Early morning, the next day
Zhang Jian and his servant were awakened by the commotion outside the shop.
This was a stopover for the Zhang Family's caravan, originally a silk shop.
After arriving, Zhang Jian and his servant temporarily lodged here.
At this moment, several burly governmental officials broke in, searching everywhere.
"Honorable officials, there really are no strangers here. These two young masters are advanced scholars passing through Jixian County on their way to the capital for examinations. Please do not offend these literary stars!"
The shopkeeper of the silk store hurriedly pulled aside two of the officials.
Hearing this, the officials dared not be negligent. After quickly inspecting the travel permits of the master and servant, they politely invited Zhang Jian and his servant aside.
Soon thereafter, they hastily left.
Witnessing this scene, Zhang Jian was slightly surprised, noting that these officials did not trouble the silk store's shopkeeper.
