"Who are you? What is your business here?"
County Magistrate Lin spotted Fang Yue and immediately questioned him.
Ordinarily, this County Magistrate Lin wouldn't have used such a pleasant tone. He would have long since ordered his men to drive the person away.
Even officials from out of town had to be polite and respectful when they met him.
After all, anyone with a sufficiently high rank wouldn't have been stopped at the gate in the first place.
"I have come from Shanyang Prefecture to pay a visit to City Lord Zheng."
Fang Yue said, handing over the document in his hand.
County Magistrate Lin took it instinctively, his expression still nonchalant. But it didn't take long—only a few breaths, perhaps.
The once-nonchalant County Magistrate Lin's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He immediately looked up at the young man before him.
County Magistrate Lin immediately spoke, his tone now respectful and cautious, as if he were facing Shangguan.
