Chapter 520

The next day, Shangguan Xuanyi was at work when Xiao Fuzi knocked and entered.

"The person in charge of cleaning and inspecting the seventh floor of the Lingcang Tower that day was a man named Deng Wei. He is publicly a relative of the County Magistrate of Cangsheng County, but in fact, he has a covertly close relationship with the County Magistrate..."
