"I'm not sure either. Usually, the gates would be opened early, but today it's strange; even at this hour, they're still closed. Sir, should we send someone to climb over the wall and check?" someone suggested.
"..."
Town Chief Meng hesitated for a moment, "There's no need for now. I will take a look!"
He had his attendant knock on the big gate.
Soon, the gate was opened, and the guard looked coldly at the attendant before glancing at Town Chief Meng.
"Town Chief Meng?"
"Your servant, your servant..." Town Chief Meng hurriedly tried to explain.
The guard stepped aside a bit, "Come in then!"
"Yes!"
Town Chief Meng quickly entered the guesthouse.
The onlookers grew even more curious.
"What on earth happened inside?"
"Yeah, why did Town Chief Meng go in?"
"Who is that man?"
The neighbors were mostly curious, puzzled, but for spies of the bandits outside, it was undoubtedly a disaster.
