Dark clouds piled up, a cold wind suddenly arose, chilling to the bone beneath the dilapidated city gate.
Atop a splendid horse, the young man glanced indifferently at the crowd and with a flick of his whip, several people trussed up tightly tumbled before the onlookers with a "thud."
He spoke, "Caught a few little thieves, from Su Nan?"
Cai Fang hurried forward, "Yes, my lord. These men killed the steward of the granary last night and stole the city's medicinal grain. Thank you, my lord, for capturing the felons!"
The other's gaze swept past him and said, "Handle it yourself." With another gesture, the guards beside him dismounted upon seeing this, pulling several hefty chests from behind the carriage and bowed to Cai Fang, saying, "Our Lord Pei encountered this group outside the city, found their movements suspicious, and apprehended them. These should be the stolen medicinal grain."
