Chapter 70:
"What? Qiao Pifu is in prison?"
Inside the mansion in the west of the city, Shen Qinghe looked at his butler in surprise.
"The master has been in the study reading these days, completely focused."
"When I left this morning, I found out that this matter was causing quite a stir…" The butler looked at Shen Qinghe.
These past few days, Shen Qinghe has been reading books about cultivators and spirits. Once he starts studying, he gets completely absorbed. It was the butler who reminded him of this matter.
"It was my fault," Shen Qinghe said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
His official position is a 7th rank judge, responsible for handling criminal cases. Since Qiao Mu was imprisoned, he shouldn’t have been unaware of this matter.
"But why does that Qiao Pifu always stir up trouble? The Emperor can’t just let him say whatever he wants, even in a crowded teahouse, right?"
Shen Qinghe is an upright official who only cares about right and wrong. He doesn’t pay much attention to social connections. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been demoted from a 5th rank court official to a 7th rank local official in Nan Province.
