Chapter 689: Using up the favor is impossible

The three of them didn't wait long at the entrance of the county office before the guard quickly returned, hurrying out to greet Shu Yu with a nod, "Mister Qi invites you inside."

"Thank you," Shu Yu expressed his gratitude and followed the guard into the Office.

Lu Erbai and Yao Po exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed suit.

This county office was quite similar to that of Jiangyuan County, though slightly larger.

Perhaps it was because the county magistrate had encountered some troubles, so the atmosphere inside the Office was extremely quiet. The servants and officers bustled about, heads lowered, attending to their duties, without giving Shu Yu and his companions so much as a curious glance.

They silently made their way into the main hall, and after the guard announced their arrival, they were led inside.

As soon as Shu Yu entered, he saw Mister Qi nodding at him cordially, holding the jade pendant in his hand.

Lord Cheng was seated nearby on a chair.
