He decided not to dwell on such trivial matters. However, when he looked ahead, he saw only a single courtyard with government constables standing guard at the gate. His expression immediately darkened. "Is that the place you were talking about?"
"That's right, Lord Qi. The esteemed Lord Fang is renting the courtyard inside," County Magistrate Lin replied hastily.
His gaze involuntarily shifted forward as well, and his expression instantly soured.
