Taiping County, Inner City.
Most of the people from outside the city who had come for the market had already left, but the streets were still bustling with passersby.
Upon closer inspection, one could see quite a few young lords and ladies dressed in fine silks and satins.
This time was neither too early nor too late, and with fewer country folks around, it was the preferred time for many wealthy people to go out.
A host of merchants, peddlers, and restaurant waiters were busily shouting out their wares.
The aromas of fried snacks, pastries, and alcoholic dishes intertwined, wafting unrestrained through the streets.
The Fengwei Restaurant, located in a bustling area of Taiping County, had an imposing red door that could be seen from afar.
As one of the high-class restaurants in the county, Fengwei was quite famous.
Shen Qing had just returned to the inn when he was summoned by Zhao Ba's men, and he hadn't even had time to eat, so he was quite hungry.
