The crowd dispersed, and Chen Wanqing and her companions prepared to leave.
But just then, they spotted Chen Song and Mr. Cheng standing to the east of the government office.
Naturally, they had to go over and greet them.
They had barely exchanged greetings when a constable strode out of the Prefectural Magistrate's Office.
The man glanced down, quickly spotted his targets in the crowd, and walked straight toward Chen Song and Mr. Cheng.
The constable clasped his hands in a salute to the two men. "My lords, please come with me. The Lord Prefect has summoned you."
Chen Song and Mr. Cheng exchanged a look, then quickly returned the salute. "We wouldn't dare refuse."
Before he left, Chen Song told the others, "You all head back now. I'll come find you as soon as I'm free."
Mr. Cheng also nodded at Zhao Jing. "The results will be posted tomorrow. Be sure to get here early."
