All the decrees issued in the city these past few days had been implemented without a word to him.
Worse, as the Prefect, he still hadn't even met the man in person.
It was so absurd no one would believe it.
Even when the Emperor himself made an appearance, the pomp was hardly any greater.
This was only possible because it was Prince Yu. Had it been any other Prince, who would dare to seize control of a city with his troops without so much as a word of notice?
The memorials from the Imperial Censorate alone would have been enough to bury him.
Accusing him of treason wouldn't have been an exaggeration.
Mr. Qian sighed forlornly. "I never would have dreamed that a small city like Pingzhou would be graced by Prince Yu's personal command."
And he, the city's magistrate, couldn't even find an opportunity to make himself a familiar face.
It was truly lamentable.
