchang, however, replied with a wry smile and a clasped hand, "I am ashamed!"
Out of his total squad of twenty-eight men, he had only brought five.
Zhang Tianchang actually wanted to ask the County Magistrate what should be done next. Now that most of the constables had left with the recordkeeper, the city's rats and monsters, unrestrained, would likely wreak havoc.
Still, he held back, seeing the County Magistrate's confident appearance, assuming there must be a plan to cope with the situation.
