Governor’s Mansion.
Pang Yukun was reviewing reports submitted from various prefectures.
The Sun family’s militia had been annihilated, and the next day, at the eastern market of Qingzhou, all participants in the incident were publicly executed. The crowd that gathered to witness the event was so large that the execution ground was completely packed. People came to see this extraordinary event with their own eyes.
Having been oppressed by the nobility for many years, the common folk now saw the downfall of the noble clans. When Sun Yuanzhi was brought to the execution ground, countless people threw stones and rotten vegetables at him, a clear reflection of the deep resentment the people held against the oppression they had endured.
However, while Xiao Ming was now recuperating from his injuries, Pang Yukun found no time to rest. On one hand, he had to deal with the problem of the noble families’ dependents, and on the other, there was the matter of the Bowen Academy.
After assigning these two tasks to him, Xiao Ming seemed to have washed his hands of the matter, leaving Pang Yukun to handle everything while he went off to compete with Medical Officer Sun in medical skills.
Looking at the pile of official documents on his desk, Pang Yukun couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on. The Prince of Qi could be so serious at times, yet at other times, he seemed completely unserious.
“Chief Secretary Pang, here is the registration list for the Bowen Academy.”
A fair-skinned, tall young man walked in. The young man wore a green official robe, a stark contrast to Pang Yukun’s purple one.
In the Great Yu Empire, the color of an official’s robe indicated their rank. Officials of the third rank and above wore purple robes, those of the fourth and fifth ranks wore vermilion, sixth and seventh ranks wore green, and eighth and ninth ranks wore blue.
Additionally, the ornaments on their belts were made of jade, gold, silver, or copper, further distinguishing their ranks.
