Bianning County Government, the newly appointed Prefectural Governor Xu Xi had summoned all the county officials and was now in a raging fury.
"With so many refugees in the county, how can we settle them? Relief, providing porridge! Where do we get so much grain? Now there's not a single grain of rice left in the storehouse, what do we do about these refugees? Mr. Sun!"
Sun Chaoen hastily stood up to pay his respects, "Your subordinate is here!"
Xu Xi had a pale complexion, with two neatly-trimmed mustaches, and his eyes were cold. He said, "Gathering so many refugees before I took office, are you trying to show me who's boss?"
Sun Chaoen was startled, and with a thump, he knelt down, repeatedly saying, "Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"
Some officials were shocked, while others showed veiled disdain.
