The night wind brought fragrant and chilly air to the lotus pond. The Minister of Justice, Tian Heng, stood with his hand behind his back, staring blankly at the gently flowing pond water, his mind wondering off.
Suddenly, his servant, Tian Jian, hurried to him and made an urgent report: "Master, the Yang City Minister received news that Su Mo was appointed as Minister of the Masses. The Yang City Minister has gone over to support Su Mo."
The Yang City Minister was Tian Kuo. He had inherited Yang City and became its governor after his brother, Tian Guang, had been promoted to the position of Lordship.
Tian Heng looked up with a jerk, opening his eyes widely as if fury was surging inside him. However, he immediately took a deep breath and controlled his expression, returning it to normal.
"Let him go." His tone was one of indifference.
Tian Jian exclaimed, "Master! How can we just let him go?"
