Because of the need to assign people to take care of the disaster, the government office was much more desolate than before, and even half of the Yamen runners on duty at the gate were missing.
Sun Shaozong signed the morning call and found out that Minister Liu was not in the city at the moment, so he went to Governor Han's office. Jia Yucun, as one of the examiners of the examination paper, could not leave the Imperial Court until the ranking of the Autumn Examination was determined.
After asking the subordinate officials to inform him, Sun Shaozong waited for about half an hour in the flower hall again. Then Han Anbang came in with a stooped body. His face was pale and bloodless, and even his hair was gray.

He hasn't heard that his wife and children died recently.
Was it because of the disaster victims outside the city that caused him to be anxious and suffer from excessive internal heat?
But it shouldn't be.
It was said that the Emperor has sown a lot of silver this time [probably the result of the investigation of the He family], so the victims were very stable and had no intention of causing trouble.
Sun Shaozong thought in his mind, but on the surface, he did not reflect. "Greetings to the Governor."
"Cough, cough..."
Han Anbang didn't speak, but he coughed a few times. His face was flushed, and he couldn't breathe.

With these words, he stooped and sat down on the main seat.
Sun Shaozong waited until he was fully seated and said, "I have just finished the job of the Autumn Examination Inspector, but the Minister is not in the city, so I came to report to you."
According to common sense, Han Anbang should encourage a few words at this time and then serve the guests tea politely.
However, after Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he saw Han Anbang looking at him with gloomy eyes and a dispirited face.
Sun Shaozong, who only looked at him, was not comfortable, but he could not ask the reason initially. Otherwise, if Han Anbang went down the slope and told him about some difficult job, wouldn't he be at a loss?
After an awkward silence for a long time, Han Anbang finally said in a low voice, "When did Minister Liu get involved with the Rongguo Mansion?"
