After dismissing his subordinates, Pei Shaoqing summoned Chen Zhongyi to his office. "Aside from the matter with Ouyang Rong," he asked slowly, "have any other major incidents occurred in Tongzhou while I was away?"
"My lord, your reputation is far-reaching. Even without you personally overseeing things, no one has dared to cause trouble in Tongzhou City recently," Chen Zhongyi replied with the utmost respect.

"Oh?" Pei Shaoqing raised a hand, gesturing for him to elaborate.
