Why did Huo Xiaolong send him to Dongyu as the prefect? And why did Huo Xiaolong assign him the responsibility of patrolling the roads?
"Shengyuan, do you know why the Emperor wants you to be the governor of Dongyu?"
Shengyuan is Lord Shen's courtesy name, the man then replied:
“I have done something wrong, and I should be punished.”
"You were implicated, how could the Emperor not know? Plus, with the Sword in hand, it's not impossible to ensure the safety of your Shen family."
Master Shen was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and bowed to Chen Yunsong, saying:
"Please enlighten me, sir."
The Prime Minister did not speak, but Lou Qingming spoke first.
