Former Right Chancellor Lu Kang!
To be precise, you should add the word "former" before it.
This fellow was exactly Zhou Pan's backer.
Li Yan even suggested to Zhang Shi Tong to take this old man down.
This person could well be described as a great avaricious official from Guanzhong. Like Zhou Pan, who had a knack for money-grubbing, there was more than one such opponent, and Li Yan was nearly deceived by his pretense of integrity.
Seeing the odd expressions on the faces of the few, Lu Kang thought they were awed by his identity and slightly shook his head, "Gentlemen need not concern yourselves. I've retired and returned to my homeland, no longer holding the position of Right Chancellor."
"Oh, excuse us then."
Li Yan and the others exchanged a glance before directly turning to go back inside.
Lu Kang was clearly surprised by their reaction.
