Mu Hai, the Minister of Agriculture Court in Hai Province, was a thin, old man, with a neatly trimmed goatee. The most eye-catching part about him was a dazzling green jade finger guard that he wore on his left little finger, whose surface was covered with tiny and complicated runes. The sharp, pointy tip glinted with a bright gleam that made one shudder at the sight of it. Obviously, it was a powerful magical item.
The former Prefecture Overseer of Hai Province had already fled, as well as those officials who were loyal to him. Therefore, those who remained in Ningbo City were from the neutral fraction who had little to do with the former Prefecture Overseer, and felt that there would be no danger to their lives. Or so they thought.
